Chapter 28 Zhang comes out
"Miss? What's wrong with you? You've been in a daze all day and your face is still so red? Do you have a fever?" Ai Ye, who had been observing Wen Yingxue for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Zi Su, who knew the inside story, covered her mouth and laughed, and decided to tell Nie Chubai what Wen Yingxue looked like today.
"Ah? Oh, I just feel a little hot today." Wen Yingxue stammered.
Ai Ye looked at the overcast sky outside and tilted his head.
Wen Yingxue also looked up at the sky and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. At this moment, Jiuer came in.
"Miss, someone is coming from the Madam's family." Jiuer said.
Wen Yingxue was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Who's here? Have you heard why they're here?"
"It's the madam's sister-in-law. I asked around and heard that it's the wife of Lord Zhang who's planning to have a sixtieth birthday party and came to invite her."
Wen Yingxue stood up. It seemed that Zhang would be released soon. Even if Old Man Wen was angry, he would not slap Zhang and the Zhang family in the face at this time.
"I understand. You go down first." Jiuer went down as she was told.
"Miss, once the Madam comes out, I'm afraid we will have no good days anymore." Ai Ye said worriedly.
"Don't be afraid. The young lady is protected by the secret guards sent by the master. She will be absolutely fine." Zi Su comforted Ai Ye. She was 100% confident in the people arranged by Nie Chubai.
"The one with the biggest headache right now is not us, but Aunt Yang," said Wen Yingxue.
Aunt Yang finally got the right to be the housekeeper, but before she had even had a few days of service, she was asked to give it back. She must be very angry now.
As Wen Yingxue expected, Aunt Yang came to Wen Yingxue's Xuemei Courtyard in the afternoon.
"Why are you here, Aunt?" Wen Yingxue smiled and welcomed Aunt Yang into the house.
As soon as Aunt Yang entered the room, she said straight to the point, "Sixth Miss, the Madam is about to come out."
"I already know." Wen Yingxue said.
Seeing Wen Yingxue's indifferent expression, Concubine Yang couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "Sixth Miss, once the Madam comes out and demands the housekeeper's rights back, then life will be difficult for you and Concubine Lian.
You're fine, you're getting married soon, but what about Aunt Lian? "
Wen Yingxue nodded in her heart. As expected of a person who had been in the Wen Mansion for more than ten years and had been constantly honored and favored, he knew what Wen Yingxue cared about most.
"What are you going to do then, Auntie?" Wen Yingxue looked up at Auntie Yang and asked.
"It is inevitable that Madam will come out, but the housekeeper's power cannot fall back into her hands."
Wen Yingxue nodded, then smiled and said, "Since Auntie said so, then she must have an idea in mind. I wonder what Auntie wants to do?"
Aunt Yang smiled. Talking to smart people makes you less worried.
"Miss Six, there's no need for you to do anything. I just want to borrow your name. General Nie has already sent someone to discuss the wedding date today. I can use the fact that the Madam is not on good terms with you and won't properly arrange your wedding as an excuse. For the sake of face, the Master won't hand over the housekeeper's power to the Madam." Aunt Yang said.
Wen Yingxue was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously looked at Zi Su. Nie Chubai sent someone here today? How could she not know?
Zi Su, who was being looked at, shook her head. She had been following Wen Yingxue these days and had not received any news.
"Sixth Miss?" Aunt Yang called out nervously when she saw that Wen Yingxue's expression looked a little strange.
"Well, since Auntie has made up her mind, then let's do it. Auntie, General Nie is here to discuss the wedding date. I wonder when it will be set?" Wen Yingxue came back to her senses and asked Auntie Yang.
Aunt Yang laughed, thinking Wen Yingxue was anxious to get married. She said, "General Nie sent the housekeeper over and said the wedding is set for August 28th."
It's mid-April now, and it will be almost four months until August 28th, Wen Yingxue thought.
Seeing Wen Yingxue was silent again, Concubine Yang waited for a moment and said, "Sixth Miss, I've said before that as long as I'm in charge of the household, I'll definitely take good care of Concubine Lian. I also hope that after you get married, you'll speak well of me to the master."
"Don't worry about this, Aunt." Wen Yingxue said. She would eventually take Aunt Lian with her, but it was okay to agree to Aunt Yang now. At least, they were now on the same front.
Every day that Aunt Yang was the housekeeper, Zhang would feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing Zhang feel sick, Wen Yingxue also felt happy.
Aunt Yang got the answer she wanted and immediately stood up to say goodbye. In the evening, she pulled Old Man Wen over for a chat.
It should have been more than just a long talk. In any case, the next day, Old Man Wen went to court in high spirits, while Aunt Yang slept until noon.
Three days later, Zhang's courtyard was officially unsealed. The happiest person in the entire mansion was Wen Rouqing.
As soon as she got the news, she came to Xuemeiyuan to cause trouble, but she was driven out by Zisu before she even saw Wen Yingxue.
The next day, Zhang resumed her greetings. All the concubines, young ladies, and young masters gathered in Zhang's main courtyard again.
Zhang sat at the top with a cold face. She was dressed exquisitely in a red dress with gold-sprinkled peony flowers. She looked graceful, luxurious and dignified.
However, there were still some dark circles under his eyes, and he looked not as plump as before, but rather haggard.
"Yingxue, what happened before was all a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I hope Yingxue won't hold a grudge against me." Zhang looked at Wen Yingxue and said, her face hesitant but her eyes full of resentment.
"My daughter doesn't dare." Wen Yingxue said lightly.
Zhang glared at her and stopped talking. Her words today were just polite remarks, meant to be heard by Father Wen.
"Aunt Lian, these days, everyone in the mansion has been busy, thanks to you. Now that I'm out, I'll ask Madam Xu to get the account books and matching cards later. You just need to have a good rest." Zhang said to Aunt Yang again.
Aunt Yang stood up and said with a smile, "Madam, once you left, the housekeeper's power should have been returned to you. However, the Sixth Miss's wedding is approaching, and the master has entrusted this matter to me. What do you think we should do?"
As she spoke, Aunt Yang looked at Old Man Wen who was standing beside Zhang, and secretly cast a coquettish glance at him.
Zhang turned to look at Old Man Wen, with resentment in her eyes.
Father Wen received the signal from Concubine Yang and said to Zhang: "Yes, Xue'er and General Nie's marriage has been decided. Concubine Yang should take care of the preparation of the dowry. We can discuss the housekeeping matters after Xue'er gets married."
Zhang's nose was almost crooked with anger, and the concubine who was looking down at her had a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
What Old Man Wen meant by this was almost as if he was pointing at Zhang's nose and saying, "You framed Wen Yingxue before. Who knows if she will sincerely prepare a dowry for her? Just forget it."
Zhang looked at Wen Yingxue, then at Aunt Yang who was pretending to be respectful. She was almost angry to death, but she didn't show it.
"Yes, I will listen to you, Master." Zhang squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth.
