Dangerous Marriage - C137
With a cold expression, Xu Jiaren opened the door and asked indifferently: “What is Mother looking for me for?”
“Young Madam, you should go down and take a look.”
Xu Jiaren followed them down, and they sat in the great hall. Beside Lu Niyun, there was another person who served her. Xu Yanmei gave all kinds of things to Lu Niyun in the name of being pregnant.
Xu Jiaren didn’t care about any of this. Any one of her servants had nothing to do with her.
What did Xu Yanmei want her to do?
Could it be that she wanted to show off to Lu Niyun for having a servant, but she, Xu Jiaren, didn’t have a servant?
“Mother, what did you call me here for?” After calling out her mother, Xu Jiaren felt that she had become hypocritical. To see someone spouting nonsense like that, what the hell was that supposed to mean?
Even the servants in the house knew of the two factions. Even though they knew that they were competing, they still acted in harmony.
He didn’t know that this sort of harmony was a type of joke in the eyes of others.
Xu Yanmei put down the melon seeds in his hands, and after gently patting his hands, she looked at Xu Jiaren with her eyes: “Xu Jiaren, you have been at our Leng Family for a while now, right?”
Xu Jiaren blinked, feeling that she could not follow Xu Yanmei’s words. “I came for a period of time, but it wasn’t long.”
Lu Niyun curled her lips, and laughed without waiting for Xu Yanmei to speak: “Sister-in-law, why don’t you sit down and talk; “How about it, you are also my big brother’s woman.”
“It’s fine, I’ll just stand there.” Sitting with this group of people is like sitting on pins and needles. “Mother, is there something wrong? “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going upstairs.”
Xu Yanmei cleared her throat, a trace of light flashed across her charming face: “You came to my house to be my wife, right? As for me, I’m not asking for anything. Now that Niyun is pregnant, in the future, I will leave some of the household chores to you. ”
“Mother, isn’t there a servant?”
“What the servant has to do, what you have to do, is to do your duty as a wife. You better not be dissatisfied with this matter. That’s how I came here when I was married to Sister Leng. ”
If it was in the past, Xu Jiaren would definitely compromise and do these things. But now, it was different. Coming to the Leng Family, she had comprehended many principles. This was one of the most profound truths: One was deceived by others, and one was ridden by others.
These things could be left for the servants to do, the monthly expenses for Leng Family included the one for the servant. Raising a servant yet not doing anything, letting her, the Young Madam, do things? What a beautiful idea.
Even if she had to do something, could he give her this salary?
“Xu Jiaren.”
Lu Niyun said impatiently, Xu Jiaren laughed dryly, with a gentle look of determination: “Mother, I am the Young Madam, and my husband is the future heir to this family, why should I do all this?”
The word “successor” stimulated Xu Yanmei to the core.
She gave a cold snort and widened her round eyes, “What you said is not wrong. This is indeed the situation. But! You’re my wife, right? Was it wrong for me to teach you filial piety? When you first came to our house, I asked you to do it, but you only did it for a short period of time. Now that Niyun is pregnant, I will send a servant to take care of her.
Xu Jiaren did not show any weakness, “Surprised, mother, what is this Niyun carrying? So expensive? My future Mrs. Leng is not even this valuable. ”
It hit the nail on the head, causing Lu Niyun to stand up immediately. She couldn’t spit out the anger in her mouth. Xu Yanmei pulled Lu Niyun, her eyes signalling her not to get so angry so easily.
“Be careful, you’re still pregnant.” As the warning sound came out, Lu Niyun immediately quietened down.
“Mom, this woman has the ability to speak and has the courage to speak.” Lu Niyun muttered, “Truly annoying.”
“Be patient.”
Xu Yanmei gave a shallow smile and changed her appearance, “Xu Jiaren, this is the first time in our Leng Family, so of course we have to protect it. You’re not a mother, so you don’t know how to protect your children. The people in your family are used to rough work. Even if you have a baby, you can still work on your own. However, Niyun is already used to it. Forget about working, even if she was sitting, I would be worried that something would happen to her. ”
Xu Jiaren laughed, “Yes, yes.”
“What does Niyun getting pregnant have to do with me? How is she? It has nothing to do with me, right? It’s not like I had a baby. ”
This dead pig did not seem to be afraid of being burned, causing Xu Yanmei to be helpless.
Even if Xu Jiaren did not want to work, it would be useless if she said that out loud. She no longer thought of what she looked like when she first came to Leng Family.
“Mother, if you insist on doing so, please forgive me for not accompanying you.”
“Your wing stone is even more powerful now. You can rely on it now, but it is no longer the same as before.” “I remember that you used to live with our eyes in your eyes, like a stray dog.”
