Chapter 13: Mrs. Min's Visit 2

"No problem, I believe with the guidance of the tutor and Madam Min, your teaching, little sister will soon change." Zhehe continued Mrs. Min's words.

Mrs. Min was stunned, obviously not expecting Zhehe to be so straightforward and impolite in agreeing with her.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Aunt Min? Did I say something wrong?" Zhehe blinked innocently at Mrs. Min and said.

Although Mrs. Min was taken aback for a moment, she quickly responded, "No, Zhehe is right. Jing'er's behavior is indeed inappropriate, and we must correct it."

Zhehe narrowed her eyes, lowered her head, and her eyes flashed slightly. She thought to herself that she should have known that Mrs. Min was a cunning and adept at disguising herself. It would be difficult to find any flaws in her.

"Zhehe, you just woke up and your body is still weak. These are top-quality bird's nest and white jade sea cucumber. Eat more, and your body will recover faster."

Madam Li quickly handed the box of bird's nest and sea cucumber to Mei'er and then returned to stand behind Mrs. Min.

"Aunt Min, there's no need to be so polite. These are our own things. If Zhehe wants to eat, she can just ask someone to get it. It's unnecessary for Aunt Min to personally deliver it." Zhehe picked up the teacup, used the lid to skim off the tea leaves floating on top, took a sip of tea, and said.

Only someone as cunning as Mrs. Min could give away her own things and make it seem like a favor.

Mrs. Min was once again taken aback. She did not expect Zhehe to be so straightforward. Even if she had a thick skin, she would not dare to say that the bird's nest and sea cucumber were given to Zhehe by her.

"Zhehe, Jing'er is young and your own sister. If there's anything wrong, Aunt will apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her." Mrs. Min used her best skill, playing the card of blood being thicker than water.

"Aunt Min, what do you mean? Shouldn't you be asking for forgiveness on behalf of little sister? It's little sister who made the mistake, so why should I be angry?" Zhehe pretended to be sad.

"So in Aunt Min's heart, no matter what mistakes little sister makes, we sisters cannot be angry with her. It seems that as long as there's someone to protect her, she can behave unreasonably. Is Aunt Min deliberately bullying me because I don't have anyone to protect me?" Zhehe's words left Mrs. Min stunned. She never expected that Zhehe would twist her words so easily.

After realizing this, Mrs. Min sighed and said, "Alright, it's Jing'er's fault. If you're still angry, it will be difficult to resolve. I was too insistent."

Saying this, Mrs. Min took Zhehe's hand and patted it, saying with deep emotion, "Zhehe, I won't ask for much else. I just hope you won't distance yourself from me because of this incident. I hope you will continue to visit our courtyard as usual."

Her previous words were just a test for Zhehe. She knew that if she continued, she wouldn't get anything from Zhehe, so she quickly stopped and tried to appease her.

"How could I? Aunt Min is Aunt Min, and little sister is little sister. As long as Aunt Min is fair, I won't confuse the two. Besides, managing the household is already hard work for Aunt Min. I won't bother Aunt Min by coming over often." This statement was a refusal to visit Mrs. Min frequently. And of course, she wouldn't blame Mrs. Min for Su Manjing's mistakes. Su Manjing's fault was her own, and Mrs. Li Min's fault was her own. She hadn't forgotten what Su Manjing said before she died in her previous life.

"Then rest well. Aunt will come to see you when she has time. You can eat these bird's nest and sea cucumber without worry."

Mrs. Min naturally wouldn't stay any longer after being repeatedly rebuffed by Zhehe, so she said.

Zhehe smiled and said, "Aunt Min, these bird's nest and sea cucumber are indeed more precious than ordinary ones, but with the power of our Prime Minister's Mansion, I can afford them. You don't need to say that again in the future."

"I didn't expect that after so many years of managing the household, Aunt Min is still not as open-minded as a child. If Aunt Min does something wrong in the future, please let me know."

Mrs. Min took a deep breath and felt a surge of unwillingness. She was, after all, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now she was being scolded by a younger generation. How could she accept it?

Facing Li Min's calmness, Zhehe couldn't help but admire her and thought to herself that Mrs. Min was really patient.

She clearly remembered that in her previous life, after being moved by Li Min's various kindness, she went to her uncle and asked him to marry Li Min. The first thing she did after that was to change the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion and deal with those who were dissatisfied with her.

Li Min, a person who could carefully plan and patiently wait for more than ten years, was someone who could endure such humiliation. Zhehe had to admire her.

Zhehe sighed again, realizing that she had lost so miserably in her previous life because of such a person.

After Mrs. Min left, Mei'er asked while holding the box, "Miss, what about this bird's nest and sea cucumber?"

"Throw them all away," Zhehe said indifferently without even lifting her eyelids.

"All the bird's nests and sea cucumbers are soaked!" Mei'er was clearly shocked. Miss couldn't possibly eat this much at once, what a waste.

"Yeah, they're all soaked. Since these are good things, there's no point in hiding them. It's better to share with everyone."

Mei'er was speechless, but since it was decided to soak and cook everything and send it out to the masters of various households, she didn't say much more. She just took the box and left the room.

That morning, an unusual scene appeared in the prime minister's mansion. All the maids and servants in Xiehe's courtyard were mobilized, each holding bird's nests or sea cucumbers and heading to the residences of the other masters in the prime minister's mansion.

After returning to the mansion from the court session, Su Hu listened to the steward's report and praised Xiehe lavishly, feeling that a legitimate daughter should have the demeanor of a legitimate daughter. Even Su Wanyue and Su Manjing didn't miss out, much to Su Hu's satisfaction.

He felt that his daughter should be like Xiehe, with the grandeur of a legitimate daughter. Without delay, he had someone send Xiehe many valuable gifts.

In Xiehe's courtyard, Mei'er looked at the various precious silks, gold and silver utensils and her eyes lit up, her admiration for Xiehe soaring to new heights.

"Miss is Miss after all. Just a few bowls of bird's nests and sea cucumbers exchanged for so many more valuable things." Mei'er smiled contently, showing off her teeth.

"Quickly put away your money-loving look and store all these things in the warehouse." Xiehe didn't know how to address Mei'er's money-loving nature, and although she knew Mei'er was a money-lover, she would never betray her for money.

But Mei'er's nature had to change for the better.
