Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system
Chapter 23 Testing the authenticity of Xu Zhimiao's prediction
This slap caught Zhang's mother off guard. She looked at her in astonishment, "You... dare to hit me?"
Xu Panyue slapped him again with her backhand, "You call me the eldest young lady too! How come I, a proper master, can't beat up an old slave like you?"
After being slapped twice in a row, Zhang's mother's mind went blank for a moment.
She has been with the Second Madam for more than 20 years and is her confidant.
Even the eldest young master and the two young ladies were polite to her, and the second wife never said a harsh word to her.
Now she was slapped twice in a row by the woman who designed the eldest young master's marriage and held him back. Where could she put her face?
And it happened in the dining hall of the main house. There were several servants still cleaning outside the dining hall!
Didn't that mean that he had seen the slapping of her face?
Then how could she show off in front of those little girls? How could she boss them around?
Mother Zhang covered her slapped cheek with one hand and looked at Xu Panyue coldly, "Yes, Madam, you are right. I am just a servant. Madam, let alone giving me two slaps, even if you want to take my life, I will have nothing to say."
"I have already conveyed the Second Madam's words. Then I will not disturb the Eldest Madam any more. I'm taking my leave!" After saying that, he bowed to Xu Panyue and left.
Mother Zhang is a smart person and she knows her identity very well.
As a servant, it is impossible for her to do anything to her master. So let the second wife, who can deal with Xu Panyue, deal with her.
……
Qing'anju
The old lady and Xi had a harmonious relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they had breakfast together.
"Mother, please don't blame your daughter-in-law for taking the initiative and not allowing Miaomiao to come and greet you every morning, right?" Xi added half a bowl of fish porridge to the old lady's bowl and said slowly.
The old lady smiled knowingly, "Of course not, it suits my taste. During their wedding period, she should spend more time with Shaochen. Instead of wasting this time on me, their wife, it would be better for the two of them to stay in the house for a while longer."
"Who knows, in a month or two, we might get good news. I'm looking forward to holding my great-grandson in my arms!"
"Mother, do you like your great-grandson?" Xi asked.
"Oh~" The old lady gave her a slight look, "I don't have that idea. I like both great-grandchildren equally. But..."
She sighed helplessly, with a slightly sad expression on her face, "Qiqing, if it is true as Miaomiao said, and we only have one year left in the mansion, what should we do?"
"Mother, it's not the entire Marquis' Mansion, but our eldest wife and you." Xi corrected.
"Ah~" the old lady sighed again, "These past few days, I have been wondering why! Why did the second brother and the others do this? They are all my own children!"
"Since they were young, I have taught them to be friendly and respectful to each other. They really have a very good relationship with each other! Not to mention that they are my biological children, even if the third child is not my biological child, I still love him just as much!"
"Could it be that he is not happy about the fact that the eldest son inherited the title of Marquis? That's why he feels resentful towards me and your family?"
"But, half of the reason for the inheritance of the title is that the eldest son is the eldest son, so the title should have been his. The other half is because the eldest son worked hard and earned it through military merit!"
"Why is he resentful about this? Qiqing, do you think it's possible that... Miaomiao misunderstood?"
After all, this matter is still outrageous!
The old lady couldn't bear to convict the second branch's family just based on Xu Zhimiao's thoughts!
But isn't it even more outrageous that they could hear Xu Zhimiao's thoughts?
Xi thought about it seriously and said seriously, "Mother, if not, how about we give it a try?"
"How to test?" the old lady asked anxiously.
"Just pick someone in the mansion and make him make a mistake in front of Miaomiao on purpose to attract her attention. Let Miaomiao tell us what this person has done that we don't know."
"If the verification is successful, then we really have to... be wary of the second room."
"Mother, I know that my husband and my second brother are both your sons. You are my dearest. Of course, you can't bear it. But mother, I am also a mother. I can't bear to let my three children die in vain."
"And my husband..."
"I understand, I understand!" The old lady interrupted her and nodded repeatedly, "Qiqing, I understand everything you said. I will do as you say."
"Grandma~" Li Wanru's aggrieved voice came from outside the door, almost with a hint of tears.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other.
Why is this precious kid here? And crying?
Then Li Wanru came in and said, "Woo woo... Grandma, you must make the decision for me!"
"What's wrong? Who bullied our precious little golden egg? Come, tell your aunt, she will support you and take charge of the matter!" Xi stood up, took Li Wanru's hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and coaxed her with kind words.
"It's Xu Panyue~!" Li Wanru said angrily, "She actually used me and my cousin! He actually wanted to defile..."
She stopped talking before she finished speaking.
No, you can't say that.
This was what she overheard from Xu Zhimiao's inner thoughts, and it happened a year later.
At least now, that hypocrite Mu Yiwen was still very nice and polite to her.
If she just said it out loud, everyone would know about it.
This would not only harm Xu Zhimiao, but would also alert the enemy.
Although Mu Yiwen’s affairs cannot be told, Xu Panyue’s affairs can still be told.
"What did Yiwen do to you?" the old lady looked at her anxiously and asked.
Xi looked at her with eyes full of worry.
"He doesn't discipline his wife strictly!" Li Wanru said angrily, "He allowed Xu Panyue, that moon person, to secretly plot against me and use me as a pawn."
"On the surface, she treated me as a friend, but in reality, she used me to irritate the Crown Prince's wife. Humph! I have always treated her as a good friend and sister, but she caused me to alienate the relationship between my cousin and his wife!"
"She's so mean! I don't want to be friends with her anymore! I want to break up with her!"
"Hmm!" Xi and the old lady looked at each other and sighed softly, "I thought it was something serious, but it's just like this!"
Li Wanru's eyes widened, and she put her hands on her waist, "Aunt, isn't this serious enough? I almost caused my cousin and his wife to have a quarrel! If they have a quarrel, then my grandmother won't be able to hold her little great-grandson or great-granddaughter!"
"If it gets worse, if the couple quarrels, it will affect the entire mansion. The mansion will be laughed at, and it will affect my uncle's prestige in the court!"
"Serious! Too serious!" Xi slammed the table heavily, "Let's go to the second room. We must get them to give an explanation!"
