Shi Niang turned around, her chin slightly raised. Although she looked at Wu Niang with a smile, there was a trace of contempt in her eyes: "Sister, why are you so angry? I will tell you later!"

The room was full of smart people, and they all saw that the two Luo sisters were not getting along, so they just stood by and watched.

Shi Niang appeared inexplicably. The eldest wife treated her coldly, and the situation of her younger brother was unclear. At this moment, Shi Niang's provocation made Wu Niang, who was not very calm to begin with, immediately fall into a rage. Her eyes were blazing with fire. She took two steps forward and opened her mouth to scold Shi Niang, but was stopped in time by Shiyi Niang.

"Tenth sister, you must keep your word!" Eleventh Lady tilted her head slightly, smiling playfully, "Otherwise, go back and tell mother that you borrowed our rouge and didn't return it. Let mother scold you!" After saying that, she blinked at Fifth Lady, "Fifth sister, what do you say?"

Shiyi Niang's seemingly soft and weak slender fingers tightly pinched Wu Niang's arm, causing her to feel pain. But it was precisely because of this pain that she quickly woke up. By the time Shiyi Niang said "tell mother", she had calmed down.

Yes, mother has the final say in everything!

Fourth brother is timid, even if he lets Shi Niang out, he will definitely be deceived. Even if mother punishes, it is just house arrest, taking away the monthly allowance, etc. After a long time, Third Aunt will help to plead for mercy, and it will be over. If I make any rude behavior at this moment, not only will I lose face, but also the reputation of the Luo family will be affected, and the little calculation in my heart will never be realized. Let Shi Niang get the benefit for nothing...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Eleventh Lady.

The younger sister who was always humble and tolerant in front of her was now looking at her with worry in her eyes.

You're probably afraid that she'll do something wrong!

Wu Niang suddenly felt a surge of guilt.

I always guard against her, but at this critical moment, she helped me... With the example of the Fourth Aunt, my mother would never let Shi Niang enter the Xu family, so as long as Shiyi Niang remained silent, the one who benefited from the conflict between the snipe and the clam would be Shiyi Niang, the fisherman. But she gave up this opportunity...

The thought flashed through my mind.

But a voice in her heart told her: Maybe Shiyi Niang didn't know the interests involved at all, and chose to help her just because she hated Shi Niang. After all, Shi Niang had bullied her a lot when she lived upstairs from Shiyi Niang...

It's a long story, and Wu Niang's mood was just a moment. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she smiled and said, "Eleventh sister, this is a good idea. If Tenth sister doesn't tell us, we will go back and tell mother... let mother teach her a lesson." As she said this, she laughed, and her cheerful expression was a bit joking, as if she was joking with her sisters.

Eleventh Lady looked at Fifth Lady's expression, which changed from bright to dark, and finally said, "Eleventh Sister, this is a good idea," once again putting the responsibility on herself.

She was very disappointed - Wu Niang had become so selfish that she ignored the overall situation...Hasn't she heard the saying "When the nest is destroyed, no egg will remain intact"?

Others must find it very funny when they see these sisters fighting like this!

His heart moved and he couldn't help but glance at everyone in the room.

Everyone had a different expression.

Qiao Lianfang's eyes flickered, and she looked like she was enjoying a show without fear of the high stage; Miss Tang had a sarcastic look on her face; Miss Lin lowered her head and adjusted the pleats of her crisscross skirt, as if she hadn't noticed the situation here at all; the third Miss Gan family pursed her lips slightly, as if she was about to say something but stopped herself; the seventh Miss Gan family stared at Eleventh Lady with her eyes wide open, her eyes full of amazement!

Eleventh Lady could understand the expressions of the other people, but as for the two young ladies of the Gan family... one seemed to be full of sympathy for their affairs, and the other seemed to be very curious about her!

Eleventh Lady's heart was moved, but she heard Tenth Lady's laughter in her ears: "You are complaining about me to Mother again..."

But before she could finish her words, the Third Lady appeared behind the screen and said, "The Marquis has left - let's continue listening to the opera!"

Naturally, no one could say anything. Led by the Gan sisters who were closest to the screen, they filed out and sat down again.

Eleventh Lady discovered that Tenth Lady moved her brocade stool towards the position of the Seventh Miss Gan, and when the show started, she started whispering with the Seventh Miss Gan.

Wu Niang also discovered it.

She couldn't concentrate on the show anymore, and kept staring at them. However, Mrs. Qiao, who was sitting opposite, saw her.

When the third act was finished and the scene changed, Mrs. Qiao suddenly said, "We are here to listen to the opera, so don't restrict the children. Look at the young ladies of the Luo family and the Gan family. They can't sit still any longer!"

Everyone looked over there at once, especially the eldest wife, whose gaze was as sharp as a knife.

Eleventh Lady sat there gracefully, smiling slightly.

Wu Niang turned around and glared at Shi Niang, only for Shi Niang to smile disapprovingly.

Miss Gan simply stood up, ignoring her sister pulling at her collar, and pouted to the lady, "I want to fly a kite, I don't want to listen to the opera!"

The lady seemed to like those lively and lovely children very much. She smiled indulgently and said, "Go, go!" Then she called a mother named Du next to her and said, "Take Miss Gan's seventh daughter to Kuli and see what kind of kite she likes." After thinking for a while, she scanned the young ladies in the room and said, "Who else wants to fly a kite? Let's go together. This will save us from twisting and turning while we listen to the opera - it's uncomfortable for you and us too."

Everybody laughed.

Shi Niang stood up with a smile and said loudly: "Madam, I want to go too!"

