When Yang Zhao arrived, he just happened to hear this.
She stood outside with a curled lip, and did not enter the house until Aunt Liu came out to invite her in. She was covered in cold air and bowed to Old Madam Shen and Shen Sulan, who was glaring at her with red eyes.
"Madam, aunt."
"Yang Zhao, are you here to laugh at me?" Shen Sulan said angrily.
Yang Zhao raised his eyes, looked at the pale and haggard Shen Sulan, and asked, "What do you mean by this, aunt?"
Her beautiful eyes were clear, as if she really didn't know why she had angered Shen Sulan, but in an instant she revealed a hint of realization.
"Could it be the matter of taking a concubine that Auntie just mentioned?"
"Please forgive me, Auntie. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you. I just happened to come here to pay my respects to the old lady and overheard something at the door."
Yang Zhao then sighed and said, "Aunt, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it. Although I'm from a military family and can't compare to the elegant scholars, I also know that there are three kinds of unfilial behavior in this world, and the worst is to have no descendants."
"A few days ago, Auntie advised Ah Zhao that as women, we should put our husbands first. As long as our husbands are happy, we will naturally be happy too. My husband just wants to take a concubine, so why is Auntie so upset?"
"Aunt, you must take care of yourself!"
“You, you…”
Shen Sulan almost vomited blood in anger.
If Old Madam Shen hadn't secretly held her hand down, she would have rushed over and slapped her in anger.
Old Madam Shen's eyes darkened slightly.
Is Yang Zhao openly mocking his aunt?
"A Zhao, you..."
Madam Shen lowered her voice and was about to scold.
Yang Zhao, however, acted as if she hadn't noticed. As soon as Old Man Shen started to speak, she immediately spoke, "Madam, Ah Zhao came here not only to greet you, but also because she has good news...Madam, was there anything you wanted to say just now?"
Yang Zhao paused.
When Mrs. Shen heard the word "good news," she suddenly thought of something and her anger subsided as she hurriedly asked, "It's okay, Ah Zhao, what was the good news you just mentioned?"
Yang Zhao opened his mouth, but after looking at Shen Sulan, he stopped talking.
When Shen Sulan saw this, she immediately became displeased. "What can't you say in front of me? What? Do you think I'm a thief? Mother, look at her!"
Madam Shen said, "A Zhao, if you have something to say, just tell me. There's no need to be shy."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhao said obediently, "The matter I told the old lady yesterday has already come to fruition..."
Yang Zhao explained in detail.
Shen Sulan's eyes flickered when she heard this, and her face was filled with excitement. She no longer had the ferocious look on her face that showed she wanted to kill Yang Zhao.
Seeing Yang Zhao finish his words, before Old Lady Shen could even speak, she asked, "So, as long as we secretly take care of those people, we can be promoted to the Ministry of Personnel or to a higher rank?"
Old Madam Shen frowned, but said nothing.
Yang Zhao glanced at Madam Shen and shook his head slightly, saying, "It's hard to say. After all, there are only a few vacant official positions, and there are many people who want to climb up. It's not certain that everything will be done just by arranging it."
"Madam, this is what happened. I just came to tell you something."
"good."
Old Madam Shen was very happy with Yang Zhao's cleverness and nodded with a smile.
When it comes to something as important as seeking an official position, one must definitely prioritize one's own descendants, sons-in-law, and so on.
"A Zhao, then you should go back first. The weather is very cold now. You don't have to come to visit me morning and evening these days. The most important thing is to take care of your health first." Old Lady Shen said kindly.
A gloomy look flashed in Shen Sulan’s eyes.
Don't think that she didn't see the way Yang Zhao secretly looked at her mother, and her mother was obviously trying to avoid her. As expected, her mother would be partial when it came to brothers and nephews.
Shen Sulan was full of resentment and anger, but she quickly concealed it and just pretended to be angry and said, "Mom, just favor her!"
"She is my good granddaughter-in-law, so naturally I have to be partial to her."
"mother!"
"Okay, stop being unreasonable..."
Yang Zhao didn't listen any further. She bowed and turned to leave. When she walked out of the house, she heard the old lady pretending to scold Shen Sulan. She couldn't help but let out an imperceptible sneer from the corner of her mouth.
Now they all have their own agenda, and I wonder what they'll do next...
Really looking forward to it!!
"Madam, do you want to go back?" Dong Shuang asked as they walked out of Muzhaiyuan.
But Yang Zhao paused at this moment.
She stood under the eaves, looking calmly at the figure outside the yard who was punished to kneel in the snow...
