Chapter 435 Showdown
Zhao Tingduo walked over and sniffed it, then exclaimed exaggeratedly, "What a nice smell! I'm going to eat ten bowls of rice again today!"
Xiao An was stunned. If Brother A Shi eats like this, will it not be enough?
Mrs. Wu Ya was amused by her son: "When did you eat ten bowls?"
Aunt Qi smiled and rubbed her forehead: "Marriage should be steady, why is Ah Shi becoming more and more naughty?"
Song Liyun smiled, feeling warm in her heart. After one month of marriage, she was happy every day.
Several people were laughing together when Aunt Xu, who was standing by, said, "Madam, may we have dinner?"
Madam Wu Ya finally stopped laughing and nodded to Aunt Xu, "Alright, let's serve the soup first!"
Aunt Xu hurriedly asked someone to bring the soup over.
Song Liyun sat down next to Madam Wu Ya and frowned slightly as she watched the people carrying dishes come in one after another.
During this period, she and Madam Wu Ya only had a few maids serving them, and none of the noble ladies or maids came.
But today, Tang Qingluan and her two companions were the first to serve the dishes, followed by a few maids.
Not only did Song Liyun notice something was wrong, Madam Wu Ya also frowned. She just didn't want to make everyone unhappy, so she said lightly: "Madam Xu, why did you let these girls come over to serve the dishes today? You must have been traveling hard, you should rest more!"
Nanny Xu smiled apologetically and said, "Madam, it is out of kindness that you let us servants rest more. We cannot take advantage of your kindness and act recklessly.
I've been resting for almost a month. If I continue like this, I don't know how lazy I'll become.
If the Duke of Anguo knew about this, he would definitely punish our families!"
When the Duke of Anguo was mentioned, Madam Wuya stopped talking. She only exchanged glances with Song Liyun before nodding and saying, "Okay then! Let them come and serve!"
The atmosphere in the tent relaxed, and Aunt Xu signaled the maids to serve food and soup to the people.
However, Tang Qingluan and others could not do these things, so they stood at the back tactfully, and the maids were still the ones who served the dishes.
At the dinner table, no one spoke, only the clinking of spoons and dishes could be heard.
The maids held out their chopsticks and placed pieces of vegetables and meat onto everyone's plate.
No one at the table was used to being served, so they just ate whatever they wanted, chewing the meat with their hands and enjoying themselves.
Madam Wu Ya and Song Liyun are both adults and can still bear it.
Little Anke couldn't stand it and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing! This is braised rabbit cubes, how can I eat it if you put the chili in the bowl... Hey hey! I really like that piece of meat, why did you drop it!"
The maid who served him the food apologized in a flustered manner and wanted to serve Zhao Tingduo some food as well.
Xiao An finally couldn't help but pushed her away: "Go stand aside, you're annoying!"
After saying that, he snatched the spoon from the maid and scooped a big spoonful for Zhao Tingduo and Song Liyun.
"Brother Ashi, try these diced rabbit. They are so delicious when chewed dry."
"Second sister, try it too, it's delicious!"
After serving the two of them some food, he also wanted to serve some food to Madam Wuya and Aunt Qi.
Madam Wu Ya smiled and said, "Xiao An, you still need to grow, so eat more and don't worry about us!"
Xiao An sat down obediently, then turned to Aunt Xu and said, "Aunt Xu, please ask these sisters to leave!
They stare at our meat like wolves on the grassland, and I can't even enjoy my meal."
He had encountered a pack of wolves on the road. Their green eyes were staring at people. His second sister said that they meant they wanted to eat people.
He felt that the sisters standing behind him who were staring at him also had green eyes.
If they don't eat people, they will definitely steal their own flesh.
As soon as Xiao An finished speaking, Tang Qingluan and the others who were glancing at the dining table suddenly became embarrassed and annoyed. They turned around and ran out of the tent, leaving the three maids at a loss.
This was not the temper a maid should have, and Madam Wu Ya's face immediately darkened.
Aunt Xu was originally anxious when she saw that Madam Uya was indifferent to these noble ladies who had dressed up specially.
At this time, when he heard Xiao An say that several noble ladies were like hungry wolves trying to grab meat, and saw Tang Qingluan and others running away rudely, his face turned red with anger.
However, she came from the palace and was the head nanny, so naturally she would not be furious.
What we need now is to find a reason for Tang Qingluan and others as soon as possible. If they are punished, we don’t know what the consequences will be.
She half-knelt in front of Madam Wuya and said aggrievedly, "Madam, we servants are here to serve our masters.
But these days, the masters neither allow him to serve tea and meals nor to stand guard at night.
Please tell me what we did wrong. If the Queen Mother or the Duke of Anguo ask about it later, I will have an explanation."
Aunt Xu was indeed a woman who came from the palace fighting. She changed the subject and said that Tang Qingluan and the others' impoliteness became a grievance, and the responsibility still lay with Madam Wuya.
It has been almost a month, and although there is food and drink, Aunt Xu has also restricted the ladies from causing any trouble.
But today Tang Qingluan said that Wan Youyou stopped the young master's cavalry and spoke to him privately.
Aunt Xu also began to think that it would not be good to be left out like this all the time. She should also find some opportunities for these noble ladies to show up.
I didn't expect that after finally persuading my wife to stay and serve dinner, I was scolded by that kid. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make a name for myself in the future.
She simply brought the matter out and made it clear so that she could know where the problem lay!
Madam Wu Ya said calmly, “Madam Xu, although I am not a subject of the Wu Dynasty, I also understand the etiquette and rules.
You are someone close to the Queen Mother and have come from thousands of miles away. The Wuda tribe should treat you as an honored guest.
As for those palace maids...
You also said that the daughters of those criminals were the "dowries" sent by Duke Anguo, and they were left to the tribe to deal with them. Of course, my daughter-in-law has the final say.
You've already worked hard to bring me here, so you don't need to worry about the rest, unless... Madam considers herself as a dowry too!"
Aunt Xu smiled awkwardly. She didn't know how to respond. It was wrong to say that she was a dowry, but it was also wrong to say that she was not a dowry. "Madam, you are too polite. How do you arrange for a maid? Of course..."
Song Liyun said, "Mother, these disobedient servants are too expensive for my daughter-in-law to use. It's better for you to take care of them!"
Hearing what the two said, Aunt Xu's smile froze on her face.
Originally, Nanny Xu thought that Madam Uya would treat her politely for the sake of the Empress Dowager and Duke Anguo.
As for those noble ladies, they were gifts from the palace and were the dowries of her daughter-in-law, so it was not appropriate for Madam Uya to interfere.
As a new bride, Song Liyun wanted to leave an impression of magnanimity in front of her mother-in-law and husband, so she couldn't care less about adding a few maids.
In this way, with the title of Empress Dowager as her "dowry", she would have more space and opportunities to maneuver between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
But at this time, Madam Uya removed herself from the "dowry" in person, and said that she should be treated as a distinguished guest and not care about her daughter-in-law's maid.
Song Liyun also said that these maids were disobedient and should be taken in by Madam Wu Ya.
The two of them were not polite at all when they spoke.
Aunt Xu's head was buzzing, she felt that she was in trouble!
In the palace, no matter whether they are palace maids or concubines, all women are reincarnated lotus root spirits. They are full of eight hundred minds and have to consider every word and action three hundred times.
Even if they are fighting each other to the death, they still say nice things to save face.
