Noble Lady

I knew it would be like this.

Indeed it is.

She, she is going to be kicked out.

"Girl, girl, you can't do this."

"After all, I have served in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years, and now you just send me away. What will happen to me in the future..."

Xue Chenyu frowned when he heard this.

Yumei, however, spoke first, "Mother Xu, you know what you're thinking. You don't need anyone else to point it out to you, right?"

How could such a thing allow Yumei to be the only one to take the spotlight? Yuzhu immediately stepped forward and said, "Mother Xu, we have always respected you as an elder in the Marquis' Mansion, but you have disappointed us so much!"

"You should know how much the Marquis and his wife love you. They wouldn't let you suffer even the slightest injustice. They've been nurturing and protecting you since you were little."

"Yet you boast of your years of experience in the Marquis' Mansion, and you act like a bully every day, wishing you could just force Miss to swallow all the injustices she's suffered? What kind of servant would act like this? What are you thinking?"

Qiu Hua also said angrily, "That's right. You've been in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years, don't you understand? The Marquis's wife treats you well only because they are kind-hearted, not because you are so great. You haven't made any great contributions to the Marquis' Mansion either."

Dong Yue, "You are just a woman, don't take yourself too seriously."

Mother Xu’s face was pale, and if Yumei hadn’t held her back, she would have been unable to stand.

"Qiuhua, send her back to the Marquis' Mansion and leave her to my mother's disposal. If my mother asks about the reason, tell her the truth."

After all, she is from my mother's side, so we should give her some face.

After a pause, Xue Chenyu remembered, "Oh right, tell my mother not to get angry. I don't care about these things, let alone take them to heart."

"Yes."

To Xue Chenyu, Mother Xu was just a maid in the family, nothing special.

In the past, she was treated well because she did her job well and did not make any mistakes.

Moreover, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion had no practice of treating servants harshly. In addition, they had money and were never stingy with these things, so they were naturally extra generous to their servants.

But I never thought that each of these people would become traitors to their master.

Since you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, you can't keep them.

Just like Suzhi.

Speaking of this, Xue Chenyu remembered that her mother had told her about Su Zhi before she left.

Now she is giving birth to a baby for an old rich man who has some wealth.

That family had some money, and the rich man in the family had made his fortune in his early years with the help of his wife's family. His wife was now old, and her legitimate son and daughter were also grown up, so she allowed the rich man to take a concubine and have children.

Among the concubines in the family, Su Zhi went there. She was exactly the ninth concubine. She was very favored and had her own courtyard. Now she was pregnant with a child.

She is loved by her master, has money and children, all of which she wants. I think her life must be very happy.

……

But said the other side.

Qiuyue tied Mother Xu's hands and sent her back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Mrs. Xue was immediately frightened when she saw this scene. Qiuyue also followed Xue Chenyu's instructions and told Mrs. Xue all the strange things that had happened to Mother Xu during this period.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue's face turned dark.

"Xu, you are so brave!"

Her heart was beating violently, as if she was about to skin someone alive.

Qiuhua saw that she was very angry and felt a little scared. In all the years she had been in the mansion, she had never seen the lady lose her temper like this.

"Madam, then I..."

"Go back and tell your girl that I will take care of this matter. Tell her not to worry." Although Mrs. Xue was angry, she was still kind to Qiuhua.

After all, this girl is someone her daughter can trust and is a good child.

"Yes, the young lady also asked me to tell you not to get angry." Qiu Hua said nervously, "The young lady doesn't care about these things, let alone take them to heart."

"I understand. Just tell Yu'er the message."

Qiuhua didn't dare to say anything more and went home quickly.

She was frightened by the look in the lady's eyes just now.

The murderous intention to kill someone cannot be hidden.

……

As soon as Qiuhua left, Madam Xue ordered people to seal the gate of Qionghua Garden and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

Kneeling in the main hall was Mother Xu, whose face was pale and trembling.

She didn't mean it. It was her son who was always thinking about the eldest girl. What could she, as a mother, do?

The lady also has a son named Ping'an, and her son is also named Ping'an. They are both mothers, so why can't the lady understand her painstaking efforts?

Madam Xue sat in the main seat and stared down at her.

She always greeted people with a smile on her face, and in the twenty years she had been in the Marquis' Mansion, she had never had a quarrel with anyone, so everyone thought she was a smiling Bodhisattva.

But at this time, she had a stern face and just looked at Mother Xu without saying a word, which made Mother Xu feel that she had no way out.

"Madam, please spare my life..."

"Shut up, Madam hasn't told you to speak yet."

Mother He, who was always in a good mood, also had a cold face at this moment. She felt an indescribable disgust towards Mother Xu.

No one likes a traitor.

Like her, Mother Xu was a maid that came with the lady as a dowry. When the lady wanted to arrange a marriage for her, she insisted on going back and marrying her cousin in the countryside.

It would have been fine if the man had lived a down-to-earth life, but he was too ambitious. He didn't even know how to cultivate a few acres of land, but tried to learn how to do business. As a result, he lost all the dowry his wife gave him.

Later, when he could no longer make ends meet, he returned with his family and asked his wife to take him in.

The lady took her in out of pity for her, and she was the one who signed her son's indenture contract so that she could benefit from the Marquis's Mansion in the future.

The Marquis's Mansion gave his son to the Second Master as a servant, and paid a tuition fee to send him to the famous Yuelu Academy to study. Now he has become a teacher.

Her family were all supported by the Marquis's mansion, yet they repeatedly did things that were ungrateful and disgusting. She just wished she had never met this person.

"Madam, please let me explain..."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain. If you can't explain it clearly, don't blame me for disregarding our friendship over the years and punishing you harshly."

The person who begged for an explanation was actually given the opportunity, but was silenced instead.

Because she knew that she couldn't say what she was thinking, and if she did, she would be doomed.

So Mrs. Xu stammered for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Mrs. Xue lost her patience.

"Xu, tell me yourself, how dare you beg for mercy? When your son had such thoughts, I didn't kick you out of the mansion. I let him go back to school and even let him become a teacher in the academy. This was already because of your hard work in the mansion over the years, even though you didn't have any merits."

"I didn't expect your family to still be so evil and still have the nerve to covet the daughter of my Wu'an Marquis Mansion! You have such a big appetite!"

"That's how you told me that Sun Ping'an would change, that you would atone for your sins. But this is how you atone for your sins?!"

“…” Mother Xu felt guilty and ashamed. She opened and closed her mouth, but couldn’t utter a word.
