January's words were quite rude, especially the heavy-handed phrase "every time he ran away", which was clearly a warning to Wang Xifeng that if he came to the door again without submitting the message in advance, he would never see Jiusi.
The maid who conveyed the message obviously didn't expect her to say that. She couldn't help but look up in surprise, but was startled by her dark eyes. She quickly lowered her head and said "yes" and ran quickly to reply.
Wang Xifeng waited on the carriage outside the door for a long time, but no one from the Lin family came out to greet her, so she frowned unhappily: "It's different after leaving the mansion. When I lived in the mansion before, I could do anything no matter what.
It's a good thing to meet people now, but it's actually hard to even meet them."
Ping'er reached out and handed her a cup of warm tea, and then fanned her while calming her down: "Grandma, don't be anxious, drink tea slowly first, Miss Lin and the others will come out later.
Maybe they are on their way to meet you, just wait!"
Ask her to tell you that the old ladies just can't see their identity clearly. In the past, when they lived in the mansion, you could only make up your mind.
But now that everyone has returned to the Lin family, if you still want to put on airs and manipulate others, aren't you waiting for others to take advantage of you?
Although she persuaded her grandma that she would come out to greet her, she felt like a mirror in her heart. They were afraid that they would not even be able to enter the Lin family's door today.
If the other party really wanted to see them, they would have been welcomed in and waited for them as early as when they reported their identities. How could they have waited here for so long?
How could Wang Xifeng not understand what Ping'er could figure out? But the old lady had already spoken. If she didn't come, she would have to set the rules again.
She sighed helplessly: "Well, we are asking for help from others. Let's just wait a little longer. You can keep an eye on me for a while. I'll take a rest first. If someone comes out, let me know.
." After that, he put his head on his hands and closed his eyes to rest.
When she woke up this morning, she felt a little uncomfortable. After taking care of things at home, she originally thought of resting in the courtyard. But as soon as she lay down, the old lady sent someone to say that Lin Yatou had entered the palace again.
Go and ask her to get some information.
She had no choice but to fight back her tiredness and get up, bringing Ping'er to the Lin family. As a result, she didn't even get through the door.
Thinking about this kind of treatment, one time is really worse than the other.
Ping'er wanted to remind her not to wear makeup, but seeing the look of exhaustion on her face, she swallowed her words again, silently took the ice basin a little further away, and fanned her again.
After all, she was her master who had been with her for many years. Even if she had resentment in her heart, when she saw him in such a mess, she still couldn't help but feel soft and distressed.
The two of them waited not long before the maid who had delivered the message returned to the door and told the steward of January's intention.
After hearing this, the steward asked again in disbelief. After seeing that it was really not a joke, he went out to deliver the message.
When Ping'er saw someone coming out, he hurriedly woke up Wang Xifeng, helped her tidy up her clothes and outfit, and then opened the curtain of the carriage.
Seeing this, the manager in charge bowed to her politely and then said: "I'm really sorry for keeping Mistress Lian waiting for so long!
It's a bit unlucky that you came here. I just asked someone to ask and I found out that the girls just went out to have something to do and are no longer in the house. If you need to find the girls, please send a message in advance next time, slave.
It’s better to inform the masters in advance.”
How could Wang Xifeng, such a good person, not understand the hidden meaning in those words? She couldn't help but said angrily: "Did they just go out, or do they not want to see me, the second sister-in-law?"
Hearing this, the manager in charge kept the smile on his face, but his eyes turned cold when he looked at her: "Second Grandma Lian was joking. Girls are all people who value friendship and righteousness. Otherwise, they wouldn't do it for the sake of giving."
As a filial piety, the master has not lived at home but at Jia's house for so long, hasn't he?
It's really just a coincidence that you are not in the house today. Because the Jia family didn't send the notice in advance, the girls didn't know that you were coming to visit today, so they went to do their own things early.
If they had known in advance that relatives were coming to visit, the girls would definitely not have gone out and would have gone out to greet them long ago."
Everyone said that the second grandma of the Jia family was cruel. He had not thought of it before, but now he saw that she was indeed well-deserved.
I just don’t want to see your Jia family. I didn’t expect that I would say such a bad word about their girl’s reputation. If someone really said something disrespectful to relatives and friends, who would dare to marry their girl in the future?
Not to mention those big families, even the mistress of an ordinary official family has high requirements. It would be fine if there were minor flaws, but this kind of bad behavior towards relatives and friends, in this family-centered society,
But it's very repulsive.
Wang Xifeng must have been very angry because she had been humiliated, but this was the Lin family, and it was hard for her to get angry, and she didn't want to lose her last face by arguing with a slave. She snorted coldly and had someone drive away.
After returning to Jia's house and informing Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang about the matter, he was angered by Jia Mu again, which can be said to be a thankless example.
She returned to the courtyard having suppressed her anger. Before she could vent her anger, news came from the other side that the aunt was happy. Suddenly, she was so angry that she fainted from the anger.
When Ping'er saw this, he was startled and hurriedly asked someone to call the doctor: "Come here, grandma has fainted. Go and call the doctor quickly..."
When the maids and wives heard the commotion and came in to take a look, they hurriedly divided into two groups. One group went to inform the other masters and ask for the doctor, while the other group came to help Ping'er and helped him lie down on the couch.
After settling Wang Xifeng, Ping'er thought of Sister Qiao's arrival again. He was afraid that Sister Qiao would be frightened when she came on the way, so he hurriedly sent someone to send Sister Qiao to Mrs. Xing to take care of her first.
Wang Xifeng had never been close to Mrs. Xing, and she had never allowed Sister Qiao to stay with her step-wife. She was quite surprised that he was sent here so suddenly.
She asked with some confusion: "Why did you send Sister Qiao here suddenly, but what's wrong with your grandma?"
The wet nurse was also a loser. When Mrs. Xing asked, she told her everything.
After Mrs. Xing asked about the reason, although she was not happy with Wang Xifeng, Sister Qiao was still her granddaughter, so she kept her and sent someone to tell Jia She.
No matter what, Wang Xifeng is Jia Lian's legitimate wife, and there is a prince behind her to support her. If the trouble is too ugly, it will be difficult to explain.
After Jia She learned about this, he first scolded Jia Lian as a "jealous woman", and then asked someone to find Jia Lian and give him a good scolding.
It's true that he wanted grandchildren, and he didn't want his family to be cut off, but he also didn't want his daughter-in-law to die. If that were the case, what would Jia She become?
It was not that Jia Lian had no feelings for Wang Xifeng. Hearing that she had fainted, he was quite worried. After leaving Jia She's place, he went to see Wang Xifeng.
