It was true that the Xie and Xiao families did not belong to the same family, but it was not up to those servants to make irresponsible remarks. So what if they were caught? They would be whipped! As for finding Rong Antang to chase after Xiao Baoxin?
If he didn’t want to punish the maid of Rong An Hall, he wouldn’t have asked anyone to invite him.
Lady Yuan was a shrewd person and saw through the essence of it immediately.
Ever since the death of Attendant Xie, her heart had turned ashen and she had no interest in the affairs of the manor. The middle-aged food had been taken over by Madam Wang. In the blink of an eye, five years had passed, and she was unwilling to let go.
Old Furen had already made it clear that after a while, Xiao Baoxin would be in charge of the food. Furen Wang clearly wanted to take the opportunity to show Xiao Baoxin’s might, to strike her prestige among the servants, and to secretly trip her up.
” Baoxin,” she said slowly,””You are the new wife of the Xie family. You have to have some manners when you walk, sit, and lie. This is just a small matter.”
“You must keep your cool when you encounter something. As for being so scared when you heard your third aunt calling you?”
Xiao Baoxin was speechless. Was she scared?
She was excited.
The saber was finally about to be unsheathed.
Of course, Madam Yuan was on her side. Her words were obvious. On the surface, she was accusing the third wife, Madam Wang, of being unyielding and scaring her new daughter-in-law.
The mother-in-law’s protective attitude was quite like a mother’s!
“Don’t worry, I’ll go with you and see what’s going on. If this servant is gossiping, then you have to discipline him properly, otherwise he will break the rules.”
“Alright, what’s there to go? The food will be served in a while.”Mother Xie waved her hand.” Madam Wang will also be coming over for a meal later. Zhilan, make a trip and ask Madam Wang to come over and ask.”
Madam Yuan and Xiao Baoxin didn’t say anything.
When the Grand Madam spoke, there was no room for her to interrupt. There was no reason for them to push back when someone wanted to stand up for them.
“This servant will obey.” Zhilan received the order and went out to look for Hibiscus to go to the third room. She thought to herself that she had bet on the right treasure. The old lady really valued the new madam. At least she did not let her work in vain.
While Zhilan went to invite Madam Wang, the atmosphere in Yi An Hall was clearly not as harmonious as before.
“Because granddaughter-in-law’s matter has made grandmother worry. It’s granddaughter-in-law’s fault.”Xiao Baoxin said.
“Don’t apologize yet. We don’t know what happened. Let’s not talk about the fight between the maids. If a servant spoke ill of you, he would be punished, no matter what the reason was.”
Mother Xie felt that her daughters-in-law were like sharp arrows that had been unsheathed, revealing their sharpness.
Ever since her eldest son died, she had never been like this.
Xiao Baoxin fell silent and lowered her head. She couldn’t answer this question. However, she did not expect Madam Yuan to be so stubborn, even more so than her.
As they spoke, Madam Wang spoke, but it was not Zhilan who invited her. She saw that Xiao Baoxin was not invited and was instead in the Repose Courtyard. She reckoned that she would go to Yi An Hall to pay her respects to Grand Madam in a while.
In order to prevent her from making eye contact with the Grand Madame, Madam Wang had rushed over just in time for dinner.
However, he was angry and angry in his heart.
By right, inviting Xiao Baoxin over was to give her face. It was best to settle the matter in front of her so that the two families would not have any disagreements.
However, since she couldn’t be invited, she didn’t have to do it in front of Xiao Baoxin. After all, she was in charge of the food. It was inappropriate for her to look at Rong Antang’s expression. She was just a junior.
Although the rumors outside were arrogant and despotic, she had just married into the Xie Estate, so she didn’t dare to defy her elders.
Cai Wei was the first to make a move and beat her until her head was bleeding. No matter how one looked at it, it was her fault that was bigger. Madam Wang had ordered people to tie her up and give her ten beatings. Who knew that before she could even touch the two old maids who had made a move, one of them was kicked and fell to the side. That troublemaker was quite stubborn. He stood up straight and refused to accept it. Other than her Madam punishing him personally, he wouldn’t acknowledge anyone else. He threw down his pole and climbed up a tree.
She was such a big girl, but she jumped up in just two or three. She jumped higher and faster than a monkey.
Lady Wang was furious. She had never seen such a thing before. The maids and old women held poles and threw stones. The courtyard was in a mess. A stone almost fell and hit her head. If it was not in the back courtyard, she would have called the guards to come in and arrest her.
After Madam Wang left, Cai Wei was still lying on the tree in the third room, resting. The maids and old women in the courtyard below were also lying on the ground, exhausted and out of breath.
When he went to Yi An Hall to see Mother Xie, he had yet to suppress the anger in his heart and looked at Xiao Baoxin with a bad look.
“Sister-in-law, what are your eyes? Did my daughter-in-law offend you? Or is she hungry?”Madam Yuan said with a smile.
Madam Wang felt a chill on the back of her neck. This fellow had awakened, so why was he speaking in a sarcastic manner? It was quite the style of the past.
” I’ve seen the three women of the Three Sisters.” Xiao Baoxin greeted him first.
“I wouldn’t dare. However, just looking at you made your mother-in-law unhappy. How could she accept your bow?”Lady Wang was not as reserved as she used to be. She did not say anything nice on the spot and could be considered to have stood up for Lady Yuan.
” Your maid made a mistake. She beat someone half to death and bled all over her body. 1 asked someone to take her away and punish her, but she refused. She beat up half of my courtyard and caused a scene. Now, she jumped on a tree and acted like a demon…However, he was born a military general and had a valiant upbringing. I’ve never seen him in half my life.”
Madam Wang was so angry that her hands were trembling. Madam Yuan had finally married her son into a good family. The servant girl who came with the dowry even dared to go against the wife of the head of the household.
Madam Yuan frowned. To be honest, she had never seen such an arrogant person.
However, he couldn’t just listen to one side of the story. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Baoxin say,
“That maid is called Cai Wei, she is usually a simple-minded person. If she offended Third Shen, 1 will apologize to Third Shen here. How was the person who was beaten up? Was he alright?”
“Good, she’s fine. Her head is about to open, and she’s covered in blood. She even lost a tooth. She’s just not dead.”
“No, Third Aunt misunderstood.” Xiao Baoxin hurriedly explained,” It’s just that Third Aunt sent someone to call me over. I wasn’t around and didn’t know the twists and turns of this matter. I heard the messenger, Ren Caiwei, hear people talking bad about me, so 1 went up to reason with them. I don’t know how the two of them ended up fighting…”
“Cai Wei started to serve me when I was seven or eight years old. She practiced martial arts with me. Although her martial arts were not good and her personality was reckless, she never used martial arts to bully others. She was in the wrong to hit someone, and 1 would not allow anything unreasonable to happen. But 1 would like to ask Third Shen to bring the person who was beaten up to me and allow me to interrogate him in detail. If it is really Cai Wei’s fault, I will definitely give Third Shen an explanation and will not tolerate it.”
When Madam Wang heard this, she almost crushed her pearly white teeth.
She had caused a ruckus in her courtyard, and half of the people had suffered from her punches and kicks. This was still called lacking in martial arts.. According to Xiao Baoxin’s meaning, her martial arts were useful, and she was blatantly threatening her?!
