Madam Wang's mask nearly shattered on the ground. She sneered inwardly, "I'm not here to pick you up. Don't push your luck."
"Hehe, it's just a recurring headache. I took some medicine this morning and I'm feeling much better now."
Shen Ajiao's eyes darted around, and she stepped forward to take Madam Wang's arm. She gave Lin Daiyu a wink, and Lin Daiyu immediately took Madam Wang's other arm. The two of them, one on each side, walked inside together intimately.
Madam Wang was dumbfounded. Their relationship wasn't that good. What was going on?
"What is Mrs. Lin doing?"
Shen Ajiao smiled brightly, "I'm afraid Mrs. Jia's old problem will flare up again, and her headache will be troublesome. Why don't we go in together, haha."
You old sly fox, do you think we don't know what you're doing here? Ha, how annoying! Anyone can slip up a dig. Just wait until your sister arrives, and you two will be furious.
Shen Ajiao already knew about it when Madam Wang wrote to the Xue family. She didn't want to come, but she was tempted...
Sure enough, when Madam Wang returned after sending Shen Ajiao inside, her good sister had already arrived with her entourage and was still angry.
Madam Wang was also helpless; wasn't this just a coincidence?
It's all that bitch Shen Ajiao's fault!
Xue Pan sulked to himself. He had long heard that there were more fun things to do and better food to eat in the capital than in Jinling, which was why he had insisted on coming to the capital. But he hadn't expected his mother to insist on some sisterly affection, saying that since his uncle wasn't around, he should stay at his aunt and uncle's house.
It's not like he doesn't have a place to live, but he insists on staying at his aunt's house. Fine, he can stay there, but he clearly told her in advance, so why didn't anyone come to pick him up when he got to the door?
What's wrong with an old gossip woman standing at the door, all smiles and fawning?
Do you look down on his family?
He doesn't want to live there yet!
Upon seeing Madam Wang, he called her "Auntie," then turned away, sulking. Even when his mother, Aunt Xue, pulled him to greet Madam Wang, he paid no attention, wearing a long face.
Aunt Xue was also angry, but since they were family, she smiled and explained, "This boy gets carsick. He saw something fun on the way and insisted on buying it. I wouldn't give it to him, and he's still angry with me."
Madam Wang's face softened a bit as she warmly greeted Aunt Xue, though inwardly she was furious. It was one thing for an outsider to give her attitude, but who was Xue Pan? How dare a junior humiliate her in front of her! If it weren't for her sister's sake, she would have beaten him up!
Xue Pan was angry, and his mother was angry too. But she calmed down when she saw his aunt. His younger sister was the same. It was his aunt's fault for not being good, so why couldn't he be angry?
Xue Baochai glanced down at her brother and shook her head. Xue Pan always listened to his younger sister. Although she was two years younger than him, she was not only better at studying but also better at business. He could ignore his mother's words, but he still had to listen to his sister. Today was the first time their family had come to their aunt and uncle's house, so they couldn't cause any trouble.
Seeing that her son's complexion had improved, Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Did we have guests at home today?"
Madam Wang's face stiffened, and she nodded. "As you know, it's the old lady's granddaughter who's visiting."
Aunt Xue was not angry when she heard this from Madam Wang. She smiled and said, "Guests are all here, we can't be impolite. Sister, please go quickly."
As Chen Ajiao watched Grandmother Jia laughing and joking with the younger generation, even the three sisters of the Jia family came out to make a few jokes. Lin Daiyu's little face was flushed, making her look extremely cute.
Lin Baobao is so cute, I love her.
[My Feng is indeed alluring and graceful, haha, I'm so envious! Jia Lian is blind, he doesn't want such a beautiful wife, he's always looking for something better.]
Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat. What did Mrs. Lin know?
Thinking that Jia Lian had indeed asked her for some money these past few days, saying that he was making arrangements for Aunt Xue's trip to the capital, she was afraid there was something wrong with it.
She turned and called Ping'er over, intending to ask her to go and check on things, but then she heard, "Ping'er? Isn't she practically one of Jia Lian's people? Although she's good to me, Feng, she's ultimately on Jia Lian's side. Alas, they're all pitiful."
Wang Xifeng raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over Ping'er with a scrutinizing look. Ping'er's heart skipped a beat. "Why is Grandma looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you to go to my room and get a few shoe patterns to give to Mrs. Lin. Go and take a look."
Ping'er nodded and then withdrew.
[Gone? Poor Feng, she found such a scumbag, and the people around her are even infatuated with him and covering for her. Pah!]
[It's one thing for the man to be bad, but my brother from my own family is no better. He ruined my child. I'm so pitiful. My good days are numbered in just a few years.]
Wang Xifeng nearly dropped the handkerchief in her hand, a chill running through her body. Would her brother from her maternal family harm her child?
In the years since she got married, she finally had a daughter. Raising her was hard and only she knew the bitterness she felt. And then her family ruined her.
Wang Ren! You're not human!
But why would her brother harm her daughter?
And what did Mrs. Lin mean by saying there wouldn't be many good years?
Could it be that the Wang or Jia families are not good?
Wang Xifeng was extremely anxious and wanted to grab Madam Lin by the neck and ask her what was going on, but when she saw Madam Lin looking at her with bright eyes, she felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and her whole body went cold.
Whether it's something happening to the Wang family or the Jia family, she can't escape it.
No, she couldn't just sit and wait to die. Her daughter was still young, and she had to protect her. She was the only one left in the family!
She glanced around and found nothing amiss, secretly pleased that only she could hear her; otherwise, she would have lost all face today!
Oh, what a tragedy!
Lin Daiyu glanced at Wang Xifeng. "Such a good person as my second sister-in-law, yet she didn't have a good life?"
Fortunately, only the wife could hear what she was saying, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble it would have caused.
Since the last time she had received favor from Madam Lin, and had heard Madam Lin’s occasional crazy remarks, San Chun was afraid, but she also thought that Madam Lin was a good person. Today she heard Ping’er’s favoritism towards Jia Lian and didn’t think much of it, but she would hear that she wouldn’t have many good days in the future.
What's the meaning?
My second sister-in-law didn't have many good days, how can they possibly live like this?
Yingchun is such a dull child; she doesn't even get angry when the servants call her a blockhead. If it were me, I would have slapped them across the face long ago. They've got some nerve to bully me!
Yingchun: Mrs. Lin is right, but I'm timid and don't dare to cause trouble. They are all people around me, and I have some consideration for them, so I can't say anything.
Now even Mrs. Lin knows! This is unacceptable! I can't let people bully me like this!
Tan Chun: I tried to persuade her, but it was no use.
Tan Chun is a smart, insightful, and resourceful girl. It's a pity she married the wrong person and ended up marrying far away. Perhaps it's for the best...
Tan Chun: Married to the wrong person? What could she do? In this household, if she didn't please her stepmother, she'd rather be dead. Marrying far away was fine; at least she could leave.
Go out? It's just moving from one courtyard to another. Who can help me in this family?
Waaaaah...
Mrs. Lin, please help me~
Do you cherish spring? Amitabha!
Xichun?
How come she only had Amitabha Buddha left?
What will happen to her?
Becoming a monk?
she…
She doesn't want to!
