Jia Zhen turned from gloating to gnashing his teeth in a second,
He became hopeless again,
The expression on his face was very interesting,
Xia Lu tried hard to maintain his pitiful appearance and not be amused by Jia Zhen's expression.
"Grandma, get up quickly,
Don't squat,
Be careful that your legs hurt, "Xiao Fei pouted. She could only complain about the dissatisfaction in her heart towards Jia Zhen. After all, Jia Zhen was the master, and she was a servant. She absolutely could not speak ill of the master.
Xia Lu pretended to look at Jia Zhen timidly,
But in his heart, he was already laughing,
This fellow still hadn't learned his lesson.
"Young Master," Xiao Fei saw that Xia Lu was unwilling to get up,
She was angry and called out.
Jia Zhen tried hard to suppress his anger,
"Get up," Jia Zhen glared at Xia Lu.
Xia Lu stood up pitifully,
He looked like a little wife.
Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu's appearance and the anger in his heart grew stronger. As expected, he shouldn't have been so good to this woman,
This woman would only take an inch and take a mile. Thinking back to before,
This woman actually asked him to call her Husband,
She actually called him Wife,
Jia Zhen was furious from the bottom of his heart. "Go, call Hong Xiu over. Today, I don't want Xia Clan to serve me," Jia Zhen thought of the three concubines that he had forgotten about these few days.
Hearing Jia Zhen's words, Xia Lu narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "Very good, these days he suffered at my hands. She almost forgot that Jia Zhen was a scumbag. He didn't remind me just now and almost exposed me in front of the girl. Let's wait and see tonight."
Xiao Fei glanced at Xia Lu, feeling very indignant for Xia Lu. "Young Master, did you forget that Hong Xiu's concubine was punished by Madam to copy scriptures and is now grounded? She can't come no matter what. Besides, this is the main courtyard of the Sakura Temple, the house where Grandma lives. If you let Hong Xiu's concubine come, where will Grandma stay? "If you really want to go to Hong Xiu's concubine's place, you can only ask the servant to carry you there."
Xia Lu heard Xiao Fei's words. This girl was not bad, he had to use her well.
When Jia Zhen heard Xiao Fei's words, he became even angrier. Why should he leave? He was still injured, he didn't want to leave the main courtyard. Jia Zhen glanced at Xiao Fei. "Get out."
Xiao Fei still wanted to say something, but Xia Lu said, "Xiao Fei, you can leave first." Jia Zhen was now angry. She, the Jia Zhen, couldn't touch this girl, but the Jia Zhen had many ways. She still had some use for this girl, how could she let the Jia Zhen deal with her?
"Grandma!" Xiao Fei was anxious.
"Don't worry, Husband was just joking with me." Xia Lu forced a smile.
"Uh …" Xiao Fei looked at the situation and was at a loss. In the end, she could only stomp her feet and leave the bedroom.
After Xiao Fei left, Xia Lu walked to the door and closed it.
"You two-faced woman, you are simply cheating people to pay with their lives. You were the one who did the martial-arts squat. When did you ask me to punish you?" Jia Zhen was angry just thinking about it.
"Don't be in a hurry to talk about this. Let's talk about the Hong Xiu's concubine you just asked to come over. Little Jia Zhen's wife, are you planning to pull up your pants and not admit it?" Xia Lu sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at Jia Zhen. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and the look in his eyes was very dangerous.
"I, I … Hong Xiu is my concubine. What, what's wrong with asking Hong Xiu to accompany me?" Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu with a little fear in his eyes, but he tried not to show his fear.
"There's nothing wrong with it, but I'm very unhappy. What should I do?" Xia Lu lowered her body and looked into Jia Zhen's eyes. There was a storm in her eyes. It seemed that as long as Jia Zhen acted rashly, the storm in her eyes would swallow him up.
Jia Zhen was tricked by her, bullied by her, and often had an aggrieved expression on his face. However, this person was someone who would have an affair with her daughter-in-law in the future. His scum was deeply ingrained in his bones. His current softness and cuteness was only because of his broken leg. In the future, when his leg was healed and he could walk and jump, could it be that he would still be the same Jia Zhen who was lying in bed and allowing her to bully him?
Xia Lu opened her eyes and reflected on herself. Jia Zhen, on the other side, could not sleep at this time. He really did not understand why this woman suddenly became like this, but he did not feel that he was wrong. This woman clearly bullied him first, and now he was the one who was unfaithful.
Jia Zhen did not understand. He did not know when he fell asleep. His mind was filled with thoughts, and he fell asleep in a daze.
