“Mrs. Jiang, are you misunderstanding something? Jiao Jiao’s outfit is all made by famous designers, how can it be a fake?” said the girl next to Wei Jiao.
"Indeed, Third Madam, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Seeing that someone was supporting her, Wei Jiao became even more agitated and said bluntly, "That's right, Xu Shi, do you also want to be ridiculed as being uncouth like this merchant's daughter?"
"Who is not presentable? That's a term used to describe concubines. My mother is the legal wife. Who dares to say I'm not presentable? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't hesitate to argue with you about who is not presentable!" Li Chunlan was so angry that she was trembling. She immediately retorted.
Wei Jiao's smugness vanished instantly, and her face turned pale.
Clearly, Li Chunlan had also grasped her weakness. Although Wei Jiao was not born to a concubine, her mother was, and logically speaking, her maternal grandmother was a concubine.
"You, since you look down on my family, leave immediately!" Wei Jiao's eyes were red with anger, and she was clearly about to cry.
"Jiaojiao, don't be angry. The young master's wife isn't talking about you, she's talking about Madam Jiang the Third. There is indeed a concubine's daughter here who is not presentable. The young master's wife is really ruthless in scolding her own sister-in-law like that, it's worse than slapping someone in the face!"
Among Wei Jiao's friends, there is clearly a smart girl.
The girl was dressed in a blue dress, and her attire was elegant and simple, like a snow lotus. She was also the most outstanding in appearance among Wei Jiao's group.
The girl in blue hadn't said a word until now, and her first sentence hit the nail on the head.
Wei Jiao, who was originally so angry that she was about to break down, burst into laughter instantly upon hearing these words, as if it were a long-awaited rain after a drought.
"Haha, Sister Ninglu is right. Eldest sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to expose the discord between you and your sister-in-law in front of so many outsiders. That's really unacceptable!"
Li Chunlan originally intended to scold Wei Jiao, but unexpectedly, she accidentally offended Xu Wanying.
The system couldn't help but click its tongue: "[It's not the god-like opponents I fear, but the pig-like teammates. Host, be careful. Without Li Chunlan, you could easily win this verbal battle, but with her, your chances of winning instantly become 50/50. She's like a spy sent by the opposing side.]"
Li Chunlan clearly knew she had made a mistake, and quickly looked at Xu Wanying to apologize: "Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant!"
Xu Wanying took a light breath. There is a rhythm to arguing. She had just built up the argument to a certain point and was about to cast her net when Li Chunlan interrupted her.
But it's okay, the king of arguments fears no challenge.
"Hey, sister-in-law, why are you apologizing? Those words are so vulgar. My cousin clearly insulted me first, but now it's like I'm the one who did something wrong. Cousin, are you alright? You've already forgotten what you just said and are blaming someone else. You're so young, are you sick? You should quickly call a doctor to come and take a look, lest you have trouble finding a husband and never get married!"
Xu Wanying has clearly gone too far. Just now she was only pretending to be innocent and had a very teasy demeanor, but now she is extremely aggressive.
The phrase "difficulty in finding a spouse, unable to get married" would have been ridiculed in modern times.
But when those words were applied to Wei Jiao, they were a fatal blow, since she wasn't a staunch advocate of remaining single; in fact, she was hoping to marry Jiang Chengyi.
"You, you used to be a young lady too, how can you say such things to me? How shameless! Besides, you only got this marriage because you fell into the water and your third cousin saved you, and then you went to my door to cheat on me. How dare you talk about others like this?" Wei Jiao's face turned red and then green, feeling both ashamed and indignant.
“As your cousin-in-law, I’m just concerned about you. Why does your cousin always think the worst of people? I’m really worried that you might have some hidden illness. You can’t hide your illness and avoid seeking medical treatment. If you have any illness, you should get it treated as soon as possible.”
“I’m so heartbroken that my cousin has wronged me like this. I didn’t have the nerve to say anything when you insulted me so harshly before, but my cousin is so ungrateful. So don’t blame me for speaking my mind.”
Xu Wanying is a talented singer and actress. After she finished speaking, her eyes immediately turned red and even welled up with tears. She took out her embroidered handkerchief to wipe away her tears, looking like a pitiful little white flower.
Everyone was stunned, watching her performance in astonishment.
Even Li Chunlan was stunned. Her third sister-in-law was really amazing. Her tears came so easily, unlike her who needed chili water to induce tears.
“You young ladies keep saying that my cousin’s outfit is made by a famous designer. Are you just young and easily fooled, or do you not want my cousin to look good? Look at her, the pearl on her hairpin isn’t even as big as the one on my embroidered shoes.”
"Look at this! The two beads on my shoes are the smallest I could find, otherwise they'd be too heavy. But the ones you're wearing on your head are three sizes smaller than the ones on my feet! Who made these? This is ripping people off!"
Xu Wanying continued speaking, lifting her skirt as she did so, revealing her blue embroidered shoes.
The embroidered shoes have delicate embroidery patterns of kittens playing with balls.
As for the ball being played with, it was the large pearl on the toe of the shoe, about the size of a baby's fist, both playful and adorable, and exuding wealth and nobility.
Several girls looked at the pearl on the tip of her shoe and couldn't help but swallow, revealing a hint of envy.
Has the Marquis of Zhongyi's family stumbled upon a den of rich people? How come both of their daughters-in-law are wealthy?
When Li Chunlan and Xu Wanying, these two sisters-in-law, stood together, their outfits were so luxurious and dazzling that no one could help but take a second look.
