Yuan Wanru transmigrated into a book and, by a twist of fate, married the male lead, Lu Jiangnian. Before their marriage, he coldly and heartlessly declared, “I will marry you, but I will never a...
Chapter 97: How good is Miss Liang in serving others?
Liang Yusong sat quietly beside Old Madam Lu, thinking that Old Madam Lu would be able to teach Yuan Wanru a lesson in one fell swoop.
It turned out to be just thunder with little rain, and it was actually appeased by a pair of gold bracelets.
She is so short-sighted. She is indeed the daughter of a businessman and has a short-sighted vision.
Because of Madam Lu, Liang Yusong, an outsider, also sat at the main table.
Also at this table were Lu Song and his wife, Lu Bai and his wife, Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru, and Lu Jiangxun from the second house.
Coincidentally, Liang Yusong was sitting opposite Yuan Wanru.
When she saw Lu Jiangnian picking up food for Yuan Wanru from time to time, she sneered in her heart, what a loving couple they are!
I just don't know if Lu Jiangnian can still be so firm and choose Yuan Wanru when the pressure of filial piety comes.
Madam Cao and a group of maids stood behind the old lady, serving her meals.
She was about to serve the old lady a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, but Liang Yusong stood up and said, "Mammy, let me do it."
Madam Cao refused to let her go: "Young lady is a distinguished guest, how can you do such heavy work? Please sit down quickly, the old lady has servants waiting to serve you."
The old lady was talking to Lu Song and Lu Bai. When she heard the noise, she turned around and held Liang Yusong's hand. "Good child, you can't do that. Just eat your food. Madam Cao and the others are here to serve you."
"Isn't it unfair to ask you to do these things?"
Liang Yusong smiled innocently, with sincere admiration in her eyes: "The old lady treats me like her own granddaughter, and I have long regarded you as my own grandmother."
"When my grandmother was alive, I often served her meals, so I was used to it."
"Serving the elders is the younger generation's filial piety. How can it be called a grievance?"
Madam Lu smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits: "Great, great, it is a blessing for me to have a granddaughter as filial as you."
She really likes Liang Yusong.
It’s a pity that Lu Jiangnian is already married. It would be great if he could marry Liang Yusong.
But Lu Jiangxun already has a lover, so she always has to take her grandson's feelings into consideration.
The Deyang Marquis' Mansion is the Crown Princess's maiden home. If Lu Jiangxiun can become the Crown Prince's brother-in-law, he will surely have a successful career in the future.
In the final analysis, it was all because of Yuanshi who insisted on interfering and ruined this good marriage.
However, Old Madam Lu forgot that if Zhou Fang had not played a trick, how could Yuan Wanru have fallen into the water, and she would not have married Lu Jiangnian for this reason.
If she wanted to blame someone, she should blame Zhou Fang.
Liang Yusong stood up, took the bowl of soup from Madam Cao, and handed it to Old Madam Lu with both hands. Lu Yun and several other girls were sitting together, watching this scene with mixed feelings.
Lu Rong said sarcastically, "Second sister, look at how clever they are. In comparison, all of us granddaughters have become stupid."
Lu Yun glanced at her and said, "Don't be sarcastic. If you are jealous, then just follow her example and serve soup. No one will stop you."
Lu Miao's eyes darkened for a moment, and she felt that Liang Yusong tonight was not the same as the person she remembered.
She also understood the scene in front of the flower hall. Her elder brother was not the type to criticize others without reason. When she thought about how Liang Yusong addressed her elder brother, she was afraid that Liang Yusong had ulterior motives towards her elder brother.
It’s better to have less contact with this person in the future.
In fact, the angriest people are the Cao Lanxin sisters.
After all, their biggest support in the capital was Madam Lu, and they were the ones who should have been the most flattered and courteous. But now they were outshined by Liang Yusong, an outsider.
After Liang Yusong sat down, he sighed, "I've always heard that a son wants to take care of his parents but they are no longer around. I didn't understand the deep meaning of it before, but after my grandmother passed away, I felt it deeply."
She casually said, "The Crown Prince's wife has lived in the mansion for many years. She must be used to serving the old lady."
"Today I was just moved by the scene, so I took the lead. Please don't be offended."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her dissatisfaction was aroused again.
"Forget it. I just hope she will serve me and not piss me off to death."
Zhou Fang covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss Liang is really wrong. Wanru has lived in the mansion for many years, but she has never served the old lady a bowl of soup. You can tell whether she is filial or not at a glance."
Wang Min frowned. What's wrong with Liang Yusong? It seems like she is targeting Wanru?
Just as she was about to speak, Yuan Wanru suddenly asked, "I wonder how Miss Liang's service skills compare to those of Madam Cao and others?"
Liang Yusong's face changed drastically. Yuan Wanru actually compared her with these servants?
Madam Lu scolded, "What nonsense! Yu Shuang is a noble lady from the Duke of Wei's mansion. How can you compare her with Madam Cao?"
Lu Jiangnian was at ease, sipping from his wine glass with a smile in his eyes, quietly watching his wife perform.
"Please don't accuse me, old lady. I am just raising a question."
"Madame Cao has served you for many years, so she is naturally the most aware of your needs. You don't even need to tell her what you want to do."
"It is often said in books that there is a sequence in learning and a specialization in skills."
"Madame Cao, Qingju and the others are here to serve the old lady. Why should we try to take their jobs? We might even scald the old lady by feeding her soup. It's really unwise."
"Speaking of this, I have something to say to Miss Liang."
"'A person's talent is built by specialization and destroyed by misunderstanding'. You should study your medical skills carefully. Maybe you can become a famous female doctor and win honor for us women."
"As for the effort of serving others, don't take it too seriously. If you don't distinguish between the primary and the secondary, you will suffer."
Whenever Mrs. Lu heard her talking about books or the words of sages, she got a headache.
"After all, it's just that you are not filial. You make so many excuses."
"Da Lang, look at you, you are so sharp-tongued, you are going to piss me off to death!"
Lu Song looked at Yuan Wanru in surprise. He was not angry because of what Old Madam Lu said. He had never seen Yuan Wanru so eloquent.
No wonder my mother and my siblings all said that she was eloquent, it turned out to be true.
Yuan Wanru said aggrievedly: "Everyone knows that the old lady doesn't like me."
"I stay far away from you, which is the greatest filial piety to you. If I am in front of you all day, you will be unhappy every day, which is a great lack of filial piety."
Lu Jiangnian nodded: "Indeed, out of sight, out of mind. Madam is right."
"Grandma, if you feel that Madam Cao is not serving you well, I will select another group of people to serve you. A master is a master. Why should you lower your status and compete with the maids for work?"
Madam Cao was so frightened that her face changed.
What does this matter have to do with her? It's simply an unprovoked disaster.
At this moment, she also blamed Liang Yusong in her heart. If Miss Liang hadn't insisted on taking her job, how could these things have happened?
The rest of the people were surprised at Lu Jiangnian's indifference and disgust towards Liang Yusong.
His words and actions all implied that Liang Yusong had no self-respect. It was rare to see him treat a girl so harshly.
Madam Lu was so angry that she couldn't breathe. She wanted to stand up, but fainted halfway.
Liang Yusong was the first to react. She immediately stood up and supported Madam Lu who was about to fall.
"What's wrong with you, old lady?"
Zhou Fang immediately pointed at Lu Jiangnian and his wife: "You have gone too far. If the old lady gets angry and does something bad, I will not forgive you!"
