Chapter 1276: Chapter 1274: Division of Power
Madam Wang thought she would wait for the Old Madam to declare her temporary departure from her mother’s ho, but the Old Madam’s words left her stunned.
"It doesn’t matter how this matter concludes. As long as there’s no conviction, everyone must run around. Lihong, Marquis Yongan’s Mansion is your in-law’s family. Now that sothing has happened, you, as the son-in-law, should help out!" the Old Madam pointed at Wu Lihong and said.
"Mother!" Wu Lihong frowned.
Madam Wang looked at the Old Madam in shock, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She thought, she thought that the Old Madam was also cold and indifferent, never expecting her to say such words.
The Old Madam seed to see through Madam Wang’s thoughts, snorted, and looked at Wu Lihong, saying, "This is what you’re supposed to do as a son-in-law. Since our second isn’t here, you should send a ssage to see if he can also find a connection, and so should our third."
"Mother, this..."
"Listen to ." The Old Madam cut off Wu Lihong’s words, glanced at the sons and daughters-in-law present, and said, "I know what you are all thinking. You just want Marquis Yongan’s Family to commit a great cri, afraid of being implicated. But I tell you, there’s a saying about being connected with each other. Others can be afraid of being implicated, but our Wu Family cannot, because we are in-laws with Marquis Yongan’s Mansion."
"If the in-laws only avoid and evade when sothing happens, how would people see our Wu Family? Such cold-hearted family, who would dare to marry into our Wu Family in the future? Consider it, if it were our Wu Family in trouble, and your in-laws also avoided and let it be, what would you do?" The Old Madam said solemnly, "This matter has not been concluded yet. Even if it really needs to be investigated, would our family be afraid of an investigation here? We have a clear conscience!"
Madam Wang softly sobbed holding the handkerchief.
The Old Madam looked at her again and said, "Madam Wang, as in-laws, if there’s sothing we should help with, we will extend a hand. But how far things will go, and how it’s judged, is not sothing we can control. If it really cos to that point, you can’t bla our Wu Family!"
"Mother, I understand!" Madam Wang stood and bowed, knowing the Old Madam’s intentions already satisfied her heart.
"After all, it’s because your Marquis House produced a consort, and got a bit carried away." The Old Madam looked at Madam Wang aningfully and said, "After this incident, Madam Wang, you must be mindful to restrain those under you."
Madam Wang felt a chill in her heart and agreed.
"During these days, since you must be busy helping your mother’s family, if you find it hard to manage the family affairs, let your two sisters-in-law assist you," the Old Madam suddenly said.
Madam Wang clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and looked at the Old Madam, furious; was this to divide her power?
The Old Madam picked up her tea and sipped it lightly.
Madam Wang lowered her eyes, "Mother, this daughter-in-law can still manage."
The Old Madam sneered, "I am leaving these words here. How to handle it is up to you. By the way, what happened today at the Prince’s Mansion?"
Madam Wang was startled, abruptly looking at the second wife’s sister-in-law, Lady Tong, was it Yiwan who said it?
Lady Tong was sowhat annoyed by the glance, forced to endure her anger, and rubbing her belly said, "After Wanwan returned, she heard that Ningning was punished to transcribe Female Precepts and went to comfort her with a few words, but unexpectedly the young lady was ungrateful and chased her out. Perhaps so servants gossiped."
The third wife’s sister-in-law, Lady Liu, then covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard people talking that the young lady spoke wildly at the Prince’s Mansion and was reprimanded by Princess Changping?"
"What exactly happened?" The Old Madam said in a deep voice, "Offending Princess Changping and the Prince’s Mansion is no joke."
"I heard Ningning pointed at soone and called them a bitch!" Lady Liu said quickly and glibly, "I heard that girl bears a few similarities to our Ningning."
