Chapter 280 Remember Your Identity
Zhang Qiuye was not embarrassed at all when Qian Yulin pointed out his mistake. He straightened his back and looked at Zhang Juexia.
"Sister looks fatter than last year. It shows that my mother really chose a good marriage for her, unlike me..."
Zhang Juexia originally thought that this was the Li family's territory and he should be more restrained, but after hearing what Zhang Qiuye said, he was furious and asked, "How did the Li family let you down?"
Then she put on a kind face and bowed to Qian Yulin, "Please don't be offended, Madam. My sister has been spoiled at home. When she sees me, a member of her family, she speaks without restraint."
"Qiuye, although I am your sister, you are now a concubine of the Li family. You should remember your status."
Zhang Qiuye was confused by Zhang Juexia. What she meant by saying this was simply to remind Zhang Juexia that no matter how capable she was, she was married into the mountains and her husband was a lame hunter, which was nothing compared to her marrying into the Li family.
But how did it become that she disliked the Li family?
Zhang Qiuye was so frightened that his face changed. He knelt down quickly and said, "Madam, I don't mean anything else. I..."
Qian Yulin frowned and said, "I have some friendship with your sister. If you feel that you are not satisfied with your life in our Li family, I can find the master and ask him to let you go.
However, our Li family is not a philanthropic family. We must also carefully calculate the money that the master spent on you in order to marry you."
Zhang Qiuye kowtowed profusely, "Madam, I don't think that's the intention. Master and Madam have been so kind to me, how could I have the thought of leaving?"
She raised her head and looked at Zhang Juexia fiercely, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't said that, I... Zhang Juexia, I hate you to death."
Zhang Juexia spread her hands and said, "What you said just now, weren't you just envying me? And then you felt that you were not living a satisfactory life as a concubine."
"I don't."
Zhang Qiuye yelled at Zhang Juexia uncontrollably.
Aunt Liu quickly found someone to push her to the ground, "Eighth Concubine, we don't care what your relationship with Miss Zhang was in the past.
Now, Miss Zhang is the Madam's guest. As long as you are still our Li family's concubine, you have to abide by the rules of the Li family.
"Sorry, Eighth Concubine, you don't know the rules and treat guests with contempt. Come, take her away."
Zhang Qiuye struggled unconvinced. She broke free from the old woman's hand and lay down at Qian Yulin's feet. "Madam, I really don't have any other thoughts. I don't..."
Qian Yulin waved his hand, and the maids hurriedly carried Zhang Qiuye out.
Zhang Qiuye was spouting crazily, "Zhang Juexia, I'm going to make you pay sooner or later, you bitch..."
The old women also acted accordingly. Seeing Aunt Liu's dark face, they quickly found a piece of rag and stuffed it into Zhang Qiuye's mouth.
Soon the yard became quiet.
Zhang Juexia wanted to leave, and Qian Yulin didn't force her to stay. She smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Qiuye is really persistent. I'm afraid there's no way to resolve the grudge between you and her."
"I'm also confused. It was clearly her who planned my marriage first, but in the end, I'm the one who's to blame."
"It's because you are so capable."
Qian Yulin actually walked Zhang Juexia to the gate this time for the first time, "There is a gift from me in the carriage, you are not allowed to refuse.
These things are piling up in the warehouse and taking up space. You might as well use them in the workshop."
Zhang Juexia trotted a few steps and looked at the carriage piled high with silk and satin. "Auntie, how can I feel so embarrassed?"
Qian Yulin waved his hand. "You've taken it, and you've made the most of it. I can't offer you a meal, so hurry back and see if you can get another meal at Manager Yao's place."
Zhang Juexia chuckled, "Auntie, you really understand me. I will respectfully obey your command."
Qian Yulin watched Zhang Juexia's carriage drive away, then slowly turned around and rubbed his forehead, "The Eighth Concubine violated etiquette and is under house arrest for a month.
If the master asks, you must tell the truth."
"yes."
When the Li family's servants saw Qian Yulin walking away, they gathered together cautiously and said, "I'm afraid the Eighth Concubine has fallen out of favor."
"If you ask me, he should have fallen out of favor long ago."
"That's right. Ever since the day she lost the child, I knew she would fall out of favor sooner or later."
"Our wife is kind-hearted. Seeing that her child was gone, she didn't deliberately restrain her. She thought she was going to heaven!"
"This person needs to be sensible and understand his own identity."
The servants complained a few words and then quickly dispersed.
Zhang Qiuye was taken to the yard by the old women and thrown away. No matter how she scolded them, the old women did not talk back. They just closed the door of the yard and went about their own business.
The maid who served Zhang Qiuye lost her composure when she saw the courtyard door was locked. "You are so amazing! You really think you have become a phoenix. Ah, bah, why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? What kind of character do you have?"
"We're so unlucky to be serving you. We originally thought your job was a good one, but now it's slowly turned into stinking shit."
Zhang Qiuye glared at the women fiercely, "If you say anything more, I'll tear your mouths apart. I'm hungry, hurry up and prepare some food for me."
"Oh, you really think you're the master! You're not worthy enough, go wherever you want! I won't serve you anymore, old lady!"
Seeing that the maids had all left, Zhang Qiuye collapsed to the ground, knowing that no one would listen to him no matter how harsh his words were.
Chuncao saw her and helped her inside. "What a bunch of idiots! I'll go report this to the Madam right away."
"Don't go, Chuncao, help me to the bed and let me sleep for a while."
Zhang Qiuye lay on the bed, staring with lifeless eyes, and burst into tears as she thought about it.
But no matter how much she cried, no one came to ask her.
This made the maid outside impatient, "You're crying at a funeral! It's unlucky!"
Zhang Qiuye was afraid that they would say something unpleasant again, so he quickly stopped talking.
Zhang Juexia returned to the shop, got off the carriage, and asked Li Xi to arrange someone to deliver the things in the carriage to Aunt Wang.
Li Xi lifted the carriage curtain and took a closer look. "Boss, these are all good things. They must have cost a lot of money!"
Zhang Juexia just nodded and didn't explain further.
Shopkeeper Yao heard the commotion and came running over. "You heartless man, you're finally back in town."
"You made more food for me, I'll go eat it."
"Even if I didn't make it, I'll have to arrange for someone to make it for you. Let's go!"
Shopkeeper Yao pulled Zhang Juexia away. Li Xi opened his mouth several times before finally mustering up the courage to say, "Shopkeeper Yao, could you please allow me to have a few words with our boss before I go to your place?"