Xia Lu did not sleep the whole night. She kept thinking about how to treat Jia Zhen in the future and how to treat Jia Zhen. She understood that if she was a native woman here, she would not feel awkward even though she was sad when she heard that Jia Zhen went to Hong Xiu. However, she was not. She had the memory of her previous life. Although she had already prepared herself for a man to have multiple wives, when it really happened, she still minded.
"Grandma, why do I feel so tired?" Xia Lu woke up at the usual time. Xiao Cui looked at the dark circles under Xia Lu's eyes and asked.
"It's nothing. Accompany me for a walk. After we come back and change, we will go and greet Madam," Xia Lu said.
"Yes." Xiao Cui accompanied Xia Lu to walk around the mansion. When they passed by a garden, Xiao Cui led Xia Lu into it.
Xia Lu found that the plum blossoms in the courtyard had not withered yet. It was already February.
"I didn't expect the plum blossoms to bloom for so long," Xia Lu said in surprise.
"The plum blossoms here are Duke Ning's favorite. The plum blossoms here are different from those in other places. Every year, they wither later than those in other places," Xiao Cui said.
"Yes." Xia Lu nodded. "There are so many plum blossoms in this garden. It must be troublesome to take care of them, right?" Xia Lu asked.
"It is indeed a little troublesome, but there are specialized gardeners taking care of it, so it's not a big deal," Xiao Cui said.
Xia Lu looked at the plum blossoms in the courtyard. She had some ideas. The red plum blossoms were bright in color, and their fragrance was fresh and elegant. They should be good for making essential oils. Xia Lu began to think about the flowers and plants in her mansion. Unfortunately, she was not in charge of the mansion yet. She could not do anything yet. She was mentally exhausted.
Xia Lu walked around the garden. Because it was early spring, there were no other flowers except for the plum blossoms and peach blossoms in the garden. However, some of the flowers had sprouted and were full of vitality. They looked delicate and pretty. Compared to the bleakness of winter, this was better. She liked to be lively, so she could not appreciate the bleakness of winter.
After returning from the garden, Xia Lu changed her clothes and had a little breakfast. Then, she went to greet her mother-in-law. After serving her mother-in-law breakfast, her mother-in-law began to teach her how to manage the house.
As an executive of a company, she felt that the arrangement of the staff in Ningguo Mansion was quite unreasonable. Using this kind of rule to manage the household would only cause the busy people to be busy and the idle people to be bored to death. Moreover, taking the purchase of ingredients for the household as an example, although everyone knew that there was no fish in clear water, there would still be some oil and water leaking out. However, this pool of water was a little too muddy and the oil was too thick. Although she knew that Ningguo Mansion was rich and overbearing, with this kind of leakage of oil and water, it was no wonder that Nanny Lai's family could be so rich in the future.
After all, Mama Lai was Madam Jia Shi's personal nanny. She married the Duke Rongguo's personal attendant and had two sons. Her eldest son, Lai Da, was working in Rongguo Province while Lai Er was working in Ningguo Province. Both of them were in charge of the servants in the mansion. For example, if they received rebates from the kitchen, they should share some of it with Lai Er. After all, Lai Er was in charge of all the servants in the mansion. If Mama Lai Er was not willing to do it, then she would ask someone else to do it for her. Xia Lu shook her head and thought to herself, How evil.
Xia Lu immediately sensed the problem and said, "I didn't expect Lai Er to be so capable. He's actually in charge of all the servants in the mansion."
"He's still useful. He's helped me a lot. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can also look for him." Madam Jia He smiled. Obviously, she was very satisfied with Lai Er.
Xia Lu smiled and nodded. I can look for him if I encounter any problems. If I'm short of money, can I also look for him? I just want to find someone to confiscate the Lai family's property. I'll definitely become rich overnight. The wealth I'll get, let alone compared to Ningguo Province and Rongguo Province, might even be more than her mother-in-law's dowry.
Xia Lu thought in her heart, but she didn't show it. She knew very well that in order for a person to slowly distrust another person, she had to do it step by step. She had to slowly discover that if you suddenly put all the evidence in front of her that this person wasn't trustworthy, in the end, she definitely wouldn't believe you.
"Madam, Young Master Lin's grandmother is here." A servant girl came in and reported.
"Let her in," Madam Jia He said.
"Yes." The servant girl went out and brought in Jia Lin's wife, Jia Liushi.
"Madam." Jia Liushi bowed to Madam Jia He.
"You came at the right time. I just finished teaching Zheng 'er's wife. Later, show her around. She's not very familiar with the household management. Teach her more," Madam Jia He said.
