Ye Qin was not surprised at all that Xiaohe was here. Someone came from the East Courtyard in the morning and originally wanted Aunt He to go over to help, but Xiaohe took the initiative to offer to go in Aunt He's place.
Aunt He originally felt that it was inappropriate, thinking that Xiaohe was clumsy. Those who came today were relatives and close friends of the Wei and Wu families, and it would be bad if something went wrong.
But when he thought about Xiao He's recent attitude towards Wei Chen and Ye Qin, he agreed, but he couldn't avoid giving them some instructions.
Aunt He was a soft-hearted person. Although she had many complaints about Xiao He and even said many reproachful words to him, this girl had come to her for help after all, so she couldn't completely ignore her.
Xiao He made a noise while serving the soup, which soon aroused the displeasure of the housekeeper Zhu Xiang, who glared at him fiercely.
In the past, Xiao He was most afraid of Zhu Xiang. Whenever he glared at her like that, she would panic and not know what to do, fearing that she would be kicked out.
However, this time she acted as if she didn't see it and continued to work fearlessly.
Because the host and guests were present, Zhu Xiang could not scold Xiao He, but he was also very angry at Xiao He's attitude.
Ye Qin saw all this and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What are you doing standing there?" Old Madam Wu said calmly, addressing Ye Qin.
Xiao He pushed the dining cart with the soup in front of Ye Qin and looked at her with sarcasm in his eyes, "Madam, do you need me to teach you?"
Xiao He called her "Young Madam" particularly loudly.
After hearing this, all the members of the Wei and Wu families who were present to attend the ceremony looked at Ye Qin with different expressions on their faces.
Basically, the Wei family thinks Ye Qin is shameful, and the Wu family thinks Ye Qin is ridiculous.
In fact, Wei Chengzhi also had objections to the fact that Old Lady Wu let Ye Qin work as a servant.
Although he didn't like Ye Qin, she was his eldest daughter-in-law after all. He could choose not to see her or ignore her if he didn't like her. However, asking her to do the work of a servant would be a slap in the face of the Wei family.
But the other party was Old Lady Wu, an elder whom he had always and must respect, so he did not refuse.
Wei Chengzhi knew that Mrs. Wu did this because she was influenced by what Hu Ling and Wang Meisha had said before. She believed that Wu Mei had been wronged by Ye Qin, so she wanted to help her daughter educate the younger generation.
But in the final analysis, Old Lady Wu did this to warn Wei Chengzhi, with the purpose of telling him that Wu Mei had been wronged in your Wei family.
Wei Chengzhi understood this point, and Ye Qin also saw it clearly. After all, she was not here before, and almost everyone here didn't even bother to see her, so how could they say anything good about her in front of the two elders of the Wu family?
She was not angry with Old Lady Wu. After all, Wu Mei was her daughter, and it was natural for a mother to stand up for her daughter.
However, no matter whether she was angry or not, she couldn't do this work in vain.
Besides, she hadn't intended to do it for nothing.
Therefore, Ye Qin acted very calm in the face of Xiao He's obviously sarcastic and provocative words. She directly picked up the soup from the dining cart and placed it in front of Mrs. Wu in a proper manner.
The movement was very steady, without any collision sound throughout the process. When the soup bowl was put down, there was not even a slight fluctuation in the soup inside.
Xiao He looked at Ye Qin in surprise. From what he had observed during this time, hadn't he known this woman for not wanting to be wronged or bow down? Last time, she'd even beaten Wang Meisha and Zhu Xiang, so why was she so obedient today, not even frowning at her provocation?
