Chapter 35 Every woman cares about her husband's opinion of her
The Marquis's wife now found Liu Mingyue annoying whenever she looked at her. She thought the previous scene was already very irritating, but she didn't expect that there was something even more irritating.
As soon as the words to ask Liu Mingyue to go back to the yard fell, Liu Mingyue hurriedly stood up, bowed to her, and said respectfully: "Yes, your daughter-in-law will go back to the yard to reflect on her mistakes and will not disturb Madam's peace anymore."
After saying that, Liu Mingyue quickly left the Marquis's courtyard. The words "immediately" and "right away" were really appropriate to describe her.
The Marquis's wife realized belatedly that this guy had said so much because she was the one who asked him to be driven away.
"Bitch!" The Marquis's wife was so angry that she knocked down the teacup on the table. She was irritated to death by Liu Mingyue's hypocrisy.
"Madam, please be patient. Who is she? She is said to be from the Zhou family, but she is just the stepdaughter brought by your aunt. Why do you have to bother with her?" The nanny waved to the maid to come in and clean up, while she hurriedly poured tea for her.
"She is certainly not worthy of my having to deal with her, but she is so presumptuous. If I don't teach her a lesson, won't she climb over my head in the future?" The Marquis's wife slammed the table.
She was determined to teach Liu Mingyue a lesson, but Liu Mingyue was the Crown Prince's Consort after all.
It was related to the reputation of the Marquis's mansion. If the Crown Prince's wife was laughed at by the servants, Yan'er would also be embarrassed. It was fine for the servants, but if the concubines were laughed at, she would be so angry that she would die.
"Mother Duan, go and call Yan'er over to me and tell her that I have something to tell you."
Madam Hou snorted coldly. Any woman in the world would care about her husband's opinion of her. Even if Liu Mingyue had many tricks, could she still go to heaven?
As a mother-in-law, she couldn't bring herself to punish her and make a fool of herself, so it was better to let Liu Mingyue's husband scold her. Firstly, it was reasonable, and secondly, it could also relieve her anger!
Qin Zhuoyan happened to be at home. When she learned that her mother had told her that she had something to say, she soon arrived at the Marquis's courtyard.
"I wonder why my mother asked her son to come here?" Tan Zhuoyan was sitting in a wheelchair and could only bow to show her respect.
When she saw her precious son, the Marquis's wife recalled Liu Mingyue's words of praise but hidden criticism, and her face darkened.
After a while, no one at the table spoke. Tan Zhuoyan raised her head curiously and asked, "Mother?"
Glancing at the gloomy look in the eyes of the Marquis, she seemed to be filled with anger, and was startled: "I wonder if I have done something wrong to make you angry. Please tell me clearly, mother."
Although Qin Zhuoyan had crippled legs and was disabled, she was still respectful and filial to the Marquis's wife. When she saw her mother's bad face, she thought she had made her mother angry, so she quickly apologized to her.
"My son is respectful and modest. When I was angry, it was your new daughter-in-law. Today, she didn't come to greet me, so I called her to question her. Unexpectedly, she was disrespectful in every way."
When the Marquis's wife talked about Liu Mingyue, she got so angry that she had a headache. She was so angry that she even felt a little dizzy.
"Even if you are not a proper young lady of the Zhou family, since you are married into the Marquis's mansion, you should know the hierarchy. What does it look like if you don't behave properly in front of your mother-in-law?" The Marquis's wife raised her eyebrows unhappily.
Qin Zhuoyan, who was sitting in a wheelchair and listening, initially thought that she had done something wrong. But when she listened carefully, she didn't expect that it was the ugly girl Liu Mingyue. The expression on her face suddenly turned cold.
"I married her. It doesn't matter that she is ugly. She can't do anything else. At least she should serve her parents-in-law well. I didn't expect this ugly girl to dare to disrespect you!" Qin Zhuoyan slowly clenched her hands on the armrest of the wheelchair.
"As a mother-in-law, I cannot scold her too much. My son, you should talk to her nicely." As the marquis's wife said this, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her non-existent tears.
She only said that Liu Mingyue did not know the difference between high and low and offended her, but did not specify what Liu Mingyue said. The fact that Tan Zhuoyan's legs were disabled was not only a concern for the Marquis' wife, but also a thorn in Tan Zhuoyan's heart.
The Marquis's wife dotes on Tan Zhuoyan, and is afraid that telling her son about the flowers might upset her son. However, she has never considered that Liu Mingyue is not good-looking, but her son is inhumane. As the Crown Prince's consort, she will never have children in this life. Isn't this even more sad?
"Don't worry, mother. Even if she is disrespectful to you, I will not tolerate her arrogance. If she behaves well, it will be fine. But if not, oh!"
After Qin Zhuoyan finished speaking, he ordered the servants who were serving him to push his wheelchair away, and went to Liu Mingyue's room angrily.
Liu Mingyue's yard was a little far away. When we arrived at her yard, she was actually sipping tea by the window.
"You shameless ugly girl! I put you in the mansion, not expecting you to do anything to please others, but you shouldn't be disrespectful to my mother!" Qin Zhuoyan spoke in a stern voice, attracting the attention of all the servants in the yard.
Liu Mingyue was a little surprised to hear Qin Zhuoyan's voice. She didn't expect that the Marquis's wife would complain to her son.
"Why do you say that, Your Highness? I don't quite understand. When I was serving tea to my mother before, she told me that I didn't need to go to pay my respects every day, so I didn't go. But today, my mother wanted to talk to me, so I didn't dare to neglect it and hurried over."
As Liu Mingyue spoke, she quickly walked out of the house and bowed to Tan Zhuoyan in the yard.
Seeing her approaching, Qin Zhuoyan, who was about to accuse her, moved back in disgust.
"If it is as you said, and you serve your mother wholeheartedly, why does she cry and say you are disrespectful to her?"
Tan Zhuoyan snorted coldly, with an expression that said, "Could what my mother said be wrong?"
Liu Mingyue secretly rolled her eyes at him in her heart, but on the surface she lowered her head and kept admitting her mistakes, being as cowardly as she could be.
"My mother-in-law said I was disrespectful. I think it was because of His Highness. My mother-in-law called me and asked me why my husband moved to the study, but I, as a wife, did not sympathize with my husband and serve him."
Who wouldn't shed a few tears? Liu Mingyue immediately squeezed out two tears. Her acting was much more realistic than that of Madam Hou. After sobbing for a while, she continued to explain.
"When I saw my mother-in-law was furious, I explained that my husband didn't like me and I didn't want to make him angry, so I didn't get close to him. I think my husband was happy about it. Maybe, what I said annoyed my mother-in-law."
As Liu Mingyue spoke, she leaned on the armrest of Tan Zhuoyan's wheelchair, wiped her tears and cried, slowly telling him the whole story.
"What?" Qin Zhuoyan stared blankly at Liu Mingyue who was lying beside her, and even forgot to avoid her.
"As a daughter-in-law, it's my fault that my mother-in-law is unhappy. Since my mother-in-law has told my husband, I know what to do." Liu Mingyue seemed not to hear Qin Zhuoyan's surprised and confused question, and continued to talk to herself.
"From today on, I will go to the study to deliver meals to my husband every day, care about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and help him take a bath and even sit up. These are actually my responsibilities as a wife."
