Xu Wen looked at the many dead flowers and felt a headache coming on. Hearing Chun'er's hesitant voice, he shouted without turning his head.

"Are you crazy? I wasn't the one who took you home, why are you thanking me?"

"Also, call me Third Young Master, not Young Master. It sounds disgusting."

"Don't you have any manners? How did someone like you get into our Xu family?"

Chun'er just said that she came back from the estate.

No wonder they're from the village; if they were from the old house, they would have been kicked out long ago.

"Xiao Wu, get him away quickly."

"Okay." Xiao Wu replied. He was also annoyed by this nagging girl; she really drove him away.

He was afraid that the Third Young Master would become violent again, carry her away, and by the time Chun'er was born, she would have become a madwoman.

"Ahhh!" Looking at her disheveled appearance, Chun'er screamed in anger, making her look even uglier.

The maids at the door were covering their mouths and snickering, looking at her as if she were a joke.

"What are you laughing at? Get out of here, all of you!" Chun'er was used to running rampant on the estate and often lost her temper when things didn't go her way.

When she first entered the Xu family, she would put on a little act, but now that no one from the Xu family is around, she has become unrestrained.

However, she overestimated herself; this was not the manor where she could run rampant.

"What are you yelling about? A mere maid from the manor, how dare you shout at us like that? Who do you think you are?"

Although they were all servants of the Xu family, those in the old house felt that they were no worse than those in the manor.

If they spoke politely, it would be fine, but now that Chun'er is raising her voice at them, they naturally won't back down.

Moreover, Chun'er was all alone, and she was brought to tears in just a few words.

"You just wait, I'm going to find the second young master to stand up for me, you'll be sorry."

Chun'er wiped away her tears as she walked toward Xu Mao's room.

As soon as she left, the remaining maids became uneasy. "What should we do? What if the second young master really questions us?"

"If they really punish us, we'll take it; she can't escape it," someone said.

The Xu family has always been fair in its rewards and punishments, and would not arbitrarily condone a servant who makes a mistake.

"But, judging from what she said, it seems like her relationship with the second young master is unusual." Everyone fell silent after these words were spoken.

Yes, just now when they were bickering, Chun'er kept talking about how favored she was by the second young master.

The maids were exchanging bewildered glances when a dignified voice suddenly came from behind them, "Whose relationship is unusual?"

When everyone turned around, they saw Old Madam Xu standing behind them, being supported by her maid.

Several maids quickly knelt down and bowed, "Greetings, Madam."

Grandma Xu glanced at them and asked, "Who were you talking about the relationship between?"

A head maid quickly recounted what had just happened, and then noticed that Old Madam Xu's expression changed.

The maid felt a pang of unease and hurriedly lowered her head.

"I don't need to say what mistakes you've made. Go find the steward and receive your punishment." Old Mrs. Xu said this and walked away.

After the group left, the maids looked up and saw that they had gone towards Xu Mao's room.

Chun'er did want to go to Xu Mao to complain, but before she even went in, she heard people talking inside.

She decided to tiptoe and eavesdrop by the window.

It was Liu Fang talking to Xu Mao. What else could she be talking about but inquiring about Xu Mao and Chun'er?

Liu Fang even subtly implied that a woman like Chun'er was not suitable for Xu Mao, nor for their Xu family.

She also subtly told Xu Mao that the Xu family would not easily let a girl like that into their home.

Xu Mao wasn't stupid; of course he understood, but he also had his own thoughts.

"Mother, I want to marry Chun'er."

This was the last thing Liu Fang wanted to hear: "Mao'er, tell your mother the truth, do you truly love Chun'er?"

She always felt that her son didn't interact with many women, so Chun'er kept getting closer to him, which made him mistakenly think that she liked her.

"Mother~" Xu Mao's face showed some embarrassment. Even though the person in front of him was his mother, he was still a little shy when talking about these topics.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a commotion coming from outside.

The mother and son looked up and saw Old Mrs. Xu come in. The old woman serving her behind her was carrying someone, and that person looked like Chun'er.

"Mother."ъiqgetv.net

"grandmother."

Liu Fang stood up, staring in astonishment at Chun'er, whose hair was disheveled and looked like a madwoman.

When Chun'er heard Xu Mao say he wanted to marry her, she was so happy she was practically ecstatic. She grinned and chuckled to herself, but before she knew it, someone grabbed her collar from behind.

I was about to turn around and yell at someone, but when I turned around, I saw an old face.

Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Chun'er recognized her at a glance; it was Grandma Xu.

Time had aged her considerably, but it had also made her more dignified. Just one glance from her cloudy eyes left Chun'er speechless for a long time.

She was pulled in by a strong old woman and couldn't resist.

As soon as she entered, the old woman threw her to the ground with such force that Chun'er felt her bones cracking.

The loud bang made Xu Mao, who was on the bed, sit up involuntarily, startled. "Chun'er."

Chun'er lay on the ground, trying to sound pitiful, when she caught a glimpse of a dark red skirt embroidered with gold thread flashing by.

When I looked up again, I saw Grandma Xu sitting upright above me, her old face expressionless, but her eyes seemed to be able to see her all she wanted.

"You old hag," Chun'er cursed silently in her heart, then pretended to be dead and lay motionless on the ground.

"Yes." Wu Ma was the one who had just brought Chun'er in. She stepped forward and loudly recounted what Chun'er had done.

From the moment she went to watch Xu Wen practice martial arts, including her argument with the maids, to the moment she eavesdropped by the window.

Before Wu Ma could finish speaking, the expressions on the faces of the people in the room would change.

Chun'er was incredulous and flustered. These things had just happened, how could they know so much about them, even repeating her words word for word?

Liu Fang was furious; she knew this woman was no good.

She'd only been in the manor for a short time, and this girl had already set her sights on Xu Wen.

Xu Mao seemed a little confused, because this Chun'er didn't seem to be the same person he knew.

He stood there blankly for a long time without saying a word, as if he was processing the matter.

Chun'er, who had been lying down, suddenly knelt down. She knew that Old Madam Xu was serious.

"Madam, please understand. Madam, please understand. This servant did not know that the man was the Third Young Master. I just went over to take a look because I found it interesting."

"Also, those maids were the ones who made fun of me first, and I couldn't stand it, so I talked back."

"When I arrived at the door just now, I heard the First Madam's voice and guessed that it was the First Madam and the Second Young Master talking, so I waited at the door and did not dare to come in and disturb them."

Her clumsy and far-fetched explanation sounded like utter nonsense to Grandma Xu and Liu Fang.

However, Xu Mao was somewhat swayed by this, because in his mind, Chun'er had always been an understanding and gentle person.

Chun'er didn't expect the two women in the room to believe her, as long as Xu Mao believed her seven or eight parts, that would be enough.

Seeing that Xu Mao was wavering, she pressed on.

"Please, Madam, don't throw me out. I'm willing to accept any punishment to appease you."
