Chapter 246 - 236 Displeased Parting_2
The saying does indeed ring true, "You don’t get under someone’s roof if you’re not family." Zhao Lingxiang, though merely a concubine of Master Wei, had picked up his ways. She treated Zhao Erhu and his wife as if bestowing favors upon them, as if serving her food was some grand honor.
Lin Yue was quietly eating her meal when she heard this and was rendered speechless, nearly choking. She wondered if she somehow looked like a maid, as Zhao Lingxiang actually asked her to serve the food. It’s not like she didn’t have hands herself. But thinking about it, it was strange too—Zhao Lingxiang was Master Wei’s concubine, after all, yet she didn’t even have a single maid by her side, only a young lad in attendance with Master Wei. Wasn’t Master Wei supposed to be a wealthy merchant? This behavior didn’t resemble that of a rich man at all, even less than that of an ordinary landlord.
Lin Yue had only come here for a meal and didn’t want to get into a conflict, so she just continued her meal in silence, ignoring Zhao Lingxiang’s remarks.
"Sister-in-law, that braised pork looks delicious, why don’t you grab a piece for me?" Zhao Lingxiang said while pulling out a handkerchief to dab at the corners of her mouth, waiting for Lin Yue to serve her.
Lin Yue, head low, rolled her eyes in secret. Zhao Lingxiang must be out of her mind, not realizing she was being ignored. It seemed that if she didn’t say something, Zhao Lingxiang would take her silence for consent. "Little sister, you must be mistaken. I am your sister-in-law, not your maid. It’s your maid’s job to serve you food, isn’t it? But little sister, where has your maid gone off to? Why is she not here to serve you while you eat? That’s really quite improper."
"Yeah! Little sister, where is your maid? I haven’t seen her at all. You’re the wife of a man from Wei Residence, a family of such wealth, so how could it be possible for you not to have a single maid by your side? That must be a joke."
Li Xiaomei loved to stir up trouble. She had never got along with the Wei Family, and now with Wei’s daughter behaving this way, she had long grown tired of it. Suddenly finding something that could embarrass Zhao Lingxiang, she immediately started to make a fuss. Lin Yue, seeing Li Xiaomei react this way, secretly snickered, finding her quite entertaining for the first time.
