Chapter 272 Will You Feel Wronged?
"Besides, your mother is not good to you at all..."
Madam Sun is like Zhu Yingyan's biological mother, not like her sister-in-law's biological mother at all.
When Xiao Miluo heard that Nanny Li was cheating Madam Sun of her money, she just wanted to applaud.
Seeing that Zhu Xuntao seemed to be planning to intervene, Xiao Miluo quickly advised her.
"Your mother is good to Zhu Yingyan and Li Ma Ma, a servant, but not to you."
"Now Li Ma Ma has betrayed her and coveted her money. It's all her own fault."
"Sister-in-law, you can't be that bad person."
"Even if you help her, she will not only not thank you, but also won't believe you. She accuses you of provoking her relationship with that old servant."
Xiao Mi Luo became more and more angry as she spoke, because she felt that things would definitely develop like this.
Zhu Xuntao gave Xiao Mi Luo a thumbs up, indicating that Xiao Mi Luo was right.
Between her and Li Ma Ma, her biological mother would definitely believe Li Ma Ma and doubt herself.
Zhu Xuntao was very sure about this point.
"Sister-in-law, since you know everything, why do you still care about her life or death?"
Xiao Miluo was not happy.
If it weren't for the fact that people in Yongjing Marquis's Mansion would not kill others casually, Xiao Miluo would think that people like Madam Sun didn't deserve to live.
What the hell!
Zhu Xuntao sighed and rubbed Xiao Miluo's head:
"We can't forget the bottom line and nature that we should uphold because of hatred."
"She gave birth to me, and she gave me my life. What's more, I promised my grandfather..."
"Unless she committed an unforgivable crime and killed someone."
"Otherwise, I will not only protect her life, but also give her a stable old age."
"Why did Mr. Zhu arrange this? Isn't he making things difficult for you, my sister-in-law?"
Xiao Miluo was aggrieved again. She thought Mr. Zhu was the only one in the Zhu family who was kind and sincere to Zhu Xuntao.
But the result made her so disappointed.
"Hmm..."
Zhu Xuntao's voice was drawn out because she was thinking about how to explain to Xiao Miluo,
"If I have to give an explanation for grandfather's arrangement, it's that the son pays the father's debts, and the grandson pays the grandfather's debts."
"W-what do you mean?"
Xiao Miluo was dumbfounded. She had heard of the son paying the father's debts, but where did the grandson pay the grandfather's debts come from?
Zhu Xuntao continued to explain:
"My grandfather once said that my mother was a simple-minded person."
"If she hadn't married my father, with my grandfather's vision and means, she would have married a good husband and had a happy marriage."
"Unfortunately, she met my father."
"My father, this bad boy, was born to me by my grandfather. If a son is not well taught, it is the fault of the father."
"So, my father is not good to my mother. What my father owes my mother, I have to pay it back for him."
"My grandfather didn't teach my father well, and he harmed my mother. He also owes my mother. After he dies, it can only be repaid by me, his granddaughter..."
When Zhu Xuntao said this before he died, the ten-year-old Zhu Xuntao was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
It was also the first time that she realized that the account could be settled in this way...
How should I put it? After all, it was the last wish of Master Zhu.
Zhu Xuntao had no feelings for others,
but had deep feelings for Master Zhu. In order to let Master Zhu pass away in peace, Zhu Xuntao agreed.
She was willing to do what she was willing to agree to.
"Sister-in-law, don't you feel wronged?"
If it were her, she would feel so wronged.
Madam Sun treated her sister-in-law badly, but Master Zhu insisted that her sister-in-law take care of her in her old age.
Is there any such reason in the world?
"I have been wronged."
Zhu Xuntao nodded:
"When my grandfather just passed away, I was so sad. The person he finally arranged was not me, but my mother. I was so wronged."
"But slowly, I figured it out."
"Grandfather felt that he made the best arrangement for me. With the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion protecting me, I have no worries for the rest of my life."
"Besides, he asked me to take care of my mother, just to keep my mother safe, not to give her a good life."
As long as her biological mother was alive, had food, drink, clothes, and shelter, she would have completed her grandfather's entrustment.
Grandfather loved her so much, how could he really bear to embarrass her and make her sad.
Xiao Miluo finally understood that the last words of Zhu Laos had this explanation:
"Sister-in-law, are you going to take care of this matter of Li Madam?"
Since it was only necessary to ensure that Madam Sun's life was safe, whether Madam Sun's dowry was taken away by Li Madam, and how much was taken away,
sister-in-law would not be considered to have violated the promise of Zhu Laos.
"I have to remind her, but it's her business whether she believes it or not."
The dowry belonged to her biological mother, and it was what she wanted to leave for Zhu Yingyan.
Therefore, this money was the responsibility of her biological mother and Zhu Yingyan, and it had nothing to do with her.
Xiao Miluo wrinkled her nose: "What if she scolds you?"
Zhu Xuntao looked at Xiao Miluo with amusement: "Am I stupid?"
"Do I have to go and tell her in person about this kind of thing? Don't you think she scolds me enough?"
"There are so many living people in the world, I can just bribe a servant in the Zhu Mansion to whisper a few words in her ear and that's it."
"I won't go!"
Contrary to the general situation where people only care about the result but not the process,
the relationship between Zhu Xuntao and Madam Sun is the same, where they only care about the process but not the result.
Just as Zhu Xuntao guessed, whether she went to Madam Sun in person to tell her,
Or she asked someone else to remind Madam Sun, who had no doubts about Nanny Li.
Seeing her biological mother's reaction, Zhu Xuntao shook her head and sighed.
If her biological mother really swore to protect Nanny Li, then she felt that her biological mother's trust in Nanny Li made some sense.
Madam Sun was not bad to Nanny Li, but she was not the best either.
So where did her biological mother get the confidence to trust Nanny Li so much?
Nanny Li was a servant who tried hard to survive.
After she made up her mind to return to her parents' home, Nanny Li remained calm in front of Madam Sun and served Madam Sun as before.
On the other hand, Nanny Li secretly set her sights on Zhu Yingyan.
She wanted to see what Zhu Yingyan could do with such a large amount of grain.
This situation determined how long she would stay in the Zhu Mansion.
Butler Wang was concerned about the grain sales, and of course Zhu Dingxing was concerned too.
The money he invested in the later stage was no less than that of Zhu Yingyan.
After investing so much, Zhu Dingxing definitely wanted a return. After so
much hardship, last year, the Zhu family didn't sell a single grain.
Now that spring has arrived and spring plowing is about to begin, Zhu Dingxing feels that their time is coming:
"Yan'er, when do you think we should open our shop?"
Zhu Yingyan: "..."
