Chapter 517: Meng Shanchuan and Jin Yulu (VI)
The little maid Cui'er was completely confused.
She didn't expect that Jin Yulu could turn the situation around with just a few words.
"Zhenzhen, take her back to the mansion and let the steward interrogate her carefully to find out who bribed her to deliberately sow discord between me and my mother-in-law." Jin Yulu gave her personal maid Zhenzhen a look.
Zhenzhen understood immediately and rushed over to cover Cui'er's mouth.
"You little bitch, you actually dare to sow discord between the Madam and the Young Madam. Do you want to climb into the Young Master's bed and become his concubine?" Zhenzhen scolded her while dragging her into the carriage.
Jin Yulu bowed to everyone and said, "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself."
Afterwards, he asked for leave from his boss, saying that he had to go home to take care of some housework, but he would come back to work after that and would definitely not delay the affairs of the winery company.
Lord Yan waved his hands and said, "It's okay. It will only delay you for half a day. It won't affect anything. I approve your leave."
"Thank you, sir." After thanking her, Jin Yulu got on the carriage and slapped Cui'er twice.
Cui'er was held down by Zhenzhen, unable to struggle, and her head was buzzing from being fanned.
Jin Yulu looked at Zhenzhen with admiration, thinking that she had made a good choice in choosing this maid.
Although Zhenzhen looks a bit big and strong, she is stronger than an ordinary maid. Look, she can hold Cui'er down easily.
"I ask questions and you answer them. If you lie, I will beat you until you tell the truth." Jin Yulu stared at her coldly.
Cui'er was completely stunned. She had never seen such a noble lady before.
She cried and told what happened today.
I learned that Aunt Pan was here again, and this matter was most likely caused by her.
Jin Yulu sneered and took people to find Meng Shanchuan.
Meng Shanchuan was a little confused when he heard that his wife was looking for him.
Madam, aren't you busy right now? How come you have time to come and see him?
"Madam, did you miss me?" He approached with a playful smile.
Jin Yulu pulled him into the carriage with a cold face.
"Look at what stupid thing your good aunt has encouraged your mother to do again."
When Meng Shanchuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. What had happened?
When he heard what Cui'er said, he was so angry that his head hurt.
"My aunt is really too idle. No, I have to find someone to help my uncle. Otherwise, he might not know why he lost his job when he could have been promoted."
Meng Shanchuan was also furious.
Why can't my aunt see them getting along so well?
Seeing that Jin Yulu was still angry, Meng Shanchuan quickly softened his tone and tried to coax her.
"Don't be sad, Madam. I will definitely handle this matter beautifully. I will definitely help you regain the face you lost today tomorrow."
"Yeah." Jin Yulu nodded dejectedly.
If she had known there were so many problems in the Meng family, she would rather not have married.
…
"Are you back?" Mrs. Meng tossed and turned in bed.
Cui'er has been gone for so long, why hasn't she brought the person back yet? This shouldn't be right.
"Don't worry, Cui'er knows what to say." Aunt Pan comforted her.
She fanned herself leisurely, waiting for Jin Yulu to come back.
Later she will definitely teach that little girl who is disrespectful to her elders and has no sense of hierarchy a lesson.
"Madam, Cui'er is back." Another maid came forward to report with an embarrassed look on her face.
When Mrs. Meng heard this, she quickly lay back on the bed and pretended to be sick.
"I failed to complete the task assigned by Madam. Please forgive me." Cui'er knelt down, shedding tears.
"What's wrong with your face?" Aunt Pan looked surprised.
Why does this little maid's face look like it was hit?
"Did your young mistress hit you?" An incredible guess arose in her mind.
"What? She dares to hit people?" Mrs. Meng immediately sat up from the bed.
"I beat her. What's wrong with that? Is it not okay for me to beat up a maid who was causing trouble?" Meng Shanchuan pushed the door open and walked in.
"Chuan'er, why are you back?" Mrs. Meng was dumbfounded.
This is totally different from what she thought.
"My mother is sick, so I must go home to see her." Meng Shanchuan replied with a forced smile.
"That won't do. We can't delay your work. Mother's illness is minor. It's nothing serious." Mrs. Meng didn't dare to delay her son's military affairs.
"Since it's just a minor illness, why do you need to call Yu Lu back home? She's busy with her work over there." Meng Shanchuan's face turned cold.
"With so many maids, can't they serve you alone?"
"What do you mean? Which daughter-in-law doesn't take care of her mother-in-law when she is sick?" Mrs. Meng felt aggrieved.
"Chuan'er, I'm not saying anything mean to you, but you're too pampering to your wife. Your mother is sick, and as a filial daughter-in-law, she should take the initiative to take care of her. Now she doesn't even show up, isn't that too much?" Aunt Pan chimed in.
"Aunt, are you meddling too much? This is my family affair." Meng Shanchuan retorted directly.
Aunt Pan's face turned pale with anger: "Chuan'er, how can you talk like that? You don't even want your mother and aunt for your daughter-in-law, right?"
She put her hands on her waist and taught Meng Shanchuan the lesson in the manner of an elder.
"Chuan'er, hurry up and apologize to your aunt. Don't talk to your aunt like that." Mrs. Meng admonished her son.
Meng Shanchuan rolled his eyes and kept looking out the door.
When will the Pan family arrive?
Seeing his attitude, Aunt Pan became even angrier.
Before she could say a few more words, the Pan Mansion's butler arrived.
"Madam, please return home as soon as possible. The master has something urgent to discuss with you."
Finally here.
Meng Shanchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Pan was a little confused as to why the old man wanted to see her for no reason.
But she couldn't disobey her husband's orders, so she followed the housekeeper back.
Before leaving, she did not forget to vent her anger on Mrs. Meng.
"Liu Yuting, look at the well-educated son you have taught. If you don't let her sincerely apologize to her aunt, I will never come to your Meng family again." After saying this, she snorted and left with her hips twisted.
"Let's talk about it when you can go out in the future." Meng Shanchuan sneered and turned to look at his mother who was about to educate him.
"Mom, stop pretending. You're not sick at all."
Mrs. Meng's breath was stuck in her chest: "You, you... who said I'm not sick? I asked a doctor, and the doctor said I was sick."
"Okay, then you just stay sick." Meng Shanchuan was very disappointed with his mother.
Mr. Meng also arrived at this time. He had already learned the whole process from Jin Yulu.
Although he didn't like his daughter-in-law, he didn't intend to expose the embarrassment in his family.
The fool Madam actually asked the maid to go to the wine shop to find her daughter-in-law, and said that the two of them had a conflict.
Isn't this making the Meng family a laughing stock to outsiders?
If I push my daughter-in-law into a corner and tell others about Chuan'er's homosexuality, wouldn't that ruin Chuan'er's future?
The more Master Meng thought about it, the angrier he became. He said with a sullen face, "Since Madam is ill, the government subsidies in the mansion should be handed over to Aunt Wang to take care of."
"No!!!" Mrs. Meng suddenly became anxious.
"How can the power of housekeeper be handed over to a concubine?"
"There's no other way. My wife is ill, and my daughter-in-law is an official in the court and can't take care of the household. I can only let Aunt Wang share your worries." After saying this, Mr. Meng turned around and left.
Mrs. Meng never expected that she would actually shoot herself in the foot and her power as housekeeper was taken away from her.
She sat on the bed blankly, then covered her face and burst into tears.
Meng Shanchuan had no objection to this. In his opinion, his mother was just too idle. If she could just fight with Aunt Wang, she would have no time to pick on Yu Lu.
