Mrs. Qiao obviously didn't expect Mrs. Zuo to say such a thing.
"Sister-in-law, I told you last time that Dalang has a lot of ideas, and he chose the girl from the Han family himself."
"During the Lantern Festival this year, there was chaos on the streets of Putian, and Dalang happened to save the girl from the Han family. This is the fate of these children."
Madam Zuo snorted coldly when she heard this, "Sister, don't use Dalang as an excuse. What does a child know? How can it be fate? Dalang and Ning'er have grown up together!"
Seeing that Mrs. Qiao showed no sign of softening, Mrs. Zuo's mind moved slightly and she added:
"Sister, if you really don't want to cancel the marriage with the Han family, that's fine. Let Miss Han marry here and be the mistress, and our Ning'er will be the mistress!"
When these words were spoken, even Qiao Jiaojiao was speechless.
Mrs. Zuo is really selfish, stupid and blindly arrogant!
[Dad and Mom were completely defenseless against my aunt. Otherwise, how could such a stupid enemy deal a fatal blow to the Qiao family!]
Mrs. Qiao was also very angry about this. Her face suddenly darkened and she no longer looked as friendly as before.
"Sister-in-law, the rule of the Qiao family is that men will never take concubines, let alone have concubines."
"Don't talk about being big or small. Miss Han is the daughter-in-law of our Qiao family who has been engaged through clear channels. No one can change this."
"As for what you said about Ning'er crying so hard, it's all your fault, sister-in-law. How could you bring up such a thing with Ning'er before your children's marriages were decided?"
"Fortunately, Ning'er is still young. Sister-in-law, as a mother, you should talk to Ning'er as soon as possible."
Mrs. Qiao's words were not harsh, but the rejection was obvious in every word.
Madam Zuo was used to Madam Qiao's sweet words, but now seeing her humiliating herself in front of her father-in-law and husband like this, her face turned slightly pale.
"You... Zuo Hejing, you simply can't tell the difference between relatives and strangers! What's so good about that girl from the Han family that makes you defend her so much!"
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but snort coldly when she heard this.
[Sister-in-law is a very good person in the world, and Lord Han and Madam Han also have great righteousness in their hearts! ]
[When our Qiao family was in trouble, all those people who used to flatter us avoided us, and some even took advantage of our misfortune. Only my grandfather and Lord Han kept running around for the Qiao family and pleading for my father.]
[It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to help someone in need! Just based on this sincerity, Miss Han is the best sister-in-law in the world! ]
[As for aunt, you are such a black-hearted person. When you harmed my entire Qiao family, did you ever think that we are relatives? ]
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, the suppressed anger in her heart suddenly rose up.
When she first heard about this from Jiaojiao, she wanted to strangle her sister-in-law to death!
"No distinction between relatives? Marriage between children is a matter of mutual consent, so how can it be related to the distance of relationship?"
"Sister-in-law, Dalang's marriage is a foregone conclusion. No matter who comes, it can't be changed. Just give up on this idea!"
"Okay, okay—"
Madam Zuo was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed her index finger at Madam Qiao. After a while, she made up her mind and used her last trick!
"Sister, if you are really so cruel, then just pretend that I am not your sister-in-law and that Dalang does not have me as his aunt! I will not go to his wedding no matter what!"
"And I will never set foot in the gate of your Qiao Mansion again in my life!"
Mrs. Zuo said harsh words but was very proud of herself in her heart.
When Zuo Hejing was a girl, she tried to please her sister-in-law again and again. Wasn't it just because she wanted a harmonious family and good fortune?
Now that I am so determined, Zuo Hejing will definitely compromise for the sake of the reputation of the Qiao and Zuo families!
Oh, if Zuo Hejing tries to make peace in a soft voice later, she will definitely put on a good show and give her a good beating!
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her eyes lit up instantly!
[Oh my god, this is like sending a pillow just when you are sleepy! That's great! Mom, don't be soft-hearted, just agree to her! Let's see if she dares to step into our Qiao Mansion again in the future! ]
When Duke Yan heard his daughter-in-law's words, his brows suddenly frowned. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say a word.
Never mind, this is fine.
The Duke of Yan knew clearly that once he passed away, the Duke of Yan's Mansion would be completely finished.
This daughter-in-law is not only jealous in the inner house, but also arrogant and domineering outside. In fact, she is selfish and vain.
This time she made such a big fuss, probably not just for Ning'er, but also for her own so-called face.
Such relatives are harmful to Jing'er and the Qiao family, so let's just cut off the relationship.
When Zuo Heying heard what his wife said, he yelled angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about here! Have you had enough of today's trouble?"
The reason why Zuo Heying is wholeheartedly on his sister's side is because he has a brother-in-law, Qiao Zhongguo. Everyone respects him and gives him some respect, which is a real benefit!
When Madam Zuo saw her husband accusing her in public, she was filled with anger and resentment, so she simply said no.
"I'm going to make this clear today. If Dalang refuses to marry Ning'er, I will just pretend that I don't have this nephew! And I won't have this relative in the Qiao Mansion!"
This is exactly what Mrs. Qiao was waiting for!
She suddenly put on a look of grief and said with tears in her eyes:
"Sister-in-law, you are really... you are really pushing me too far! Since you look down on my relatives in the Qiao family so much, I will just not acknowledge you as my sister-in-law!"
As she said this, she turned to look at Duke Yan, and said with her hands covering her heart with disappointment:
"Father, Jing'er should ask yourself, my sister-in-law has been married into the Duke's Mansion for so many years, and Jing'er has always been sincere to her, and we are like sisters."
"But now, I have given up on this sister-in-law. Today, I will ask my father to be a witness and put an end to this matter."
After Mrs. Qiao finished speaking, she took a few steps forward, hugged Qiao Jiaojiao, and hid aside, crying secretly.
Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned.
[Um...Is my mother really sad or is she just acting?]
When Mrs. Qiao heard what Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking, she leaned in and kissed her forehead, deliberately letting Qiao Jiaojiao see the upturned corners of her mouth.
Qiao Jiaojiao:!!!
[Mother! You are the best actress at the Oscars! Mother, please accept my admiration! Look at my aunt... no, look at Madam Zuo, she is so shocked that her eyes are about to pop out of her head!]
Although Mrs. Qiao didn't know what the "熬死卡" meant, she could tell that Qiao Jiaojiao was praising her, so when she was hiding from everyone, the curve of her mouth became even bigger.
When Mrs. Zuo heard this, she was completely stunned.
Wait, no, that's not what she meant!
Moreover, shouldn't Zuo Hejing run to her sister-in-law, pull her sleeve and beg for forgiveness and marriage?
She...she can't lose the Qiao family as a relative, otherwise how can her sisters-in-law from her natal family flatter her?
Zuo Heying's expression also changed drastically. He smiled and said, "Sister, your sister-in-law is just crazy. Why are you still taking her seriously?"
Before Madam Qiao could speak, Duke Yan suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice:
"That's fine too. Let's do as my daughter-in-law said and let her cut off contact with the Qiao family."
