As a concubine, without the permission of the mistress, she dared to speak casually, let alone interrupt her. Mrs. Liu should have reprimanded her for being so unruly, but she didn't. Instead, she showed a look of fear. "Niang, after all, my younger sister just got married. She doesn't understand many rules. Please forgive her."
If these words were said by Madam Zhang, other people would only think that she was hopeless. But since it was Madam Liu, the way everyone looked at her was a bit strange. Was it because she felt threatened, or … …
Jingwan's attention was not on Mrs. Liu. In her opinion, no matter what Mrs. Liu's reaction was, it was normal. But this woman who called herself Huan Niang, looking at her posture, she was not a person who didn't understand etiquette. But she did such a rude thing. It could only be said that what Mrs. Liu wanted to say might be more unfavorable to her. As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils. However, Mrs. Liu only wanted to say her name. The harm caused by a name was nothing more than "offending and taboo". Jingwan's first thought was that her name might offend her grandmother. As for the name "Huan Niang", it was most likely changed for some reason after Mrs. Liu saw her last night.
And Mrs. Liu didn't say Huan Niang's original name. Her purpose was to create trouble for Huan Niang.
Since it had nothing to do with her, Jingwan looked away after a few glances. She glanced at Luo Jingying, who looked a little dispirited, and Luo Jingqiang, who was much more beautiful than usual. Luo Jingying was probably scolded harshly, while Luo Jingqiang was about to break free. She didn't want to continue living in Luo Jingying's shadow and was gradually blooming her own brilliance.
Jingwan didn't know that after she looked away, Huan Niang was quietly sizing her up. Among the younger generation, Old Madame doted on her the most. That kind of bearing and self-restraint, as well as the indifference from inside out, could only be cultivated by being carefree and following one's heart. It was really enviable. However, if she wanted to establish a foothold in this backyard, it was true that she couldn't offend her. However, it was not a bad method to occasionally use her hand to restrain Liu shi. After all, people with discerning eyes could see that Old Madame didn't like Liu shi. If she used her hand to plot against Liu shi, no matter what the result was, Liu shi would suffer. However, she must be careful when doing things. If people knew that she was the one behind it, her end would be much worse than Mrs. Liu's.
Jingwan didn't know that in this short period of time, someone had ideas about her. But even if she knew, it didn't matter. She would deal with whatever came her way. Even if those powerful people were given some time to plan carefully, even if she couldn't trample them into the mud, she could make them fall. And it would be easier to deal with the ghosts in this house.
"You are the third branch. As the mistress, you should take care of yourself. You don't need me to forgive you."
"Niang is right." Mrs. Liu felt wronged. She looked at Madame Luo's eyes as if she was bullied by a concubine. Not only did she not get her mother-in-law's help, but her mother-in-law also bullied her.
Even Jingwan was a little shocked by her mother's pitiful appearance. As the Liu matriarch's daughter, Luo Jingying was shocked speechless by her mother's appearance, not to mention the others.
This style changed too quickly and too strangely. If Mrs. Liu hadn't been in front of everyone's eyes, they would have thought that she was a different person.
However, looking at Madame Luo's originally indifferent face, it gradually sank and had a tendency to become colder and colder. The others were affected and became more and more quiet. Only Mrs. Liu was still the same.
Just when Jingwan suspected that Mrs. Liu had also been seen through, she found a contradiction. Mrs. Liu's mood did not change with her grandmother's mood. This was not the performance of a bully. Even if her grandmother didn't like her, she didn't pull down her face like now. So, Mrs. Liu had really angered her grandmother.
Jingwan looked carefully and thought carefully again. She understood that Mrs. Liu had not been seen through. She was still the same person, scheming and scheming. This time, she was angered by Luo Rongping. She was ready to tear off her hypocritical mask and do something desperate.
Madam Liu's appearance was actually a threat. If Madam Luo didn't stand on her side, then soon, the people outside would know that she was a "punching bag". She was determined to drag the reputation of the Luo family down with her.
Madame Luo sneered, "Mrs. Liu, I really misjudged you before."
Although Madame Luo was usually kind, after all, she had accumulated power for decades. When her aura was released, Mrs. Liu would definitely not be able to withstand it. Her face could not help but turn pale. "Niang, your daughter-in-law has no choice."
