Chapter 1172: Forced Marriage (37)
“Mother Chen, do many of the servants here like Miss Shen? When I go out sometimes, those servants look at me strangely. I’m afraid that she’s unhappy with me because I moved in and forced her to leave.”
Mother Chen frowned and said, “Don’t worry about this first. They’ve all been bewitched.”
“Even if they were temporarily drugged, it proves that Miss Shen is so charming.”
“Pfft! What charm can such a ruthless woman have?”
Madam Chen couldn’t help but spit. She packed up the medical kit and said, “Wait here for a while. I’ll get you some clothes.”
During lunch, Yuan Sichun went downstairs to eat.
When the servants saw Yuan Sichun, their gazes turned strange.
Some of them even frowned and gave Yuan Sichun a nasty look.
After Mother Chen helped Yuan Sichun to the dining room, the servants gathered.
She flung the towel angrily.
“Then, does the clothes on the eldest daughter of the Yuan family belong to our eldest young mistress?”
“That’s right! I’ve seen Young Madam wear it a few times. That dress is the most frequently worn by Young Madam.”
“Then how did it end up on her?”
“She’s the eldest daughter of the Yuan family. Not only did she occupy the nest, she even wore Young Madam’s clothes. How shameless!”
“I’ve really broadened my horizons today. There’s really such a shameless person in this world.”
Yuan Sichun and Madam Chen could still vaguely hear their whispers. Madam Chen’s face turned livid.
“These servants are really despicable! Watch how I deal with them!”
As Madam Chen spoke, she released Yuan Sichun and went back.
“Hey, Mother Chen…”
Yuan Sichun allowed Mother Chen to let go of her arm. Although she sounded like she wanted to stop her, she didn’t.
“You little b*tches, Miss Sichun is our guest. Since she’s a guest, she’s the master of the house! If you continue to look at her and gossip behind her back, get lost immediately! The Bo family can’t tolerate arrogant servants like you!”
After Madam Chen finished speaking, the servants lowered their heads and gritted their teeth, not saying a word.
On the first day of Mother Chen’s transfer from Hong Kong, she had relied on the old man’s name to lord over the family. The moment she arrived, she had given Mother Zhang and the rest a warning.
The salary of the Bo family was very high. Even if they went out to find a proper job, it wouldn’t be half of the salary here. Hence, they didn’t dare to say anything about Mother Chen’s reprimand.
At this moment, Yuan Sichun walked up from behind. She grabbed Madam Chen’s arm and shook it gently.
“Madam Chen, don’t be like this. They didn’t do anything to me. Besides, they helped you take care of me a lot. Don’t scare them anymore. It’s not easy for them…”
Madam Chen pursed her lips and pondered for a while. Then, she glared at them and said, “Did you see that? Miss Sichun is so understanding of you. She’s the eldest daughter of an enemy. She should have received better care when she returned home! Now that she’s here to recuperate, she’s being ostracized by you people. I have to be considerate and intercede for you. Where’s your conscience?”
“What did that Shen person do for you to be so loyal to her? If you ask me, open your eyes and take a good look! Since you can accept that Shen person, you should accept Miss Sichun.”
The servants exchanged glances. They felt that she was right, but something was wrong.
At this moment, Aunt Zhang ran out when she heard the news. Seeing that Aunt Chen was reprimanding someone, she hurried forward and said,
“Mother Chen, Miss Yuan, Old Master is urging you to eat.”
Only then did Madam Chen glare at them before saying to Madam Zhang,
“Auntie Zhang, you were in charge of these people previously. You might not be convinced by me. Miss Yuan is the most important guest of our Bo residence. She might even be our future mistress. You have your own selfish motives. Don’t harm the servants beside you!”
“What future mistress of the family? Young Madam has long…”
“Feifei!”
One of the servants was disgusted by Aunt Chen’s traitorous behavior, but Aunt Zhang stopped her in time.
“Auntie Zhang!”
Aunt Zhang shook her head at the maid called Feifei. Feifei stomped her feet and lowered her head.
Seeing this, Aunt Chen suddenly snorted sarcastically. “Looks like Aunt Zhang is the most effective. She can make them behave without saying anything.”
Aunt Zhang turned to look at Aunt Chen and said, “Aunt Chen, this isn’t useful. Although they’re still young, they have their own thoughts. They’ve done all the work that needs to be done and served. We can’t restrict them too much, right?”
“Also, everyone has contributed to the family. I’m just more experienced than them. I’m older than them, so I’m considered an elder at most. If they make a mistake, I’ll teach them to change. If they don’t make a mistake, I’ll prevent them from making a mistake. To put it bluntly, I’m just a servant like them. Whether they’re obedient or not depends on how they weigh right and wrong.
I’ve said so much to you just now because I wanted to tell them that compared to the so-called Miss Shen, Miss Yuan is the one who is more worthy of respect and admiration. Don’t tempt them to choose who to respect, right? No matter who it is, their jobs won’t change, right?”
“What seduction…”
“Miss Yuan, Old Master is waiting for you to have lunch.”
Before Aunt Chen could finish her sentence, Aunt Zhang’s gaze landed on Yuan Sichun.
Yuan Sichun frowned and glanced at Mother Zhang before smiling lightly.
“Looks like Auntie Zhang is a sensible person. What she said makes sense.”
The expression on the driver’s face didn’t look too good. Did Yuan Sichun value Auntie Zhang?
“But Aunt Zhang, Aunt Chen was just helping me to vent my anger just now. In fact, she didn’t mean anything else. As for me standing on Miss Shen’s side, that doesn’t exist. I think Aunt Zhang has misunderstood.”
Aunt Zhang smiled calmly and said, “Perhaps. I spoke too harshly just now. I hope Aunt Chen won’t mind.”
In front of so many people and with Yuan Sichun paving the way for her, Madam Chen snorted and led Yuan Sichun to the dining room.
After watching them leave, the few of them gathered together.
