It was already late noon, and usually the villagers had already eaten. But because they were busy watching the drama between the Wang family and the Wu family today, most of the villagers started cooking. Seeing the Wang family father and son coming to invite him, the men all went to the Wang family happily.
There were five tables set up in the yard, and Wang Cheng led Little Brother Wang outside to accompany the guests. After Chen Afu, Wu and other women had dinner in the house, they began to clean up their belongings. The Wang family was extremely poor. Except for a few old clothes, there was nothing worth taking away. Mrs. Wu looked at the embroidery frame for a long time, but she still didn't bring it with her. She never wanted to touch it again in her life.
After the meal, Wang Cheng gave all the unfinished dishes to the guests, and said that after he left, if they liked anything, they could take it all.
Chen Afu and others walked out of the yard with the Wang family. Wang Cheng and Wu looked back at the thatched house where they had lived for nine years, said goodbye to those who saw them off, and got into the car with tears in their eyes.
Chen Afu took Wang Xiaomei and Xia Yue in a carriage, and the other three members of the Wang family took a car. As a group of carriages and horses were leaving the village, they heard a cry and howl coming from outside.
Chen Afu opened the curtain and saw Mrs. Wu, an old man, and three men following the carriage, crying, "Daughter, you have no conscience. You have learned the craftsmanship of the old Wu family, but you don't care about my life or death..."
This family is the best. Not only are the people weird, but their ideas are even weirder.
Wang Xiaomei shrank her little body into Chen Afu's arms and said timidly, "Afraid!"
Chen Afu hugged her tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, little sister. When we go to our new home, you will never see them again."
When Wang Xiaomei heard this, her eyes were bright and she pursed her lips in joy.
Chen Afu smiled again and pinched the little girl's thin face. She is a modern person and is unwilling to take life lightly. Luo Yuan and the guards quietly asked her if she needed to "do" the two immortals. Chen Afu didn't agree, just let his uncle's family escape their oppression forever.
The carriage entered the city gate at dusk, and it was already dark when it arrived at the Marquis' Mansion. They went to the Bamboo Garden to eat first, and then ordered people to clean up the yard. He also took out ten taels of silver and asked the sewing room in the mansion to make several sets of clothes for the Wang family.
It was already late at night when we sent the Wang family away. Chu Lingxuan hasn't come back yet. Since the Wang Cheng incident happened, several men in the Chu family have become even busier.
The next day, Chu Lingxuan still did not come back. He only asked his soldiers to come and tell Chen Afu, asking her to continue preparing things for the return journey, and set off on time on the afternoon of the 26th.
Although Chen Afu was eager to return home, he still had to wait patiently.
Chen Afu steamed dozens more cakes that day. In addition to giving them to the master of the Chu family and several members of the Wang family, he also gave 20 cakes to the Queen Mother and 10 to Prince Rui's Mansion. He even gave one to each of the several respectable servants. Not to Mr. Li.
When Mrs. Li heard about it, she was so angry that she ran to the old man to argue with him, saying that Chen Afu didn't take her as an elder seriously and that she was not even as good as a servant. He also said that Chen Afu brought poor relatives into the house to eat and drink, and also asked the sewing room to make clothes for those poor ghosts. It was really unruly...
The old man had long lost his patience with Mrs. Li and said, "If you want others to respect you as an elder, you must also look like an elder. You don't regard yourself as a person, so why should others regard you as an elder." As for relatives who come to live in the Hou Mansion, they should live there, because this house will belong to Xuan'er and the others from now on..."
Every word of the old man's words was heart-breaking, especially the last sentence, which made Mrs. Li so uncomfortable that she burst into tears at that time. She was so angry that she asked her wife to go to the big kitchen and sewing room to hint that there was no need to treat the Wang family as guests.
The stewards of the kitchen and sewing room said that the Third Madam specifically told them that the Wang family must be well entertained and that the meals should be the same as the master's. Even the 10 taels of silver that the eldest grandmother had paid to make clothes for the sewing room were given back by the Third Madam...
These things gradually reached Chen Afu's ears from Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo's mother is the second manager of the big kitchen, and the big kitchen is the center of gossip spreading and production in the house. As long as it has something to do with Chen Afu, Xiao Mo will report it to Chen Afu word for word.
Chen Afu praised Xiaohong, explained it to her mother, and wrote two recipes for making snacks to her mother.
She was afraid that Mrs. Li would secretly cause trouble for Wang Cheng's family, so she sent Mrs. Hong from her own courtyard to serve in Wang Cheng's courtyard.
Sure enough, as Chen Afu expected, two servants often said unpleasant things in front of the Wang family, and one time they accidentally pushed Xiaomei Wang backwards. Wang Cheng once went out to do business and returned home, but was also made things difficult by the concierge.
Chen Afu was extremely angry. She tolerated it if he offended her, thinking that one more thing would be better than one less thing. She didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Mr. Li just yet. But if she offends her uncle's family, that won't do!
Chu Lingxuan is the prince, and he is the prince's wife. They are the real owners of the Hou Mansion. Anyone with a clear head knows this. Chu Lingxuan has not been in the house for a long time, these people are really rebelling.
She did not go to see the third lady, but directly called the housekeeper Chu, the inner courtyard steward Cai, and the third lady's eldest girl Yuzhu to Zhuxuan.
He did not invite the three of them to sit down, and sneered, "My eldest son has not been in the house for a long time, and I am a newly married countryman. Naturally, others will not take me seriously. I am thick-skinned and have been bullied." I can only endure it. But my uncle's family is only here to stay for a few days, and they are being humiliated like this by the servants. How can I explain to my mother?" Wiping his tears, he said to Hong Fei and the other girls, "Go and explain to me. I beg for mercy from Butler Chu, Aunt Cai, and Miss Yuzhu, please be kind and please don’t let the servants bully my uncle’s family.”
The three housekeepers of Chu were so frightened after hearing this that they all knelt down and said, "Old slave (servant) does not dare. It is Lao slave (servant)'s mistake that made my uncle's family suffer. We will do it now." Go check it out and give your uncle an explanation..."
Two hours later, six servants were arrested in the mansion, including the two right-hand women around the second lady. They were beaten twenty times and sold the house directly. These six people all shouted that they were wronged, saying that the second lady told them to do this.
Mrs. Li cried and fussed, and was slapped in the mouth by the second master who came over.
After this incident, the third lady came to Zhuxuan to visit Chen Afu in person. The old Marquis, the third master, and the second master all sent people to Zhuxuan to tell her not to think too much, and that the Marquis Mansion was her home.
Chen Afu still fell ill.
In the past two days, some rumors have spread among the servants of the Hou Mansion, saying that the Second Madam just wanted to prevent the Crown Prince and the eldest grandma from returning to the Hou Mansion, so she did so many things...
Mrs. Li did have this idea, and many people knew that she had this idea, but word of it spread, and the second master and his family were so embarrassed that they did not dare to leave the yard. Li refused to admit it and went to the third lady crying, saying that someone had framed her and asked the third lady to find the person who spread the rumors and punish her severely.
