Mrs. Mei's Survival Diary - Chapter 10.1

Chapter 10.1 – The House

Zhao Qian and Rong Yinshuang exchanged shocked glances as they watched one another. Zhao Qian then shot a sarcastic glance at the objects in her hand while mockingly grinning. “Hey, isn’t this the eldest madam of our Mei family? How could it be like those subordinates who showed up to receive customers regardless of face?”

Zhao Qian’s mouth was as poisonous as ever. Rong Yinshuang frowned coldly. Luo Che of the third room also held her head high as she glanced at Rong Yinshuang. Now she also considers Zhao Qian the new mistress of the Mei family.

“Oh, what did the second sister-in-law say? The eldest madam is picking up work. Our eldest madam has been so arrogant, so how could she wait for the guests to finish their business first.”Luo Che said mockingly. 

Rong Yinshuang’s face was expressionless, but she was trying her best to control her anger, and she wanted to pass them on as she didn’t hear or see them.

Both Zhao Qian and Luo Che thought they would have plenty of time in the future to mock Rong Yinshuang, so they didn’t do much entanglement.

Zhao Qian turned her head and glanced at Rong Yinshuang, then glanced at her basket again. Rolling her eyes, Zhao Qian walked behind the counter and asked in a low voice, “She came to you to take the goods back to embroider them.” 

There was a smile at the corner of Zhao Qian’s mouth, and no one knew what kind of trick she was playing.

 *******

Rong Yinshuang walked out of Silk Village, and when she passed Zhao Qian’s carriage, a white shadow flashed. She looked at that again and saw a white figure standing so straight next to the carriage.

Last time she just glanced at it and didn’t see it clearly, but this time she saw it really well: a miserable white face with seven holes was bleeding, and dark eyes stared at Zhao Qian, who was selecting gorgeous fabrics in the silk village without blinking.

Rong Yinshuang passed by the white figure and did not perceive it, which showed how deep the resentment in her heart was.

Rong Yinshuang beckoned Daer and Moer to walk faster, and the two children held hands and walked in front of Rong Yinshuang all the way.

After going to the market to buy some vegetables, Rong Yinshuang was ready to go back, and who knew that when she walked out of the vegetable market, she heard someone calling her behind?

“Eldest Madam, wait a minute.”

When Rong Yinshuang was in Mei Mansion, everyone called her that, and when she looked back, she saw an old woman in rough clothes with grey hair holding two large eggplants in her hands and trotting in her direction.

Looking at it, Rong Yinshuang also felt a little surprised. “Grandma Liu?”

This Grandma Liu was her late husband’s former milkmaid and had taken care of him when he was a small boy. Before Rong Yinshuang’s husband died, Grandma Liu had asked their permission to go to the countryside to farm. No matter how they tried to stop her, she insisted on going out of the house, so Xianggong had no choice. He gave her a sum of money, returned her slave deed, let her go out of the house, and settled down.

Grandma Liu came to Rong Yinshuang breathlessly, and Rong Yinshuang put the things on the ground and took two steps forward.

“Madam, as soon as I saw you, you left. I shouted twice, but you didn’t hear it.”

Rong Yinshuang smiled apologetically and said, “There are many people in the vegetable market; I didn’t pay attention. Grandma Liu, why are you here?”

Grandma Liu first glanced at Daer and Moer, and then put the two large eggplants in her hand into Rong Yinshuang’s vegetable basket and said, “I’m old and can’t do other work, so I have to grow vegetables and sell them to earn some money.” She then wiped tears from her eyes. “I also heard about the eldest young master; although I dare not climb high, the eldest young master is also what I watched grow up after all, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and I don’t feel good in my heart.”

Rong Yinshuang couldn’t help but feel miserable when she heard about Xianggong.

Grandma Liu said again, “There are few good people in the Mei family except for the eldest young master and you. Now that the eldest young master has just gone, they can’t wait to drive you and the little young masters out of the Mei mansion. Are they still people? The second young master and the second young madam were originally ruthless characters, and you and the eldest young master still treat them as relatives.”

Rong Yinshuang listened to her words and wanted to continue to ask who knew that a village woman suddenly came behind Grandma Liu and hurriedly shouted. “Ouch, Aunt Liu, why did you leave? Hurry up; there are two people waiting.”

As soon as Grandma Liu heard that there were customers waiting to buy vegetables, she said goodbye to Rong Yinshuang anxiously. “Madam, then I will go first; if you need something to do, go to Liuzi Lane in Beicheng to find me; count the third from the beginning.”

After speaking, without waiting for Rong Yinshuang to reply, she hurriedly followed the village woman and returned to the vegetable market.

Have a nice day!
