Chapter 385 Deliberately Making Things Difficult
"Third Uncle, is the Deng family deliberately making things difficult for us?"
"What does she want to do?"
"Humph, judging by her attitude, it won't be easy for her to return to the clan!"
"He really doesn't understand filial piety at all, and Zhao Xiang doesn't even care!"
"What should we do? Keep waiting like this?"
Everyone looked at Mr. Zhao San and Mrs. Zhao Si.
The two elders exchanged glances, and Master Zhao San said with a cold face, "Wait. Since they asked us to wait, then we will wait."
"Third Uncle, this——"
"Okay, wait a minute!"
"yes"
Third Master Zhao understood that Zhao Xiang and the others were still angry and were deliberately letting them vent their anger.
It's unrealistic to expect them to not hold a grudge against you for such a serious matter. So what if we let them cool down now? The fact that they invited people into the mansion shows that they're relentless and open to negotiation.
That's it.
What does it matter if I stand a little longer?
I will be able to make it up slowly in the future.
But Mr. Zhao San didn't expect that Deng was not just going to leave them alone for a while to cool down her temper, she was planning to leave them alone forever!
They stood for longer and longer periods of time, became more and more tired, and suffered more and more back and leg pain. Everyone in the Zhao family was filled with resentment.
"This Deng family's true villain has achieved success. How arrogant!"
"Let's just let it go. But leaving our Third Uncle and Fourth Grandma hanging like this, I think Mrs. Deng doesn't want to be the Zhao family's daughter-in-law anymore, right?"
"Exactly, who gave her the courage!"
Zhao Liying came here happily, thinking that as long as she threw herself into Deng's arms, hugged her, cried and apologized, and flattered her, she would be able to gain the forgiveness of this aunt and receive all kinds of good things from her as before. However, she never expected that she would suffer before even meeting her.
She was also spoiled at home, how could she bear it?
Rubbing her aching waist, Zhao Liying whispered to her mother, "Mom, why do we have to wait here? Since the housekeeper won't help us inform her, can't we go find Auntie ourselves?"
Tang was stunned: "You——"
Third Master Zhao said, "Li Ying is right. Li Ying, take your sixth cousin with you and go find your third aunt."
"Oh, good!" Zhao Liying was looking forward to hearing this and quickly took her seven-year-old sixth cousin with her.
No one from the Zhao family tried to stop them.
Of course, Li Ying and the others are the younger generation, they are children. Can Deng still be bothered with children? Let them go and explore.
But can Zhao Liying and the others enter the inner courtyard of the Zhao Mansion whenever they want?
The second door was closed. They knocked on it and two maids came in after a while. They were also old servants who were brought back by the Zhao Mansion. They did not know the boy from the Zhao family, but they knew Zhao Liying.
I couldn't help but feel disgusted when I saw her.
But before they could even open their mouths, Zhao Liying and her little cousin rushed in, complaining, "Don't you recognize me? Why are you opening the door so late? I want to see Third Auntie. Sister Ya, Xiang'er, Lin'er, and the others are here too, right?"
"Hey!" Two maids stopped Zhao Liying, one of them said with a half-smile, "Miss Zhao, what's your attitude? Can you just barge into the Zhao Mansion's inner chambers whenever you want? Can you just see our Madam whenever you want? Also, are our eldest, second, and young masters very familiar with you? Miss Zhao, please don't address them like that; it could easily lead to misunderstandings!"
"that is!"
"You—" Zhao Liying's face flushed with anger. "How dare you two servants speak to me like that! I know you, don't you know who I am?"
The two maids covered their mouths and laughed so hard that they fell down.
"Oh, Miss Zhao, of course we recognize you. How could we not? When our master got into trouble, we thought we'd see you, but we didn't see a single person. Now we don't expect to see you again!"
"That's right. Even though it's been so many years, our memories aren't that bad. We naturally recognize it!"
"In my opinion, Miss Zhao, please don't act like our master and mistress are very familiar with you. We are not from the same clan anymore, so we are all unrelated people. Don't you agree?"
"Since you've come here, you should abide by the Zhao family's rules and wait patiently!"
"Humph, I don't know why you still have the nerve to put on airs. Who are you showing off to?"
"You—" How could Zhao Liying have ever suffered such an injustice? These two servants truly resented the Zhao family, yet they didn't even offer her a word of courtesy. Zhao Liying covered her face with her hands, cried, and turned and ran away.
Her sixth cousin was stunned for a moment. As a child, he didn't understand anything, so he quickly turned around and ran away.
The two maids made a pooh sound and closed the middle door in a mocking manner.
Just wait!
Zhao Liying threw herself into Tang's arms, sobbing breathlessly. She said nothing when questioned. She was too embarrassed to say anything. She didn't want to hear a single word of what was said, let alone say it.
But she had to tell it, as Mr. Zhao San got angry and scolded her. Tang quickly comforted her and asked her in detail.
Zhao Liying wiped her tears and spoke intermittently. Even though she had cut off the beginning and the end, everyone in the Zhao family still felt hot on their faces, ashamed and embarrassed.
"What a wicked slave! What a wicked slave!"
"Humph, what do they know? Women are narrow-minded and petty!"
"This, this is outrageous! Outrageous!"
"Should we wait?"
Master Zhao San snorted heavily.
Wait, why not? Now that I'm here, am I just going to go back like this?
Then all that waiting here was in vain, wasn't it? Besides, I wouldn't be willing to just go back like this!
After another half hour, the butler who had disappeared for a long time finally reappeared and slowly said that the lady and the eldest daughter wanted to see them and asked them to follow them.
Master Zhao San and others have completely understood that Deng did it on purpose. Deng was very concerned about the previous incident.
At this moment, everyone was tired, hungry, uncomfortable, and full of resentment, but no one was self-righteous anymore. They followed the housekeeper with a sullen face.
The housekeeper did not lead them into the back house, but to a flower hall in the front yard.
Zhao Liya accompanied her mother, and Qu Guafu and Qu Yutao were also there, with several maids and servants serving them.
The hall is neither big nor small, but there are only two chairs for guests, and no small stools.
When the Zhao family members came in and saw this, their expressions became even uglier.
Mr. Zhao San and Mrs. Zhao Si sat down as a matter of course, and no one dared to compete with them.
These two chairs were originally prepared for them.
After all, he is old, and it would be bad if something bad happened to him.
The Zhao family had originally planned to brush aside the past and not mention it at all, just smiling, trying to be friendly and say nice things, but now with the situation like this, how could that be possible?
