Chapter 1945: Boomerang
The second wife looked at the speechless first wife and simply made things clear.
"I won't hide it from my sister-in-law anymore. When I said goodbye and left the Su family, I was thinking about the fourth girl. I thought that since both families have young children, it would be better if we could visit each other more often so that the two children can get to know each other. Maybe in two years, it will be a natural thing..."
The Second Lady paused here, as if she was recalling something.
Then, he continued, "Unexpectedly, the eldest lady of the Su family made it clear. She said that the Su family came from the countryside, and that they mostly ate vegetables grown by themselves, and other things they picked from the mountains, and raised chickens and ducks by themselves. These were all worthless things, and could not compare to the luxurious living of the fourth young lady in the general's mansion. Our Su family is too small to marry the fourth young lady. She asked the fourth young lady to find another good husband."
At that time, the second wife was stunned.
Immediately, I felt a burning sensation on my face.
It has to be said that the Second Madam never expected that Mrs. Su, who was always kind, would actually say such a slightly sharp remark.
But she couldn't complain about anything.
After all, she had long guessed that it was okay to offend the Su family, but if she offended the Su family's aunt, she was afraid that no one in the Su family would let it go easily.
In this case, the fourth girl should have been excluded from the Su family long ago.
On the way back, the second wife regretted her trip more and more.
But then I thought again, if my sister-in-law asked someone else to go, he would definitely tell my sister-in-law these words when he returned.
As a result, the two families were bound to fall out.
For this reason, the second wife was somewhat glad that she was the one who came, and she was the only one who heard what Mrs. Su said.
The second wife thought about it and decided to keep this secret and not tell the first wife.
So as not to damage the harmony between the two families.
Unexpectedly, the eldest lady held on to him and refused to give in, as if she would not let him go.
The second wife got angry and told this matter.
After hearing what the second wife said, the first lady was shocked, angry, and felt a trace of unspeakable regret.
She admitted that she had complained to her daughters several times about her father-in-law's stupidity, as he had easily given Baiguo Mountain, which had a yield of several thousand taels every year, to a little country girl.
The little girl from the remote village was very smart and could even trick a great general.
At that time, she was in charge of the household affairs of the General's Mansion. Life was already difficult in the General's Mansion and they were somewhat stretched to the limit.
Isn't it natural for her to feel resentful?
Fortunately, the little girl was sensible and did not ask about the profits of Baiguo Mountain.
Every year she would tamper with the accounts and send someone to deliver a thousand or eight hundred silver coins, which she considered a good deed.
When her daughter said those words that day, she scolded her, but she actually disagreed in her heart and felt that her daughter was right.
She just didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would protect that little girl so much.
She never expected that after so much time had passed, the boomerang would actually pierce her and her little daughter.
"The Su family is so stingy..." The eldest lady was a little lacking in confidence, her face turning pale and blue.
She had to admit that the more she thought about it, the more regretful she felt.
If she had known this would happen, she would not have said those words in front of her daughter.
It is true that she intended to use her youngest daughter's mouth to criticize and ridicule the young girl from the Su family, but she did not expect that the Su family would become rich so quickly.
"Is he stingy, or does my sister-in-law treat him as a fool? My sister-in-law knows it." The second wife said, "I hope my sister-in-law will take care of herself."
After the second lady finished speaking, she turned and walked out.
However, he took a step, then stopped and added a few more words without looking back.
"If you feel wronged and can't swallow this anger, and want to cause trouble for the Su family, or want to go to the palace to complain, then please make it clear that you represent the first house of the general's mansion and have nothing to do with our second house."
After the second lady finished speaking, she did not linger and went straight back to her own yard.
Madam: “…”
The first lady looked at the second lady's back and her hands trembled with anger.
What does my second sister-in-law mean by this?
What if they draw a clear line between the two families?
"Madam, the manager of Jinxiufang is here." A maid came in and reported carefully.
The eldest lady waved her hand and said impatiently, "Send him back!"
How could she have the heart to make new clothes for her daughter now?
The little maidservant timidly agreed and hurried out.
I was afraid that if I was a step late, the eldest lady would get angry with me.
The eldest lady's eyes were blank, her mind full of thoughts.
It is obvious that the Su family has always remembered what happened back then.
Although he maintained polite etiquette with his family on the surface, it was probably because of his father-in-law's face.
What if my father-in-law is gone?
With the Su family's strong momentum of rise, they will surely prosper in the future.
Even if the General's Mansion has the support of the Queen, it will probably not be able to confront the Su family head-on.
Moreover, the Queen Mother may not stand on her side.
Even if there is a second wife, I can't rely on her anymore.
The eldest lady rubbed her forehead.
She suddenly realized that if she caused trouble for the Su family, she would be isolated and helpless.
Even though the Su family has no weight in the court now, the weight of a little girl from the Su family is equivalent to that of many important officials in the court.
After all, the Emperor is willing to protect her, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress Dowager are willing to pamper her.
It is said that the Queen of Western Qin and the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang hold people at the top of their hearts.
With a daughter like this, who in the world, let alone the General's Mansion, would dare to go against the Su family?
When the eldest lady thought of this, her original momentum instantly dissipated.
Even though she was the eldest lady of the general's mansion, she could not stop the rise of the Su family, let alone compete with the Su family.
Then he thought, what should he do if the Su family really deliberately suppresses the General's Mansion in the future?
Wouldn’t his own children and grandchildren be greatly implicated?
The eldest lady sat down on the chair dejectedly, with a strong sense of regret in her heart.
Why did she have that kind of thought back then?
Why didn’t you stop your daughter from saying those words in time?
It’s just a mountain of fruits, how could such a hidden danger arise?
In fact, the eldest lady was really overthinking it.
Although the Su family disliked the eldest lady and Yang Jing, they would not deliberately suppress the general's mansion because of a few words from Yang Jing.
The old general did help the Su family a lot back then, and the Su family has always been grateful for the old general's kindness.
Because of this, the incident with Yang Jing is over and done with.
The Su family and the general's mansion continued to interact as usual, and all the New Year's etiquette was still there.
If the general's mansion is in trouble, the Su family will definitely come to the rescue.
However, the Su family would not confide in the eldest wife of the general's mansion.
Naturally, the Su family would not marry Yang Jing as a daughter-in-law.
If the Second Madam went to propose marriage, not to mention that Old Madam Su and Mrs. Su Da would refuse outright, even if Mrs. Su Liu and the Fourth Boy were there, the mother and son would certainly refuse outright.
