Chapter 425 Talking about conditions
Mingzhu expressed contempt: "Miss, you are the master, but you have lived in the countryside for many years, and the most prominent family you have ever seen is the Yuan family in Taizhou Prefecture. There is still a lot to learn. Only by cultivating slowly can you become a good mistress of the Hou family. Just like the broken jars you brought from the countryside, the third master and the third wife are willing to spoil you, but when you arrive at the uncle's mansion, you still have to change the bad habits that should be changed Lose."
"It's up to me whether I want to be the mistress of the Hou family. If you don't want to see me like this, I can let you know what kind of outrageous things a country girl who has lived in the country for thirteen years can do at a wedding." . Wei Ruo smiled.
"Miss, what do you mean?" Mingzhu looked at Wei Ruo in confusion.
"Do you want me to marry an old man for the benefit of this family, and you want to restrict me everywhere and discipline me like a prisoner? The rabbit will bite people when it gets anxious, and if it **** me off, I will go crazy and tell everyone Look, when we see whether the wedding can still be moved, and whether the Xuanpinghou Mansion still wants me."
Mingzhu's eyes widened, and she looked at Wei Ruo in disbelief.
"What are you thinking? Could it be that you still want to have a big wedding?" Mingzhu seemed to have heard something terrifying.
Wei Ruo asked back: "Is it not possible? Don't you know that there are people who can do this in the uncle's house? Then let me tell you, that year Widow Li of Mojiazha was forced by her brother to remarry. She If she didn't marry, she chopped up an old hen with a knife in front of the person who came to propose marriage, and threatened that if anyone dared to let her marry again, she would chop him up!"
"Do you know that if you make a big wedding, your life will be ruined! Don't talk about getting married, you won't even have a place to stay!"
"Of course I know, but I ruined myself and at the same time dragged the whole Wei family into the water. If I'm not happy, don't leave anyone alone. I don't know how you will be punished when the time comes to teach me the rules? Is it because you are messed up?" Beat to death or be sold?" Wei Ruo said shocking words in a calm tone.
Mingzhu was immediately dumbfounded, and stared at Wei Ruo with a slightly dull expression.
Wei Ruo hooked the corners of his mouth, and said leisurely: "Now the Wei family wants me to work for their interests, and if they want me to cooperate, follow my rules."
Mingzhu looked at Wei Ruo angrily: "I will tell the old lady and the old lady exactly what you just said, Miss!"
"Go." Wei Ruo didn't mind at all.
"Hmph!" Mingzhu snorted, and then walked out of the room angrily.
Wei Ruo calmly waited in the room for Mingzhu to bring the rescuers.
Although she arrived at the Zhongyibo Mansion in the capital much later than in the original book, the temperament of the people in this mansion has not changed.
Like this Mingzhu, she is not simply arrogant and conceited. As a servant, she has nothing to do with her master. She has her own purpose in doing so.
She is showing her loyalty to Wei Qingwan, and wants to teach her a lesson for Wei Qingwan.
Although it sounds good on the surface, she and Wei Qingwan are both high-married, but anyone can compare it. Her future as the wife of Xuan Ping Hou is far inferior to that of the emperor who bestowed a marriage to be the side concubine of King Yu Wei Qingwan.
She, Mrs. Hou, sounds like a wife, but it is hard to say whether she can gain a firm foothold in the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
The children born to Xuan Pinghou's first two wives are not easy-going, they are notoriously ruthless characters. In the future, Xuanping Hou Yexian will go, and her so-called stepmother still doesn't know what kind of life she will live.
Wei Qingwan is different, even if she is a side concubine, she is the side concubine of King Yu who is most likely to become the crown prince. If he wants to ascend the throne in the future, his side concubine will at least be named fourth concubine, or even a noble concubine. There is still a chance to go one step further.
It is natural to distinguish which is more important.
Nanny Li, who wanted to go back and forth to the mansion, often sent some signals to the people below, such as sisters' discord, for example, Wei Qingwan had to choose a few maidservants to take to Prince Yu's mansion, etc. Take action.
Similarly, Wei Ruo also knew something about the old man and the old lady, so when she said those words to Mingzhu, she had already thought about the countermeasures.
Not long after, Nanny Jin came.
"Miss, old lady, please go over."
Nurse Jin and Wei Ruo came from Taizhou Prefecture together, and they had a lot of contact along the way.
Her attitude towards Wei Ruo was relatively cold from the very beginning, because she and Nanny Li exchange handkerchiefs and have always had a good relationship.
Her poor attitude towards Wei Ruo was partly to vent her anger on Nanny Li.
But she only dared to show Wei Ruo some embarrassment at certain times, and she didn't dare to do too much, much more restrained than Nanny Li.
"Okay." Wei Ruo had no objection, got up and walked to Shou'an Hall with Nanny Jin.
Xiumei followed Wei Ruo closely, looking a little nervous, afraid that the old lady would deal with Wei Ruo later.
At this time, the Shou'an Hall is very clean. The old man is not there, nor are the other children and grandchildren, only the old lady and the servants who serve her.
After Nanny Jin led Wei Ruo in, the old lady beckoned Wei Ruo to sit beside her with a kind face.
"Ruo'er, come to me."
Wei Ruo walked over very calmly, and sat down next to the old lady.
Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Ruo carefully again, her eyes looked kindly and comforted: "I heard from Jinmao that you tell Mingzhu that if you can't make your life happy, you will pretend to be crazy and make trouble when you get married. Ruin the wedding?"
"Yes." Wei Ruo admitted very frankly.
Hearing that Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Ruo for a long time, then sighed slightly.
"Indeed, it is difficult for you to learn the rules. What's more, from your performance in Taizhou, you are a generalist and don't need to learn the rules. It's just that your grandfather is not very relieved, so he sent Mingzhu used to teach you."
"Then can grandma agree to my conditions, so that I can live comfortably and happily in the mansion during this time?" Wei Ruo asked.
"I will find a way to talk to your grandfather, and I will make arrangements for you as much as possible so that you can marry happily." Mrs. Wei dare not speak too much.
"Okay." Wei Ruo agreed.
Mrs. Wei smiled, and then said to Wei Ruo: "You are a smart and blessed child. Ever since you came to the Wei family, things have been going well in the family. Your father turned bad luck into good luck several times and was promoted steadily. Your eldest brother In high school again, your father wrote in a letter saying that even Yilin, who has always been disobedient, has become obedient, sensible, and motivated."
Wei Ruo didn't answer, but just listened quietly.
Old Madam Wei went on to say: "And the gifts you gave to grandma before, grandma has received them, and she likes them very much. You are interested."
