Chapter 187 Mind

Zhang was stunned.

They said they were having a meal together, but in fact they were divided into two tables.Chang Luoyun accompanied Jiang and Chang Luoxia to set a table in the west courtyard, while Mu Jingyi accompanied Chang Kuan and Chang Pu to have wine in the outer courtyard.

After the meal, Chang Luoyun sent Jiang and Chang Luoxia out. Chang Pu didn't see Zhang, but just thought that Chang Luoyun had left her with something to say, and felt somewhat comforted.

Although Yun'er spoke mercilessly, she still cared about him as her father in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have left Mr. Zhang alone in the room.

This thought appeared on his face unconsciously, and he said with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law will go back first. Yun'er must have something to tell my wife. I'll wait for her to come out and go back together."

Mrs. Jiang didn't know that Mrs. Zhang had also come to Zhuxi Lane, so she was a little confused for a moment.

Chang Luoyun pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Father, please come back quickly. Mrs. Zhang just said that she was unwell, and I have already sent her back."

Chang Pu was stunned, "I'm not feeling well. Wasn't she fine when she came?"

"Maybe it's because of the wind and cold." Chang Luoyun said, "I guess I'm home by now."

Chang Pu had an old face and was a bit worried. Seeing him like this, Chang Kuan said, "Since Mrs. Zhang is not feeling well, you'd better go home and take a look."

Chang Pu stretched out his sleeves and wiped his forehead, said nothing, and got into the carriage.

Mrs. Zhang was sitting in the room fuming at this time. What a big deal. She originally thought that no matter how bad it was, now that she had opened her mouth, it was always difficult for her to refuse as a girl, so she could give more or less. point.

Who would have known that she didn't say anything about it, but she just wiped it out.

Mrs. Zhang had never been so depressed before. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She placed the tea cup in front of her heavily on the table and took the person out to vent her anger, "Are all the people in this room dead? The tea is as cold as ice cubes. I don’t know if I’ll change it, but if I don’t like this place, I’ll sell it all together tomorrow.”

The girl who was waiting below was shocked. The tea had only been kept for a short time. Even though it was not hot, it was still warm. How come it turned into ice cubes.

He must have been offended somewhere, it's hard to explain clearly, so he took it out on them.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the master, but his taste in looking at people is getting worse and worse. Forget about the former Lady Pei, the current Lady Zhang is not even as good as Lady Pei. She is really cruel when she leaves, and she is even more cruel when she comes.

The girl complained in her heart, but she didn't dare to touch her face. She quickly stepped forward, picked up the tea cup, and turned around to change the hot tea.

Chang Pu happened to walk in. Thinking that Lord Mu Hou showed great respect to him at the dinner table, he had a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.

Although Mu Jingyi is his prospective son-in-law, this son-in-law is the famous Marquis of Changping.If he had known that Yun'er could really marry Marquis Changping, he should have been nicer to her since childhood.

"Bam—"

The girl panicked without raising her head, and bumped into Chang Pu who had just stepped across the threshold.

A cup of tea was poured on Chang Pu without a drop left. The teacup fell from his body and rolled all the way to Zhang's feet.

"Master..." The girl lying on the ground ignored her injured knee and quickly knelt down on the ground upright, her face pale and trembling with fear.

Madam Zhang became even more angry, took two hurried steps forward, and kicked the girl in the heart, "I said you are a blind person and have been in a panic all day long. Did a ghost bring you here?"

The girl didn't dare to talk back, she just held her heart in her hands and lowered her head to cry.

Chang Pu frowned and said, "No matter how big a deal it is, you can't do this."

He turned to the girl and said, "You can go down too."

The girl Rumeng Dahe hurriedly left the house.

Mrs. Zhang sat down on the chair and snorted coldly: "Master is becoming more and more charitable. Such servants who have no rules should be taught a lesson." Chang Pu looked at his dripping clothes and closed his eyes. , "Yun'er said you were feeling unwell. Are you feeling better now?"

"Master, do you think I'm feeling unwell? I feel uncomfortable." Mrs. Zhang held a handkerchief, put it against her chest, and said loudly: "Although I am the step-brother, at any rate I was married by three matchmakers and six betrothals." A decent lady, she doesn’t care about her seniority and her age, but she still insults me like this."

Master——" Mrs. Zhang suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into Chang Pu's arms, "She's bullying people like this, she's not giving me a way to live! "

Chang Pu wanted to push Mrs. Zhang out of her arms, but she held on to his clothes tightly, wiping her tears and nose on him, "Sir, have you ever seen any girl get married and move her mother's house to the water like this? It’s absolutely perfect, since she’s done it, why can’t I say anything?”

Chang Pu looked embarrassed, "Those are hers, and she should take them."

"Bah," Mrs. Zhang wiped her face and said to Chang Pu: "What you said is just to coax me. If it were another person, you wouldn't have to go to the Yamen.

"Forget the rest, let me ask you, you don't want Zhuangzi from Changjia anymore."

Chang Pu's eyelids twitched. He naturally wanted Zhuangzi in the countryside.

But Mr. Pei has already pawned the case, how can he get it back?

"She can't take those two Zhuangzi away. You are her father. Why don't you tell her to take care of them for her?" Mrs. Zhang has always been envious of the output of the two Zhuangzis. "Help her take care of them. Zhuangzi is still Her, what can she lose? She doesn't have to take advantage of outsiders like she does now.

The output of those two villages is enough for us to chew for a year. This family only relies on your salary and cannot drink the northwest wind. "

Chang Pu's heart moved.

Although the Zhang family is fierce, what they say is not unreasonable. Yun'er is now in Lindu, and Zhuangzi in the countryside is only guarded by a few servants.

If the Zhang family were in charge, Zhuangzi would still belong to Yun'er, but the output would be counted on the Chang family. This would kill two birds with one stone.

Mrs. Zhang saw that he had relaxed, and her expression softened a little, "Master only said that I was unreasonable, but I couldn't help it. Such a big family needs to eat and drink, and the little salary that Master got back is not enough." You took care of things outside.

Although my family is not rich, I was raised by a spoiled child. When did I go through these things?If my family were wealthy, I could still be gentle and virtuous, so why would I end up like this? "

Chang Pu saw that she was speaking sincerely and thought about it.

In the past, when Mrs. Pei was here, there were still some properties.But now the Chang family is just an empty shell. No wonder Zhang is dissatisfied.

Chang Pu sighed, "I also know that you are in trouble, but you are also quite strong-tempered.

Anyway, Yun'er is not unkind, it's just that I was a little neglectful towards her in the past, which made Ms. Pei hurt her heart.Now as long as she is coaxed, she will not care too much about Zhuangzi's affairs. "

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was secretly happy.

It's okay if Chang Si doesn't give her face, there's no way she won't even give her father's face.

If this is true, she will have a solid reputation for being unfilial, and her life in the Hou Mansion will probably not be easy from now on.

Who would protect a daughter-in-law who has a bad reputation for not being filial to her elders?

Zhang finally felt better when she thought of this.She put her hands around Chang Pu's neck and said with a sweet smile: "Master, you see your clothes are also wet. I will go find some clothes for you to change into."

Chang Pu suddenly trembled when he saw her like this.

"No, you're tired today too. Get some rest early." Before he could finish his words, he had already hurried out of the house.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Chang Pu's figure walking away in a panic, wrung her handkerchief vigorously, and snorted coldly.
