Chapter 217

Mu Yun chatted with Xu for a long time. For some reason, Xu treated her better today than before.

Moreover, after she arrived at Duke Cheng's mansion, many maids and wives dared not neglect her anymore. Although they might still feel the same way, at least they wouldn't show it.

Although Xu did not speak harshly when talking to her in the past, she rarely spoke like this warmly. She occasionally had a bit of teasing in her words, but it really made her feel close, which made Mu Yun glad that she made her decision. As expected, it was right to support Shan Jingyan, and she had no way out. She looked up at Xu, and they both knew each other tacitly.

Mu Yun lowered his eyebrows and picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. The teacup had been left for a while, and it was already a little cold when drinking. Mu Yun only took a sip and put the teacup down, put the teacup in his mouth for a short while and finally swallowed it. The original sweet fragrance of the teacup was greatly reduced when the teacup cooled down. The instant he swallowed it was filled with a faint bitterness in his mouth. But in just a moment, a sweetness surged into his throat.

Mu Yun smiled faintly: Life is like the taste of tea. You always have to experience some pain to taste the sweetness. Whether it was a maid in the past or later she married a wife, she looked smoothly along the way, and only she knew how many difficulties and hardships there were in her heart.

If those who have misunderstandings about her really think that all the glory she has today is just because of "good fate", then these people would underestimate her too much! In fact, Mu Yun knew in his heart that many people in the Duke of Cheng Guo thought so. Especially those maids and mothers, they were afraid that they were thinking that even though they were the same slaves, they had good fortune and soared into the sky, and they still wanted to live here with a humble life. Although these people respected her, they were afraid that they looked down on themselves a little.

But all this doesn't matter! Mu Yun thought in his heart: You don't need to know how I am soaring. You just need to know that today's me is no longer something you can arrange and neglect at will.

...

Xu did not eat lunch with Mu Yun. She had something to do, so she left Qinghe and some maids and mothers who were friends with Mu Yun to entertain Mu Yun in the side hall of the flower hall.

While waiting for the meal, everyone said this. After chatting for a while, Mu Yun asked, "How is that parallel to that mother Zhuang's son?"

When everyone heard this, look at me, look at you. These people don’t know much about Zhuang’s family affairs, and they don’t know where to start for a while.

Seeing everyone like this, Mu Yun asked quickly: "But what's wrong?"

In the end, Liu's mother, who had been serving Country Garden for a long time, spoke first. She said "tsk": "We can't say this. A while ago, my mother Zhuang fell in love with Jade, but no one in our mansion knew that her son was good at eating, drinking, gambling all day long. At how old she was, she was already a regular visitor to the Chu Pavilion in the brothel. Jade was naturally unhappy. Zhuang's son was a fire pit, so Jade personally begged her wife to marry a son in charge of the wife's businessman."

Listening to Liu's mother's words, Mu Yun frowned. She didn't care much about the words next to her, but why did the son of Zhuang's mother say differently from those people? So Mu Yun asked, "What did Mother Liu just say? Is Zhuang's son not good?"

Mother Liu glanced around and saw that there were people in the house with familiar relationships. Seeing that there were no irrelevant people in the house, she hurriedly said with certainty: "It's not just bad, it's simply not a thing. That time, I heard an old woman in the outer courtyard say that her son followed the account in the house to settle the account in the village, hooked up with a daughter of a farmhouse household, and made her belly bigger. But she refused to admit it. The girl jumped into the lake and committed suicide by dying."

As soon as Liu's mother finished speaking, Qinghe next to her angrily said to her: "Mom Liu, you've gone out to inquire about these gossips again."

Mother Liu smiled embarrassedly: "What's the matter? I'm not asking for it alone. At worst, I won't go there in the future."

Qinghe curled her lips helplessly, she didn't believe it at all. Liu's mother has always been silly, and she hasn't changed it for many years. Qinghe said to Muyun: "You knew Liu's personality before. She likes to chat with others the most. There are also rumors, but it doesn't know what's true or false. Mrs. Wen just listen to it as a story, don't take it to heart."

Mu Yun nodded and responded, but there was no wind and waves. Mu Yun still solemnly kept this matter in his heart. What mother Liu said had never heard of this before. If the kid from the dealer was really bad as she said, wouldn’t the servants she just asked were deceived? When did the servants of the Duke of Chengguo’s mansion be so arrogant and without rules?

Because I had something to do, when I was having dinner in the flower hall at noon, even though the dishes in the small kitchen of the Duke of Cheng Guofu were made with colors, fragrance and taste, Mu Yun had no appetite and just ate a little. Qinghe thought that the dishes here were not as good as hers.

Shortly after lunch, Xu came back. Mu Yun went over to invite An, said a few words, and saw that Xu looked a little confused, and couldn't help but smile: "Madam has been running around for a long time. I must be tired, so hurry back to the inner room to rest. I'm leaving later. I'll just take a walk with them while it's not too hot today, and then I'll go back."

Xu did not politely to her: "After all, you young people are energetic. I am really tired. Go in and lie down for a while. You can do it yourself." After saying that, he glanced around and ordered, "Bai Wei, you can send Mrs. Wen to me." Bai Wei responded quickly.

Bai Wei has now returned to Xu's side and become an aunt. She has a deep foundation in this mansion, so they have a good relationship. Mu Yun thought to ask her about Zhuang's son's comments, so Mu Yun took advantage of the time he walked out and asked her whisperedly: "Sister Bai Wei, there is something I want to ask you. Although it is a bit abrupt, it really makes me feel unbelievable. You have to tell me the truth."

