Chapter 861 Shouldering 2 Rooms 5
"What are you afraid of? Is Liu going to eat me?" Jiang Chunxi sneered. "But even so, I should send someone to inform my good mother-in-law. After all, someone wants to take over her job and discipline her daughter-in-law. If she, as the mother-in-law, doesn't say anything, then people will be arrogant to her."
"Then I will go to the Madam in person," Yunzhu said, "and explain to her on behalf of my master how the servants of the Second House do not take the Master of the First House seriously."
"Well! Let's go!" As she said that, Jiang Chunxi got up from the couch, packed up her things casually, and took Yunhan to Liu's yard.
"Niece-in-law pays respects to Second Aunt," Jiang Chunxi walked into Liu's room and knelt down to greet Liu. "I wonder what Second Aunt wants you to do by calling me here."
"You kid," Liu said with a scornful smile on her face, "Can't I, as your aunt, call you over when I have nothing to do? Although you are the daughter-in-law of the eldest house, I am still your mother-in-law after all. As a mother-in-law, I need your consent before I can call you over to teach her a lesson."
As she spoke, Liu's face turned cold: "I heard that you were so arrogant just now that you even scolded the servants around me whenever you wanted. This is how you, the Jiang family, teach your daughter."
"Humph! You are really a merchant family. The daughter they taught is not presentable. It is really unfair to my son. Letting him marry a woman like you who is not presentable is simply a shame for my son in this life."
"No matter how bad my Jiang family is, it is still better than the Yongzhong Marquis's Mansion. At least in our Jiang family, there are no servants climbing over the masters' heads to show off their power," Jiang Chunxi sneered and retorted, "Second Aunt is a daughter of an official family, but why are the servants around her being taught like mad dogs?"
"I heard that when my mother-in-law was in charge of the household affairs at the Yongzhong Marquis' Mansion, the rules were strict and there had never been any signs of servants being rampant. But how come now that my second aunt is in charge of the household affairs, the servants in this mansion can climb over their masters' heads and show off their power?"
"Or," Jiang Chunxi's sneer became even more intense, "or was it Second Aunt's idea to deliberately let the servants around her look down on our eldest wife, wanting to trample our eldest wife under your feet, making us mother-in-law and daughter-in-law look at your eyes, and live in fear under your nose, so as to satisfy some shameful satisfaction in your heart."
"How dare you," Liu was naturally angry. "Jiang, who gave you the courage to speak to your elders like this? Do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"
"What do you want to do to my daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Wu came in with her people. "When did it become your turn to teach my eldest daughter-in-law? Does this show how incompetent I am as a mother-in-law? Or does it show how capable you are?"
"But it's also true that my sister-in-law is now the wife of the Marquis of Yongzhong. Naturally, she is different from before. Of course, she can handle things more patiently. It is only natural that she doesn't take our eldest wife seriously."
"Sister-in-law, aren't you embarrassing me by saying that?" Liu stood up and walked towards Wu. "Sister-in-law, did I do something wrong that made you misunderstand me?"
"Sister-in-law, you have been sisters-in-law for twenty years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? So you must not listen to any slander and create any estrangement with me."
What exactly is going on?
Why would Wu stand up for Jiang Chunxi? Shouldn't she hate Jiang to death?
"Your words really irritate me, sister-in-law." Mrs. Wu glanced at Mrs. Liu. "Our first branch now depends on your second branch to survive. How dare I have any estrangement towards you, sister-in-law? However, no matter how much you bully someone, there must be a limit. It seems that it is not your turn to teach my daughter-in-law!"
"Or is it that the so-called shouldering two wives is actually a joke? In the eyes of my sister-in-law, Jiang is your daughter-in-law, not the daughter-in-law of our eldest wife at all. That's why you can so confidently bypass me, your mother-in-law, and discipline Jiang."
"Sister-in-law," Mrs. Liu wiped away tears with an aggrieved look, "You really hurt my heart by saying that. I called my niece-in-law here just to give her a few instructions. How can I talk about disciplining her?"
Mrs. Liu looked worried. "I heard that my sister-in-law has had nightmares every night in recent days. I was really worried when I found out. That's why I called my niece-in-law over. I want her to be more filial to you and not hide in her own yard all the time. She should come to serve you every day."
"Haha!" Mrs. Wu sneered, "My sister-in-law is really capable. She has only been in charge of the household for a short time, but she dared to plant people in my yard. If my sister-in-law hadn't said it herself, I wouldn't have known that my every move was under her surveillance."
In the past few days, Mrs. Wu still had dreams every day. She dreamed that her husband and son cried out that their deaths were unjust, and asked her to avenge them, otherwise they would not be able to reincarnate.
Anyway! Mrs. Wu was 100% sure that her husband and son were killed by the second wife. If she hadn't cared about her mother's family's reputation and didn't want to ruin it because of her, a married woman, she would have wanted to kill the second wife's family and her mother-in-law, the old witch, and die with them.
Liu's eyes flashed with annoyance, but it was only a flash. She suppressed her inner annoyance and said, "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? I don't have the ability to order the servants in your yard around. It's nonsense to say that I'm monitoring you."
"Besides, what reason do I have to monitor you?" Liu sighed helplessly, "Alas! Sister-in-law, if you have any opinions about me, just say it directly. We have been sisters-in-law for so many years. If I really did something wrong, I will not be able to quibble."
"Second aunt, it's really boring for you to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth," Jiang Chunxi came to Wu's side, "Didn't my mother-in-law make it very clear when she came in? But Second aunt still insisted on emphasizing how wronged she was in an innocent tone, which made it seem as if my mother-in-law was bullying you, her sister-in-law."
"Jiang," Liu's face immediately turned cold, "Do you have the right to interrupt the elders when they are talking?"
"My daughter-in-law didn't say anything wrong, so why can't you interrupt?" Mrs. Wu sneered, "Sister-in-law, put yourself in the right place. It's not your turn as an outsider to discipline other people's daughters-in-law. Even if my daughter-in-law said something wrong, it's not your turn to scold her."
