Chapter 7: I'm making a scene for you, but I'm really cruel
It was a spring afternoon, and Ye Wenfu had people move tables and chairs to the courtyard. At this moment, she was sitting there chatting and laughing with her maids Caiwei and Hongxing.
When he saw Song Jin come in, his face darkened and he gave her a cold look and ignored her.
Song Jin bowed and said, "Fourth Lady, Grandmother is sympathetic and said that it's too lonely to live alone in a courtyard, so she asked everyone to move to Meilin Courtyard together."
"Everyone?" Ye Wenfu asked unkindly, "Which everyone?"
"Of course it's the Second Mother, the Third Mother, and the Fourth Mother."
Ye Wenfu sneered after hearing this: "I have lived in the West Garden since I entered the Bai family. But you, you have only been in Zizhu Garden for one day and I have to live in the same courtyard with them. Tell me, whose idea was this?"
Ye Wenfu became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her voice became louder and louder. She became even angrier when she saw Song Jin cursing at her casually. She jumped up on the spot and slapped Song Jin on the head several times.
Song Jin already knew Ye Wenfu's temper, so he didn't hide, but just stretched out his arm to block, and continued:
"Fourth Madam, pack up and get ready to move. Second Madam and Third Madam are already packing."
"I won't move! Who do you think you are? You dare to order me around after you go to Zizhu Garden? You're dreaming!"
Ye Wenfu's angry saliva almost sprayed on Song Jin's face. Song Jin kept his composure, bowed and went out. However, not far from the hospital gate, Hong Xing caught up with him.
"Veggies? Veggies?" Hong Xing stopped Song Jin in the middle of the fight and said, "What's going on? Why are you moving out of the blue?"
Song Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Nothing, it's just that we can all be together for company, and it will save the people from running around in several courtyards. It will be more convenient to move together."
Seeing her speaking in an official tone, Hong Xing knew that this was what the grandmother meant, and complained, "This person of ours is not someone who is easy to get along with. If we move in together, there will be a big fight."
Song Jin still smiled bitterly. This was exactly what Grandma Wen Ya was thinking. No one in this family could have an easy life except her.
"Persuade Si Niang to move out, otherwise I'm afraid that the eldest grandmother will take this opportunity to embarrass her."
Hong Xing sighed, turned around and went back, and Song Jin also turned around and left.
She didn't care whether Ye Wenfu moved or not. If she moved, that would be the best. If she didn't, she would continue to be a bad person. She had been a bad person for many years anyway, so it wouldn't matter if she did it for a while.
Song Jin went to Zizhu Garden to report that Meilin Courtyard had been cleaned up and the three courtyards had been notified and were ready to move in.
Wen Ya had a faint smile on her face and glanced at Song Jin's slightly messy hair, which she had deliberately left untidy.
"Has the one in Xiyuan also moved?"
Song Jin replied: "Fourth Lady is not in a good mood, I guess it will take a while."
Wen Ya's smile widened: "I think it's not just that you're in a bad mood. She hit you, didn't she? Does it hurt? Look at your hair, she hit you really hard."
There seemed to be concern in his words, but Song Jin knew how hypocritical that was. He didn't even bother to find a doctor when she was almost dying of illness, but now he's showing concern after giving her a couple of slaps.
"It's not been a day or two since Fourth Lady has taken out her anger on me."
"You are quite open-minded, but I wonder if those girls in Xiyuan can also be open-minded."
As he spoke, he glanced at Song Jin and asked, "How long do you think she will delay? It can't be delayed too long, otherwise the other two will blame me for not treating everyone equally."
Song Jin said, "Since we are moving to Meilin Courtyard, all the food supplies should be sent to Meilin Courtyard. There is no need to rush Si Niang. As long as the supply from Xiyuan is cut off, Si Niang will move sooner or later."
Wen Ya burst out laughing: "You are really cruel and ruthless."
Song Jin did not argue, but just stood there waiting for Wen Ya to finish laughing.
"Okay, go back to your room and pack up, then go to the front and pass on the message."
Song Jin bowed, lowered his head and went out.
As soon as she went out, Wen Ya restrained the smile in her eyes. This person had changed too much.
Song Jin went back to the room and combed her hair again. The maids' hairstyles were not very varied, so she took down her bun and tidied it up a little and it was fine. Then she went outside to pass on the message.
Walking on the road, Song Jin watched the servants busying themselves, and then thought about herself. Others were cattle and horses for their entire lives, but she was a cattle and horse for two lifetimes. How much sin had she committed?
The message was passed on to the maid in the kitchen and the steward in the front, telling them that whatever the West Garden needed, they should send it to the Meilin Courtyard without any deduction.
If you move to Meilinyuan, all supplies will remain the same. If you don't move, you will be in trouble.
The servants all do their jobs according to their masters' moods. They have long known that Zizhuyuan dislikes the one from Xiyuan. But Ye Wenfu is also a scolding person. Now that they see a chance to make things difficult for him blatantly, they say they will obey the orders of the grandmother, but they are already very happy in their hearts.
We can watch the plays in Xiyuan for several more days.
For a moment, everyone was waiting for the person in Xiyuan to make a noise, except Song Jin, who wanted to stay away from him.
As everyone expected, the West Garden became noisy in the evening of that day.
In the evening, the meal was not delivered from the kitchen but was sent directly to Meilin Courtyard. Ye Wenfu did not wait for dinner and led her people to the kitchen to start scolding.
"You all have come to bully me one by one. You are such a dog that looks down on others. You are taking advantage of the fact that the master is gone and you all want to step on me, right? I will let you eat!"
During the quarrel, he was about to smash something. Chunyun knew that something was going to happen, so she ran to Zizhuyuan to find Song Jin early, otherwise it would be embarrassing for everyone if the quarrel got out of hand.
