The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 527 Old Sisters

Old Mrs. Wang was unwilling to entertain any more guests and asked Ma to take over.

Ma thought to herself that her performance during the day was indeed poor, and now she had to face the ladies of the Jiang family, so she was naturally apprehensive.

It's one thing for her to lose face, or to be ridiculed, but it's another for her to disgrace her mother-in-law and cause the Wang family to be looked down upon. That would be her sin.

He then shamelessly asked the old lady to help him save face.

Grandma Wang then arrived.

"We'll accept the gifts. As for the marriage, it's ultimately a matter for the two children. This old woman, half-buried in the ground, has nothing to say." Grandma Wang seemed oblivious to Madam Jiang's stiff smile, and continued, "Our Wang family has plenty of everything, especially boys. They're all tough; even if they're beaten until they vomit blood, they'll recover in six or seven years. It's their own bad luck. I only taught them to be kind and warm-hearted, forgetting to teach them to be wary of others. That was my mistake."

The First Madam could barely continue speaking; how could this old lady speak like that?!
They both came to apologize with great sincerity!
The First Madam is the biological mother of the Second Young Master and Second Miss Jiang. There is also an Eldest Young Master, who is also her child.

The eldest daughter and the third young master, who is still in a coma, are the children of the second wife.

The second wife pressed down on her wrist, signaling her to calm down, before smiling and stepping forward to say to Old Madam Wang, "Old Madam, to be honest, our Jiang family is in the wrong here, and we have shown our sincerity. Your grandson saved my child, and I am deeply grateful and will never forget it, but your words just now were somewhat unpleasant—"

"Feeling bad? That's to be expected." Old Mrs. Wang's face turned cold. "Our Erlang saved your child, and we accepted your gifts of gratitude and apologies. Now you want our Erlang to be your son-in-law? There's no way you're repaying kindness with enmity!"

The First Madam and the Second Madam were both dumbfounded.

How could you repay kindness with enmity?

Although the second young lady of the Jiang family is a bit more outgoing and unlike ordinary young ladies, she still possesses all the proper etiquette and manners.

Even the families who want to marry her now are not bad!
At least before, the Wang family was completely out of their consideration. "Old sister, you're mistaken!" The old lady of the Jiang family, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't hold back and said, "Our Jiang family's daughter has been carefully raised since birth. Not to mention marrying into the royal family, she would be worthy of being the wife of an official. How could it be a disservice to your Wang family's second son?"

Grandma Wang: "You can still say something? I thought your Jiang family had brought out a mute old Buddha statue to intimidate me and give me a hard time."

Before Old Madam Jiang could erupt in anger, Old Madam Wang continued, "Your Jiang family raises your children with such care, while our Wang family raises them carelessly? If you ever came to our house, you would know that every single one of our children is raised with painstaking effort and the full support of the entire family! In our family, there is no distinction between young and old, nor any tainted distinction between嫡 (legitimate) and 庶 (illegitimate) children. As long as they are my Wang family's children, we cherish them like precious gems. If you harm any of them, our Wang family will never be finished!"

The Wang family children who were eavesdropping all subconsciously touched their chests.

Are they that important to Grandma?

"Our second son is also a man of exceptional talent and appearance. He is destined to become a top-ranking scholar in the imperial examinations. Even if he doesn't achieve the best of luck, he will still become a fourth-rank official. Moreover, his future is far more promising! How could your Jiang family daughter marry such a fine son-in-law? Now you have ruined his health and are even thinking of ruining his marriage. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?!"

Wang Erlang, who was craning his ears inside the room, and Madam Ma, who was next to Old Lady Wang, were both stunned by what they heard.

The old lady actually has such high expectations for me/our Erlang?
Only Qin Huai listened from the side with a look of relief on his face.

She had such high expectations for the grandsons of the Wang family who were disliked by their grandmother. If it were her favorite grandson, Ayu, what kind of expectations would she have?
Fortunately, he was young and naive and had made an appointment with Ayu in advance.

Otherwise, given the current system of seniority, Grandma might have arranged a legitimate prince for Ayu, ensuring she would live a life of wealth and honor in the highest position, even if she didn't become empress.

At that point, he'll be left with nothing but frustration.
