Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 772: Required Allies

She was stealing soone else’s husband with such an innocent helpless expression like justice didn’t allow her to look back.

Did An Lingyun possess no ability to tell right from wrong?

It was seriously infuriating! Ning Shu hamred at her chest. Truly, the longer you lived, the more you saw.

“Mada?” Zhu Er looked at Ning Shu worriedly. “Mada, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, go find the old mada.” Ning Shu coughed. She had to talk to the old mada.

What she needed to do was to protect the entire general’s residence, not destroy it. The residence was already like a little boat getting tossed around by a storm, she couldn’t sink the boat just to get revenge on a couple people. The general’s residence was Wei Lingxian’s life.

That was why she had to find allies, and the old mada would be a strong one.

The old mada lost her husband and had to support her entire family herself. She raised An You to be an outstanding man and even found him a virtuous wife like Wei Lingxian so that An You could work towards his aspirations without having to worry about the ho.

The old mada was the most skilled at manipulating people’s hearts. All these past years, she had barely ever gotten into an argunt with Wei Lingxian. The reason for this aside from Wei Lingxian’s natural virtues and filial respect was because the old mada never got involved with affairs between An You and Wei Lingxian.

Even though An You didn’t take any mistresses, the old mada didn’t show any disapproval, which set Wei Lingxian at ease.

And she felt even more respect towards this mother-in-law of hers.

Ning Shu walked into the old mada’s courtyard. When she heard the old mada’s personal maid say that the old mada was napping, she didn’t say anything and waited outside for the old mada to wake up.

The maid carried over a chair for Ning Shu and Ning Shu smiled faintly before sitting down.

After about two hours, there finally ca movent from inside the room. It was clear that the old mada had just woken up. After another while, the maid finally called Ning Shu to enter.

Ning Shu dusted off her clothes a little before walking inside. The old mada was currently drinking tea. When she saw Ning Shu and noticed her slightly red eyes, she was taken aback. “What happened?”

“Mother, this daughter-in-law wishes to talk to you about sothing in private,” said Ning Shu.

The old mada had the maids in the room all leave before turning to Ning Shu. “Go ahead. There’s nothing between us that can’t be said.”

Ning Shu opened her mouth and told the old mada about everything she saw yesterday night in full. The mont the old mada heard about this news, her hand which was holding a teacup trembled so hard, the tea spilled out. Ning Shu stepped forward to take the teacup from the old mada’s hand and place it on the table.

The old mada’s face was filled with exhaustion. “Doesn’t An You understand his own status? If he does this, what are you and Princess Mingzhu supposed to do?”

The old mada’s expression darkened. “This can’t be allowed.”

Ning Shu wasn’t surprised at all by the old mada’s attitude. The old mada was a widow that had single-handedly raised her son. The difficulties she had to endure during this path was unimaginable. The fact that the general’s residence was as prestigious as it was today was largely due to the old mada’s efforts.

There was no way an imperial princess could beco the mistress of a general. This was completely challenging the imperial family’s dignity. However, if An You divorced his wife to then marry her, then the label of being a Chen Shii would be pinned onto An You’s head. Moreover, Wei Lingxian hadn’t done any unacceptable things, nor did she violate any of the seven grounds for divorce. On the contrary, she had given birth to two children and kept the general’s residence in perfect order.

She was well-known for being virtuous. If An You divorced Wei Lingxian, how would other people look at the general’s residence?

The old mada was a woman who had lost her husband, so she greatly valued reputation and integrity.

anwhile, Princess Mingzhu was soone who didn’t know anything about the world, so how could she possibly handle the responsibilities that ca with being the main mada of a general’s residence? She seed born to be a mistress.

That was why the old mada had been so against Princess Mingzhu and An You in the original storyline. However, the old mada was more rational compared to the original host. The original host had fallen into a whirlpool of endless pain and despair, which caused her actions to beco a little crazed.

The room was quiet. Neither Ning Shu nor the old mada spoke, so the atmosphere beca stiflingly heavy.

The old mada closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she looked towards Ning Shu and asked, “What do you think should be done about this?”

#comnt: The seven grounds for divorcing a wife in ancient China are if she does not obey the in-laws, if she has no male child, adultery, jealousy, disease, if she talked too much, and theft. There are only three conditions in which a man couldn’t divorce his wife, which is if she has no family to return to because her parents had passed away, she had observed a full, three-year mourning period for a parent-in-law, or her husband was poor when they married and is now rich.
