Mother Chen fell to her knees and kowtowed repeatedly begging for mercy.
The lady is most afraid of the old man. If she knew that she was punished by the old man because of her, the lady would definitely not let her go.
She has been following the Madam for more than twenty years, and she knows Madam's methods very well. When the time comes, she will definitely make her wish for life or death impossible.
Xu Wanyan looked at Mother Chen who kept kowtowing, and Zhao Yaru was still afraid of her grandfather as in her previous life.
My grandfather had three daughters-in-law, and the one he disliked the most was Zhao Yaru, because not only did Zhao Yaru have an affair with Xu Maocai after he got married, she also gave birth to Xu Wanqing.
In addition, the three brothers of the Xu family were originally harmonious, but Zhao Yaru knew that Xu Maocai did not have much ability, so she forced Xu Maocai to occupy the entire Tai Shi Mansion.
The other two families, with the mentality of "if you can't afford to offend, you can afford to avoid them", all went to other places to serve as officials.
Although Old Master Xu had always lived with Xu Maocai, he couldn't help but miss his other grandchildren, and would leave the capital from time to time to stay with his other sons for a while.
Now that the New Year is coming to an end, he should be coming back.
Xu Wanyan sat in front of Mother Chen and asked word by word, "Mother Chen, do you know what mothers care about most?"
"Madam, Madam..."
Mother Chen's hair was messy because of kowtow, and she looked like a lunatic.
"Mother cares most about face. You are her servant, so you should know this. If you are arrogant in Feiyun Garden and don't take me, your master, seriously, then the entire Xu family will follow suit and spread the news. Who do you think will be unlucky?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Oh, so you knew. But looking at you, I'm afraid it was really your mother who asked you to do this."
"No, no, Madam, no, Madam, you have always treated the Second Miss like your own daughter. It was this old servant who said the wrong thing."
"In that case, slap yourself in the face."
"Old slave..."
"Hurry up!" Xu Wanyan shouted.
Seeing this, Mother Chen quickly slapped herself in the face left and right.
Xichun breathed a sigh of relief calmly, fortunately she was not asked to do anything.
Xu Wanyan narrowed her eyes. It seemed that Xichun was even more cunning than Mother Chen.
When Mother Chen's cheeks were puffed up, Xu Wanyan said lightly, "Mother Chen hit herself too hard, I just let you slap her casually."
Mother Chen almost vomited blood. If she hadn't forced herself and accused her of so many crimes, would she have slapped her so hard?
Mother Chen's frustrated look made Xu Wanyan's eyebrows curved, "Qiao Yun, go get some medicine for Mother Chen later, her face is swollen."
"Yes, I will save you some trouble."
"Also, let Mother Chen live in the west room. She can't face people these days, so please bring her some food every day."
"Second Miss, you can't..."
Mother Chen didn't expect that the second young lady would put her under house arrest.
Madam said that she must report the situation of Feiyun Garden every day. She was also going to tell Madam about what happened today. So...
"What can't I do? Mother Chen, I'm thinking about you. Think about it, you just arrived at Feiyun Garden and you were rumored to be bullying your master on your first day. Is that good for you and your mother?"
Mother Chen lowered her head. She was going to go out and tell everyone about this. The second young lady was not as kind as she seemed.
"When the time comes and Grandfather knows, you say..."
"This old slave will follow Second Young Lady's instructions."
For the lady, if she went out, she would let her know what kind of person the second young lady was, but what about herself? Mother Chen felt that she could not guarantee whether the lady would sell her out because of the old man.
"That's right. Take good care of your injuries. That's the most important thing. I won't treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, Second Miss. I will keep it in mind."
"Qiao Yun, take her to get some medicine!"
"yes!"
Qiao Yun was filled with joy. Today the young lady really acted like a master.
Oh, no, the lady is the master.
Xichun looked at the second young lady in front of her with a smile on her face, and felt a little cold in her heart.
If she could handle someone like Chen's mother, what about me? It was scary just thinking about it.
Seeing Xichun's vague eyes, Xu Wanyan raised the corner of her mouth slightly. After all, she had helped Qiaoyun during this period of time. She felt a little reluctant to punish her.
"Xichun, what did mother tell you?"
Xu Wanyan got straight to the point.
Xichun's face changed. The second lady knew?
"Did you tell her everything I did?"
Hearing this, Xichun knelt down immediately.
"Second Miss, this maidservant..."
"I'm not going to punish you, don't be afraid."
Xichun raised her head and looked at Xu Wanyan with a confused expression.
"Do you know why Qiao Yun often came to play with you some time ago?"
Xichun shook her head. Suddenly, she thought of something and her eyes widened in horror.
Xu Wanyan saw her expression and knew that she had guessed it. She was quite smart.
"Next, you should know what to do, right?"
"Maid, I don't know. Please tell me clearly, Miss."
"It's not difficult. Just follow your mother's instructions and report to her normally. However, as for the content of the report..."
Xichun nodded, "I understand."
Xu Wanyan glanced at her and said calmly, "Get up. From now on, you will serve in the room like Qiao Yun. If you do well, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, Second Miss."
"But let me be frank. If I knew what you had done behind my back, not only would I not forgive you, but Mother and Sister would not forgive you either."
