Upon hearing this, Madam He's face darkened.
This eldest daughter-in-law, if she is not punished for a while, will return to her old ways and have no idea of her own limitations.
Madam He was about to speak.
But Jiang Qingyao laughed and said, "Sister-in-law is right. When the Marquis comes back, I will go and tell him that Sister-in-law said that you can't be too clingy and should focus on your career. Tell the Marquis to stop clinging to me all the time."
After she finished speaking, the whole hall fell silent.
Li looked embarrassed.
How dare she say it so confidently?
Isn't it Jiang Qingyao who clings to the third brother, but the third brother who clings to her? !
Li was a little flustered. "That's not necessary, Third Sister-in-law. I, I was just talking."
Tao was surprised and sighed, "My third brother and his wife are really in love."
Old Madam He smiled kindly. As long as Jiang Qingyao didn't suffer any loss, it was fine. This child was really smart.
Jiang Qingyao murmured quietly, "Big brother is away from home every day, and there seems to be no progress in his career... Big brother doesn't seem to be clingy, I'm afraid Big sister-in-law can't understand the troubles of being pestered by her husband."
"Ah," she sighed, "this sweet misery."
"I was the only one who experienced it all."
Li couldn't hold it in any longer, her face fell, and her heart felt cold as if the air was leaking out.
I wanted to rush out of the door.
Damn it!
She shouldn't have provoked Jiang Qingyao.
Now she can't get any good thing at all, and she looks like a widow who is loved and cared for by no one!
Li opened and closed her mouth again, her mouth dry and her heart choked.
Tao, who was standing by, was glad that she didn't go to Jiang Qingyao's trouble by talking so rudely, otherwise she would be the one being ridiculed today.
"A mouthful of bun can't stop you from talking?" Old Madam He glared at Li unhappily.
After breakfast, Li caught up with Jiang Qingyao and said, "Mother and Third Brother both like you so much, why doesn't Third Sister-in-law take over the power of the household from Second Sister-in-law?"
The head of the household not only has to manage all the affairs of the mansion, big and small, and check various accounts, but also has to know how to win people's hearts, which is an extremely challenging task.
If the head of the household is not capable enough, many things in the entire mansion will be in chaos.
Therefore, being in charge of the household is a symbol of the ability and competence of the clan women, and also represents their status and recognition by their husband's family.
What woman doesn't want to be in charge of the household?
Anyway, Li was very greedy. Since the first wife had no power to manage the family, the second wife had no chance either. It would just fall to the third wife, so that the second wife would not be able to make any money.
Li is here to flatter Jiang Qingyao.
She saw that Jiang Qingyao had been married for some time, but the Marquis of Anguo had not yet handed over the power of the household to her, so he didn't seem to care much about her.
Jiang Qingyao could hear that Li wanted to instigate her to seize the leadership of Tao's family.
If that happens, the second wife will inevitably hate her and try to trip her up behind her back.
Jiang Qingyao turned around and said bluntly, "Why should I be in charge of the family? I'm not like my eldest sister-in-law, who needs to rely on being in charge of the family to highlight my status and ability in the eyes of others."
"Who in this mansion doesn't respect and honor me?"
"Who out there wouldn't call me Princess Qixia, or the wife of the Marquis of Anguo?"
"The Third House doesn't need to take any advantage of the government affairs."
"Besides, being a housekeeper is so tiring, I'm afraid the Marquis wouldn't want me to be tired too."
Jiang Qingyao's tone was lazy when she said the last sentence.
Li inexplicably sensed the meaning of "pampering".
Yes, Marquis Anguo was reluctant to let Jiang Qingyao suffer any hardship. Her husband never cared whether it was hard for her to manage the family, as if everything she did was natural.
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
Li was very angry.
Not only did he fail to instigate the relationship, but he also showed off his affection for nothing.
Li returned to the room and smashed several cups and bowls.
Afternoon, Songjiantang.
Madam He called Li over and said in a cold tone, "My eldest daughter-in-law, you are still confused and can't see anything clearly even at this age."
Li was shocked, "What do you mean, mother?"
Madam He: "Linghui's future marriage still depends on Qingyao. If you offend Qingyao, you will definitely not gain any benefit."
"You are not as smart as the second son's wife in this regard."
Mrs. Li's face was stiff. Jiang Qingyao was only the same age as her daughter, a little girl, but she had to be wary of her at every turn?
Madam He lowered her eyes to look at her. Seeing that she seemed unconvinced, she continued, "You should have understood these days that embarrassing Qingyao is even more intolerable to Qi Yun than challenging his authority. Qi Yun will not tolerate you making Qingyao unhappy."
"If any word of this gets to Qi Yun, you'll be in big trouble."
Madam He's eyes grew colder and colder. "If one day the eldest brother really sends you back to your parents' home, I won't be able to do anything about it. I can't make the decision."
"In this family, Qi Yun has the final say."
Li's eyes widened in shock.
At this time, she finally realized that as soon as Marquis Anguo left, she would go looking for trouble with Jiang Qingyao, and it would be bad when he came back.
At this moment, her expression was tense and her heart was tense.
I was so panicked, so panicky that I couldn't describe it.
"Mother, mother taught me."
"I understand, daughter-in-law. I will change it right away!"
In the study.
Jiang Qingyao occupied He Zheng's desk, flipping through the medical manuscripts left by her mother while studying prescriptions and preparing medicinal materials.
Zhitao whispered: "The eldest lady is here."
Jiang Qingyao didn't even raise her head, "Come in."
Li came over with something smiling, "Third sister-in-law, I made some soup, try it while it's hot."
Did she suddenly change her personality? Jiang Qingyao thought.
Maybe Madam He said something to her.
