Chapter 27: The hidden meaning in words
Watching the people from the Marquis' Mansion leave, the Hua family was still immersed in the sadness and reluctance of Hua Wuniang's departure, but Mrs. Zhong spoke up.
"Brother Bin, if you were unwilling to let Wu Niang go to the Marquis's Mansion as a concubine, you should have told us earlier. Would we force you to do it?"
"Your Ninth Lady is really capable. Even my husband and I dare not neglect the steward and the maid of the Marquis's Mansion. But she came out and talked nonsense, directly offending Steward Kong and Maid Shen."
"Just wait and see. Ninth Lady made such a scene today. She will be fine, but Fifth Lady, who entered the Marquis' Mansion, will suffer."
Hearing this, everyone in the fourth room became anxious. Old Man Hua and Old Lady Hua also frowned. Yao was about to say a few words to defend her daughter, but Hua Changxi spoke first.
"Auntie, in your eyes, are we all fools?"
"Why did my fifth sister become a concubine in the Marquis' Mansion? You should know better than us."
"If you have done something like matchmaking to make secret profits, you must admit it. Don't act innocent after doing it, as if we are begging you to do it."
"Not everyone would do such a stupid thing as helping others count money after being sold. At least my family wouldn't do that."
"As for why you dare not offend the housekeeper and the maid of the Marquis' Mansion, it is because you have something to ask of the Marquis' Mansion, and I don't have anything."
"I only have one idea. I can't let the Marquis' Mansion look down on my fifth sister. I want to let the Marquis' Mansion know that my fifth sister also has her family to rely on."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression of the fourth roommate, who originally had some resentment towards Hua Changxi, became stiff.
At this point, Hua Changxi suddenly turned his gaze to Hua Tai, who was standing silently on the side: "Uncle, the people in the Marquis' Mansion neglected my Hua family and my fifth sister. You should have seen it."
"My fifth sister is a concubine who was officially accepted by the Marquis' Mansion. She is not a slave who cannot fight back or talk back. Even though there is a big gap between our family and the Marquis' Mansion, it does not mean that we have to be servile and fawning to the two servants of the Marquis' Mansion, right?"
Hua Tai looked at Hua Changxi with interest.
He fawned and flattered the two servants in the mansion.
Is this a satire on him and the Zhong family for being spineless and weak-willed?
"Hahaha~"
Hua Tai laughed a few times: "You are Jiu Niang, no wonder my mother couldn't forget you after seeing you once."
As he said this, he turned around and smiled at Grandpa Hua and the others.
"There are not many young ladies that my mother can remember. After seeing you today, I found that your Ninth Lady is indeed different and really left a deep impression on me."
Old Master Hua forced a smile. Of course he understood the subtle meaning behind the words of Hua Tai and his ninth granddaughter, but he didn't know what to say.
No matter what, the ninth granddaughter is standing up for the Hua family.
Hua Changxi also laughed and said, "The last time I went to the old house of a great family, I will never forget it. If it weren't for that trip, I might not have been able to enter the Medical Department."
Hua Tai acted like an elder: "Jiu Niang, you are a young lady, and you should stay at home. You are just making your grandparents and your father and mother worry about you by working as a handyman in the Medical Department."
After saying that, Hua Tai looked at Yao and said, "Minghe's wife, I am very optimistic about your Jiu Niang. You should teach her well. I will definitely let my mother find a good marriage for her in the future."
Hearing this, Hua Changxi laughed out loud, then stopped smiling and looked at Hua Tai calmly: "Uncle, I suddenly thought of a story."
Hua Tai was very considerate and acted curious: "What's the story?"
Hua Changxi: "The story of raising pigs. The pigs are kept in a pigsty, and they are fat and white. We just wait for them to grow up so that we can sell them and slaughter them."
Hua Tai's smile remained unchanged: "Pigs, when they grow up, they should be sold. Otherwise, why raise pigs?"
The clan members are the clan's resources. It has been like this since ancient times. If you want to resist,
Hua Changxi: "Hua Taibo must have never heard the saying, 'One pig, two bears, three tigers'. Sometimes when you meet a pig, even a ferocious tiger or bear will have to avoid it."
