Chapter 23 Changed My Mind
Mo Wen's eyes gleamed, and he said softly, "Mother..."
"To be honest, Yi Yi was a little too hasty in this matter. When her daughter got married, she wanted to help her sister. But in fact... it seems that she didn't think it through very well. First, after all, there was what happened in the past... It would be very awkward for Liang You to become her brother-in-law. Also, living together like this is really a shame for Third Aunt!"
Wang shook her head: "Wenwen! What happened before is in the past, don't think too much! How many opportunities do your aunt and brother-in-law have to meet? As for Liu, don't even think about it. Even if Mo Yi didn't happen, she would still make a fuss about your marriage! She is a typical person who makes people angry but laughs at others!"
"Mom!" Mo Wen was still persuading, "Otherwise, why don't she just wait until the spring to bring up this matter?" She was determined to ruin this matter, but now that things had come to this, she had to find a way!
Wang was in the middle of the situation, and couldn't understand Mo Wen's thoughts for a while. She shook her head again: "We can't wait! Mo Yi's matter is the same as yours, we have to strike while the iron is hot. In case of any unexpected changes!"
Mo Wen's smile disappeared and he stopped talking.
Suddenly, the hoarse voice of the maid at the door rang out, "Madam, the Liang family has sent someone to deliver a letter!"
"Hey?! Bring it in quickly! We were just talking about this." Wang was overjoyed.
The old woman came in and handed Wang a letter.
Wang, who could not read many words, handed it to Qiuhong with familiarity, "Read it quickly!"
Mo Wen coughed lightly, becoming even more unhappy. She was sitting right here, why didn't he give her the letter?
Qiuhong was used to it. She opened the letter and said as she read it, "It was written by Mrs. Liang herself. At the beginning, she thanked you for the gift you gave her yesterday. She said that when she was a child, her grandfather went there on business and brought back some special products. When she saw the gift you gave her, she remembered those days and felt very happy...
Then she said: Lord Liang brought back two deer. Tomorrow, she will send...Mr. Liang to personally deliver the deer meat to you!"
"Ah!" When Wang heard this, she clasped her hands together and her face was full of smiles!
She winked at Mo Wen, "Look! I'm not saying this, it's rare to find someone as kind-hearted as Mrs. Liang. We've been together for so many years, and I've never seen her make things difficult for others. In the future, she will definitely be a good mother-in-law! I didn't expect that Mo Yi would have such a good life!"
Mo Wen's face became even uglier, but she didn't say anything.
"Qiuhong, go tell the first wife that Young Master Liang will be coming tomorrow, and ask the kitchen to prepare something. Oh, and call Mo Yi over by the way!"
This Liang family really values Mo Yi! Mo Wen twisted his handkerchief and secretly hated...
"Wenwen, go see the governess in a couple of days. You can make your own decision. If you think it's appropriate, I'll come to teach you after the New Year. To be honest: Not everything is good in a big house. There are so many rules, and if you can't handle one well...it won't be easy to make up for it!
This is very important, but Mo Wen's mind is elsewhere.
"Mrs. Xu can't be compared to Mrs. Liang. They are completely different! What's more, you have two mothers-in-law above you, so you have to be extra careful..."
As she was mumbling, the maid who had delivered the letter came back again, "Madam, there's another letter! This time it's from the Xu family!"
Wang stood up quickly, "Quick! Give the letter to the young lady and let her read it herself!"
The unhappiness just now was immediately thrown behind her. Mo Wen blushed slightly and took the letter generously, "Well... the letter was written by Madam Xu, saying that she would send the maidservants around to deliver the New Year gifts tomorrow."
"Oh! We're all together!" The feeling of welcoming a noble son-in-law made Wang very excited: "Yesterday, I didn't feel comfortable sending gifts to the Xu family! I was afraid that people would say we were being too eager. But look at Madam Xu, she's doing things so respectably! This shows that she thinks highly of you! What else can I say?"