In fact, what Madame Luo really cared about was not that Mrs. Liu was unscrupulous, but that she was selfish. For her own interests and face, she could completely abandon her children that she always talked about. If it was really for the good of the two children, why couldn't she endure it? After all, she was the mistress of the house. Even if Lady Huan had the upper hand, public opinion and etiquette would be on her side. As long as she endured it until her daughter got married and her son became an adult, she could let go of all the torment and revenge. But she just couldn't bear the slightest grievance. She didn't want to wait, and she didn't want to endure it.
It was pure nonsense to say that she had always been compromising in the Luo family. It was fine if she was domineering in the third branch, but Madame Luo didn't suppress her, let alone torture her, and her sisters-in-law didn't make things difficult for her. It was she who wanted to pretend to be virtuous and magnanimous. Who could she blame? With Madame Luo's temper, even if her daughter-in-law had no children, she would not put people around her son. If you were really jealous and made a big scene, she might even help you stop those concubines from entering the house. If you were willing to pretend, who would take the initiative to speak up? It's not like you have nothing better to do.
Speaking of which, she could keep pretending because her bottom line was not stepped on. But when her bottom line was stepped on, she was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. All the hair on her body stood up and she jumped up high.
Lady Liu didn't care about her children, but Madame Luo couldn't not care about the reputation of the Luo family. If it was really spread that she mistreated her son's daughter-in-law, being gossiped about was not a small matter. She was afraid that she would be caught and accused of not being strict with the family. If Luo Shangshu's political enemies also accused him of "how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep the house", his official position might be taken away.
Madame Luo's eyes fell on Lady Huan. "Go back and copy the female commandments three hundred times, and then learn to be a concubine. I'm not feeling well, so I don't have to come to pay my respects in the future. It's so noisy that I have a headache."
Lady Huan didn't complain or get angry. She was obedient.
Many people sighed in their hearts. Sure enough, this person was not easy to deal with. She could force Lady Liu to use extreme methods to find Madame Luo to be her backer. Was this something that an ordinary person could do?
Lady Liu was satisfied. Her disgusting image disappeared. "This daughter-in-law will go back and talk to her. In the future, she will not disturb you." Madame Luo was the villain. Even if Luo Rongping knew about it, at most, he would say a few words to Lady Liu. The punishment of his beloved would still be carried out, unless he dared to disobey Madame Luo.
Madame Luo was not happy, so naturally, Jingwan was not happy. Originally, she wanted to watch the third branch's drama and add more firewood when needed, but now she changed her mind. Luo Jingying often targeted her, but she didn't care. But if he stretched his claws to the head of the person she cared about, then don't blame her for cutting off his claws.
"Dismissed. Those who didn't come don't need to come." After Madame Luo finished speaking, she directly got up and went to the back.
Jingwan let her two younger sisters go back by themselves. She went to see Madame Luo. Jingwan was worried that something bad would happen to her because of anger.
Madame Luo's sullen mood lasted for a while, so she talked to Jingwan about her marriage. "Later, I will have someone send a message to your eldest grandaunt and let her send a message to your third granduncle. I believe that it will be settled in a month or two at most. At that time, the spring examination will be over, and Min Geer can have a double happiness."
"Grandmother, are you asking me to add happiness to Cousin Min?" Jingwan said with a smile.
"Of course, a married daughter is like spilled water." Madame Luo pretended to be serious and said.
"Grandmother, granddaughter is sad." Jingwan cooperated and showed a pitiful look.
The grandmother and granddaughter laughed together.
The servants around Madame Luo all breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, before Madame Luo's message could be sent to the Chen family, news came from the other side, saying that their third brother, Chen Zhengmin's grandfather, had brought his family to the capital again. When the letter was sent from their side, they also set off. Calculating the time, at most ten days to half a month, the family would arrive in the capital.
Madame Luo was very happy. Not only could she see her brother, whom she hadn't seen for many years, but she could also settle Wan Wan's marriage as soon as possible. It was no wonder that Madame Luo was so anxious. Because when it came to Jingwan's marriage, she always felt unsure. If it was not confirmed, her heart would always be in suspense. Although this feeling was strange, Madame Luo had to treat it seriously.
