I think Chief Jiang and the six elders discussed for a long time after returning and finally came up with a solution.

The clan leader's wife and several elder ladies of the clan not only brought gifts for visiting the sick, but also brought a famous doctor from the capital, a chief physician, and two female doctors.

They arrived at Songhe Hall when the old lady was not on guard.

When the old lady came to the hall to greet guests, he made a diagnosis on the spot. After a thorough examination, he directly exposed the old lady's condition and made it impossible for her to pretend to be sick any longer.

They are all doctors, including female doctors, so it is impossible for a misdiagnosis to occur among several people.

No matter how many tricks she had, facing so many people, including her sister-in-law from the clan and doctors from outside, the old lady could only accept the result and dared not reveal too much.

If she showed any dissatisfaction or had an argument with the clan leader's wife and others, it would be spread out.

She lost face, and the Marquis's mansion also lost dignity.

Although the old lady had many plans in mind, she did not dare to really do anything wrong with the reputation of the Marquisate.

In fact, when Butler Hu came to convey Marquis Yong'an's words, especially that "he is just a small marquis with no soldiers and no power", she didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

She still attaches great importance to the reputation and future of the Marquis's Mansion.

After resolving the illness, the clan leader's wife signaled the accompanying steward Hu to send the doctors away, and then she began to scold the old lady for her stupidity and her audacity in refusing to see the clan leader.

Without pretending to be seriously ill, she couldn't pretend to be unconscious either. Besides, she was facing the cunning people in the back house, and pretending to be unconscious or sick was nothing in front of them.

The old lady could only accept the scolding and said that she was really ill because she was angry that night, and she recovered in the past two days after she figured it out...

But is it important?

The clan leader’s wife came here just to scold her!

Several women scolded the old lady for an hour, drank a few cups of tea, and warned her not to make any more noise before leaving.

The granddaughter who has already lost her glory is now alienated from her son. How stupid must one be to do such a foolish thing?

Seeing them laughing at her stupidity again, the old lady could no longer hold her stern face, but she could only hold it in and personally escort the group out of Songhe Hall.

The rest was handed over to Mrs. Ge to take care of. She let her maid help her as she trembled back to the inner room. She waved away all the servants and began to cry with her face covered.

After Mrs. Ge sent the person to the second gate and got on the carriage and left, she exchanged information with Butler Hu and then came back.

Seeing that the old lady was still crying in the inner room, the other maids and servants stood outside and did not dare to go in.

Finally, it was Mrs. Ge who asked someone to fetch water for washing the face. She brought it in personally to calm the old lady down, helped her wash her face, and reapplied moisturizing cream on it.

"I knew I was wrong a long time ago, but I didn't expect them to be so ruthless. But now I can't regret it. There is no medicine for regret in the world..."

The old lady leaned back on the large pillow, her red eyes staring blankly out the window.

The flowers in the corner of the yard were in bud and full of vitality, but she felt sickly and her vitality was slipping away faster than last year.

Things have been going wrong lately and I feel unhappy.

"I treated my granddaughter harshly. Now that we've severed our relationship, there's no going back. Can admitting my mistake bring my granddaughter back? How can I admit my mistake when they don't even let me attend the banquet?"

"I am really sick, I just said it was a little serious, I just wanted the unfilial son to come and see me, how come they said it was just pretending to be sick to scare people? And I am messing with the family for no reason?"

"I just didn't give Miss Tang the New Year's money properly, why are you calling me a troublemaker? Why are you blaming me?"

The old lady did not look at Mrs. Gerhardt. She just stared out the window with a gloomy face and muttered to herself.

Mrs. Gerhardt silently brought the warm tea and did not respond to her mumblings.

She knew that the old lady regretted it in her heart, but unfortunately there was no regret medicine in the world. Things had already happened, and some things were wrong and could not be turned back even if you wanted to.

Because the damage is done.

Even if the old lady gave the eldest daughter another bag of golden plum blossoms, or even two bags, it could not erase the humiliation that the old lady had given to the young lady with the small bag of silver plum blossoms.

Not only did she humiliate Yuntang, she also humiliated her grandmother, and she also humiliated Yuntang's father, Yong'an Hou, her own son.

It’s no wonder that the clan leader’s wife and the others mocked the old lady’s stupidity.

And these words were another humiliation to the old lady.

In the end, this boomerang only pierced the old lady's heart. Even if Yuntang allowed her to attend his birthday party later, how could she have the face to go?

Perhaps it was because these thoughts were jumping back and forth in the old lady's mind that she actually became sick, and this time she was not pretending.

After returning home, Marquis Yong'an listened to Butler Hu's detailed report of what happened in the afternoon. In fact, there was nothing else but this one thing.

The other chores are still in charge of the Second Lady. Princess Kangning is not the only one who can manage the household. Which daughter doesn't learn these skills before getting married?

It’s just that Princess Kangning married the Marquis of Yong’an, and the three branches of the Marquis’s mansion did not split up, so Princess Kangning was the only mistress of the household.

Now that Princess Kangning has gone through so much, she no longer makes trouble in the mansion, let alone tries to take back the power to run the household that belongs to her.

Because she realized that her current situation was not good, she wanted to fight, but she could not defeat those people.

Not only was she and her husband estranged, her sons also had complaints, Yuntang simply ignored her existence, and even her father and mother blamed and scolded her. She had already lost the game and could only bide her time.

Fortunately, the adopted daughter was filial. After Jiang Yingxue was released from house arrest, she went to pay her respects every morning. After accompanying her to worship Buddha and having breakfast together, she returned to her own yard. She was very quiet and low-key.

Therefore, apart from the old lady's recent noise, the mansion is really quiet.

After hearing this, the Marquis of Yong'an didn't say anything, but just said, "Let's leave it like this for the old lady for now, and let Mrs. Ge keep an eye on it to make sure there's no trouble."

"It's impossible for her to go to Tang'er's house. No matter if she's a guest or a grandmother, she won't be allowed to go."

This was Marquis Yong'an's final attitude. After the clan leader's wife and others came to scold him, no matter whether the old mother truly repented or was forced to accept the facts due to the situation, he would not let her go.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the document of severing the relationship be written in vain?

When they make trouble again in the future, how can we have any restraint and authority?

After Butler Hu left, Marquis Yong'an thought for a while, then got up and went to the South Courtyard. At this time, Jiang Mingwei had already returned from the yamen.

He also had to discuss some details of the banquet with his second and third brother's wives.

Although Yuntang's two aunts were invited to entertain the guests, there were still two aunts at home who could be arranged. This opportunity was also a chance for the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion to show off.

As for Princess Kangning? She can just recover from her illness.

The Second and Third Ladies had already heard about the banquet, but they didn't expect that they would be able to help, and they were very surprised.
