Chapter 30 Cao Lanxin fainted from anger

Of course Wang Min was also angry with Yuan Wanru, as she didn't even inform her of such a big thing.

Is this child stupid?

She glared at Yuan Wanru, who in turn smiled ingratiatingly. Wang Min had no choice but to suppress her anger. Girls should not be scolded, and Wanru had finally become more cheerful, so she had to be more easy-going.

After all, Jiang Nian is still not good.

"If she doesn't let you follow, then don't follow. Do you have any opinion?"

"You are like this, and you still want to lead troops to fight?"

"You have no judgment at all. I think you should retire as soon as possible to avoid bringing shame to the court."

Well, I couldn't bear to scold that little liar, so I just vented my anger on him.

There's nothing I can do. This person is my mother. I have to endure the scolding.

Lu Jiangnian simply shut up to avoid saying too much and making more mistakes, which would get him scolded even more severely.

Madam Lu shouted, "Okay, this is Rongshou Hall, not Wangchun Hall. Why are you showing off here?"

"As a daughter-in-law, how can I yell at my mother-in-law? How can I be so rude?"

"As expected, he was born a warrior. He doesn't understand filial piety at all."

Wang Min immediately felt a lump in her chest. For so many years, her family had always been compared to rough warriors, and the Lu family acted as if it was something special just because they had a few scholars.

Lu Jiangnian's eyebrows were stern, but before he could say anything, Yuan Wanru spoke first: "Old Madam, there is something I want to ask you to solve."

Madam Lu replied impatiently: "What do you want?"

"My mother is the Marquis's wife, the mistress of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, right?"

Madam Lu said coldly, "Yes, she is the Marquis's wife."

"Why, is the Marquis' wife so impressive? As a mother-in-law, I am not that impressive, am I?"

Yuan Wanru smiled sweetly: "Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a private relationship."

"The mistress of the house is in charge of the household affairs. She has to take care of all the household affairs, carefully check the daily expenses, and manage the servants of each room. She is the highest manager in the mansion and has a public status."

"The old lady comes from a family of scholars, so she should understand that abandoning selfishness and keeping a public heart is the fundamental principle for the prosperity of the family."

"As the saying goes, the sky covers all without discrimination, the earth carries all without discrimination, the sun and the moon illuminate all without discrimination, and the four seasons run without discrimination. If you practice virtue, all things will flourish."

"Mencius also said, without rules, there can be no square or circle."

"My mother is right. She is the manager of the mansion. If she was not informed of such a scandalous matter as the confiscation of the house, what else could this be but breaking the rules?"

"She was just thinking about the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. She was dedicated to the public. The old lady should be happy and should reward her. Why is she angry?"

"My mother didn't read much, but she was able to follow the principles in the books. Why is it that the old lady does the opposite?"

After hearing her long speech, Mrs. Lu felt dizzy, her eyes began to blur, her ears started to buzz, her heart was guilty and she was short of breath. She had lost all her energy.

Couldn't Yuanshi show off less once?

When did the Cao family become a scholarly family? Isn't this a blatant irony?

Yuan Wanru was clearly mocking her.

She despised Wang Min's background in front of her. Was she some kind of noble lady from a wealthy and aristocratic family?

She started reading ancient medical books and texts at a young age, and in order to understand their meanings, she put a lot of effort into learning classical Chinese.

Chinese civilization has a long history, and the wisdom of the ancients is even more amazing.

She often holds a book and reads for most of the day.

Fortunately, she had an excellent memory. Even though she had no time to read these ancient Chinese classics later, the deep impressions she had as a teenager were engraved in her mind.

Now, this knowledge has become her weapon in quarrels.

Lu Jiangnian silently curled his lips and smiled.

Although he has read a lot of books, he is not as good as Yuan Wanru in applying them flexibly.

He found it funny every time he saw her choking and turning his grandmother's face pale.

As for whether it would make his grandmother sick, he wasn't really worried.

My grandmother eats and sleeps well. She sleeps until 9:00 p.m. every day. She eats delicious food and has a strong body. It is not easy for her to get sick from anger.

The reason why I fell ill repeatedly recently was simply because of the fatigue from the journey.

The local doctor just checked my grandmother's pulse two days ago and said that she had abundant energy and blood and was in good health.

Madam Lu pointed at Yuan Wanru and said incoherently: "You...you...you shut up."

"Don't you dare say anything more."

"Madam Cao, have you found Lan Xin's red gold hairpin?"

Aunt Cao looked embarrassed, and Cao Lanxin's heart skipped a beat. No way...

Wang Min straightened her back and spoke clearly, "There is no red gold hairpin in Lingshuiju at all. The two of them almost tore down Wanru's room. The old lady doesn't need to worry that they didn't search carefully enough."

Madam Lu took a deep breath and looked at Madam Cao without giving up.

Madam Cao nodded with difficulty: "Madam, I really haven't found it."

Cao Lanxin screamed, "Impossible, the hairpin must be in her hands, are you guys looking for it seriously?"

Wang Min glanced at her calmly and sneered, "They're just short of tearing down the wall. Do you think they've been searching seriously?"

"Lan Xin, why are you so sure that the hairpin must be in your cousin's wife's hands?"

"She only entered your bedroom for a quarter of an hour. How can you firmly believe that your cousin-in-law took your hairpin just based on the words of a little maid?"

"Why can't it be your subordinates who are lying? Why can't it be that they lost the hairpin and want to shirk responsibility and frame your cousin's wife?"

Yuan Wanru answered silently, because the hairpin was given to me by her.

Unfortunately, it has disappeared now.

Cao Lanxin's face turned red and white, and she wanted to tell the truth loudly.

But how can we say this?

She saw Yuan Wanru holding the document she had just written and shaking it gently in her hand, and she was so angry that she wanted to tear her smug face apart.

The person next to him was holding a piece of paper and waving it in the air. Lu Jiangnian looked puzzled. Yuan Wanru rolled her eyes and handed the paper to him with a wicked smile: "Read it out."

She spoke in a low voice. Lu Jiangnian hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and quickly read it, then read it aloud: "If I can't find the red gold hairpin in Lingshuiju, I am willing to offer the whole set of headwear as an apology, and kneel down and kowtow to apologize to Yuan Wanru. The person who promised it is Cao Lanxin."

He glanced at her indifferently. The little liar made a lot of money again that night.

Why don't they learn their lesson?

She had just lost a mutton-fat jade bracelet, and now she had a set of red gold hairpins. He felt that Yuan Wanru seemed to have found a way to make her fortune.

This deal is the most cost-effective.

I got the money and felt relieved.

As soon as Lu Jiangnian finished reading, Cao Lanxin's eyes rolled up, she became so angry that she fainted.

"Third sister!"

Cao Lanzhi wanted to help her, but she didn't have enough strength to support her.

Then, Liang Yusong, who was standing next to Cao Lanxin, was accidentally knocked down by the falling Cao Lanxin and fell down as well.

She bumped into the redwood armchair behind her, and her waist...

“It hurts.”

The Cao sisters and Liang Yusong fell to the ground, stumbling over each other. This sudden change even stunned Yuan Wanru.

Madam Lu quickly asked someone to help the three of them up. There was chaos everywhere. Yuan Wanru covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

It’s really, kind of fun.

Lu Jiangnian turned his head to look at her. Her eyes were curved like crescent moons, and the light in her eyes was brighter than the bright moon.

He couldn't help it and curled up his lips, and a light smile appeared on his handsome face, like a spring breeze blowing and flowers blooming.
