Chapter 1420 - 1427 Ci Yue Gang (3)
Xiang Yun was startled and exclaimed, "Mother really intends to marry them off to those two shopkeepers?"
Madam Wu sneered, "It’s not Mother who intends to marry them off to those two shopkeepers, but your father’s idea. Mother simply recounted the whole affair to your dad. Furious upon hearing it, he immediately ordered Mother to hasten this matter. Look, their bridal gifts are all prepared. Just wait until tomorrow morning after you get married, and they will be married off as well."
"But Aunt Xu doesn’t agree, does she?"
"Scoff, she disagrees? What is she? Just a lowly maid. Since when did the marriage affairs of young ladies become her business to meddle in?"
Madam Wu sneered, and through the window, she shouted, "Are you all dead? When has it become acceptable for servants to come into the mistress’s courtyard, crying and yelling? Get out!"
"Yes, Madam!"
Hearing this, the maids and old maids on duty in the courtyard immediately went forward. Some grasped at Hair, some slapped faces, and after shoving and dragging, they threw Aunt Xu out.
"She deserves it, that damn maid. Back in the days when she was favored, she never stopped backstabbing Madam. It serves her right to end up like this today!" Nanny Liu spat out of the window, appearing quite vengeful.
Madam Wu also sneered coldly. It was unclear whether she felt vindicated or something else, but with her daughter by her side, she refrained from elaborating to prevent stirring her daughter’s emotions.
Since Xiang Yun was going to worship Nanny Xie shortly, Madam Wu specifically instructed the housekeeper’s wife to go out and relay the message to the housekeeper, ordering him personally to accompany the household servants of the home along, to prevent any accidents. Furthermore, she instructed her daughter on the things to be mindful of during the worship, rambling on about a wide range of topics before finally letting her out.
At noon, Xiang Yun had some vegetarian food and changed into plain clothes, accompanied by Cui Wen and Cui Lu, to the Western Suburb where Nanny Xie’s grave was located, preparing to pay her respects.
