Hearing Yuan Xueyue's words, the old lady was unhappy.
"Where did you come from, young lady? How dare you interfere in the affairs of the Zhong Mansion?" The old maid looked displeased and cast a hateful look at Yuan Xueyue.
It is obvious that an old maid can bully her master, the eldest lady of the Zhong family.
It can be seen how miserable Mrs. Zhong’s situation is!
Yuan Xueyue thought of Madam Zhong's heartfelt confession to her just now, and said in a slightly cold tone,
"You are just a servant, yet you dare to disobey your superiors. Not only do you criticize the Madam harshly, but you also dare to offend Miss Yuan!"
When Miss Yuan was introduced, the old maid was stunned for a moment, her eyes rolled around, wondering who this little ancestor was.
Is she the Miss Yuan who is quite famous in Lucheng recently, the one who is engaged to the prince's palace, and the wife who divorced General Guo from the capital?
"Don't blame me for being nosy, Madam. I'm just following your orders. I hope Miss Yuan and Madam will forgive me."
The old woman reacted and bowed her waist and smiled apologetically.
With Yuan Xueyue's support, Mrs. Zhong straightened her back a lot, especially when Yuan Xueyue said she would accompany her to take a look.
"Well! Then let's go together." The eldest lady took Yuan Xueyue's hand and said,
He turned to look at the old woman and said coldly,
"Mother Yu, I'm not here to enjoy my time alone. My mother-in-law saw that I looked haggard, so she allowed me to leave the banquet and rest for a while to relax."
Mother Yu looked embarrassed. Yuan Xueyue kept staring at her coldly, and it was difficult for her to straighten her back and talk about the eldest lady.
I didn't expect that the eldest lady would get to know people outside the mansion so quickly.
There was obviously no chance. Even if there was a banquet at the Zhong Mansion, the ladies in the mansion would be sent away by the old lady.
Who knew that Miss Yuan would come to the back garden!
Anyone could come, but it had to be the recently famous Miss Yuan!
"Yes, yes, I know I'm wrong. Madam, please go quickly." Mother Yu continued to urge.
"Let's go." Mrs. Zhong took Yuan Xueyue's hand and walked forward.
They came to the backyard of the Zhong Mansion.
Outside the house next to the main room, several maids were guarding the door.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhong ran into the house quickly.
As soon as she appeared, Mrs. Zhong in the room heard the footsteps, turned around and was about to raise her hand to slap her!
But he was stunned by the woman who appeared behind Mrs. Zhong.
"Whose guests are you? Why are you in the backyard of the Zhong Mansion?"
The old lady did not rush to scold the eldest lady, but stared at the extraordinary-looking Yuan Xueyue and questioned her.
Yuan Xueyue bowed slightly and said,
"The eldest daughter of the Yuan family, Yuan Xueyue, pays a visit to Old Madam Zhong."
When she heard that it was someone from Yuan Mansion, the expression and tone of Mrs. Zhong's face that was about to scold Mrs. Zhong disappeared instantly!
"So it's the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, a distinguished guest! It's a pity that you came here. It's not easy to entertain you in the backyard. Someone please serve tea to Miss Yuan." Old Madam Zhong said with a smile.
Mrs. Zhong had already come to the bedside and was looking after her son with the maid.
Old Madam Zhong glanced at the eldest lady, and then thought that there were guests from the Yuan Mansion in the room, so she didn't want to vent her anger on her eldest daughter-in-law and endured it.
Everything went smoothly. Mrs. Zhong comforted her distressed son and smiled with relief.
Old Madam Zhong came over and looked at Yuan Xueyue. Her eyes and face were full of nobility. She was worthy of being a lady who lived in the capital. Now that she came back to Lucheng, she was favored by the prince's palace again!
Why does the Zhong family only look for such low-class ladies?
The old lady turned around and glanced at the eldest lady again, then withdrew her gaze with a slight look of disgust.
Yuan Xueyue saw what she was thinking and smiled slightly.
"I was too busy with the banquet in the front yard of the Zhong Mansion to leave. I was the one who delayed the Madam and came here late. Please trouble the old lady to take care of it."
Mrs. Zhong also smiled and said, "No, it's not a problem for her to take care of my own grandson. As long as my eldest daughter-in-law is comfortable, it doesn't matter if I feel a little wronged."
Does this sound familiar?
Mrs. Zhong was holding her son on the bed. She was stunned for a moment, but chose to lower her eyes and endure it.
Yuan Xueyue said in a joking tone,
"That's too polite. After all, she is your eldest daughter-in-law. As long as you don't mind, she can hold the child and go to the front yard to help."
"It will just make people think that there is no one to serve in the Zhong Mansion, and that the Madam has to work so hard."
With Yuan Xueyue taking the lead, Madam Zhong also spoke up, "As long as you, mother-in-law, don't feel wronged, I can divorce you."
"I'll leave this house to you, Master and Madam. I won't be your eldest daughter-in-law anymore."
Madam Zhong dragged out a few words to refute herself in one breath, which made her eyes look shocked!
"You..." Old Madam Zhong was so angry that she was speechless. If only her eldest daughter-in-law was in the room, she could still scold her a few words.
But there was a stranger in the room, a distinguished guest of Yuan’s mansion!
Mrs. Zhong maintained her reserved attitude and smiled.
"That's too much! How can my eldest daughter-in-law divorce my son?"
"Miss Yuan, please stop encouraging our wife!"
Old Madam Zhong had a strange expression on her face, with a wrinkled skin that showed her narrow-mindedness.
Yuan Xueyue waved her hand and said, "Old Madam, please don't accuse me. I didn't say anything. The eldest lady spoke on her own."
Yuan Xueyue completely distanced herself from the matter.
Mrs. Zhong was also happy about it. With Yuan Xueyue's support and company in the house, her mother-in-law's arrogance was much less!
"Miss Yuan didn't instigate me, it was my own idea!"
"Mother-in-law, I have a clear conscience. I spent nearly four years working hard to have this eldest son!"
"For the first three years, my pregnancy was still uneventful, and my mother-in-law was very critical of me, but I, the daughter-in-law, had no regrets!"
"If you push people too far, I can't handle it!"
"I'm still recovering. My mother-in-law should have found someone to help me with the full moon banquet, but now she's bothering me..."
"Alright, alright!" Old Madam Zhong couldn't stand it any longer.
These things should not be known to outsiders at all.
Old Madam Zhong looked at Yuan Xueyue with an expression as if she was watching a play.
The old lady said to the eldest lady, "Yes, I was a little impatient and harsh with you. This was not for the sake of the heirs of the Zhong family. Now that you have a legitimate eldest son, it is a great joy. Of course, you have to take care of the full moon banquet."
"It will only benefit you, and not harm you. It's also a good opportunity to establish your authority in the Zhong Mansion!"
"The second and third brothers' families are also working hard! It's not that I'm afraid you can't compete with them. I still love the eldest brother and you the most. Don't think too much about other things, my good daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Zhong's face was calm and she said nothing more.
Seeing this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "You guys get busy and entertain Miss Yuan. I'll go to the front yard to help check if the prince has arrived."
The maid and the old lady left.
Two accompanying maids, as well as Mrs. Zhong, Yuan Xueyue and Cuiping were left in the room.
Yuan Xueyue's four guards were still waiting outside the house. When the old lady came out and saw her, they were almost frightened!
Fortunately, the old lady knew to restrain herself, otherwise she would have made a fool of herself in front of Miss Yuan!
"Thank you, Yuan Xueyue."
