Chapter 1048: Fanning the Flames
Mrs. Zhang felt that her son and daughter-in-law were exaggerating a bit, and waved her hands impatiently, "Who are you kidding?
It would be fine if I were just an ordinary woman, but I do know some things.
Go away! You are only boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige."
Li Mengdie pointed at Zhang Yiru and said, "Listen, listen to what our mother is saying.
It's obvious that she didn't listen to what we said at all!
Head, if you still care about our Zhang family, you should tell her what we have found out.
So that she won’t ruin our plans again.”
Zhang Yiru's face was stern. "Mom, can't you just shut up and listen to us?"
Old Madam Zhang had a problem. She never took anyone's words to heart, but she was still somewhat patient with her own son.
"Then you go ahead, I'm listening!"
"Mother, my wife and I asked someone to find out that the Second Master of the Shen family declined the official position offered to him by the current emperor.
The Shen family followed the Second Master's decision and decided to take shelter in the farm below."
Madam Zhang's expression changed instantly after hearing what Zhang Yiru said, "Where did you hear this from?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
If the Shen family hadn't suffered a disaster, how could they have agreed to the marriage with our family?"
Li Mengdie sneered, "Mom, after all, you really don't look down on our family from the bottom of your heart!
But my son happened to be very capable and was favored by the Shen family. Don’t you think this is infuriating?
But such a good thing was ruined because of you, because of your momentary verbal spree."
Madam Zhang snorted, "Li Mengdie, stop lying.
It's probably because the Shen family never thought highly of your son from the beginning, and now they're just making up an excuse."
Li Mengdie stamped her feet in anger, "Husband, look at your mother, isn't my son her grandson?
How could she do this?
Zhang Yiru was also extremely disappointed with her mother, "Mom, do you know what the Shen family said?
People said that they originally thought you had a good relationship with Old Madam Shen, so they considered our son.
But you just said that.
It was clearly Madam Shen who helped us. If it weren't for her, would we have been able to sell our farm so quickly?
Now you are biting back at them. Do you think it's fun?
The Shen family has everything, so why would they want to plot against your farm?
As for Madam Ye, I have found out that she also has several shops in our Qingfeng City, and all of them are doing a booming business.
This doesn't include the shops in other places, they don't lack our money.
When they bought it, they really wanted to help us."
Madam Zhang refused to admit her mistake, "What you said is all reasonable, I can't argue with you.
I'm not just looking at it. Everyone else has a place to hide, but I don't. Am I worried?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? Don't you still have two small farms?"
"Can those two manors compare with the Zhang family's manor?"
Li Mengdie listened to her mother-in-law's words and thought she was crazy. She pulled Zhang Yiru aside and said, "Husband, stop arguing with our mother here.
Don’t you think our mother is a little abnormal?”
After Li Mengdie reminded him, the more Zhang Yiru pondered, the more he felt that this was the case. "Madam, what should we do?"
Li Mengdie looked at Madam Zhang and said, "Why not invite the doctor over and give her some medicine first?"
“That’s all we can do.
However, my mother really can't go out anymore.
If she goes out and talks nonsense again, our son might not be able to get married.”
"I'll arrange for someone to call a doctor right away."
Li Mengdie gave some more instructions to the servants who served Old Madam Zhang, meaning that if she was allowed to go out again, they would have to give up their legs.
Once the master has spoken, the servants dare not disobey.
After the doctor arrived, he prescribed a few more medicines. Chunhong complained while boiling the medicine, "The old lady brought this upon herself. If she hadn't said those things to Madam Ye, she wouldn't be able to even leave the house now!
Really…”
Chun Xing scolded Chun Hong, "Don't talk nonsense, who dares to stop the old lady from going out when she's in the Zhang family?
She is not in good health and cannot go out."
Chunhong was so scared that she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes..."
Li Mengdie listened to the nanny's nagging and hated her mother-in-law more and more. "Does she really say that? Will she ask her son to divorce me?"
"My dear wife, I have raised you since you were a child. When have I ever lied to you?
I learned this from the waiter in the teahouse."
"This damn old woman, Mammy, tell me, since I married into her family, when have I ever done anything to let her down?
But she always dislikes me.
You said that the sisters of my age have already become the wives of the families.
But this old woman, even at her age, refuses to give up power and has turned a good family into what it is now.
No, this matter can't end like this.
She doesn't let me live well, and I don't let her live well either.
Mammy, can you help me check again? Why did that old woman go to see Madam Ye for no reason? "
"My dear lady, I will investigate this matter without your instruction.
Our old lady is still thinking about the housekeeper's power.
I don't know who she listened to, but she heard that the Shen family is in trouble now and Madam Ye has no one to rely on.
When others said this, they might have been talking casually, but the old lady believed it.
So she went to find Mrs. Ye.
I heard from the waiter at the teahouse that Madam Ye had her tea splashed on her."
"really?"
"The young man said it himself, the old lady asked for too much, and asked Madam Ye to return the farm she had sold.
And you're even bringing up the young lady's father-in-law!"
"Did she really do that?"
"Um!"
Li Mengdie twisted the handkerchief in her hand again and again. The child was her last line of defense.
She could live a bad life, but the children couldn't.
"Mammy, with the old lady's temper, if she keeps causing trouble like this, won't the Zhang family's life become even more difficult in the future?"
"Ma'am, what you are thinking about is what worries me.
When someone asked for the farm back after selling it, she shamelessly threatened to file a lawsuit against the authorities.
Think about it carefully, if this word gets out.
I’m afraid no one will have any dealings with our Zhang family in the future.”
Li Mengdie raised her head and looked at the nanny beside her worriedly, "Mammy, what should we do about this?
I......"
“Madam, the young lady has married well, and we can’t hold her back.
The young master is about to discuss marriage again. Fortunately, the Shen family is kind and righteous and did not spread the old lady's words. If it were to get out, the young master's marriage would probably be..."