The lady laughed and said, "Okay, okay, okay." She seemed to be very pleased.

Wu Niang was a bit hesitant, but Shiyi Niang smiled and said, "I'd better just watch the show! I wonder if Cai Bojie will agree to marry into Prime Minister Niu's family." Her tone seemed to be full of longing and desire.

She felt that the situation today was very complicated, and the best way was to be calm and stay close to the eldest wife. She would never go wrong if she kept watching under her nose.

The lady listened and nodded, then looked at Miss Lin.

Miss Lin smiled slightly and said, "I want to go see the Second Madam!"

Eleventh Lady saw that Madam Qiao, Madam Tang, Qiao Lianfang and Miss Tang all changed color slightly, and their eyes looked at Miss Lin with uncertainty.

"The last time I came to visit my cousin in Danyang, the Second Madam showed me some favor and gave me some Chengxintang paper." Miss Lin looked calm and elegant as ever under the gazes of several people. "A few days ago, I got a volume of Chunhua Ge Tie from the Second Prince's Mansion and wanted to give it to the Second Madam."

The lady was overjoyed and said "OK" repeatedly, adding: "That letter is very precious. What will you do if you give it to Yizhen? How about this? I have a painting of "Moon over Pine Creek" by Xia Gui." Then she called Wei Zi, "Go get it and give it to Miss Lin."

Miss Lin stood up and declined: "How can I accept your gift?"

The lady smiled and waved her hand: "I am also giving this rouge to the beautiful lady... I know you like painting."

Miss Lin thought for a moment, then bowed to the Madam and thanked her generously: "If I had known this, I should have found some calligraphy to exchange for paintings with the Madam."

Upon hearing this, the lady laughed and said, "That's all I have..." But she swallowed the rest of the words abruptly.

Eleventh Lady felt something was strange and quickly glanced at the Third Lady and the Fifth Lady, only to see that they were both looking at Miss Lin with a smile and showed nothing unusual.

Or maybe I was just being overly concerned...

As she was thinking, she saw Qiao Lianfang slowly stand up and said with a smile: "I will accompany Sister Lin to see the Second Madam! Last time she told me that I could use pine flowers to make cakes. I went back and tried it, but I couldn't make it... It's a good time to ask for advice."

"Good, good, good." The lady looked at her with a smile, "I am happy that you have each found your favorite things to do and feel at home."

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Tang also stood up and said with a smile: "I will go with Mingyuan! Speaking of which, I haven't seen the Second Madam for a long time. I still remember the 'green plum wine' she brewed!"

"I'll go take a look too!" Wu Niang gritted her teeth and suddenly stood up. "I've been thinking about the tea brewed by the Second Madam since I drank it last time. Now I know from what everyone is saying that the Second Madam is not only good at scenting tea, but also brewing wine and is good at calligraphy. Speaking of which, I also like calligraphy. I also want to see the Second Prince's Mansion edition of Chunhua Ge Tie in Miss Lin's hand."

The expression on the eldest wife's face had become a little stiff.

Eleventh Lady wanted to go up and cover her mouth.

Since you thought of visiting a widowed second wife, why didn’t you think of visiting your bedridden sister?

Shi Niang also noticed Wu Niang's eagerness. She raised her lips, took the arm of Miss Gan's Seventh Lady, and asked Miss Gan's Third Lady with a smile: "Sister Gan, are you going to fly a kite with us? Or are you going to see the Second Madam with Sister Lin and the others?"

Miss Gan said hurriedly, "Of course I will go with you to fly the kite. Otherwise, Lan Ting will get into who knows what kind of trouble!"

The seventh young lady of the Gan family stamped her feet and called out "sister" in a coquettish tone, which made everyone laugh.

Eleventh Lady also laughed, but thought to herself, it turns out that the seventh daughter of the Gan family is called "Gan Lanting", I wonder what the third daughter of the Gan family is called?

Madam Gan sighed, looked at the two young ladies of the Gan family and smiled helplessly, "Don't cause trouble!" She then called the maid beside her, "Follow the two young ladies."

The maid hurried forward, bent her knees and replied "yes".

As a result, the people were divided into three groups. The two young ladies of the Gan family and Shi Niang went to fly kites; Qiao Lianfang, the young ladies of the Lin family, the young ladies of the Tang family, and Wu Niang went to see the second wife; Shiyi Niang went alone to watch the show. Watching the show was easy, just sit here, and going to see the second wife was also easy, just ask Yao Huang to bring a few maids to serve well; flying kites was a bit troublesome, because they had to ask Kaiku to pick the kite, and they had to go to the garden to find a suitable place, and they were afraid of falling near the water... There were a lot of trivial matters. The third wife thought about it, and took the maids and daughter-in-law to personally arrange the two young ladies Gan and Shi Niang.

The room became quiet.

The lady looked at the ladies in the various mansions who had remained silent and said, "How about letting Danyang play cards with you?"

The grandmother of the Tang family smiled and said, "Look at what you said. We are not little girls of fourteen or fifteen years old who only know how to play; nor are we young ladies who are ignorant of the world and think that daily necessities are 'vulgar'... I like this. Listening to operas, chatting, and having fun are like gods."

The lady laughed.

Eleventh Lady, however, admired him sincerely.

I’m afraid none of these grandmas who sit there smiling and silent are easy to mess with.

Look at what the Tang family's grandmother said. She not only accused the two young ladies of the Gan family of only knowing how to play, but also accused the young lady of the Lin family of not knowing the ways of the world. It hit both the Gan family and the Lin family... It was really amazing!
