Chapter 412 Forced Invitation

Zhao Liya nodded and smiled, "If Mother wants to see them, they should come immediately. If they don't come, it's against the rules. If it's against the rules, I won't allow it."

The Duke's wife nodded with a satisfied smile: "Well, go ahead!"

Zhao Liya took people there immediately.

The Duke's wife had rarely taken the initiative to invite Madam Zhou Er and Madam Zhou San to her courtyard, but she had to invite them now that she had married her son. Why else could she have done that? You could figure it out with your toes.

Those two won't be the kind of people who would cooperate so well. They would definitely find excuses to refuse to go.

It was impossible for the maids sent by the Duke's wife to fight with them, and it was even more impossible for the Duke's wife to lower herself to call them in person.

Although they might not be able to put it off for many days, they would eventually have to go, but the process was too long. If just asking someone to go could drag on for half a month, then there was no point in doing anything else.

Even if this kind of thing is useless, but it can cause trouble for the people in the first wife, there is an 80% chance that those two people will do it.

Zhao Liya went to invite them personally, which clearly showed that she did not give them any reason to refuse.

In a word, go there immediately when I call you!

Because these two are the housekeepers together, there is a special meeting room. They meet in the meeting room at fixed times every morning and afternoon to discuss and deal with things.

Zhao Liya estimated the time and saw that the housekeepers and maids who were waiting to be dealt with had basically left, so she brought her people here.

When they saw her coming, Mrs. Zhou Er and Mrs. Zhou San looked at each other and their expressions immediately became unhappy.

Everyone knows each other well.

"Hey, why is my niece-in-law here? Is there something wrong?"

Mrs. Zhou Er had a forced smile on her face when she spoke.

Because of Zhou Rui's incident, the two sides had already become mortal enemies.

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt!" Zhao Liya smiled and stepped forward to greet them politely. "Mother has something to ask Second Aunt and Third Aunt, please come over. Second Aunt and Third Aunt, please go in!"

Mrs. Zhou San laughed and said, "This is quite interesting, sister-in-law. Now that she has a daughter-in-law who is filially serving her, she comes to us instead. In the past, she wanted to rest quietly and didn't allow anyone to disturb her!"

Mrs. Zhou Er smiled faintly, "That's right, niece-in-law. Are you kidding us?"

Zhao Liya: "You two aunts are really good at joking. Even if I had the guts to do it, I wouldn't dare to make such a joke!"

Mrs. Zhou San nodded. "Okay, we'll go when we're free later. You go ahead. Please give our regards to my sister-in-law. She hasn't been in good health, but she seems much better now that you've come in. I guess it's just the joy of happiness. You should spend more time with my sister-in-law and show your filial piety to her. Go!"

Mrs. Zhou Er snorted in an ambiguous manner.

Zhao Liya was certain that once she left, they wouldn't come "later" at all. They would simply be too busy.

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Grandma is waiting for you. Please follow me now and don't keep Grandma waiting for too long."

"Well, we still have some things to discuss here. You go ahead, we'll be there soon."

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt——"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying to you? Why don't you leave?" Mrs. Zhou Er was already impatient and scolded in a deep voice, "Zhao, do you have any manners or manners at all? Or do you just not understand? The elders have explained it so clearly to you, and you are still making a fuss here? You don't even have the slightest bit of common sense. You will become a laughing stock in your future interactions with others! Don't bring disgrace to the Duke's Mansion!"

Mrs. Zhou San smiled good-naturedly and tried to smooth things over: "Second sister-in-law is just impatient. The child is still young, so just teach him well. Don't scare the child with such blunt words."

"Oh, if you're scared by this, then you're truly unfit to be the Crown Prince's wife! What's the point of being so cowardly and ignorant?"

"Second sister-in-law, calm down and talk it over nicely!"

"I'd like to talk to you nicely, but some people are just too pushy and won't listen."

Zhao Liya: “.”

The double act between these two is really wonderful.

Zhao Liya smiled slightly. "Second Aunt and Third Aunt are really good at joking. I naturally understand what Second Aunt and Third Aunt say, but my mother-in-law has instructed that Second Aunt and Third Aunt must be invited over. Second Aunt and Third Aunt should also feel sorry for their niece-in-law and not make things difficult for her. Besides, if my mother-in-law is looking for Second Aunt and Third Aunt, there must be something going on. It wouldn't be nice if Second Aunt and Third Aunt didn't go."

"What could be the problem? Can't we go there later?"

"My mother-in-law told me to ask you two to come over immediately. As a daughter-in-law, I naturally have to obey her. Why are my second and third aunts trying to shirk their responsibilities? It's really puzzling."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhou San was furious. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you making excuses? Are we afraid of meeting your mother-in-law?"

Mrs. Zhou Er smiled and said, "We still have to go to the old lady. She wants to see us for something! Why are you so stubborn, child? Go and tell your mother-in-law. We will come over soon."

"Humph, you're not stubborn!"

Zhao Liya thought to herself, that's true, I'm not as cunning as you guys anyway.

It's impossible to go back by yourself.

"That's perfect. I'm going to pay my respects to the old lady as well. Second Aunt, Third Aunt, why don't we go together?"

Mrs. Tuesday, Mrs. Wednesday: "."

They were both stunned. They had never met such a stubborn person before! How could he not even understand the difference between right and wrong?

"What does sister-in-law want us to do?"

Zhao Liya shook her head and said very obediently: "This, my niece doesn't know, but my second and third aunts will know when they go there."

Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Wednesday looked at each other and finally stood up resigned to their fate.

They don't want to go, but the cruel reality doesn't allow them to not go.

Just because of Zhao's stubbornness - I don't know if it was intentional or not, anyway, if they don't go, she will probably not give up all day today.

Even if they don't feel embarrassed, the more important thing is that they can't hide away.

Then go, what are you afraid of?

"Let's go and see what the eldest sister-in-law wants to talk to us about that is worthy of the niece's persistence!"

Zhao Liya smiled slightly: "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, please."

Having achieved her goal, Zhao Liya decided to stop and stood aside obediently, showing no interest in arguing with them.

Madam Zhou Er and Madam Zhou San glanced at her, and the three of them walked towards the Duke's wife's courtyard, surrounded by a large group of servants.

When they approached, the Duke's wife was sitting crookedly on the couch. She smiled at them and said, "Please sit down, my sisters-in-law. I'll just sit crookedly like this. Please don't be offended, sisters-in-law."
