Chapter 760
Seeing the stiff expression on the maid's face, Jixiang continued, "If you want the young mistress to go over, that's fine. I'll go back in a bit and tell the young mistress about how you haven't taken good care of her, and I'll ask her to replace you all and send someone more capable to serve her!"
The maidservant instinctively said, "What makes you think we're not serving you well?"
"If she were truly so considerate, why would the old lady have sent the young mistress to serve her?"
With just one sentence, the maid was rendered speechless, and her face turned pale.
She didn't say anything for a long time, and finally turned around and stormed off.
Only after watching the maid's figure disappear into the distance did Jixiang finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Cool.
Mother Water looked at Jixiang with more appreciation: "Well done."
Ji Xiang smiled shyly.
“That’s how it should be from now on,” Mother Shui said as she led her back. “As long as you don’t take action, you don’t have to worry about things getting out of hand. Anyway, no matter what happens, the Prince’s Mansion will back you up.”
Jixiang nodded obediently, her docile demeanor a stark contrast to her earlier aggressive and menacing manner.
Back in the dining room, Huo Zhao looked at her.
Jixiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, young mistress. That maid has already gone back, and I think she probably won't be coming back."
——
Meanwhile, the maidservant hurriedly returned to the old lady's courtyard.
Of course, the old lady wasn't going to wait foolishly for Huo Zhao, and she had already started eating slowly.
Seeing that the maid had returned alone, the old lady frowned: "Isn't she coming yet?"
The maid nodded stiffly, "Not only did she not come, but I didn't even get to see the young mistress. She sent Jixiang to see me instead, and Jixiang said a lot of nasty things!"
The old lady, of course, wouldn't be idle enough to ask what unpleasant things had been said.
Even if the old lady didn't know what she said, it was enough to make her angry.
She went there in person this morning, but Huo Zhao preferred to sleep rather than see her, and it was the same at noon! Isn't this a clear indication that he doesn't respect her as his grandmother?
This is a real disrespect to one's grandmother!
Just as the old lady was thinking this, a maid came in.
It came from Huo Zhao's side.
"The young mistress said that she was really sorry to the old lady and asked me to bring her a piece of fine leather. It will get cold soon, and the old lady can make it into a garment to keep warm."
Well, this time we'll have to pay our respects.
This also suppressed the old lady's anger that was about to subside, and incidentally threw a stone on top of it, making the old lady feel even worse.
"Who wants her stuff! Throw it out, throw it out!"
The old lady was furious, and the maids quickly carried out her orders.
Cuizhi stood behind the old lady, patting her back: "Old Madam, please calm down! The young mistress's behavior is really too much. Why don't you talk to Madam and ask her to step in and teach the young mistress a lesson!"
The old lady said irritably, "How can you be even more confused than me! My daughter-in-law is also an unfilial child! She wouldn't care about anything!"
“If Madam doesn’t care, then surely the Marquis will,” Cuizhi said. “Old Madam, you are the matriarch of the family, why should you suffer such injustice!”
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the old lady's eyes.
How could she have forgotten about Shen Jun!
Shen Jun is her own son, how could she possibly abandon him?
The old lady took several deep breaths to finally compose herself: "Call my son over this afternoon. I want to see if he'll actually do anything about how domineering his granddaughter-in-law is!"
"yes!"
The old lady was still very considerate towards her son.
They even knew it would be in the afternoon, so they waited until Shen Jun got up before calling him.
But the old lady never expected that even though she had been so considerate, Shen Jun would still disappoint her.
