Chapter 21: Some people are happy and some are sad
"Okay." Zhong Lingyu spit out a word in his mouth, so be it.
Aunt Du was overjoyed and got up to thank Zhong Lingyu: "Yu'er is willing to give him a chance, and I am grateful." β
Zhong Lingyu waved his hand: "He is my younger brother, not someone else." β
"Yes, yes." Aunt Du said repeatedly, "Zhi'er only has two sisters and brothers, Yu'er and Ming'er, he is the most grateful child, Yu'er and Ming'er are good to him, he will definitely keep it in his heart, and when he grows up in the future, he will support each other with Yu'er and Ming'er, help each other, and life will be better." β
Zhong Lingyu bowed her head, sat up from the couch, looked at Aunt Du, and said: "As Zhi'er's mother-in-law, you always have a motherly heart for him, I can understand." But my ugly words are also put in front, you have some small plans, I don't care about this. But you can't do anything that harms our house. If this bottom line is crossed, no matter who she is or how big her face is, I just don't want to be famous, and I will never spare it. You need to keep that in mind. β
Speaking of the back, although Zhong Lingyu's voice was not high, it exuded a solemnity.
Aunt Du was in a cold sweat when Zhong Lingyu said it, and responded one after another, "Yes, no, no." β
Although Zhong Deping was alive, he always praised Zhong Lingyu for being smart; Now Zhong Lingyu is under the pressure of Zhong Deqing and supports this family, and everyone praises her for being capable and powerful. But Aunt Du always felt that everyone was exaggerating.
Zhong Lingyu is just a fifteen-year-old girl, she has been living under the protection of her parents, she has not suffered any hardships, and she treats people very gently on weekdays, and she doesn't speak loudly. How powerful can a girl who grows up in a greenhouse like this be? During this time, she was just holding on, and she didn't know how to cry behind her back. And it's unknown how long she can last like this. Maybe in two days, she will hand over all the business of the big house to Zhong Deqing.
This is also the reason why when Zhong Lingyu went to the tea garden a few days ago, Aunt Du originally wanted Zhong Lingzhi to follow her and Zhong Lingming, but later saw that Mrs. Zhong was sick, thinking that the situation had changed, and she had to take a step back and watch quietly, and did not let Zhong Lingzhi go to the tea garden together.
didn't expect that all his plans and careful thoughts were seen through by Zhong Lingyu, and he just said it, how could this not make Aunt Du's heart furious.
At this time, Aunt Du can be regarded as knowing how powerful Zhong Lingyu is!
"That's good." Zhong Lingyu took a sip of the tea that Chunli had received, and then waved his hand, Okay, auntie, I'm tired, you go back first. β
"Yes." Aunt Du no longer had the calmness she had when she first entered the door, so she responded with a snort and retreated.
Stunned, she went out of the door and went down the steps, and it wasn't until she came out of the courtyard gate of the Winter Moon Pavilion that Aunt Du came back to her senses.
She stopped, turned around, looked at the Winter Moon Pavilion under the sun with complicated eyes, and muttered, "Come to think of it, the big house should be able to hold up in her hands, right?" β
After wringing his hair and having lunch, Zhong Lingyu made a list of gifts and handed it to Chunli: "You go to the warehouse to take out all these things and pack them up." Mama Wu won't stay here for long, maybe she will have to go back tomorrow, and prepare the gifts first, so as not to be in a hurry. β
Chunli took the gift list and went to the warehouse to carry the gifts.
As soon as Chun Li's front foot left, An Jiu's wife Zhou led Mama Wu in, and said: "The slave maid repeatedly said that Mama Wu would stay for a few more days, but she said that there was something to do in Fuling, and she was in a hurry to go back, and she wanted to come and say goodbye to the young lady." The slave and maid had no choice but to bring the grandmother here. β
Mama Wu hurriedly smiled: "Although the old slave is useless, he is in charge of a mess after all, and it is not appropriate to leave for a long time." Besides, my young master is gone, and it's not a matter for the old slave to stay outside alone. So, I'm going to go back to Fucheng early tomorrow morning. I would like to thank the young lady for her hospitality. β
"I also said that I had time to talk to Mama, I didn't think you would have to go back so soon." Zhong Lingyu said with a smile, "Since Mama said so, I won't let you go." There are not so many things to do here, so I personally went to Fucheng to ask my uncle and grandfather to go to his old man's house. At that time, please take care of it. β
"This is how it should be, this is how it should be."
