When the Jia Zhen returned to the Sakura Temple,
Xia Lu had already changed back into women's clothes.
"What did Madam say?" Xia Lu saw that the Jia Zhen had returned,
He asked.
"Madam was naturally angry. She called me evil creature. She has never scolded me like that before." The Jia Zhen pursed his lips,
He still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
This time, he was indeed arrogant. He regretted it.
"And then?" Xia Lu thought to himself,
She just scolded you a few times,
And then there was no punishment? No way, right? Her mother-in-law doted on this guy so much?
"Then Master made me kneel in the ancestral hall for three days.
From tomorrow onwards,
For three consecutive days, "the Jia Zhen said.
"And then that was it?" Xia Lu asked.
The Jia Zhen was dissatisfied,
He looked at Xia Lu,
And said, "Why are you talking like that? I knelt in the ancestral hall for three days. Don't you feel sorry for me?" The Jia Zhen was very dissatisfied when he heard Xia Lu's punitive tone.
"Hehe." Xia Lu rolled his eyes,
"I know,
I feel sorry for you, okay?
You smell of alcohol.
Go take a bath. "Xia Lu refreshed the Jia Zhen's level of favor in his parents-in-law's heart,
No wonder he became so scumbag later,
It turned out that he had been spoiled since a long time ago,
With this kind of doting attitude towards his son,
It would be strange if he did not become bad. Since her parents-in-law could not bear to discipline him, then let her do it. Anyway, he was not her son. She would definitely not feel sorry for him.
The Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu, who had already gone to bed and was ready to rest. He felt a little regretful. He wanted this woman to help him take a bath. Alright, she was tired today. Next time. The Jia Zhen felt regretful in his heart. He had no idea what more terrible punishment was waiting for him in three days.
The Jia Zhen's side was peaceful, but Dian Deng's house was full of fighting.
"Auntie, these things are all mine. Can't I take them away?" Dian Deng was furious. She had thought that her master would punish her for helping the Qian Family plot against her master. She didn't expect that he would punish her like this. He would let this woman from the Qian Family take her place. After all, she had been with her master for so many years. She never thought that her master would be soft-hearted because of her. The last bit of affection between her master and the young miss had also disappeared in this plot.
"These aren't yours. With your monthly salary, you can't get these things." Madam You was, after all, the legitimate daughter of a third-rank official. She was experienced and knowledgeable. She roughly calculated the things that Dian Deng had. With Dian Deng's salary, it was impossible for him to have these things. She didn't know where these things came from. Since she had replaced Dian Deng's position, in the future, if there were any problems with Dian Deng, these problems would still be blamed on her.
"These were bestowed to me by the young miss before she died," Dian Deng said angrily.
"How can you prove that these things were bestowed to you by my cousin? If she bestowed them to you from the Qian Family's dowry, you can take them away. If she bestowed them to you with things from Ningguo Province, you can't take them away," Madam You said.
Don't blame me. I just want to continue living in Ningguo Province. She can't make mistakes. She can't let others find excuses for her. Humans are selfish. You can only blame yourself. Who asked you to help the Qian Family plot against me?
Dian Deng was very angry. She wanted the servants in the house to help her. However, because of what the Jia Zhen had said, these servants knew that their future master would be Madam You. Therefore, they didn't do anything. She didn't even touch Xiao E, Madam You's personal maid. Their slave contracts were all in Ningguo Province. They definitely couldn't leave Ningguo Province. Madam You would be their master in the future. If they made her unhappy today, she would have plenty of ways to torture them in the future.
Dian Deng was disheartened when she saw the servants' reaction. She could only take away less than half of the things that the Qian Clan had bestowed to her. Indeed, many of the things that the Qian Clan had bestowed to her were from Ningguo Province. After all, the Qian Clan was in charge of her and the Jia Zhen's courtyard. They had obtained a lot of good things. These things were given to Dian Deng as a reward.
After putting away her things, Dian Deng sat in the hall and waited for dawn. She knew that she still had a chance. If she seized this chance, she might not be sent back to the Qian Family.
She was very clear about her fate of being sent back to the Qian Family. Even if she had money with her, after she was sent back to the Qian Family, these things would no longer belong to her. Her parents and brothers would definitely take her money for themselves. In the end, she would be married off by her parents and brothers. She was no longer in her original body. The family that she would marry into would definitely not have good conditions. She could already see the rest of her life being tortured by hard work.
She still had one more chance. She must seize it. Dian Deng comforted herself in her heart.
As usual, Xia Lu woke up. She turned her head and saw the Jia Zhen sleeping soundly. She shook her head, changed her clothes, and went out. Today, it was Xiao Fei who accompanied Xia Lu out for a walk.
"Did anything happen when Grandma and Master went out together yesterday?" Xiao Fei naturally knew that Xia Lu had disguised herself as a man and left with the Jia Zhen. After all, Xia Lu had made such a big move. She needed someone to help her cover up her lie. Xiao Fei was the person that Xia Lu had chosen. To be honest, Xia Lu valued Xiao Fei even more than the two dowries that she had brought over.
"Master was schemed against by the Qian Family. He brought back a concubine," Xia Lu said.
"Grandma didn't stop him?" Xiao Fei was surprised.
"We'll talk about this later. It's hard to explain in a few words." Xia Lu smiled.
