Chapter 329: Stimulation
I heard that the old lady and Madam Chen were taken back to Gao Yan'er's in-laws' home, and were assigned maids and old women to serve them, but they no longer had the awareness of living under someone else's roof.
The old lady and Mrs. Chen always believed that Duke Ding was innocent and must have been wrongly accused.
Then, Gao Yaner's in-laws are not just providing timely help, but just adding icing on the cake.
So, my wife and Mrs. Chen started to make trouble.
Today I felt that the food was not exquisite enough, so I ordered a feast from Louwailou, such as Watching Flowers in the Rain, Nine Treasures and Nine Collections, Pearls from the Ocean, Clear Soup Tofu, Crab Bowl with Hibiscus, Dripping Guanyin, Glazed Fish Bones, Embracing Carp, Pearls Cast in the Dark, and Dishes from Dinghu Lake.
Ming Geer felt that the jewelry was not gorgeous enough, so he pointed out the jadeite inlays from Miaohuatang, including the gold filigree and ruby-inlaid double phoenix jadeite step-shake, the silver gilt filigree and jadeite flower sachet, the silver-plated gold-inlaid jadeite bamboo butterfly earring hairpin with pearls, the silver-plated gold-inlaid jadeite coral fairy riding a phoenix earring, the filigree and jeweled jadeite twined flower agate bracelet, the gold filigree and jadeite lotus flower hairpin with jewels, the gold filigree and jadeite longevity flame knot with oriental pearls, the silver-plated gold-inlaid jadeite and pearl double dragon long hairpin, the jadeite descendants pattern head flower, the silver-plated gold-inlaid jadeite beaded tassel, and so on.
The latter felt that jade articles were not delicate enough, so he collected the finished products of Pu Yu Ji, such as the emerald carved mountain basin with a picture of crane and deer in spring, the agate carved bowl with a lipped rim, the white jade carved eggplant-shaped washbasin, the white jade carved pot with a goat's head and melon-edged edge, the white jade carved mountain basin with a picture of maids under the tung tree, the jasper carved pen holder with a picture of elegant gathering in the Western Garden, the jasper inlaid with white jade and a dragon pattern, the agate carved flower vase in the shape of plum, bamboo and pine, the agate cleverly carved lotus and mandarin duck, the emerald carved chime with the pattern of elephant in peace and prosperity, the green jade carved stove with an animal face pattern, the Venus glass peach-shaped water container, and so on.
Poor Gao Yan'er almost emptied her dowry in order to avoid gossip from her in-laws.
These dowries were added by Princess Pingyang when Duke Dingguo was still alive.
Her mother, Mrs. Chen, was selfish and would rather spend all her money than leave it to her, a money-loser.
Thinking of this, Gao Yan'er felt a little discouraged, but she couldn't just leave it alone.
However, the old lady and Madam Chen kept talking about being unfilial, which made Gao Yan'er shed many tears secretly.
Therefore, when the imperial edict declaring Duke Dingguo innocent was released, Gao Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the old lady and Mrs. Chen were very dissatisfied after hearing a lot of unpleasant gossip, so they ran to her in-laws and had a big argument, which made her husband quite dissatisfied with her.
Hey, Gao Yan'er, is there any other way except swallowing her anger?
The old lady and Madam Chen returned to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, thinking that there would be a flood of rewards waiting for them.
After all, Duke Dingguo was innocent and needed compensation.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a few days, he realized that Duke Dingguo was innocent, but Princess Pingyang was guilty. Not only could Chen Ming'an not become the crown prince, but his legs were also crippled. It was really shameful that he had to hide with a princess of a fallen country to recuperate.
The old lady and Madam Chen were originally going to give up, but the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was short of money and life was not comfortable. It was even worse than the few days they spent at Gao Yan'er's in-laws' house. This was really a slap in the face.
Therefore, the old lady and Mrs. Chen really wanted to go to Liuting Tower.
Why are there operas performed in Liutinglou every day and tea and cakes provided all the time?
However, Tumi stood like a door god, not allowing the old lady and Mrs. Chen to enter.
It was not until Tu Mi went out to buy things that the old lady and Mrs. Chen became active again.
The old lady and Mrs. Chen believed that they were implicated by Princess Pingyang, so the son should pay for the mother's debt, and Chen Ming'an should compensate them for a large sum of money for their losses, and also provide them with care and support until the end of their lives.
