The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad
Chapter 443 Looking for trouble
Three days later, the capital city was sunny and cloudless, with a gentle spring breeze blowing.
Three horse-drawn carriages drove out of the Tang Mansion, with Tang Zhongbai riding in front to lead the way, and the group headed south of the city.
The Tang family arrived early, and the old lady of Chengyang Marquis's mansion had them quickly invited to her courtyard and served them good tea. The wife of Chengyang Marquis took Liu Ying and Jiang Muxia to the back garden to have a sneak peek, and the old lady in the house pulled Mrs. Tang to chat about family matters.
"Your granddaughter-in-law is really great. Why don't I have this blessing? Look at the ones in our family. They all look similar, but they are all strong on the outside but weak on the inside. When something really happens, no one can be relied on. If my eldest daughter-in-law had half the toughness of you, my granddaughter-in-law, we wouldn't have caused such unrest in our family. Old sister, I have no place to put my face when I say this."
The more she talked, the more bitter she felt. She had worked hard for most of her life and finally managed to get the old marquis to leave. It was her turn to call the shots in the entire mansion, but her eldest son had lost his mind again. He brought a woman home from nowhere and spoiled her like an ancestor. The eldest daughter-in-law was cold-hearted and ignored him, allowing the concubines in the backyard to make trouble in her room.
She just said, if you have the guts to go and make trouble with her, and if you make trouble in front of her again, I will kick you out of the house.
She was too embarrassed to face the crowd of illegitimate sons and daughters.
The more Madam Hou spoke, the sadder she became, and her eyes could not help turning red. Madam Tang had no choice but to persuade her in a low voice.
Although the old marquis was a romantic man, he was extremely strict with his children. When he was around, his eldest son did not dare to act rashly.
But the eldest lady must have been thinking about this for a long time. She must have kept the man outside for a long time. As soon as the mourning period was over, she hurriedly brought him back home. How could a woman in the inner house control this?
Her eldest daughter-in-law is from the Xu family, a century-old prestigious family. Her brother is now the Minister of Rites, and her niece is the Princess of Prince Yi. If the current Marquis of Chengyang had any scruples, he would not do such a thing as favoring a concubine and destroying his wife.
But if she said this to an outsider, it would only make people feel annoyed. Even if they were childhood friends, they could only say so much.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. No matter how much you worry, if they don't listen, what can we as old people do? In my opinion, we have persuaded them and said what we should say. We are old, so we should let them do whatever they want. At least they know their limits. Outsiders are just making assumptions. Your eldest daughter-in-law is protecting your family's reputation. At worst, if your son really does something too outrageous at home, we old guys will cover it up."
When Old Mrs. Tang mentioned Xu, her eyes were full of admiration. No matter how this child felt in her heart, she always considered the overall situation when she was outside.
When the old lady of Chengyang Marquis's Mansion heard her mention her eldest daughter-in-law, her eyes softened. The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along quite harmoniously, and she felt sorry for her from the bottom of her heart.
Although his eyes were filled with heartache, he kept complaining, "She is good in every way, but she is not strong enough to my son. If she..."
Old Mrs. Tang interrupted her and advised, "Old sister, don't say that again. You and I have both been through youth. If a man can't manage himself, it doesn't matter how powerful his wife is. Don't you think so?"
The old lady of Chengyang Marquis thought of herself and felt bitter. She took the old lady Tang's hand and said, "Old sister is still considerate. We should get together more often. Listening to your words makes me feel much happier."
Old Madam Tang patted her hands, and the two smiled at each other, as if they were back in their childhood when they gathered together to share their little daughter's private thoughts.
At 3:30 pm, the ladies were led to the back garden by servants. The wife of the Marquis of Chengyang smiled and took her leave to greet the guests.
Liu Ying was taken away by several ladies. "Princess, let's find a quiet place to sit down and chat for a while. Let the young ladies play together. There are maids and servants in the yard. If we stay here alone, the children won't have much fun."
Liu Ying nodded, but still a little worried about her pregnant daughter-in-law, so she turned around and said, "Qingyun, take good care of your wife."
"Yes, ma'am."
As soon as Liu Ying left, a group of young girls gathered around.
Ever since some unknown hero spread the story of her denouncing Tang Yi for killing her concubine, she became a heroine in the eyes of these daughters from aristocratic families.
Among noble families, which man doesn't have three or two concubines in his room? There are always one or two who take advantage of their favor to show off their temper in front of the mistress. Respectable families do a good job on the surface, but deep down, how many of them don't hate concubines?
Some of the brave ones even asked Jiang Muxia for the secret of how to deal with concubines, which made the girls blush.
Jiang Muxia smiled bitterly. She didn't have any secrets. She just relied on her good kung fu. Even if she annoyed others, they couldn't do anything to her.
The secret is that when you are in the right, you can defeat everyone with brute force.
She didn't dare to say this, because if someone who told the truth heard it and went home and did it, she would be scolded at best, or beaten at worst. They didn't dare to get angry at their family members, they would only hate themselves.
Thinking of this, she just smiled and said something random to deal with them.
"Mrs. Tang Er, you don't have to worry about anything. Just say whatever you want to say. We won't blame you even if you fail." A pretty little girl with a round face and a silk skirt with a Ruyi cloud pattern looked at her with big eyes and asked. She looked serious and determined, and she didn't give up until she achieved her goal. Jiang Muxia knew at a glance that her father must be doting on his concubine.
The little girl looked around vigilantly, making sure that everyone around her was born of legitimate parents and that there were favored concubines in the family before she dared to ask this question.
Before Jiang Muxia could speak, a voice came from a distance, followed by footsteps getting closer and closer.
"Sister Qi, you are right to ask her about this. But you are asking the wrong question. You should ask her how to make a man's heart fall on you. In this regard, her methods are quite advanced."
The round-faced girl was startled, then understood something. She smiled faintly, looked at Jiang Muxia, and nodded firmly at her.
She didn't think it was shameful for a woman to spend time and effort to make her man feel sorry for her. She looked down on those who obviously cared but pretended to be generous and cried behind her back. For example, her mother, who was obviously the legal wife, made her life miserable for the sake of so-called face.
Jiang Muxia was stunned. She didn't expect that this girl didn't care about Xu Wanhua's words at all. She smiled and sat quietly to see what the person opposite her would do next.
The person rushing towards her was none other than Xu Wanhua, who had been fooled by her at the Lantern Festival. Today, there were still three or four little girls following her, staring at her hungrily.
Someone in the crowd asked, "Sister Xu, what do you mean by that?"
Jiang Muxia sneered. The coordination between them was perfect.
The girls who were watching the flowers in the yard heard that there was something exciting to watch at the pavilion, and they all came over, looking at the pavilion from a distance.
Xu Wanhua was dressed more plainly today, with only a silver hairpin to tie her hair into a bun at the back of her head, and a little makeup on. Even so, it couldn't hide the heroic spirit emanating from her body.
Jiang Muxia glanced at her twice more. Judging from her attire, she seemed to be a decisive person. Why did she insist on biting her? Where did the two sisters come from when they said they were seducing Liu He? Was it just because Liu He and Tang Li were engaged in the past, and she looked very much like her aunt?
