A car accident, our family of three crossed

Ever since the incident with Zhou Huaiyan, a rift has arisen between the Marquis' wife, the Marquis Cheng'en, and the old lady. Now, they are no longer so concerned about finding Song Ning and her son.

Therefore, when the stalker came back to report that he had lost the person, the old lady was furious, but the marquis's wife looked as if it had nothing to do with her and was drinking tea leisurely.

In fact, seeing that the old lady was unhappy, the Marquis's wife felt a sense of relief for no reason, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

As long as the other person is not happy, she will be happy.

"What's that expression on your face? Are you happy that the person has been lost?"

The old lady noticed the Marquis's gloating expression and was so angry that she wanted to pick up the teacup and smash it at her, but she finally held back.

The Marquis's wife looked indifferent and said in a rather sarcastic tone, "Mother, it's these servants who are doing their job poorly. You can take your anger out on them. Why are you taking it out on me? They are all your people."

The old lady felt as if she had punched soft cotton. A nameless anger rose in her heart, but she had nowhere to vent it, so she finally took it out on the servants who had not done their job well.

The servants hurriedly explained, "We lost them because of Young Master Ting and Miss Ru from the Fourth House. They deliberately blocked their way, giving the scholar and his family a chance to escape our sight."

"Zhou Ting, Zhou Ru, these two are traitors." The old lady was furious, but she could only mutter the names of Zhou Ting and his sister, cursing them, and even their father Zhou Huan was innocently implicated. "A bastard is a bastard. The children born to an uneducated person are equally uneducated."

The sisters Zhou Rong and Zhou Yan who were present at the event did not dare to say a word the entire time, for fear that if something gets out of hand, they would be affected.

The Marquis's wife sat aside and listened. The old lady used the same few words to scold the illegitimate son, and her ears were almost callused from listening to them.

In the past, she and the old lady were in cahoots and also disliked the marquis's illegitimate brothers. When the old lady slandered those illegitimate brothers, she actually enjoyed it.

But now, her mood has changed, and when she heard these words again, she just sneered.

What do you mean by illegitimate sons being uneducated? To be honest, the eldest son of the Marquis is not even as good as those illegitimate sons!

If one has no talent and no looks, he will only pursue pleasure and gnaw on the inheritance left by his ancestors without any ambition to make progress.

Among all the children born to the old marquis, the current marquis's eldest son is the least outstanding in appearance. Looking back, if it weren't for the hereditary title he had, she would not have looked down on him at all just because of his not-so-outstanding appearance.

She had originally thought that if she married a marquis and gave birth to two legitimate sons, the title would fall to her two sons no matter what.

Who would have thought that the world is so unpredictable and all her expectations have now become a bubble.

Her eldest son had been deposed from the throne. The emperor had spoken his mind, and there was no turning back. Besides, he was still in prison, so she was content to be able to keep his life.

The second son has now become a disabled person and is no longer able to have children. The title of Marquis Cheng'en cannot possibly fall on the head of a disabled person.

Fortunately, both sons have no hope of inheriting the title, but she still has her eldest grandson.

Although cases of intergenerational inheritance are rare in this dynasty, they do exist. As long as she plans well, it is not completely impossible to achieve.

After experiencing what happened with Zhou Huaiyan, the Marquis' wife also realized the truth of the saying that spoiling a child is like killing him. Now she treats her eldest grandson with great care and cultivates him. She is determined not to go down the same old path and will never allow her grandson to become a playboy like his father.

When the old lady was tired of scolding and stopped to take a breath, the marquis's wife stood up and said goodbye. Her eldest grandson was about to leave school, and she had to go and pick up the child in person.

When the Marquis' wife left, she also called the sisters Zhou Rong and Zhou Yan. The three of them bowed to the old lady and left her yard.

Zhou Yan was a little unhappy in her heart. She was still thinking about the loss she had suffered in front of Song Ning! She wanted to stay and listen to what the old lady would plan next.

Zhou Rong and Song Ning did not have a direct conflict. She felt that less trouble was better than more, so she forced Zhou Yan to follow the Marquis's wife.

The old lady looked at the backs of the mother and daughter as they left, and finally exploded, sweeping the teacup on the table to the ground.

"Great! Great job, everyone, you're all rebelling."

The Marquis's wife listened to the sound of the teacup breaking behind her, but remained unmoved.

Sisters Zhou Rong and Zhou Yan shuddered and secretly felt lucky that they left with them. Zhou Yan no longer had the desire to stay.

"You two should go back to your respective courtyards! I'll go to the academy to pick up your nephew after school."

After leaving the old lady's yard, the marquis's wife said something and ignored the two sisters, turning around and walking towards the gate of the mansion.

The subtle changes between the Marquis' wife and the old lady or the Marquis have been noticeable even to the servants recently, so the two sisters naturally wouldn't have failed to notice.

Marquis Cheng'en was a man after all, and he disdained to be on the same level as a woman. The marquis's wife did not give him a good look, so the worst that could happen was that he would stay in the concubine's room and not go back to the main house.

The old lady was different. She had always been in charge of the household expenses. The expenses of a large family were not small, and they often had to rely on the dowry from the marquis' wife for subsidies.

But now, the Marquis's wife has become smarter and is no longer willing to provide subsidies.

The old lady was in charge of the household chores and felt the pressure doubled. She wanted to pass this heavy burden to the Marquis' wife, but the Marquis' wife refused for various reasons. As time went by, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became increasingly strained.

On one side are their grandmother and father, and on the other side is their mother who gave birth to them. Sisters Zhou Rong and Zhou Yan are now in a dilemma, and it seems that it would be wrong to stand on either side.

After watching the Marquis' wife leave the house, the two sisters looked at each other. At this time, no one knew what to say, so they simply went back to their own courtyards.

The silent war between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion was temporarily stopped because of Zhou Rong's wedding date.

After all, when it came to planning Zhou Rong's marriage, the two of them were on the same page and would certainly not trip up each other at such an important moment.

Because Zhou Rong's wedding date is approaching, the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion has finally ushered in a festive moment in the midst of all the troubles, temporarily diluting the haze hanging over the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion.

The day before the wedding, members of the Zhou family and several branches that were separated came to give Zhou Rong some dowry, and the fourth branch was naturally among them.

Zhou Ru added a decent piece of jewelry. It was presentable for herself and not shabby for Zhou Rong, which made it impeccable.
