Chapter 59 Qiao Xianglan's Change
He is old and will have to retire in a few years.
Unexpectedly, I almost lost my reputation in my later years.
"Your family has a scandal and you didn't know how to cover it up, and you made such a big fuss!" He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. "I have been an official for so many years, and this is the first time I have been pointed at my nose and scolded. I don't know how to judge people."
Boss Song was shocked on the spot. He really didn't expect things to develop to this point.
Wasn’t the sunset problem solved? I had already given gifts to the county magistrate. How did it turn out like this?
Many thoughts raced through his mind.
But the other party did not give him a chance to speak and let him leave after speaking.
The cold wind outside the office blew in his face. Boss Song was not stupid and quickly figured out the key.
He was bullied by someone, but who was the person who bullied him?
When Old Lady Song learned that her eldest son's promotion had failed, she was one step further away from the glorious imperial decree, and she made a fuss in the main hall for several days.
She kept cursing, cursing the people who harmed Boss Song, cursing Wanxia, and also cursing Li Yao. In her opinion, if it weren't for Li Yao, there would be no Wanxia, and none of these bad things would happen.
Her son was promoted smoothly.
Anyway, the mistakes must be someone else's, not hers or her son's.
Li Yao was scolded so badly that he was spitting blood. For several days in a row, Old Lady Song tortured him in various ways.
Sometimes she said her legs and feet were uncomfortable and asked Li Yao to take care of her personally. Li Yao didn't dare to make excuses at this moment and had to do it himself. As a result, Mrs. Song's strength was sometimes too strong and sometimes too weak. Anyway, she felt uncomfortable everywhere and no matter what she did, it was not right.
She soon realized that Old Lady Song was not feeling unwell at all, but was deliberately torturing people.
She was filled with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.
Now there is a rift in her relationship with Boss Song. If Old Lady Song acts like a troublemaker again and speaks ill of her in front of Boss Song, I'm afraid their relationship will be completely over.
So no matter how Old Lady Song tried to make trouble, Li Yao gritted his teeth and accepted it.
After she married into the Song family, she had always taken good care of herself. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she lived a life of luxury. She had never suffered such torture.
But within three days, his originally fair face began to turn sallow due to severe lack of rest and the depression in his heart.
She was feeling upset, everything was going wrong, and she was not in a good mood towards the people below her.
Ling'er, as her personal maid, suffered a lot.
The dignified and friendly Mrs. Song in the past is gone. Now, whenever the subordinates do something wrong, Li Yao will beat and scold them to vent his anger.
"Oh, my sister-in-law has been in a bad mood recently. I heard that the cook in the kitchen was called in and scolded for an hour because the food was a little too salty. I always feel that...my sister-in-law is no different from us." Qiao Xianglan chatted with her daughter about what happened recently while doing needlework.
"We are all women of the Song family. Who is more noble than the other? If you ask me, it's just that my mother has a very good temper. In the past, my aunt always pushed things onto my mother."
Looking back, Qiao Xianglan always felt inferior to Li Yao, so even though she knew about many things, she never took them to heart. She felt that her status was low and it was pointless to care.
Now her thoughts have changed a lot.
Song Ci knew what she was thinking and continued, "It is people with good moral character who should be respected and courteous. For example, if someone has bad behavior or bad moral character, you don't need to give in to them."
Qiao Xianglan smiled, but before she could say anything, she heard someone coming to the door.
The mother and daughter looked at the same time and saw Ling'er standing at the door. There was a faint bruise under her eyes, and her tone was not good. "Third Madam, our Madam asked you to come over. She has something to tell you."
Song Ci put down the book in her hand with a half-smile, "Aunt, if you have something to say, why don't you just tell me directly? You have to call my mother over first. Is it... something that cannot be revealed?"
Ling'er: "You, how can you say that? Our eldest lady is your elder after all."
"That day, Wanxia said that her aunt put her in our third room to monitor us and torture us. I, Song Ci, can't stand such an elder."
Seeing that she was so rude, Ling'er's face darkened and she turned to look at Qiao Xianglan.
This Third Young Miss is becoming more and more evil. She has really changed her personality and is hard to control. But even if my daughter can't control her, there is still the Third Madam.
She was known for her soft temper and hard work. She was also very afraid of her wife, so Qiao Xianglan would not dare to disobey her wife.
"Third Madam, you'd better come with me. Our Madam really needs you for something."
Qiao Xianglan hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Xiaoci, Mommy will go and take a look. What if your aunt is really in trouble?"
This time Song Ci did not refute, because she also wanted to see what Li Yao was going to do this time.
"Okay, Mom, please go and come back soon."
Qiao Xianglan nodded, then followed Ling'er.
Ling'er walked in front, and Qiao Xianglan followed all the way to the main room. Ling'er did not stop and actually walked all the way to the inner room.
"This, isn't this my sister-in-law's room?" She had never been there before.
Ling'er nodded, a little impatiently, "Yes. Our wife is waiting for you inside."
This Third Lady is still the same as before, timid and petty, not presentable enough.
The light in the room was a little dim, and the doors and windows were closed. When I walked in, I saw a figure lying on the bed.
Seeing the two people come in, she propped herself up and sat up.
"Third sister-in-law, come and sit down."
Qiao Xianglan was somewhat flattered. Her elder sister-in-law had never been so easy to talk to before. She usually just talked about things without being polite. She could even be considered indifferent.
"Sister-in-law, Ling'er told me that you asked me to come here for something."
Li Yao smiled, his face a bit weak. The sunlight slanting in through the cracks in the window showed that Qiao Xianglan seemed to have gained some weight these days. Qiao Xianglan used to be thin and pale, even a little sallow due to fatigue.
But now she has a plump face, red lips and white teeth, and her complexion is very good.
She secretly hated herself in her heart, wondering why Qiao Xianglan, that bitch, should have a good life while she suffered.
She should be the one serving and being tortured by Old Lady Song. And Old Third Song really has no vision. He treats a girl from a merchant family as a treasure.
Holding back the resentment in her heart, she looked at Ling'er and said, "Go serve tea to the Third Madam. And bring some snacks."
Ling'er was surprised for a few seconds, wondering why the lady was so polite to the Third Lady today, but she still obediently went to get tea and snacks.
But this action scared Qiao Xianglan. What was going on?
This hot tea and this snack have never been seen before.
She was panicking and suddenly remembered what her daughter had said not long ago, pointing at the food and snacks that had improved in recent days.
