Chapter 014: Taking advantage of the situation
What Chu Xinyu didn't say just now is now said by Yuan. Old Mrs. Chu has always attached importance to family style and etiquette. How could she not understand Yuan's words? But the fourth sister did nothing wrong. Moving into Tayu Tower was with her permission. She also laughed and said that she would live as long as she wanted, but now she wanted her to rebel?
Chu Xinyu saw the embarrassment of the old lady Chu. The hateful Yuan Shi once again used her as an arrow and wanted to charge her of bullying the concubine's sister. She would never be as she wished.
Then he said to Yuan, "Mother, don't make things difficult for the fourth sister anymore. If you force the fourth sister like this, I will be uneducated and even have a place to fight with my sister. My reputation has been ruined, but I don't want anything to spread, and I will implicate the reputation of all the sisters."
Don’t you value reputation? Don’t you like to bully the weak? Since you have played the cards first, it’s not so easy to take them back. The good show has just begun.
Chu Xinyu felt disdainful, but he didn't stop and continued to point out, saying, "Besides, I don't like living in Xianyu Pavilion, it has nothing to do with the fourth sister. If the mother cherishes her daughter and is afraid that others will make people laugh at me in other aspects."
Yuan's gentle face finally became angry because of Chu Xinyu's clever argument, "How can you, girl, speak like this? What aspects do I do to make others laugh at me?"
"Yes, sister fifth, my mother is very concerned about your affairs. Today she specially asked Jinxiufang to make new clothes for us and add some jewelry to us. Only when we get your benefits can we wear new clothes and jewelry."
Chu Jiating is worthy of being a talented woman who is on the list in Beijing. She speaks flattering words so easy. No wonder she was coaxed to surround her before.
"Girl Yu, tell me, what aspect is it that makes people laugh?" Old Mrs. Chu said quickly. She used to call Wu Jie'er, but now she affectionately calls her Yu Jie.
However, this change made Chu Xinyu happy. Although he did not expect that Old Lady Chu would love and protect her in the future, as long as she was fair to things, it would be of great help to her in the future.
Old Mrs. Chu Xinyu asked, but she stopped being pretentious and said directly: "Since my mother is afraid of a bad reputation for abuse of her legitimate daughter, what if the servants are disrespectful to her master? Is this a slave bullying the master or a dog relying on his power?"
Old Mrs. Chu frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? Who bullies you?"
Although Yu Yatou had made a mistake, she was the legitimate daughter of the Hou's Mansion after all. Wouldn't she slap her in the face if she dared to disrespect her daughter?
"Yes, Sister Five, who dares to neglect you?"
Chu Jiating and Yuan looked at each other. They didn't know what Chu Xinyu pointed at, but Chu Jiaqi's face was a little pale, and his hands placed on his knees unconsciously clenched their fists.
Chu Xinyu glanced at the three of them, and saw Chu Jiaqi lowering his eyelids and looking guilty, and he understood a little in his heart.
Then she told me about Zhu Bo's yesterday's move to the kitchen to make hot water and was kicked out by the mother. In the early morning, her maid went to the kitchen to make hot water and was also excluded, forcing her to wash with cold water.
"These people are rebelling, and even the master dares to treat him coldly!" Old Mrs. Chu seemed very angry and asked Yuan: "Who is the woman in charge of the hot water in the kitchen?"
Yuan replied: "Mom, it's Li Po, I will punish her when I go back."
Chu Jiating glanced at Chu Jiaqi, as if she had remembered something, and said, "Isn't Li the aunt of Xiangcheng, the eldest maid next to her fourth sister?"
Chu Jiaqiteng, who was named, stood up and said in anger: "So what? What does it have to do with me if she did something wrong?"
Chu Jiating seemed to be frightened by her anger, and was stunned for a while before saying, "I didn't say it has something to do with you, why are you reacting so much? Could it be that you instructed Mrs. Li to do this?"
"You...you are talking nonsense!" Chu Jiaqi squeezed out after a while.
Even though Mrs. Chu wanted to favor Chu Jiaqi, seeing her attitude, she couldn't help but think of Chu Xinyu's repeated emphasis just now that she had no intention of competing with her to step on the Yulou, and she took the initiative to give in. But Chu Jiaqi, instigated her servants to exclude her legitimate sister in private. She was so narrow-minded that even though she wanted to favor her, she was inevitably disappointed with her.
But after all, the old lady Chu had a deep mind. Even though she was disappointed, she did not show it and said, "Since this woman is so bold, let's send her away and never hire her."
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiaqi's face turned pale. In the Xu Dynasty, if the servant was fired by his master and never hired, it would be like her breaking her chance to make a living in the city. If she wanted to survive, she had to leave the city and make a living elsewhere.
The way that Mrs. Chu was passed on to warn you was indeed shocked by the people below. No servant dared to be disrespectful to Chu Xinyu anymore. At the same time, she gave Chu Jiaqi a warning, which was to make up for Chu Xinyu's concessions.
