Those who were familiar with the Old Madam knew that the Old Madam hated beautiful women the most in her life, because she had suffered a great loss in the hands of beautiful women. She was even almost divorced by the Old Madam in order to give her position to his mistress.
The second reason was that she hated watching opera. The reason was even simpler, because the woman the Old Madam liked liked to watch opera the most.
Jiujiu was beautiful to begin with. Now that she had started to watch opera, she really violated the Old Madam's two taboos.
Hearing the singing from the Ling Shuo's courtyard, the Old Madam's face instantly darkened. She was almost livid as she was helped by the servant girl to the Ling Shuo's courtyard.
When she saw Jiujiu sitting below and watching the group of people who kept singing in front of her, the Old Madam directly scolded, "Ridiculous!"
As soon as the Old Madam opened her mouth, it was like a bomb had been thrown into the crowd. The performers who were still singing immediately knelt on the ground and began to tremble.
Although Jiujiu was Ling Shuo's wife, everyone knew that Ling Shuo respected the Old Madam the most.
If Jiujiu really quarreled with the Old Madam, it was fine that Jiujiu was pregnant with Ling Shuo's child, but these performers who had no one to rely on would definitely be abandoned.
Thinking of this, the performers who were already trembling violently trembled even more.
Putting the melon seeds in her hand on the plate, Jiujiu stood up and looked at the Old Madam who was standing at the door with a dark face. She greeted her with a smile, "Grandma, are you here to watch the opera too?"
Seeing Jiujiu ask the Old Madam if she was here to watch the opera, the servants who served the Ling Family all looked at Jiujiu as if she was crazy.
The Old Madam's face was fierce. She was clearly not here to watch the opera, but to find fault. Only Jiujiu, who was pregnant with Ling Shuo's child, dared to ask this.
Seeing Jiujiu ask her if she was here to watch the opera with her red and seductive lips, the Old Madam's face instantly darkened. She glared at Jiujiu and said, "Who allowed you to invite the opera troupe to perform at home?"
The Old Madam's attitude of condemnation made everyone break out in a cold sweat for Jiujiu.
However, Jiujiu did not play by the rules at all.
Jiujiu answered the Old Madam, "Grandma, you didn't let me go out, and the child in my belly wanted to watch the opera very badly, so I invited the opera troupe to perform at home with us............"
The Old Madam did not expect that Jiujiu would directly use her words to shut her mouth. She even used the child that she had just found out about as a shield. The Old Madam's face, which was already livid, instantly turned black. She was so angry that she almost fainted.
The Old Madam wanted to scold Jiujiu, but Jiujiu's fearless look made the Old Madam have no desire to scold her.
The Old Madam glared fiercely at Jiujiu and left in a huff.
Looking at the Old Madam's back, Jiujiu rolled her eyes. She sat back down on the stool and said to the group of actors kneeling on the ground, "Where were we just now? Continue. "
The actors looked at each other for a long time and finally chose to continue singing.
Even the Old Madam could not do anything to Jiujiu. It seemed that Jiujiu's status was much higher than the rumors outside said.
The Old Madam had just returned to the house when the sound of singing came from outside again.
The Old Madam's face darkened. She lifted the vase beside her and smashed it on the ground.
Seeing the Old Madam smash her favorite Qing Hua vase, Lady Mei, who was serving the Old Madam, quickly helped the Old Madam to sit on the stool. She stroked the Old Madam's back and comforted her, "Old Madam, it's not worth it to ruin your health because of that kind of person."
The Old Madam had lived for so long. She naturally knew that it was not worth it to ruin her health because of someone else, but she could not help it.
She had lived for so many years. Other than the time when the Old Master had been bewitched by that vixen and wanted to divorce her, she had always been the one who had been angered by others. When had she ever suffered such a loss?
She thought of Jiujiu's nonchalant expression when she spoke to her. She also thought that the moment she left, Jiujiu asked the actors to continue singing. It was obvious that Jiujiu did not care about her at all.
A plaything sent by the Bai Family dared to treat her like this. She was really going to turn the world upside down.
The Old Madam raised her hand and rubbed her forehead that was dizzy from being angered by Jiujiu. She gritted her teeth and said to Lady Mei, "Go and call Ling Shuo back."
She did not believe that Ling Shuo would ignore her, his biological grandmother, for the sake of Jiujiu.
Not to mention anything else, just the word 'filial piety' was enough to kill Ling Shuo.
Lady Mei hurriedly sent someone to the military to call Ling Shuo back.
This time, Ling Shuo came back very quickly. He arrived at the Old Madam's room in less than an hour.
Looking at the tall and sturdy Ling Shuo who was standing in front of her, as steady and reliable as a mountain, the Old Madam instantly thought of the Old Master.
There were so many children in the Ling Family, but only one who really resembled the Old Master was Ling Shuo.
Not only did Ling Shuo look like the Old Master, but he was also as capable as the Old Master. From the fact that he took control of South City in just a few years after he came back, it was obvious that he had a bright future.
Ling Shuo was a child who was full of surprises. However …
Thinking of Ling Shuo's current wife, Jiujiu, the Old Madam was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Jiujiu was not only ugly, but her personality was also not likable. Everyone knew that they had to please her. However, Jiujiu not only did not please her, she even made her angry. Thinking of how Jiujiu found a troupe to perform in the courtyard, the Old Madam wanted to tear Jiujiu apart alive.
However, the Old Madam was a little distant from Ling Shuo. Even though the Old Madam could control the Ling Family, she did not dare to casually punish Jiujiu. Therefore, she prepared to call Ling Shuo over and ask Ling Shuo for his opinion.
If Ling Shuo did not have any opinion, then he should not blame her for being ruthless.
However, the Old Madam was not sure what kind of feelings Ling Shuo had for Jiujiu. After all, Ling Shuo had done many things for Jiujiu that were impossible in the eyes of others.
The Old Madam said, "Shuo 'er, I called you over today because I want to talk to you about your wife."
Hearing the Old Madam mention Jiujiu, Ling Shuo's expression softened instantly. "What's wrong with her?"
Seeing that Ling Shuo's attitude softened instantly because of Jiujiu, the Old Madam's heart was in her mouth.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see Ling Shuo's attitude towards Jiujiu. She was afraid that it would be impossible for her to deal with Jiujiu.
However, it was impossible for the Old Madam to give up so easily. The Old Madam could only say with a sullen face, "Do you know that your wife asked a troupe to perform in the courtyard today?"
Ling Shuo had heard that the Old Madam wanted to ground Jiujiu, but he knew that Jiujiu would not be obedient to the Old Madam, so he did not take it seriously. However, he did not expect that Jiujiu would ask a troupe to perform in the courtyard.
Thinking of the Old Madam's taboo, Ling Shuo thought in his heart, "What a clever little girl."
