Aunt Lin was stunned for a moment before she quickly came back to her senses. She still had a smile on her face. âIâm old and itâs very difficult to change my habits. Please forgive me.â
Qiao Xi sneered. âYou want me, the master, to accommodate you? Your salary is paid by the Gu family, so you should follow the Gu familyâs rules. If youâre unwilling to call me âYoung Madamâ, then youâre disrespecting your master. In that case, thereâs no need for you to stay in the Gu family anymore. Go look for the butler for your final salary now!â
Aunt Lin instantly panicked. She did not expect Qiao Xi to be so eloquent at such a young age!
!!
âOld Madam, Miss Qiao and Young Master arenât married yetâŚâ
âItâs enough for the law to acknowledge them as husband and wife. Everyone in the Gu family knows that sheâs Gu Zhengâs wife, but you have to go against it. Just what do you want?â Old Madam Gu reprimanded sternly.
Aunt Lin was embarrassed. After serving Old Master Gu for so many years, the Gu familyâs servants all looked at her differently. Even Gu Weiming had to show her some respect. Now, Old Madam Lin was berating her for Qiao Xi. It really made her unwilling.
Aunt Lin looked at Qiao Xi angrily. âI just called you by the wrong name, yet you want to chase me away. If news of this gets out, what will everyone say about you?â
Qiao Xi chuckled. âWhat reason do I need to fire you? Which noble family wouldnât fire a few servants?â
Aunt Lin was so angry that her face turned red. A young madam in name actually dared to speak to her like this!
Before she could retort, footsteps came from outside the door. He Wenxianâs gentle voice sounded. âGrandma Gu, Iâm here to see you!â
âAh! Aunt Lin is here too!â He greeted Aunt Lin with a smile.
A few years ago, He Weinian was Gu Zhengâs master. He Wenxian also often came to the Gu family as a guest. At that time, Old Madam Gu thought that He Weinian really treated Gu Zheng well, so she welcomed He Wenxian every time she came.
It was just that Old Madam Gu did not expect He Weinian to not only scheme against Gu Zheng but also have so many secrets regarding the He family.
He Wenxian said gently, âGrandma Gu, I havenât been here in a long time. Do you still remember me? Aunt Lin, quickly sit down. Letâs talk.â
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Lin said aggrievedly, âMiss He, Iâd better not sit. Iâm just a servant, after all. I donât have the right.â
He Wenxian was a little puzzled. âWhat do you mean? Did someone bully you?â Aunt Lin subconsciously looked at Qiao Xi. She had been by the old masterâs side for so many years and knew that the old master had chosen three candidates to be his granddaughter-in-law-Meng Wan, Yao Mengqing, and He Wenxian. Hence, every time these three people came to the Gu family, she would try her best to curry favor with them, hoping that they would give her some benefits when they came to power in the future. However, she never expected that Qiao Xi would suddenly appear and snatch away the position of the young madam.
Young Master clearly had a fiancee, yet Qiao Xi still seduced him and got married to him. She was a mistress who ruined his marriage!
Seeing that Aunt Lin did not answer for a long time, He Wenxian was a little puzzled. âAunt Lin, youâve been conscientious in the Gu family for so many years. Who can make things difficult for you? Whoâs so bold?â
Old Madam Gu was smart and naturally could tell that He Wenxian and Aunt Lin were making things difficult for Qiao Xi. She directly berated, âI was the one who made things difficult for her. Miss He, do you have an opinion on this? Aunt Lin is a servant of the Gu family. Whatâs wrong with me reprimanding her? If you really feel aggrieved, Aunt Lin, go to the butler to get your final salary and leave the Gu family. Donât act in front of me. Do you really think Iâm a fool?â
The atmosphere instantly became awkward. He Wenxianâs expression was ugly, and her voice trembled slightly. âGrandma Gu, youâve misunderstood⌠I was just worriedâŚâ
âMiss He, please call me âOld Madam Guâ. Only Ah Zheng and Ah Yaoâs wives have the right to call me âGrandmaâ.â Old Madam Gu already hated He Wenxian, so she was even angrier when she saw her acting in front of her.
Aunt Lin did not expect Old Madam Gu to be so disrespectful to Miss He. She widened her eyes in shock.
He Wenxianâs face was pale as she panicked. âOld Madam Gu, I just think that because Aunt Lin has been working hard for the Gu family for decades, even if she did something wrong, she shouldnât be reprimandedâŚâ
Before Old Madam Gu could speak, Qiao Xi said slowly, âIf sheâs taking the Gu familyâs salary, she should know that sheâs just a servant and shouldnât interfere in the marriage of the head of the Gu family. If Gu Zheng wants to marry me, does he have to get Aunt Linâs permission? If she doesnât agree, will I never be able to become the young madam of the Gu family?
âMiss He, your heart aches for Aunt Lin so much. Could it be that this is what the He familyâs rules are like? Would Young Master He have to ask Chairman Heâs servants if he wants to marry in the future? If the servants donât agree, he canât marry them?â
He Wenxian instantly choked..
