The Matriarch pondered for a moment and said worriedly,""I think this girl has a story behind her. She's been sizing up Ji Xunyuan. She's not here to be a servant, she wants to be a master.”
"Matriarch, if you suspect Mei'e, then send someone to ask. If Old Master also has such intentions, why not marry her back and make her a side wife? Then, Old Master can give birth to many children in the Duke of Song Manor.”Haitang's generosity and consideration for the big picture was something the Matriarch had not expected.
No woman was willing to share her husband with others.
Although the Matriarch did not say anything, she knew that Haitang and Ji Xunyuan had feelings for each other. It was just a status.
However, the Matriarch wanted to find a wife for Ji Xunyuan and not a side room. Haitang was indeed the best candidate, but the Matriarch was not in a hurry. She wanted to properly test this girl. It would be great if he could become Ji Xunyuan's helper.
"Your idea is very good. It's just that you can ask around first.”The Matriarch did not expect Haitang to have other thoughts, so she put the matter on hold.
Haitang's expression had been calm the entire time, but her heart was already in turmoil. She now had another opponent in the Song Public House. One Aunt Du was not easy to deal with, and now there was a very intelligent Mei Er.
Other than letting the master and servant kill each other, Haitang had not thought of any other good way to deal with it.
In Aunt Du's room.
Ji Chengyang was sleeping soundly, completely unaware that his father was guarding him.
"Old Master, don't worry too much about Ji Chengyang's illness. I'll get someone to look for a doctor tomorrow. Perhaps everything will turn around.”Aunt Du's tone was gentle when she said this, and it came from the bottom of her heart.
Aunt Du had been looking at Ji Chengyang's pain and was unhappy. Now that she was being dragged down by Ji Chengyang, how could she be willing? If Ji Chengyang's illness was cured, Aunt Du would be relieved.
Although he had no choice but to poison the medicine that day. However, things were different now. Aunt Du also hoped that Ji Chengyang could take care of himself as soon as possible so that he could move into the garden. This would save her the trouble of having to take care of Ji Chengyang's daily needs.
Even so, Ji Xunyuan would come to see her a few more times, but compared to the two of them, the gains would not make up for the losses. Ji Xunyuan sat for a while longer and got up to leave. Aunt Du also returned to her room to rest.
The next morning, Mei'e stood at the side to dress up Aunt Du, but accidentally inserted a begonia flower. Aunt Du's face changed.
"Do you know how to do things or not?!" Aunt Du's hand slapped Mei'e's face.
A light finger left a mark on Mei-Er's face. She had not expected Aunt Du to be so temperamental. However, he could only lower his eyes and did not dare to speak.
"Let me tell you, from now on, no crabapple flowers can appear in my room. Even if it has anything to do with crabapple, move it all away.”Aunt Du angrily threw the begonia flower in front of the mirror.
The petals of the crabapple flower drifted away.
Granny Wang had just come in and saw this situation, so she came over to scold him.
"Are you heartless? You clearly know what Madam is afraid of, but you still want to take it over. Are you betting on Madam's heart?”Granny Wang didn't protect her at all and cursed loudly.
"It's so annoying to be in such a mess early in the morning. Drag this girl out and lock her in the woodshed. No one is to let her out without my order.”After Aunt Du finished speaking, she turned around and left.
During breakfast, Ji Xunyuan was in a good mood. Everyone laughed along, and the morning atmosphere eased up.
"Why don't I see Mei'e?”The Matriarch suddenly looked up and asked.
"This girl was careless and was taught a lesson by Granny Wang. Now that she was facing the wall in the woodshed to reflect on her mistakes, there was no need for the Matriarch to worry.”Aunt Du said with a smile.
"I think this girl is as meticulous as dust. She's a good material. I originally wanted to put her in Ji Xunyuan's room! I didn't expect to cause trouble today. It's my old eyes that can't see clearly.”The Matriarch mocked herself.
"What are you saying, Matriarch? It's not uncommon for a little servant girl to make mistakes. After a good lesson, he would learn his lesson. However…Ji Xunyuan's room also had many maids. This girl was clumsy and was not suitable to serve Ji Xunyuan.”Aunt Du's face sank, as if she understood the Matriarch's meaning.
"You've been married to Ji Xunyuan for so many years, and you only have one son. Why don't you let Ji Xunyuan marry someone and be on the same level as you? I'll be at ease if a few more people serve Ji Xunyuan.”The Matriarch's sudden mention of this matter stunned everyone at the round table.
Ji Chengjun never thought that his grandmother would be worried about his father's marriage. One Aunt Du was already enough to make Ji Chengjun anxious. If he were to marry another arrogant and domineering woman, the entire Duke of Song Residence would be in chaos.
Aunt Du's face immediately turned as red as a pig's liver. She hated this topic the most.
Ji Chengjun did not interrupt because she had already realized the old madam's intentions.
"Since the Matriarch already has a candidate, why don't you tell me?”Aunt Du still maintained the demeanor of a hostess and said with a smile.
"It's the Mei'e in your room." The Matriarch's words stunned Aunt Du completely.
Aunt Du had never expected that this girl would be favored by the Matriarch after entering the garden for less than two days and even wanted to fill in Ji Xunyuan's room.
The two of them didn't seem to have any interactions, and this girl didn't have the shrewdness to have any improper thoughts about Ji Xunyuan.
"Matriarch must be joking. Mei'e is just a girl, and a lowly country girl. How could the servant girl be compared to the master?”When Aunt Du said this, her vicious gaze fell on Haitang.
Haitang was unmoved. She only picked up a piece of bamboo shoot for the Matriarch and placed it in her bowl.
"This child is fated with our Duke Song Residence. I've already sent someone to investigate in private. This child's family background is considered clean, and his birth characters are considered compatible with Ji Xunyuan. Coincidentally, you chose me to serve you in the residence. This is all fate.”The Matriarch smiled slightly, making everyone very curious.
"Mother, I've only met Mei'e once.”Ji Xunyuan furrowed his brows tightly, feeling a little unwilling.
Ji Xunyuan originally liked Haitang, but he didn't manage to marry her. However, he didn't expect a beautiful girl to appear out of nowhere, making him confused.
"So what? You haven't met your first wife before, and you're not so loving? That girl is someone you saved many years ago. She came to our Duke Song Residence to be a servant girl in order to repay a debt of gratitude. I like people who know how to repay kindness.”The Matriarch laughed loudly and casually fabricated an identity for her.
