Chapter 57 Let’s Build a Small Kitchen
Chunxi brought Cao Wen back to the Marquis' Mansion and went to see Mrs. Mo first.
Mrs. Mo sat in the main seat, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and acted like a mother-in-law. Cao Wenben was already uneasy, and now he was even more frightened. He snuggled up to Chunxi, feeling extremely timid and cowardly.
A good boy was raised like this. You can imagine how shameful Chunxi's family is.
When she thought about Shen Qingyuan marrying such a girl as his second wife, Mrs. Mo felt much better and let Cao Wen stay without any difficulty.
Chunxi brought Cao Wen to express her gratitude. As soon as they left the main courtyard, Aunt Jia said coldly, "The young lady and the eldest young master have just gotten married, and they've already brought their own brother to live with them. This is truly inappropriate. It's only because our lady is kind-hearted. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid the young lady would have been kicked out too."
Nanny Jia helped Mrs. Mo manage the servants in the backyard. She spoke with a stern face and was quite intimidating, which scared Cao Wen a little.
Didn’t mother say that my sister was living a glorious life as the young lady of the Marquis’ Mansion? Why are the people in the Marquis’ Mansion so mean to my sister and want to kick her out?
He didn't want to get his sister kicked out.
Chunxi also showed a frightened expression and whispered, "Madam, your teaching is correct, but my mother has already said that she will no longer take care of my brother. If I don't take him with me, he will have nowhere to go. I will remember this kindness in my heart and will serve my mother wholeheartedly in the future."
Nanny Jia wanted Chunxi to be grateful to Madam Mo. She snorted and took the opportunity to say, "If the young lady is truly grateful to Madam, she should persuade the eldest young master to give Madam the dowry from the late Madam for safekeeping, so as not to damage the harmony between mother and son."
Chunxi nodded in agreement, but she said, "I have already advised you, sir, but when you were still unsure whether he was alive or dead, you rushed to set up a mourning hall at home. It really hurt you, sir."
The Mo family was not in the right in this matter, so it was only natural for Shen Qingyuan to take back his biological mother's dowry.
Jia Ma Ma didn't feel guilty, but instead scolded her harshly: "Madam is the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. How can the young lady criticize Madam behind her back?"
Mrs. Mo hoped that everyone would quickly forget about this matter, and naturally did not want anyone to mention it again.
Chunxi was not frightened and whispered, "Mammy, these are what the adults told me."
"Even if it was the eldest young master who said it, the young lady shouldn't keep mentioning it," Nanny Jia glared at Chunxi and warned her, then softened her tone and said, "The eldest young master has been married three times and has no children. The young lady should stay out of his business and start a new family for the Marquisate as soon as possible."
Nanny Jia didn't dare mention the dowry again, and Chunxi said obediently, "Mammy is right."
In order to better control Chunxi, Aunt Jia did not let Cao Wen live in Wenxin Courtyard, but let him live in the servants' room next to her, under the pretext of making it easier to look after him.
Chunxi seemed completely unaware of her intentions and said with gratitude, "Thank you for your concern, Madam."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Sister, don't leave me alone."
Cao Wen wanted to follow, but was caught by Aunt Jia: "Young Madam and the eldest young master are newlyweds and cannot be disturbed. Young master, once you enter the Marquis' Mansion, you must abide by the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. Do you understand?"
Nanny Jia was very strong and her expression was serious and scary. Cao Wen felt like crying and struggled even harder. Nanny Jia did not really treat him as a young master and slapped him on the butt.
"Young Master, you look about ten years old already. Don't you know that you should answer your elders obediently?"
Nanny Jia has trained countless maids and servants over the years, so it is easy for her to control Cao Wen.
After a while, Cao Wen learned the rules of the Marquis' Mansion and replied with tears in his eyes: "Mammy, Awen understands. Awen will definitely abide by the rules in the future."
"Good boy."
Aunt Jia praised him with a forced smile and took Cao Wen to the servants' room which had not been occupied for a long time.
The room was covered with dust, but Aunt Jia didn't ask anyone to clean it. Instead, she sent Cao Wen to fetch water to mop the floor and windows. Cao Wen was so tired that he burst into tears. After being beaten twice by Aunt Jia, he even cried very carefully.
Looking at Cao Wen's small figure busying around, Aunt Jia felt that the frustration of being dragged by Chunxi to clean the warehouse yesterday was finally swept away.
The young lady herself handed her her weakness, so she would not be polite.
In the Wenxin Courtyard, Shen Qingyuan saw Chunxi coming back alone and asked the same question: "Aren't you afraid that Aunt Jia will be rude to your brother?"
Chunxi said without hesitation: "What are you afraid of? When I was his age, I sold myself to the Wei family as a maid. At least Aunt Jia still called him "Young Master."
With Shen Qingyuan around, Aunt Jia didn't dare to really hurt Cao Wen. At most, she would let him suffer a little.
It's time for him to suffer a little.
Otherwise, if you just believe whatever others say, when you grow up you will not only be unmanly but also brainless.
I was just hungry after drinking some chicken soup, so Chunxi asked the kitchen to cook noodles before coming back.
The noodles arrived quickly. Chunxi didn't care about the heat and ate them in big mouthfuls. Shen Qingyuan looked at her thoughtfully for a while and asked, "Were you scared when you first arrived at the Wei family?"
"What are you afraid of? I have inherited my father's true teachings. Who dares to bully me?"
Chunxi spoke unclearly while eating noodles.
Shen Qingyuan couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed Chunxi's head.
During the years when he was not involved, the little girl in front of him suffered a lot, but she never mentioned a word.
Shen Qingyuan's movements were very gentle. Chunxi swallowed the noodles in her mouth, tilted her head and said to him, "Sir, let's build a small kitchen in the yard. When you come back, you can eat the meals I cook."
The big kitchen is too far away from here, and the cook is in charge of all the affairs, so it is inconvenient for her to cook.
Shen Qingyuan withdrew his hand and said solemnly, "Okay."
At the same time, the Cao family.
After sending the doctor away, Cao Wu walked into Wang's room with a sullen face: "The doctor said that mother is fine. Don't pretend. Come with me to the Marquis' Mansion to bring Ah Wen back."
"I won't go! Ah Xi is Ah Wen's biological sister. Now that she's married into the Marquis' Mansion, it's her responsibility to help her brother."
"Ah Xi doesn't even have a dowry, and she's going to be a second wife. Mother only cares about Ah Wen, and doesn't she think about how Ah Xi will live in the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Why are you yelling? She's been smart since she was little. She's been doing well as a maid in the Wei family all these years. How could she be any worse off as a young lady in the Marquis's Mansion?"
Cao Wu just raised his voice a little, and Wang started yelling directly, as if overwhelming Cao Wu with her momentum would prove that she was right.
Cao Wu's eyes were filled with disappointment. He stopped trying to persuade her and turned to go out to pick up Cao Wen. However, just after taking two steps, he heard Wang's roar: "If you dare to take your brother back, I will crash into your father's grave and die!"
Cao Wu was shocked all over and could not step out of the house. He returned to his room, hugged his son and cried.
Wang was also wiping tears in the room, but she was more happy.
Although Ah Wu looks fierce, he is actually the softest-hearted person. Although Ah Xi is tough in words, he has a good heart.
Since Ah Xi has brought Ah Wen to the Marquis' Mansion, he will definitely let Ah Wen live the life of a rich young master with fine clothes and delicious food!
