Chapter 28 It’s better to stop in moderation
Hearing this mocking laugh, Huo Siyuan's face immediately darkened.
He was already feeling suffocated by the criticism and secretly resented Liang Weiyuan for being so ungrateful time and time again.
At this moment, a handle was handed to him, and he immediately found the signs of an explosion. He slammed the table and scolded angrily.
"How dare you! Mother is still talking, why are you laughing, you lowly slave?"
"You are so arrogant and ignorant of the rules, offending the master. Is this what your master taught you?"
He scolded so quickly that Yu, who was standing beside him, had no time to stop him. She pinched her thigh in panic.
What a stubborn son!
Liang Weiyuan looked at Huo Siyuan's aggressive face, with a frost between her brows and a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
She just raised her hand slightly, signaling the angry Zhu Shu to retreat behind her.
"Second Young Master, you may not know that my maid, Zhushu, has been by my side since she was little, and she follows the rules of food, clothing, and other expenses in the General's Mansion very well."
"There are already a lot of rewards like silk and brocade in their house."
Liang Weiyuan said this with a smile on her face, her eyes clear and playful.
"So, when I heard Mother say that Shu brocade was valuable, I was probably surprised and made a mistake in my words, but I truly had no intention of offending Mother or the Master."
As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Her maids all use silk and satin?
So what about this set of dresses that they spent a lot of money to prepare carefully?
Something that even Liang Weiyuan's maid wouldn't bother to look at?!
Huo Siyuan's face turned pale and blue, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but was suppressed by Yu.
"That's right. What good things has Weiyuan not seen in the General's Mansion? After all, the General's Mansion is a prestigious place. It's Siyuan and I, mother, who have narrow horizons."
"In that case, let's not embarrass ourselves by showing this dress in front of Wei Yuan. Take it back."
Yu had a forced smile on her face, and she seemed to be holding her own, but in fact, she had been unable to withstand Liang Weiyuan's attacks for several times, and could only end the situation with a forced look on her face.
No matter what, the mother and son showed their friendly attitude.
Liang Weiyuan will definitely need time to accept or vent her feelings, and it’s better to stop in moderation.
During breakfast, everyone had different thoughts.
Liang Weiyuan lost her appetite and left without eating much, returning to the yard.
"I have just caused trouble for you, young lady. I know I was wrong, please punish me!"
Zhu Shu was dissatisfied with the Huo family, but he didn't expect that he almost implicated Liang Weiyuan. As soon as he arrived in the yard, he hurriedly apologized.
Liang Weiyuan didn't care at all. She helped Zhushu up and patted her on the head.
"The mother and son's intentions are obvious. What's wrong with you being so unfair on my behalf?"
As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner.
She just wanted to let Yu's mother and son know that she, Liang Weiyuan's maid, was also under her protection and she would not tolerate them taking advantage of her.
Even the steady Mei Shu couldn't help but laugh and said, "The expressions of the Marquis's wife and the Second Young Master just now were truly wonderful."
"Hmph, who told them to stick to the girl all the time? They don't even know their own worth. They dare to show off and curry favor with the girl in just an ordinary dress." Zhu Shu curled his lips and still felt angry when he thought about it.
Her daughter is a precious treasure, and they want to climb up the social ladder and please her by offering a few small favors?
Let him dream his great dreams!
Zhushu spoke with her little mouth like a parrot chirping, never repeating herself. Liang Weiyuan couldn't help laughing when she heard it.
I was in a good mood to handle today's cooking in the mansion. Soon, a new batch of cloth was delivered from the palace.
As a noble family with a title, the court would reward the marquis with cloth regularly or during festivals, which symbolized the official honor and favor.
This is given because of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tomorrow night.
After Liang Weiyuan registered the cloth into the account, she sent someone to deliver a few pieces of silk to the main courtyard according to the rules, with the elders first.
Next it was her turn to choose the first wife.
However, just as Liang Weiyuan raised her hand, a figure rushed in hurriedly.
"Oh, the fabrics from the palace have arrived. I must have a good look."
"Hey, my sister is here too."
The person who came was Liang Shanyu.
At this moment, she looked like she was still catching her breath, wiping her sweat with a handkerchief, and the moment she spoke, her voice was weak and sarcastic.
Those almond-shaped eyes were even more sharp and stared directly at the displayed fabrics.
Liang Weiyuan's mother was rich, but as a concubine's daughter, she had never seen such a scene.
In his previous life, he was executed before he could even enjoy happiness.
Now she looked at the fine silk in front of her with shining eyes.
Liang Weiyuan glanced at her and couldn't help but feel that she was being ridiculous. "I'm in charge of the household expenses. I have to take care of the accounts, so naturally I have to walk around the warehouse."
"Besides, the palace has given us fabrics, and now it's time for the eldest wife to choose."
