The old lady had nothing to do in the backyard at all. It was just the Third Lady who coaxed her and amused her.

"Mother, you have to be the last one to appear, so that those people can see your elegance."

The old lady laughed and said, "I am so old now, how can I still be charming?"

"It has nothing to do with age. Age is just a number to you. The older you get, the more dignified you become. Besides, your father is also a famous figure in the academy."

"Which of those ladies wouldn't want to send their children to the academy to study and let their father give them some guidance? The glory of the father is also your style."

The old lady laughed and patted her twice: "You are the only one who is sweet-mouthed and talkative."

"My daughter-in-law is just telling the truth."

As he was speaking, the old woman came in quickly.

"Old Madam, Third Madam, Madam Cao is here."

"Oh?" The old lady held out her hand, and the third lady hurriedly helped her up. "Since Madam Cao is here, I have to go to the front hall."

The old woman continued, "Madam, Madam Cao hasn't entered the mansion yet. She said...she wants all the masters in the mansion to go out and line up to welcome us."

The old lady was startled. Although the governor's wife was of high status, it shouldn't be like this, right?

The third lady was also puzzled: "Did she say that?"

"That's exactly what she said, Madam Third. However," the old woman hesitated again, "when she said welcome, she didn't mean welcome her personally."

The Third Lady frowned and urged: "What's going on? Why are you dawdling? Tell me now!"

The old woman quickly told him what happened in front of the door.

He did not forget to add fuel to the fire: "Princess Mingzhao is so angry. She scolds me as soon as she opens her mouth. She also mocks that no one in the Wu family can take on responsibilities and that they are all useless people who can't even lift a knife."

"As for that princess and madam, there's no need to mention them. They have such a stinky face and they even talk nonsense. They are so arrogant."

The old lady laughed out of anger: "Well, you are looking down on my Wu family! I respect her as a princess appointed by the emperor, so I sent her a letter. You really think you are a big shot."

The Third Lady immediately agreed: "That's right. We are from a family of scholars. Why would we carry swords and guns? Who is as vulgar as her?"

The old lady sat back down heavily, her face looking extremely ugly.

"Don't be angry, mother. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt."

The Third Madam rolled her eyes and said, "How about this, mother? I will go to greet them. Your daughter-in-law is definitely not as good as you, but she is also the master of the house. I will greet them on your behalf, which will give them enough face."

The old lady thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, go and have a look. After all, Madam Cao is still here."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law understands."

The third lady went out with her maid.

The maid whispered, "Madam, why do you want to do such a thankless job? I heard from the old woman that the princess is not easy to marry."

"Who wants to be with her? I value Madam Cao. I went to the governor's mansion to plead for her before, which was really a thankless task. The eldest brother went there and was really embarrassed. He didn't even see her face."

The Third Madam sneered, "That idiot is incapable of doing anything. She thinks that just because her husband has the word 'chang' in his name, he really has the status of the eldest son? There is also the word 'shu' before 'chang'. This word is enough to disgust the old lady for the rest of her life, and also make the couple unable to hold their heads up high for the rest of their lives."

The maid flattered, "Of course, everyone in this mansion doesn't know that the old lady is the boss, but in fact, you are the one who is worried about and in charge of everything. The eldest wife wants to take charge, but who takes her seriously?"

The Third Madam adjusted her hairpin and said, "This time, we will meet Madam Cao and have a chance to really meet and build a good relationship."

"Madam is wise."

When the master and servant went outside, the third lady saw Yan Ruyu at first sight.

She was secretly amazed, thinking to herself, this is the Princess of Zhennan? No wonder she can be a princess, her appearance is really good.

But it's a pity.

He is a fallen person, not even as good as a chicken.

She looked away and fixed her eyes on Madam Cao.

Today, Madam Cao wore a royal blue dress, which was dignified and noble. She wore a cloak of the same color on the outside, with a grey fur collar, the front of which was half rolled up, and the hem was embroidered with a wave pattern in gold and silver thread.

The third lady's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Greetings, Madam Cao. I am sorry for not coming to greet you."

After saying that, he stood up and nodded to everyone with a smile: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, come in and warm up!"

Madam Cao looked at her and asked with a half-smile: "Who are you?"

"My name is Wu Zou, and I'm the legal wife of the third branch of the Wu family." The third lady replied with a smile.

"The third room?" Madam Cao thought for a moment and turned her head to look at Nanny Yan. "Who sent the invitation?"

Nanny Yan said: "Madam, it's Old Madam Wu. The Wu family has three branches. The second wife died early due to illness, which is a pity."

Madam Cao nodded and looked at the Third Madam again: "Madam Wu is old, and I am still younger. It is indeed wrong to let her come out to greet us, but does this First Madam have no time either? Or does she look down on me?"

The Third Madam's smile froze slightly. "Madam Cao misunderstood. My eldest sister-in-law is indeed busy. Today, we are admiring the flowers. My eldest sister-in-law is cleaning the flower shed with the gardeners. It is really not appropriate for her to come to greet us."

There was a flash of sarcasm in Yan Ruyu's eyes. This was the Third Madam.

It was she who sent people to the dim sum shop, and it was she who came out now to show her identity, and it was she who seemed to have no intention of belittling Madam Wu.

This Wu family, they call themselves a family of scholars, what kind of shit, there are only a few rooms in the inner house, yet they are fighting like this.

This kind of family will fail sooner or later.

Madam Cao was surprised and asked, "What? Madam is taking the gardener to clean up the flower shed? Does your Wu family have no servants? And you let a master do this? And with the gardener? I have never heard of it."

The third wife only wanted to belittle the eldest brother, but she didn't expect Mrs. Cao to directly rise to the level of the entire Wu family.

"No, it's not..."

"I saw that the maid who came out to greet me just now was quite idle, and she didn't even go to clean up the flower shed. Besides, you guys sent out the invitation a long time ago, but now I'm at the door, and the flower shed hasn't been cleaned up yet. What's going on? Do you not want me to come? Are you deliberately neglecting me?"

"In that case, I don't care about looking at any flowers. Everyone has seen the same ones. Let's go back home!"

After Mrs. Cao finished her speech, she turned around and was about to leave. The Third Lady was completely stunned by her words.

If Madam Cao really passed away like this, how would she explain to the old lady?

All the guests inside combined are not enough to accommodate Mrs. Cao.

She quickly stopped him and said, "Madam, calm down. I was wrong. Please bear with me."

"I can't bear it. You said something wrong, did something wrong, why should I bear it?"

Madam Cao said to Yan Ruyu, "Princess, Madam, Princess, let's go. I'll invite you to have tea somewhere else."

Several people nodded in agreement and cooperated very well. Mrs. Cao was in the middle of a show at the moment, so they had to fully cooperate.

The eldest lady felt itchy after watching this, as she hadn't satisfied her craving for drama for a long time.

I don’t know if I can get any role today.
