Chapter 423 True Personality
Aunt Qing frowned, and Zhou Jinman left reluctantly.
When only Aunt Qing and Ye Mingzhu were left in the room, Ye Mingzhu smiled and praised Aunt Qing: "Mom, I see that you are becoming more and more powerful now. Even your cousin dares not speak."
Aunt Qing had a bitter smile on her face: "Alright, stop making fun of me. I'm only capable of scaring a little girl."
Ye Mingzhu covered her mouth and chuckled for a few times before she put away the smile on her face: "Mom, isn't my cousin's personality a little too lively?"
To put it more seriously, it is just ignorance.
Although she only said a few words, Ye Mingzhu felt that this should not be Zhou Jinman's true character. She seemed to be deliberately angering them, but she behaved like a child. Ye Mingzhu didn't know whether her guess was correct.
Aunt Qing was really stunned when she heard this, and began to think seriously.
Zhou Jinman behaved like an ignorant child, greedy and playful, and all the emotions showed on her face.
Although Aunt Qing didn't like her personality, she wouldn't argue with her because she was just a child. But with such a personality, she definitely wouldn't be willing to hire her as her daughter-in-law.
"Is Jin Man trying to make me hate her?"
Ye Mingzhu shook her head. She just felt that Zhou Jinman's behavior was too incongruous and inconsistent with the purpose of her visit.
Logically speaking, if Uncle Zhou Er asked Zhou Jinman to come, he would naturally tell her the reason for her coming. Then, after Zhou Jinman came, she should have tried her best to please Aunt Qing, but she acted just the opposite. Unless, Zhou Jinman didn't really want to come, she wanted to ruin Uncle Zhou Er's plan.
Aunt Qing had left the capital for many years, but with Ye Mingzhu's reminder, she also realized that something was wrong.
Her second sister-in-law's personality is not one that would spoil a concubine's daughter. So, how did Zhou Jinman develop such a personality?
When she came, there was a problem with her boat, so she boarded Yu Jiahui's boat. So was there really a problem with her boat?
Aunt Qing's head started to hurt again. She just wanted to live a good life in Pinggu Town. Why did her second brother have to bring a concubine's daughter here to make her upset?
Aunt Qing was very dissatisfied with Uncle Zhou Er and wanted to write a letter to scold him right away.
"Mom, my cousin is still a child after all. We just need to be more careful." Ye Mingzhu said, "My cousin will be living here for a while, so she will be exposed eventually."
Aunt Qing could only nod: "Well, then don't come over during this period of time. If there is anything, I will send someone to find you."
She did not forget that Zhou Jinman's purpose of coming here was to develop feelings with Jiang Hongyu. Although Jiang Hongyu was not at home during this period, it would be bad if Hongyu came back early and Zhou Jinman did something inappropriate again.
Ye Mingzhu knew that Aunt Qing meant well, so she went back at her urging.
After a while, Zhou Jinman reappeared with her maid. She looked around and asked, "Aunt, where is my cousin's wife?"
Aunt Qing stared at her: "Mingzhu has already gone back. Do you have something to do with her?"
"I'm bored here and want to talk to my cousin's wife." Zhou Jinman had an obvious smile on her face.
"Mingzhu grew up here. You are a noble lady raised by a big family. You two can't get along. If you have any problems, just come to me directly."
Zhou Jinman pouted out of habit, and when the maid beside her touched her arm, she walked over to Aunt Qing and acted coquettishly.
This time, Aunt Qing noticed the maidservant beside Zhou Jinman. She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. Her appearance was not very outstanding, but her eyes were bright. She did not look like a maidservant beside a concubine's daughter.
Zhou Jinman brought two maids this time. The other one was about the same age as her, and the two of them got along closer.
"Jinman, there are not many servants here. If there is anything, just let your maid do it." Aunt Qing spoke to Zhou Jinman, but her eyes were looking at the head maid.
"Aunt, they are all maids anyway, and they do the same work in the capital." Zhou Jinman looked indifferent to the maid beside her, and the maid's expression did not change at all.
Zhou Jinman rolled her eyes and talked about interesting things in the capital, which made Aunt Qing very happy.
"Girl, you are really good at talking. Is this how you coax people at home?" Aunt Qing laughed so hard that tears came out. The funny stories Zhou Jinman told were really too funny.
Zhou Jinman smiled proudly: "Daddy likes talking to me the most."
Aunt Qing smiled and praised her: "I like talking to you too. Tell me again, what happened to your cat?"
Zhou Jinman loved to show off her cat and praised it to Aunt Qing for half an hour.
During this time, the maid beside her wanted to interrupt her, but Aunt Qing directly ordered the head maid to bring some snacks to Zhou Jinman.
The head maid glanced at Zhou Jinman and went out obediently.
Aunt Qing complimented him casually, "You have a good maid. Has she been taking care of you since you were a child?"
Zhou Jinman curled her lips unconsciously: "Daddy gave me the name Qing'er, which sounds awkward, but Daddy won't let me change it."
"Aunt, I'm so bored at home. Can you accompany me for a walk?" Zhou Jinman acted coquettishly to Aunt Qing.
Aunt Qing couldn't stand it any longer, so in order to make her quiet down, she had to agree to take her to the street.
Zhou Jinman immediately smiled happily: "I'll go tell Sister Yu."
Qing'er, who came back with snacks, was almost knocked down by Zhou Jinman. She frowned and looked at herself first, then stepped aside.
Aunt Qing was sure that there was something wrong with this maid. It must have been given to Zhou Jinman by Uncle Zhou before she came, asking her to keep an eye on Zhou Jinman.
Originally, they were going to visit Doctor Zhou the next day, but Lin Dongjia was not in good health, so Doctor Zhou was not able to go out. He only asked his medicine boy to deliver a bottle of medicine, saying it was a gift for Zhou Jinman.
When Zhou Jinman saw the medicine bottle, her eyes widened and she didn't speak for a long time.
Aunt Qing gestured for her to take it, but she didn't respond for a long time. It was Qing'er beside her who took the medicine bottle.
"Fifteenth Uncle gave me a bottle of medicine as a gift?" Zhou Jinman asked this very aggrievedly. She had never received such a gift before.
"Uncle Fifteen is a famous gynecologist, and his medicine is priceless." Aunt Qing was speechless about Doctor Zhou's habit.
"Master said that the medicine here is most suitable for young people and can regulate the body." The medicine boy answered in a low voice.
"Really?" Zhou Jinman snatched the medicine bottle from Qing'er, opened it, smelled it, and frowned: "This medicine tastes a bit bitter."
The medicine boy said that this medicine can be taken directly or dissolved in water.
Aunt Qing was afraid that Zhou Jinman would say something unpleasant again, so she asked the medicine boy to go back.
Apart from asking about Jiang Hongyu on the first day, Zhou Jinman seemed to have forgotten about Jiang Hongyu. Apart from eating and sleeping at home, she would go out shopping. Although Aunt Qing was reluctant, she had to accompany her because she was afraid that something might happen to her.
Ye Mingzhu only stayed with him for one day and didn't go again. Jiang Hongyu asked Ye Lang to send a message saying that he would be back in two days and she had to stay at home to prepare things.
