Chapter 436: Gloating over others' misfortune
Qiluo and Shulan came here to lead Chen Li on Su Wenyue's orders. They just couldn't stand Chen Li's arrogance. It would be fine if the man coveted their wife, but he actually came to their house so blatantly! Do you think their wife is easy to bully? So they want to teach Chen Li a lesson, so that Chen Li knows that not only their wife, but also the maids around their wife are not easy to deal with. They want Chen Li not to be so arrogant in the future. If the master blames them, they will take the blame themselves, and the master can't be blamed.
When the people below reported that Chen Li had gone all the way to the back garden, Qiluo and Shulan had an idea. They extinguished the lanterns in their hands, quietly went over, and hid in the dark. They heard Chen Li muttering something there. After listening carefully, they actually said bad things about their master, but why did the words also praise their wife? Did they hear it wrong?
Qiluo and Shulan looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They knew that they had heard it right. This woman's thinking was really incomprehensible. Was it the other way around? If they understood it according to their understanding, Chen Li actually coveted the adults, so she should have said good things about the adults and belittled the lady. However, it was normal for them not to understand what Chen Li, a rebellious woman, did.
Seeing that Chen Li was still chattering, Qiluo and Shulan were not in a hurry. They wanted to hear what Chen Li could say, but they didn't know that they were all dissatisfied with the adults after listening for a long time.
It turned out that Chen Li was brought in by the adults, but it seemed that the adults' attitude towards Chen Li was really not very good, otherwise how could Chen Li say so badly, even they felt that it was a bit too much when they heard the adults' actions. After all, Chen Li was also a weak woman, and the adults didn't know how to cherish women. However, as the two listened, they saw smiles in each other's eyes, and expressions of gloating, but since the adults had this attitude, they didn't have to worry about being punished by the adults for teasing Chen Li.
"You deserve it for coveting our lady's husband!" Shulan's eyes were full of pride. The adults in their family would not take other women seriously. Their hearts and eyes were full of the lady. Besides, Chen Li's appearance was just average. It would be good to be rated as above average.
Shulan just thought so, and heard Chen Li bragging about herself. Especially when she heard Chen Li's words "beautiful little beauty", not to mention that Shulan couldn't help but burst out laughing, even Qiluo's eyes were full of smiles. This Chen Li was deliberately trying to make them laugh, otherwise what she said was a joke.
It was just that Shulan scared Chen Li with this voice, but Chen Li's reaction was even more funny. They only now knew that this was the reaction when encountering a ghost. They had only heard of threatening people, but not threatening ghosts. This was the first time. As a result, Shulan couldn't help laughing again, which also pissed Chen Li off. She was not afraid of ghosts. She looked like she was going to fight with ghosts. Shulan was even happier.
Qiluo was more stable than Shulan after all. She knew that she couldn't go too far, so she took Shulan out.
Chen Li was ready for the "battle", but she didn't expect that it wasn't a ghost that came out, but two charming beauties, one with a cold temperament and the other looking very lively, one moving and one quiet complementing each other.
"So it's people, you should have spoken up earlier, you scared me!" Chen Li was relieved when she saw Qiluo and Shulan coming out, but she was not angry. She said carelessly that she didn't have that intention towards Han Yu anyway, and she didn't need to be pretentious, and showed her true face in front of the servants of Han's mansion.
Shulan smiled and had a better impression of Chen Li. Although this woman was unorthodox and even fickle, she was really not a stingy person. If it was another woman, she would cry and make a fuss. Chen Li's performance from beginning to end made them look at her with new eyes.
"Miss Chen, our Madam heard that you got lost in the backyard and sent servants to pick you up. Are you going to the master or the Madam?" Qiluo followed Su Wenyue's wishes and respected Chen Li's opinion. She asked Chen Li's opinion and did not take Chen Li directly to Su Wenyue.
"Of course we're going to your Madam. We came here to find her, but we got lost and walked into this ghost garden. We couldn't get out for a long time. We were so unlucky. Fortunately, you came, otherwise I might have to spend the night here. I would be scared to death." Chen Li said without thinking, and did not hide her previous intentions.
"Miss Chen, do you have something to ask our Madam?" If it was someone else, Shulan would never be so ignorant to ask the guest about the purpose of seeing the Madam, but when it came to Chen Li, they felt uneasy. It would be better to ask clearly. Who knows what shocking things this Miss Chen will do? Although Chen Li made them happy just now, if they change their minds, they might also scare the Madam.
Although Su Wenyue thinks she is very strong and receptive, in the eyes of others, she is a spoiled young lady who has been pampered since childhood and has been raised by adults with great care. Subconsciously, they think that Su Wenyue needs to be protected, and they will automatically do such things without Su Wenyue's orders.
If it were another lady, she would also feel that the Han family's servants were impolite because of Shulan's question, and would be very unhappy, and might even leave in anger.
Who is Chen Li? She is a modern person who has accepted modern ideas. Even if she has lived in ancient times for a long time, her essence has not changed. When she saw Shulan asking this, she felt that the servants around Su Wenyue were very courageous. Not only did they have good temperament, but they were not as timid as the servants in other mansions. They looked scared on the surface, but they said bad things behind people's backs.
"I have something to do with your wife. Besides, your wife had some misunderstandings about me before. I came here this time to explain to your wife that I don't have that intention towards your master, so that she doesn't have to worry. Maybe your wife and I can become good sisters in the future." Chen Li felt that her purpose was aboveboard, and she didn't hide it. She smiled and said to Shulan.
Of course, Chen Li's good attitude towards Shulan was also because Shulan was a maid around Su Wenyue, so Chen Li didn't treat Shulan as an ordinary servant, so she used the tone of talking to a friend.
Ancient maids like Qiluo and Shulan did not feel flattered at all, but only felt Chen Li's uniqueness and weirdness. This Miss Chen was really from a merchant family, and had not received any good education. She actually talked to the servants in other people's houses like this.
In fact, Su Wenyue was also from a merchant family, but except for those who did not know the inside story, no one else would treat Su Wenyue as an ordinary merchant's daughter. After all, the second branch of the Su family was separated from the marquis's mansion, and the background was different, so the servants never thought that their masters were the daughters of merchants.
