Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: Nonsense
With a shout from Madam Qi, Little Liaoās heart trembled, her legs went weak as if they had no bones, and she plopped down on her knees to start defending herself.
"Mother, Iām not envious of this set of cloud brocade. Itās just that when I went to the Song Family, I didnāt bring spare clothes, I couldnāt return all wet, could I?"
"Shut up." Madam Qi glared at her coldly and said angrily, "Do you think Iām concerned about your clothes? Itās your words and actions. Who do you think you are, daring to rant in front of the Song Familyās matriarch, calling their personal maid a lowly servant?"
"I..."
"Even when hitting a dog, you have to consider its owner. By insulting their maid, you are insulting Matriarch Song too. Who do you think you are? Itās bad enough that you do this, and you, a junior, dare to tell others how to manage their maids? Itās simply senseless." Madam Qi felt the blood rush to her head just thinking about it, wondering how she was so blinded back then to have arranged this fool for Ruiāer.
Itās truly rash.
Madam Qiās temples throbbed, her head ached a bit, it was quite disgraceful.
Little Liao pouted and said, "Mother, I only blurted it out in a moment of urgency, my clothes were just put on, itās not that Iām unwilling, but when theyāre all doused like that, who wouldnāt be upset?"
"And being upset lets you speak wildly? Who taught you that?" Madam Qi looked displeased. "That maid sprinkled water on no one else, just you. Was it meant to target you on purpose, you think?"
Little Liaoās expression changed several times, thinking of something, she scrambled up from the ground, and said softly, "Mother, please donāt be angry, I was wrong this time, lost my temper, I wonāt dare again."
"Heh, Iāll just listen to you. With your facade, canāt I see what kind of person you are?" Madam Qi taunted.
Little Liao smiled ingratiatingly, "Mother, you see through me, which also proves from the side that I am truly sincere and open with you, unlike some others who guard against us as if weāre thieves!"
Madam Qi frowned, "What do you mean?"
Little Liao leaned in and said, "Mother, about third sister-in-law, itās likely sheās pregnant. Her claim of going to visit her grandmother is probably an excuse, she might actually be hiding at her motherās place to nurture her pregnancy."
Madam Qiās eyes flashed and then relaxed, "Pregnant? Are you sure?"
"I wouldnāt dare to confirm, but there are several small details anyone can see," Little Liao explained several details only pregnant women would exhibit and said, "I donāt believe sheās not pregnant."
She glanced at Madam Qi and said, "Actually, being pregnant is a good thing, but making it seem like weāre all villains guarding against them is too much. Weāre all family, itās too boring. Does anyone still not let her give birth?"
Madam Qi listened, feeling displeased, and said, "You know being pregnant is good, what does it matter where she nurtures it? Although you say she seems to be pregnant, without news, we cannot conclude."
Little Liao whispered, "Mother, hasnāt sister-in-law not changed her clothes for a month or two, isnāt that proof enough?"
Madam Qi shot her a look and said, "So youāve placed people in her courtyard, monitoring whether sheās pregnant or not? What are you trying to do?"
Little Liao panicked and hurriedly said, "Mother, what would I want to do? It was a little maid named Qināer in my courtyard who mentioned it a few days ago. She picked it up from some idle talk by the servants in sister-in-lawās room, you think I could do anything?"
