Chapter 150 The real chill is not the quarrel
Seeing Yuanzhen's expression, Linghua wanted to threaten him with her eyes, but Yuanzhen was not afraid at all because Zhao Huanxi was in charge.
Huanxi also noticed Linghua's little movement, her face darkened, and she waited for Yuanzhen's words.
"Madam, Linghua's daughter, Xiaodan, has a congenital heart disease. So at first, I understood how difficult it was for her to be a mother, and I felt sorry for Xiaodan's experience, so I took extra care of them. But Linghua went too far, not only instructing Xiaodan to bully Baoer, but also forbidding her to let Baoer play with the other girls at home.
The ladies were kindhearted and noticed Bao'er was in a bad mood and took the initiative to ask about it. After the eldest lady found out, she scolded Xiao Dan. Later... I overheard Xiao Dan scolding the ladies in the room.
"You're talking nonsense, that's not happening! You damn Yuanzhen, stop making up rumors about my Xiaodan!" Linghua couldn't help but curse, which scared Yuanzhen.
"Linghua, shut up! Chunliu and Xiahe tied her up for me, Yuanzhen, please continue." Huanxi's anger suddenly rose. She herself couldn't bear to beat or scold her three maids, so how could she allow others to make up stories about them?
"Mom, don't be angry, we are fine." Xiao Pan noticed that his mother was in a bad mood, so he quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
Xiao Yin looked at Xiao Dan with a bad face. The elder sister had only said a few words to her, so why was she still cursing behind her back? She was just like Mrs. Zhang in the village.
Xiao Nian was also unhappy. She walked over to Xiao Dan and said, "If you have anything to say to her face, my sisters and I might respect you, but you're not a gentleman when you talk about others behind their backs."
When the young Xiao Nian said this, Zhao Huanxi's anger gradually dissipated and turned into a burst of pride. Look, that's her daughter.
Xiaodan's face was full of shame. She was two years older than Xiaonian, and now she was being lectured by a four-year-old girl. She wanted to crawl into the ground.
"Yuanzhen, is there anything else? It wouldn't be unfair to her if we clear it all up at once." Zhao Huanxi said.
Yuan Zhen thought for a moment and continued, "Madam... Linghua is still trying to get close to Master Xu... I've seen it several times. She takes advantage of Master Xu being alone to talk to him..."
People really do laugh when they're speechless. Zhao Huanxi's eyes darkened when she heard this. She bought women because her family was full of women, and it would be difficult to keep an eye on the sudden arrival of a man from outside the family for fear of causing trouble.
I never thought a woman could have such thoughts. Is she unable to live without a man? I didn't lack food or clothing for her, and I agreed when the child said she was sick and didn't want to work... Now looking at it, it's really disheartening.
Linghua was tied up, but she was still able to speak. She defended herself, "Madam, please don't listen to her one-sided story. She is just jealous of my face in front of you, and she is also jealous that I said a few more words to Master Xu. Madam, I was wronged by them!"
Zhao Huanxi sighed. He shouldn't have let his compassion get to the point of bringing these two back. Some people are meant to be in the gutter, unworthy of sympathy.
Xiao Dan also knelt down and begged: "Madam, please be kind and forgive my mother this time. She didn't mean it. It's all because of me. If it weren't for my heart disease, my mother wouldn't have done this. Madam, please forgive my mother, I'm willing to do anything."
She knelt down and kowtowed, crying. Although she was young, it was obvious from a young age that she would be a great beauty when she grew up. Now she looked at Zhao Huanxi with tears and snot. Zhao Huanxi said nothing, but just sneered at the performance of the mother and son.
Her mother stole things from the master's house, but Huanxi didn't believe that she had no knowledge of it. She just held a lucky mentality and thought that no one would care or investigate. Or maybe she thought that it was all her mother's doing and had nothing to do with her.
"Chunliu, Xiahe, go search her room and take out anything that doesn't belong to them."
How could she not know Linghua's little tricks? Everything in the house was dug up by her in the mountains bit by bit. She would even know if a piece of grass was missing.
Hearing this, the mother and son began to panic in an instant.
After half a cup of tea, the two people who searched the house came out with a big bag of things. After asking Huanxi for permission, they spread the things on the ground and opened them one by one. Zhao Huanxi felt a pang in his heart after seeing them.
Besides the usual stolen herbs, there were also several brand new women's bellybands. My family had never bought such fabric before, and it was obvious that it was newly made. It was definitely not handmade at home.
It was given to her by someone else. Who gave it to her? She looked at Linghua, who was tied up, and said coldly, "Where did you get this bellyband?"
Linghua stuck out her neck and argued, "I did it myself."
Zhao Huanxi didn't want to talk nonsense with her. It's not that she doesn't allow you to fall in love. It's normal for people to have emotions. But she started giving her bellybands in just over a month. Who knows if she has told outsiders about what's going on at home.
When one of the small cloth bags was opened, it turned out to be several small pieces of silver. The moment Linghua saw the silver, she really started to panic. She hurriedly explained.
"Madam, I found the silver. I didn't steal it from you. Absolutely not. Please believe me for once."
It was a piece of shit. I guess I didn't clean out my clothes properly when I took them off, so this person took advantage of it. What a find! I was so poor back then that I didn't even pick up a single penny, but she has almost an ounce of silver scattered around.
Now I can’t keep these two people here. At first I wanted to chase them away, but now I think it’s better for them to go back to where they came from…
Zhao Huanxi sighed and said to everyone, "What did I say when you first came? Do you remember?"
"We all remember what the lady said."
"Linghua, Xiaodan, this is your own fault. I'll explain your mistakes clearly to you so you don't get accused of wronging you. First, you're dishonest. You stole herbs and destroyed my golden lotus, and now you're paying me an extra ounce of silver. Second, you didn't do your job well. Third, you're a bad person and don't know your place.
I won't punish you or scold you, but you should go back to where you should go. My Zhao family can't tolerate you and your son."
Linghua thought Huanxi would let her go home, but then she realized that this was going to sell her to a human trafficker. She suddenly lost her strength and fell to the ground, unable to recover for a long time.
Xiao Dan was also stunned for a moment when she heard this result, as if she was thinking about the meaning of Zhao Huanxi's words.
"Madam! I was wrong, madam! I will never dare to do it again. Madam, please forgive me. We are both mothers. Please have mercy on me. We are all doing this for our children! Please forgive me, I will do anything in the future, madam! I know I was wrong. Please don't drive me away!"
Linghua's heart-wrenching reaction did not soften Zhao Huanxi's heart. She just thought that this person was too noisy. She ordered Chunliu to cover her mouth, and instantly felt that the whole world was quiet.
