Chapter 145 Wang Shi Became Smarter
Grandmother Jia: "Send someone to call her over!"
Lingmiao couldn't quite describe her feelings; she was both scared and relieved. Her grandmother had come, and she was saved.
Jia Hu mentally gave himself a small pat on the back.
[Yay! It's like a godsend! If it weren't for this miracle, no one would have told us about going home!]
Lingmiao is truly everyone's good granddaughter.
Grandmother Jia's anger suddenly subsided a bit; how adorable her grandson was!
Looking at Hu'er's still aggrieved little face, but in her ear...
But his words were filled with joy.
Grandmother Jia was surprised that her eldest grandson's thoughts were so conflicted.
"Lord Duke, you're back!"
The greetings of the maidservants at the door could be heard.
Grandmother Jia, Jia Hu, and Jia Zhu stood up to greet Jia Daishan.
It's so good that Grandpa is back; he can still pull out another Lai Da.
Jia Daishan looked at the scene in the courtyard without any surprise; he had just been handling official business.
The person he had left in his grandson's yard suddenly came to find him and reported what had happened. Jia Daishan was afraid that his grandson would be taken advantage of, so he rushed back.
On his way to the mansion, he already knew all the latest developments.
Upon hearing Jia Hu mention Lai Da and Lai Dajia, Jia Daishan sensed that there must be something wrong with those two.
Otherwise, given Hu'er's temperament, she would definitely tidy everything up and return everything to whoever arranged it.
As for his second daughter-in-law, he also knew about her meddling in his grandson's yard, and he needed to give her a warning.
Speaking of the Wang family, they are currently in a state of extreme panic.
She was just teasing Yuan Chun when Zhou Rui's wife rushed over and said that the maids had been sent back.
When Wang heard that it was Jia Hu who had asked her to return it, she asked why.
"Grandma, it's like this..."
Zhou Rui's wife dared not hide the truth, because she was the one who chose the person who was sent there, and she was terrified when she heard what had happened.
Zhou Rui's wife wanted to slap herself twice. She was so foolish. How could she have agreed to the Zhang family's suggestion to let her daughter serve in that courtyard after only a couple of drinks?
Now I'm just glad it wasn't their maids who had the problem, but the old lady's side. If something had happened to them, my grandmother would probably hate me to death.
Wang was utterly shocked by the incident, clutching her handkerchief, and angrily said:
"These little sluts, they dare to scheme about anything! They even try to sow discord between men and make them listen to them."
Still thinking about sleeping with them! They should all be kicked out!
Since Jia Zhu was involved, Wang Shi was so angry that her chest heaved. Zhou Rui's wife was frightened and quickly patted her back.
"Grandma, what do we do now?"
"These little whores should all be kicked out! They don't do their jobs properly all day, all they think about are these filthy things!"
Wang slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
"Let's go! We'll go there now and see what that good granddaughter of the Lai family has done. She's just a servant, yet she's gone too far!"
Zhou Ruijia quickly came over and pulled her away.
"My dear grandma! Grandma! We can't do that now. It's best if we can avoid it altogether. We can't go to it ourselves."
Wang glared at Zhou Rui's family.
"What are you saying? Zhu'er is my son!"
Zhou Rui was extremely anxious, but could only whisper:
"Grandma, but we've sent people from our side too."
"They sent people again..."
Wang finished speaking and then sat down.
Logically speaking, as Zhu'er's mother, it would be perfectly legitimate for her to arrange for a few maids to enter her son's courtyard.
But now, there's more than just Zhu'er in that courtyard. Hu'er holds the most important position in her parents-in-law's hearts in the entire Jia family.
Sending a maidservant before one's parents-in-law is considered overstepping one's bounds.
Having figured it out, Wang, unusually intelligent, looked at Zhou Rui's wife.
"Whoever you are, if you hadn't kept saying that you were Pearl's biological mother that day, I wouldn't have agreed to those lies!"
Zhou Ruijia's legs went weak, and she knelt down.
"Grandma, there was no one else! I just had a couple of sips of wine and casually agreed. I thought it was just a few maids, I didn't expect it to turn out like this!"
Zhou Rui's family has known her grandmother for so many years. If she didn't tell the truth, she would be just like that sister who came with her dowry.
This was her dowry maid, and after all these years, she's the only one left.
Thinking of Zhou Rui's wife's past dedication, Wang closed her eyes briefly.
"Tie him up. He'll come with me later to apologize to the old lady."
"Grandma, we can just handle it quietly, right? Young Master Hu didn't deal with it directly, but sent it back to us, which means he doesn't want to pursue the matter. Besides, it wasn't the person who sent it who did something wrong."
Wang's first expression of disdain was Zhou Rui's wife's shortsightedness.
"Hu'er is giving me, her second aunt, face, but this can't be kept from the old lady and the master. Besides, Hu'er's matter is a big deal."
They didn't do anything wrong, but they had the intention to, and that's wrong; that's dishonesty.
Looking at her grandmother, Zhou Ruijia suddenly felt a little unfamiliar with her. Why had her grandmother suddenly changed?
If Lady Wang could hear her, she would tell her the importance of learning to read and write more, and that she would be the mother of a future imperial concubine, so she should know more about things. Indeed, following her sister-in-law was the right choice.
Jia Hu's move caused a stir in several places, thanks to everyone.
Ms. Lai was very happy, watching her little grandson play. This little grandson was her precious treasure.
Just then, Lai Da rushed in and asked with a smile:
"Honey, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Come here, Xiao Bao, your grandfather is back."
Lai Dajia picked up his grandson.
"Look, it's Xiaobao's birthday today, and you're not even back."
Lai Da looked unwell and told the wet nurse to take his grandson away. Lai Da's wife looked at him in surprise.
"What's going on here?"
"It was you who sent Lingmiao to Young Master Jia Hu's courtyard."
"Yes, that girl is getting on in years. If she doesn't contribute now, it will be too late."
Lai said dismissively.
Lai was furious, almost breathing fire. If it weren't for the people at the door telling him that someone had gone to see the master and said that something had happened in Young Master Hu's courtyard...
He quickly inquired and learned that his wife was involved, which is why he rushed back.
"What are you doing? That's Young Master Hu's courtyard! How dare you!"
Our child doesn't need to be like that at all. It would be so much better if she were to marry into a respectable family after we've received some favors!"
Lai Dajia: "Look at the kind of life people live outside. Marrying outside is not as good as staying with the eldest or second eldest master, where you can eat and drink well."
Lai Da: "Our family doesn't need to do that now!"
"That's Young Master Hu, how dare you! Forget about that now, you'd better come with me to the old lady and apologize!"
"Young Master Hu, what's wrong? What offense have you committed? What happened?"
Furthermore, if the eldest master hadn't explicitly stated he wouldn't take a concubine, the second master would also be saying now, "Focus on your studies, I don't need this."
Lai Da suppressed his anger and quickly recounted what he had found out.
Lai Dajia was also shocked. How could this brat not be able to do such a simple thing right?
