On the first day, the old lady drank white porridge and ate vegetables.
The next day, we had white porridge and pickles.
On the third day, only white porridge was left.
On the fourth day, the porridge was obviously much clearer, with only water left.
Seven days later, when the old lady was having lunch, she saw that even her favorite pastries were gone. She could no longer bear it and overturned all the dishes on the table.
"What do you mean? I'm the old lady of this mansion after all! How dare you feed me porridge and pickles every day? Is that right?"
The nanny beside her immediately knelt down, not daring to breathe.
Then, seeing that the old lady's anger had almost subsided, he spoke again, "Old lady, I asked a few days ago, and the cooks said that this was Madam Xie's order, and they couldn't disobey it."
Hearing this, the old lady became even angrier.
What's wrong with this eldest daughter-in-law?
In order to avoid having to eat porridge and pickles every day, the old lady finally decided to ask the nanny to invite Xie Xueqing over.
At this time, Xie Xueqing was coaxing her daughter to sleep after spending time with her these days.
She liked her daughter more and more.
Not only is he extremely well-behaved and sensible, he also doesn't cry for no reason. He usually only cries when he needs to solve a physiological problem.
Chunyu was very happy when he saw how lovingly his wife treated the young lady.
The arrival of the nanny beside the old lady broke the moment of tranquility.
"Madam, the old lady wants to invite you over for dinner."
When Xie Qingxue heard the invitation, she sneered in her heart. Is she finally unable to sit still?
This is just the beginning. I, a good mother-in-law, am no longer able to do so. How will the other party survive the rest of the days?
Yan Jin in her arms had no idea about her mother's arrangements, but she subconsciously felt that the old lady had bad intentions.
[Why didn't you invite your mother to dinner before? Now you're suddenly doing it. It's like a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken. You have no good intentions!]
[However, hearing the old lady's tone, which is so humble and respectful, could it be that my mother did something?]
Xie Xueqing heard her daughter's thoughts and couldn't help but kiss her forehead.
As expected of my own little kid, he is really smart.
However, after these past few days of torture, it’s time to go check on the old lady.
"Okay, I'll take Jin'er there right away. Speaking of which, mother hasn't even had a good look at my Jin'er yet!"
Seeing Xie Xueqing agree immediately, the nanny felt relieved.
Half an hour later.
Xie Xueqing carried Yan Jin to the old lady's residence.
As soon as I entered, I saw the old lady drinking white porridge. The table was empty and looked a bit desolate.
When the old lady saw her coming, she quickly said, "Xueqing is here. Quick, Nanny Song, go and bring a bowl of porridge to the lady."
Xie Xueqing thanked him softly and waited quietly for the porridge.
Soon, a bowl of white porridge was served.
The old lady watched Xie Xueqing calmly drink a mouthful of porridge and said softly, "Today, this porridge is really well cooked. After drinking it, I feel much thinner and more relaxed."
When Yan Jin heard these words, he suddenly wanted to laugh.
[No wonder she suddenly invited her mother to dinner. It turns out she only drinks porridge every day!]
[Mother Taiku La Taiku La, when dealing with people like this, they should be made to suffer.]
Xie Xueqing didn't say anything and drank a bowl of white porridge calmly.
Seeing that she had no intention of expressing anything, the old lady suddenly became anxious.
What's wrong with this eldest daughter-in-law?
He understood it immediately before, but now that I have said so much, he is still so indifferent!
She couldn't just ask for something delicious to eat, as that would be beneath her dignity.
But seeing Xie Xueqing remaining silent, the old lady had no choice but to continue to make her statement.
"Xueqing, I just drank too much porridge and I feel like I have no strength. What do you think we should do?"
Seeing that things had come to this, Xie Xueqing finally spoke, "I'm so sorry, mother. I've wronged you during this period. When everything returns to normal tomorrow, even if your daughter-in-law treats herself badly, she won't treat you badly!"
Yan Jin in her arms couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard what her mother said.
【You are always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted! 】
"Mother, have you ever thought that if there's a spy in one herbal medicine shop, doesn't that mean there aren't any spies in other shops?"
As the saying goes, strike the snake at its most vulnerable part. How can just forcing the old man to eat plain porridge be considered torture?
[Oh, my mother, how can you be so kind! ]
Listening to Yan Jin's mumbling, Xie Xueqing was slightly stunned.
Then he understood in his heart, yes, letting the old lady eat white porridge for a few days was just torture for a few days. If the root cause was cut off, the other party would suffer even more.
Besides, that was the shop I got as my dowry, why should I spend money on others!
Thinking of this, Xie Xueqing continued to speak.
"Mom, I've been thinking recently that if there's a traitor in this herbal medicine shop, there must be others as well. I plan to close all these shops tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately panicked.
She originally wanted to say a few words, but that was Xie Xueqing's dowry, so she couldn't interfere.
He could only speak tactfully, "Xueqing! Why don't we keep a few people in this shop? After all, this huge mansion also needs to eat."
Xie Xueqing smiled softly, "It's okay, we still have a few shops in the Marquis' Mansion to support us!"
After hearing her say this, the old lady suddenly didn't know what to do.
Then, Xie Xueqing spoke again, "It's just that I'll have to inconvenience my mother for a while."
"good……"
The old lady was trying to hold on, but her expression was extremely ugly.
Yan Jin, who was listening to the story with great interest, naturally noticed the old lady's unwilling tone and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
[This old bastard must have planted spies in several shops. Luckily her mother was smart! She shut them all down! Let's see where she'll get the money to spend on that jerk!]
[As expected of a mother, she's really clever! ]
[Oh my, every time I think of my mother, she always makes it come true. Could it be that she and my mother are in tune with each other?]
Hearing her daughter's praise, the smile on Xie Xueqing's lips became even brighter.
After a brief chat, the old lady said she was tired and Xie Xueqing prepared to leave.
After she left completely, the old lady immediately threw the dishes and chopsticks in front of her to the ground, and her face turned pale with anger.
In order to make Xie Xueqing devotedly work for him and make money, and to think that he could control her, he deliberately let her manage all his property in exchange for her trust.
Now, even if she wanted to intervene, she couldn't.
Now that the five herbal medicine shops have closed down, what should she do with the money she will give to her son?
Thinking of this, the old lady became even angrier!
What’s going on with Xie Xueqing recently? Why is he becoming more and more disobedient?
No, if this continues, she will probably be out of luck one day. She needs to find someone to teach her a lesson!
