Chapter 317 It’s not my turn to go back home today, won’t Li Yulan hate me to death?
Mrs. Li was confused.
"Why did Mingzhu say that you stole her things and beat up her maid?"
Jiusu raised his head and said, "We can find out the truth by asking the butler. Besides, if we bring the stolen items up here, the butler will be able to tell who they belong to at a glance, and we can then make a decision."
Nanny Ju invited the housekeeper and brought all the things that were moved to Lanfengyuan.
Old Madam Li still values the housekeeper very much.
"Lao Zheng, what's going on with this?"
The butler bowed and said respectfully, "I didn't see what happened, but after returning, I heard from the servant in charge that it was this maid who started beating Kou Shao first. Those things also belonged to Miss Li."
Hearing this.
Yu Mingzhu clenched her hands nervously: "How could this happen? Housekeeper, it was you who sent someone to notify us to get daily necessities, how come they are not ours anymore?"
The butler nodded.
"Yes, I have informed you. However, the distribution of items is based on seniority..."
As she spoke, the things that Cuicui had snatched away were carried up.
Liu Er picked up the already opened bottle of Luozidai and said, "This is expensive Luozidai. I remember that it was purchased for the young lady by Madam, who entrusted her to her, right?"
The housekeeper nodded and said, "Yes, this batch of things should all belong to Miss Li. Logically, the items are all marked with the courtyards, so the servants won't make any mistakes."
The answer is already obvious.
Old Madam Li waved her hand to dismiss the servants. She looked fiercely at the maids kneeling in a row.
"You're not telling the truth yet? Do you want me to use the family rules? I can summon that servant and ask him, and he'll tell you. The housekeeper didn't tell me because he was saving face for you, a bunch of lowly slaves!"
The cane hit the ground, as if it had hit his back.
Let Cuicui panic.
Yu Mingzhu pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "Cuicui, why don't you tell me the truth? What is going on?"
Suddenly, Cuicui trembled all over, fell to the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly, "I deserve to die. I saw that the young lady's things were not as good as others, so I became dissatisfied and snatched them away. I didn't mean to offend Miss Li. Please forgive me, old lady."
Yu Mingzhu stepped forward and explained, "Grandma, the ink used by my granddaughter-in-law in Jiangnan is Luozidai. Maybe she was mistaken. Cuicui grew up with my granddaughter-in-law. Please spare her life, Grandma."
The new daughter-in-law has spoken.
Madam Li couldn't refuse either: "Get up. For my sake, let's end this matter with Jiusu. How about that?"
"I'll listen to Grandma." Jiusu helped her mother sit on the side obediently. "As long as this maid knows her mistake and apologizes to Kou Shao, I won't hold it against her."
Cui Cui gritted her teeth. She had been beaten up like this, and she still had to apologize!?
Madam Li nodded with satisfaction: "My granddaughter is a sensible one."
Hearing this, Cuicui could only walk up to Kou Shao and bow to apologize: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me, sir."
Kou Shao lowered her head in grievance, she had already thought of her excuse.
"I forgive you, but I hope you can change your temper and stop being so arrogant and domineering. Only in this way can the Marquis's Mansion be stable. The old lady is already worried, and as maids, we should not add to the chaos."
Cuicui gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart: You are the one who says all the good and bad things.
Madam Li was touched. "Jiusu, I didn't expect the maidservant beside you to be so clever and well-behaved. I have been in charge of the mansion for many years, and no one has ever cared about me. No wonder your father likes you. He should like you."
Who would have thought that Jiusu would take all the limelight.
Feeling the cold stare from her mother-in-law, Yu Mingzhu felt very aggrieved.
He was very respectful before, but now his attitude has become so perfunctory.
Jiusu said sweetly, "Grandma's health is what my granddaughter wishes for."
Mrs. Li couldn't stop smiling.
Suddenly, Li Sanfang sighed and shook her head, saying, "Now that the old lady has found her biological granddaughter, I'm wondering if newly married Yulan is doing well. Has she suffered any injustice in her husband's family? If she had the honor of making you smile... oh!"
When people get old, they become nostalgic.
In the past, her Shouchun Courtyard was filled with laughter and joy.
Madam Li sighed and said, "Yes, she has been married for many days, and I haven't seen her for a long time."
"Yulan is afraid that her sister-in-law will get angry, so she has been thinking about you." Li Sanfang took out a night-shining pearl from her bosom and presented it to her with both hands. "This is the pearl that Yulan begged the Minister for a long time. I want to give it to you but I dare not. This child misses you."
Old Madam Li was playing with the night pearl.
She nodded and said, "Yulan is a good kid, she's just been possessed by a ghost. Let's ask her to come home tomorrow."
Yi Hui wanted to speak.
Jiusu held the back of her hand and shook his head at his mother.
After leaving Shouchun Courtyard, Yi Hui angrily said, "Yuyu, why are you stopping me? Li Yulan can't enter the Marquis' Mansion! Have you forgotten what she did to you?"
"Mother, you can't stop Grandmother." Jiusu touched his chin, "And I feel like there's some kind of deal going on between Li Yulan and Third Aunt. We have to create opportunities for them to uncover what's going on."
Yi Hui was helpless: "Okay, but she can't go through the main entrance."
She said meaningfully.
"Tomorrow, there will be distinguished guests coming through the main entrance."
The starlight was dim, and the snow outside had long since melted. Today, Kou Shao and Zi Tan had swapped shifts. Lying on the small couch, she whispered, "Thank you, my lady. Meeting you is the greatest honor of my life."
Jiusu tilted his head and smiled, "Silly girl, it's my honor to meet you."
…
The next day, the sky was clear, the sun was warm and the wind was gentle.
Jiusu stretched lazily and asked, "When did this dress come from? Why can't I remember?"
I saw Zitan holding a bright red dress in her hand.
She doesn't wear this color often.
Zi Tan said, "It was sent by Boss Xiuying. Would you like to try it on, young lady? I found some red jade headdresses for you, they would be a perfect match."
Jiusu responded.
"Okay, you take care of it. I'll close my eyes and rest for a while."
[Congratulations to the host for passing the 'Worship the God of Wealth' and obtaining the paternity test machine (click to view details)]
There have been a lot of good things coming out these days, and this time it was a paternity test robot. She clicked on the details and saw, "Just put the hair or blood of two people into the machine, spend a gold leaf, wait a day, and you'll get the results."
In a moment, Zitan had polished the mirror until it was shiny.
"Okay, Miss. Are you satisfied?"
"Ah?" Jiusu was surprised. She tilted her head and looked at the red hairpin on her head. She felt her head getting heavy and smiled helplessly. "It's not like I'm going back home today. Won't Li Yulan hate me to death?"
Zitan nervously advised: "I have seen that all the young ladies from the wealthy families in Shengjing are like this."
Outside the door, Yi Hui came calling.
"Yuyu, I'll go with you." She was wearing emerald green clothes. Unlike before, this time she looked more imposing and had the demeanor of a wealthy family's mistress.
Jiusu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood why his father was so obsessed with his mother. Even though he held a high position and had seen many beauties, his love for his mother remained unchanged from beginning to end.
She hugged her and laid her head on her chest.
"Mother, you really look like a fairy flying down from the sky. You are so beautiful."
Yi Hui smiled gently and stroked her daughter's hair. Days like this were so comfortable. Thinking of today's happy event, she couldn't help but tear up: "Yuyu, I really don't want you to get married."
