"You little girl, you've always been a freak of nature. Who would dare to cause trouble in our Duke of Song Residence in the future? Hahaha! Ji Xunyuan has a girl like you, you're more useful than ten sons.”The Matriarch smiled happily.
Haitang's voice cut in, reporting in a low voice,""Matriarch, Aunt Du and Aunt Mei'e's men are fighting in the kitchen. Because Old Master is in Aunt Mei'e's room and Aunt Du is taking an afternoon nap, I brought a few people over to see how Matriarch will decide.”
"What happened? Bring him in." The Matriarch put down the chopsticks in her hand, her expression dark.
As they spoke, a few servant maids and old women surrounded them from behind. Qiao Ling and Granny Wang followed them into the room.
The Matriarch looked at everyone's expressions and could not help but gasp.
Qiao Ling had always been a smart and cautious girl, but her little face had been scratched to such a state. Granny Wang, who was standing at the side, also looked like she had been beaten up. She looked very miserable, and even her clothes had been scratched.
How did a kitchen turn into an arena?
"What are you guys doing? The servants of our Duke of Song Residence are all young ladies who have been trained. Is it appropriate for them to go out like this?”The Matriarch shouted loudly, scaring Granny Wang and Qiao Ling into kneeling on the ground.
"Tell me, what happened? They were fine just now, but after entering the kitchen, the two of them became like this?”The Matriarch was so angry that she felt that their actions were a disgrace to the Song Public House.
"Matriarch, this servant just went to the kitchen to bring you some white fungus lotus seed soup and found a group of people fighting. I took a closer look and saw that it was actually Qiao Ling who was being beaten up by Granny Wang. Everyone came over to stop the fight, but they were beaten up by Granny Wang. I went over to stop them. However, the two of them insisted on their own words and quarreled. I'm just a little girl. I can't decide whether this is right or wrong. He brought the two of them to the Matriarch, hoping that the Matriarch would understand.”Haitang finally spoke. What she said was the truth.
"Miss Haitang, you sound like this old servant is bullying someone. Qiao Ling, this little hussy, is really disrespectful. She's bossing me around because she's favored by her master. Otherwise, I have never seen a little girl in the Duke Song Residence dare to speak to me like this!”Granny Wang had not yet understood the situation and thought that she had Aunt Du's support.
Now, in front of the Matriarch, she was still on the side of reason and not her relatives. Granny Wang's tone made the Matriarch have an idea.
"How dare you, Granny Wang. You still dare to speak in such a tone in front of the Matriarch. I think you've been spoiled by your master. Men, bestow the rouge!" Ji Chengjun flew into a rage and looked at Granny Wang.
The Matriarch did not stop her. A few fierce old women pressed Granny Wang to the ground and gave her a good beating.
"Alright! I don't want to see blood shed. Granny Wang, you're Aunt Du's maiden nanny, so you already know Aunt Du's temperament." That day, I said that Mei'e married into the family and that I must get along well with her. How can you convince others with such an attitude? Today's beating is for your sharp mouth. If you dare to be arrogant again, I'll chase you out!”The Matriarch said with her eyes wide open.
Granny Wang pursed her lips, but she felt a piercing pain. She could only kowtow and bow, unable to say a word.
"Why did you end up like this?”Ji Chengjun asked unhurriedly after teaching Granny Wang a lesson.
"Reporting to Eldest Young Miss, Old Master is having a meal in our YiNiang Mei'e's room. Old Master left some high-grade South Sea flower glue that the court had just paid tribute to YiNiang Mei'e and instructed this servant to immediately boil it and send it over. A few maids in the kitchen saw that this servant was anxious, so they gave this servant a small meal. After all, it was Old Master who was waiting. No one could bear the responsibility of delaying Old Master's things. Therefore, the old woman took Aunt Du's stewed black chicken with dangshen and put it aside. "This servant thought about it and waited for this servant's flower gum to be stewed before putting Aunt Du's things on it. Who knew that Granny Wang would come in and beat her up. She even said that our Aunt Mei'e would call her aunt when she saw her…" Qiao Ling was a very powerful girl. She cleaned herself up with just a few words.
"Is there such a thing?" Ji Chengjun scanned the crowd, hoping to get an accurate answer.
"Reporting to Young Miss, what Miss Qiao Ling said is true. The maids in the kitchen are all old people in the Duke of Song Mansion, so they know the rules. No matter who it is, we won't take it to heart if it's just a furnace. However, if it's food that Old Master is in a hurry to eat, we will definitely have to put down all the work in our hands and help that person bring food to Old Master. This is an old rule of the Duke of Song Residence. We don't dare to overstep our boundaries.”The old woman took Qiao Ling's things, so she naturally had to speak up for her.
"Matriarch, this old servant is really wronged! Our madam's stewed black chicken with dangshen wasn't even cooked yet, and it was taken down by this little hoof in front of her. I couldn't take it anymore, so I hit him. How could I tolerate her disrespect? Moreover, Qiao Ling even cursed our Aunt Du. As a slave, I naturally have to protect my master.”Granny Wang couldn't defend herself, but it was wrong of her to hit him first.
"Granny Wang, you're so strange. You clearly can't stand the fact that our Mei'e's concubine is favored, so you're making things difficult for her. I wanted to swallow my anger, but you were rude and even insulted my aunt Mei'e. I'm a slave, so it's only right for me to suffer outside. But our YiNiang Mei'e has just married into the Duke of Song's Mansion, and you've bullied her like this. What will happen in the future?”As Qiao Ling spoke, she started to sob.
The Matriarch knew that Qiao Ling had served in the manor for many years and had never taken the initiative to provoke her. Granny Wang had always been a tyrant, so it was possible for her to hurt someone now. Even the servant maids in the kitchen had been taught a lesson by her. Even if the Matriarch wanted to speak in favor of Aunt Du, it was impossible to appease the people in Aunt Du's room.
At this moment, Aunt Du had just woken up from her afternoon nap and saw a servant girl standing at the side with her head lowered, not daring to speak. Granny Wang was nowhere to be found. The atmosphere in the room was unusually tense.
"What happened? Where did Granny Wang go?" Aunt Du asked curiously.
A few servant girls helped Aunt Du dress up and change her clothes. The servant girl who had been watching the battle at the scene just now told the truth,"Miss Qiao Ling in Mei'e's room took our stewed black chicken with dangshen and put their best flower gum on it openly, saying that Master was waiting to eat it. Granny Wang was so angry that she quarreled with Qiao Ling. The more they quarreled, the fiercer they became. They actually started fighting. He was currently lecturing the Matriarch in her room!”
