Chapter 358 Old Lady Lu Fainted from Anger
Zhou Fang sat on a carved mahogany chair, twisting a handkerchief unconsciously with her fingertips, the corners of her mouth slightly turned down, a hint of impatience and boredom flashing in her eyes.
This old lady is making a fuss again. It's always like this. She obviously can't gain any advantage, but she still keeps making trouble. She is really bored.
She has been busy with her son Lu Jiangxin's marriage recently. The red tape alone is enough to give her a headache. How can she have the energy to get involved in these trivial matters?
"Old lady,"
She forced a smile and gently advised, "Brother and sister-in-law are husband and wife after all. There are some private conversations that are not suitable for us outsiders to hear."
"Why don't you go back and have a rest first, and wait for the next letter from elder brother, then your daughter-in-law will accompany you to read it?" She deliberately softened her tone, for fear of irritating this old woman who was easily explosive.
"roll!"
Old Man Lu slammed his hand on the wooden table, causing the teacup to clink and a few drops of tea to splash out, leaving dark marks on the tabletop.
"I want to hear it now! If you don't call Bai'er back, I will go to the government office to find him myself!"
Her turbid old eyes flashed with stubbornness, and her wrinkled face flushed red. "I want to let everyone in the capital see how the wife of the loyal and brave marquis bullies her mother-in-law!"
Zhou Fang rolled her eyes in her heart and complained: With your strong and aggressive personality, who can bully you?
Yuan Wanru was really fed up with Old Lady Lu.
Can't she just enjoy her life in peace and quiet?
She put down the teacup in her hand, and the porcelain clinked against the wooden table, making a crisp sound. She slowly stood up, her skirt falling like water, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Go ahead, I'll go with you, let the world judge and see who is shameless."
Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, but every word was sharp.
Zhou Fang's eyes lit up, and she was secretly delighted: Here it comes! Yuan Wanru is going to deal with the old lady again!
She quietly moved back, fearing that she would be splashed with blood.
Old Madam Lu has never been an easy person to get along with, which is why none of the daughters-in-law in the family call her "mother-in-law".
Because they don't like to be close to her.
Originally, Zhou Fang wanted to compete with the first wife and Wang Min, but after being disciplined by Yuan Wanru last time, she became more open-minded.
She insisted on charging into someone she was destined to lose to. What kind of person is she if not a fool?
She is not a fool.
After she came to her senses, she was eager to see Yuan Wanru punish Old Madam Lu. After all, she had suffered a lot of grievances because of Old Madam Lu.
There are two or three concubines in Lu Bai's courtyard, but they were all the idea of Old Madam Lu. How could Zhou Fang not feel resentful?
Madam Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed her finger at Yuan Wanru's nose and said, "How shameless! How could I be so shameless? That's my son's letter. It's only natural for a mother to read her son's letter!"
Her voice was shrill, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"So what if it's your son?"
Yuan Wanru sneered, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her almond eyes, "Do you want to watch your son bathing and changing clothes? Do you want to watch your son having sex with a woman?"
She looked around, her eyes sharp as a sword, "These are all private matters between husband and wife, even a mother should know how to avoid taboos. You are so old, and you insist on reading the sweet words your son wrote to his wife. Isn't that shameless?"
These words were too blunt, and both Wang Min and Zhou Fang blushed.
Wang Min coughed lightly and quietly pulled her daughter-in-law's sleeve, signaling her to stop.
But Yuan Wanru obviously does not intend to give up easily today.
Madam Lu was so angry that her eyes turned red, her shriveled chest rose and fell violently, and she cursed with trembling lips: "You, you shameless thing! It's a misfortune for our family that Jiang Nian married you!"
"Really?" Yuan Wanru suddenly smiled, her curved eyebrows and eyes revealing a bit of innocence, "I think he married me because of the good deeds of his ancestors."
She counted on her slender fingers, "I study and write, I am well-educated and well-mannered, I never make things difficult for him, I manage Lingshuiju in perfect order, where else can he find such a virtuous wife?"
Lu Jiangnian stood firmly beside Yuan Wanru, staring at Old Madam Lu with a sharp gaze: "Grandma, you are wrong. It is not a misfortune for our family that my grandson can marry Wanru, but a great fortune."
His voice was steady and powerful, and every word was sonorous: "Wanru is good at managing the household, can distinguish right from wrong, has a kind heart, is kind, gentle and virtuous. There is no other woman like her in the world."
Listen, it seems that all the compliments are being given to Yuan Wanru.
Lu Jiangnian took Yuan Wanru's hand, his eyes full of tenderness: "I think she is my lucky star, and even more so the lucky star of our Lu family."
Wang Min thought of Lu Jiangnian's Gu, and then thought of the contents of Lu Song's letter, and nodded: "Yes, Wanru is the lucky star of our Lu family, the Marquis said so too."
Old Madam Lu was really too lazy to look at Lu Jiangnian's useless appearance.
It's as if you have never seen a woman like her before, and there is no other like her in the world?
That’s right, there is no one else in the world who is as sharp-tongued, murderous and ruthless as her!
Yuan Wanru smiled particularly brightly after hearing what Lu Jiangnian and Wang Min said.
Zhou Fang thought to herself, how did Yuan Wanru manage to keep both her mother-in-law and husband under her control? She was really curious.
Yuan Wanru did not forget Old Lady Lu.
Today, she doesn't intend to end it like this.
Yuan Wanru looked at Madam Lu, and then changed the subject, her expression suddenly turned cold: "If you are really so free, why not ask a teacher to teach you how to read? Maybe after you learn how to read, you can even peek at a few letters from others to relieve your boredom."
"I can help you pay for the teacher's monthly salary. You don't have to be reluctant."
"You!" Mrs. Lu's chest heaved violently, her fingers tightly gripping the edge of the table, her knuckles turning white.
Yuan Wanru continued to attack, each word sounding like a needle soaked in poison: "Letting the concubine in the next room read the private letters of the couple in the Marquis's Mansion, this is a ridiculous thing, there is no other family in the whole capital, and you still want to go out and shout about it, are you afraid that others don't know that you are illiterate and only know how to make trouble?"
She sighed softly and shook her head in a regretful manner, "It's not your fault that you're stupid, but it's your fault that you have to show off everywhere."
These words were like knives, stabbing Madam Lu so hard that she felt dizzy.
She felt the world spinning around her, her feet went weak, and she fell backwards.
"Old lady!" Zhou Fang screamed in fear and rushed forward to support her.
Aunt Shen also hurriedly supported the old lady's other arm.
The two men were in such a panic that they were almost knocked down by the old lady, but they managed to prevent the giant Buddha from falling to the ground.
Wang Min's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly ordered the maid: "Quickly call the doctor! Go quickly!"
