[Father-in-law Chapter 11] Underestimated her
Chu Jiao came to the kitchen quietly. At the same time, a group of people walked slowly from not far away.
Chu Jiao smiled slightly and bowed to the people.
In the room, several cooks were still playing bridge and chatting.
"Hey, do you think that the third young lady will get angry with us if that little maid goes back to report the news?"
"What are you afraid of? You know the third room. The old lady is unhappy. No matter how unhappy they are, they have to hold it in. If we do this, maybe it will suit the old lady's wishes better." "That's right, filial piety is more important than anything else! Even if there is a third master who is an official, he is still a bastard. Let alone the third young lady coming, even if the third master comes, we just need to cry to the old lady and everything will be fine!"
"Hehe, you old guy, you have a lot of tricks."
"Oh? You want to cry to me? What are you crying about?"
Zhu, with a gloomy face, stepped into the kitchen. Her usual kind look was gone, and her eyes were like knives.
"Madam, madam?"
"Please forgive us, madam! We, our servants, have spoken rudely and nonsense! Please spare your lives, madam!" Several
cooks knelt down in a hurry and kowtowed, their hearts in a panic.
"Hey, what can I say to you," Chu Jiao held Zhu's hand, with a regretful tone, "Originally, I said that my girl was new here and didn't know much, and she ruined the second wife's food. I personally went to the kitchen to give the second wife a gift to apologize, and by the way, I made some Northwest specialties for grandmother."
"You are a bunch of dogs who deceive your superiors and deceive your subordinates," she said, "Aren't
you making the old lady look unkind and unjust!" "The old lady is so kind and considerate to the young generation, but in your eyes you are the one who values legitimate children over illegitimate children and is disrespectful to the officials appointed by the court!? ? Isn't this destroying the century-old reputation of our Shen family! Do you know your crime!"
"I, I know my crime! I know my crime!" Several people clasped their hands and shed tears.
"Drag it away and sell it!" Zhu said to the housekeeper beside her, then turned around and patted Chu Jiao's hand with a forced smile, "My granddaughter-in-law, I am ashamed to let you see such a shameful scene."
"Du, how do you manage the family!?" Unable to defend herself, nor to vent her anger on the "kind-hearted" Chu Jiao, Zhu could only vent her anger on the eldest daughter-in-law beside her.
Du had no words to say. Although she was the one in charge of the family, the housekeepers were all the old lady's people. She was just arranging some chores, so how could she have any authority?
"Okay, we are all family, let's just deal with these little villains."
Chu Jiao was "considerate" and advised, "Today the weather is fine, grandma will go to the garden in front to appreciate the flowers first, and the grandson and his wife will prepare snacks later, you must taste them! Although the northwest is remote, there are still many delicious foods."
"Hahaha, okay, then grandma will wait!"
On the path behind the kitchen, a master and a servant were standing not far away.
"Hehe, you little rascal."
"Third Master, why don't you leave?" The servant Fu Lai was beside Shen Zhen, confused.
Shen Zhen smiled and turned around to walk back.
"I thought someone needed my help, but I underestimated her."
"Ah? Third Master, what did you say?"
Fulai didn't understand why his master came in such a hurry, stood here for a long time and then left without doing anything.
"Fulai, do you think your master is old when you see him like this?"
Shen Zhen returned to the study, touched his chin in front of the mirror, and suddenly asked the servant.
"How could it be! Third Master, you are so beautiful and charming, and the girls in Yichun Courtyard are thinking about you day and night. Every time you accompany... there, you are surrounded by flowers!?"
Fulai was particularly sincere.
"Tsk. Why didn't that girl even look at your master today?"
"Ah? Third Master, who are you talking about?"
"No one!"
Shen Zhen: Master's charm is actually ineffective! ? Very good little girl, you have successfully attracted the master's attention!
Chu Jiao: I am afraid I have met a drama queen:)
