Chapter 182 The Li Family is Too Bullying
Su Yujiao continued to persuade: "Mom, you are too kind-hearted, so you think everyone is too kind."
"Not every mother-in-law in this world is willing to treat her daughter-in-law well."
"You still don't trust Mo Feng and Mo Ying's skills. Asking them to investigate such a trivial matter is a complete waste of their talents."
Zhou nodded. That’s right. Mo Shu and Mo Hua were the guards in public, while Mo Feng and Mo Ying were the secret guards hiding in the dark.
Their abilities are superior to calligraphy and painting, otherwise they would not be hidden as trump cards.
"Go ahead, be careful not to alarm the Li family."
"Let's see how the Sixth Miss is doing in the Li family. Is it as she said, with a loving couple and harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"
"Yes."
After Mo Feng and Mo Ying left, Zhou couldn't help but nag: "You are just too cautious. The kind of thing you said will not happen. They don't dare."
"The Li family is just a small official of the fourth rank. How dare they bully the jewel in the crown of my general's mansion?"
Su Yujiao didn't say anything. Her mother-in-law thought too highly of her family background, so she was so confident.
It is not certain that we will discover anything tonight, because the Li family is very good at superficial work, making it impossible for people to find fault.
In fact, they are a bunch of ungrateful people.
Mo Feng and Mo Ying didn't return until dawn. Zhou asked, "How was it? Did you find anything?"
Mo Feng shook his head. Zhou looked at Su Yujiao with a little pride, as if to say, "You are too suspicious."
The Li family didn't dare to bully her daughter.
Su Yujiao asked, "Tell me in detail what you saw last night."
Mo Ying replied, "When I left, the Li family was having dinner. Miss Six was serving dinner to her parents-in-law, and her son-in-law was not at home."
"How do you serve?"
"He stood beside Madam Li the entire time, picking up food for her and carefully removing bones and bones."
When Zhou heard this, she suddenly frowned. It was a daughter-in-law's duty to serve her mother-in-law, but just picking up a piece of food with chopsticks symbolically was considered a sign of filial piety.
Another situation is that when a new daughter-in-law just comes home, some mothers-in-law want to show off their power to their daughter-in-law, so they let her serve them throughout the meal and deliberately show off her status as the mother-in-law.
"Don't they have servants? Why do they need Weiwei to serve them at meals?"
Mo Ying said, "It was the Sixth Miss who forbade the maids to do it."
When Zhou heard that her daughter volunteered to serve her mother-in-law, she felt both relieved and sad.
The good thing is that my daughter was not bullied and she is filial, which is great.
It's sad that even if a married girl meets a good in-law family, she will not enjoy as much as when she is in her parents' home.
Even though Weiwei was filial, she couldn't bear to order her around like this.
Su Yujiao asked again, "Auntie, you served my parents-in-law the whole time, didn't you sit down and eat something yourself?"
"Sixth Miss ate in the kitchen with the servants."
"What?" Zhou slammed the table and suddenly lost her composure.
Mo Ying continued, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family seemed to be pregnant. She started retching halfway through her meal and complained about the greasy smell in the dining room, so Madam Li had the food removed."
"Sixth Miss can only use a few quick bites in the kitchen."
"This is outrageous! The Li family is going too far."
It was then that Zhou remembered that the Li family had many sons and grandsons, and more than one daughter-in-law. Why did she only let her daughter serve them when there were so many daughters-in-law?
"Didn't the other daughters-in-law of the Li family stand up and express their opinions?"
"Except the pregnant one."
Mo Ying shook his head. "Everyone else took their own seats. Only Miss Six supported Madam Li into the dining room, so she naturally stood next to Madam Li."
At this moment, Mo Feng suddenly interrupted and said, "There seems to be only one empty seat at the dinner table."
"If the son-in-law is dining at home, won't there be a place for Miss Liu?"
Thinking about it this way, Weiwei has been serving meals to her parents-in-law for more than a day or two. She wouldn't be eating leftovers at the Li family all year round, right?
She always has to wait until the whole family has finished eating before it’s her turn to eat, so she ends up eating leftovers every meal!!
Zhou's face had turned ashen and she was shaking with anger.
Su Yujiao continued to ask: "What happens after my aunt serves her parents-in-law their meal?"
"Afterwards, Miss Six was called in by Madam Li to speak. Madam Li kept praising Miss Six for being filial and sensible."
Su Yujiao frowned: "What did Madam Li say to my aunt? Why did she suddenly praise my aunt?"
"Madam Li said that the eighth daughter of the Li family is getting married, but Lord Li is an honest official and cannot give the eighth daughter a splendid and respectable dowry. He is so worried that he can't sleep."
"The Sixth Miss gave her Twelve Jade Hairpins to the Eighth Miss as a dowry, and was praised by Madam Li for this."
Zhou was no longer calm. She had spent a large sum of money to make that set of Twelve Jade Beauties for Weiwei. It was the most valuable and prestigious set of all her dowry.
Moreover, the reward was given in the name of the Queen, just to tell the Li family that Weiwei has the Queen's support.
How could she just give it away?
The Li family really doesn't know the rules. How can they ask their daughter-in-law to pay the dowry when their daughter gets married?
"Then?"
"After that, Miss Six washed Madam Li's feet and then rested in Madam Li's room."
Zhou stood up suddenly and asked, "She even washed her mother-in-law's feet?"
The daughter she raised had never washed her feet, but she actually went to wash her mother-in-law's feet?
What kind of life did Weiwei live in the Li family?
The daughters-in-law of the Li family all came from humble backgrounds, and only Weiwei married into a lower class. Why does she live such a humble life?
Su Yujiao grasped the key point: "What is your sister doing staying in Madam Li's room?"
Mo Feng glanced at Zhou's unpleasant expression and spoke cautiously, "Mrs. Li seems to be in poor health. Miss Six served her water six times in one night, helped her get up three times, and even tucked in the quilt and added charcoal to the fire from time to time."
After hearing this, Zhou was heartbroken. It would be strange if she didn't look haggard after serving someone all night long.
Zhou was so angry that she knocked over her teacup and cursed: "Are all the servants of the Li family dead? Why don't you let the servants serve?"
"Why do you have to let my Weiwei serve you?"
"The young lady has been bullied like this, and you two come back and still say it's abnormal?"
"What are you thinking?"
"If Jiaojiao hadn't asked one more question, would you have stopped talking?"
The two men immediately knelt down and said, "Madam, please calm down. This subordinate deserves death."
"Miss Six did all this willingly. She was not bullied."
"From the beginning, Madam Li didn't allow Miss Six to do these things. It was Miss Six who took the initiative to drive away the maids and insisted on serving."
Zhou was so distressed that she burst into tears. She knew why her daughter served her in-laws so well. It was because she felt guilty for not leaving any descendants for the Li family, so she wanted to make up for it in other ways.
This silly girl really made her feel distressed.
Zhou suddenly grabbed Su Yujiao's hand and said, "Jiaojiao, you must help your sixth sister."
"She's so humble because she hasn't given birth to a child."
Su Yujiao also felt distressed that the girl who used to be so sunny, lively and cheerful had been tortured by life into this state.
However, what Mo Feng Mo Ying saw was not the truth. The truth was far more cruel than it seemed.
This was also the reason why she made a special trip. She couldn't bear to see such a good aunt being killed by a scumbag and a bitch.
