When Mrs. Ge said this, she suddenly raised her arm and waved her sleeves, her tone revealing frustration and loss.

"I don't know what the eldest lady did, but all the gifts disappeared. Many ladies were present at the time and saw it."

So she didn't lie to her master, but there were witnesses.

Marquis Yong'an understood when he heard it.

He had already seen how powerful Yuntang's hidden talents were, and he had seen it many times. How could he not understand what the situation was at that time?

But when my mother mentioned this, Mrs. Gerhardt mentioned the coral tree.

It turned out that my mother took a fancy to the two pots of coral trees in the gift.

But these gifts were given to Tang'er by the Queen, how could they be taken away by others?

Even if it was my grandmother, this royal thing could not be given away casually to anyone or rewarded to anyone. Who could afford to displease the Empress?

Besides, a grandmother shouldn’t be so concerned about her granddaughter’s things.

Yong'an Hou looked a little embarrassed. Seeing that his mother was unhappy, he had no choice but to say:

"Mother, that is a gift from the Queen to Tang'er, just like the plaque bestowed by the Emperor."

After Yong'an Hou explained tactfully, he saw his mother's face turn gloomy, and hurriedly said:

"That coral tree should be a tribute from the southern border. I wonder if it's available on the market. I'll send someone to inquire about it. If it doesn't work, we'll continue to look for it in the southern and eastern borders."

His original intention was to guarantee that it was just a decoration. He would buy it back as long as it was for sale so that his mother would not have to worry about Yuntang's small warehouse.

However, his words angered the old lady, whose gloomy expression could not conceal a hint of red.

Regardless of the fact that her hair had not been combed yet, she suddenly stood up and turned around, glaring at the unfilial son.

"Am I a person who is greedy for those vulgar things? Didn't you say that girl is filial? It turns out that you only talk about it."

"She clearly had it, but you still had to go to the southern border to look for it? I've become the villain who tormented my children and grandchildren!"

Marquis Yong'an lowered his head, feeling miserable but unable to express himself.

Why can't these people face up to Tang'er's identity?

They may look down on Tang'er, but they cannot underestimate the powerful backer behind Tang'er!

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was the Emperor and the Empress who were supporting Tang'er today.

Didn't even those noble families who had originally refused to come because of Prince Cheng's disapproval finally hurry over?

Princess Kangning relied on the fact that she was Tang'er's biological mother and refused to understand the truth. Why did her mother also make a fuss?

"Mother, Tang'er has been back home for a few days, and the family recognition banquet is held today."

"Tang'er also gave all of us gifts earlier, but what did we, the elders, give her?"

"The gifts Tang'er sent are all expensive. As a father, I can only give her something suitable for her in return. I dare not bargain for a lower price."

"Tang'er is wandering outside, the Marquis' Mansion owes her."

"Tang'er didn't get treated well after returning. The Marquisate owed her that."

"Tang'er took the initiative to show her kindness, but we can't return her kindness in the same way. The Marquisate owes her."

"Now that mother wants Tang'er to be filial, she has to be willing to do so. If I use filial piety to pressure her, how can I say this?"

Marquis Yong'an looked embarrassed and wanted to persuade his mother to give up the idea of ​​asking Yuntang for the coral tree.

The old lady couldn't hold her temper anymore and her voice became sharp:

"Asshole! What do you mean by that? You blame me for losing Tang girl? Who can't treat Tang girl well when she comes back?"

"I didn't accept her gift, so why should I give her a gift in return?"

"I just thought the coral was pretty, and I didn't want to steal her. Why are you scolding me like this?"

"Mother..." Marquis Yong'an's voice trembled, and he looked at the emotional person in disbelief.

I didn't expect his mother could be so unreasonable.

"Get out! Don't disturb the peace of this old woman!"

Seeing her son's red eyes, the old lady felt as if a breath of depression was stuck in her throat, unable to come out. She shouted angrily and raised her hand to point to the door.

"Mother, please calm down and don't get sick from anger..." Marquis Yong'an lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly, trying his best to suppress his feeling of grievance.

He walked away with his head down in frustration.

The old lady's body swayed, and she was helped by Mrs. Ge to sit on the brocade cushion with unsteady steps. She took two deep breaths, but her face still looked grim.

"The old lady's health is very important." Mrs. Ge comforted softly. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but suddenly she felt at a loss for words.

The old lady sighed, sat back down facing the bronze mirror, and signaled the maid to continue dressing her.

She said in a deep voice: "How can I not understand? Am I shortsighted enough to want that little thing? All I want is an attitude."

"Although Miss Tang told the guests today that 'Grandma is kind', how does she usually treat me, her grandmother?"

"If she is really filial, would she be reluctant to give up such a small thing? She can even afford to give a jade Buddha worth tens of thousands of taels, so why would she be short of such a small thing?"

Therefore, if Tang Yatou is unwilling to give it, it means that in Tang Yatou's heart, she, the grandmother, still has no weight.

But the eldest son was a stubborn person and scolded Tang Yatou without even asking her.

How could she have no shame at her age?

The old lady had a lot of grievances but nowhere to vent them. She felt very depressed and only dressed lightly.

After everything was ready, he went to the small compartment, ate a bowl of bird's nest, and then lay down on the couch listlessly.

After leaving Songhe Hall, Marquis Yong'an was also in a depressed mood. He walked to a pavilion in the garden and sat down.

Looking at the garden covered with snow in the cold wind, he couldn't help but sigh.

Xue'er is ignorant, Princess Kangning is restless, and now even his mother is causing trouble for him...

Tired of heart!

Jiang Mingli and Jiang Mingwei both returned to their own yard to rest.

Jiang Yanting and Jiang Yanxuan also had to check the final status everywhere. Also, since so many gifts had been received today, they also had to count them on behalf of their father.

The two brothers agreed that since the banquet was organized by their father, the gift book should be handed over to their father instead of their mother.

Although the general affairs of the Marquis' Mansion have always been managed by my mother, the mistress, but these days my mother left the Marquis' Mansion and returned to Prince Cheng's Mansion. Does she have any regard for the Marquis' Mansion?

They had heard from Zhou Siyue that their mother did not treat Tang'er respectfully in Nuanxiang Pavilion.

They also felt sorry for their sister and didn't want their mother to be involved in anything related to the family recognition banquet. Even though the banquet was over, these gifts were still part of it.

The two brothers were busy tacitly, and when they were about to return to their own yard from the front yard, they found out that their father was sitting in the garden pavilion in a daze, and they were surprised.

Didn’t father go to Songhe Hall to comfort grandmother?

The two brothers hurried to the pavilion, and were stunned when they heard their father talk about the coral with a sad face.

At Tangfeng Courtyard, Yuntang finished copying two volumes of Taoist scriptures, then put down his pen, stood up, walked to the corridor and looked outside at the sky.
