Chapter 220: Ma Wei at the Ending
It feels really bad to be treated with sarcasm and disgust by others.
It was as if she had returned to the three years when the original owner faced the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion. Mu Lianzhi was so upset. It seemed that if she changed her heart, she would have to relive the path of destiny with a different person and in a different way.
Old Madam Beitang was just about to say it out loud that as a widow with no noble birth, she was not worthy of Beitang Yi. If she had known better, she should have taken the initiative to find a co-wife for Beitang Yi, bring her cousin into the house, and then put herself in the title of supervisor and give up the position.
Then, you can enjoy wealth and glory, and everyone will be happy.
As for whether this worthy co-wife is the cousin Taozi in front of him, Mu Lianzhi has not yet figured it out.
With her eyelids drooped throughout, Mu Lianzhi did not argue, did not respond, and did not seem unhappy. In fact, her mind was full of thoughts. Fortunately, she was a modern person. If she was a little more sensitive, she would be depressed to death.
If you want to PUA her, she is still far away. In modern times, she has seen people who have been exposed online.
She was thinking wildly, but everything went in one ear and out the other, her thoughts drifting randomly. She hadn't even started to vent her anger by scolding Beitang Yi.
After talking for a long time without getting any response, the old lady became furious when she saw her daughter-in-law sitting there like an idiot:
"Have you heard what I said?"
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Mu Lianzhi stood up and bowed respectfully and politely:
"The granddaughter-in-law remembers her grandmother's teachings."
Then she sat back down, just as before, sitting upright with her eyelids half-closed, and that was all.
that's it?
After waiting for a while, the old lady almost fell backwards in anger:
"and then?"
"Uh?"
Mu Lianzhi raised her eyes, staring at each other with wide eyes. She was still full of confusion. All her fists seemed to be hitting cotton. With a "bang", the old lady's cup lid hit the teacup heavily, and some tea splashed out.
You can see his anger.
"Aunt, be careful of the heat."
Yang Tao stepped forward, quickly took the teacup, and wiped the back of her hand. It was unclear whether it was out of genuine concern or comfort. Anyway, when she stepped back, the old lady's anger was obviously suppressed:
"Look at Taozi, don't you know what it means to be considerate and helpful? Don't you have any upbringing and no brains? How did your parents teach you? No wonder you don't even have a sense of shame!"
She was the elder, and of a different generation, so she could tolerate it when she mentioned herself. But when she heard her mention her parents again, Mu Lianzhi became a little annoyed and immediately frowned:
"Grandma, please be careful with your words. Although my father's official position is not high, and even if it is an empty position, he is now a fifth-rank official. My marriage with you was also granted by the emperor himself. Grandma, are you questioning the emperor?"
"It takes two to tango. No matter what my parents taught me, I am not forcing a marriage. If Beitang Mansion is unwilling, you can ask the adults to send me back."
"No matter how small my Mu family is, I am just a widow and I don't eat other people's food. I won't tolerate being insulted like this."
"you--"
His face turned pale and blue, and he slammed the table. The old lady stared with her eyes wide open, almost jumping up:
"You're just talking to elders? Is this your upbringing? Ahem~"
"Cousin~"
The old lady coughed violently, and Yang Tao went over to help pat her back and pour water. She wanted to say something, but Mu Lianzhi had to swallow it back. She had to stop all attempts to leave.
The old lady was really mad that he was leaving at this time. She was now unreasonable.
It's so fucking terrible.
Mu Lianzhi took a few deep breaths and endured it. At the main seat, Yang Tao and the nanny comforted the old lady and she quickly calmed down. It must be said that this cousin was quite capable.
The old lady's face was torn, and she stopped pretending and said directly:
"You saved Yi'er's life, and we in Beitang Mansion are not ungrateful, but don't think that you can control our entire Beitang Mansion for the rest of your life just because you saved his life."
"Yier is the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. His official position will not stop there. The entire Beitang Mansion depends on him for promotion. In the future, he will have to go back and forth between various mansions and attend banquets. Not to mention whether you can handle it or not, do you have the heart to let him be criticized and embarrassed because of you?"
Mu Lianzhi really wanted to scold her and ask her why she couldn't handle it and why she was so embarrassed. Wasn't there anyone in charge of these activities when she didn't enter the mansion?
Then she thought again, there was no point in arguing, so she pursed her lips and said nothing.
There is a saying that goes, in the eyes of crows, even swans are guilty.
Thinking she had her under control, the old lady felt relieved, straightened her body, and narrowed her dim eyes again:
"Think about these carefully. It's only a matter of time."
"And Tao, all these years I have been grateful for her care and concern for me. She is well-educated, virtuous and kind. I really don't want to leave her, but I am not young anymore..."
Pulling Yang Tao's hand and patting it, the old lady glanced at Mu Lianzhi:
"Do you understand what grandma means?"
Since these words touched upon her, Mu Lianzhi could no longer remain silent. She raised her eyes and smiled:
"I understand. My cousin is old enough to get married."
"According to grandma, my granddaughter-in-law, who is a fifth-rank official, is not worthy of a third-rank official. My cousin has no family background and no official position. She is also old. If she marries a steward, it would be considered marrying up!"
"Oh, it's okay. The master has many guards and stewards under him, and there should be some single ones. If you like any one, you can tell your cousin's wife, and she will be happy to tell your cousin."
"What if someone is willing?"
"My cousin has given so much and is so virtuous. If you are going to get married, grandma will definitely prepare a dowry for you. We still have some money. If our family doesn't work, we still have some in other villages. We can still find a matchmaker or something."
"That's what grandma meant!"
"It's understandable that my cousin hasn't married yet, but after all, she's old enough, and we can't be too picky. We can't delay any longer in marrying a virtuous wife or taking in a beautiful concubine."
Mu Lianzhi's words made the old lady so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick again. Yang Tao was also ashamed and embarrassed. She concealed the fleeting jealousy in her eyes, and then a layer of mist appeared on her eyes.
"You, you, cough cough..."
"Since grandma is not feeling well, I will not disturb her to rest. I am leaving now."
Without giving the two a chance to react, Mu Lianzhi stood up and left with the maid.
After leaving the yard, Leng Yun asked with concern:
"Miss, are you okay?"
Chun Miao was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she also felt like she had lost her parents:
"Miss, this is too much. What should we do next?"
Obviously, they also realized that life in Beitang Mansion would not be any easier than in Hou Mansion.
His eyes darkened, but Mu Lianzhi didn't take it seriously:
"If enemies come, we will stop them; if water comes, we will block it with earth. If I am not welcome here, I will find another place to stay. Don't worry about it."
He casually opened the red envelope and looked at the 9.29 tael silver note inside. Mu Lianzhi was so angry that she laughed:
Oh, this old lady really doesn't give her any face at all!
She threw her hand directly to Leng Yun behind her:
"Use it to buy some wedding candy and share it with the people in the courtyard. Also--"
Turning around, she looked at Chunmiao beside her again.
