Chapter 66 The cousin is very angry
Mrs. Cai was lying on the bed resting at the moment. She had just eaten a bowl of bird's nest and was talking to the nanny beside her in a happy mood.
During the conversation, they talked about the unpopular child.
When she thought of the child, Cai frowned unhappily.
"Is that little bastard still spouting weird nonsense? If he keeps on talking, I'll beat him up. He's not my biological child. I've been feeding him well, and he's actually trying to murder the baby in my belly."
Aunt Zhang said, "Last time, he was almost discovered fighting with the dog for food, and now he's locked up in the small kitchen. After all, he was adopted. Although you don't have to feel sad, he can't die in our house."
"Besides, the old lady knows about raising the child in your care, Grandma. We can't go too far."
Nanny Zhang said this not because she was kind, but because she was afraid that the eldest young lady would kill the child directly, and then she would be in trouble with the old lady.
"That's fine, just let him out in a few days. But keep an eye on him and don't come anywhere near me."
Cai secretly cursed in her heart, thinking that it was really unlucky to raise such a useless boy.
Nanny Zhang responded, and at this moment, the maid who was walking the dog in the garden ran in panic.
"Madam, something bad has happened..."
Hongmei, the head maidservant serving Cai, stepped forward and held the little maidservant down.
"Why are you yelling so anxiously? Don't you know that grandma is taking care of the baby? Be careful, you little rascal, if you upset the baby, I will tear you apart."
The little maidservant immediately shouted anxiously, "Sister Hongmei, something really happened. The young mistress's black gold has bitten and killed my cousin's golden rabbit. My cousin's new pet, it wasn't long ago that it was killed by the black gold. I have to go find the old lady now."
Cai lifted the curtain and got out of bed.
"Why do you say that Wu Jin bit my cousin's golden rabbit to death? But who saw it?"
The little maid said, "My cousin is here, and Aunt Qiao is here too."
Cai frowned: "Why would this Concubine Qiao go to the garden?"
Aunt Qiao is a notoriously insignificant person in the Marquis's mansion. She never fights for anything and often makes snacks in her own room.
Cai naturally looked down on those foods. She didn't believe that the delicacies prepared by the kitchen of the Marquis' Mansion could be compared with the snacks made by her concubine Qiao.
Hongmei was standing nearby and whispered, "I heard Aunt Qiao has become obsessed with raising turtles recently and often walks them in the garden. I think she bumped into him."
There was no news in the Marquis' Mansion that Aunt Qiao and the cousin had a good relationship.
Cai originally thought that if her black gold snake bit her cousin's golden rabbit to death and no one else saw it, she would just pretend she was unaware and shirk responsibility.
But... why is Aunt Qiao still here?
"Madam, my cousin has gone to see the old lady."
Cai asked the maid to help her dress, and then hurried to the old lady's courtyard in front. As soon as she arrived at the main hall, she heard her cousin Li Yuan sitting in front of the old lady.
Cai changed her attitude and walked forward quickly, crying.
"Grandma, your granddaughter-in-law is here to apologize to you."
As he said that, he knelt down on the ground.
The old lady frowned as she looked at Cai, who was kneeling on the ground. "What do you mean by this? Why are you kneeling on the ground for no reason? Stand up and talk. You said you were pregnant, so who told you to kneel down? Stand up and talk..."
Li Yuan looked at Cai with cold eyes.
"Sister-in-law really put on a good show. I, the lost beloved master, didn't say anything, but sister-in-law first used a self-torture trick. Now you are pregnant and kneeling on the ground to admit your fault. Even if I have a great grievance, now it is my fault."
"Auntie, what can I say now? If I hadn't frightened you, I really wanted to show you that my poor golden rabbit has been torn into pieces by my sister-in-law's dogs."
Li Yuan was calm and composed, but after he finished speaking, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
Her feelings for Golden Rabbit were not that deep, but she just couldn't get over this.
The old lady said nothing.
Cai was the first to start crying out of grievance.
"Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law is pregnant and has been staying indoors. She really doesn't know anything about what's going on outside."
In other words, I own the dog, but the fact that it bit my cousin's golden rabbit has nothing to do with me.
Li Yuan said coldly, "Since my cousin's wife has said so, then let those dogs pay for my golden rabbit's life. Besides, my cousin's wife is pregnant now. Keeping so many dogs around will have a bad influence on both you and the baby in her belly."
Cai was only thinking about shirking her responsibilities and didn't even think about the dog that was protecting her.
But when Cai heard Li Yuan say that he wanted to kill her Wu Jin, she naturally felt unhappy.
Before she became pregnant, the one she loved the most was Wu Jin, whom she raised like her own son.
"Cousin, these are several lives, how cruel you are! I'm pregnant now, and I can't stand the sight of blood. I beg you, please don't kill any of these lives. It's like accumulating blessings for the child in my belly."
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan is also a tough person.
"Your dog is a life, but my golden rabbit isn't one, right? How dare you ask me not to kill? You've killed quite a few, haven't you? It's your business if you want to accumulate merit for the child in your belly. As an outsider, I can't help you do that."
Li Yuan seemed aggressive, but in fact, what he said was quite kind.
Yun Qiao, who was pulled to the witness stand, gave her a thumbs up in her heart.
The old lady also felt that there was no room for bloodshed in the Marquis' Mansion nowadays, but she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't help Li Yuan vent his anger, because after all, she was her niece's granddaughter.
"Sheng'er's family, send all the dogs you have to the farm. You should focus on your health now and don't think about cats or dogs."
All Cai could do was to save the dog's life. Now that he was sent to the farm, it was considered good enough.
She didn't dare say more, for fear that if she said too much, the dog would lose its life.
I could only follow the old lady's wishes and send the dog to the farm.
Although Li Yuan was unhappy, she didn't say anything. Cai was helped away. The eldest wife, Yu, also came and said that it was just a pet. She said that she paid for the price of her cousin's golden rabbit and bought one...
Li Yuan said coldly, "My Li family has more money than your Yu family. If I want something, I will buy it myself. Why do I need you to buy it for me?"
Yu was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she was speechless.
Yu's family was poor, and she had little say in her husband's family, so she wanted to find a daughter-in-law for her son who came from a wealthy family, not just a good family.
Yun Qiao watched a play, and after it was over she left with Li Yuan.
"Is this Cai sick? I didn't say anything, but she knelt down first."
"Mrs. Qiao, you've been in the Marquis' Mansion for quite some time. You should know the first wife's family better. Are all the members of this family sick, arrogant, and unreasonable?"
What made Li Yuan even more angry was why her aunt was so tolerant of the eldest wife.
