Chapter 253 Grandmother Jia 55
Yun Xi looked at Wang, "What's your response?"
Everyone in the room looked at Wang, and the Buddhist beads in Wang's hand were being turned faster and faster.
"say!"
Wang Shi stopped her hand, her face frosty as she said, "Mother, I am the mistress of the second house. If I want those vixen to die, they will die. If I want those bastards to die, they will die."
"Asshole!" Jia Zheng pointed at Wang. "I'm the head of the Second House. When is it your turn to speak so arrogantly?"
Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun and Jia Fengchun stood up hurriedly. Jia Yingchun, Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, Jia Nianchun and Jia Tanchun were all frightened and wanted to cry but didn't.
Yun Xi sneered, "You are so stubborn! Since you think you have the power of life and death over them, then I, as your mother-in-law, have the right to manipulate you at will. From tomorrow on, you two will come to Rongqing Hall at 3:00 AM every day to set the rules for me, and go back at 12:00 PM. Then I will show you what rights and rules are!"
"Boss, go to the Ministry of Works and ask for leave for your brother. Tell him that I'm not feeling well and he should stay at home to take care of me."
Just as Jia Yuanchun was about to raise her foot, she was pulled away by Jia Fengchun.
"It's all gone."
"Grandma~"
Everyone in the room was so shocked that they were speechless. The second brother's wife was really stupid and cruel. If it weren't for Zhu'er's uncertain career, Wang might have been divorced long ago. Thinking of this, the smile on his lips faded.
Jia Fengchun grabbed his sister and ran away quickly.
"Fengchun! How could we just watch our mother being killed by our grandmother..."
"What are you going to say? What else can I say? Didn't Grandmother give us enough chances? Are all my persuasion going to any use?" Jia Fengchun burst into tears. "If you didn't like concubines, why did you give them to Father in the first place? At that time, Mother had already given birth to me, and she already had three children: a boy and two girls. She had even received a spirit for Grandpa, and her position was as secure as it could be. Why did she do that? If you don't have the same broad-mindedness as my aunt, why did you try to imitate her?"
Make your own way!
Jia Yuanchun moved her lips and said dejectedly, "How could it become like this?"
Jia Fengchun looked at her and said, "Sister, you'd better pray that Mother doesn't anger Grandmother before we get married. If bad rumors spread about Mother, you and I will be forced to become nuns after the engagement is broken off!"
Jia Yuanchun turned her head sharply to look at her brother. Jia Zhu nodded gravely, "If mother doesn't wake up, my career and your marriage will be ruined."
Zhang glanced at the three siblings from a distance, then turned and left. "Ren Dong, you've had a wonderful day today. By the way, how long will the mourning period for the eldest princess's youngest son be over?"
Ren Dong explained, "It will only take one year according to the rules. However, I don't know why the old lady decided to schedule the wedding after the Grand Princess's consort has been in mourning for three years. Now there is still a year left, so the wedding should be in June of next year, and Fengchun's wedding should be in August of next year."
"I see. By the way, on June 6th, Zhu'er's wedding day, you should look around to see if there's anyone suitable. It's time to get Zhang'er and Shaochun's wedding planned as well." Zhang touched her hair. "Hey! I haven't seen Zhang'er in a long time. I don't know if he can come back for the New Year this year. Has Zhang'er written to me recently?"
Ren Dong stepped forward and said, "Madam, Master Zhang's servant wrote to ask for living expenses. The accountant paid him two hundred taels and sent it over. He didn't say anything else, so it should be going smoothly."
"That's good."
Yun Xi rubbed her forehead and looked at Jia Ying. "Mothers-in-law in ancient times were so unlucky. They had to worry about everything and had so many things to do. Can I be a modern mother-in-law next time?"
System: "Next time, there's another mother-in-law from the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"The world of immortal cultivation? Of course I have to go. I also want to try the feeling of flying. Will flying with a sword give me that feeling of weightlessness? Will I suffer a cardiac arrest?" Yun Xi imagined the future.
The system thought for a moment and said, "Ah? No way, I am a soul traveling through time, you should have a body that is adapted to the world of immortal cultivation."
"Yeah, I'm going to give myself a nice-looking face when the time comes. I don't even like looking in the mirror because my face is always full of wrinkles."
The two were chatting happily when Lanhua came to report that Aunt Zhou had eaten two large bowls of rice.
"She's still very weak, right?" Yun Xi was confused. "Can she digest two bowls of rice? Remember to give her some hawthorn water."
"No, when Concubine Zhou and her personal maid were locked up in the courtyard, they couldn't get enough to eat at every meal." Lanhua explained seriously, "So Concubine Zhou is very greedy now."
"Poor thing, she's suffered a lot. The kitchen should try to satisfy her with whatever she wants to eat. Don't let her starve." Yun Xi said she understood.
Soon it was Jia Zhu's wedding day. Jia Zhu's future daughter-in-law, Xu Changqing, brought ninety-six sets of dowry. Yun Xi heard this and quickly said to Lan Hua, "Change tomorrow's wedding gift to an imperial green bracelet."
"Isn't it too expensive?" Lanhua asked before the ceremony.
"It's the same as Miss Tian's, not that expensive. Miss Tian's dowry was 64 sets, and Miss Qing's was 88 sets. We should give them the same gift."
"Yes."
The Jia family was bustling with activity. Yun Xi asked Lanhua to keep an eye on Wang and not let anything happen. Jia Zhu led the wedding procession and went through "untold hardships" to bring back the bride Xu Changqing. After the ceremony, they were sent to Qixiazhai.
As the marquis' wife, Zhang took charge of the entire situation. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the banquet ended successfully and she and Wang sent off the guests.
"it is finally over."
Lanhua came to pass on the message, "Madam, the old lady is tired from socializing with others, so she asked me to come and inform you that you can go to Rongqing Hall at noon tomorrow."
Zhang smiled and sent the orchid away, "Yes, thank you for your consideration, old lady."
Wutongyuan
Daoxiang trotted over to Tian Tian and said, "Miss, I've counted them all. Master Zhu's wife brought eighty-eight sets of dowry!"
Tian Tian was shocked. "So much? Is the Xu family that rich? Others laugh at Master Zhu's wife for her low status. After today, I wonder who dares to laugh at her anymore."
"Yes, I didn't expect this new young lady to be so wealthy. I asked her about it, and she said she brought a lot of medicinal herbs. A few days ago, she heard that the bridal chamber had been moved to Qixiazhai, and not only did she send the furniture over, she even dug a well in the yard. She's truly wealthy."
"Hi~"
The master and servants were amazed.
At noon on the second day, the Jia family, including the clan members, gathered in Rongqing Hall to see the bride.
Jia Zhu and Xu Changqing appeared soon. Yun Xi had occasionally seen Xu Changqing at the previous banquet. This granddaughter-in-law had a very beautiful appearance. Unlike Tian Tian who was sweet and cheerful, Xu Changqing had an oval face, glowing white skin, willow-shaped eyebrows, a delicate nose, and rose lips. Her appearance was very distinctive. Although she was beautiful, her slightly serious expression diluted her beauty.
After paying her respects, she handed Yunxi a pair of shoes and a box, and whispered softly, "This is the purple Ganoderma lucidum that your granddaughter-in-law specially selected. It's just a small gift and a token of my respect. I hope Grandma won't despise it."
