Since Songyi was able to remove the ghost fetus from Shuer's body, he must also be able to save her cousins.
Moreover, from her inner voice, the old lady also felt that she had no intention of gloating over the misfortunes of those cousins, but was full of pity, so she believed that Songyi would definitely be willing to lend a helping hand.
The old lady decisively said, "Since my mother-in-law has recovered, I will summon my three granddaughters to come. After all, I haven't seen them for some time."
Hao Ren seemed hesitant.
Liao once said that before the turning of the longevity ceremony was successful, it would be best to let those girls accompany their mother day and night.
However, the old lady’s expression suddenly became serious: “How come those granddaughters dare to show filial piety only in front of their grandmother, but are unwilling to visit their maternal grandmother?
Jiang Shu also hurriedly ordered the maid, "Cuiying, go and invite the three young ladies to the main courtyard for dinner immediately. My mother-in-law has many maids and servants around her, and they have been pampered since childhood, so it is difficult for them to provide any substantial help."
[Alas, as the saying goes, 'never touch water with women'. Those poor cousins, seemingly the daughters of the Duke's family, were actually often treated as maids by the vicious woman Xu. They were even asked to do heavy work such as taking out the excrement and urine. Xu was merciless to them and would beat and scold them at any time. In Xu's eyes, they were not even as good as a maid.
Those cousins were kindhearted. They understood the strained relationship between their aunt and the Xu family, and they were also well aware of the immense pressure their mother endured to give birth to a child. Therefore, they endured all the grievances silently and never confided in their aunt.
Xu was the old lady of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. Jiang Songyi had long known that she was not a good person.
Jiang Songyi couldn't help but feel sympathy for those cousins.
Jiang Shu was truly derelict in her duty as a mother. She didn't know how to properly care for her own daughters, but instead chose to pamper an ungrateful, ungrateful person like Jiang Yuyao. She truly deserved the tragic fate she suffered in her previous life.
Jiang Shu heard Jiang Songyi's inner thoughts, and dug her nails deep into her flesh, trying hard to hold back her tears.
Song Yi was right, she really wasn't fit to be a mother!
Jiang Shu stood up and said, "Since my mother-in-law won't let me go, I will go visit my daughters myself."
Jiang Shu was determined to visit her daughter in person. Hao Ren could only look at the old lady for help, "Mother-in-law, Shu'er's pregnancy was difficult. I don't want her to be overworked. Please give her some advice."
However, the old lady slowly stood up with the help of her cane, "Then I will accompany Shu'er. By the way, I will also go and say hello to my mother-in-law whom I haven't seen for a long time."
Jiang Songyi felt that this meal was full of incidents. The disputes in the Duke of Protector's Mansion were so complicated that she couldn't help but feel bored.
The pine trees in the courtyard are lush and green. The spring sunshine shines through the branches, and the pine needles sparkle in the sunlight.
It should have been a lively and spring-like scene, but Jiang Songyi sensed a gloomy and dead air hanging over the yard.
The maid watched Jiang Shu and her family enter the mansion and was about to report it when she suddenly heard the pleasant sound of broken ceramics in the house, followed by a sharp rebuke from an old woman.
"You useless girl, you prodigal daughter! The hot water you sent me is scalding hot. Are you trying to burn me?"
"Get over there and kneel down! You're just like your useless mother, you're a complete waste!"
Hao Ren had sharp ears and recognized that it was his mother's voice. He couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have asked the maid to notify her in advance.
He noticed that his mother-in-law and wife's faces had turned gloomy. Just as he was about to explain, Jiang Shu and the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion had already stepped into Xu's room impatiently.
"Snap!" A crisp and loud sound.
As soon as Jiang Shu stepped over the threshold, she witnessed Xu slapping her little daughter in the face.
Her other two daughters also knelt timidly on the ground. Although they were the daughters of the Duke's Mansion, they had no noble demeanor at this moment. Instead, they looked more like humble maids!
Jiang Shu's eyes were filled with tears. She quickly stepped forward and hugged her daughter in her arms, "Qing Mo, my daughter!"
Hao Qingmo was in her prime, with a pretty face, but at this moment, there was a clear mark of a slap on half of her cheek, making her look pitiful.
As soon as the daughter saw her mother, she leaned on her shoulder and sobbed, "Mom."
Hao Qingzhi and Hao Qinghe, who were kneeling beside them, were of similar age to Hao Qingmo. When Jiang Shu married into the Marquis's Mansion, she gave birth to three daughters in just four years. The three daughters were almost the same age, and the oldest was only seventeen years old.
Xu was startled by Jiang Shu's sudden intrusion and angrily accused her, "Jiang Shu, look at the daughters you've raised. They're all so rude and disrespectful. As a mother, haven't you taught them well? Breaking into an elder's room without notifying the maid, is this your upbringing?"
Jiang Shu stood up, protecting her daughters and shielding them behind her. She stared at Xu with a sharp gaze, "Mother, I am the daughter of a marquis, and my daughters are also the daughters of a distinguished duke. They have lived a life of luxury since childhood. I have never taught them how to serve others like maids."
Xu was frightened by Jiang Shu's sharp eyes. Seeing her son was also present, she immediately changed into a mournful expression. "Oh, my son, what kind of evil woman did you marry? We have been married for twenty years and you can't even give birth to a son. Our Duke's Mansion is about to be extinct. I just said a few words to her, and she contradicted me like this. And these so-called rich girls, I, an old woman lying in bed, can't even command them. It seems that I will have to serve them myself tomorrow."
Facing the argument between his mother and wife, Hao Ren looked embarrassed and could only persuade them, "Mom, please calm down."
