Chapter 1090 The Yao Family's Disgust
Before the Yao siblings could react, Uncle Feng had already gone inside.
Madam Yao was talking to her daughter-in-law, Madam Kang, when she heard what Uncle Feng said and frowned.
At first, they didn't react much to who was visiting Yao Tianqin. After all, ever since Yao Tianqin became the Vice Minister of Works, people had been coming to his door one after another. To avoid trouble, they usually made up excuses not to see guests.
When Uncle Feng mentioned that the other party was carrying gifts, they assumed it was the same as before and therefore showed no surprise.
On the contrary, he showed a look of disgust when he heard the Yao siblings swaggering around at the door.
It wasn't until Uncle Feng mentioned that the girl had encountered Lady Jing, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who was passing by, and was taken away by Lady Jing, that Madam Yao and her mother-in-law were stunned.
"You mean, that girl knows Madam Jing?"
"yes."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a glance. After thinking for a moment, Madam Yao asked him to describe the girl's appearance, as they might know her.
However, it was Yingxi who came to see Uncle Feng at that time. Shu Yu was standing on the steps below, which was a bit far away. In addition, the Yao siblings came out quickly, blocking most of the view. Therefore, Uncle Feng did not get a very good look at Shu Yu.
All he could describe was Yingxi's appearance.
However, Madam Yao and Madam Kang did not recognize Yingxi, so they could only frown and shake their heads.
After a while, Madam Yao said to Uncle Feng, "Keep a close eye on things. If that girl comes again, come and let us know."
Unfortunately, Uncle Feng didn't even have time to ask who the other party was.
Feng Bo nodded and left. As soon as he left, Madam Kang couldn't hold back any longer.
"Do these brother and sister really think this place is their own home? They are guests themselves, what right do they have to act like they're in charge? We can just kick out our guests like that, and if we offend someone because of it, it will be our fault."
She frowned deeply. "Mother, when are they leaving?"
Madam Yao also wanted them to leave immediately, but she was too embarrassed to say it directly. Her husband, Old Yao, had only recently been promoted, and if he were to cause a scene by kicking his own cousin out of the house, wouldn't people use it against him and gossip about him behind his back?
She could only rub her temples and say to Kang, "Wait a little longer."
Madam Kang sighed and brought up the girl again, "Mother, why don't we have someone wait outside the Jing residence? If that girl comes out, we can see who she is and what she wants with Father."
Madam Yao thought it over and agreed, so she found an old woman to go over there.
Shu Yu, who was the focus of their attention, had already returned to the Jing residence with Madam Chang.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old came over and called out softly, "Mother."
Madam Chang smiled and introduced her, "This is Miss Lu, she came from Dong'an Prefecture."
Then, pointing to the girl, he said to Shu Yu, "This is my eldest daughter, Zhishan, Sister Shan."
After the two sides met, Jing Zhishan said to Madam Chang, "Mother, please keep Sister Lu company for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to tell her that Sister Lu will be staying for lunch and we can't neglect her."
Mrs. Chang smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead."
Jing Zhishan gave a slight curtsy and then left.
Shu Yu observed the mother and daughter's interaction and found it to be quite harmonious.
Lady Chang was Lord Jing's second wife, and they had been married for only seven years. This young lady was clearly born to his first wife. However, she and Lady Chang had a good relationship, and their interactions showed affection.
