"Did my daughter-in-law say something wrong?" Jiang Chuwei looked completely innocent.
Chen Yulan may not have any other skills, but she is first-rate at being unreasonable and argumentative.
When she throws a tantrum, even Old Madam Lu has to give her some leeway.
Jiang Chuwei used to indulge her, but there's no need to spoil her now.
"Does Grandmother think so too? That her granddaughter-in-law can't accept eating bird's nest that she bought with her own money?"
Old Madam Lu was heartbroken; she was still waiting for this bite to satisfy her craving: "Of course Wei'er can eat it, but you should inform your grandmother so that the kitchen can cook another serving. You know, your grandmother loves this."
Old Madam Lu held Jiang Chuwei's hand, smiling lovingly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Jiang Chuwei withdrew her hand without making a sound.
Madam Lu's face stiffened.
Jiang is different today than usual.
On second thought, she might be angry because no one had visited her while she was in a coma.
Even her husband was nowhere to be seen every day.
Thinking about this, the old lady was no longer so bothered by Jiang Chuwei taking away her bird's nest.
We'll stew it again tomorrow.
Even a clay figure has its temper.
Over the past three years, the Hou family has had a much better life under her management.
Her good-for-nothing grandson has never stayed overnight at Avon.
The Marquis's family is now counting on him to bring glory to their ancestors!
He, on the other hand, spends all his time fooling around with that vixen.
The heir of a noble family is now a leisurely figure in the Imperial Guard.
Thinking about this made her angry.
That idiot Chen doesn't care about her son's feelings for Jiang.
How can a marquis's mansion function without a legitimate grandson?
It seems I'll have to register Hao-ge under the Jiang family name later.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Chen Yulan again.
That idiot Chen can't even coax Jiang properly.
It's good that she couldn't be saved after falling into the water and losing consciousness; if she had been saved, she would definitely hold a grudge.
She, as a second wife, squandered all of the first wife's dowry.
Now that her daughter-in-law is managing the household, what more could she possibly want?
Jiang Chuwei: "Grandmother, from now on, you and Mother can use the public funds for your bird's nest!"
"What? Didn't it always come from your private treasury? Where in the public funds would you get money to buy bird's nest?"
When Chen Yulan heard that the public funds would be used, which would be tantamount to cutting off her bird's nest, she immediately cried out.
"Is Mother expecting her daughter-in-law to use her dowry to support the Marquis's mansion?" Jiang Chuwei asked, feeling wronged.
"Haven't things been like this for the past few years?" Chen said.
"Shut up!" Old Madam Lu scolded.
It's true that Jiang used her dowry to subsidize the Marquis's mansion, and that was something she did willingly, so no one could say anything about it.
But saying it out loud is another matter.
If word gets out, where will the Marquis's family put their face?
