Chapter 47: Counselling 7
"Back then, on the eve of the Northern Xinjiang battlefield, the old Marquis Wen was ordered to rush to the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, but he specially brought Jiang Meizi to visit the Zhenguo Mansion." Mrs. Tai said in a reminiscent tone: "On that day, the old marquis Wen earnestly asked me to help Jiang Meizi take care of the Ningguo Marquis Mansion after he left Beijing, I still remember that at that time, Jiang Meizi promised in front of the old Marquis Wen that all the big and small things in the Ningguo Marquis Mansion would be discussed with me, and they were all based on my ideas. β
The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze for a moment.
Except for a few old mothers who followed Mrs. Tai and Wen Wei's family, other younger subordinates and slaves and maids who entered the house after Wen Qi's death like Dajiang's mother, all looked surprised and unbelievable.
Wen Wei's face was also full of surprise, she never knew that the old Marquis Wen had such an entrustment to Mrs. Tai back then, now looking back, it was November of the twenty-fifth year of Daxing, it was not long after she gave birth to Wen Boyuan, and all her thoughts were on her son, plus, she was born in a family of military generals, and since she was a child, she was used to seeing her father leave home to fight for a year and a half or even a few years without seeing each other, so she didn't care about Wen Qi's departure at the time, but she didn't expect that more than a month later, she received the news of Wen Qi's deathβ¦β¦
Mrs. Jiang's face was very bad, Mrs. Jiang's words reminded her of the time when she was still an insignificant woman, during that time, what others said was what she said, she didn't even dare to put forward half a rebuttal, and she was worried all day long, as if every step was walking a tightrope......
Fortunately, not long after the death of the old Marquis Wen, the people from Shengyuan's hometown defected, and Mrs. Jiang gradually gained some confidence, and Mrs. Tai also had less contact with her, so she finally felt that she had lived a good life.
"Then, at that time, I was still a little deficient, didn't the Hou Ye also worry about ......me," Mrs. Jiang said unhappily: "Besides, people will grow up with age, for so many years, without Sister Huang's help, didn't I take good care of the house......
"Humph!" Thinking of Wen Liyan, who had achieved nothing, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but snort lightly, she thought, if it weren't for a "loving mother" like Mrs. Jiang, the old marquis of Wenwen might have taken the young Wen Liyan to the battlefield for training, or sent his son to the barracks early to boil up his qualifications, no matter which one it is, it will not let the old marquis of Wen die, Wen Liyan will become a martial artist, and the Marquis of Ningguo Mansion will be in a slump from then on.
The Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, which had great military achievements, fell to such a point because of a foolish woman like Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang thought that she was meritorious.
"yes." Mrs. Tai let out a long breath of depression in her heart, and said slowly: "Liyan's current life is both comforting and comfortable, and it is really thanks to a mother like you." β
Mrs. Jiang pursed her lips, how could she not hear the sarcasm in Mrs. Tai's tone, yes, she thought, her son is just a small military attachΓ©, compared with the famous general Zhenguo Hou Weibai, Mrs. Tai has the confidence to look down on her as a "loving mother".
"Oh, Sister Huang, I know it in my heart, what about you, you've always blamed me for being too pampered and used to making words, but ah......" Mrs. Jiang remembered that Mrs. Huang had persuaded her to urge her son to become a talent, and couldn't help but say with some disdain: "I also know that Sister Huang is also for making good statements, but ah, to be honest, Sister Huang and I are really very different people, I, I don't have Sister Huang's high spirit, I really don't ask my family to make a career or anything, I just want him to live a peaceful and happy life." β
"Hehe......" Mrs. Tai felt a burst of bitterness in her mouth, and couldn't help but secretly hate herself in her heart, she was really blind at the beginning, so she would marry her daughter into the mansion of the Marquis of Ningguo, after a pause, she said in a cold tone, and said flatly: "Then I really want to congratulate Sister Jiang, I got everything I wanted." β
"I know that Sister Huang doesn't really congratulate me, but ah, although my family Liyan is not as beautiful and decent as Zhenguohou now, but he is very happy to do what he likes every day, besides......" Mrs. Jiang glanced at Mrs. Tai, and said with some pride: "I can't bear to conceive the son who was finally born in October, but I can't see each other a few times in a year, I can't wait to know what Liyan eats and sleeps well every day......
This is deliberately stimulating Mrs. Tai, who can't see her son a few times a year.
"yes." Mrs. Tai didn't look angry at all, she sighed: "Sister Jiang is reasonable, besides, the high power is also a hard work." β
"That's right! That's right! Mrs. Jiang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly agreed: "That's it, my son ......."
"Humph!" Wen Wei, who had been silent, finally couldn't help it, and suddenly snorted coldly.
