The next day,
The Jia Zhen woke up.
He found that the bed beside him was cold again.
He pursed his lips.
He called for someone.
"Young Master, you're awake?" Xiao Fei heard the noise and walked in.
"Where's your grandmother?" the Jia Zhen asked.
"Young Master, you forgot that today is the day when Grandmother returns home.
Grandmother should have left the residence by now. "
"She should be on her way back." Xiao Fei calculated the time.
"Why didn't she call me? Shouldn't I go with her?" Jia Zhen calculated the time. Indeed, it was true.
Indeed, it was the day when the Hedong Lioness returned home.
But why didn't that Hedong Lioness bring him back with her?
Xiao Fei replied respectfully, "But, madam said,
Your leg is broken.
This time, you don't have to go back with Grandmother. After Young Master's leg recovers, he will go to Grandmother's family to apologize.
So,
This time, you don't have to go back with Grandmother. When Grandmother left,
She saw that you were sleeping soundly.
She didn't ask me to wake you up. "
"Alright.
I know. "
"You can leave." The Jia Zhen was a little upset.
As for what was wrong, he couldn't say.
"Yes, but Young Master, don't you need breakfast now?" Xiao Fei asked hesitantly before she left.
"What's the use? I don't have any appetite." The Jia Zhen glared at Xiao Fei. This girl, why couldn't she understand him?
"Oh, then I'll go out." Xiao Fei shrugged. She was already used to their young master's temper from time to time. When she heard the Jia Zhen ask her to leave, she could only turn around and leave.
Just as Xiao Fei was about to walk out of the bedroom, the Jia Zhen suddenly called out to her. "Come back."
Xiao Fei turned around helplessly and said, "Young Master, do you have any other orders?"
"Go, find two servants for me. I'm going to the washroom." The Jia Zhen felt that his stomach was uncomfortable, and his expression was very ugly.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Xiao Fei hurriedly went out and found a servant to carry the Jia Zhen to the washroom.
Xia Lu sat in the carriage on the way back to her maternal home with her two maidservants, Bi Yun and Bi Yue, as well as a maidservant from Ningguo Province, Xiao Cui. Originally, she did not want to bring Xiao Cui with her, but when she went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law in the morning, her mother-in-law said that she had to bring Xiao Cui with her. If her maternal family suddenly asked about the Jia family, she would be able to answer them immediately with Xiao Cui around. This way, she would be able to protect her dignity.
After she brought Xiao Cui and sat in the carriage on the way back to her maternal home, Xia Lu finally understood why her mother-in-law wanted her to bring Xiao Cui with her. After all, in her mother-in-law's eyes, the Jia Zhen first slandered her. She broke the Jia Zhen's leg, then the Jia Zhen hit her, and even wanted her to cook for her three concubines. Xia Lu was afraid that she would complain to her maternal family. After all, her father had a good relationship with the Jia Jing. Xia Lu could guarantee that her mother-in-law did not tell Jia Jing about these things. Otherwise, Jia Jing would not be able to let it go without asking. Therefore, she was sure that her mother-in-law had kept everything a secret, except for the part about the Jia Zhen breaking her leg.
Therefore, if she brought Xiao Cui with her, she would not talk nonsense in her maternal family. In this way, Jia Jing would not know anything, and her son, whom she loved the most, would not be beaten by Jia Jing because of these things.
Xia Lu originally did not want Xiao Cui to go back with her because she was a little xenophobic. After all, it was Xia family that was going back. It was fine to bring along the dowry maid. Although the dowry maid would not be with her for long, it was still different. Since her mother-in-law was afraid that she would complain and wanted her to bring Xiao Cui, then she would bring her along. She did not intend to complain in the first place.
Jia Zhen came out of the bathroom, feeling relaxed. At this time, Xiao Fei came in with water. After the Jia Zhen finished washing up, Xiao Fei said, "Young Master, should we prepare breakfast now?"
"Go ahead," Jia Zhen said casually.
Xiao Fei heard the Jia Zhen's words and began to call for breakfast. Before long, the Jia Zhen's breakfast was placed on the table. The Jia Zhen picked up his chopsticks and casually took a few bites. He felt that he had no appetite at all. He could not help but think of the scene last night when the violent woman fed him. He muttered softly, "Sure enough, only when two people eat together can one have an appetite."
"Young Master, what are you talking about?" Xiao Fei did not hear what the Jia Zhen said clearly.
The Jia Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "Nothing. You can go out and wait. You don't have to stand here and wait on me." The Jia Zhen felt that with such an insensible girl standing beside him, he could not eat anymore.
"Yes." Xiao Fei bowed and turned to leave. She thought to herself that the Young Master was becoming more and more difficult to wait on. She should have gone back to her parents' home with Grandma and let Xiao Cui stay here to wait on the Young Master. Xiao Fei pursed her lips. She was somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Cui. Although they were all the four main girls in the Sakura Temple, there was still competition among them. Xiao Fei had always looked down on Xiao Cui. Although Madam had instructed her to report to Madam if anything happened to the Young Master and Grandma in the Sakura Temple, even if she told Madam, she would be betraying the Young Master and Grandma. She did not like Xiao Cui.
