Chapter 12 Loyalty
Dai's mother knocked on Xue Mei's door, her movements were gentle and slow.
"What's the matter?" Xue Mei asked in the room.
"Miss, the monthly money has been released." Dai's mother replied softly, with a little caution.
Xue Mei opened the door.
Dai's mother took the remaining silver back and gave it to Xue Mei.
Xue Mei scanned casually and found that Dai's mother had only received five taels of monthly money, and she asked her to take back the last supplementary money and get the reward money. She didn't move.
She just released the maids and the mothers' monthly money and rewards.
"Mom, you took twenty taels less." Xue Mei said.
Dai's mother put the tray on the table in her room: "Miss, we finally have money and have to save money. The old slave is your wet nurse and will depend on you for life. What do you want to do with your own private money?"
Dai's mother went to the house to be a wet nurse, so she should have a child about the same age as Xue Mei.
It’s just that her own child has not had breast milk since she was a child and was in poor health. In addition, the medical treatment in this era was extremely poor, so her daughter died at the age of two.
A few years later, her husband also died of illness. She had no place in her husband's house and her parents' house, so she simply stayed in the Marquis' Mansion.
When Xue Mei gets married in the future, Dai's mother will be her companion, so she must follow her.
I was so angry before because she was worried about Xue Mei.
Like Hongluan, Dai's mother felt sorry for the eldest lady in her heart and was angry with the eldest lady in her mouth.
"Miss, please keep these silver notes yourself. I'm really worried about getting so many silver notes in my hands," said Dai's mother again.
Xue Mei thought that there is no safe now, and the lock is easily pried open.
If someone in this mansion is ill-intentioned and steals her banknotes, she will have no place to cry.
It would be better to put it in the space for her mother Dai, so that no one can take it away except herself.
"You can take the remaining cash, and you will be in charge of all the dispatch of our Huining Garden." Xue Mei said.
Dai's mother said yes.
Xue Mei still counted twenty taels of silver to her and asked her to take it for private money, which was what she deserved.
Seeing that the eldest lady was very sincere, Dai's mother accepted it: "Thank you, Miss, thank you."
Xue Mei nodded slightly.
Dai's mother pondered for a moment, and had no intention of leaving, and said to Xue Mei: "Miss, I have something to say to you."
"My mother, please speak."
"You must collect all your silver notes by yourself, don't give them to the old lady and the marquis in a daze. The old slave knows that you are filial, but you have to plan for yourself. You are about to get out of the house and can't stay in the marquis' mansion for a few days.
If you don’t give the old lady the money, the old lady may be unhappy, but if you have money, you won’t be sad. The servants at home are all snobbish, rich, and have no money, and the difference is huge.
Anyway, after enduring this period of time, I will marry into the Wen family. The Marquis’ Mansion will not have too much dowry. At that time, you will have the huge fortune and you will also have the confidence of the Marquis’ Miss. I will not ask my in-laws to look down on you." Dai Mother said.
Dai Mom's heartfelt words.
She did not be pedantic and taught Xue Mei to be selfless and respect patriarchal. Instead, she planned for her everywhere.
Xue Mei knew that this wet nurse really felt sorry for her.
The original owner had such a loyal wet nurse and maids around him. Why did she live such a bad life?
Did she just stare at what she couldn't get?
The Marquis of Yongning didn't like her, so she deliberately showed it; the old lady didn't love her, so she served her hard; the third cousin ignored her, and she tried her best to please her, but in the end she was exhausted and she left countless laughing stocks.
Why bother?
What are you doing so cheaply?
Xue Mei can't do anything about being a hot face to touch others' cold P shares.
"Miss, I'm just selfish. Even if you don't listen, don't be angry." Dai's mother said again, suspecting that her eldest lady wouldn't listen.
Xue Mei smiled and said, "Listen, Mom. Don't worry, I won't take out a penny of money to give it to others, I will keep it all. Let's live a good life in the future.
As for my father and grandmother, no matter how much money I give, they will only treat me as a culprit and use my money to add clothes and jewelry to my second sister. How could they ever look up to me?"
Dai's mother looked at her in surprise.
I really didn't expect that the eldest lady actually woke up.
Dai's mother's eyes were a little wet. If the young lady had been so transparent, why would she be like this?
I hope she will be fine from now on.
However, since the eldest lady refused to apologize to the second lady, Dai's mother discovered that the eldest lady might be different.
Those of them who treat the eldest lady sincerely have hope.
After Dai's mother went out, Xue Mei gently touched A Chou's head and smiled slightly.
"A Chou, this matter is not over, do you believe it?" Xue Mei whispered, "It's 20,000 taels, I wonder how many people will be jealous of it."
The cat looked at her, putting his front paws on the back of her hand, as if comforting her.
"I'm so greedy for them, no one of them wants to take my money away." Xue Mei smiled again, "It should be very interesting to see their faces."
After saying that, her eyebrows were slightly bent and she laughed maliciously.
The cat stared at her quietly and saw cunning in her eyes, which seemed different from the girl who sat by the river and cried.
The girl's eyes were full of sadness; and at this moment, she was like a ball of fire, and her subtle expressions were filled with vigorous heat, which could burn people.
Calm, brave and vibrant.
The cat held his breath slightly and looked at her without blinking.
Maybe he was too focused, she saw it, lowered her head and kissed the cat gently.
The cat's back spine couldn't help but tense, which was his involuntary tension.
He didn't know whether it was joy or protest, but glanced at her.
She smiled indeed: "A Chou is so cute. Do you like me A Chou?"
The cat "sighted" at her again.
Xue Mei was happy and picked it up and kissed it again: "You can understand, you are really going to become a spirit. Mom also likes you. Ah Chou is such a good son!"
The cat suddenly stretched out his claws and patted her on the face, making a slight bare-neck sound.
Not heavy.
She was stunned and then pinched its claws. The cat did not stretch out his nails, but just hit her with a meat pad, which meant that she was playing with her.
The grin sound was like its warning.
Xue Mei was in a good mood and hugged Ah Chou and rolled onto the bed: "I'm not filial to you, and you're going to be a big deal!"
She lifted the cat high and put it down, having a lot of fun.
The cat moaned at her, and made a slight purr at the same time, indicating that it was in a happy mood.
One person and one cat had a great time having fun, and then the two of them took a nap together.
The cat lay on her lower abdomen, squinted her eyes, and entered sleep unsuspectingly.
He also had a dream.
I dreamed of the beautiful mole on the girl's eyebrows facing the sun, like a burning flame.
She is bright and warm.
She greeted him loudly and said to him, "Come here, call me mother."
The cat snored, as if he was venting anger at someone, but he was helpless.
Xue Mei also slept very sweetly.
But many people in Yongning Hou Mansion are in peace.
Especially the second lady Xue Yutan.