Hua Tai continued with a smile: "Really? I am ignorant. I have never heard of this."
He seemed to not take the threat in Hua Changxi's words seriously at all, as if it was just a joke.
Hua Changxi looked back at him without blinking: "Uncle Hua Tai, you heard it today, and you will definitely see it in the future." Hua Tai looked at Hua Changxi, and the indifferent smile on his face finally faded a little.
When Mrs. Zhong saw that Hua Changxi actually threatened their family, she was very dissatisfied. She knew that Hua Changxi was good at talking, so she directed her anger at Mr. Hua and Mrs. Hua.
"Are you the ones in charge of this family, or is Jiu Niang the one in charge? Are you just going to let a young lady talk nonsense in front of the guests and elders?"
When Mr. Hua saw that Hua Tai's face had changed, he knew that he could not continue to let his ninth granddaughter do whatever she wanted, so he immediately said to Yao: "Take Ninth Lady back to the house and have a rest."
Hua Changxi did not resist this time. She said everything she needed to say and let Yao pull her into the Hua family's yard.
Even though his granddaughter had torn off the fig leaf, Grandpa Hua still smiled at Hua Tai and his wife and said, "Jiu Niang is used to being wild. Brother Tai and sister-in-law, don't take what she said to heart."
Zhong snorted and wanted to complain, but was stopped by Hua Tai: "What are you talking about? I like Jiu Niang's personality very much. It's just a pity."
"If she were a boy, my Hua family would have another talented person."
Hua Tai looked at Hua Shiyilang and said, "There are also several boys in my family who are going to enter the martial arts academy. Shiyilang will go with them when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude.
Hua Tai smiled. This is the attitude that the tribesmen should have towards them. That Hua Jiuniang
"Okay, Wu Niang has been taken away, and your sister-in-law and I will go back. If you have anything, just come to my house and find me. I will definitely do it for you if I can."
"Brother Tai and sister-in-law, take care!"
The Hua family watched as Hua Tai and his wife's carriage left.
In the carriage, Mrs. Zhong was getting angrier and angrier as she thought about it: "That Hua Jiuniang is unruly and doesn't take you and me seriously. Hua Bin's family didn't stop them at all and have no sense of propriety at all. They deserve to be degraded as time goes by."
Hua Tai's expression turned cold at this time: "Fortunately, she is just a little girl."
Zhong was stunned: "Why, you still think highly of her?"
Hua Tai looked at his wife and said, "If she was really a man, she would not be doing nothing, considering her courage to confront me and Manager Kong head-on."
Zhong sneered: "Hua Minghe is really brave, isn't he still just a small constable now?"
When this was mentioned, Hua Tai's expression turned serious. "What is the origin of Yao's family? She is already married, and there are nobles who come forward to suppress her husband's family?"
Mrs. Zhong showed curiosity: "Have you found out which noble is suppressing Hua Minghe?"
Hua Tai shook his head: "I don't know."
Zhong glared: "You haven't even found out anything about the Bo's Mansion?"
Hua Tai said 'hmm'.
Mrs. Zhong's expression also turned serious: "If even the Bo's Mansion couldn't find out about this person, how deep must his background be?"
Hua Tai sighed: "Now you know why Dad and Mom repeatedly told you and me not to be too harsh on Hua Bin's family, right?"
Mrs. Zhong was a little unconvinced: "Even if Yao's family is powerful, that is a thing of the past. She has been married to the Hua family for more than 20 years. In these 20 years, if there were anyone in her family, they would not ignore her."
"I think there's no one left in Yao's family."
"You don't know that Hua Bin's wife is not very kind to her eldest daughter-in-law. Over the years, Yao Shi has suffered the most out of the three daughters-in-law."
"why is that?"
"It's because she has no family to rely on, and she herself has no confidence."
Although Hua Tai felt that his wife's words made sense, he always liked to keep a hand in things, so he was prepared to listen to his parents. He would not go too far with Hua Bin's family, but he would not help them too much either. He would just continue to keep a distance from them.
