After the recognition, we started to have lunch.
After dinner, the old couple said they were tired and went back to their room for a nap.
"Qingqing, Mom will take you upstairs."
As soon as the two old people left, Shen Yimo was even more lazy to pay attention to those people. He took his daughter's hand affectionately and took Mu Qing upstairs.
As soon as the mother and daughter left, the second and third wives also took their children back to their own home.
As soon as they entered the house, the third wife said to her daughter, "Min'er, bring the two jewelry boxes your grandmother gave you to me and show them to me."
The daughter was holding two jewelry boxes, relaxedly, and the third wife had a bad feeling.
What the old lady gave to her daughter were probably, really, two jewelry boxes.
Lan Min was still young after all, and didn't think so much. She only felt the joy of successfully winning favor and was showing off.
Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had heard people say that her eldest cousin, whom she had never met, looked very much like her grandmother. Before she disappeared, she was the apple of her grandmother's eye and the apple of her eye.
In the past, Lan Min didn’t care when her eldest cousin was not around.
It was not until her eldest cousin was found that Lan Min realized that her status as the most favored daughter of the Lan family was no longer secure with her grandmother.
Also, when she goes to banquets with the adults in the future, she, the youngest daughter of the Lan family, will most likely be overshadowed by her eldest cousin.
My eldest cousin is my eldest uncle’s biological daughter, and my eldest uncle is the head of the family, so she is inherently more noble than her, the daughter of the third wife.
Don’t think that Lan Min is innocent just because she is only ten years old. Living in a big family like the Lan family, children will have their own thoughts and ideas.
"Mom, here you go. From now on, whenever grandma gives something to my eldest cousin, I will ask for the same thing from grandma. I can't let my eldest cousin outdo me. I still want to be grandma's most beloved and favorite granddaughter."
Lan Min smiled and gave the two jewelry boxes to her mother as if she was being sensible.
The third wife took the jewelry box and opened it. It was divided into several layers, but each layer was empty.
Not even a bracelet, let alone expensive jewelry.
She knew it was like this.
"Hey, why is it empty?"
Lan Min was stunned.
She clearly asked for the same jewelry box as her eldest cousin.
The third wife opened the second jewelry box, and it was also empty.
She threw the two jewelry boxes to the ground, reached out and tapped her daughter's forehead, scolding her, "Why don't you just say you want two boxes of jewelry? You want whatever is in your eldest cousin's jewelry box. Just say two jewelry boxes, and of course your grandma will give you two empty boxes."
Lan Min lowered her head in grievance.
She didn't think that much.
She thought that what her grandmother gave her was the same as what her eldest cousin gave her.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and Lan Min began to cry.
How could grandma do this to her?
Does grandma dislike her anymore as soon as the eldest cousin comes back?
She also didn't like her eldest cousin, and she decided to go against her in the future.
Seeing her daughter crying out of grievance, the Third Wife stopped poking her daughter's forehead, hugged her in her arms, and comforted her softly, "Okay, Mom doesn't blame you anymore, Min'er. Don't let your grandma fool you like you did today."
Then, she cursed again: "There is not a single good person in the Lan family. I was really blind to marry into their family."
Lan Zhiping: You are not blind now, you can leave and get a divorce. Why don’t you agree?
Third Wife: ...
The third wife blamed her daughter for being stupid and was angry at her mother-in-law for being partial.
The second wife over there was also talking about her daughter, Lan Zhi, who was two months away from her eighteenth birthday.
"Azhi, look at how much Lan Min feels threatened. As soon as Lan Qing came back, she knew how to compete for favor. But you're like a fool, not even trying. Your grandmother's private vault is filled with jewelry. Her family was a wealthy and aristocratic family in the old days. Her dowry was filled with jewelry from that era, which is much more valuable and authentic than the jewelry you buy now."
"You'll be eighteen in two months, an adult. As long as you ask, your grandma won't refuse you."
In the eyes of the Second Wife, Lan Min was only ten years old. If she wanted two boxes of jewelry, wouldn't that just be given to the Third Wife's family?
The third brother is now getting a divorce. If he really gets divorced, his family will take the jewels and leave.
What a valuable piece of jewelry.
Wearing it makes you look expensive, and then selling it can also make a lot of money.
It's worth it anyway.
Lan Zhi sat down on the sofa and said calmly, "Mom, didn't you see how easily Lan Min carried the two jewelry boxes? Big sister had a hard time carrying the two jewelry boxes grandma gave her."
The second wife was stunned for a moment, then she realized what was happening and smiled. She couldn't believe it and said, "Your grandmother didn't really give me two empty jewelry boxes, did she?"
"Lan Min asked for two jewelry boxes, and grandma didn't make a mistake in giving them to her."
The second wife choked.
Then he laughed even more happily.
"Come on, Ah Zhi, let's go to your Third Aunt's house now and see how ugly her Third Aunt's face is."
As she said this, she was about to pull her daughter up.
Lan Zhi shook off her mother's hand and stood up, but she turned and walked upstairs, saying as she walked, "Mom, my aunt and sister are back. I don't think Third Aunt will divorce Third Uncle easily. You should continue to work with Third Aunt and don't do anything to take advantage of others' misfortunes."
"You can't win over Auntie. You and Third Auntie used to mock her too much and did things that were too extreme. Even if you were willing to lower your face and try to please Auntie, she wouldn't pay any attention to you. The only person you can form an alliance with is Third Auntie."
Lan Zhi stopped at the stairs and turned to her mother, saying, "My eldest sister is a bitch. Mom, be careful when you face her in the future. Don't let her trick you. And my eldest brother-in-law... he's older than my eldest brother and has more life experience. You all have to be careful of him."
Lan Zhi seems like a piece of wood and never does anything to win favor, but she is calm and has a thorough understanding of people and things.
Look, on the first day Mu Qing and his wife came back, she saw that they were both foxes.
Second wife: "..."
Lan Zhi went upstairs.
"Azhi, Azhi! This damn girl is like a piece of wood, stupid and clueless, she doesn't know how to fight or compete, and she only talks nonsense."
The second wife was annoyed that her daughter was not living up to her expectations.
The second branch of the Lan family has always been much more low-key in this big manor. Her children are not as competitive as the third branch, which makes them even more low-key. If she hadn't often made her presence felt in front of the old lady, others would have thought that the second branch of the Lan family was gone.
After all, the second wife did not go to the third room to laugh at the third wife's joke.
Some of what my daughter said makes sense.
Shen Yimo is back.
Lan Qing also came back, bringing back the richest man in City A.
The sky above the Lan family manor is about to change.
After thinking about it, the second wife went to pick up some supplements herself, and then asked two maids to help carry them. She walked towards the main house in the center where the eldest son lived again.
