Chapter 2409 What are your plans?
"Miss, what do you think our young lady should do? What should she do? She has no blood brothers, and her biological aunt is trying to stop her. Who can save our young lady? Who can save her?"
"We said we were looking for the eldest young lady, but she's far away in Yizhou. For the past two years, all the letters we sent in had to pass through the old lady's hands before they could reach her. Not to mention the letters she wanted to send out, even the gift lists for each family during the holidays never reached her... Eldest young lady, can you save our young lady? Can you save her? Or send her back like the second lady did? If, if... please let our young lady have a few days of peace and quiet. At least let her be more respectable, more respectable..."
Mrs. Tang took a long time to calm herself down and asked, "Does the Fourth Lady know about this?"
The reason why Wang Ruile came to Beijing to seek medical treatment was because of the fourth brother's strong suggestion.
Xia He hugged Madam Tang's legs and cried, "I don't know if the Fourth Young Lady knows, but our Young Lady hasn't mentioned this to anyone since the Second Young Lady."
Mrs. Tang understood immediately. She thought for a while, then sneered and asked, "How many of the people you brought this time are part of the dowry, and how many are from the Ma family?"
"Apart from these two servants, there is no one else to bring with her as a dowry. The previous dowries have either been sent to the farm or sold off."
It was because the group of people outside were gone that they were completely trapped in the backyard and could not move no matter how much money they spent.
At first, the master and servant acted recklessly, using money to bribe many servants and even thinking of having them pass on messages. However, the letters ended up in the hands of those people, and they lost one person after another...
In the end, they had become very cautious, carefully spreading goodwill in the Ma family's backyard, thinking that one day it would be useful. As a result, when they thought they were safe, their outstretched hands were chopped off again...
They lost two aunts, three older maids, and four younger maids. Now there are only two of them left with the young lady. How could they dare to move?
Even the young ladies are reluctant to speak or take action easily. Sometimes when they are needed outside, they always go and come back with a smile on their faces. They don't say anything unnecessary and don't do anything unnecessary.
After three or four years, the other party finally relaxed a little, but such things happened before. Sometimes they were just bored and deliberately relaxed their vigilance to let them do what they wanted so that they could catch them.
In the past, they didn't understand, so they were always reckless, thinking they could really fool them, thinking those people were really kind-hearted, thinking they could really bribe people, and because of this, they lost one person after another...
From then on, they knew that for people in this world, it is not enough to just have a good heart or enough money.
But this is the Tang Mansion, and this is the eldest lady, the eldest lady, who was impetuous even when she was a girl, who dared to look at men and choose husbands over the wall, and who could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. So Xia He weighed the pros and cons again and again in her heart, and finally made the move.
Madam Tang asked about the number of people who came with them this time, how many people had come to the Tang Mansion, and whether there were any other people outside the Tang Mansion...
Xia He didn't know whether they had any other arrangements outside the Tang Mansion, but she knew how many people there were in their group.
"There are three others who didn't come into the mansion with us. They were all errand boys from the outer courtyard. They were gone when we entered the mansion, and we don't know when they disappeared." Xia He finally stopped crying, but she was still shaking from time to time because she had been crying so hard. But her words were very clear. "But every day Aunt Ma would go forward to give some instructions, or ask people to buy some fruits and dried fruits, or snacks and the like. Anyway, she had various reasons to go forward."
Mrs. Tang hadn't expected the Ma family to be so thoughtful. She silently gathered her strength before waving her hand and saying, "Take them downstairs to freshen up and get rid of the redness and swelling in their eyes. Find them two sets of clothes that match the ones they're wearing. Don't let anyone over there notice anything."
Madam Tang gritted her teeth and said, "Curing the disease is the most important thing now. I'll deal with them all together after I've sorted things out."
Xia He and Xia Cao were overjoyed and kowtowed to Mrs. Tang together.
Mrs. Tang was furious and ran to find Mr. Tang.
Lord Tang listened to her angry chatter and then served her some tea.
Madam Tang drank it all in one gulp and asked Master Tang with anger in her eyes, "What do you think we should do about this beast?"
She had already asked about everything that had happened over the years. The first time Ma Hongzhong hit her, it was not serious. At that time, Ma's mother beat Ma Hongzhong and apologized. Because Wang Ruile was only slapped, she endured it.
But the second time, Ma Hongzhong lost control, so Wang Ruile went back to her parents' home.
However, she did not expect that Madam Wang Er would send her back directly, causing her to lose all face in front of the Ma family. From then on, no one in the Ma family, from Ma's mother Ma Hongzhong to the maids and servants, took her seriously.
So Mrs. Tang not only hated the Ma family, but also hated her second aunt.
For the first time, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but say something extremely harsh in front of her husband. "After all, he's a bastard's child, not worthy of being on the stage. Cui didn't teach him well either. The aunt who returned home didn't even bother to help, but actually had the audacity to send him back."
Lord Tang frowned, "This doesn't seem like Cui's family education. Is there some grudge between them?"
Mrs. Tang was stunned for a moment and then frowned, "Because of my fifth brother's adoption?"
Wang Ruile is from the second branch of the family. The last time the direct branch of the family was divided into branches was when her grandfather got married, so they had the same great-grandfather, and their grandfathers were cousins. By her father's generation, the family had been divided for three generations.
They all lived in several alleys in front and behind. When the corner gate was closed, they lived in a large house with its own entrance and courtyard. When the corner gate was opened, it was a dock connected to a piece of land. Mrs. Tang grew up there before she was twelve years old. When she was young, she was the leader of the children and ran around with her brothers and sisters.
Wang Ruile's father had two brothers, but they did not separate the family. He was the second child in the family, the fifth child in the direct branch, and the twelfth child in the entire family.
But they basically only considered the direct branch, so they all called him Wang Wu, and he had no sons.
No, now there is one. Wang Er adopted his youngest legitimate son to Wang Wu. Both father and son were ranked fifth, but they both had bad luck, because Wang Wulang died less than two years after he was adopted, before he had the chance to take over the things from Wang Wu.
Mr. Tang continued, "How do you want to resolve this matter? Should you continue living with the Ma family, or should you divorce and go home? If you divorce, what will happen to the child?"
"Now that you've laid out the results you want, we can determine the path forward. Now's not the time to be angry. I don't think my sister-in-law has any good ideas either. Why don't you ask her what she thinks and then let her get the job done?"
See you at 9pm
