Chapter 81: Grudge
Sun was not stupid. She could tell that Hu was not only scolding Zhao, but also warning her not to covet the power of housekeeper.
I felt a little unhappy for a moment.
Isn’t this sister-in-law too domineering?
It was the old lady who asked her to hand over the housekeeping power. What does it have to do with her?
What's more, the big money is still in the hands of the wives. She and the third wife don't get to enjoy the lucrative and powerful things, right?
Does Mrs. Hu have the guts to be sarcastic to the three wives?
They only pick on the weak and bully her and the third brother's family!
It’s okay for the third family, they are all from the first wife, and there will be something to fight for in the future.
She is a member of the second branch of the family. When the Marquis's Mansion is divided in the future, everyone will just be relatives. There is really no need for her to bow her head.
But Sun was used to being aloof, and couldn't say anything unpleasant. She snorted coldly, "If the eldest sister-in-law wants to teach the third sister-in-law a lesson, just say it in front of everyone. The third sister-in-law is gone. Are you saying these things to me?"
"Even though my Sun family isn't as wealthy as Duke Ping, we're not the kind of people who turn their backs on a little money! Sister-in-law, you should find the right person to vent your anger on!"
After saying that, he turned away and walked away.
Sun was so disrespectful to Hu that she was stunned at first, then flew into a rage: "Look, I haven't been the housekeeper for long, and the third wife has the guts to leave first. Even the second wife has the guts to give me a hard time!"
Huamei hurriedly advised, "Grandma, you're a bit too angry today! It's okay with Third Madam, but Second Madam isn't from our first wife's family after all! Besides, Second Madam has always been like this, so why are you still bothering with her?"
Du Juan also poured tea: "Grandma, have a cup of tea to calm down!"
Xi Que couldn't help but feel sorry for Mrs. Hu: "Grandma, you were really doing this for Third Grandma's own good! It's a pity that she didn't appreciate it. She was so rude and rude, showing her cowardice in front of outsiders. Now she's trying to hide her shame?"
"Grandma gave her the reward and shut up those people outside! Third Grandma didn't show any gratitude to Grandma, and it seems like she's holding a grudge against her! I think Grandma shouldn't be such a good person. Good intentions really don't get good rewards!"
"Shut up! You think this isn't a big enough fuss, right?" Bai Ling glared at Xi Que and pushed her out of the house. "Go outside and watch over those guys!"
Turning around, he tried to persuade Mrs. Hu: "Third Madam has always been a confused person. Why did you get so angry about this? You're just being too impatient. It's fine if you just said it to Third Madam, but if you did it in front of Second Madam, wouldn't Second Madam misunderstand you?"
"Besides, Second Madam has always been disdainful of vulgar things and knows her limits! She may have misunderstood that Grandma had taken her along, so she said such words! It would be better if I, your servant, went to apologize to Second Madam on your behalf tonight to avoid any rift."
After being persuaded by the maids, Mrs. Hu's anger disappeared.
Turning back, thinking about what he had just said, he felt a little regretful: "I must have been confused just now. I don't know why I got so angry and said such words!"
"The second family is probably offended by me! The third family is also unhappy! But the fourth family is the most slippery and ruthless. It's time to run away."
"Never mind, forget it. Pack up some things for a while and apologize to the three young ladies on my behalf. Tell them that I haven't been in good spirits these past few days and said the wrong thing! I'll host them another day and apologize in person!"
Bai Ling went to pick out the gifts by herself without mentioning anything else.
In the evening, Bailing and several other maids came back with gifts of apology. They all said that the three young ladies accepted the gifts very kindly and did not say much.
Only then did Mrs. Hu feel relieved.
Two days later, I found an opportunity and treated my three sisters-in-law to a party for the whole afternoon, and the matter was finally put to rest.
But it’s hard to say whether there are any grudges left in everyone’s heart.
As the days passed, the injuries on the third master's face were almost healed, except for his leg, which was broken when he tried to escape the clutches of the girl who raped him. He was still tied with a wooden board and had to lie in bed all day, unable to move.
Because the third master cannot move, the mansion has been much quieter recently.
April 27th is the birthday of the Prince of Shu's wife.
Early in the morning, except for the third master who could not move, the old lady and the old marquis, all the masters in the mansion, big and small, were dressed up and ready to go to the Prince of Shu's mansion for the banquet.
The Prince of Shu's Mansion is some distance away from the Ningping Marquis' Mansion, and is also close to the imperial city.
The King of Shu was the eighth son of the late emperor.
The late emperor did not have many offspring. Including those who died young, there were only nine princes.
The King of Shu was the youngest son of the late emperor and was quite favored in his later years. The King of Shu's Palace was closer to the imperial city and was not inferior to the palaces of his brothers.
Later, the current emperor ascended the throne. The King of Shu was young and had not been involved in the fight for the throne. Therefore, after the current emperor came to the throne, he was quite kind to his younger brothers.
The King of Shu is honest and kind-hearted, and he is always respectful to the current emperor.
Among all the princes of the late emperor who are still alive, the King of Shu lives the best and enjoys the most respect in front of the emperor.
Therefore, although it was only the birthday of the Crown Prince's wife, it was rare to hold a grand banquet, and all the prominent people in the capital who had some connection with the Shu Mansion came.
The traffic in front of the Prince of Shu's mansion was stuck for a mile.
The Ningping Marquis' Mansion and the Shu Prince's Mansion are relatives, so naturally there is no need to queue.
Lan took Lu Zhenzhen in a car and gave her instructions along the way, telling her whose car was in front, whose car was behind, what was the relationship between them and the Ningping Marquis Mansion, or who were their relatives, and what was their relationship with who in the Shu Prince Mansion.
After the explanation, Lu Zhenzhen felt dizzy and her head was spinning. She felt that the complexity of this was comparable to asking her to memorize a complicated chemical equation.
My mind is full of questions like who is whose aunt, whose aunt, whose cousin, or whose aunt.
From the mother's side, they are cousins, and from the father's side, they are uncles and nephews.
The relationship is such a mess!
For a moment, Lan's eyes began to swell with mosquito coils.
It was the first time that Lan had seen Lu Zhenzhen look so hopeless, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I'm just telling you this today. It's a little confusing the first time you see her, but as time goes by and you get to know her better, you'll naturally become familiar with her!"
Only then did Lu Zhenzhen relax.
Oh my God, the stumbling block that prevents her from becoming an excellent daughter-in-law is this messy family relationship!
Before Ning Pinghou's convoy arrived at the palace, the people inside knew about it.
The steward of the palace personally welcomed him at the door.
The men stayed ahead to drink and socialize.
The female members naturally went into the backyard.
As soon as we arrived at the second gate, the Shu Princess's trusted maid had been waiting for us for half a day.
Upon seeing Jin and her group, she immediately put on a smile and hurried over to greet them: "Hello, my aunts, hello, my grandmothers! Please come in, the princess has been waiting for you all morning! You are finally here!"
As he said this, he glanced at Lu Zhenzhen who was following Lan.
