Chapter 379: Why did someone call my daughter back again?

The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai was also laughing so hard that her eyes were wide open.

But at this moment, the old lady of Weibei Marquis frowned and looked around: "Let's not talk about concubine's daughter. I remember that you have two legitimate daughters in your house. Where is the other one?"

Madam Jiangtai's smile froze. She cautiously glanced at the face of Madam Weibei and said with a smile, "Madam, my eldest daughter had an appointment with someone and went out. I'll have her go to your house and give you a gift later."

The expression on the old lady of Weibei Marquis's face faded: "No need. I came here suddenly. However, my visit today is related to your eldest daughter. I'd better wait here!"

Madam Jiang Taihou hid her shock and said with a forced smile, "She is just a little girl, how can she let the old lady wait... Isn't this shortening her life? Whatever the old lady wants from her, it's the same as what she wants from me."

The old lady of Weibei Marquis usually doesn't have a good temper. She said "Oh" and said lightly: "Madam Jiangtai Marquis means that I came to visit you and wanted to meet a young girl in your house. Is it wrong for me to do so?"

The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai turned pale and quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just worried that the old lady is bored waiting..."

The old lady of Weibeihou snorted.

The wife of Marquis Jiangtai was very embarrassed, but she did not dare to offend the old lady of Marquis Weibei - they were a powerless and declining marquisate, and if they were to come to the point, they were probably not even as good as the prefect. How could they dare to confront the Marquis Weibei, a powerful marquisate at its peak?

She hurriedly told the servants to go out and bring the eldest lady back.

The old lady of Weibeihou sat there with her eyes closed, looking as if she was resting.

Mrs. Jiang Taihou felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Cen Yuehua was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted into a knot.

How could she be inferior to Cen Yueyi, that old-fashioned piece of wood? !

The atmosphere in the main hall became increasingly depressing.

Madam Jiang Taihou had no choice but to turn the topic to Xingxing. She forced a smile and said, "...Isn't this Miss Yu from the Zhenxi General's residence? We met her at the residence of the Minister of War a few days ago. Do you remember her?"

Xingxing had met with the wife of Marquis Jiang Tai before, but at that time, the wife of Marquis Jiang Tai was only interested in pleasing the old lady of Marquis Wei Bei, and didn't care about Xingxing. She just responded carelessly, smiled and nodded at random, which was considered as accepting Xingxing's greeting.

Although Xingxing said she didn't care much, the old lady of Weibei Marquis felt very uncomfortable seeing this. She was treating the lady of Jiangtai Marquis coldly, and she also wanted to vent her anger on Xingxing.

At this moment, Lady Jiang Taihou acted as if she had just seen Xingxing. She was very caring towards Xingxing. She asked Xingxing what kind of tea she liked to drink and asked the maid to go to the small kitchen to bring over a few plates of cakes.

If you don’t know, you would think that Madam Jiang Taihou likes Xingxing very much!

Xingxing was actually a little embarrassed, but she did not lose her manners. She responded very politely and thanked Mrs. Jiang Taihou for her hospitality.

Because Li Chunhua had rejected the marriage proposal from the wife of the Minister of War a few days ago, Cen Yuehua was very angry and was reluctant to talk to Xingxing. However, the atmosphere in the hall was not good at the moment, and Cen Yuehua wanted to know what the relationship between Xingxing and the old lady of Weibei Marquis was. She pretended to be friendly and sat next to Xingxing, chatting casually: "Sister Yu, I heard that you were brought to the capital by General Yu from other places. Counting the days, you have been in the capital for some time. Are you used to it?"

Xing Xing glanced at Cen Yue Hua and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, my elder brothers and sisters at home have been very caring towards me, and I am pretty used to it."

Cen Yuehua took Xingxing's hand again, as if she was familiar with them. "Don't be polite to me. I'm very familiar with the capital. You've just arrived. If you want to go somewhere, just ask me to accompany you."

Xingxing's hand was held by Cen Yuehua. She felt a little stiff and was only thinking about how to pull her hand out.

Cen Yuehua seemed oblivious to Xingxing's resistance, and acted very friendly, asking her indirectly how Xingxing knew the old lady of Weibei Marquis.

Xingxing felt increasingly uncomfortable with this kind of social interaction where calculation was clearly written on everyone's face.

At this moment, the old lady of Weibeihou suddenly said, "Xingxing, come here."

Xingxing felt as if she had been pardoned. She took advantage of the situation to break free from Cen Yuehua's hand and ran to the old lady of Weibei Marquis.

The old lady of Weibei Hou asked Xingxing to sit in the seat closest to her and wiped her hands with a handkerchief herself.

Cen Yuehua's face stiffened slightly.

The old lady of Weibei Marquis said calmly: "...Miss Cen, aren't you curious about how I know Xingxing? I can tell you that Xingxing saved my life."

Cen Yuehua's face was hot and cold.

Madam Jiang Taihou smiled and tried to smooth things over: "... Miss Yu was so young, but she actually saved the old lady's life. It shows that the two of you are indeed destined to be together."

The old lady of Weibei Marquis felt that the wife of Jiangtai Marquis had finally said something pleasing to her ears, and nodded in agreement.

The wife of Marquis Jiangtai was cheered up and felt that she had vaguely found the pulse of the old wife of Marquis Weibei.

Just as she was about to say a few more words, someone from outside came in and said that the eldest daughter had returned.

Madam Jiang Taihou immediately put on a look of surprise: "...It's too rude to ask the eldest lady to come in quickly. It made the old lady wait for so long."

When Cen Yueyi came in, she was surprised when she suddenly saw Xingxing.

According to Cen Yueyi's etiquette, she would definitely greet the elders in the room first.

But Xingxing gave her a look, indicating that she should look at the wife of Marquis Jiang Tai first.

Cen Yueyi paused slightly, and saw an expression on her stepmother's face that was very familiar to her - it was obvious that she wanted to push the responsibility of some things onto her.

Cen Yueyi straightened up slightly and immediately said, "...Mother, didn't you say that you would send your daughter to my grandparents' house to bring some supplements? Why did you ask someone to call your daughter back?"

Mrs. Jiang Taihou’s face turned green!

This girl has always been very strict with etiquette. As long as someone uses her status as an elder to put pressure on her, she won't be able to say anything.

What's going on today? Where are the rules?! Why are you trying to talk?!

How could he expose this matter in front of the old lady of Weibei Marquis? !

The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai was in disarray!

Cen Yuehua was about to say something indignantly, but Cen Yueyi had already politely bowed to the old lady of Weibei Marquis and said, "... I've met the old lady. Yueyi is late and has kept the old lady waiting for a long time. It's Yueyi's fault."

But at this moment, everyone knew that Cen Yueyi's words of taking the blame on herself were just to show that she was knowledgeable!

Mrs. Jiang Taihou was so angry that her teeth were chattering!

This damn girl!
