LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?
Chapter 65 Provocation
However, the reason why the butler is a butler is because he is experienced and shrewd. After just a moment of shock, the butler sent the other servants away.
Lu Chenshuang naturally also received the news that Jing Zhaoyan went straight to Liu Anran after returning home.
Lu Chenshuang sneered. Originally, she just thought that Jing Zhaoyan was unfaithful to his marriage because he divorced his wife and remarried because he didn't like the original owner.
But now it seems that he has not been home for three years, and the first thing he does when he comes back is not to go home to see the lady who raised him with great effort.
Instead, he went to drink with his colleagues first, and then went straight to his lover. He was not filial to his widowed mother.
So Lu Chenshuang didn’t know why the original owner liked Jing Zhaoyan, who was such an unfaithful and unfilial person.
Thinking of this, Lu Chenshuang's eyes became dim, and she immediately called Guyu and asked her to go to Ci'an Hall.
The lady had been waiting here for a whole day and seeing that her son had not returned yet, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
She had been trying to find out Jing Zhaoyan's whereabouts all day, and learned that he had left the palace to drink with a few colleagues. Although she felt a little sorry that her son did not come back to see her immediately, she could still understand it.
But now it was almost dark, and the lady was getting restless as Jing Zhaoyan hadn't come back yet.
Just when the lady was about to send someone to investigate further, Haiyun walked in with a smile on her face.
After bowing to the Madam, she said, "Madam, I just passed by the gatehouse and heard that the young marquis has returned."
Upon hearing this, the lady's face lit up and she asked, "Really? Where is he now? Why didn't he come to pay his respects to me?"
The Madam asked three questions in a row, and Haiyun pretended to be surprised and asked, "Ah, the young marquis didn't come to pay his respects to the Madam.
But I heard that the Marquis has been in the mansion for half an hour, so he should have arrived at our Ci'an Hall by now."
Upon hearing this, the Madam's face instantly turned cold and she said, "Could it be that he was kidnapped by that bitch Lu Chenshuang?
Humph, he is indeed from a humble family and doesn't even care about this little bit of propriety and honor.
Look at her attitude towards me, she's like a black-eyed chicken, as if she wants to eat me alive.
She shows disdain for Yan'er all day long, but look at her now, she is really a despicable person who can't live without men.
How can a man go out to fight and come home without first greeting his parents and fooling around with his wife? "
The old lady took it for granted that Jing Zhaoyan did not come to pay his respects to her, but went to Lu Chenshuang, so she scolded Lu Chenshuang without any reason.
Fortunately, Lu Chenshuang didn't hear this, but even if she heard it, she wouldn't care. It was worth it to make the lady so angry.
Seeing that the Madam was completely furious, Haiyun spoke up, "No way, when I came in, I heard that it was Steward Xing who personally came to greet the young marquis, and I didn't hear that they went to Lishuang Garden.
Madam, why don't you ask Butler Xing? He must know the most about this matter."
Upon hearing this, the lady felt that what Haiyun said made sense. Jing Zhaoyan really disliked Lu Chenshuang, and he should not have gone to her the first thing he did when he came back.
Thinking of this, the lady's expression eased a lot, and then she said to Haiyun: "You are right, the matter has not been clarified yet, so we can't jump to conclusions.
Send someone to find the butler for me. If he dares to deceive his superiors and subordinates, his position as butler will be over."
Upon hearing this, Haiyun quickly agreed, then went out and told a maid to call housekeeper Xing to Ci'an Hall.
Upon hearing this, the maid did not dare to delay and hurried to find someone.
Seeing this, Haiyun smiled.
After two cups of tea, Qian Guyu came to Ci'an Hall to find her and told her that Jing Zhaoyan had returned home, but went to Liu Anran and asked her to say this in front of the lady.
In fact, Haiyun felt sorry for Lu Chenshuang. It was fine that their Marquis didn't like the lady, but now he actually liked men. If this got out, how could the lady face people?
The lady has been taking good care of her over the past few months, and Haiyun is not an ungrateful person, so she immediately decided to help Lu Chenshuang.
Soon, Butler Xing came running over, panting.
Haiyun bowed to him, and Butler Xing said quickly, "Oh, Miss Haiyun, you are embarrassing me.
You are now the most favored person by the Madam's side, and I will have to rely on you for more advice in the future."
Haiyun said to Butler Xing with a half-smile: "Look at what you said, butler, what's the point of being the first or not? In the end, we are just servants.
Since Butler Xing has said so, Haiyun will boldly remind you that it doesn’t matter how fast or slow you go, but it will be difficult to deal with it if you don’t say the right thing.”
After saying that, Haiyun took the lead and walked into the lady's room.
Butler Xing pondered over Haiyun's words for a while, and his mouth felt more and more bitter. It seemed that his job as butler might not be easy anymore.
Seeing that Butler Xing was still not coming in, the Madam said angrily, "Xing Erhu, you are becoming more and more impressive. Why do you need me to personally go out and invite you in before you are willing to come in?"
Upon hearing this, Butler Xing hurriedly walked in.
Then he knelt straight on the ground and greeted the lady.
But the Madam did not let him get up. Instead, she looked at him fiercely and said, "Xing Erhu, who was it that went against all odds and allowed you to take the position of housekeeper?
It would be fine if you didn't repay the kindness you received, but now you have even learned to be disloyal.
It seems like your career as a housekeeper has come to an end."
Steward Xing's original name was Xing Erhu. He was originally just a minor steward in Jingyang Marquis Mansion. Because he curryed favor with the lady and was smart in his work, he was promoted to the chief steward of Jingyang Marquis Mansion.
But even though he was the chief steward, the Madam Dowager had been very strict in running the household for so many years and wanted to take care of all the affairs in the mansion. Xing Erhu had no power at all, but had to obey the Madam Dowager's favor all the time.
Facing the questioning of the Madam, Xing Erhu replied tremblingly: "I don't know what I did wrong. Please tell me, Madam."
The lady sneered and said, "What's the matter? Let me ask you, has your Lord returned home? Has he gone to Lishuang Garden? Why didn't he report to me?"
You know that bitch Lu Chenshuang has been against me recently, how can I tolerate her seducing the Marquis?"
Xing Erhu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It turned out that the lady was angry about this matter.
So he wiped the sweat off his head and said, "Madam, the Marquis has returned home.
But he did not go to Lishuang Garden. "
The lady was stunned when she heard this. Since Jing Zhaoyan didn't come to Ci'an Hall to pay his respects to her, nor did he go to Lishuang Garden, where could he have gone?
Xing Erhu did not wait for the lady to ask any more questions before he spoke again: "The Marquis went to the servants' room to see the personal soldier.
The Marquis seems to be dissatisfied with the Madam placing the soldier in the servants' room, and he has not come out since then."
As soon as Xing Erhu said this, the lady felt something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment, so she decided to go and see for herself.