Before she could speak, Bai Wei said, "I know, what Mrs. Wen wants to ask about the son of Zhuang Mother's son. I heard that day when my mother Zhuang's mother went to give you a gift, I wanted to hint you when you came today, but later my wife asked me to do things and didn't care about telling you. If you can trust me, don't let Yueping marry Zhuang's son."

Mu Yun was stunned when he heard Bai Wei's words and asked, "But what's wrong with Mother Zhuang's son?"

Bai Wei whispered, "It's not just bad!" After saying that, she looked around and saw that the people following them were far away from behind, and she whispered, "You are not an outsider anymore, I will tell you the truth. That mother Zhuang had made a decision on me, but I refused me for various reasons. Now I am more decent in front of my wife than before. I am my wife's aunt, so she dare not be stronger. The manager of the outer courtyard whom I have had with me and the manager of the outer courtyard and

The accountants all told me privately that I would not interact with her, saying that her kid was proficient in eating, drinking, gamble and other things. But he had never made any big fuss about his errands. Everyone just turned a blind eye to the face of Manager Zhuang and Mom Zhuang, and didn't reveal it. We grew up together, and Yue Ping and I were familiar with each other, so naturally they didn't want to watch her jump into the fire pit. You might as well find a good marriage for her."

Mu Yun didn't believe anything about Bai Wei's words. After all, they had been in love for so many years. She immediately held Bai Wei's hand and said, "Good sister, thanks to you for telling me this. I also asked a few servants next to me. They only said good things about Zhuang's family and kept them from me. I was moved. Fortunately, you told the truth, otherwise I would have hurt Yue Ping. Wouldn't I feel uneasy for the rest of my life?"

Mu Yun said, and took off a pair of jasper bracelets from his hands and put them on her: "I'm thanking you for this bracelet! We are not much older than you, and it's suitable for you to carry it."

Bai Wei quickly refused: "Look at what you said, I am several years older than you." Mu Yun grabbed her hand and said: "Okay, this public pulling and pulling makes it unreasonable for others to see it. Just wear it. Why are you polite to me?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wei smiled and said, "Okay, I won't be polite to you."

Mu Yun patted her hand and said, "That's right!"

Since Mu Yun now knows that Zhuang’s son is not good, he is reluctant to marry Yueping to him. However, Zhuang’s mother is an old man next to Xu, so Mu Yun couldn’t refuse too clearly, so he asked someone to reply that the two of them had different horoscopes.

When Zhuang heard Mu Yun's obvious refusal, his mother was extremely angry. This Mrs. Wen was so shameless. She was just a little girl, and she even pushed her back. She sneered and thought to herself: I don't believe it. I will give up my old face for several lifetimes, but I won't have a little girl. I went to Country Garden angrily, wanting to find Xu to support her.

When he arrived in Country Garden, Zhuang's mother listened to the whispering in the house. After she went in, she saw Xu playing with the parrot sent by the princess. The parrot was also sweet-mouthed and shouted "Madam is as blessed as the East China Sea" and "Madam is unparalleled" all day long, making Xu's happy. Even the maids in the house like to make this parrot.

Seeing that Xu was in high spirits at this moment, she didn't dare to say it directly. She praised the parrot first, and then replied with a smile. Seeing Xu's face showing satisfaction, Qiqiai Ai replied: "I have something here and I want to ask my wife to decide for me."

Xu asked with little concern: "What's the matter?"

Mother Zhuang smiled and said, "It's just my kid's business. My wife also knows that my kid is in his early twenties this year and doesn't have a wife yet. Isn't I going to ask my wife to help me decide?"

Xu raised his head slightly: "I remember you fell in love with Mrs. Wen's maid that day? Why, hasn't this happened?"

Mother Zhuang said with a bitter face: "Isn't it? I thought that my family was not bad among the servants in this mansion. I don't know how high Mrs. Wen's vision is, so she didn't like the boy in my family. She just said she wanted to release the maid out to be a flat-headed grandma."

Xu replied casually: "Since she doesn't agree, everyone has their own ambitions, you don't have to force it. Just find the best one for your son."

Zhuang's mother said again: "I have seen that after seeing that over the past few years, I finally have a daughter-in-law I like. If it turns out like this, I feel a little reluctant. So I want to ask my wife to help..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu raised his hand to stop him. She ordered the maid to take the parrot down and said, "Take the parrot down and get some food for it." The maids responded and took the parrot down.

After seeing the maids go out, Xu turned his head and scolded, "What do you want me to help you? Let's tell you about your kindness to Mrs. Wen? Your face is getting bigger and bigger, and you are thinking about picking up your master! Mrs. Wen is gentle and easy to talk, and you bully her like this! Now that I can't coax her, I come to pull me into a raft. Do you really think I don't know what that boy is? I just think you are so diligent in doing things over the years, leaving you a bit of decentness. Mrs. Wen doesn't want to be ruined by her maid who has been with her for many years. She politely rejected you and did not tell your son's scandal. You should be grateful. You are still blaming Mrs. Wen?"

When Zhuang heard Xu's reprimand, his mother quickly knelt down and shouted, "I don't dare." When she heard Xu's words, her wife had known about her boy's affairs. Although it was mid-May and the sun was shining brightly outside, there was no ice in the room and it was a little stuffy. Zhuang's mother felt a sudden cold air rising on her body, which made her shiver involuntarily.
