"Mother…you mean…" Ji Xunyuan vaguely remembered this.
"Seven years ago, Mei'e and her entire family fled here. She was taken by a tyrant and wanted to be his wife. But you happened to pass by and saved their entire family. He even gave them food to help them tide over their difficulties. Mei'e has always remembered your kindness, so she asked someone to enter the Duke of Song's Mansion as a servant. To repay the kindness of the past." The Matriarch finally lifted her veil and let everyone know about a past event.
"I see. If you ask me, when I saw Mei'e, I actually found her familiar. She's the child from back then." Ji Xunyuan pondered for a moment and accepted Mei'e's arrival.
Aunt Du clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could tear Mei'e into pieces.
This traitorous servant girl had actually approached Aunt Du with a motive and was so intelligent. It made the Matriarch recall a past event from many years ago. With such a detailed arrangement, Aunt Du was terrified.
" Matriarch, Mei'e is indeed a pretty girl, but…this girl still needs time to be trained. If she's to be Ji Xunyuan's concubine, I'm afraid…" Aunt Du tried her best to stop her.
"If you agree, nothing will be a problem. Let this girl come to my room. I'll take a good look at her and give you a satisfactory answer.”The Matriarch was not in a hurry either. She just wanted to shut everyone up.
"Since Mother likes it, I don't mind.”Ji Xunyuan had no intention of refusing.
Seven years ago, he did not save anyone. However, since the Matriarch had spent so much effort, she naturally had something to do. Although he did not understand, he still cooperated. A vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. The Matriarch would definitely not harm him.
Everyone dispersed.
Aunt Du stepped on the snow, but her foot slipped and she almost fell. She stared at Granny Wang with her blood-red eyes.
Granny Wang knelt down in front of Aunt Du with a thud.
"Furen, this old servant really doesn't know! If this old servant knew that Mei'e actually had such a plan, why would this old servant let a wolf into the house? I will definitely tear this girl into pieces.”Granny Wang said angrily.
"It's useless to say anything now. Mei'e has only been in the garden for two days, and she's already on equal footing with me. It's all your mother's fault!”Aunt Du swung her hand and gave Granny Wang a slap.
A loud bang caused traces of blood to seep out of the corner of Granny Wang's mouth.
"If Mei'e is on equal footing with me, I will beat you to death, you damned slave who deceived the master. Remember, you better find a way to make Mei'e stay away from Master. You know my methods.”Aunt Du ran away angrily.
Haitang smiled lightly and took in everything. It seemed that the people in Du YiNiang's room had already developed a grudge. If they added more fire, Mei'e would not be able to live.
The weather turned clear and the sky was dark.
Snow Song Garden.
The group of maids and old women in the manor were all busy. For Ji Xunyuan to marry a side wife, everyone was in high spirits.
This small courtyard had always been empty. This time, it was the best place to vacate it for Mei'e.
Aunt Du coldly watched the busy crowd.
Mei'e was still locked up in the woodshed and didn't know what was happening outside. It was only when Haitang, who was beside the Matriarch, came to pick her up that she suddenly realized.
The door creaked open. Mei'e looked up and saw a beautiful woman walking over.
This woman was dressed in an apricot yellow shirt and a white mink fur coat. She looked fresh and luxurious.
" You are..." Mei'e muttered to herself, her jaw tightening.
"Get up quickly. It's so cold. I'm afraid your body will be ruined if you sit here.”Haitang gently stretched out her hand and helped Mei'e up.
Mei'e was flattered and looked at Haitang timidly. She felt that the woman in front of her was really familiar.
Mei'e suddenly remembered the crabapple flower on Aunt Du's head. Her eyes tightened and she looked at Haitang without saying anything.
"You've suffered these days. The Matriarch ordered me to bring you back.”Haitang said softly.
Mei'e knew that she had committed a capital crime and made Aunt Du unhappy. She still wanted to continue serving in this garden. If she angered Aunt Du, her days would definitely not be good. Even if the servant girl beside the Matriarch came to pass on the message, Mei'e did not dare to act rashly.
" Sister Haitang, I…need Aunt Du's permission before I can…" Mei'e's aggrieved look made Haitang uncomfortable.
Mei'e was definitely not an ordinary person. This woman was very shrewd, and Aunt Du was not her match at all. In the future, the person Haitang needed to fear the most in the entire Duke Song Residence was this woman in front of her.
"Don't worry. Aunt Du has already agreed to let you see the Matriarch! If the Matriarch waited for too long, she would probably be unhappy.”Haitang grabbed Mei'e's hand again and said kindly.
Mei'e pondered in her heart. Haitang's amiable expression was different from what Aunt Du had described. That day, Haitang beat Aunt Du, but Mei'e had not yet entered the manor. Now, it seemed that Haitang was really a character. He had to be careful of this woman's hypocrisy.
"Then this servant will follow Young Lady.”Mei'e gently patted the soil on her body. Her legs were numb from the cold.
He staggered and almost fell.
Haitang came to his rescue in time, still smiling.
"Young Lady's bitter days are finally over. From now on, it will be Young Lady's world.”When Haitang said this, there was an elusive smile.
Mei'e was stunned, not knowing what was happening outside.
"This servant greets the Matriarch. Matriarch is auspicious.”When they finally arrived at the Matriarch's room, Mei'e sorted out her emotions and said weakly.
The Matriarch sized up Mei'e. The hot tea in her hand had yet to be touched when it was suddenly splashed on Mei'e's dress.
Mei-Er stood still and lowered her head without saying a word.
"She's a good girl with a calm mind. I like her very much. Haitang, go get Mei'e some thick clothes to change into, then we'll talk.”The Matriarch said with a smile.
Mei'e bowed again and retreated to the inner hall.
Mei'e didn't do anything when she was changing her clothes. A few servant girls quickly changed her into an expensive Cloud Net Shirt.
She only pursed her lips and did not speak, but she had already guessed 70 - 80% of it.
After washing up, Mei'e was once again supported by two servant girls.
She knelt in front of the Matriarch and said indifferently,""I don't know what this servant did wrong to make the Matriarch unhappy. Please tell me, Matriarch."
"Get up and talk. You've been locked up in the woodshed for a few days.”After the Matriarch finished speaking, she gently pulled Mei'e to her side.
Mei'e acted like a little wife and kept her head lowered, not daring to look directly into the Matriarch's eyes.
"She's a pretty girl. How did you and Xunyuan meet?”The Matriarch grabbed Mei'e's chin and asked with a smile.