"Grandma." Xiao Fei looked at Xia Lu with heartache. Grandma was really unfortunate to have met Master. If it had been a man like Master She from Xi Province, Grandma would definitely have had a better life. The news that the Jia Zhen was controlled by the Chang Clan had spread widely in the Jia Family. The servants did not have a good impression of the Jia Xie. They thought that he was afraid of his wife and was a disgrace to the status of men. However, in the hearts of all the servants, the Jia Xie was the best Mr. Right.
Xia Lu smiled and did not explain. She just enjoyed the morning light.
Just as Xia Lu was about to change to another place to stroll, a figure suddenly appeared and knelt in front of Xia Lu. "Grandma, I beg you. I beg you to be merciful and save this servant."
Before Xia Lu could see the person clearly, Xiao Fei whispered to her, "This is Dian Deng's concubine."
Xia Lu suddenly realized. She had only seen the three concubines once, on the second day of her marriage. Then, these concubines were ordered to reflect in their rooms and never came out. However, Xia Lu was still clear about the background of these three concubines. The Hong Xiu concubine and the Tian Xiang concubine were given to the Jia Zhen by her mother-in-law. The purpose was to make trouble for the Qian Clan. Well, her mother-in-law's dislike of the Qian Clan was also very obvious.
And this Dian Deng concubine was given to the Jia Zhen by the Qian Clan. The purpose was naturally to fight against the two concubines sent by her mother-in-law. The Qian Clan looked down on the Jia Zhen, so naturally, they could not curry favor with the Jia Zhen. However, if they allowed the two concubines to curry favor with the Jia Zhen, the Jia Zhen's heart would be won over. Although she was a grandmother, her life was not easy. Therefore, she pushed Dian Deng out and let Dian Deng fight for favor. Although there were two people in Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang, didn't Dian Deng have her support? Therefore, the three concubines, Hong Xiu, Tian Xiang, and Dian Deng, were fighting fiercely. This also meant that her mother-in-law and the Qian Clan were fighting fiercely.
In the end, this deadlock was broken because of the death of the Qian Clan. In this way, her mother-in-law and the Qian Clan could be regarded as a model of a love-hate relationship. Her mother-in-law hated the Qian Clan so much, but she did not do anything to the Qian Clan. If it was not true love, what was it?
"Grandma, please, save me." Dian Deng looked at Xia Lu with hope. Her grandmother was her last life-saving straw. She heard from the servants in the Sakura Temple that her grandmother was very kind. Moreover, she had no conflict of interest with her grandmother. Her grandmother would definitely save her. Dian Deng's heart was filled with infinite hope.
"Save you for what? Is there someone who wants to harm you? "Xia Lu asked.
"I beg grandma, I beg this servant. Master wants to send this servant back to the Qian Clan. If this servant goes back to the Qian Clan, then only death will await this servant. I beg grandma to save this servant." Dian Deng pleaded.
"Why does Master want to send you back?" Xia Lu's heart moved. She suddenly understood Jia Zhen's actions. However, she still wanted to verify it.
"This servant also doesn't know why Master wants to send this servant back. It's just that yesterday, Master suddenly brought a woman back to the manor. He told this servant to pack up and leave. He told this servant to give this servant the house, servants, clothes, and jewelry to that new woman." Dian Deng played a trick and hid the fact that she helped the Qian Clan to scheme against Jia Zhen. She was very clear that although her grandmother was kind, if she heard that she schemed against her master, no matter how kind she was, she would not save her.
The corners of Xia Lu's mouth curled up slightly, and then returned to normal. Jia Zhen did the right thing. Although the Qian Clan sent another concubine over, another concubine was sent back. She did not know whether the Qian Clan felt that it was a loss or not.
Because of her guilty conscience, Dian Deng lowered her head and did not see the smile on Xia Lu's face. Xiao Fei stood a few steps behind Xia Lu and also did not see it. Xia Lu was very successful in maintaining her image.
Xia Lu looked at Dian Deng and opened her mouth slightly. She softly said, "You can get up. I might not be able to help you with this."
Dian Deng looked up at Xia Lu in astonishment. It seemed that she did not dare to believe that Xia Lu would speak like this.
"Ye naturally has his reasons for doing this. As Ye's wife, I can only listen to Ye's arrangements. Whatever Ye says is what it is." Xia Lu thought to herself. Her image was gentle and virtuous, but this did not mean that her image could be used by anyone. Did they really think that she did not know what Dian Deng was thinking? Wasn't it just wanting to use her kindness and magnanimity to stay? Wishful thinking.
Xiao Fei, who was standing behind Xia Lu, relaxed. She was really afraid that her mistress would agree. These concubines were all ungrateful wretches. Grandmother had agreed this time, but next time, she would snatch Grandmother's man. These people did not have the thought of repaying kindness in their hearts.
"Grandmother, I beg you, please help me." Dian Deng's eyes were filled with tears.
"Go and beg Ye. Ye is not a narrow-minded person. If you say a few good words, Ye will be soft-hearted." Xia Lu suggested.
Dian Deng smiled bitterly. She could deceive Grandmother. After all, Grandmother did not know that she had schemed against Ye. However, Ye was well aware. How could he be willing to let her go? Dian Deng sat on the ground, paralyzed.
