A car accident, our family of three crossed

The old lady of the Duke's Mansion did not intend to deal with them any more. After explaining the reason directly, she asked them to take the person back and discipline him properly.

However, the old lady of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion was unwilling to accept this loss. She did not leave immediately, but raised doubts: "But we heard that there was a little kid present at the time. Since no one saw what happened with their own eyes, how can we be sure that it was my little granddaughter who did it? Children have limited ability to explain, so we can't take it seriously."

When the old lady of the Duke's Mansion heard this, she was immediately displeased, her face darkened, and she warned coldly: "Madam Zhou, I'm giving you a way out, don't be ungrateful. Since you, the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, don't know how to discipline your daughter, I don't mind finding someone to help you discipline her."

The old lady of Marquis Cheng'en was startled when she heard this, and she came to her senses instantly. With the status of their Marquis Cheng'en Mansion, they had no right to show off in front of the Duke Zhenguo Mansion.

What's more, based on her understanding of her granddaughter, it was most likely this girl who did it, otherwise why would she be so quiet? She should have cried out for justice long ago.

Since they were the ones who were in the wrong, the fact that the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion did not pursue the matter further was already a way for the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion to get out of the way.

After figuring this out, the old lady of Cheng'en Marquis said nothing more and went down the stairs.

"Thank you, Madam Chu, for your kindness. I will take this girl back and discipline her properly."

After apologizing, the group left in disgrace and hurried to the courtyard of the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion where they were resting.

After returning to the yard, Zhou Yan threw herself into the arms of the old lady of Cheng'en Hou and cried about her grievances. She did not think that she was at fault at all, but blamed all the grievances she had suffered today on Song Ning and her son.

"It's all the fault of that mother and son. If they hadn't been meddling in other people's business, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

It was just a little beast, she dealt with it quietly, and no one else would know about it. But the mother and son happened to see it and jumped out to meddle in her affairs.

The old lady of Cheng'en Marquis and the Marquis's wife heard the key point from her words and asked, "Which family in the capital are the mother and son from?"

Zhou Yan said with disdain and anger: "They are not the ladies and gentlemen of the capital at all. They are just country bumpkins from a small county town, and are the family members of the candidates who came to the capital to take the imperial examination with the fourth room."

"What's their relationship with the Fourth House?"

"How can it be okay? Don't you know that Zhou Ru and that woman are in a good relationship? She keeps calling her sister, as if she is a family member and we are strangers."

The old lady of Cheng'en Marquis didn't know Song Ning, but Zhou Rong, who had been listening quietly, seemed to remember something and said, "Are you talking about that Miss Song?"

"Yes, it's them." Zhou Yan not only blamed Zhou Ru, but also her own sister Zhou Rong: "You are just like that bitch Zhou Ru. Last time, you even called me sister! Isn't it just because I have some money? How hypocritical."

Zhou Rong was furious when she heard this. Her own sister was willful and capricious, but she had no brains and was becoming more and more unreasonable.

"What is going on, Rong Jie'er, please tell me."

Neither the old lady nor the marquis' wife had ever heard them mention this matter, so they immediately asked Zhou Rong to tell them in detail what happened that day.

So Zhou Rong told the story of how they met Zhou Ru and Song Ning, mother and son, in Hongzhuang Pavilion that day. What she said was relatively objective, but Zhou Yan kept contradicting her.

"I thought it was a rare opportunity to meet Sister Ru, so I asked her to accompany me to try on wedding dresses. Mrs. Song is Sister Ru's good friend, so I wouldn't want to ignore her."

Whenever she said something, Zhou Yan would interject with something unpleasant: "It's not good to ignore her, but you just want to get close to her because she has a little money."

Zhou Rong was helpless as Zhou Yan was being so unreasonable. He didn't want to argue with her. His grandmother and mother would decide who was right and who was wrong.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan saw that she didn't respond and continued, "In order to please the Fourth House, I even let Zhou Ru try on my wedding dress. I wanted to give it a try. You actually devalued me to nothing. If you please the Fourth House, you can get half of the family property or something? You even went so far as to be mean to me to protect Zhou Ru. If you don't know, you would think that bitch Zhou Ru is your real sister!"

“Zhou Yan, you…” Zhou Rong had never expected that Zhou Yan would bear such a grudge just because of that little conflict, and would remember it till now. “We are sisters, I will never hurt you, you really hurt my heart by saying that, Grandma, Mother, you should talk to her about that matter yourselves!”

Zhou Rong left a few words and ran out wiping her tears sadly.

Zhou Yan muttered to her back, "I don't feel wronged at all! She feels wronged, so what if I wronged her?"

"Okay, Sister Yan, you were being unreasonable that time."

From Zhou Rong's narration just now, the old lady and the marquis' wife roughly understood, and also knew the purpose of Zhou Rong's action. However, it was not convenient to talk about that matter with Zhou Yan for the time being. This girl was not careful with her mouth, and it would be a disaster if she told others about it.

"Okay, Sister Yan, you were being unreasonable that time."

"Grandma, mother, why do you always think about my elder sister? It's always my fault."

"Okay, there's no need to mention that anymore. Your elder sister did nothing wrong. There are some things that I can't tell you now. You will know them in the future."

It’s hard to go into detail about that incident, but Zhou Yan had to be appeased, so the women in Cheng’en Marquis’ Mansion directed their hatred towards Song Ning and his mother.

"However, a small family of Juren dares to look down upon the Cheng'en Marquisate. Sister Yan, don't worry, we will settle this account with them later."

They can't defeat the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so are they afraid of a mere juren?

On the other side, in the courtyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the old lady sent away the people from the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion, and she couldn't wait to go to the inner courtyard to meet Song Ning and his mother.

She looked so anxious that it was only after Aunt Qiu reminded her that she calmed down a little.

At that time, Song Ning and her son were arranged to rest in the warm room. Tea, snacks and snacks were available, and there were maids in the room waiting to be ordered around.

Song Ning felt flattered by this thoughtful attitude. He leaned over to Qing Shuang's ear and whispered, "What do you think this old lady means?"

Qing Shuang replied: "Maybe the old lady knows our identities. Don't worry, madam, she will find out soon."

Song Ning thought about it, yes, didn't she also know the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion? With Chu Fang moving between the two families, it was not surprising that the old lady knew their identities.
