”Madam Xu, sorry to trouble you! You don't blame us for coming here without permission, do you? ” Sun Yiyi's mother first looked around the room, then lowered her voice and greeted: ”It's really Seventh Madame's fault just now that annoyed you so much that she hurried over without even reporting.”
”Humph!” Is that so? So she came to apologize. I thought Sun Yiyi's mother brought Seventh Madame here to flaunt her power. ”
Sun Yiyi's mother's face stiffened when she heard this, and then she burst out laughing a few times, saying: ”I don't dare, I don't dare.”
Hearing Mrs Xu's words, Mrs Chen couldn't help but frown worriedly. She had said it well yesterday, but how did her attitude change in just the morning? How come Miss didn't understand that she had to endure a bit of anger?
The servants all over the yard were looking at her warily, and at this moment, Mama Chen looked even more worried. All of this proved that, although this Concubine Xu had a bad temper and had a bad reputation in the Prince's Mansion, she was at least sincere towards the servants in her own yard, otherwise, no one would subconsciously protect her.
Whether the servant was loyal to the master or not was a clear indication of the master's character.
Just like the Jiang Clan, although they had always portrayed themselves as magnanimous and upright, unwilling to punish others, seeing how even their most treasured grandson's mother was wary of her and harboring resentment towards her, it was clear that she wasn't a reliable person and was even extremely hypocritical.
There are still two more!
Mrs Xu lowered her head and fiddled with the cup lid in her hands, having no intention of opening her mouth to speak at all. Mrs Chen stood behind Mrs Xu, drooping her eyes and closing her mouth, looking like an old monk in meditation. The servants in the entire room were all standing there obediently with their hands down, their eyes fixed on the ground, very orderly.
Sun Yiyi's mother was so thick-skinned that she couldn't smile anymore. She used her wide sleeves to hide herself and quietly pulled Qi Qi, and when Qi Qi turned to look at her, she gave her a look, indicating that she should speak.
After seeing Sun Yiyi's mother frown slightly, he let out a cough. He first looked up at Mrs Xu's expression, then looked around at the servants in the surroundings, and then said timidly: ”Qi Qi Qi knows what I said wrong this morning, and has provoked sister …” The secondary concubine was angry, so she deliberately came to apologize. ”
After saying this, Qi Qi could only slightly kneel down, as if she was about to kneel down.
Mrs Xu looked coldly at Seventh Seven's actions. Even though Mrs Chen was secretly pulling on her sleeve to remind her, she still didn't say anything, allowing him to kneel down.
Seventh Madame was about to kneel down, and wanted to reach out and hold her, but before she could do so, the wangfei shot her a look. She immediately retracted her hand, which was already half-extended, and lowered her eyes to stand still.
Seven Fields kneeled on the ground, bowed deeply to the Xu family, and then prostrated on the ground, saying sincerely,” ”Seven Fields is insensible, and has spoken wrongly. Please atone for your sins.
As he spoke, Qi Qi Jian used the movement of withdrawing her hand to lightly tap on Sun Yiyi's mother's shoes.
When Sun Yiyi's mother felt Seventh Madame's movements, she immediately understood and bent down to kneel towards her. ”Esteemed wangfei, I'm afraid Seventh Madame doesn't know the way, so this old servant brought Seventh Madame here. Now that Seventh Madame's already here, this old servant will take his leave first.”
With that, without waiting for Xu Sanguan's reply, she stood up and hurriedly left.
As soon as Sun Yiyi's mother left, she panicked. Hurriedly, she tugged at Mrs Xu's sleeve and whispered into her ear, ”Mistress, if mother Sun goes, I'm afraid …”
Mrs Xu was not in a hurry. She put down the teacup she had been holding in her hand and said to the people in the room, ”You can all leave. Seventh Madame and I have something to say to each other.”
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, then went out one by one.
”Mistress, this …” ”Leaving Seventh Madame alone like this, if something happens, Mistress you won't be able to explain yourself.” This Sun's mother had brought Seventh Madame over, which in itself was a strange thing to do. Seventh Madame had kneeled down as soon as she arrived, while Sun Yiyi's mother left as soon as she saw Seventh Madame kneel down. This whole thing seemed very strange.
If esteemed wangfei and Seventh Madame had some sort of conspiracy, wasn't it a fall into the trap to have their master dismiss them like that? If anything happened to Seventh Madame, where would they find out?
”Don't worry, close the door!” The Xu family had a calm expression, as if they could not understand the meaning behind Mama Chen's words.
”Master …” Mrs Chen was about to persuade her again when Mrs Xu glared at her. She could only obey and go close the door.
”Okay, get up. I know that you have felt wronged when you were kneeling. Right now, your status is extremely high, so I will not feel wronged by you.” The Xu family had changed from their fiery temper from before. They coldly looked at Qi Qi, speaking with a cold tone.
Thank you for your understanding, Consort Xu. Then I shall accept your request.” Qi Qi Qi replied with a faint smile. He stood up calmly and patted the non-existent dust off his skirt. There was no trace of fear or unease on his face.
