Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 242: The dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

Daiyu tilted her head and teased her, "We already have a sister Yuanchun in the palace, who knows, there will be another lady Tanchun in the future!"

When Shi Xiangyun and Xichun heard this, they immediately clapped and cheered.

"You have such a sharp tongue! I'll let you talk nonsense!"

Tanchun was amused so much that her face turned red. She chased after Daiyu, wanting to teach her a lesson for her careless mouth.

After being dull for several days, Lixiangyuan was finally filled with laughter again.

Grandmother Jia returned home almost at dinner time that day. As soon as she returned to the courtyard, she said she was tired and closed the door to refuse visitors. No one saw her.

The other nanny, Gu, who followed into the palace, also went straight to Lixiangyuan as soon as she came back.

Mrs. Wang had hit a snag with Daiyu last time, so she naturally didn't want to ask her for information, and the other maids didn't dare to ask more. Not only the maids, but even the masters were a little afraid of Nanny Gu.

Mrs. Xing, the only one who wanted to come and inquire about the news, was also stopped by Wang Xifeng.

Fortunately, after spending so much time together, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have resolved all their previous conflicts. Otherwise, if their relationship was still tense and they still looked down on each other as before, they would probably have quarreled.

But they just kept quiet for one night.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng gathered in front of the gate of Lady Jia's courtyard.

Mrs. Wang looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were holding hands and looking very intimate, and couldn't help but snort.

Wang Xifeng quietly pinched Mrs. Xing's arm, signaling her to be calm and not to conflict with Mrs. Wang in public.

She smiled and bowed to Madam Wang, saying, "Aunt is in good spirits today. I think she is well now. I am really very happy for her."

"You are heavy, I dare not accept your gift!"

Although Mrs. Wang said this, she did not intend to avoid the question at all. She accepted the greeting with peace of mind, and then slowly moved her gaze to Wang Xifeng.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Miss Feng is getting better and better at coaxing people! However, since we are both married into the Duke's Mansion, it is more appropriate for you to call me aunt in this mansion."

Wang Xifeng still smiled as brightly as a flower and replied obediently, "Yes, Second Aunt."

Although her attitude was very respectful, Mrs. Wang always felt that something was wrong and things should not be like this.

She maintained a calm appearance, but her mind was in turmoil. She glanced at Lady Xing and Wang Xifeng, then walked into Lady Jia's Rongqing Hall first.

"Look at her!" Mrs. Xing muttered softly.

Wang Xifeng gently patted Mrs. Xing's back and quickly calmed her down.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered Lady Jia's hall one after another.

Grandmother Jia didn't care about their arrival and had no intention of paying any attention to them. She let Doctor Yu give her acupuncture first.

After the treatment was completed and she rested for a while, she changed her clothes and came out.

Mrs. Wang noticed Yu Zilu's figure and calmly asked Yuanyang, "Who is this doctor? Why is he here to see the old ancestor?"

Madam Xing could no longer bear it and fought back, "Oh, don't you see what the situation is now? We can't get the imperial physician in even if we want to! We are lucky to have Doctor Yu here at this critical moment!"

Wang Xifeng noticed that Mrs. Wang looked unhappy, and she quickly spoke to smooth things over: "Second Aunt is just concerned about the old ancestor, so she forgot about the current situation for a moment."

When she heard Wang Xifeng speaking up for her, the gloom on Mrs. Wang's face faded a little.

"I don't know if this doctor is useful. If he makes our ancestor worse..."

In fact, after the old lady left yesterday, Mrs. Wang asked again in detail about what had happened in the mansion in the past few days. Naturally, she knew Doctor Yu's background and just pretended not to know.

Wang Xifeng also realized that no matter how much she said, Mrs. Wang would not and was unwilling to believe it.

Whether it is useful or not depends on what our ancestors themselves say.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Suddenly, a "beep" sound came from the inner room, breaking the brief silence.

Grandmother Jia walked out slowly, leaning on a phoenix-headed cane and supporting Amber.

Everyone in the hall stood up to greet them.

In the ear room, Daiyu and Yingchun were hiding in the corner and eavesdropping.

Daiyu noticed Xichun's action and saw that she was about to slap her arm. She quickly grabbed her little hand and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you bring the medicine bag I gave you?"

Xichun pouted and muttered a little aggrievedly: "I can't bear to use it..."

"Silly girl!" Daiyu tapped her forehead lightly, then took off the mosquito repellent bag from her waist and tied it around Xichun's waist.

The exquisite embroidery on the medicine bag reflected a faint golden light. It was the red spider lily that they had painted that day.

"Cousin, you gave it to me, so what do you use it for?"

"I'm not afraid of these. Okay, the ancestor has started to speak, hush--"

When Lady Xing, Lady Wang, and Wang Xifeng saw Lady Jia coming out, they stopped their previous confrontation and waited for the old ancestor to speak.

Grandmother Jia's eyes swept over the three of them and finally fell on Mrs. Wang, with a rather unfriendly look.

"I left the affairs of this mansion to you before, but now it seems that I was wrong."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xing felt secretly proud.

Everyone in the capital knew how much Grandmother Jia valued the Second House.

Mrs. Xing had long been dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's favor, and now Lady Jia was actually humiliating Mrs. Wang.

She even began to fantasize that if her grandfather could come out earlier, she would definitely set off firecrackers and celebrate properly.

But she didn't feel proud for long, because she heard Grandmother Jia say again: "If I wasn't worried that the eldest daughter-in-law would take the whole Jia Mansion into her arms, I would never have handed over the housekeeping to you!"

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Grandfather, how could I be like this..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Grandmother Jia: "You have taken all the money from your mother's family into your arms. Do I need to explain it in detail?"

Mrs. Xing was not getting what she wanted, so she looked at Wang Xifeng for help, and the latter shook her head slightly at her.

She had no choice but to lower her head and didn't continue to argue.

But Mrs. Wang raised her head, still maintaining her attitude of neither servility nor arrogance: "I did everything for the Jia family."

Grandmother Jia seemed to have heard a joke and sneered, "Are you doing this for the entire Jia family or just for your children? You know it best in your heart!"

"The master won't let me get involved in Huan'er's affairs."

"What about Tanchun? She has been brought up by you since she was a child. What is your attitude towards her?"

Mrs. Wang had a cold smile on her face, and her tone revealed disdain: "I have my own children, why should I care about other people's daughters?"

When the girls in the ear room heard this, they all looked at Tanchun with pity. But Tanchun just smiled and shook her head, indicating that she didn't care.

But they all noticed that Tanchun's lips were slightly pale, and two faint tooth marks were faintly visible on them.

After hearing this, Jia's mother became even more angry: "Is this the upbringing of your Wang family?"

Mrs. Xing felt that the old man's words were a bit biased, and she argued for Wang Xifeng, "Old man, Miss Feng is still very good!"
