Xu Wanying wanted to roll her eyes instantly; it was her vengeful sister-in-law who had arrived.
She couldn't understand why the eldest daughter-in-law of a marquis's family could have such a personality.
This eldest sister-in-law is absolutely an oddball. She has no demeanor whatsoever as the eldest daughter-in-law of a noble family. Instead, she is extremely vulgar. Only she could utter such crude and offensive words, as if she were afraid that others would not hear her.
When Madam Li Chunlan rushed in, Xu Wanying felt as if her eyes were being blinded by her brilliance.
Li Chunlan was dressed in a very flashy way, with all sorts of glittering gold hairpins on her head, which looked quite heavy.
Her clothes were also bright red and green, and her makeup was also mainly based on color, but because her skin was dark, it made her look even more dull.
She wore three gold bracelets on her arms, each one exquisitely crafted, unique, and magnificent.
But when all these precious jewels were piled up together, she looked like a walking jewelry box, haphazard and extremely gaudy.
When modern nouveau riche meet her, they all call her "Big Sister, you're so rich! What kind of gang do you come from?"
Madam Cen frowned and said in a cold tone, "What are you shouting about? How many times have I told you not to act so loudly and to be more composed? You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis's mansion. This family will be handed over to you and the eldest son in the future. If you can't stand up for yourself like this, what will become of us?"
“Mother, I know. I’ve already changed everything, but when I heard today that my sister-in-law fainted again and is now vomiting blood all over the bed, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. Tell me, my third brother has brought home a new wife, and now—I wish I could give my life for her!”
After Li Chunlan finished speaking, she immediately pulled out a handkerchief and pressed it hard against her eyes. Her eyes instantly turned red, and tears streamed down her face.
"Third sister-in-law, my poor third sister-in-law. My Pan-ge'er really didn't do it on purpose. He's just a little kid. He was completely deceived. I heard that you deliberately fell into the water so that your third brother could rescue you. Your clothes were all wet, so your third brother had no choice but to marry you."
“I told him that you are young and beautiful, and although you are a concubine’s daughter, you are still a decent match, but he just wouldn’t believe me. He has admired the third brother since he was a child, thinking that his third uncle is brave and extraordinary, having passed the martial arts examination at a young age, and is even capable of marrying a princess. You, a concubine’s daughter from a humble family, are not good enough for him at all. Moreover, when you fell into the water, his original intention was to recognize you as his god-sister, but you refused and even put on a show that you would commit suicide if he didn’t marry you. You were just forcing his third uncle, like a toad trying to eat swan meat…”
Li Chunlan started crying and wailing again, her voice deafening.
She would say these things every time she came, and Xu Wanying was tired of hearing them. It was less like she was visiting to see her in the hospital and more like she was coming to pierce her heart.
Fortunately, Xu Wanying was a transmigrator, and these things were done by the original owner of the body, so she didn't feel like she was being criticized behind her back. Otherwise, with this attitude of scolding and exposing shortcomings every day, who could stand it?
"Sister-in-law, don't cry." She forced a weak smile, and was about to say something when she suddenly frowned and sneezed several times.
"Where is this smell coming from? It's so pungent! Is the kitchen making spicy dishes? Hongmei, go check the kitchen quickly. Could someone have stolen some again? I can't eat these spicy and stimulating foods while I'm recovering!" Xu Wanying immediately ordered someone to go out.
Hongmei accepted the order and left. The room fell silent immediately, and even Li Chunlan's crying stopped.
She quickly stuffed the handkerchief into her bosom and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
This blatant attempt to cover up her true feelings made it clear to everyone that the First Madam's tears were not genuine sympathy for the Third Madam, but rather forced out by the pepper spray.
Cen frowned, inwardly calling her an idiot, but she had no choice but to cover for her and change the subject.
"Where's Brother Pan? Didn't he come along?"
"Oh dear, I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it, Mother. I had heard that my third sister-in-law had vomited blood, and I wanted to bring him over to apologize, but unfortunately, he was out with some classmates for a poetry gathering." Li Chunlan clapped her hands suddenly, as if she had just remembered.
Xu Wanying waved her hand and said very generously, "He has already apologized. I just need to recover. He's just a child, so don't frighten him again."
Her words were quite pleasing to the ear, making Li Chunlan overjoyed, and she even felt a pang of sympathy for her son.
Pan Ge'er is the eldest grandson of the Marquis's family, the only one of his kind in the family. This third sister-in-law is just a concubine's daughter who married into the family through dishonest means. Why should he apologize?
He's just a child, please don't let him get away with this!
[I can't afford to offend him, so I can only smile and say it's nothing. But there are always those powerful and wealthy young men he can't afford to offend. He smashed my left head, so I'll smash his right one in, letting him run wild and be arrogant. Next time he encounters someone he can't afford to offend, preferably a prince or princess, since he looks down on them, I'll smash their head open too.]
[When that time comes, hehe, the whole family will go to jail!]
Just as Li Chunlan was feeling smug, she suddenly heard a malicious curse in her ear.
Her smile froze on her face. Who was so vicious as to want everyone in the Marquis's mansion to go to jail?
Cen was also startled. The voice sounded very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but something felt very wrong. After a moment of reaction, she realized that it was exactly the same as Xu Wanying's voice.
However, Xu Wanying always spoke gently and pitifully, which Cen Shi looked down on. She even thought to herself that she was no wonder she was born of a concubine and could not be presented in public.
Because it was completely different from usual, neither Cen Shi nor Li Chunlan could match it up.
Li Chunlan's eyes widened, and she immediately shouted, "Xu Wanying, what are you saying!"
Just as she was about to go crazy with anger, a strange voice suddenly came from nowhere, sounding extremely eerie.
[Host, you really are a prophet. This young master Pan from the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion has really messed with himself. He and a few other spoiled brats were secretly drinking, feeling very powerful, and shouting that they were acting on behalf of heaven. They happened to witness a group of rich young masters getting into a fight with an orphaned street performer, and he rushed in to rescue the orphan, beating the young masters black and blue.]
[The young master surrounded by others had a fiery temper. Even though he couldn't beat your young master Pan, he stubbornly clung to his arm. Finally, Pan, pushed to his limit, kicked him so hard he broke his leg. Guess what? Hey, that young master wasn't just anyone; he was the Sixth Prince, who had sneaked out of the palace to play.]
In the end, not only were both of Young Master Pan's legs completely crippled, but even his third leg was injured. He never lived as a man and could only be a eunuch!
