She goes to bed earlier than Miss Biao at night, but can't get up in the morning... What else could it be but laziness?
She has no standards for herself at all. Does she really think being a rich socialite is so easy?
Ding Huizhu has always had high expectations for her children, but upon hearing this, she could only silently rub her temples.
Aunt Wan thoughtfully brought over some tea, saying, "Madam, please have some tea first."
Ding Huizhu took a sip of tea, and seeing the butler's hesitant expression, her face darkened: "Is there anything else?"
She had a bad feeling about it.
Sure enough, the butler quietly recounted what had just happened, then hesitated and said, "To be honest, we understand Miss Xie Li's intentions, but we would appreciate a definite answer from you, Madam, regarding what to do with this bag of sweet potatoes..."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Ding Huizhu's face, as if she had been slapped in the face and felt a burning pain.
She took a deep breath and whispered, "Throw it away. If Xie Li asks, just say I told you to throw it away."
It's just a bag of sweet potatoes, and they have the nerve to treat it like a treasure, asking Jiang Baili for 100,000 yuan?
She was a little annoyed. "She's being unreasonable. Don't spoil her."
The housekeeper responded and was about to go deal with it when Ding Huizhu called out to him, "Wait."
"What exactly happened last night?" she asked the housekeeper, frowning.
Yesterday, she was with Madam Huo, and when her family called, she was afraid of spoiling the mood, so she told Aunt Wan not to worry about it.
Little did she know, Xie Yunqiu then sent her a WeChat message: "Sister-in-law has truly given birth to a wonderful daughter for the Xie family."
She and her sister-in-law had never gotten along, and after Xie Yunqiu married into the Jiang family in the capital, she was even more prone to finding fault with her.
It was only in recent years, when her maternal family, the Ding family, prospered and established connections with the capital, that Xie Yunqiu gradually became less daring to be too presumptuous in front of her.
If these words were spoken by Xie Ziyuan, she would have taken it as Xie Yunqiu being sarcastic and accepted it as a matter of course, because Xie Ziyuan was outstanding enough.
But Xie Yunqiu said she gave birth, not raised, so she was obviously not referring to Xie Ziyuan, it could only be...
The thought of Xie Li's wretched appearance when he returned home made Ding Huizhu unable to sit still. She immediately ordered Wan Sao to call the Xie family's old house, but the servants' answers were incoherent and contradictory...
She couldn't sleep well all night because of this.
Upon hearing the butler succinctly recount the whole story, his face immediately darkened.
He slammed the teacup down on the coffee table and gritted his teeth, "You bastard, Xie Yunqiu!"
He paused, but made no other movement; his chest heaved violently, and his face looked pale.
Regardless of Xie Li's motives, Xie Yunqiu led his men directly into Xie Li's room, accusing Xie Li of being a thief, which was tantamount to robbery and going too far.
Does Xie Yunqiu even remember that she is a married woman? How dare she act so wildly in her own family home?
That's overreaching!
But she couldn't justify making a scene with Xie Yunqiu.
Xie Li looked like a monster. He had just asked Jiang Baili for 100,000 yuan. Even she didn't believe that Xie Li didn't have any ulterior motives at the time.
If this blows up, she'll be the one who loses face in the end.
Ding Huizhu's expression changed several times, and in the end she could only press her temples and wave her hand, "It's alright, let's leave it at that."
His gaze fell on the butler's head, and he paused for a moment. "Old Wu, yesterday... thank you for your hard work. Take good care of yourself these next few days and just ask me for anything you need."
"Xie Li just got home and doesn't know the rules yet, so she's bound to bump into things and run around randomly. Tell the servants to keep a close eye on her and restrain her so she can't touch things randomly."
The butler was stunned for a moment, then realized that Madam Xie had misunderstood that his injury from the painting was related to Xie Li.
