Chapter 80 Three Houses' Discussion

"Coincidence?"

But Mrs. Wei was a meticulous person and seldom believed in coincidences. She always felt that this matter was not simple.

But since the person was gone, she couldn't go after him, so she could only put the matter aside.

In the following days, the fifth room was rejected many times.

I want to find Shang Ji, but he has to train his troops, so naturally he won't come back home.

In order to find Du Jingyi, she went to inspect the manor again and had no idea when she would return.

They were so anxious that blisters appeared on the corners of their mouths, but it was of no use.

Since they had nowhere to turn to in Dongyuan, they naturally had to turn their attention back to Yunjinyuan.

So first the fifth old master started to make trouble, and then the fifth old lady went to cry and complain, causing chaos in the Yunjin Courtyard.

After a few days, Shang Yukuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he also went out, saying that he wanted to have tea and talk about painting with his friends.

But Mrs. Wei knew clearly what he was doing. Where did he get any friends from?

So, he simply followed Dong Yuan's example, closed the door, and stopped seeing people.

The fifth room did not dare to make a big deal about this, for fear that others would find out and get there first.

Especially the third room! God knows what evil thoughts they would have if they knew about it? If they couldn't get what they wanted and ruined the matter, it would be a real problem.

But some things are not airtight, so while the people in the fifth room were frowning, the Baotaoyuan, which was separated from them by a wall, was also noisy.

It's for the same purpose.

The people in the two rooms were suspicious of each other and kept secrets from each other, but they never thought that the other side already knew it.

Erlang's wife thought about it for a few days and also learned some things from outside, so she took the opportunity to tell everyone about this matter when everyone was at home.

Compared to the greedy fifth room, there are still one or two people in the third room who are decent people.

For example, Sanlang and his wife were extremely opposed to sending Shang Si Niang to be a concubine.

It was probably because Sanlang's wife was born into a government family, so although she didn't enjoy much wealth since childhood, she still learned the rules and had the backbone of a noble family.

The same is true for Sanlang, especially since he is still working in the Ministry of Rites.

Although he was of low rank and his words did not count, it did not prevent him from associating with people who were noble and respectful. So in his opinion, this matter was completely nonsense.

So, he got angry in front of everyone.

"Fourth sister has just had a few days of peaceful life? Is Second Sister-in-law so anxious to drive her away? If she is really from a good family, I won't stop her, but she is so old, so what if she is from a royal palace? Can she come out intact after entering?"

"Don't you think about it? If there is such a good thing, why doesn't the Jia family send their own daughter? Instead, they want to bring trouble to our family. Isn't this using our people to pave the way for their own wealth and glory?"

"Are you still having fun here? You're counting the money even though you've sold them all!"

It was he who went to Shang Si Niang's house to divorce her and take her back, so he felt more distressed than others.

That's why he speaks out like this.

But his opponent is Erlang's wife, who is the housekeeper in the third room and has the final say.

So when she heard Shang Sanlang's words, she suddenly pretended to be innocent and started crying.

"Third brother, you are trying to wrong me to death. Could it be that I married into this mansion and worked day and night to deal with household affairs just to harm you brothers and sisters? I also helped Fourth Sister with her divorce. Why do you think I am forcing her to die now?"

As he spoke, he jumped up and down violently.

She was originally a girl from a merchant family. If she really started to throw a tantrum, no one would be willing to speak to her with such a shameless attitude.

After being retorted by her, Shang Sanlang was at a loss for words. His handsome face was filled with helplessness and lamentation.

After all, if we really talk about the contribution that Erlang's wife has made to the family, it is indeed undeniable.

Moreover, many of the holes in the Third House were filled by her with her dowry, so she was indeed more confident when she spoke.

The third old master and the third old lady didn't say anything. Their silence was not as aggressive as before.

Shang Yurong, the third master of the family, is also a fickle person. It's okay to let him make trouble on weekdays, but when he really encounters a situation, he dares not even fart.

Otherwise, Erlang's wife and Sanlang wouldn't have come into direct conflict.

There are also two men and two women in their room.

Liu Niang married into the Jia family, and Si Niang divorced and returned home. Most of the time, the only female family member who had a say in the backyard was Erlang's wife.

After she spoke, even her mother-in-law, Mrs. Fan, couldn't say much.

Sanlang's wife wanted to speak a few words on behalf of Shang Si Niang, but she saw that she was sitting there with a dead heart, like a clay sculpture or wooden carving.

There was no reaction at all, as if what was said had nothing to do with her.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Seeing this, Sanlang's wife could only sigh in her heart.

What’s the point of relying on them to help if this person doesn’t save himself?

Not only did he offend his second sister-in-law, it will be difficult for him to make a living under the same roof in the future.

So, she also remained silent, and pulled her husband's sleeve, signaling him not to force it anymore.

Just when the atmosphere was about to reach freezing point, it was Shang Erlang who came out to break the ice.

It’s a pity that he can’t spit out ivory from his dog’s mouth, so he chuckled and asked.

"Are you done yet? Can we go now? I have something to do outside, how about I leave first?"

He lived a carefree and happy life, not caring about anything happening at home.

I just wanted to go out and drink and gamble, and if I didn't have money, I would buy on credit.

Anyway, there is always someone to back him up, so the worst that can happen is a few scoldings and a few beatings.

He has been used to it since he was a child.

Seeing him speak like this, even the third old lady who doted on her grandson couldn't help but curse at him.

"Go away, go away. I haven't seen you here all day. Now that the children have grown up, you don't even want to be a role model."

After she said that, Shang Erlang would just take advantage of the situation and said shamelessly.

"Then I'll go first. You guys can discuss it slowly. Anything is fine!"

It was as if he hadn't said anything, and Erlang's wife was so angry that she jumped up and down.

As soon as Shang Erlang left, Erlang's wife's voice became even louder.

"Look, this is the man who is in charge of the family? He just runs away when encountering trouble, leaving me, a woman, embarrassed here. Since that's the case, I don't care anymore. Third brother, you can handle it. Anyway, I have already conveyed Sixth Mother's words. As for whether Fourth Mother should go or stay, or something else, you can handle it."

"The dowry I brought has been almost used up over the years. I have no intention or ability to help anymore. Since you think my treatment as your second sister-in-law is unfair, then let your wife be the head of the family. I will go back and raise the children."

After saying this, he pretended to leave.

Sanlang's wife was not willing to take over this mess, so she immediately stood up and took her hand to comfort her.

"It's not the Second Sister-in-law's fault that she misunderstood us. No one is more dedicated than the Second Sister-in-law in this matter of being the head of the family. Sanlang also said the wrong thing for the sake of his sister. Don't take it too seriously."