Mrs. Jiang's words were stuck in her throat, she glared at Wen Wei angrily, but saw Wen Wei staring at the floor, as if the person who had just spoken out was not her, Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Tai beside her, but saw that Mrs. Tai didn't hear it at all.
Mrs. Jiang's heart, which had just become hot, instantly became cold again, she looked at Mrs. Tai with flickering eyes, and then looked at Wen Wei, and couldn't help but guess in her heart that Wen Wei, as a daughter-in-law, dared to be disrespectful to her mother-in-law, was it because of Mrs. Tai's support behind her......
"Sister Huang, it's just the right time for you to come, to be honest, the old girl has a lot of pain in her heart, and she has long wanted to talk to Sister Huang." Mrs. Jiang took Mrs. Tai's hand, her eyes were slightly red, and she sobbed: "Sister Huang knows, when my daughter-in-law first married into the house, I really liked my daughter-in-law, I don't have a daughter, that is to treat my daughter-in-law as my own daughter, Sister Huang remember, my daughter-in-law and Liyan didn't know why they had a quarrel, but I didn't ask at that time, so I forced Liyan to apologize to my daughter-in-law......"
"Huh!" Mrs. Tai let out an inexplicable sneer and said, "Then you should really ask them the reason for the quarrel before making a judgment." β
An embarrassed look flashed across Mrs. Jiang's face.
The quarrel that Mrs. Jiang said was the first major conflict between Wen Liyan and Wen Wei after they got married, and when it happened during the three-year filial piety period of the old marquis Wen, Wen Liyan secretly got involved with Wen Wei's dowry maid without even saying hello, or when the maid was pregnant and couldn't hide it anymore, Wen Wei knew that the double betrayal of her husband and the personal maid naturally made the young Wen Wei and Wen Liyan make a big fuss.
Living in the same mansion, Mrs. Jiang naturally knew the reason for the quarrel between her son and daughter-in-law, she just wanted to cover up her son's fault, so she pretended not to know, and asked Wen Liyan to apologize to Wen Wei without asking the reason......
"That'...... We won't talk about the previous things. Mrs. Jiang changed the topic and said: "But, Sister Huang also saw it just now, in front of the room full of maids and mothers-in-law, the daughter-in-law doesn't leave me as a mother-in-law at all, that is to say, if you collide, you will collide, Sister Huang, because you are not an outsider, I dare to complain to you, my mother-in-law, although I was also called Mrs. Tai by outsiders, but ah, there is no face at all in this house." β
"That's right! Right! Jiang Youshi, who was kneeling on the ground, finally found a point where she could interject, and said in a loud voice: "Even in the portal of our small place in Shengyuan, no daughter-in-law dares to confront her mother-in-law, and what her mother-in-law says is what she ......."
"Shut up!" Mother Tao, who was standing next to Mrs. Tai, suddenly shouted: "Where did something come out of nowhere, there are no rules!" How can you slaves and maids intervene when the masters speak! β
"Poof!" There were several laughs in the room.
"You! You ......" Jiang Youshi was bluffed, and after reacting, she realized that she was scolded by a mother-in-law, for a while, she was both unbelieving and angry, and she couldn't even speak clearly, she pointed at Tao's mother with her finger, and said angrily for a long time: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, I am the nephew and daughter-in-law of Mrs. Jiang of Ningguohou Mansion, and I am a serious relative of Ningguohou Mansion...... What kind of thing are you to scold me! β
"Oops! What a deception! Auntie! Jiang Youshi turned around and hugged Mrs. Jiang's thigh, crying loudly, "Did you see it? Have you seen how others have misbehaved their nieces and daughters-in-law? Auntie! This is still in front of you, how dare a mother-in-law humiliate me like this......"
"You, you're Mother Tao, right?" Mrs. Jiang had also dealt with the people around Mrs. Tai before, and she quickly recognized Mother Tao at the moment, she had anger on her face and asked: "It's good that Mother Tao is a capable old man next to Sister Huang, but even if you have great dignity, you are just a subordinate after all, how dare you talk to my nephew and daughter-in-law like this?" β
Without waiting for Tao's mother to argue, Mrs. Jiang turned around and bluffed her face again, and said angrily to Mrs. Tai: "My nephew and daughter-in-law came all the way from Shengyuan to congratulate me on my birthday, first Ruoyun's child's matter hit her, but now she is still being bullied by a slave beside her sister, Sister Huang, you must give me an explanation for this matter." β
The corners of Mrs. Tai's eyes and eyebrows didn't move.
"Oops!" Mother Tao exclaimed repeatedly, pretending to be puzzled to look at Jiang Youshi, and asked confusedly, "Could it be that my wife is mistaken?" It turns out that this is Mrs. Jiang's nephew and daughter-in-law? β
"Naturally!" Jiang Youshi glared at Mother Tao fiercely, and said proudly: "I am Mrs. Jiang's nephew and daughter-in-law!" β