After Xiao Fei left, there was only the Jia Zhen in the bedroom. He looked at the table full of food and still could not eat. He took a few bites and asked Xiao Fei to come in and clean up. Then he lay on the bed and looked at the top of the bed. He thought of the two dinners he had with Xia Lu. It seemed that he had enjoyed both dinners.
"In that case, I will give you a surprise for the Xia Clan." The Jia Zhen looked at the top of the bed and smiled. Sure enough, he was kind. The Xia Clan was so annoying, but he still wanted to give them a surprise.
"Xiao Fei, go and call Madam. Tell her that I have something important to tell her." The Jia Zhen began to order Xiao Fei around again.
Xiao Fei, who had just sat down and rested for a while, could not help but roll her eyes. Okay, you are the master and I am the servant. I have to do whatever you say. Xiao Fei had no choice but to go to Ninggyeongdang to find Madam Jia.
"Zheng 'er is looking for me?" Madam Jia was a little surprised.
"Yes." Xiao Fei nodded.
"Did he say anything?" Madam Jia asked doubtfully.
"No, he is looking for Madam urgently," Xiao Fei said.
Zheng 'er's leg is broken. I haven't seen him yet. "The Chang Clan smiled. Today, her sister-in-law began to show off again. She said that Jia Zhu had been enlightened, so she naturally wanted to hire the best teacher. In other words, she was targeting the Zhang Clan. To be honest, she did not want to take on this matter. If the Jia Zhu did not do well in his studies, with the temper of the Wang Clan, they would definitely blame the teacher for not teaching well. At that time, they would definitely blame her. She did not want to do such a thankless thing at all. In the morning, she had set the rules at her mother-in-law's place, but she did not relent. Now that she had time, she did not want to see the Wang Clan's vile faces in Rongguo Province, so she could only come to the East House to hide.
"Okay, let's go together and see what that vile creature is doing." Madam Jia stood up and went to the Sakura Temple with the Jia Chang Clan.
Madam Jia and the Jia Chang Clan arrived at the Sakura Temple together. "Little ancestor, what's wrong with you?"
When the Jia Zhen saw Madam Jia, his eyes lit up and he said, "Madam, I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it? Your Uncle She's wife is here to see you. Why didn't you greet her first? "Madam Jia glared at the Jia Zhen.
"Aunt She, I'm sorry. I didn't see you just now. Are you here to talk to Madam?" the Jia Zhen saw the Jia Chang Clan and asked.
"That's right. What happened to your leg?" the Jia Chang Clan asked.
The Jia Zhen wanted to say that it was that violent woman from the Xia Clan who broke it. However, he remembered that he had also said that it was the Xia Clan who broke it. In the end, the Old Master and Madam didn't believe him. Instead, they criticized him and accused him of framing the Xia Clan. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. "I accidentally fell off the bed and hurt my leg," said Lin Feng.
"How could you be so careless? Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?" the Jia Chang Clan asked.
Madam Jia thought to herself. As expected, this child wanted to slander the Xia Clan. Now he admitted that he had accidentally broken his leg. "I've asked the physician in the residence to take a look. After all, this child has just gotten married. It's inauspicious to ask the imperial physician to take a look now. The physician in the residence is not inferior to the imperial physician in the palace. Let him take a look first. After a few days, we'll ask the imperial physician in the palace to take a look and see how the recovery is," Madam Jia answered on behalf of the Jia Zhen.
"En, you have to be careful about the broken leg. Don't move it," the Jia Chang Clan said.
"Of course. Zheng 'er's wife is very careful. She tied a silk cloth at the head of the bed. Zheng' er's leg is placed on the silk cloth. When he sleeps at night, he won't accidentally touch his injured leg," Madam Jia said.
"She is indeed a meticulous and virtuous woman. No one thought of putting his leg on the silk cloth before." The Jia Chang Clan nodded.
Jia Zhen, who was at the side, heard her mother and aunt praising Xia Lu. She couldn't help but curl her lips. That woman was not attentive and virtuous. She was clearly a lioness who was used to being two-faced. However, in this manor, whether it was the master or the madam, they were all bewitched by that woman. They all felt that that woman was good.
"By the way, what did you ask me to come here for?" Madam Jia asked curiously.
"I just want to ask Madam. I'm not used to eating alone. Can you let the Xia Clan accompany you for breakfast and eat with me for dinner?" Jia Zhen asked.
As soon as the Jia Zhen said that, Madam Jia immediately frowned. She didn't expect Xia Lu to bewitch her son so quickly. She didn't want Xia Lu to not pay respects to her at night. Instead, she wondered if this child had come up with a new trick to bully the Xia Clan. "What are you planning to do this time? What new trick did you come up with to bully your wife? "
