While filled with regret, Madam Xu racked her brains for a solution. She was determined to stop it; she absolutely could not allow her precious daughter to marry a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person involved in the martial arts world).
But she's locked up here, how can we stop her?
After much deliberation, Madam Xu decided to consult her son. After all, a well-married daughter could help her son, couldn't she?
Therefore, she sent the maidservant who was guarding her to find Yunfeng and say that she had something to discuss.
Yun Feng has recently been implicated in many things because of what his mother did. Although his wife is now in charge of the Yun family, Yun Cheng still scolds him frequently.
Therefore, upon receiving the news, he hesitated, unsure whether to go see Madam Xu. He feared that if he did, his father would be angry. But if he didn't go, he couldn't get over his conscience. After all, she was his mother, and refusing to go would seem rather heartless.
After much deliberation, he still couldn't make a decision, so he went to his wife, Lin Meijiao, and told her about his mother's visit.
Lin Meijiao was also worried that her husband would be angered by her father-in-law, so she said to him, "Husband, let me go see my mother first. If something is wrong with her, I will let you know."
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Madam." Yun Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Now that his wife was in charge of the Yun household, it was only natural for her to visit her mother-in-law, Madam Xu.
Lin Meijiao quickly arrived at the Buddhist hall, saw Madam Xu, and said with a smile, "Mother, my husband and I are busy with something, so I'll go in his place. If there's anything you need, please tell me, and I'll pass it on to my husband."
Xu was already disappointed that her son hadn't come, and her face darkened instantly upon hearing Lin Meijiao's words. Didn't she know her own son well? He must have sent Lin Meijiao to avoid being implicated.
If it were her son, Xu could have directly brought up her daughter's matter. But since it was her daughter-in-law, she found it difficult to speak.
Even though she had been married into the Yun family for two years and had given birth to their child, in Xu's eyes, her daughter-in-law was still an outsider.
How could she let an outsider know about her daughter's affairs?
If she tells Lin Meijiao, wouldn't that be letting Lin Meijiao laugh at her?
Therefore, this matter must absolutely not be told to Lin Meijiao. However, since Lin Meijiao is now the housekeeper, she can ask her to pay more attention to the front yard.
Thinking of this, she said directly to Lin Meijiao, "Now that you are in charge of the household, you have to manage your subordinates well. Make sure they know what to say and what not to say. By the way, the servants in the front yard still need to be disciplined."
"Mother, rest assured, your daughter-in-law will definitely manage this household well," Lin Meijiao replied with a smile. Although she knew that the other party's visit to Yunfeng was definitely not because of this matter, she didn't dare to ask since Madam Xu didn't say anything.
Therefore, Lin Meijiao did not stay in the Buddhist hall for long before leaving. As soon as she left, Madam Xu lost her temper and threw away the only teapot in the Buddhist hall.
The teapot fell to the ground and shattered. Seeing Xu Shi's outburst, none of the serving maids dared to approach. Only when Xu Shi began striking the wooden fish again did they dare to step forward to clean up.
Ms. Xu felt terrible that she couldn't see her son. After thinking it over, she decided it would be better to ask someone for help.
Otherwise, by the time she leaves, she might be celebrating a wedding.
Thinking of this, she got up and went inside to get a piece of silver, then handed it to the maidservant, saying, "In a little while, you can deliver a letter for me. If the letter is delivered, this silver is yours."
