Chapter 57: This is too much

When the master and servants arrived at Fushou Hall, Old Madam Lin was feeling flattered by their flattery. She glanced at her and asked, "Why are you here?"

Song Yanxi didn't say anything, but someone spoke for her.

"My daughter is worried about the old lady's health, so she cooked some nourishing blood swallows herself, hoping to nourish you."

Is Song worried about her health?

joke!

If she didn't spend all day thinking about how to make her angry to death and bring disaster to their general's mansion, she would have gone to burn incense and pray to Buddha.

Thinking of this, Madam Lin couldn't suppress the disgust on her face.

Noticing the subtle changes in the ladies' expressions, Lin Tingxuan coughed lightly and hurriedly stood up to take the tray from Zhuzhi's hand.

Looking at that familiar color, Madam Lin stopped him sternly, "Stop!"

She stared intently at the porcelain bowl on the tray and said angrily, "Song, I think you are really crazy. You actually use the imperial gift to serve porridge!"

"It's actually a gift from the emperor?" Several people in the room looked surprised.

Lin Tingxuan said without hesitation: "Mother, you must be seeing things wrong. Even our servants don't use porcelain bowls of this quality."

These crude and straightforward words made the ladies frown.

Mrs. Qiu even asked directly, "I wonder what kind of gold, silver, and jade items the servants in the General's Mansion use? They're not even worthy of this fine blue-and-white porcelain."

After hearing these words, the mother and daughter's expressions changed instantly.

"No, this is impossible..." Mrs. Lin muttered, struggling to get out of bed.

She saw clearly that day that what fell to the ground was just ordinary white porcelain. If Song hadn't said it was a gift from the emperor, she would have thought it was a loss of value if she used it to feed the dog.

Lin Tingxuan supported her and whispered, "Mother, this is really blue-white porcelain."

Earlier, at the eldest princess' birthday banquet, she saw someone present a pair of blue-and-white porcelain vases, which the eldest princess liked very much and placed on a table for people to admire.

She took a few more glances while no one was paying attention, and clearly remembered the luster and texture, which were exactly the same as the porcelain bowl in front of her.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin suddenly looked at Song Yanxi, "Song, I didn't know you were so scheming. I, as your mother-in-law, really underestimated you."

First, she brought the porcelain bowl bestowed by the emperor, and now she brought this priceless blue-and-white porcelain. She was deliberately trying to embarrass her in front of outsiders.

This bitch's heart is so vicious!

Song Yanxi frowned and asked in confusion, "Why does mother-in-law miss me so much?"

Madam Lin sneered, "Because you are that kind of person, full of schemes and vicious thoughts..."

"Mother!" Lin Tingxuan interrupted her harshly.

The shout brought some of her thoughts back to her senses. Old Madam Lin said hurriedly, "I'm really sick and confused. What nonsense am I talking about?"

Lin Tingxuan followed her words and said, "Mother, please stop talking and rest well. The ladies know that you are ill and will definitely not take these nonsense seriously."

Mrs. Qiu was too lazy to watch the mother and daughter go crazy, so she stood up immediately and said, "Since Mrs. Lin is ill and unconscious, we will not disturb her."

Lin Tingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'll see the ladies off."

"There's no need to trouble Miss Lin San. We're not in a hurry to leave." Mrs. Xu said coldly.

Lin Tingxuan was a little confused by this and was about to ask something when she heard Mrs. Qiu, the leader, say, "I wonder if the princess is free today. Could you please give us a cup of tea?"

Listening to her cheerful voice, Song Yanxi curled her lips slightly, "Mrs. Qiu is too polite. Everyone, please come this way."

"Qiu?" Madam Lin suddenly thought of something and clutched the quilt beside her, her eyes widening. "Are you Qiu Yuanzheng's wife?"

Madam Qiu nodded her chin slightly and said bluntly, "Madam Lin is really old and her eyesight is dim. She talked to me for such a long time and she didn't even know where I came from."

The ladies nearby couldn't help laughing.

Looking at this scene, no matter how slow-witted Mrs. Lin was, she realized that she had been fooled. She was about to speak with trembling lips, but Mrs. Qiu took the lead.

"Come in, you guys. Be gentle when you take things, don't bump into anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, several maids came in from the door.

Watching the gifts piled up on the table being cleared away in an instant, Mrs. Lin felt a mouthful of blood stuck in her chest, almost suffocating her to death.

Lin Tingxuan was stunned.

Not only the mother and daughter, but also Song Yanxi and his servants were amazed. They didn't expect that there was such a way of giving gifts.

"You...you guys!" Old Madam Lin was shaking with anger and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

These women are really going too far.

When Feng'er and his wife return home after performing their duties, she will definitely make these women with long hair and short knowledge kneel before her and kowtow to admit their mistakes!

Mrs. Lin was just thinking about it when she saw Song Yanxi, who was originally walking out, suddenly turned around and looked at her with a cold look in her eyes, as if she was looking at a dead person.

A bone-chilling chill surged from the depths of my heart and spread to every part of my body.

Seeing the horror on her face, Song Yanxi suddenly curled the corners of her lips and said to her silently, "Mother-in-law, you must take care of yourself."

This silent threat is the most terrifying.

Mrs. Lin didn't react until she turned around. She cursed her as a "bitch" and grabbed the medicine bowl at hand and threw it outside.

*

At Lingxi Pavilion, several ladies drank the nourishing tea prepared by Song Yanxi and praised it highly.

When she told Zhuzhi to prepare some food for them to take away, although she was being polite, the smile on her face was particularly bright.

Regardless of whether the items are expensive or not, the thought alone gives them enough face.

While the others were enjoying their tea and not paying attention to them, Mrs. Qiu said with a sincere smile, "I've only heard my master talk about the princess before, and I thought he was exaggerating. I never thought you were so approachable."

Song Yanxi smiled lightly, "Mrs. Qiu, you are too kind. You are Yanxi's elder, so I should call you aunt. It would be better for us to talk behind closed doors."

Mrs. Qiu was a straightforward person, so she agreed immediately. She took her hand and sighed softly, "It's all my fault for being in poor health. Otherwise, if I had met you two years earlier, I would have definitely snatched you away to be my daughter-in-law, and saved you from having to endure this humiliation here."

"Aunt, be careful."

Mrs. Qiu smiled, "What are you afraid of? Even if the mother and son are here, I will still tell you what I want to say. A good girl like you, what kind of husband can't you find?"

Honestly, I would say she's worthy of being married off to a few of the princes in the capital."

Several ladies looked over and nodded in agreement.

Madam Xu sighed, "Among the princes, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is undoubtedly the best. It's a pity..."

"Sister, why are you talking about this for no reason? Come, have some tea." Mrs. Yao quickly changed the subject.

The ladies continued to chat and laugh, but the atmosphere in the room was far less relaxed than before.

Madam Qiu took Song Yanxi's hand and chuckled, "My disappointing son is a deputy general under His Royal Highness Prince Jin. He is currently training his troops at the Tiger Mountain Camp outside the capital."

Feeling her extraordinary enthusiasm, Song Yanxi was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Fearing she might be frightened by her, Madam Qiu coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Your uncle Qiu and I have a daughter. Her stubborn temper is a real headache. I wonder if you, Yanxi, would be willing to teach her a little for us."

She was about to say something when Zhu Lu came in hurriedly, "Miss, someone is coming from the palace."