Song Jin knew clearly that Wen Ya would not intervene in this matter, and she had to clean up the mess herself.
Without any hesitation, Song Jin left Zizhu Garden and followed Chunyun straight to the kitchen.
At this moment, the kitchen was in chaos and full of noise, but when Song Jin stood at the door, the maids in the kitchen suddenly became quiet.
It's strange to say, Song Jin is very thin and small, and everyone knew her in the past, but I always felt that something was wrong when I saw her these past two days.
He doesn't like to laugh much, nor is he fierce, he just doesn't laugh and has a sullen face, but he speaks politely, making it hard to figure him out.
Could it be that the rumors were true? Did this person really change after he became a divine being?
Everyone had doubts in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask any further questions, so they could only stop what they were doing and look quietly at Song Jin who was standing at the door.
Ye Wenfu was beating hard when she suddenly noticed that all the maids had stopped. She followed their gaze and immediately saw Song Jin standing at the door with an expressionless face.
"Oh, it's Mancao coming. You are so capable. I can't control you, but you just stand there and everyone stops. It's different when you go to Zizhu Garden. You are so majestic."
"You're showing off your power behind my grandmother and now you're taking advantage of me. I should have made you kneel down and break your legs in the West Garden."
Ye Wenfu is still the same, beautiful, charming, fierce and vicious.
"Why did Si Niang go to the kitchen and make such a fuss?"
Song Jin asked calmly. Before Ye Wenfu could say anything, her mother, Mrs. Chen, came over and grabbed her arm and whispered:
"Speak nicely and persuade Si Niang. We are just following your instructions and we haven't treated her unfairly."
Ye Wenfu chuckled, "Follow orders? Whose orders? Is it hers or the grandmother's? Have you ever seen the grandmother? I'm afraid someone is showing off here under the banner of the grandmother."
Song Jin took a breath and calmed himself down.
She knew that this matter must not be brought to the attention of Grandma Wen Ya, otherwise she would not be able to pretend to be a good person. Song Jin could only bear it by herself, even if she had to bear the beatings, scoldings and falling out.
"What are you talking about, Si Niang? Now that the master is gone, everything is decided by the eldest grandmother. She thinks that it's good for everyone to live together and it will save the servants some work. Even if Mancao has the guts to do it, she wouldn't dare pretend to be the eldest grandmother and pass on the message."
Ye Wenfu sneered after hearing this, staring at Song Jin and said, "You keep calling me 'grandma'. Are you trying to use that to pressure me?"
Song Jin said, "How dare I? It's just a move to a larger courtyard. Besides, it's not just Fourth Lady who's moving. Second and Third Lady have already packed up everything."
Ye Wenfu looked at Song Jin coldly. Beating her was useless, scolding her was useless, and reasoning with her was useless. She kept calling her a big grandmother and comparing her with several other people who were obedient and submissive, clearly implying that she was a troublemaker.
She wanted to go to Zizhuyuan to make trouble, but no one in Zizhuyuan would care about her life or death.
Ye Wenfu was holding her breath in her chest, with nowhere to vent. She turned her head and saw a plate of food on the table. She grabbed it and smashed it to the ground, splashing the soup everywhere.
"Walk!"
Ye Wenfu took Hong Xing and Cai Wei and walked out of the kitchen. When she passed by Song Jin, she pushed him hard with her hand, almost knocking him to the ground. Fortunately, there were other people who supported him.
"Just wait for me!"
After saying these harsh words, Ye Wenfu stormed out, leaving the mess in the kitchen for everyone to clean up.
Song Jin did not leave but stayed in the kitchen to help clean up.
Mrs. Chen came over and held her hand and asked, "Did it hurt you?"
Song Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Another maid said, "This Fourth Lady is too restless. The master just left and she's already clamoring to remarry. She hasn't even taken off her mourning clothes. I've never seen such an unruly girl."
Someone else said, "What if Jiandian can sleep in the same bed with our master? Haven't you heard that they slept together before they were married in? This is not a peaceful woman."
"Our master is also bewitched. Second Lady is so good. Although her family background is not as good as that of the eldest lady, she is at least a girl from a respectable family. She was bullied so many times when she entered the family, but she never made a fuss. As a result, the girls who came after her are more dishonest than the last one."
At this point, a woman laughed and said, "Speaking of which, our Sanniang was also quite famous back then, otherwise how could she be redeemed by our master? I think she had some tricks up her sleeve."
"That's right. Today they said they were going to move the yard, but before the word got out, they already started packing up."
"Haha, someone must have secretly passed the message. Didn't you hear it?"
"What did you hear?"
No one spoke after that, only faint laughter could be heard, which caught Song Jin's attention.
When she delivered the message in the afternoon, before she even entered the house, she saw Sanniang's maid Suxue moving things out. It was obvious that she had known that the yard was going to be moved.
Song Jin helped clean up the kitchen somewhat absentmindedly, but was thinking in his heart, who is this person?
"Don't clean up. Are you hungry? Have you had dinner? If not, I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, someone responded: "Yes, yes, Miss Mancao, just eat a bowl of noodles here. I'll give you more meat."
Song Jin smiled and said hello, and then added: "Thank you, Granny Li."
The old woman smiled and sighed, then went to cook noodles in a hurry.
Whether it was because she could sit under a big tree to enjoy the shade or because she was relying on the power of her superiors, ever since Song Jin moved into Zizhuyuan and did something in the house, the servants looked at her differently, and they became more friendly to Old Lu and Mrs. Chen. Otherwise, they would not cook noodles for her just because they were asked to.
Granny Li and Granny Chen were one making a fire and the other scooping water, only Song Jin was staring at the fire in the stove in a daze.
When can we leave this damn place?
