Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

Chapter 399 I’m afraid I’ll keep hitting my head against the wall

Marquis Yong'an sent Chief Jiang and his party to the gate of the mansion. He watched them get on the carriage before turning around. He did not go back to the front yard, nor did he send anyone to Songhe Hall.

He called Butler Hu to give him instructions.

"I'll send someone to inform the old lady that the severance document has been sent to the clan's ancestral temple. The clan leader's wife will come to visit the patient in the afternoon and pass on a few words from the clan to her. If she refuses to see me again..."

"No matter what the clan does, I can't protect her. I'm just a small marquis with no soldiers or power. I don't have the connections she thinks I do."

After the Marquis of Yong'an finished speaking, he sighed. Seeing that Butler Hu was listening with a serious expression, he did not continue talking about the matter, but looked at the carriage approaching from a distance.

"I'm going to the Princess Guardian's mansion. I won't be back during the day. If anyone from the clan comes, please entertain them well. Don't let the old lady show off her power and offend the clan members."

"Yes, I saved it." Butler Hu quickly accepted the order.

After Marquis Yong'an got on the carriage and left the mansion, Butler Hu stood there thinking for a while, but ultimately did not arrange for anyone else to go to Songhe Hall.

Among the servants, he and Mrs. Ge are the only ones who know the most about these things in the mansion and are the most concerned about them. They cannot arrange for others to take charge of them. It is not a good thing if the matter is spread widely.

At Songhe Hall, the old lady slowly woke up not long after the court doctor arrived. She looked so weak and heartbroken that she could die at any time. Even the court doctor could hardly keep a calm expression.

This old woman in the backyard is really good at pretending!

After Butler Hu arrived at Songhe Hall, he saw the indescribable expression on the court physician's face and understood everything.

When the old lady saw Butler Hu coming over, she was furious and cursed: "What did that unfilial son ask you to do? Get out!"

Butler Hu lowered his eyes and said respectfully but solemnly, "The Marquis has just sent away the clan leader and elders, and asked his subordinates to report to the old lady that the severance document has been sent to the clan ancestral temple."

"The clan leader's wife will come this afternoon. If the old lady still refuses to see her, it will offend the clan, and even the Marquis will not be able to protect you."

"The Marquis said he was a small Marquis with no troops or power, and he didn't have the connections you thought he had."

Butler Hu said these words in front of the court physician and the maids and servants of Songhe Hall. The old lady's face immediately turned red and she pointed at Butler Hu with a trembling finger.

I want to curse, but I feel guilty.

They all treated her dissatisfaction as a farce, right?

"Where is Jiang Mingan?" Finally, the old lady took a few breaths and asked with a cold face.

"The Marquis has gone out of the house and will not be back during the day." Butler Hu hurriedly reported.

The old lady asked about the other two sons, and Butler Hu continued, "The second master returned to the South Camp in the morning, and the third master went to the government office early in the morning."

The old lady was silent.

What was she making a fuss about? Her sons were not at home. The eldest grandson had already gone to the South Camp, the second grandson was reviewing his lessons for the exam, and the other grandsons were all in the Imperial Guard Camp.

The eldest daughter-in-law has a noble status and has not come to pay her respects every day since she married into the family for more than 20 years. She only comes occasionally.

The second and third daughters-in-law were not from bad backgrounds either. Although she could call them to set rules and take care of the sick, they would also make a fool of themselves and look down on her as the mother-in-law.

The old lady was holding a grudge in her heart but had no way to vent it, which was enough to make her sick.

But the court doctor was still here, and the housekeeper was obviously on the side of the unfilial son. They all looked at her coldly and laughed at her. She really couldn't faint even if she wanted to.

"Forget it. Since someone from the clan is coming, can I stop them?" The old lady suppressed the grievances in her heart with a cold face and spoke slowly.

"Everyone, go out. I'll take some rest. Don't wait for guests to come and neglect me."

The unfilial son warned her not to offend the people in the tribe. She had to call the tribe leader's wife sister-in-law, so if she wanted to lecture him, she could only listen.

But she didn't expect that the document of severing the relationship had already been written and sent to the clan. The unfilial son really wanted to piss her off to death.

Apart from anything else, this matter has probably spread among the clan. Everyone knows that she has severed the relationship with that girl. How can she celebrate that girl's birthday next month?

She originally wanted to pretend that the matter was over, and when the girl came back, she would give her something and say some nice words to coax her.

The Princess Protector of the Nation's move into a new mansion was such a grand occasion that naturally there would be a grand banquet for the guests. How could she, as the grandmother, not attend?

At that time, not many families of high status came to the family recognition banquet. It was because Prince Cheng's palace did not come, and everyone else was just waiting and watching.

She knew all of this, so even though she didn't like Yuntang, she was still active in entertaining the guests that day in order not to bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion.

Now that Yuntang is hosting a banquet as the Princess Protector of the Nation, Princess Kangning is afraid that she will not be able to go, so who will entertain the guests? It must be her, the grandmother, right?

This was what she originally thought, and she also planned to use her illness to force her unfilial son to come over, and then the mother and son would talk it out and reconcile.

Isn’t the banquet still the family affair of their Marquis’ Mansion?

Unexpectedly, the unfilial son would do something so extreme. With the document of breaking off the relationship, how could she go to the residence of the Princess of the Protectorate? If someone asked her about it, would she be shameless?

Even a word of gossip cannot be heard.

The old lady leaned against a few large pillows with a sad face, becoming listless again, but staring out the window in a daze.

When Butler Hu saw this, he looked towards Mrs. Ge.

Mrs. Ge hurried forward to ask the old lady if she wanted to have her legs massaged. Seeing that the old lady did not refuse, she quickly arranged for a maid to come forward.

Mrs. Ge saw the court physician and housekeeper Hu out and walked all the way to the outside of Songhe Hall. The court physician breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said goodbye.

Butler Hu stopped him and said with a smile, "The old lady is old, so it's inevitable that she will have some troubles. It's hard for Mr. Li to run back and forth."

The court doctor immediately bowed and smiled, "It's my job."

After the court doctor left, Butler Hu looked at Mrs. Ge.

Mrs. Ge quickly recounted in detail what happened when she persuaded the old lady after returning last night.

Seeing that the old lady was still angry and refused to listen, she pretended to be unconscious today and refused to go to the ancestral hall, that is, she refused to meet the clan leaders and elders. Butler Hu was also speechless.

I originally thought that the old lady was generous and had the demeanor of a noble lady, but I didn't expect that she would even dare to use such a trick that could be easily exposed. Does she think others are stupid or blind?

Or is she sure that no one dares to expose her?

Butler Hu didn't say anything, so he just told Mrs. Ge what the Marquis of Yong'an had told him, and asked her to keep an eye on it in the afternoon.

Obviously, the clan leader's wife came to handle the matter that the old lady had failed to continue not long ago because she pretended to faint and refused to see the clan leader.

The old lady refused to see the clan leader, and the clan leader was not in a position to come to Songhe Hall, but the clan leader's wife could come over, under the pretext of visiting a patient, and no one could stop her from coming.

Mrs. Ge looked worried when she heard this, fearing that the old lady would continue to push herself against the wall.

Thinking of the old lady's thoughts last night, she quickly told Butler Hu and asked him to report it to the Marquis so that he could have a response.

Outside Songhe Hall, two loyal servants who were worried about their master muttered about things to pay attention to for a long time, and then Butler Hu left in a hurry.
