C137 (1/2)

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.
