Because Master Meng and his wife were to be buried early the next morning, the main hall was very noisy that night.
The servants knelt down and wept spontaneously, as if they wanted to let all the worries and fears of the past few days flow out with their tears.
Ma Bao and his wife, Hu, never appeared once from beginning to end, but their complaints could be heard from afar.
One minute the servants here don't respect them, the next they complain that the main hall is too noisy and they can't get a proper rest.
He offended everyone with his wicked words.
Later that evening, a servant came to complain.
"My great-uncle wants the kitchen staff to make them a midnight snack; he wants roast duck and roast suckling pig!"
“I explained to them that there was nowhere to buy these things at this time, but they went crazy in the yard and even smashed several valuable vases.”
"He also said... he also said he'd go to the yamen tomorrow morning to file a complaint, accusing the young mistress of abusing her elders!"
Wei Wei had just returned from the lobby.
Although I didn't do anything physically demanding, I felt exhausted all over.
After changing into some lighter clothes to get some fresh air, Xiaoyue was about to massage her legs and feet.
The servant arrived looking aggrieved.
Hearing this, she wasn't angry; instead, she gave a knowing smile.
"Since they want to eat it, you should think of a way to get it."
"Take more money and hire a chef from outside to cook, and buy back everything they want."
Upon hearing this, the servant looked incredulous, and for a moment thought he had gone deaf and misheard.
Even Xiaoyue'er's hands slowed down, and she looked at her in confusion: "Miss, if you give in to them in everything, won't the entire Meng family be turned upside down by them?"
Wei Wei smiled and said, "The two of them can't turn the world upside down, so just do as I say."
The people in the Meng household were in a flurry of activity, but they still managed to serve all the food the guests wanted to the table.
Ma Bao's greed grew rapidly.
They thought Wei Wei was afraid, afraid that they would go to the prefect for support, and afraid that she had been threatened by the prefect again.
They thought that the young mistress of the Meng family was just a person made of clay, someone who could be easily fooled.
They discussed how to go even further, how to make Wei Wei more terrified, so that she would dare not go west.
In this way, the Meng family mansion fell completely into their hands!
Just thinking about this huge mansion, the throngs of servants, and the storerooms piled high with gold and silver treasures makes my heart surge with excitement and my heart itch with anticipation!
Thinking this way, my appetite became unusually large.
All the food piled up on the table ended up in their stomachs!
This was probably the best meal they had ever had.
So beautiful it's unreal, so beautiful it's almost bubbly.
"Is it tasty?"
Just as she was comfortably lying in the chair, rubbing her belly and imagining how rich and powerful they would be in the future, she heard a voice coming from outside the door.
When I looked up, I saw Wei Wei walking in.
A smile played on her lips, though she had lost a lot of weight from the exertion of the past few days.
But that couldn't hide her beauty.
A malicious glint suddenly flashed in Ma Bao's cloudy eyes.
If he could get his hands on this young mistress Meng...
I'd wake up laughing even in my dreams.
Wei Wei seemed to sense his gaze, and her eyes also fell on him.
"Uncle, are you satisfied with everything in this courtyard?"
Ma Bao grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth, which looked quite disgusting.
"It's not bad, but the only drawback is that there aren't enough people to serve it."
He said, "It would be even better if you could have a few more of those maids come in to serve us."
The way you're saying that, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue and getting struck by lightning?
Wei Wei gave a mocking laugh: "Uncle certainly knows how to enjoy life. The Meng family isn't as glamorous as you all see it now."
Ma Bao didn't believe it. He stuck his finger into his mouth, pulled out a few scraps of food, glanced at them, and then popped them back into his mouth, smacking his lips twice. He said, "Granddaughter-in-law, don't lie to me. I've found out. The Meng family is one of the wealthiest families in Loucheng!"
His actions were so disgusting that Xiaoyue and Xiaoqiao felt a churning in their stomachs and almost vomited.
They simply couldn't believe that the Meng family had encountered such repulsive people!
Even though Wei Wei was calm enough, her eyes couldn't help but twitch a few times.
It's simply unbearable to look at!
Her gaze fell on the broken porcelain in the corner that hadn't been cleaned up yet, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
"These are all valuable items worth over a hundred taels of silver, and they've been broken like this."
"Uncle, we can't do this."
Ma Bao and Madam Hu stared at the pile of fragments, their eyes wide: "You're saying these are worth several hundred taels?"
"Those vile things didn't tell us anything!"
Mrs. Hu appeared extremely agitated: "These people are so wicked! So wicked!"
Ma Bao chuckled and comforted her, "What are you afraid of? My sister has plenty more at home, you can look at them to your heart's content!"
Wei Wei calmly sat down opposite them, her eyes showing disapproval: "Uncle, you're wrong to say that."
“These are my belongings. If someone breaks them, they have to pay for them.”
Ma Bao picked his nose: "Compensate? Granddaughter-in-law, aren't you going too far? If this causes another dispute and disturbs my sister's spirit in heaven, then it will be your fault."
A blatant threat.
Did she really think she was afraid of the prefect? Did she really think she had become the master of the Meng family?
Wei Wei was a little unhappy.
"Uncle, please don't frighten me. I'm weak and can't be frightened."
Ma Bao smiled smugly, his gaze falling on the two maids behind her.
She has a good appearance; she's plump where she should be and slim where she should be.
She doesn't look much worse than this cheap daughter-in-law.
"Sigh, those two maids behind you are quite nice! Give one to your uncle, and he won't mind."
Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Qiao'er's expressions changed instantly; they felt extremely disgusted.
I wanted to rush up and slap him to death!
Hu, who had been lying down listening to them talk, jumped up from her seat and pointed angrily at Ma Bao: "You old bastard, how dare you look down on me! Are you looking for death?!"
Then he turned to Xiaoqiao and Xiaoyue and cursed, "You two little sluts who only know how to seduce men!"
"I'll tear you all apart!"
He was about to rush forward after saying that.
Ma Bao reacted quickly and hugged her from behind: "I was just kidding, I was just kidding!"
Hu stopped what she was doing, panting heavily.
But his gaze toward the two of them remained unfriendly, and his words were even more venomous: "I say, granddaughter-in-law, you know you can't keep servants who seduce men around."
"Be careful, if you keep them together, they'll become sisters!"
The smile on Wei Wei's face had vanished.
Her gaze was heavy as she looked at the two annoying men and women in front of her and gritted her teeth.
I originally wanted to be gentler with them, but unfortunately, these two are courting death!
