"Where have you been again, you naughty boy?" Old Mrs. Tang looked at her youngest son and a rare loving smile appeared on her face.
It is said that old people are most partial to their youngest sons, and this is also true for Old Lady Tang. In this family, Old Lady Tang values her eldest son, Gu Huaizhi, the most. But if she were to say who she loves the most, it must be her youngest son Gu Mingzhi and her little daughter Gu Nianshu.
"Mom, I just wanted to return the key so that it wouldn't be lost." After saying this, Gu Mingzhi wanted to take the key out of his arms. It would have been fine if he hadn't taken it out, but when he did, he found that the key was missing.
"?" Fu Kang, who was waiting to receive the key, stretched out his hand for a long time, but he didn't see the Third Master take out the key.
At this moment, Fu Kang didn't know whether to let go of his hand or continue waiting.
"Mom...I remembered it wrong. I still have the key in my yard. I'll go back and get it." Gu Mingzhi was annoyed. How could the key disappear?
However, Gu Mingzhi did not dare to tell Mr. Tang that he had lost the key to the warehouse. After all, the key was an extremely important thing.
If his mother knew that she had lost the key, she would never give it to him so easily in the future.
Tai's dowry was so large, and he wanted to take some more away.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhi felt somewhat fortunate that he was smart enough to have an extra key.
...
...
If the key is lost, just make another one and return it. His mother shouldn't be able to tell.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhi went out again.
Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue watched Gu Mingzhi hurriedly go in, and then watched Gu Mingzhi hurriedly leave.
"Sister, why is he so anxious? What is he going to do?" Jiang Jinyue said maliciously.
"I don't know, maybe something important is lost." Tai Jingwan replied with a faint smile on her lips.
Nanny Liu next to her also looked at the legitimate wife of Marquis Xuanping with some curiosity. Although her own daughter entered the family as a concubine, the concubine in a wealthy family is still a concubine. Even if they are on an equal footing, she still feels inferior to the legitimate wife.
Nanny Liu also felt that since her young lady came from a merchant family, she was already prepared to be looked down upon by the legitimate wife's people in the future.
However, during the days since she entered the mansion, although she did not feel that the people in Yingxue Pavilion were very enthusiastic towards them, they did not treat them too harshly either.
The two of them suppressed their emotions and entered Tingsongju, but were greeted by Old Tang's angry rebuke: "Kneel down!"
Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue looked at each other, not understanding what the old lady was up to. However, they both pretended not to know that the old lady was talking to them.
"I wonder why mother-in-law is so angry?" Tai Jingwan asked Mrs. Tang in a gentle voice.
"Mother-in-law, please don't get angry and hurt yourself. Let's sit down and talk it out if we have anything to say." Jiang Jinyue also said quickly.
Old Tang originally thought that his words were enough to intimidate the two men.
But she didn't expect that these two people were pretending to be ignorant even though they knew the truth, and they actually pretended not to understand her.
How could this not make old Tang angry?
"Madam Eldest Young Master, Madam Second Young Master, how could you do this? The old lady is clearly talking about you two." Nanny Qin looked at Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue who didn't take it seriously at all, and said quickly.
"Mother-in-law, I wonder what my daughter-in-law and sister did wrong?" Tai Jingwan stood in front of old Mrs. Tang and asked with a respectful look on her face.
"How dare you! Is this how your Tai family upbringing taught you to be disrespectful to your mother-in-law?" Old Mrs. Tang accused angrily.
Tai Jingwan, who originally wanted to have a good talk with Mrs. Tang, was now a little angry.
Why does this old woman say that the Tai family has bad education?
When Tai Jingwan was about to say something, she was pulled by Aunt Qiao.
Nanny Qiao knew that if Tai Jingwan said anything at this time, she might be charged with disrespect.
"Mrs. Gu is polite." Madam Qiao first performed a half-bow to Mrs. Tang.
Old Mrs. Tang just glanced at Madam Qiao and didn't take the old woman seriously.
Just a servant.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam Gu. I was the one who taught my young lady all the rules and manners. In the past, in the palace, I also taught Princess Jiaqing in the same way. The emperor even praised Princess Jiaqing for having the best etiquette." Nanny Qiao said slowly.
Old Mrs. Tang choked. She didn't expect that the old nanny beside Tai Jingwan was actually an old nanny from the palace.
How could she not know this in the past? If she really knew, this old nanny had also taught Princess Jiaqing. She would have asked Tai Jingwan to have someone teach Gu Nianshu etiquette.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Tang looked at Tai Jingwan, and couldn't say a word she wanted to say.
When Jiang Jinyue was watching happily, Old Tang turned to look at Jiang Jinyue and angrily said, "Jiang, do you know your crime?"
Jiang Jinyue’s eyes widened. What crime had she committed?
"Mother-in-law, I wonder what crime I have committed in just two days since I entered the mansion?" Jiang Jinyue asked Old Mrs. Tang with a puzzled look on her face.
[This old woman, your sister can’t make sense, so she takes it out on me? 】
"I wonder what you think my daughter-in-law and Sister Jiang did wrong to make you so angry?" Tai Jingwan took a deep breath and asked Old Mrs. Tang.
"Why don't you explain to me where the injuries on your body came from?" Old Mrs. Tang glared at the two men.
Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue now understood where the old lady's anger came from.
"Mother-in-law, if we had a choice, my daughter-in-law and Sister Jiang would not want to suffer this injury." Tai Jingwan thought for a moment and said with a sad face.
"Humph, you don't want to get hurt? I see you guys are quite happy with it." Old Mrs. Tang said angrily.
"Mother-in-law, where do you get this from?" Jiang Jinyue felt that no matter how good her temper was, it would be ruined by this old lady.
Who is okay and loves to be hurt? Or was it the kind of injury that nearly cost you your life?
"Who of you started it first?" When Mrs. Tang thought about this question, she forgot what Nanny Qiao had taught Princess Jiaqing.
What are you doing?
Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue were both a little confused.
Who made the first move?
That's definitely not them.
"What do you mean, old lady?" Aunt Qiao stepped forward and asked.
"Madame Qiao really taught the rules well, making the legal wife and the concubine wife fight each other. Is this the rule taught by Madame Qiao?" At this time, Old Mrs. Tang finally caught Madame Qiao's fault.
Even the experienced Nanny Qiao was stunned at this moment.
When did she teach the young lady to fight with the concubine?
"Does mother-in-law have any misunderstandings?" Tai Jingwan asked this question, feeling a little uncertain.
Could it be that Old Mrs. Tang thought that the injuries on herself and Jiang Jinyue were caused by their fight?
Thinking of this possibility, Tai Jingwan was a little amused.
"Hmph, if there is any misunderstanding, it has spread everywhere. The two sisters-in-law have stolen the limelight, and it has brought shame to our Xuanping Marquis Mansion and my brother. I want to ask, in which family in the capital city would the wife fight with the concubines?" Gu Nianshu's blunt words spread from outside.