After getting along for such a while, Mama Wu also likes Zhong Lingyu very much, she is kind but very principled. Hearing that Zhong Lingyu was going to Fucheng, she was naturally overjoyed and said, "Miss must come." It's not that the old slave is talkative, in the current situation of the house, the young lady needs to have more contact with the city of Fucheng. Relatives, relatives, this relative, you can only kiss if you move around. My old lady has not said anything in his mouth for so many years, and he has always remembered you in his heart; The old lady is also a kind person. Miss went, and they would have liked it very much. β
"Then it's settled. After the spring tea, I went to visit my grandfather and grandmother. β
"Okay, okay."
The two chatted for a while, and Mama Wu took her leave. When Chunli came back, Zhong Lingyu instructed her to load the gifts in the car first, and prepare for the next day to send Mama Wu off.
Let's say that the Gao family returned to the Ye Mansion, and added fuel and vinegar to talk about what happened to her in the Zhong family, hiding Zhong Lingyu's scolding her for accepting bribes in the second room, only saying that Zhong Lingyu was arrogant and domineering, looked down on her as a poor relative, ridiculed her, and was very disrespectful to the Ye family and Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye is not a gullible person, she originally wanted to marry Zhong Lingyu as her daughter-in-law, but she took a fancy to her understanding of things, good looks, and good family background, Zhong Deping and Zhuang are not difficult people to get along with, so they made this family. So after listening to Gao's words, he was also suspicious, reassured her with words, sent her out, and called his confidants: "Go to the Zhong Mansion to inquire and see if you can know what the eldest lady and the second lady of the Zhong family have said." β
Since Zhong Lingyu took charge of the inner house, the Zhong family's big house has been run by her like an iron bucket in the past two years, except for a few traitors who deliberately stayed, the other subordinates have been cleaned up by her by various means, and they dare not chew the root of their tongue indiscriminately. If it weren't for her to speak, it would be impossible for the Ye family to find out the news without making a lot of effort. But with Zhong Lingyu's instructions and the Chen family's troublemakers, the Ye family inquired about the conversation between the two without much effort, that is, they knew what clothes the two were wearing and what jewelry they were wearing.
Although the Gao family knew that the Chen family would make arrangements, they were still uneasy, and after returning home, they also sent someone to inquire - she went to the Ye Mansion, and she relied on Mrs. Ye's care and rewards for most of the year, and also saved some money. In order to fill the faΓ§ade, she specially bought a little girl about ten years old, named Ah Xue, took it with her when she went out, and asked others to do things when she went home.
Ah Xue went to Su Mansion for a turn, effortlessly found out the news, and came back and said, "Madam, the slave went to Zhongfu, and I met the people on Mrs. Ye's side who were also inquiring." The slave and maid hid aside and heard the words clearly. The descendants of the Zhong family said that the eldest lady didn't salute you after entering the door, and she didn't pay attention to you, and there was no you in her eyes at all. Later, when you took the initiative to talk to her, she sarcastically said that you were a poor relative of the Ye family, and you were dressed ......"
Speaking of this, she raised her big black eyes, glanced at Gao, and cleverly changed the word: "Come out decently and decently to deceive people and fight the autumn wind." You relayed to her what your lady had to say, but she didn't listen to her, saying that if she didn't take care of the business, the whole family would starve to death. β
After speaking, she lowered her head tremblingly, for fear that Gao would be angry when she heard these words and make her angry. However, she didn't wait for the slap to fall, but she heard Gao's "giggle" laughter.
She looked up in surprise and looked at Hao.
"Alright, you can go down." Gao was in a good mood, raised his handkerchief, let Ah Xue leave, and then said to her back, "Wash and dry the clothes in the basin and then make dinner, move quickly, if the second master comes back and doesn't have anything to eat, see if he doesn't tear your skin." β
Xiao Axue shrunk her neck and trotted away.
