Chapter 138
Upon hearing Yun Wan's words, Madam Zheng's brows immediately furrowed.
"If you don't like someone, you can just send them away. What do you mean by this?"
"Let me tell you, although I also think that woman's character and morals may not be the best, that doesn't mean you can defile this place of the Marquis's mansion!"
Upon hearing Zheng's words, Yunwan instinctively stood up: "Mother-in-law, please understand, I would never have meant such a thing!"
“Chenxi came with me as part of my dowry. If I just send her away like this, I’m afraid it will be hard to explain to my mother. After all… she was the one my mother chose.”
After saying this, Yun Wan had to admire her own quick wit.
Her reasoning is quite valid.
For a moment, Zheng was speechless.
Yun Wan softened her tone and continued, "Please understand, Mother-in-law."
Madam Zheng sighed: "You also have your difficulties. How about this, you call that girl over, and I'll talk to her first. If we can dispel her ambitions, that would be best. If not, then you can take action."
Zheng had already backed down, but unexpectedly Yun Wan looked troubled again.
Yunxi's methods and scheming are not what one would expect from someone from the countryside.
She hadn't forgotten that Yun Xi had taken away Madam Yun's token just a few days after returning to the Yun family, and obtained the same three thousand taels of silver as her every month. This showed how well she could win people's hearts.
If she were to directly contact Zheng, and manage to persuade her, she would have no one to turn to for help.
Yun Wan grew increasingly frustrated. How could Yun Xi be so troublesome?!
Seeing that Yun Wan remained silent, Madam Zheng's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again: "I've already backed down, do you still have some kind of difficulty?"
"...Daughter-in-law wouldn't dare," Yun Wan quickly regained her composure and said cautiously, "Mother-in-law doesn't know, that girl is very good at sweet-talking. First she sweet-talked my mother, and now she's sweet-talking the young master. I'm just worried that you might be sweet-talked too, so..."
“You don’t need to worry,” said Madam Zheng. “I’m not senile yet. Just call her over.”
"Can......"
This time, Yun Wan was truly in a difficult position.
"But even my daughter-in-law doesn't know where she is now..."
Zheng took a deep breath.
Having such a difficult daughter-in-law is truly a misfortune.
“Alright, you can go back now,” Zheng said. “I’ll just ask Zirong when he comes back tonight.”
"yes......"
Watching Yun Wan turn and leave, Madam Zheng sighed and said, "Birds of a feather flock together, really."
If a maid is restless, then her master is no good either.
Mother Zhou said with a smile, "Isn't it all for the sake of the young master!"
——
Madam Zheng specially ordered someone to guard the second gate. As soon as Shen Rang returned, he took him to Rongxi Hall.
Rongxi Hall prepared dinner, and because Chen Rang was coming, tonight's dinner was more colorful than usual.
"Are there many things going on at court lately?"
"not much."
Madam Zheng nodded: "I know you're not free. Since that's the case, you should focus your attention on important matters and not lose your sense of proportion for a woman."
Meeting Zheng's gaze, Shen Rang's eyes remained as calm as ever: "It seems that the young mistress has spoken to Mother again."
“That’s what the servants call her,” Madam Zheng frowned. “Zirong, that’s the wife you married through proper betrothal and marriage, she’s your wife!”
