Seeing Zheng Ma leave, Ning Yimeng's face suddenly fell.
She grew up reading people's faces and could tell at a glance that Zheng Ma didn't like her at all.
Sure enough, just because her surname was not Pei, the entire Pei family disliked her.
If it weren't for the fact that the dress had used up almost all of her savings and she wasn't being urged by her grandmother and father to send money home to buy a house for her brother, she wouldn't have been willing to come here and have to face the face of a servant.
Besides, her grandmother was a smart person and had told her a long time ago not to have any contact with her father's side. But they were her father and grandmother after all, and she just wanted to get their approval once, just once.
So how should I ask for money without being discovered by my grandmother and still have her give her the money?
While thinking hard, he added a large spoonful of salt.
When Ning Yimeng came back to her senses, the chicken soup had overflowed from the pot and was all over Yantai. She quickly turned off the fire and opened the lid of the pot, but saw that there was very little chicken soup left.
She wanted to call for help, but there was no one outside the small kitchen.
There is only one possibility in this situation, that is, Mrs. Pei has returned and everyone has gone to greet her.
"You call me Miss all the time to my face and didn't even tell me that grandma was coming back. You really look down on me!" Ning Yimeng was both embarrassed and annoyed.
She poured the remaining chicken soup directly into the soup bowl, filled it with boiling water, stirred it, added a large spoonful of chicken essence, and carried it out the door, heading towards Mrs. Pei's room.
Seeing Housekeeper Zhu standing at the door of Old Madam Pei's room from afar, Ning Yimeng was delighted and quickly stepped forward with a sweet smile: "Housekeeper Zhu, I heard that grandma is back, so I specially made chicken soup for her. Grandma is in there, right?"
Butler Zhu also smiled, but reached out to stop Ning Yimeng.
"Miss Ning is so filial. The old lady is indeed in there, but she has told me not to see anyone for the time being. How about Miss Ning, give me the soup and I'll give it to the old lady later?"
Just as Butler Zhu was about to reach out to take it, Ning Yimeng quickly took a step back. Although a look of disgust flashed across her face, Butler Zhu still saw it.
"Since Miss Ning wants to be sent in personally, then wait a moment. After the old lady and the third lady have finished talking, I will send someone to invite Miss Ning over." Butler Zhu was still very polite.
Ning Yimeng frowned: "Third Madam, who is the Third Madam?"
"The Third Madam is Mr. Pei San's wife, Miss Qiao."
"You mean, the person in the room is my uncle's wife?" Ning Yimeng's eyes widened as if she had heard something incredible.
"Yes, Miss Ning, she is the Third Master's wife." Butler Zhu replied.
Ning Yimeng suddenly laughed out loud: "Butler Zhu, you are not old and your memory is not good, right? My uncle is not married yet, how can he have a wife? Besides, he is my uncle, how could I not know that he is married? Are you deliberately not wanting me to see my grandmother?"
Butler Zhu was not annoyed by this, but remained polite and courteous. He continued with a smile, "Miss Ning should know what's going on during the reunion dinner tonight."
Ning Yimeng frowned. She still didn't believe what Butler Zhu said.
Her uncle, Mr. Pei Sanye, is such a picky and perverted person. If he gets a wife so soon, the sun will be shining from the west tomorrow.
Moreover, she and Su Yun had discussed it seriously and they felt that the rumors outside made sense. Her uncle just liked men, and that man was most likely his special assistant Ren Quan. The two were inseparable all day long.
Shen Suyun even talked to her about this. If her uncle had no successor, when she married Pei Junyan in the future, she would give her child to her uncle as his grandson, and then she would be able to get everything from the Pei family without any effort.
He also said that as long as she was willing to help, he would split the Pei family's property with her in half.
The more Ning Yimeng thought about it, the more she felt that it was impossible for her uncle to have a wife, or rather, she didn't want her uncle to have a wife at all.
But Housekeeper Zhu stopped her, probably because he didn't want her to see her grandmother, so he just rushed in.
When Butler Zhu wanted to stop him, it was too late and he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Grandma, Mengmeng heard that you were discharged from the hospital, so she specially made chicken soup for you!" Ning Yimeng said loudly and pushed the door open.
Inside the house, Old Mrs. Pei opened her small gold cabinet without any scruples, and took out the exquisite jewelry inside one by one, and finally took out a sandalwood box that exuded a faint fragrance.
When the sandalwood box was opened, inside were the letters written to her by the girl she had rescued. Old Mrs. Pei showed them to Qiao Ruoxi one by one as if they were treasures.
As the two were reading the letter, they heard Ning Yimeng's voice coming from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open.
When Ning Yimeng saw Qiao Ruoxi, she was stunned for a moment, and then she saw the piles of gold, silver and jewelry on the ground, and her eyes widened.
This was the first time in her life that she had seen so many extravagant jewellery. If she sold them, it would probably be enough for her to live comfortably for several lifetimes!
Qiao Ruoxi was sitting next to Old Madam Pei, and it looked as if Old Madam Pei wanted to give all the jewelry on the floor to Qiao Ruoxi and let her choose!
When Mrs. Pei saw Ning Yimeng rush in so rashly, she was also stunned.
But he soon revealed a kind smile and waved towards Ning Yimeng: "Mengmeng, you're here. Just in time, let me introduce you. This is your aunt-in-law. Hurry and call someone!"
Ning Yimeng finally managed to move her eyes away from the gold, silver and jewelry on the ground. When she opened her mouth, her voice broke.
"Grandma, what are you doing? Don't let her fool you, she..."
Before Ning Yimeng could finish her words, Mrs. Pei suddenly slapped the table and her face darkened.