Mo Wen shook his head, "Nothing else." He calmed down and looked at the scented letter paper with dark patterns and Mrs. Xu's beautiful plum blossom seal script. Then he thought about his own mother...she couldn't even recognize a few words.
The gap between the two families is quite big, so we have to cheer up and deal with it.
"Mother." Mo Yi came.
Wang saw that Mo Yi still had her pigtails and her face seemed to be black. She wore a long coat over her blue floral coat. She could vaguely see that her hands were also black.
He immediately became furious. "Mo Yi, why are you so sloppy? It's ok that you don't dress well, but your face and hands are so dirty! What do you do all day?"
The table was slapped so hard that the teacup almost jumped up. Mo Wen looked at Mo Yi with a look of disdain on his face.
What is Mo Yi doing? He is working in the house!
She was so excited that besides reading, she was sorting out the ingredients, preparing to divide them roughly and then divide them into smaller parts. She tried to explore each part several times and memorize it in her mind. Then she would carefully plan what to make and how to do it...
This was a very laborious task, and half a day passed in the blink of an eye. I didn't get much sleep, and my eyes were all dark circles...
When Gang Qiuhong went to call her, she didn't come in but didn't leave either. She stood outside the door and talked to Xiangye, meaning that she was waiting for her to come together.
Mo Yi panicked and hid his things quickly, and walked out the door without even having time to clean himself up.
Seeing Wang was angry, she explained, "Mother, I was tidying up the flowers and plants. I came right after you called me, and I didn't have time to wash my face or hands."
"Humph!" Wang said with annoyance: "If the Liang family sees you like a firewood girl, will they want you!?"
Mo Yi lowered his head and said nothing...
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of her three kicks, Wang was furious.
"Liang You is already a scholar. In the outside world, the wives of scholars are looked up to. Don't bring shame to him! And don't bring shame to the Mo family and your aunt!"
"Yeah." Mo Yi responded softly.
"Answer me properly!" Wang yelled.
Mo Yi had no choice but to say, "Yes! Mother, I understand."
Wang took a breath and then continued, "Tomorrow, Liang You will come to your house in person to give you a gift. You will definitely have to meet him. So pack up well..."
Mo Wen's eyes were cold, but he smiled and said, "Mother, just keep it clean and tidy! There's no need to be too deliberate."
Wang nodded, turned to Mo Yi and said, "Did you hear what your sister said?"
"Mother, sister. Yi'er understands!"
"Also... don't go out for the next two days. Your Third Aunt is jealous again! People from the Liang and Xu families are coming tomorrow. Try not to cause trouble!"
"yes!"
"What are you still standing there for? Go back to your room. Remember, dress nicely but don't be too petty!"
Mo Yi nodded and said, "Yes." Then he turned and walked out.
Wang looked at her from behind and said, "What a wilful person!"
"Hmph!" Mo Wen also snorted. If there is a chance tomorrow, he would take a closer look to see if there is anything wrong here.
Mo Yi walked back and when he reached the corner, he suddenly felt something eerie behind him and turned around...
Liu was standing at the other end of the alley, staring at her with her eyes bulging! She was startled and quickly bowed, but when she looked up again, the person was gone...
She got goose bumps all over her body... She had already heard Qiuhong talk about Liu's uproar, and couldn't help but sigh: Third Aunt always makes a scene shamelessly, that's because she always gets some benefits after making a scene.
My aunt is not a strict housekeeper.
Every time Third Aunt made a fuss, Eldest Aunt would always intervene first, then take a step back and give in some benefits.
So Liu also understood this rule, no matter whether it had anything to do with her or not, she would argue and quarrel. Then, she would take a step back, take some benefits and leave.
It had nothing to do with her originally, but in the end she benefited from it, so why not make a fuss?
Oh, tomorrow...what does Liang You look like now?
My little heart started beating wildly...
