Chapter 1255: Chapter 1253: Sowing Discord
Madam Wang actually didn’t want to talk about those indecent matters in front of her daughters to spare their ears from being sullied, but both daughters had grown up, and it was ti they learned a few things. To prevent them from making a scene outside by mistaking rumors for the truth, Madam Wang briefly ntioned the affair between their father and Madam Zhou’s mother and daughter.
"...You must rember, no matter how many won your father brings ho, you and your siblings are the legitimate offspring of the main branch, no one can surpass you!" Madam Wang said aningfully, "As for the others, they are just lowly concubines and illegitimate children, if you’re happy, give them so face; if not, well."
Wu Yining clenched her fists, angrily saying, "Father is going too far, how can he do this?"
Wu Yilin glanced at her elder sister but said nothing.
Madam Wang said sternly, "Ningning, you are the eldest daughter; you must set an example for your younger siblings, how can you speak ill of your father? That is unfilial!"
Wu Yining pouted, full of discontent.
Madam Wang gave her a warning look and said, "In any case, mind your own business, these matters aren’t for you to handle, you are legitimate young ladies and shouldn’t ddle in such affairs, understand?"
"I will heed Mother’s teachings!" Wu Yilin stood and bowed.
Wu Yining also responded, albeit reluctantly.
Madam Wang’s face relaxed slightly, "Return to your courtyard, Manager Sun should be bringing the clothes soon, try them on, if they don’t fit, they can be altered in ti. The day after tomorrow is Princess Changping’s reaching the age of marriage ceremony, I heard that Princess Consort invited quite a few madams and young ladies to observe, you two are grown up now and should et people, so the attire must be appropriate, don’t be discourteous."
Wu Yining’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
Wu Yilin responded with a smile.
After dismissing the two, Madam Wang rubbed her temples in frustration and said to Nanny Wei, "Nanny, Yining’s temperant is too impulsive, what should we do?"
It’s because she’s spoiled!
Nanny Wei secretly criticized, the legitimate eldest daughter, the first child, both the lady and the elderly paid extra attention, which led to such a character.
But the second young lady, alas, her disposition truly embodies the elder sister’s deanor!
As Wu Yining and her sister walked out of Madam Wang’s courtyard, Wu Yilin held Wu Yining’s hand.
"Elder sister, they say that woman resembles Father more than you do!"
Wu Yining snorted, "So what? Just a bastard, Mother forbids us from talking about it, weren’t you just behaving? Now you’re bringing it up again?"
Wu Yilin smiled gently, "I just wanted to have a heartfelt chat with elder sister." Then she sighed, "I don’t know how Father will handle this matter."
"Who cares about her? Even if she enters our family, can she surpass us? Just a lowly bastard!" Wu Yilin said disdainfully.
"That’s true, but isn’t she older than elder sister?" Wu Yilin said in a low voice, "If she cos, wouldn’t she surpass you? Oh, by then, we wouldn’t be able to call you elder sister anymore, right? Since she’s older, we’d have to call her elder sister, wouldn’t we?"
Wu Yining’s expression changed, lips pursed, eyes widened, and she flicked her sleeve, "Elder sister, a bastard, how could she deserve it!"
Watching her storm off, Wu Yilin’s mouth curled into a cold smile.
"Miss, will the eldest young lady go..." Wu Yilin’s maid, Ru Hua, whispered.
Wu Yilin gave her a faint glance, "Can we ask about the elder sister’s whereabouts? Let’s go, my painting still needs so finishing touches."
Ru Hua imdiately fell silent and supported her away.
