Chapter 45 (2/2)
Honglian is a kind person. She didn't take the opportunity to turn over the old accounts. When she heard what Xue's daughter-in-law said, she smiled and said, ”since it's so, I can't embarrass sister-in-law Xue. I'll go back and tell Grandma.”
Thinking of grandma, Xue's daughter-in-law saw the picture of the beautiful woman chopping with a kitchen knife in front of the chopping board. She shivered twice. She quickly took Honglian's hand and said with tears: ”girl, at least help us explain. If it's the old lady, we don't dare to disobey. We don't mean to neglect grandma.”
”Sister Xue, don't worry. Our grandmother is not unreasonable.” Hong Lian sweated and quickly said a few words for Su wennuan. She thought, grandma, you see the evil you have done. What a powerful person sister Xue is. Life makes you scare out that... Psychological shadow.
Returning to Meiyue building, Su wennuan immediately wondered about the situation. While kneading his face, he frowned and said, ”how can the old lady give such a strange order? Honglian, you can't be fooled by the Xue family? No, I have to go and see it myself.”
When she finished, she was about to take off her apron, but she was pulled by Honglian and listened to the big girl's urgent way: ”Grandma, do you think your maidservants are so confused? Besides, does sister Xue dare to fool us? Grandma made a scene in the kitchen last time, and people still shiver when they think of it. Just be kind and don't scare people again. In case of any good or bad, there will be old and young people.”
”Are you my girl? How do you talk? What do you mean to be scared? Grandma, I look so terrible? Am I a tigress?”
Su Nuan had to poke a finger on Honglian's forehead, but he didn't continue to extricate himself from the skirt. Suddenly, Xiang Yun smiled and said, ”it seems that my lord really said that about grandma. In fact, my maidservant thinks it's very good. How powerful the female tiger is.”
Su wennuan looked left and right and found that Xiangyun's expression was very sincere and there was absolutely no hidden irony. He had to sigh, rub the little girl's hair and mutter, ”forget it, the child is still young and not sensible.”
Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a sweet and gentle voice outside: ”is grandma there?”
”Who is this?”
Su wennuan was surprised. Except for the scum men who ate and drank, few women came to Meiyue building. Anyone who comes here is ill intentioned to himself. I'm a stranger today. Is it Duan Tingxuan's concubine who came to the door? I'm not timid. Xu ranyun and Xue Zhilan are just two flat wives. At least they occupy a wife, aren't they? How dare a concubine bully the main room? You think you're four? (Si'er: the concubine of longkodo in the Qing Dynasty, above the main room, really achieved the feat of spoiling my concubine and destroying my wife. However, it was of no use, and it still came to a sad end in the end.) (to be continued.)
