Chapter 1944: The Su Family Refuses to Marry
Seeing that the eldest lady's face turned blue with anger, Yang Jing was a little scared. She quickly shook the eldest lady's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, don't be angry. I was wrong."
The eldest lady glared at Yang Jing and let out a breath.
She will go to the palace to pay a visit to her sister-in-law tomorrow and pay her respects to the imperial concubine.
My daughter's position as Crown Princess has been snatched away by the Su family, and my son's princess wife must not be snatched away by the Su family either.
At this time, a little girl in a goose yellow dress walked in.
"The daughter has met her mother."
A slightly sweet and innocent voice interrupted the eldest lady's thoughts.
The eldest lady looked at her concubine Yang Yan who was bowing to her and nodded casually.
"The embroiderer from Jinxiufang will come over later and make some new clothes for you and your fourth sister." The eldest lady said, suppressing her inner irritation.
It must be said that although the eldest lady did not like concubines, she did not deliberately treat Yang Yan harshly.
After all, she is just a girl. When she grows up, she will be arranged to marry, given some dowry, and married off.
If the marriage is chosen well, it will also be a help to the general's mansion.
As for whether Yang Jing would bully Yang Yan, all she could say was that it was normal for sisters to fight and quarrel with each other, so the eldest lady didn't ask any further questions.
"The daughter thanks her mother."
After hearing what the eldest lady said, Yang Yan's eyes lit up and it was obvious that she was very happy.
After all, she was just a little girl, so she was naturally happy when she heard that there were new clothes.
Seeing Yang Yan like this, the eldest lady nodded with satisfaction.
Yang Yan is still young and hasn't grown up yet, but you can tell that she is a little beauty.
Moreover, she had no ulterior motives, and the eldest lady was willing to show her tenderness as a legitimate mother to win people's hearts.
Yang Jing raised her chin, nodded at Yang Yan, and said in a somewhat arrogant manner: "You are taking advantage of me. I am your sister. I will finish selecting later, and then you can choose. Don't pick too many, understand?"
"Thank you, Fourth Sister. I know. I'll just pick one set." Yang Yan nodded obediently.
After saying that, he stood obediently behind Yang Jing.
In fact, although she is called Yang Jing's sister, all the servants in the general's mansion know that the fifth lady is just a little follower of the fourth lady.
Seeing this, the eldest lady didn't say anything, nor did she think there was anything wrong.
After all, she is a concubine's daughter, and should follow the lead of the legitimate daughter.
However, the clothes for the two little girls were never made.
Because, before the embroiderer from Jinxiufang came over, the second wife came back.
The second wife glanced at Yang Jing and shook her head at the first wife.
The eldest lady's face changed.
What does my second sister-in-law mean by this?
"Jing'er, take your sister back first. Mother has something to say to your second aunt." The eldest lady said with a stern face.
Yang Jing also felt the change in her mother's attitude. She didn't understand why, but she didn't dare to offend her mother at this time.
"Yes, mother, I'll take my leave." Yang Jing said.
After saying that, he took Yang Yan to the door.
But, I was still thinking about the new clothes.
So, when he reached the door, he couldn't help but turn around and said, "Mother, don't forget to ask the embroiderer from Jinxiufang to go to my yard."
The eldest lady waved her hands irritably and did not answer Yang Jing.
She has no mood to make new clothes for her daughter now.
After Yang Jing and Yang Yan left, the doctor asked, "Second sister-in-law, what happened?"
She didn't believe that the Su family would dare to refuse the marriage.
The Second Madam spoke frankly, saying, "The wife of the Duke of Su said that my grandson is still young, so marriage is not an option for the time being."
After saying this, he paused and continued, "Besides, the Sixth Madam is not in the capital. Although the Duke's wife is the grandmother, it is not appropriate for her to arrange a marriage for the child without the consent of the child's mother."
The reasons given are very sufficient.
However, the eldest lady was even more unhappy.
What does young mean?
If she remembered correctly, the child of the Su family was the same age as Princess Fude.
He is a teenage boy, is that still considered young?
There are many cases of arranged marriages in the world!
There are many people who are betrothed at birth.
The Su family's words are clearly an excuse!
As for the fact that the child’s mother is not in the capital, that is even more of an excuse!
Isn’t the second wife of the second house also not in the capital?
Didn’t the boy from the second house also have a marriage arranged in Prince Cheng’en’s Palace?
The more the lady thought about it, the uglier her expression became!
It was originally a done deal, but she didn't expect the Su family to refuse!
How dare they, the Duke's Mansion? !
"The Su family is so arrogant! They clearly don't take our General's Mansion seriously!"
The eldest lady was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up suddenly.
"No! I want to go to the palace and ask to see the Queen. Please make the decision!"
After the eldest lady finished speaking, she went to change her clothes and enter the palace.
As for not handing over the card in advance, she felt that as the mistress of the General's Mansion, if the General's Mansion was bullied, she should go directly to ask to see the Queen. This would also better show her anger.
She just didn't believe that her sister-in-law would side with the Su family this time and allow the Su family to trample on the reputation of the General's Mansion! ?
The Second Madam frowned and said quickly, "Wait a minute, sister-in-law!"
The first lady paused and looked at the second lady with an ugly expression.
"Why, second sister-in-law wants to speak for the Su family?" The eldest lady's voice was a little sharp. "I know second sister-in-law is close to the Su family, but don't confuse insiders and outsiders! Don't forget, you are the second wife of the general's mansion!"
As soon as the first lady finished speaking, the second lady's face darkened.
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law?" The Second Madam said angrily, "Of course I know I'm the Second Madam of the General's Mansion! I just want to tell you, sister-in-law, that marriage between two families is based on mutual consent. It's not just because you're happy that others must be happy!"
After saying that, he finally couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm on his face.
He added: “I don’t think it’s the Su family who is arrogant, it’s the sister-in-law who is too arrogant!”
It has to be said that the eldest lady of the Su family has not only become more calculating in the past two years, but has also become more arrogant.
After all, the Empress has regained her favor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been reinstated, and the General's Mansion has become glorious again.
As a result, the eldest lady's behavior became more and more high-profile.
She is no longer the general's wife who used to be low-key, cautious in her words and deeds, but also upright.
After hearing what the second wife said, the first lady felt as if someone had stabbed her in the lungs and gasped for breath in anger.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, please be careful with your words!" The eldest lady gritted her teeth.
The Second Madam was not afraid at all, and said in a crackling voice: "Am I wrong? Does the eldest sister-in-law think that the Su family is stupid?"
"Although it was the fourth girl who said those words back then, anyone with a brain would understand that a child who could say those words must have heard them from an adult."
"I'm sure my sister-in-law knows this very well."
Madam: “…”
Suddenly I felt guilty.
The second lady snorted coldly.
He added, "The Su family was concerned about the relationship between Dad and Fu Ya, so they didn't make it clear, but just postponed the marriage. This can be considered as giving enough face to the General's Mansion."
"If the situation were reversed, would you be willing to marry into a family like this? Would you be willing to marry a daughter-in-law who has mocked your own family?"
Madam: “…”
"It's not that other people's children can't find wives. The door threshold is almost trampled down." The second wife said again.
Madam: “…”
