This Madam Luo and Liu were once close friends. When she returned to the capital this time, she heard that Liu was exiled. It was because she sent people to assassinate Shen Nian and his wife, but failed in the end, so she was exiled by the emperor.
She knew everything about the struggle in this big family mansion, so naturally she didn't think that Liu had done anything wrong.
I just thought she was not as skilled as her opponent and was countered.
So when I saw Xia Tian this time, I wanted to vent my anger for my former best friend.
"Second Madam Shen, how long has it been? You don't even call me sister-in-law?" Madam Luo sneered.
"Liu made a mistake and was punished by the emperor. Madam Luo, do you think the emperor was wrong to punish her?" The second wife did not give in to her at all.
"Ahem!" Madam Luo coughed lightly, her expression somewhat unnatural. "Of course the Emperor wouldn't punish me wrongly. I just thought that since you're sisters-in-law after all, you shouldn't forget about it so quickly, right?"
When she returned to Beijing this time, she was surprised to hear that her old friend had been exiled.
After all, who would be exiled because of the fighting among their family members?
Even if there is a mistake, just punish him. There is no need to make such a big fuss, right?
I hadn't seen Liu much in recent years, and our relationship wasn't as good as before. When I heard about what happened to Liu, I was just shocked, but didn't think anything of it.
Just now, she came in and saw Xia Tian, Madam Shen Er and others sitting there chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened, and she felt uncomfortable.
That’s why what happened just now happened.
"Whether he forgets or not is our family affair. Mrs. Luo should not worry about it." The second wife replied indifferently.
"Oh! I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, so I was a little shocked to hear about this. That's why I wanted to come and see what kind of powerful person could even drive my mother-in-law away?"
Mrs. Luo still showed no intention of restraining herself and continued talking to herself.
"Mrs. Luo, please be careful with your words!" Xia Tian also said in a cold voice, "Your words make people think that you have objections to the emperor's final decision."
"I don't think so." Mrs. Luo quickly denied it.
If the emperor knew about this, wouldn't she be in big trouble?
"If you don't have any opinions, then don't mention them here. Otherwise, it will be hard not to make associations."
"How can you, a junior, talk to your elders like that?" Mrs. Luo was a little annoyed.
"I'm just young, not stupid." Xia Tian also sneered, "Mrs. Luo is so obviously targeting me, yet you still want me to respect you like an elder. Do you think you have more face than others?"
"You!" Madam Luo pointed at Xia Tian, furious. "You're from a rural background and you're uneducated, so you call yourself uneducated. Who gave you the guts to talk to me like that?"
"If Madam Luo wants to act like an elder, she can go home and do it!" Xia Tian said in a bad tone, "It's not Madam Luo's turn to manage the people in my Wu'an Marquis Mansion."
"What do you mean? No matter whose family they are from, younger generations must respect their elders. Just because you are the wife of the prince of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, can you disrespect your elders?" A lady behind Mrs. Luo asked back.
"What? Ladies, are you trying to take advantage of your seniority?" Xia Tian asked in a bad tone.
Mrs. Luo paused, and before she could respond, Xia Tian continued, "Mrs. Luo, why didn't you greet my old lady first when you came over?
Is this a case of not seeing the elders? Or is it a case of deliberate disrespect for the elders?
My old lady and other elders are here. Mrs. Luo wants to help them discipline the younger generation in the family. Have you communicated with my elders?
Have my elders agreed? Or will Madam Luo be the head of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion in the future? "
Mrs. Luo's face turned pale and blue after hearing what Xia Tian said.
Feeling it would be embarrassing to leave now, he remembered something, "Aren't you great at drawing portraits? Then draw one for me too, so I can see how good you are."
"Fifty thousand taels!" Xia Tian stretched out a hand and gestured.
"What?" Mrs. Luo was stunned.
"A portrait, fifty thousand taels!" Xia Tian repeated.
"Are you robbing?" Mrs. Luo's voice suddenly rose.
"That's the price, paint if you want or not!" Xia Tian snorted coldly.
"Hmph, are you crazy about the money?" Mrs. Luo turned pale with anger.
Xia Tian snorted and turned his head away.
The two ladies who came with Mrs. Luo saw many people around whispering and watching the fun, so they quickly pulled Mrs. Luo away.
"Hmph! I thought you were so sharp-tongued? Why are you so bad when it comes to other people?" A sarcastic voice sounded beside him.
Xia Tian turned around and saw that it was County Master Yunying whom he had not seen for a long time.
County Master Yunying had just been watching from a distance for a long time, and now she finally couldn't help but walk over.
"What? County Lady Yunying thinks you are better than me?" Xia Tian asked back bluntly.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you can only talk with me. Won't you get taught a lesson if you meet Madam Luo?" County Lady Yunying was not angry.
He snorted coldly and sat on the chair next to Xia Tian.
"Is County Lady Yunying planning to sit here and watch the show?" Xia Tian was curious. Every time she saw County Lady Yunying, her nose wasn't a nose and her eyes weren't eyes. Why was she sitting down this time?
Aren’t you afraid of quarreling?
"Do you think everyone is as idle as you?" County Master Yunying rolled her eyes.
"Then what is the county lady doing sitting here? Want to quarrel?"
"This county lady doesn't have the time for that!"
"I think the county lady is quite free!"
"Virtue!" Yunying hesitated, "I have something to talk to you about!"
Get a chill in summer!
"If you have something to say, just say it. It's better if nothing happens!"
"I want you to draw a portrait of me." County Lady Yunying quickly stated her purpose.
