Grandmother Jia's body went limp, her heart pounding so hard she felt like she was going to throw up. She was afraid that Daiyu would hold a grudge and beat Baoyu again. This matter could easily become a major incident that would implicate the whole family. What Yu'er said made sense, and she had to listen to her.
However, she was still upset. Why did her family have to be so aggressive? Yu'er didn't have any brothers, and in the end, she still needed Bao Yu to support her. Now that she had offended him, what would she do in the future?
Hearing that it was just an apology, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled Baoyu to apologize to Daiyu.
"My dear sister, please accept my bow. It was my frivolous behavior that caused you trouble. I deserve to die."
After offering many words of apology, and with Grandmother Jia making numerous promises, Lin Daiyu finally nodded, and the matter was considered closed.
Seeing her opportunity, Wang Xifeng stopped Baoyu and asked, "Brother Bao, have you seen your mother since you came back? How is she?"
Baoyu then realized that he had been so focused on visiting his sister that he had forgotten what he had gone to the temple for, and naturally, he hadn't prayed for his mother's safety. He noticed that Wang Xifeng's gaze was somewhat evasive.
"Much better, much better."
"That's good. You came back in such a hurry, without even changing your clothes. Go on your way." After saying a few kind words, she coaxed Baoyu away.
No sooner had Baoyu left than Lady Wang and Lady Xing entered.
"It is our fault for not welcoming our distinguished guests who have come from afar."
[Oh, well said. Next time, just confess!]
[You know you were rude, and you're late anyway, isn't that embarrassing for you? What does this have to do with me? Stop trying to shift the blame.]
"No, no, the old lady explained it before. It's an old problem, you don't need to take it to heart, everyone understands."
Shen Ajiao stood up and stepped forward, looking at Madam Wang. "You old scheming woman, if you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight. You can't just say 'Amitabha' and call it a day. You're doing something shady behind the scenes. It's a shame you're from the Wang family, arriving so late. It's really embarrassing. I feel ashamed for you."
Now open your eyes wide, you old fool! I'm not your sister-in-law, I'm the wife of a high-ranking official, not a woman you can aspire to be with!
The Oscar for Best Blind Person in the World of Illiteracy, you'd better bow and greet me!
snort!
After hearing this, Madam Wang was slightly taken aback. Her lips moved, but she ultimately did not utter a rebuttal and instead bowed.
"You think you can outmaneuver me?"
Lin Daiyu: Waaah, my wife is here to protect me, my wife is so kind.
Wang Xifeng: Yin and Yang are so good! She's wanted to say this for a long time. It's so satisfying!
"Is Madam feeling better? Did Baoyu see her when he went out?" As Madam Wang was helped to sit down, Sanchun also came up to pay her respects, continuing to serve as a proper background figure.
"I see, I was just worried that our distinguished guest would be anxious, so I only said a few words."
Madam Xing was delighted to see Madam Wang make a fool of herself, thinking to herself that this new Mrs. Lin was truly a fearless newborn calf.
Shen Ajiao thought that after being insulted by her in such a roundabout way, Madam Wang should just be a background character for her, but she was unwilling to be one.
Once everyone was seated, they turned to Wang Xifeng and asked, "Have you received your monthly wages yet?"
Is she crazy? The first time we came to her door, the first thing she asked was, "Have you been paid yet?"
[What does this mean? Is it to show that she's the head of the household? Is it to belittle Feng, implying she's nothing at all?]
Or are you deliberately ignoring my Lin Baobao?
Hehehe... Let's see how I deal with her later.
"It's been sent. As Madam instructed, how could I not take it seriously? It's just that the satin Madam asked me to find couldn't be found. I suppose she must have remembered it wrong."
Madam Wang smiled slightly, nodded, and looked at Lin Daiyu, saying, "It is appropriate to take out two of them for your younger sister to have clothes made. If you're thinking about it tonight, I'll have someone go and get more."
【What do you mean by "casually"? If you look down on someone, you look down on them; if you don't want to give, you don't want to give. Even if you don't give, you're still as disgusting as me!】
【You're so old, why do you keep doing such disgusting things? Lin Baobao is still a child! How filthy!】
Wang Xifeng covered her mouth and smiled, "I've been preparing for a long time. I figured my sister would be arriving in the next few days, so I specially prepared a lot for her, including clothes, shoes, sachets, jewelry, and food."
Look at my Feng, she's so thoughtful.
Wang Xifeng: Don't you even know what level I am!
"You're too kind, Second Madam. We've come all the way to the capital, not for a couple of sets of clothes. We come from a wealthy family, who cares about such things? Wouldn't that make us a laughingstock? Haha."
I'm giving you a dirty look. Figure it out yourself. Don't embarrass yourself by coming out here. You might as well just keep pretending to be sick and stay away from the public eye. Disgusting!
"Haha, who doesn't know that the South is rich and prosperous? Uncle Lin is the salt inspector. If anyone is missing, Mrs. Lin and Sister Lin will definitely suffer."
After hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Madam Wang glanced at her while holding her tea. Wang Xifeng laughed awkwardly a few times, which was then noticed by Shen Ajiao.
[My Feng is such a good person, how did she get controlled by this sixth brother? He said he'd get a good deal, but he's just doing all the work for someone else.]
Wang Xifeng: Making wedding dresses for others? For whom?
Is it Baoyu?
With his lazy and irresponsible behavior?
Bah! He doesn't deserve it!
Let's see who dares to wear the wedding dress I made!
"Second Grandma is right. We are all relatives. Before we came, Yu'er prepared some local specialties from Yangzhou for everyone. Please don't mind them."
Grandmother Jia said with a smile, "These mischievous monkeys are getting a good deal. Our son-in-law's things are all top-quality."
Shen Ajiao followed suit, covering her mouth with her handkerchief and laughing, "Haha, of course it's good stuff."
She turned her head and glanced at Lin Daiyu casually, "Yu'er, do you remember that thing you casually picked up before you came?"
