This maid must have played a big role in the fact that grandma didn't know that she had been bullied in the past.
But since grandma had spoken, the maid could only go to the storehouse and retrieve the box of jewelry and give it to Chu Weiyue.
After counting the things inside, she found that everything was there. Chu Weiyue felt relieved. She felt that she had done something worthwhile for the original owner!
"Grandma, the crabapple blossoms in the mansion are in bloom, and there are all kinds of colors. Let's go and see them together." Chu Weiyue took her grandmother's arm and took the initiative to invite her.
Grandma lives a secluded life and has always been obsessed with growing orchids. She hardly goes out. After hearing what Chu Weiyue said, she immediately became interested and took the initiative to suggest going for a walk outside the Marquis' Mansion.
The brother and sister surrounded their grandmother and left the mansion through the back door.
The other side.
When Song heard the news reported by the maid, her face instantly darkened to the extreme. How could it be such a coincidence that she was sent back just after being sent to grandma?
If the jewels were kept with her, she could say they were lost and drag her feet on giving them back, so that the matter would eventually be dropped. Or she could take the opportunity to keep a few items for herself and use the excuse that she had given them to the Marquis.
The Marquis had many friends, and when some of them married concubines or their children reached the full moon, etc., they all had to send gifts. She had always been in charge of this matter, and she used this excuse to get away with it. She was sure to keep a few valuable items, and the Marquis would not be able to check what she had sent.
But it was sent to grandma. It is definitely easier to ask for things from the old lady than from her!
She was so panicked and at a loss at the time that she ended up losing both her wife and her army.
Thinking of Meixiang who gave her advice, Song's face turned completely dark and she immediately asked someone to call her over.
Meixiang looked arrogant and had no respect for the Song family at all. Her collar was a little messy.
"Mei Xiang, let me ask you, why did you deliberately give me that idea? You are a smart girl, I don't believe you don't know that the old lady is easy to deceive. You asked me to send it to her place, just to make it easier for the brother and sister to take it back. What are you thinking? What benefits did that bitch Chu Weiyue give you?"
Because she was extremely angry, she poked Meixiang's forehead hard, raised her hand and slapped her hard in the face.
He cursed and twisted her flesh: "You little bitch who is a traitor, I will make sure you don't know how to recognize your master, I will make sure you don't know... I will beat you to death..."
Meixiang dodged and screamed, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Song back hard.
"Ouch!"
Song was weak and was no match for Meixiang. She fell to the ground with the pearls and hair on her head tilted.
That delicate face was immediately filled with anger: "You actually dare to fight back, do you believe that I will punish you according to my family rules?"
Meixiang snorted like a dead pig, and glanced at her arrogantly: "Madam, you are not young anymore, do you think you are still qualified to deal with me? In terms of looks, you are at most a middle-aged woman, while I am young and beautiful..."
"Bah! Don't you even look at yourself? Are you worthy enough to compete with me?" Song was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Meixiang was greatly humiliated and pointed at her nose angrily: "Why am I not worthy? You are just a concubine. When the Marquis marries me, we will be equals!"
"To tell you the truth, I followed the Marquis a year ago. I have been hers for a long time!"
"What did you say?"
Song was stunned as if she was struck by lightning.
Thinking of the ambiguous way Meixiang and the Marquis were always flirting, he realized belatedly that he had created many opportunities for them to be alone together...
"You..." Song's chest rose and fell with anger: "How dare you do such a shameful thing? I will sell you to a brothel now! Since you like being a whore and like men, I will let you live a life of having your arms rubbed by thousands of people every day!"
"The Marquis will not agree to this, how dare you!"
"See if I dare!"
Song was so angry that she yelled a few words and had Meixiang taken to the Marquis' residence.
Seeing such a farce, the Marquis immediately understood everything.
Meixiang looked at the Marquis with tears in her eyes: "Marquis, didn't you say you would give Meixiang a legitimate status? Please save me quickly, the old woman Song wants to sell me to a brothel!"
Seeing the Marquis's evasive gaze, almost everyone present could see clearly that they were indeed having an affair.
Song was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she still suppressed her anger and slapped Meixiang a few times: "Shut up, you slut! The Marquis has always been honest and upright. He is busy with official duties every day. How could he have time to have an improper relationship with a slut like you? You dare to tarnish the Marquis's reputation, so it is only right for me to send you to a brothel!"
"My Lord, it is my fault for not disciplining the girl. I actually let her throw dirty water on you in order to avenge me. I believe in the character of the Lord. There is no way I can look down on such a lowly and vulgar girl, so I am guilty..."
With red eyes, she knelt at the Marquis's feet to apologize.
As a result, all the pressure was put back on the Marquis, and his face instantly turned dark.
Meixiang was so charming and seductive that she always made him intoxicated and happy. He was indeed very satisfied with her. However, Song's words just now made him feel ashamed. If he continued to defend Meixiang, his reputation in front of the servants would be completely lost.
This matter will certainly get out, and then he will be the laughing stock of the whole capital. How can he hold his head up among the dignitaries? A man's dignity is much more important than a woman's!
The Marquis did not dare to look at Meixiang, and stood up indifferently: "This is just a small matter. The clear ones are clear and the turbid ones are turbid. There is no need for this Marquis to say anything more. You can handle it as you see fit."
Meixiang looked at the Marquis in despair. She couldn't believe that the man who had been close to her for such a long time could be such a heartless person!
"My Lord, how could you treat Meixiang like this? You said it yourself that you wanted Meixiang to be yours and that you wanted to marry Meixiang..."
Meixiang rushed over and grabbed the Marquis's clothes tightly, refusing to let go.
The Marquis felt like he was splashed with mud and tried to push Meixiang away, but Meixiang kept pestering him.
Song was so angry that she was about to explode. She grabbed Meixiang and pushed her to the ground, then kicked her hard in the heart and stomach several times.
The yard was filled with the sound of Meixiang crying, but the Marquis sat aside with a grim expression, turning a deaf ear to her.
Finally, fearing that it would be even more embarrassing, he casually ordered, "Stop beating him, just send him away. A servant who defiles his master like this cannot be kept in the mansion."
He found an excuse to be busy with work and strode out of the yard.
The other side.
Chu Weiyue and Chu Lingfeng had returned with their grandmother. They were wandering around the courtyard in the front hall, listening for any noises.
According to Song's temperament, she would be furious if she knew that the jewels were taken back by her. If she got angry, the maid would definitely suffer.
