"Sister-in-law, I'm here today on behalf of the Empress to invite Concubine Yun to the palace for an audience. Could it be that you're going to disobey her order?"
Madam Du Er has now married the Queen and doesn't take her elder sister-in-law seriously at all.
"My sister-in-law has now climbed up the social ladder, and her tone of voice is even more assertive than before. She's really different."
Madam Du said a few sarcastic words.
"Sister-in-law, even if my brother comes to stop me today, I'm afraid it won't work. I must bring Concubine Yun to the palace to have an audience with the emperor today."
Mrs. Du Er was very tough in her attitude, so Mrs. Du Da naturally refused to give in.
The servants of the two groups were fighting with each other. Madam Du took Zhao Yunzhu away from them for fear of being accidentally injured.
When Mrs. Du heard the news, she was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe, and was supported by her maid and rushed over.
Seeing the chaotic scene, Madam Du slapped the old woman's arm and shouted, "Stop it, everyone! Are there any rules left? Look at this!"
The chaotic scene finally calmed down.
Everyone knelt down.
Madam Du glared at her two daughters-in-law fiercely and said unhappily, "You two are so good, so good!"
"Concubine Yun and my Yong'an Marquis' Mansion are truly destined to be together. How wonderful! It's truly wonderful!"
Old Madam Du entered the house first, followed by the two ladies of the Du family.
Zhao Yunzhu was the last one to enter the house.
"My eldest daughter-in-law, you are confused. The Ninth Prince is not in Chang'an right now. Even if you feel sorry for Concubine Yun, you should never bring her back to the palace. If this gets out, what will happen?"
"Mother-in-law, I was hiding it originally, but it was my second brother and his wife who started making a fuss."
"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Besides, the Empress sent someone to take Concubine Yun to the palace. It was the steward in the Ninth Prince's residence who said that Concubine Yun was taken back by Sister-in-law."
Mrs. Du looked at her two daughters-in-law quarreling in front of her and felt overwhelmed.
She wished she could have the maid drive these two daughters-in-law out.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you should send Concubine Yun back today." Old Madam Du suppressed her anger and tried her best to speak to her eldest daughter-in-law in a calm tone, fearing that she would continue to act foolishly.
Finally, he set his sights on Zhao Yunzhu, "Concubine Yun, the Marquis' Mansion will no longer have you as a guest."
Opening your mouth means you want to drive people away.
Although I had expected it, I wasn't surprised at all when I faced it now.
She did not agree immediately, but looked at Mrs. Du.
"Mother, it's the Marquis's intention. We can't drive away his guests without his consent."
Madam Du moved Marquis Yong'an out.
Old Madam Du's face darkened. This was the first time that the eldest son's wife had disrespected her in public.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell to the bottom.
Mrs. Du chuckled, stood up, and walked to her mother-in-law, patting her chest to calm her down. "Don't get too angry, mother-in-law. I think my brother and sister-in-law might have other ideas in mind."
These words made Madam Du frown.
His eyes suddenly fell on Madam Du, "Boss's wife, do you and Boss have other ideas?"
Mrs. Du suddenly tensed up. "Mother-in-law, what you said really confuses your daughter-in-law."
As they were talking, the maid outside announced that Marquis Yong'an invited everyone to talk in the front hall.
After Madam Du gave the order, everyone had to move to the front hall to discuss further.
Zhao Yunzhu paced back and forth, and Nanny Hua felt uneasy. She tugged at her sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Miss, what's going on in the Marquis' Mansion? Are they planning to plot against you?"
Aunt Hua's worries were unfounded, but there was no more appropriate solution at the moment.
She had never thought that one day when Qin Zongzhi was not in Chang'an, she would have no one to rely on and would be manipulated at will by the nobles in the palace.
Fortunately, Qin Zongzhi prepared for the worst and left her a chance to save her life.
When they arrived at the front hall, Marquis Yong'an stood up with a sullen face and greeted Old Madam Du.
Zhao Yunzhu took all of this in. Why did something seem amiss between Marquis Yong'an and Old Madam Du in just a few days?
Because she was a guest today, she was welcomed by the servants and taken to the guest seat.
"Boss, the Queen has sent someone to invite Concubine Yun to the palace. It's not appropriate for us to keep Concubine Yun in the mansion."
"What does it matter if I offend the Queen like this?"
As soon as Mrs. Du sat down, she began to lecture the eldest brother.
"Since mother has spoken out today, I, your son, will also speak out my thoughts."
Marquis Yong'an spoke in a serious tone.
Old Madam Du frowned, feeling that something was going to happen today.
Madam Du looked at Zhao Yunzhu and saw that she looked normal, and she secretly tensed up in her heart.
"I think mother knows how my second brother's wife got into the Liu family without me telling her." Marquis Yong'an looked a little lonely. In the past, he didn't care about anything.
Even though he knew that his mother favored his second brother, he didn't care.
The eldest brother is like a father. He inherited the title of Marquis, so it is reasonable for his mother to favor his second brother's family.
But now it’s different. His son is gone, and his mother and second brother’s family are all eyeing his title.
Now he is not dead yet, but they force him to be adopted.
What's the intention behind this?
"Mother, it's not that I don't want to adopt him. It's not even been a year since Ming'an passed away, and you and my second brother's family are forcing me to do it. Aren't you afraid that Ming'an is not doing well in the underworld?"
"Back then, Ming An was more concerned about his wife, but you, mother, forced my wife and I to kick Yunzhu out. You made the decision without my consent, and now you're forcing me to adopt her."
"Are you not afraid that your son will be disappointed by your mother's actions?"
Marquis Yong'an's voice choked several times. As a dignified marquis, he had never shed a tear in front of others, but today he didn't care at all. A hot tear slid down silently.
Mrs. Du never expected that the boss would actually bring all these things up in the open today.
It was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Zhao Yunzhu.
Madam Du was furious. She slammed her palm on the table and shouted, "Boss, what do you mean? Are you blaming mother?"
Marquis Yong'an looked at his mother's questioning but did not answer.
But she used a silent attitude to protest against the injustice done to Mrs. Du over the years.
Madam Du wiped her tears with a handkerchief, stood up, walked to Madam Du, and suddenly knelt down. "Mother-in-law, Ming'an was also raised by you. I still remember that when Ming'an was just born, you were so happy for several days because Ming'an looked so much like his father-in-law."
"You also said that you wanted Ming'an to get married early so that you could have a great-grandson soon."
"Mother-in-law, Ming'an is also the grandson you love from the bottom of your heart."
"Now that Ming'an is gone, if he knew from the underworld how you, mother-in-law, had troubled my wife and me like this, he would be so heartbroken."
Mrs. Du cried so hard that she was out of breath. She grabbed her mother-in-law's skirt tightly and complained about the grievances she and her husband had suffered these days.
Mrs. Du’s face grew darker.
