"Second Aunt, you're a treasure too."
After Da Niu finished speaking, his face turned red and felt a little hot. His eyes started to dart away, and he didn't dare to look at people.
"So good~"
Smack! Another bite landed on her little face.
Seeing this, Jiang Nuan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "So young and already so good at sweet-talking people, I wonder how many girls she will win over in the future."
"Grandma~"
"Alright, go to sleep now." Jiang Nuan gently pinched his nose, then turned her head. "Put him on the bed, let's go."
"Um."
Madam Xie placed the person on the bed, covered them with the blanket, and was about to leave when Da Niu tightly grabbed her sleeve, calling out, "Second Aunt~"
The cautious yet ingratiating tone made one's heart ache.
"Second Auntie won't leave, be good, let's sleep together."
"Um."
Seeing this, Jiang Nuan silently stared at the teacup before leaving.
This incident had some impact on the Huang family.
From top to bottom, no one mentioned the Wang family again, not even Da Niu and the other two.
From then on, she became a taboo figure.
Even after the people who escorted her left, Wang still couldn't believe she had been driven out of town and was left all alone.
Thinking of the misery ahead, my eyes were filled with despair.
"How could this happen? Everything was fine before!"
"It was just pinching her own child. Which child hasn't been hit before?"
"Why are they so delicate that they can't even move?"
"If we're stuck here forever, will my husband forget me? What will we do then?"
She hasn't gone to the capital yet.
If I had known, I would have endured this period no matter what.
Wang, finally realizing something was wrong, felt as if the sky had fallen.
She dared not think about the future, only knowing that if things continued like this, she would definitely not have a good ending, and even her husband would not be as easy to talk to as before.
Feeling hopeless about the future, Wang was contemplating suicide, yet she couldn't bear to leave this worldly paradise.
Thinking of this, he immediately called out to the servant who was left there to watch over him, "Donglin, come here, I need to talk to you."
"What are your orders, Madam?"
"Could you please send a message to my parents' home and ask them to come and pick me up?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Lin lowered his eyes, a look of surprise flashing in his pupils. "I'm afraid I cannot."
"What? You think I can't order you around?"
His words betrayed his deep displeasure.
Once he lost power, even his servants dared to openly disobey him, which was infuriating.
"Reporting to the young mistress, Steward Cao instructed me to keep a close eye on you and not to leave the residence at will."
"Donglin," Wang Shi pursed her lips and repeated again, "you really don't want to?"
"Please forgive me, young mistress."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang stared straight at him and said coldly, "Donglin, no matter how down on my luck I am, I am still the wife of the Marquis of Liuxian. I will not tolerate being bullied by a servant."
"Please forgive me, young mistress."
"If you don't want to, I'll go myself. Get a car ready for me."
"Young Madam, the housekeeper instructed you to take good care of your injuries and not to go out."
As he spoke, Donglin deliberately blocked the way out.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang trembled with rage. "Donglin, do you even respect me as your master?"
“Young Madam,” Donglin explained emotionlessly, “my indenture is not in your possession. Strictly speaking, you are not my master.”
Donglin was very puzzled as to why Wang Shi still couldn't see the situation clearly.
She's just an ordinary peasant woman, nothing without the Huang family, so why can she still act like the wife of a marquis?
Are you so sure you won't be divorced?
Donglin's words made Wang slump into a chair. "Am I really going to be stuck here for the rest of my life?"
What a cruel heart!
She only made a small mistake, so why should she have to spend her whole life making up for it?
Is it okay for a mother-in-law to bully people like this?
“Young Madam,” Donglin said with a hint of helplessness, “please take good care of yourself.”
They're still so unrepentant, there's no one else like them.
This master's head must be full of mush. He looks quite smart, so how come he can't see the situation clearly?
Making mistakes is certainly annoying, but being unrepentant is even more disheartening.
"Never mind," Wang said dejectedly, unable to leave. "Go and brew some medicine for me; my whole body aches."
"Young Madam, the Madam has instructed you to be self-reliant."
"You want me to do it myself?" Madam Wang asked, her eyes red. "Aren't you afraid that if something goes wrong, the manor will hold you accountable?"
"No, Madam."
Upon hearing this, an unprecedented sense of powerlessness welled up in Wang's heart. She didn't even have the mood to scold the servants; she only felt a chill run through her body.
"Is this an attempt to kill someone?"
"No, I need to recover properly and stay alive."
Once she understood, Wang ran to the kitchen to cook medicine for herself before Donglin could react.
“Indeed,” Donglin couldn’t help but shake his head, “just as the housekeeper said, the eldest young mistress really has no backbone at all.”
No matter what happens, protect yourself first, even if you suffer a lot of grievances or humiliation.
People like this are really a headache.
In the capital, Huang Laoda was still unaware of what had happened at home.
After the blessing ceremony, the group prepared to pack their belongings and leave the capital.
“Strange,” Jiang Chao narrowed his eyes, “I have a feeling something’s not right.”
It shouldn't have ended so abruptly.
Although they arrived in a disheveled state, they attracted the attention of thousands.
There's no reason for going back to end things so poorly.
"What's wrong?"
"It shouldn't be this bland."
"Is it bland?" Huang Lao Er was quite puzzled. "I don't think so."
It's always this guy trying to please him or that guy testing him. It's really too much. Can't he just have some peace and quiet?
"That's right, didn't a lot of people invite the four of us to a banquet today?"
“No, that’s not it,” Jiang Chao shook his head. “It’s too calm. It shouldn’t be like this.”
"Wouldn't that be better?" Huang Lao Er asked, puzzled. "Why think so much?"
“That’s right,” Old Huang chimed in, “They’re so busy, they don’t have time to think about us nobody.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chao fell silent, but a sense of unease lingered in his heart.
A moment later, Liu Anle came over, beaming with joy, "You rascals, good news has come! His Majesty is going to personally see you off."
“No,” Jiang Chao refused without hesitation. “His Majesty is busy with state affairs, and the four of us dare not take up his time.”
"That's right, we can leave quietly, no need to see us off."
The most basic trust between people has been lost, and he strongly suspects that Liu An is up to some bad idea again.
"You don't know what's good for you," Liu An couldn't help but slap Huang Lao Er. "The current emperor only personally sees off large armies and high-ranking officials when they go on campaign. He's doing you a favor by giving you face."
"No need, we don't want that kind of face."
"You're so shameless! Are you stupid?" Liu An scolded him with exasperation. "You good-for-nothing! You can't even seize a good opportunity. You really don't know how to behave."
This kind of honor is something most people would dream of their whole lives, but these few brats were so unwilling to accept it, it made him want to punch them.
