Chapter 254 Master and Servant Reconciliation
In her past life, Min Yuexi was at the forefront of those targeting and seeking revenge against her, with Wu Shi, Min Hui, Min Changzhong, and others close behind. Min Rong, however, remained hidden in the rear, secretly instigating the conflict.
In this life, without the confrontation between Min Yuexi, Wu Shi, and Min Hui, Min Rong became the sharp knife facing Min Qiao Shi directly.
Ultimately, it all comes down to insufficient power and influence! A lack of support!
As the matriarch of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion, she could not fundamentally escape the influence of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion, nor could she exert any real control over Min Rong.
Well, let's not talk about how filial piety is more important than anything else.
Emperor Xiaozhao himself was not a filial person, so don't expect him to value this much.
Otherwise, back when Lady Yongning forced the Marquis of Yongning to send Lady Yu back to her hometown, Lady Yu had already criticized the Marquis and his wife for being unfilial. And what was the result? She was still sent away.
Therefore, Wei Jia is not wrong!
She's the one who's wrong!
She was too naive!
She was being too presumptuous!
She failed to see reality clearly, and she failed to see people's true nature!
It was because she had completely given up that Wei Jia took on the responsibility of protecting her and overstepped her bounds!
Ultimately, it was all a result of her inaction!
In her past life, she lived a life that was too exhausting. Reborn, she lives too carefree, never restraining those around her!
In her past life, she was too particular about rules. In this life, however, she cares too little about rules!
Therefore, the fact that Wei Jia acted on her own initiative is ultimately her problem!
After dismissing Qiao Jingyao, Madam Min Qiao was alone and thought a lot.
Only after she finally understood everything did she call Ayi over and ask her to bring Weijia to her.
Upon hearing this, Ayi became excited. "Has the Grand Madam forgiven Sister Weijia?" Ayi asked, her eyes sparkling.
Min Qiao glanced at Ayi subconsciously, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.
Shouldn't we carry out her orders immediately upon receiving them?
Why aren't you taking any action? Instead, you're so brazenly questioning her.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she'd woken up, Madam Min suddenly realized that all the maids around her seemed to have serious problems!
Thinking of all this, Madam Min's face turned cold. "Why aren't you going yet?"
"Yes! I'll go right away!" Ayi didn't know why Min Qiao was suddenly unhappy, so she shrank her neck and quickly left the room.
But her heart was still burning with passion.
The Grand Madam sent her to find Sister Weijia! The Grand Madam wants to see Sister Weijia! The Grand Madam must have forgiven Sister Weijia! ...
As soon as Ayi stepped out, she ran into Ashuang, who was returning from the Zhou family's place.
"The Grand Madam wants to see Sister Weijia, so she asked me to go find her!" Ayi raised her chin at Ashuang with a hint of smugness.
It's as if it's saying, "See? You think you can take Wei Jia's place? You're dumbfounded now, aren't you?"
Sister Weijia is coming back soon! Your good days are over!
Ah Shuang smiled faintly and instructed, "Then hurry up and go call someone, don't keep the Grand Madam waiting."
She thought she and Ayi simply had different views. But now she realized that Ayi was hostile towards her.
Seeing Ah Shuang's indifferent expression, Ah Yi curled her lip in disdain and turned to call someone.
Ah Shuang bit her lip, having already made her own decision.
Since Madam Min ordered Wei Jia to be expelled, Wei Jia has moved to a secluded servants' quarters in the new house.
There was no way around it; she was determined to stay by Min Qiao's side and never leave.
Therefore, even though Min Qiaoshi moved in, she had no intention of moving out.
It's very convenient for Ayi to find someone right now.
However, upon seeing Ayi come to find her in person, Weijia frowned. "Why did you come in person? What are those little maids who deliver messages for?"
"You are the Dowager's personal maid, and your duty is to serve her well. Now that you've left, who will serve her? Before you left, did you arrange for someone to take your place?"
Ayi shrank her neck guiltily, then smiled and explained, "I was just too happy! I wanted to tell Sister Weijia the good news as soon as possible, so I came here in person."
Seeing that Weijia wanted to say something more, Ayi quickly urged, "Oh dear, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time. Sister Weijia, let's hurry to the main courtyard. The Grand Madam is waiting for you."
Wei Jia was also afraid that Min Qiaoshi would wait too long, so she immediately stopped scolding Ayi, quickly tidied herself up, and followed Ayi to the main courtyard.
"This servant is not well, but pays respects to the Madam."
Upon arriving before Madam Min Qiao, Wei Jia respectfully knelt and kowtowed, performing a grand ceremony for her.
Min Qiaoshi did not wake them up, but waved to Ayi and the others, "You all go out, I want to speak with Weijia alone."
"Yes." Ah Shuang replied and quickly went out.
Ayi glanced at Weijia, who was still kneeling on the ground, and felt a little worried. Hesitating for a moment, she was pulled back by Ashuang.
Ayi then followed Ashuang out the door with a displeased expression.
"what you do?"
Once outside, Ayi lowered her voice and questioned Ashuang.
Ah Shuang frowned. "Didn't you hear the Grand Madam call us out?"
“I didn’t say I couldn’t come out,” Ayi retorted.
She just wanted to say a few good words for Weijia before she came out.
Before the old lady could even say anything, she jumped out and meddled in other people's business.
Ayi glared at A Shuang unhappily. "You're so nosy! When Aqi worked with me before, she wasn't this disrespectful. After all, I'm the head maid of the Grand Madam! You're just assisting me! What? You can't get past Sister Weijia, so you want to put me in a superior position?"
A Shuang suppressed her anger and did not argue with A Yi.
This is outside the Grand Madam's house. If she and Ayi were to start arguing, she might get so angry that she would raise her voice and let the Grand Madam inside hear.
This is not good for anyone.
Ignoring Ayi, he walked straight to the side and silently picked up the storybook.
Instead of arguing with Ayi, she'd rather read more storybooks, find interesting tales, and tell them to the old lady to pass the time.
The people inside the house were naturally unaware of the lawsuit happening outside.
At this moment, only Min Qiaoshi and Wei Jia remained in the room.
Wei Jia remained kneeling on the ground.
"I'm giving you one last chance. If you want to leave, you can go now. Your indenture, your money, your shop, Ayi and the others—anything you want to take with you, I can let you take."
Min Qiao looked down at Wei Jia with a cold and serious expression and tone.
Wei Jia raised her head and looked at Min Qiao Shi with the same seriousness and earnestness, "I won't leave! All I want to do in this life is stay by the side of the Grand Madam, protect the Grand Madam, and stay by her side."
"Why?" Min Qiao finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind.
Why are you so determined to stay by my side? Why are you going to such lengths for me?
"Whether it's scheming for the position of Crown Prince or plotting to gain Su Rongrong's gratitude, isn't it all just to find someone for me to rely on?"
"Even what happened at the Yongning Marquis's residence yesterday was part of your plan, wasn't it?"
"You made Yuanyao show weakness and be humiliated in public, made Su Rongrong turn back to support me, and made me watch the Seventh Princess and the Third Prince stand up for me, just to make me realize reality and see the importance of power."
"And this new house, you made Yang Zhong my housekeeper and Qiao Jingyao my bodyguard, just to give me a sense of security."
"Oh no, there must be another reason why you asked Jingyao to be my bodyguard, right?"
"You want to tell me you won't harm me. Because if you have any ill intentions towards me, I can have Jing Yao easily take your life."
"In the end, you're still trying to put my mind at ease."
