Chapter 3 Mother-in-law
Princess Runan stared at the golden lock, thoughtfully. Jiang Changning held the golden lock of the Queen Mother. It was impossible for Jiang Changning to accept her as his goddaughter and marry her on her behalf.
Then make friends with her and get along with the Queen Mother, so that the emperor will not have his mind set on his daughter.
After making up her mind, Princess Runan smiled and said: "Changning, this golden lock looks like the one that the Queen Mother is looking for, but the matter is so important that I have to ask the Queen Mother to decide it in person."
"You all listen to your Majesty." Jiang Changning trusted Princess Runan more than Mrs. Zhuang on this matter.
"This matter will trouble you." Mrs. Zhuang is the royal wife and can also enter the palace, but she cannot compete with Princess Runan for credit.
However, Jiang Changning is her grandniece. As long as the Queen Mother recognizes this kindness, the banker's benefits will not escape.
It's just that Jiang Changning has carried this golden lock with her for six years, and she doesn't even know how many things this girl is hiding from her?
Mrs. Zhuang glanced at Jiang Changning and saw that she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes as usual.
Princess Runan put the golden lock back into her purse, stood up and walked out, "Then I will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother."
Mrs. Zhuang, together with her family of children, respectfully escorted Princess Runan to the second door.
After the palace carriage left, Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Wu looked at Jiang Changning at the same time, their complicated eyes were surprisingly consistent.
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "I've been making trouble for so long. I think I'm tired of showing off to you, so I'll go back and rest first."
Old Mrs. Zhuang was not very happy that Jiang Changning had hidden the golden lock from her for six years. She calmly told Xiulan: "It's a good time to serve the girl, go down!"
"Yes, old lady." Xiulan responded hurriedly, helped Jiang Changning and turned around to leave.
Looking at Jiang Changning's slender back, Wu narrowed her eyes. Even if this girl was favored by the Queen Mother, she would not want her to be her daughter-in-law.
"Old lady, I see that my cousin is losing weight again. It must be that those little girls are not taking good care of her. Why don't we send some more loyal and honest people to serve her, so as not to make my cousin worry about everything and tire her body and bones." Mrs. Wu
I have always wanted to place someone next to Jiang Changning, but I have never been successful.
But she doesn't give up and will try it whenever she gets a chance.
Having been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for decades, Mrs. Zhuang was well aware of Wu's intentions and said coldly: "I have my own arrangements for this matter, so you don't need to worry about it."
After saying this, he held the maid's hand and left.
Wu squeezed the handkerchief tightly, this dead old woman.
Seeing Wu's defeat, Zou smiled sarcastically, flattered Ma's leg again, raised her hand to touch her forehead, "When the sun comes out, it makes people dizzy. Sister-in-law, I'm going back to the room first."
Old Mrs. Zhuang returned to the room and lay down on the soft couch. Today's events made her very tired. She never expected that Jiang Changning, who had raised her for six years, had other ideas.
It looks like a weak little rabbit, but in fact it is a fierce white-eyed wolf.
Mrs. Zhuang sat up and told the little girl, "Go and call Guixi."
After a while, Guixi came in and said, "Old lady."
"Guixi, tell me from beginning to end what happened when you went to invite your cousin."
Guixi said honestly, and Mrs. Zhuang pursed her lips tightly, with a sinister look on her face, "I really underestimated this girl!"
Guixi's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head, pretending not to hear.
Mrs. Zhuang lay back on the couch with her eyes half closed, wondering what she was thinking.
After a long time, she said: "Go and call Mrs. Liang in."
"Yes." Guixi took three steps back, turned around and walked out quickly, telling the little girl to find Mrs. Liang.
Mrs. Liang was the general manager of Mrs. Zhuang's yard. She was in the small yard at the back watching the maids and daughters-in-law doing their work.
After a while, Mrs. Liang came and said, "Old lady."
Old Mrs. Zhuang sat up and said, "My cousin, Grandma Zhou, has been out of the house for a while. Can you arrange for the elderly grandmother to come over and take care of her?"
"Replying to the old lady, my cousin said that there are enough people waiting around, and there is no need to arrange more people." Granny Liang replied.
"Damn it, that girl in the house is not surrounded by a bunch of maids and women. She understands the difficulties in the house at a young age. Are you bullying the Jiang family by neglecting her like this?" Mrs. Zhuang said angrily.
Mrs. Liang hurriedly knelt down and said: "Old lady, please forgive me, I will make arrangements right now."
"Choose a few good ones and send them to your cousin to choose." Mrs. Zhuang said.
"Yes." Mrs. Liang exited the room and wiped the non-existent sweat on her forehead.
As an old slave who had served Mrs. Zhuang for decades, she could see that the old lady's harsh words just now were just a bluff.
The old lady loved her cousin very much, but she also had some calculations in her heart.
Mrs. Liang took two shrewd old ladies to Jiang Changning's yard, "Cousin, Grandma Zhou has gone out to recuperate. Cousin, there is no reliable old man to serve here. The old lady asked the old slave to send Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Lin to provide for her.
My cousin is calling me."
Jiang Changning looked at the three women in front of him and said with a smile: "The old lady favors me again. Mother Liang, please thank the old lady for me, and I will keep you."
Mrs. Liang smiled and saluted and left, not following the rules and leaving behind the two women's deeds of prostitution.
"Xiulan, have someone clean up the corner room in the West Cross Courtyard so that the two mothers can live there." Jiang Changning ordered calmly.
She still lives in the banker's house and has not yet broken up with the banker, so she can only be controlled by Mrs. Zhuang.
"Cousin, this old slave was sent by the old lady to serve the girl." Mrs. Qin emphasized.
As the nanny next to the girl, she should live in the main courtyard and serve her closely.
If they lived in a corner room across the courtyard, it would be like sending the ministers to the frontier. How could they complete the tasks assigned by the old lady?
"The old lady sent you to serve the girl, not to tell her what to do. If you are not willing to serve her, then just send the two mothers back to the old lady." Fu Cui said quickly and honestly.
Mrs. Lin tugged on Mrs. Qin's sleeve and said with a smile: "How come I don't want to serve my cousin? It's my dream to be able to serve my cousin."
"People say that Mother Lin is eloquent, and when we met today, it turned out to be true." Jiang Changning smiled meaningfully, "You two mothers should go back to your room to tidy up, and come back tomorrow to do some errands."
"Yes, Cousin." Mrs. Lin pulled Mrs. Qin, who had an unhappy face, out.
After entering the West Cross Courtyard, Mrs. Lin let go of Mrs. Qin, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
When the two mothers-in-law came, they made an agreement that one would be a good person and the other a bad person. Only in this way could they control the cousin.
But they never thought that they would have no chance to get close to Jiang Changning in the future, let alone take advantage of her.
After sending the two women away, Fu Cui stamped her feet anxiously, "Girl, they have evil intentions, we can't keep them."
"You can see that they have bad intentions. Can't the girl see it? But if you drive them away, the old lady will replace them with two others." Xiulan threaded the silk thread into the needle.
"When the time comes, the girl will have to keep the person here." Fangju raised the curtain and walked in, "Rather than driving the person away and offending the old lady, it's better to keep the person here."
