I am a leisurely rich woman in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 81 Humble as a Mouse
Zhang smiled and explained:

"That's definitely not the case. We can tell the severity of the situation by listening to the sound of rain. We are sensible and reasonable. Just now, she reprimanded her two younger sisters for talking nonsense!"

"Besides, our Tingyu has been raised by us since she was a child. She has never served in the Crystal Palace, so her personality is particularly gentle."

Zhu understood that she was saying that Tingyu had never been a maid in the palace. She glared at Yueshu and Tinghe fiercely, and then she looked at Tingyu with a better face as she smiled at her.

"A rich girl like Tingyu who has never served anyone before is more sensible."

"Being a palace maid or not is really a big difference!"

One side of Zhang's face turned a little dark.

She is just a palace maid, so wouldn't it be insulting her as well if you talk like that?

Yue Shu was eating melon on the side. Seeing Zhu looking down on her family, she also wanted to see if Zhang could still tolerate it.
Yue Shu looked at Zhang pinching the corner of her clothes with forbearance, trying hard not to show an unhappy expression on her face.

It's just being humble to the extreme, why bother!

Zhang quickly changed the subject and asked curiously:
"Does my in-law have anything to do today? Why did you come to visit so suddenly?"

For this marriage, Zhang took care of everything. All the things needed for a wedding, except the generous dowry, and other things that should have been prepared by the husband's family, such as the wedding sedan, the bed, the money box, the food boxes... were all prepared by Zhang.

How can one be so humble?
The Zhu family, on the other hand, was sitting in their own lobby. Everything had been prepared for their family. Their son had just married a virgin girl with a dowry. They were feeling very comfortable!
Even the neighbors near where the Zhu family lived were quite curious. They said they were curious, but in fact they were there to make fun of them. What kind of family were they that were trying to "cling" to the Zhu family and were so humble? It could be said that they were looked down upon by everyone before they even entered the house.

Therefore, the Zhu family seldom interacted with the Zhang family. After all, they didn't need to worry about anything.

Zhang was also very surprised by this sudden visit today.

Seeing how Zhang was trying to fawn on her, Zhu felt inexplicably satisfied with her pride, even though she disliked Tingyu's frail body.

With such a small butt, I don’t know if she can still give birth. Besides, Tingyu is so weak that she can’t even do housework.

But she changed her mind and thought, the dowry was so generous, so it doesn't matter if she is weak. She can't give birth, but as long as she has the spirit stones, why should she be afraid that others don't have a stomach to give birth?
As for the housework, there is no other choice but to buy another maid to do the work.

She then put aside her disgust and said with a curled lip:
"My son really enjoyed the barbecue you brought yesterday. I couldn't bear to see him study so hard in such hot weather without having anything delicious to eat. After all, how can he concentrate on his studies without a good appetite?"

"So I ate a lot of the barbecue, and the fresh spiritual fruit, it tasted really good."

She looked at Zhang with a smile, but she didn't say what she meant. She just stopped there. She believed that Zhang would understand.

They are all shrewd people who have lived for many years. Zhang knew in her heart that Zhu was making fun of her, but as a mother of a Confucian scholar, wasn't it normal to make fun of her?
However, since it was already very urgent, Zhang also wanted to save some face for herself, so she quickly took over the conversation and said:
"That's really nice."

Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?

Zhu muttered to herself, and quickly put away her smile. With a cold face, she continued,
"And the grilled chicken wings are still delicious."

Zhang's heart warmed when she heard what Zhu said. Her son-in-law worked so hard, so why should she be afraid that he would not have a future? If he did, it would be the glory of her precious daughter Tingyu!
She had been jealous of Sheng Yanqing's success before, but now she had forgotten it. When she saw Zhu's smile disappear, she even felt panic for a moment. She put away her thoughts of saving some face for herself and quickly said to Zhu:
"My son-in-law is really hardworking. If he likes it so much, I will have someone send it to him later. Also, take some of the fresh spiritual juice and spiritual fruit. Only if he eats well will he have the strength to read and cultivate his literary talent." Zhu then smiled very noble and reservedly, as if she was not here to ask for food, but as if her family was here to give alms to the Zhang family.

Yue Shu looked at this scene and felt that she was really embarrassing the old lady by sitting here.

The Third Prince of the Crystal Palace, who had become a Jindan cultivator, had never been as disgusted with the servants of the Crystal Palace as Zhu was. Instead, he was very warm to them.

How could such a Confucian scholar without any achievements dare to be so presumptuous?

Just based on her status as a servant in the Crystal Palace, not ordinary people would dare to act so rashly. Madam Zhu is truly a talented person!
Tingyu suddenly thought of something and quickly smiled at Zhu, but instructed Yueshu without even glancing at her:

"By the way, didn't Brother Sheng send some spiritual honey this morning? Brother Zhu has been suffering from the summer heat, Yueyue, go get some spiritual honey."

Yue Shu was stunned when she saw Ting Yu giving her orders as if he was giving orders to a servant.

How could there be such a shameless dragon like Tingyu in this world?
Seeing Yue Shu didn't react, Ting Yu secretly hated her, but pretended to be pitiful and pleaded with Zhang:

"Mom, didn't Brother Sheng bring some fabrics that the Imperial Concubine gave us? They are just perfect for Brother Zhu. How about..."

Before Zhang could say anything, Zhu's expression of arrogance could no longer be broken, and she asked hurriedly:
"The material given by the Imperial Concubine?"

Zhang originally thought this was a great idea, but when she thought of her husband's majestic appearance, she became a little hesitant.

"My nephew who works in the palace received a reward from the Imperial Concubine a few days ago, and he gave it to me as a gift."

Zhu quickly restored his arrogant image and said with some reserve:

"We have plenty of materials at home, but my son is often invited by his friends to attend poetry gatherings. With so many important people present, he must have some better materials. He can't let others look down on him!"

Yue Shu really thought that Zhu was so shameless, but she looked at Zhang again, who was hesitant but did not refuse. Fortunately, she took out all the cloth and materials that Brother Sheng wanted to use, and the rest were for Zhang Wei and Zhang Yu.

She didn't know whether Zhang thought her husband was more important or a good son-in-law was more important.

He Qiao heard that his mother seemed to agree, so he quickly stopped her and said:
"That belongs to dad and brother!"

Tingyu said angrily:

"What belongs to Daddy and brother, isn't it our family? Why differentiate between you and me?"
