Chapter 104 The Old Marquis is Partial
"Madam, I have finally understood that our second branch and the Marquis and his wife are born to clash. As long as they are around, we are no match for them. It was like this before, and it is still like this now. Even Lin's sister is unlucky for us. We have attended countless banquets in the past, and nothing unexpected has ever happened. But when Lin's sister returned to the Duke of Rong's Mansion, this accident happened. She is indeed a jinx."
"Madam, what about Xin'er? Even if she marries him, she will be laughed at."
Madam Shao was also quite surprised, her face was very ugly, and she said coldly: "Things have come to this point, what else can we do? Xin'er has to get married. The second wife of the Meng family is also a loser!"
Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law felt suffocated and unwilling.
They are also the second branch of the family, the second branch of the Meng family is also the second branch, they are all the second branches that can see the title right in front of them but cannot grasp it!
What’s even more infuriating is that Lin Yulan has caused trouble for them, and Lin Yulan’s sister has created more resistance for the second branch of the Meng family. What the hell is going on?
Sure enough, it is designed to defeat them...
Madam Shao said coldly: "The eldest wife must come up with money for this matter. Xin'er's dowry cannot be ugly."
Although Fu was the head of the family, the majority of the wealth in the mansion was in the hands of the eldest wife, and even the best farms and shops belonged to the eldest wife. They had tried every possible way to ruin Shao Xun's reputation, and they could not get a single drop of the wealth.
Many of the people working in those shops and farms were disabled soldiers who had retired from the army of the previous marquis, or their families. They were of the same kind and supported each other. With the support of Shao Xun, the Fu couple tried to move against them several times but were defeated.
As for using force, they don't dare to do so and are no match for them.
You have to know that although those disabled men were disabled, many of them had military merits. Once they were angered or touched, they would report them to the government, and the reputation of the second house would be completely ruined.
How can you expect to inherit the title when your reputation has been ruined?
Therefore, even though the second branch of the family portrays to the outside world that although they did not inherit the title, they are actually the ones who make the decisions and manage everything in the Wuwei Marquisate, they actually live a very tight life internally.
If Shao Zhixin wants to marry in a glorious way, Shao Xun must pay.
Mrs. Fu also meant this. She was delighted to hear the old lady's words and said with a smile, "In addition to the silver, we have to ask the eldest wife to bring out some treasures. They have quite a few treasures! Jade carvings, gold items inlaid with gems and pearls, crystal screens, calligraphy and paintings, vases, etc. If we add a lot of them, Xin'er's dowry will be beautiful."
"Of course," Madam Shao nodded and told Aunt Tang, "Send a little maid to call Lin over."
"Yes, old lady."
First, he subdued Lin. As long as she nodded, could Shao Xun still regret it? The saying that husband and wife are one is not just talk.
Lin Yulan had just changed into her casual clothes and took off the many flower ornaments and gold hairpins that she wore in her hair as a guest. She just tied her hair into a loose bun and inserted a jade hairpin.
She was chatting and laughing with Xiaoqu and the others when Xiaochan, who worked in Madam Shao's yard, came over.
Seeing this, Aunt Qi smiled and said, "The old lady specially sent someone to invite Madam, Madam, please go quickly."
Lin Yulan glanced at Madam Qi lightly, stroked her forehead, and frowned slightly: "I suddenly feel a little dizzy, perhaps I am tired from attending the banquet today. Xiaochan, go and tell the old lady. If there is anything urgent, please ask the old lady to send someone to tell me, and I will handle it. Otherwise, I will come over when I feel better. I am really sorry to have kept the old lady waiting for so long..."
Aunt Qi was stunned: "......"
What does Madam Hou mean by this?
What's wrong with her? She was talking and laughing just now! How dare she treat the old lady like this?
Since the Marquis's wife was not feeling well, Xiaochan naturally did not dare to force her, so she had to agree and go back to report.
Aunt Qi smiled and said that the madam was not feeling well and needed to rest. She sent everyone else away and stayed behind.
Seeing that Madam Qi seemed to be hesitant to speak, Lin Yulan smiled and said, "Madam, do you have anything to say?"
"I told you not to be angry, Madam," Madam Qi said with a smile, "You don't want to see the old lady, so you made up an excuse to refuse? But since the old lady has sent someone to invite you, Madam has to go anyway..."
Lin Yulan smiled and said, "We'll go after the Marquis comes back."
Madam Qi was stunned, "Madam, what is this..."
Lin Yulan laughed: "Mammy is an elder in the mansion. She is a smart person to be able to manage things. The old lady sent someone to call me when the second aunt left. It must be for sister Xin's marriage. Well, she probably wants a dowry. How can I make the decision on such a matter? Rather than not being able to make the decision or say anything and making the old lady and the second aunt angry, it is better to wait for the marquis to come back."
Aunt Qi: “…”
She thought to herself that this is different. The Marquis is not here, so what you promised is equivalent to what the Marquis promised. If you don’t go, what will happen to the Old Lady and the Second Lady?
Madam Qi was thinking about how to persuade Lin Yulan to go to Yanshou Hall. Lin Yulan looked at her and said, "Madam, please keep it a secret for me. I can't let Second Aunt and the old lady know that I'm pretending to be uncomfortable, otherwise they will be angry."
Aunt Qi swallowed all the words in her mind.
What else can I say?
"Yes, Madam..." Madam Qi had to force a smile and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you Madam for trusting me. I will never let you down."
Lin Yulan nodded in satisfaction, "I see that you are always steady, so I naturally trust you."
The people at Yanshou Hall didn't wait until Lin Yulan was extremely angry, and they didn't care whether she was really feeling unwell or pretending to be.
Mrs. Fu was the most dissatisfied. "I think she is just being pretentious and making trouble on purpose. She didn't seem to have any problem going out for the banquet today, so why did she feel uncomfortable when the old lady called her? Humph, I think it's not that she feels uncomfortable physically, but that she feels uncomfortable in her heart!"
Madam Shao glanced at Fu and frowned, "Alright, stop talking. It doesn't matter if she doesn't come, let's wait until Shao Xun comes back. Can't I, his grandmother, order him to do such a small thing?"
Fu didn't know what to say, so she just gave up.
However, she was not feeling well. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Shao, she thought for a while, turned a corner and went to Chunhui Garden.
When she heard that Mrs. Fu was coming, Lin Yulan went into the bedroom and pushed Madam Qi out: "I'll leave everything to you, Madam. Can you handle Second Aunt? Send her away quickly."
Aunt Qi had no way to express her suffering. She couldn't say that she didn't even have this little ability. Wouldn't that make her a freeloader? If she wanted the trust and respect of the Marquis' wife in the future, she would probably not be able to do so.