“Hur hur.” Xu Jiaren laughed disdainfully, “Yes, these thirty years are like the past. It’s not like it’s the present, it’s not a big deal.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going. If you have the skill, then do your job well and serve your wife. As for me, I don’t have the skill. ”
With that, without waiting for Xu Yanmei to rush over, Xu Jiaren left. After Xu Jiaren ran upstairs, she patted her moon-shaped mouth lightly, “I really have a lot of guts. That mother-in-law pair’s eyes are about to pop out, but I still managed to hold on. It’s really not easy. ”
Now that he had regained his senses, he was truly afraid. When Xu Yanmei and Lu Niyun were in front of him, he said those words himself.
But luckily, he said that they didn’t do anything bad to him on the spot. Which meant that the actions of those who dared to resist were not that scary.
Being always humiliated by Xu Yanmei and her words, now that she had counterattacked, she really shouldn’t feel too good about it. She had been a Young Madam for such a long time with regards to Leng Family, it was impossible to say if she had or did not have connections in terms of connections.
Xu Yanmei deliberately brought Lu Niyun out to greet those people who were either rich or noble, but she never brought her out. At the moment, it was said in good name that she was being asked to do housework for her own good.
It was funny, Xu Yanmei could think of such a crappy reason.
On the second day after Xu Jiaren rejected him, Uncle Leng Jun suddenly called.
Xu Jiaren looked at the caller and laughed, thinking that the Uncle Leng Jun had disappeared for a period of time, why did she call him?
Hmm, he shouldn’t be here to borrow money.
“Hello.”
“Sister-in-law, it’s not good.”
“What’s wrong? You were captured by your father again? ”
“No, it’s your fault.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? “Your sister-in-law is standing right here. It’s been a long time since I last called, so why don’t you clean up the mess for me?”
“No, sister-in-law, please let me finish.”
Xu Jiaren was silent.
“Have you offended my aunt? Sister-in-law, wherever aunt goes now, she’s always talking bad about you. My mother, after hearing your aunt say something bad about you, was very angry. I feel that this Brother Leng Lie has married a bad wife and straightforwardly asked this Brother Leng Lie to dissolve the marriage relationship with you. ”
“That good?” When Xu Jiaren heard that the marriage was over, her eyes lit up.
Uncle Leng Jun was stunned: “Sister-in-law, did your head get hit?”
Xu Jiaren facepalmed and changed her words immediately: “Ah? Did you just say your mother told your brother to divorce me? Aunt should not be like this. ”
Uncle Leng Jun patted his chest: “Oh my god, sister-in-law, your reaction just now was too abnormal, it scared me silly.”
“Is it normal now?”
“Yes, yes.”
“That’s good.”
Hearing this, Uncle Leng Jun felt that something was wrong. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
“Sister-in-law, do you have nothing else to say?”
“Do I need to say anything else?”
“Auntie slandered you to such an extent, yet you didn’t even retaliate?”
“How do I counterattack? Chop your aunt up and feed her to the dogs? Or do you want to point a stick at her eyes and hit them until they explode? ”
“Sister-in-law, it’s so bloody.” Uncle Leng Jun continued, “Sister-in-law, my retaliation isn’t so bloody. Tsk tsk, you’re a girl, why are you saying words that make people feel cold?”
Xu Jiaren chuckled: “What good idea do you have?”
Uncle Leng Jun’s eyes lit up, “Of course.”
“Everyone says that rumors stop with the wise, but not everyone is so smart. Auntie’s good to say that you are wrong, a lot of people must have been duped. Sister-in-law, don’t underestimate the noble ladies circle. If your reputation completely stinks, you won’t be able to pull it back no matter how hard you try. ”
“In the future, you will have to follow the Brother Leng Lie to attend some events or banquets. Even if it is not for your own sake, for Leng Lie’s sake. ”
Xu Jiaren clicked her tongue in wonder, this Wealthy noble ladies was indeed not ordinary. They were all women behind a successful man. It was impossible for them to not have a few tricks up their sleeves.
He had initially wanted to ignore this matter. After all, in a few months, she would have to leave this so-called Wealthy Class seat. It didn’t matter if the noble ladies were slandering her or insulting her. They wouldn’t be able to hear or see anything. How good is it to live without pain?
However, just now, when she said that this would affect Leng Lie, she actually had the slight urge to fight him.
“Uncle Jun, sister-in-law will tell you something.”
“Sister-in-law, do you want me to help you?”
“You’re really smart.”
“How?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll think about it.” Since he was really going to fight with Xu Yanmei, then he had to be prepared. A snake would hit seven inches, and a man would be killed in one blow.
She was so tired of living that she actually slandered and slandered her.
The most troublesome thing was that Xu Yanmei often did some public service activities, whether it was out of sincerity or pretense, but in the end, she had done it. Her reputation in the outside world was well managed. Not only was it Leng Lie and Leng Yuan’s mother, it was also a public utility.
With these two powerful identities, even if he were to make a move, he was not confident that he could make those people believe him.
Scratching her head, Xu Jiaren did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Until Leng Lie returned, Xu Jiaren was still in a half-dead state.
He rubbed Xu Jiaren who was lying on the bed, but Leng Lie actually found it interesting. The woman who was usually lively like a dragon and lively like a tiger, how did she die today?
