Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1042

She had a feeling that her niece Dongxi might have caused the trouble.

Her niece had come to her earlier and said that she wanted to work in the Young Master's Mansion and asked her to say a few good words to the young lady.

Zeng's mother did not agree.

In her opinion, for her sake, since the young lady had accepted Dongxi into the Xia Shiyuan, if nothing went wrong, all the maids in the courtyard would definitely be taken away.

Since he didn't take it away, I'm afraid there are other concerns.

How could she, an old woman from an outsider's family, have the nerve to go up to a girl and teach her how to do things?

So she only asked Dongxi if he had done anything wrong in Xia Shiyuan?

Dongxi answered her that she had done nothing wrong, and that the girl had kept her because she was worried that there were not enough servants in the mansion. In her words, she, as an aunt, did not have the face to do so.

The more you use your face, the thinner it becomes. Zeng's mother understood this principle and would not easily use up her face in front of her master.

Although the girl could not be considered her master, she had served him once after all, and there was some master-servant relationship between them.

Mother Zeng was thinking a lot. When she looked up, she saw Dongxi being led in.

Dongxi's eyes welled up with tears, "Aunt..."

But in just a few months, she looked like a completely different person. Her face was thin and pointed, her complexion was sallow, and her body, which used to be slightly plump, was now skinny.

Zeng's mother was shocked and asked, "How come you are so thin?"

Dongxi was just about to complain to her aunt when she heard footsteps outside.

It was at this time that An Xia came with Bei Hui, Hong Que and Xi Yue.

Mother Zeng didn't have time to think about anything else. She smiled happily from the bottom of her heart, "Young lady...oh, you should call me Madam now. This old servant pays his respects to Madam."

Shi Anxia gave him a virtual hand, with the same smile on her face as when she was in urgent need of help in the past, and said sincerely, "Mother Zeng, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you. I should have invited you to my house a long time ago, you see how busy I am, I have no time for anything."

Zeng Mama stepped forward and smiled, "I am glad that Madam is thinking of me."

Shi Anxia sat down and said with a smile, "Mom, please sit down. Beihui, make Mom a cup of the best Yishan pre-rain tea to cool her down."

Zeng Mama waved her hands and said, "No, no, no, I am not lucky enough to drink such expensive tea. Water, just drink water."

Shi Anxia winked at Bei Hui and said, "Mom, don't be polite. In my heart, your importance cannot be measured in a few words."

While they were talking, Bei Hui had already served tea. One cup for Madam and one for Zeng's mother, both were the same tea.

Zeng's mother was flattered. She couldn't drink such good tea even during festivals. She was almost dizzy from the smell. She didn't know that the girl was doing a facial for her.

Xiyue brought an ice crystal plate to the table, which contained ice cubes to cool down the heat. This was clearly a treatment only given to distinguished guests.

That’s not all. Shi Anxia smiled and said, “I prepared some fruits for Mom to take back so that the grandchildren can have a taste.”

Hongque walked forward and put the bamboo basket in Zeng's mother's hand.

Zeng's mother took it and lifted it up. Wow, it was really heavy. She said "I can't do that" but she was already holding the basket tightly.

What she was carrying was not just a few fruits, but the lady's heart. She had to hold it firmly.

Shi Anxia said, "We have some seasonal fruits. We should eat them first before they go bad. We can keep the candied fruits and pastries for a while longer."

"Hey hey!" Zeng's mother responded, and sighed from the bottom of her heart, "It is a blessing for me to be remembered by the madam."

Dongxi looked at him and sneered.
