The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

Song Wenjun had just returned to her residence and settled in, and before she could even catch her breath, people from Jingxin Garden arrived.

Jingxin Garden was the courtyard of Madam Zhou, the first wife of Gu Huaizhou, and the mother-in-law of Song Wenjun.

This person was extremely harsh. After Song Wenjun entered the mansion, she established rules for her, requiring her to visit him every morning and evening to pay her respects.

If someone had a headache or fever, Song Wenjun would have to go and take care of them.

In her previous life, Song Wenjun treated Zhou Shi with respect and courtesy, and was tolerant of her in every way, out of consideration for Gu Huaizhou.

As soon as she returned to the manor, Madam Zhou came to cause trouble.

When Xiao Tao reported to Song Wenjun, her face turned red with anger: "Knowing that Madam has just given birth and is at her weakest, why did you send Qi Mama over at this time?"

Every time Aunt Qi comes over, it's never a good thing.

Xiao Tao is getting annoyed with her to no end.

Song Wenjun, with a headscarf wrapped around her head, gently patted the child rhythmically to lull him to sleep.

Hearing Xiaotao say that, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

The saying "A bad master begets a bad servant" is absolutely true.

"Let Aunt Qi in." She wanted to see what kind of trouble Zhou was up to this time.

However, before Song Wenjun could send Xiao Tao to deliver the message, Qi Mama herself lifted the curtain and walked in.

Xiao Tao hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Mama Qi, why did you come in without waiting for Madam's summons?"

"I thought that Madam was kind-hearted and would not let me stand outside for long knowing that I have a leg ailment, so I took the liberty of coming in. I hope Madam will not blame me?"

Madam Qi was an old servant in the household. Because she worked for Madam Zhou, she thought she was superior and looked down on everyone.

She has triangular eyes, a hooked nose, and lips that are thin on top and thick on the bottom.

A typical mean-spirited demeanor.

Xiao Tao was so angry her face turned white. That old woman really thought too highly of herself.

Unfortunately, she had Zhou's backing, so no one could do anything about her.

Song Wenjun had a faint smile on her face, but when she heard Qi Mama's words, her smile turned cold: "I didn't know that Qi Mama was in charge of this mansion. You entered the room without being summoned by the master. Does that mean that you can disobey the master's orders and climb over the master's head in the future?"

Her face was smiling, but her eyes were like ice, making people feel uneasy.

Madam Qi felt a chill run down her spine and involuntarily took two steps back, her attitude becoming respectful: "Young Madam is right, it was this old servant who was impolite."

She respectfully curtsied to Song Wenjun, no longer swaying from side to side, and looked very proper.

Seeing that she had learned her lesson, Xiao Tao felt a great sense of relief.

"Did Aunt Qi come here for something?" Song Wenjun asked.

"The First Madam knows that the Young Madam has returned home, so she specially sent this old servant to inquire after her." As she spoke, Qi Mama placed a box of ginseng on the table.

Seeing that Song Wenjun didn't respond, she continued, "The First Madam's headache has flared up again, and she's in so much pain that she hasn't been able to get out of bed for several days. She's been thinking about the Young Madam and just wants to see you..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao clenched her fists so tightly that she almost couldn't resist hitting Qi's mother in the face.

Is it human to ask a woman who has just given birth to take care of someone who is ill?

Back when they lived in the mansion, Zhou Shi couldn't get out of bed for nine out of ten days.

It's either my back, my legs, my head, or my butt that hurt.

Whenever she was in pain, Song Wenjun would go over and massage her.

Xiao Tao held back for a long time, but couldn't help but say, "But my wife just gave birth and has difficulty even getting out of bed. How can I let her go to take care of her?"

Madam Qi exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly explained, "How could I dare to let the young mistress go to attend to her illness? It's just that the eldest mistress misses her and wants to see her. Miss Xiao Tao, please don't talk nonsense."

After saying that, Madam Qi looked at Song Wenjun expectantly: "Young Madam, don't you think so?"

Xiao Tao quickly gave her a wink and shook her head slightly, afraid that Song Wenjun would agree in a moment of impulse.

Unexpectedly, Song Wenjun said indifferently, "If my mother-in-law is sick, she should call a doctor. What use is it for me to go? If you really want to see her, you can go after I finish my postpartum confinement."

After saying that, she supported her forehead with her hand and cried out, "Xiao Tao, I feel so dizzy, please help me lie down."

"Madam, you've just given birth, you can't overwork yourself, lie down quickly..." Xiao Tao helped Song Wenjun lie down, and when she looked back at her mother, Qi, her face had turned green.

It's unbelievable! In the past, if I asked Song Wenjun to come over, she would agree even if she couldn't get up from the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).

Just because she had a child, she suddenly became so precious.

As if no one has ever given birth.

Back then, she gave birth in the morning and went to work in the fields in the afternoon.

What are you pretending for?

Although that's what she thought in her heart, she didn't dare to show it on her face. Qi Mama smiled awkwardly and said, "Then young mistress, please rest well. This old servant will not disturb you any longer."

Seeing that Xiao Tao hadn't moved, Qi's mother clearly didn't intend to send her off.

She was so embarrassed that she walked out on her own.

This was the first time she had encountered a setback at Qiufeng Courtyard.
