Chapter 144 Off to celebrate grandson's birthday
Lingmiao stammered and could only cry; she dared not say anything more.
She dared not speak, but the two beside her began to speak up, saying that now was the time to quickly pledge her loyalty, and perhaps she could beg for mercy.
Seeing them chattering away, Grandmother Jia frowned in displeasure.
Upon seeing this, Agate immediately said:
“There is no manners in front of the master. Let’s go through them one by one.”
Liu Hong dared not try to snatch it again. She was stunned for a moment before Liu Jiang spoke first. She could only curse inwardly, "That little hussy Liu Jiang."
After hearing Liu Jiang's explanation, Grandmother Jia was furious. She had only meant well by sending someone to take care of her grandson.
These people dared to outwardly comply while inwardly defying orders and doing such a shameful thing; no wonder Hu'er felt wronged.
Grandmother Jia had already made up her mind, and spoke with a stern face.
"Lingmiao, do you recognize her?"
Lingmiao kowtowed and wept, saying:
"Grandma, I was truly blinded by greed for a moment. I will never do it again!"
[Oh my, it's making me cry, and you're still acting!]
Seeing Lingmiao crying, Jia Hu really wanted to complain.
Being pretty is certainly an advantage, but Lingmiao only seems to stand out among the maids.
When Grandmother Jia saw that Lingmiao was indeed there, and still looking so sly and unruly, she became even angrier. What was she doing now?
Lingmiao noticed that Grandmother Jia's complexion had worsened, and her heart tightened.
Isn't the old lady the one who likes pretty people the most?
Suppressing her anger, Grandmother Jia knew this maidservant couldn't be allowed to live.
"Since you admit it, then consider it your fault."
As a maid, it's one thing for you not to serve your master wholeheartedly.
Secondly, sowing discord between masters.
This is the third point: attempting to control a younger master.
This is the fourth point: attempting to seduce one's master.
Are you convinced?
Upon hearing this, Lingmiao forgot all about how pretty the angle was and cried pitifully, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Having managed the Jia family for many years, Grandmother Jia had seen it all, and seeing her like this, she was completely unmoved.
[Grandma, you're too quick! She hasn't even said anything about her grandmother yet, and Mommy Lai hasn't even bitten her yet!]
Hearing his grandmother swiftly pronounce the sentence and seeing that the punishment was about to begin, Jia Hu quickly said:
“Grandmother, I heard her say that her grandmother is Lai Mama, who has served Grandmother for many years. Shouldn’t we let her participate as well?”
Lingmiao's eyes lit up immediately. That's right, her grandmother was there. She would be alright.
My grandmother has served the old lady for so many years. She deserves credit for her hard work, even if she hasn't done anything special!
Jia Hu could tell at a glance what Lingmiao was thinking.
[Lingmiao, you need to step up your game! Quickly bite your grandmother and get her involved.]
Upon hearing this, Grandmother Jia realized that Hu'er was after her old servant, Granny Lai.
Grandmother Jia frowned, still feeling uneasy. After all, she was an old woman who had been with her for many years, and there was still affection between them.
I don't know what Lai Dajia did to make Hu'er insist on bringing her in.
Even the most respected elders are no match for their grandsons.
Besides, I've never wronged her over the years, and now that she's with me, I don't have to lift a finger.
Even at home, she has maids to serve her, and she lives a more comfortable life than some officials' wives outside. All of this is thanks to her own efforts.
Well, there must be a reason why Hu'er did this. Hu'er is not a fool. I hope this old friend will not disappoint me and can at least save some face.
After thinking for a moment, Grandmother Jia said:
"Where did Lai's mother go?"
Agate replied:
"Reporting to the old lady, Madam Lai has asked for leave."
Grandmother Jia: "What is the matter?"
Agate glanced at Lingmiao and replied:
"They said it was their grandson's birthday."
Lai's mother was just a little too proud; even a kind old lady shouldn't act like that.
Just because it's his grandson's birthday today, he took several days off.
When Grandmother Jia raised her eyes,
"Whom did you ask for leave from?"
Agate quickly replied:
“Lai’s mother told you.”
Grandmother Jia thought for a moment, then slammed her hand on the table.
"That's really unruly!"
Grandmother Jia was furious. She had been so busy that she had completely forgotten about it, but now that it was mentioned, she remembered.
It was that wretched mother! She looked at me anxiously, saying that something had happened at home and she wanted to go back for a few days.
I wondered what had happened, so I didn't ask what was wrong and just told her to go back. It turned out that something was wrong because it was her grandson's birthday!
If I had talked to myself properly, I might have agreed. But I shouldn't have acted out the whole thing. I took a full five days off just for my birthday!
