Story of Minglan, After the Old Madam's Rebirth

I've watched the original novel and TV series of "Story of Minglan" several times, and some characters have left me with deep regrets.

These include the Old Madam Sheng who lost h...

Chapter 152 Education

Seeing her own people being restrained by the Bai family's men, the fourth wife was startled at first, then furious. She stood up and cursed, "How dare you! Let them go quickly! Are you so uneducated?"

Bai's face turned cold as she stared at the Fourth Lady and said, "A merchant family is naturally not as well-educated as a minor official family. But I've never heard of the rules of managing the affairs of a nephew who has split from the family. Is this what a Lady is like?"

The fourth lady, who was so angry that she fell backwards, pointed at Bai and kept saying, "You, you..."

The fourth lady, who nearly stumbled, was supported by the fifth lady. She then tried to smooth things over: "Sister-in-law, niece-in-law, we are all family. We shouldn't make things unpleasant. Let's both take a step back."

Seeing that Bai hadn't responded, the Fifth Lady squeezed her hands and said, "My niece, please let him go first. As the saying goes, you should look at the owner before beating a dog. After all, he is an elder's personal servant. It's not right to restrain him like this."

Chang Er rolled his eyes and was about to retort, but was stopped by Bai Shi. Bai Shi said coldly, "You didn't know about the new rules of the Marquis' Mansion. Only servants can show off in front of their masters. If you are disrespectful to your master, you will be dragged away and beaten with twenty boards to teach you a lesson."

As soon as she finished speaking, Matron Gong dragged Matron out of the room. The Fourth Lady closed her eyes and fainted. The Fifth Lady, unable to support herself, fell to the ground together. Chang'er, receiving Bai's gaze, stepped forward and fiercely pinched the Fourth Lady's philtrum. Aww, the philtrum was pinched until blood came out, and the Fourth Lady suddenly woke up.

Listening to the crackling of boards outside and the increasingly faint crying, the fourth lady shed a tear and waved to the maid, saying, "Let's go back home."

Mrs. Bai was not going to let them go back in such a miserable state. She ordered, "The two ladies are in a very unbecoming state. Clean them up and put on their hats before sending them back."

She twisted her ankle and looked back at Mrs. Bai, her heart trembling inexplicably.

The maid of the fourth lady was beaten half to death and carried back. Chang Er took out half a jar of salt and sprinkled it on the seats where they had just sat. After that, he sprinkled it again along the way. As he sprinkled, he said, "Get rid of bad luck, get rid of bad luck."

After sprinkling the salt, Chang'er went into the house and said to Bai, "Miss, will those two come again?"

Bai stood up and said, "Of course they will come. When I have money, I am their treasure pot. When I have no money, I will be their target for venting their anger."

Chang Er, who had never seen such a person since childhood, couldn't help but say: "How can there be such a scoundrel in the world? It really opened my eyes."

Yes, how could such people exist in the world? Such noble families, such grand mansions, only to find out once you enter them is filled with stench. Thinking about this, I thought of Gu Yankai, who was stationed at the border. He had been away for almost a year, just like in his previous life, and hadn't sent a single word. Bai hadn't sent him a single letter either, but Aunt Xia sent him letters and clothes every month.

Mrs. Bai walked into the inner room, looked at the two boxes of clothing, and instructed Lancao, "Go, ask Madam Xia to make four more sets of clothes for Yu'er every month." Then she said to Chang'er, "Hang these two boxes of clothing in the clothing shop. In the future, ask Madam Xia to make more clothes and have the clothing shop send some patterns."

She covered her mouth and laughed, her body trembling slightly. After she had laughed enough, Chang'er said, "The young lady is very kind. She found such a good job for Aunt Xia, so that she won't have nothing to do all day and do stupid things."
