Chapter 388: A Complaint
"Aunt, this is my first time going to the county town. If I dress poorly, I'll definitely be laughed at, and I'll lose face." Qian Yuemei looked at Xiao Tangbao with a flattering expression and said, "I remember you have a piece of bright purple material. You're young, and that color is too dull for you..."
When Qian Yuemei said this, the ingratiating smile on her face became even brighter.
"Why don't you make some clothes for my second sister-in-law? After she wears them out, it will also bring honor to my younger sister-in-law, right?"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Otherwise, you should stay at home, sister-in-law.
"Second sister-in-law, I gave that material to my eldest sister-in-law to make clothes." Xiao Tangbao said.
Qian Yuemei, “…”
The bright smile froze.
immediately--
"Aunt, we are both sisters-in-law, why do you give it to my elder sister-in-law but not to me?" Qian Yuemei looked aggrieved and dissatisfied.
"My sister-in-law made me several new school bags, new clothes, and new shoes." Little Tangbao said innocently, "Also, my sister-in-law is always worried that I'm too hot, thirsty, or hungry..."
Qian Yuemei, “…”
Why do I feel so wronged and angry?
"Well, Second Sister-in-law, remember that my aunt has a piece of lilac-colored material, and the color doesn't suit my aunt either..."
"Oh, I gave that piece of material to my fourth sister-in-law."
Qian Yuemei, “…”
"Why did you give it to the fourth brother's family again?" Qian Yuemei suddenly raised her voice, "I'm your sister-in-law too!"
If she is the elder sister-in-law, she really treats her younger sister-in-law with great care.
But why does this fourth brother's wife have such good qualities?
"Because every time Fourth Sister-in-law comes back from town, she will buy me beads and cakes. She also bought me a thin and breathable tent. She herself has never been willing to buy such expensive things." Xiao Tangbao said matter-of-factly.
I am a child, so naturally I will be nice to whoever is nice to me.
As for treating my sister-in-law fairly...
How is that possible!
I'm just a kid, why would I care about so many things?
Children are the most intuitive way to express their preferences!
Qian Yuemei was speechless!
I couldn't tell whether it was jealousy, resentment, or regret for not coaxing my sister-in-law well.
In short, whenever I think about the good things in my sister-in-law's hands, and wonder how much of them were cheated away by my two sisters-in-law without my knowledge, my heart aches.
No wonder the eldest sister-in-law and fourth brother's wife are always around the younger sister-in-law. It turns out this is their plan!
How can this be possible?
No! Absolutely not!
She must go and talk to her mother!
Otherwise, one day all the good things in the sister-in-law's hands might be taken away by the two sisters-in-law.
Qian Yuemei ran to Old Lady Su to complain like a gust of wind.
"Mom, I'm young, what do I know? My eldest sister-in-law and fourth brother's wife are simply going too far!" Qian Yuemei said angrily.
Old Madam Su glanced at Qian Yuemei calmly and said slowly, "Although Tang Bao is young, she can tell who is truly kind to her."
Qian Yuemei, “…”
Why do I feel like my mother-in-law has something else to say?
"Second brother, if you feel that it would be embarrassing to go to the county town without new clothes, then you might as well stay at home and don't go." Old Mrs. Su said.
Qian Yuemei's heart skipped a beat.
That won’t do!
"Mother, look at what you said, how can it be embarrassing?" Qian Yuemei said awkwardly: "My wife just said it casually. Um, mother, I'll go see if my aunt is hot and give her some air..."
Qian Yuemei said this and ran away at a speed faster than she came.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Qian Yuemei's back and shook her head helplessly.
I really want to remind you to go slower because there is another baby in your belly.
Forget it, this daughter-in-law is strong anyway!
**
Capital city.
Lin Wanyu never expected that her own father would actually go to Shuntian Prefecture to sue her!
"I don't believe it!" Lin Wanyu screamed, her face full of disbelief.
She couldn't believe her father would do this!
She couldn't believe her father could be so cruel!
However, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture came personally to the Shangshu Mansion to summon Lin Wanyu.
"Madam, this is Lin Hong's complaint."
The prefect narrowed his eyes, took out a petition and waved it in front of Lin Wanyu.
If it wasn't the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion who was involved, why would he, the prefect, have to come in person?
He came to save face for Minister Qiu and also because he was afraid that he would not be able to summon anyone when he sent the yamen runners.
This case has alarmed the higher-ups, and people throughout the capital are watching to see how the situation develops.
He must enforce the law impartially and investigate the case promptly!
What's more, although Lin Hong was stripped of his title, he had been a Duke for so many years and was once a well-known figure in the capital.
Now Lin Hong actually sued his own daughter, which was a big talk in Beijing.
There is no other topic of conversation on the streets.
The news that the eldest young lady had murdered her cousin had already spread like wildfire in the capital.
However, it's just rumors, and no one has any evidence.
Now that the father has sued his own daughter, everyone thinks that what happened back then must be true.
Lin Wanyu's head was buzzing, her vision was blacking out, and a hint of grayness appeared on her face.
Her father actually sued her... Her father actually sued her...
This sentence was the only thing left in Lin Wanyu's mind.
The prefect looked at Minister Qiu, clasped his fists and said, "Please forgive me, Minister."
Minister Qiu's face was already covered with clouds of gloom, darker than it could be.
This is simply a disgrace to the Shangshu Mansion.
If the daughter-in-law of their Shangshu Mansion entered Shuntian Prefecture, wouldn't she become a laughing stock in the capital?
"She is just a concubine in the mansion. I originally wanted to send her away in a few days. But since she has committed a crime, please trouble Prefect Zhang to take her away." Minister Qiu said with disgust.
Prefect Zhang was stunned.
When did this young lady become a concubine?
Zhang Fuyin's eyes flashed.
Then I understood.
The Shangshu Mansion has already given up on this eldest young lady.
Although if what happened back then is true, then this young lady deserves her current situation.
However, the way the Shangshu Mansion does things is a bit too cold-blooded.
Although Zhang Fuyin thought so in his heart, he would never comment on it.
He just waved to the yamen runners from Shuntian Prefecture.
The yamen runner immediately stepped forward, looked at Lin Wanyu, and said in a businesslike manner, "Ms. Lin, please come with us!"
Since Shuntian Prefecture has accepted Lin Hong's complaint, the defendant must be present.
"No! I won't go!" Lin Wanyu backed away in panic.
She knew that once she entered Shuntian Prefecture, there would be no chance of turning her life around.
The Shangshu Mansion would never want a woman who had been to Shuntian Mansion to be the daughter-in-law of the Qiu family!
"Lin, if you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for being rude!"
When the two yamen runners saw each other, they didn't hesitate and reached out to grab Lin Wanyu.
Logically speaking, if Lin Wanru was still the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion, they really wouldn't dare to act so rashly.
But, the Shangshu just said that this is just a concubine in the Shangshu Mansion. What else don’t they understand?
Why are you being so polite?
