At the dinner table, everyone was eating quietly, and Xiang's mother suddenly called Yu's mother over. Huang Qiao had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Xiang's mother said: "Mom Yu, you are old and it's time to take care of yourself."
When Yu Ma heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground: "Old madam, please don't drive me away. I have a sick old man and a son with cerebral palsy at home. If you leave me, I will have no way of living."
Before Huang Qiao could speak, Ding Xun rushed to say: "Auntie, Yu Ma is old, but she won't resign. You can let her go to repair the flowers and plants in the forest garden. The work will not be tiring, and you will still get the salary."
"Old madam, I don't want to go to Linyuan. I want to stay in the kitchen. I have been cooking all my life and I only know how to cook." Yu's mother begged.
Huang Qiao couldn't bear it: "Mom, the food cooked by Mom is delicious, she...?"
"Shut up, when will it be your turn to speak? Are you the master or am I the master?" Mother Xiang immediately dismissed Huang Qiao's words.
Xiang Zichen was just eating obediently on the side. He didn't even look at it, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"That's it. Mother Yu, you can go to Linyuan. If you don't want to, go back to your hometown. The Xiang family doesn't have servants who like to gossip." Mother Xiang said with a straight face.
Yu's mother stared at Ding Xun fiercely, but Ding Xun proudly handed the dish to the old witch: "Auntie, try this, I made it, it tastes very good."
Huang Qiao also knew that Ding Xun must have said something. Isn't it strange that Yu's mother suddenly changed her job after staying in the Xiang family for so many years?
Huang Qiao remained calm. After dinner, she went to the servant's room to find Yu's mother, took out 5,000 yuan and handed it to her: "Yu, mother, please take this money. I didn't know your family was so difficult."
"No, madam, I can't take this money." Yu's mother immediately refused.
"Take it, Mom, this money is not from the Xiang family, it's my own money. It'll be fine. I said hello to Lin Yuan. I'll take good care of you when you go. You have to pay attention to your health. God
When it's hot, try not to expose yourself to the sun." Huang Qiao explained carefully.
"Young madam, thank you." Mother Yu said with tears in her eyes.
"How can you thank me?" Huang Qiao said sheepishly.
"Young madam, I want to warn you one thing. I think that woman Ding Xun is too scheming. Once she convinces the old madam, she will attack the young master. Her purpose is to replace you as the wife of this family." Yu
Mom said seriously.
Huang Qiao smiled bitterly: "If she likes to do it, and she does it well, I won't care anyway. If Xiang Zichen divorces me, I will be free, and I can go back to France to continue my studies."
"Ah? Young Madam, don't you and the Young Master have any feelings?" Listening to Huang Qiao say this, Yu's mother was obviously surprised.
"Mom Yu, you have worked in a wealthy family for so many years, don't you understand? How can there be love in a so-called wealthy family? All there is is a luxurious life and a family relationship that is drifting away." Huang Qiao said with emotion.
"Young madam, you are a good person, and you will definitely find your own happiness." Mother Yu said in a deep and profound voice.
Huang Qiao smiled slightly and said nothing. Regarding the last words her mother said, Huang Qiao wanted to refute, but she was afraid that her mother would be sad. She wanted to say, if good people all get happiness, then is the world still called the world? Is it still called destiny?
Destiny?
She never believed in such a thing as happiness. It was too luxurious and she didn't dare to hope...
Walking in the forest, she suddenly noticed that the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The Xiang family mansion was similar to her school in France, a European-style castle.
She suddenly imagined that she was walking alone on the Champs Elysees Avenue in France. She once imagined that there was a man waiting for her there, waiting to hold her hand and walk together. She once thought that man was Zhao Kang,
Later she found out she was wrong.
And Xiang Zichen is not that person anymore. And will she, the person in her fantasy, still appear? Is there still a chance to appear?
Suddenly a man hugged her from behind. Just as she was about to shout, she suddenly heard him say: "Don't move, let me hold her for a while."
It was Xiang Zichen's voice. This voice had always appeared in her nightmares...
