Seeing Song Mama turn her head, Wang Mama looked her up and down at her coarse cloth clothes, which were patched.
Unlike her, she was very popular with the old lady and wore Shu brocade bestowed upon her by her master!
Although this material has become less fashionable in the capital in recent years, it is still extremely valuable to people like them, which is why they look down on Granny Song even more.
"Oh, my dear sister, it's been so long! How come you've become so disheveled? You're dressed in rags, looking like a beggar on the street!"
After saying that, she picked up a handkerchief, covered her mouth, and chuckled softly.
Granny Song snorted coldly, narrowed her eyes dangerously, and said disdainfully, "So what? It's still better than some shameless people who spend their whole lives as dogs."
"you!"
Granny Wang was furious. She put her hands on her hips, pointed at her, and cursed, "You old hag, we're both servants, and you think you're superior to me? You're so useless, you've ended up like this, and you still dare to mock me?"
She grew angrier and angrier, forgetting that Jiang Mingwei was still standing to the side, and rolled up her sleeves to approach Granny Song.
"If I don't teach you a lesson today, you will..."
"This is my Sufeng Pavilion. What is Wang Mama doing? Beating and scolding my people in front of me, does she even respect me anymore!"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Mingwei stepped forward to stop her, glaring at Granny Wang with a dark look in her eyes.
She was startled and staggered backward. It took her a while to come to her senses. She looked Jiang Mingwei up and down and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"That old hag spoke rudely to me; I should teach her a lesson!"
Jiang Mingwei sneered: "Is that so? I think it was Granny Wang who was aggressive first. She's in my courtyard now, so she's under my jurisdiction. Granny Wang, try and lay a hand on her!"
"you……"
Because of Zhou Shi, Granny Wang held Jiang Mingwei in low esteem.
But a master is a master. Having lived most of her life, she was shrewd and knew that she couldn't have a direct confrontation, otherwise she would be in the wrong even if she was in the right.
He stared at Jiang Mingwei for a long time, then glared at Song Mama in the courtyard and snorted disdainfully.
"Even though she's in the madam's courtyard, we should change her into some nicer clothes. If others see this, they might think the Wei family is mistreating their servants!"
"Alright, since she's from the Madam's courtyard, this servant naturally has no say in her affairs. Please go to the Old Madam's place as soon as possible, she's waiting for you."
“I can go, but please, Granny Wang, recognize your place. To me, you are nothing but a servant. If you dare to be so arrogant again, don’t blame me for slapping you.”
Jiang Mingwei stepped forward and warned in a low voice.
Startled, Granny Wang staggered backward, her eyes filled with terror. She dared not linger any longer and quickly fled...
Granny Song gazed at Jiang Mingwei without saying a word.
After a long while, he dragged his broom and limped away into the distance.
Jiang Mingwei brought Hua Cui into the room and asked as she changed her clothes, "Haven't you finished arranging Song Mama's food, clothing, and lodging as I asked you before?"
"Everything has been taken care of, and Granny Song has moved to a spacious and bright room. However, she just doesn't want the clothes, and I have no choice but to leave them in my room for now."
Hua Cui felt helpless when this matter was mentioned; otherwise, she could have reported back to her mistress long ago.
Now, however, it can only be delayed again and again.
I was thinking of sending it over in the next few days to try again, but I didn't expect to be ridiculed by Granny Wang today.
Jiang Mingwei did not blame Hua Cui, after all, she had witnessed the temper of that Granny Song.
"Alright, deliver it again when you have time. If she doesn't want it, just leave it in front of her door."
"yes."
Hua Cui nodded, removed the jewelry from Jiang Mingwei's head, and couldn't help but worry: "Miss, are you really going to see the old lady later?"
"They've already sent people to invite us. If we don't go, she might use this as an excuse to make trouble again."
Jiang Mingwei picked up the jade hairpin on the table and examined it carefully, a smile playing on her lips: "However... even if she didn't call me today, I would still have to go!"
Jiang Mingwei changed into a cool blue dress and went to the Zhou family courtyard with Hua Cui.
Just then, Lu Yun brought Wei Heng to visit Madam Zhou. Upon seeing her beloved grandson, Madam Zhou beamed with joy, her eyes crinkling with happiness, and she casually bestowed upon him jade bracelets of the finest quality.
Lu Yun stared in disbelief and repeatedly urged Wei Heng to thank her grandmother.
Jiang Mingwei had little contact with Wei Heng and didn't know how capable the child was, but Lu Yun was indeed quite skilled, teaching him to be well-behaved and extremely good at pleasing Zhou Shi.
It was rare for Zhou to be so open and honest with him.
Jiang Mingwei stepped forward and curtsied to Zhou Shi, saying, "Mother-in-law."
Zhou pretended not to see her and continued to play with her grandson.
Jiang Mingwei maintained her half-squatting posture, but after only half an incense stick's time, her calves began to ache, and the irritability in her eyes only increased.
She could no longer bear it and immediately stood up straight.
"How dare you!"
Almost as if staring at her, Jiang Mingwei had just stood up when the cold rebuke reached her ears.
She looked up at the person who spoke, and to her surprise, it was her old acquaintance, Granny Wang!
"What about Madam's rules? Have they gone to waste? The old lady hasn't even told you to get up yet, how dare you, as a junior, rise?"
Granny Wang, with her nose in the air, now that her master is by her side, doesn't take Jiang Mingwei seriously at all.
Little did she know, Jiang Mingwei had been putting up with her for a long time.
This old hag is really getting cocky, isn't she? If we don't teach her a lesson, it would be a disservice to the original owner of this body who suffered so much!
If the tiger doesn't show off its kitty, does it really think it's intimidating?
Several pairs of eyes were fixed on her. Jiang Mingwei remained silent and smiled as she walked towards Granny Wang.
Snap!
A loud slap rang out from Wang Mama, who covered her face in disbelief, while Jiang Mingwei laughed and flicked her wrist.
That's why they say hitting someone feels so good! My breasts have become much clearer.
"Wang Mama said I have no manners, but what about you? As a servant, you have been disrespectful to your superior and have repeatedly offended me, the legitimate wife. You deserve to be beaten!"
There were also maids in the room. Granny Wang was always very authoritative, and now that she had been beaten so suddenly, she felt extremely humiliated, and her eyes turned red.
"This servant...this servant was acting on the orders of the old lady!"
"You're really good at flattering me, following your mother's orders!"
Jiang Mingwei sneered and said firmly, "What? My mother is mute and can't speak, so you have to overstep your bounds and act insubordination?"
"Slapping you is too lenient a punishment. A servant as unruly and ill-mannered as you should be sold off!"
Every single sentence, though seemingly unrelated, is actually insulting.
Jiang Mingwei's veiled insults were masterful; Zhou's face turned ashen, her lips twitching slightly, and she handed Wei Heng over to the wet nurse.
She could no longer bear it and slammed her cane heavily on the ground.
"Jiang, you shameless woman, kneel down right now!"
"What have I done wrong that I must kneel?"
Jiang Mingwei's gaze darkened; she had already realized that trying to appease this old hag was not going to work.
If that's the case, she'll fight to the bitter end!
Madam Zhou glared at her: "You disrespect your elders and left the mansion without permission. Shouldn't you kneel?"
Seeing that things were in complete chaos, Lu Yun decided to scoop out a bowl herself.
He stammered, "Madam, you are a junior. How can you speak so disparagingly of the old lady?"
