A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

Chapter 116 Becoming a member of the Laughing Chapter

The old lady of the Duke's Mansion is now over sixty years old. She has white hair, ruddy complexion, round face, and a plump body. She is sitting on a brocade couch in a single shirt and a large coat. Sitting next to the old lady is the concubine of the first wife, He Liuniang.

He Liuniang's aunt had a difficult labor and died after giving birth to Liuniang.

At that time, the Duchess' wife was only in her early fifties and she loved children, so the eldest son, He Dalang, personally brought Liu Niang to the Duke's wife and asked the Duke's wife to help raise her... After that, she was raised in the Duke's wife's courtyard, and it has been ten years now.

Because she was raised in their presence and was the daughter of the eldest wife, and the biological daughter of the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, He Liuniang, a concubine's daughter, was very pampered in the mansion. On the contrary, the legitimate daughters of the second and third wives had to give way to each other.

At this moment, no one knew what the little girl He Liuniang said to coax the old lady.

The whole house was filled with laughter.

As soon as the second wife entered the yard, the person at the door reported inside.

The laughter stopped.

"Let the second wife come in."

When the second wife heard the old lady's voice, she let out a sigh from outside and walked in while talking and laughing.

"Greetings to the old lady!"

Although the second wife is the wife of a concubine's son, she has a good relationship with the old lady, her mother-in-law.

Even in trivial matters, the old lady was closer to the second wife.

If you think about the reason, it is probably because many mothers-in-law in the world will inevitably think that their sons have forgotten their mothers after marrying their daughters-in-law, and that the daughters-in-law are here to alienate the mother-son relationship. Therefore, even if they know many principles, they will inevitably bring out some in actual practice.

But it’s different for a concubine’s wife.

When a concubine's son's wife marries into the mansion, smart ones can recognize the situation, especially when the biological mother-in-law is just a concubine. If she is obedient, it's fine. But if she is restless and has no knowledge, she will often cause trouble.

The second wife was very accurate in her judgment. She knew that her husband's mother was not an easy person to deal with, so she tried her best to cling to her mother-in-law. With her mother-in-law suppressing the concubine, wouldn't she feel relieved?

The mother-in-law had been watching the concubine's arrogance and had no way to deal with her. Now, the enemy of my enemy has become my ally. Isn't it a pleasure to see the concubine's son getting married and suppressing her own mother?

Therefore, the various affairs in the mansion were divided up, and those that did not bring much profit but were very tedious were given to the second son's wife. This not only gave the second wife some benefits and made outsiders praise her magnanimity as a legitimate mother, but also reduced some work for the first wife. Unfortunately, the first wife's daughter-in-law seemed unable to appreciate her painstaking efforts!

It's really stupid!

The Second Madam was smiling before she spoke, and she was the type who made the place lively wherever she was. Wasn't she the one the Old Madam admired the most? The Old Madam let go of He Liuniang, who was in her arms, and waved to the Second Madam.

"Second brother, why are you here today? Did you smell that I have something delicious, so you hurried over here?"

The second wife took out her handkerchief to cover her mouth and laughed out loud.

"Madam, I was just listening to the maids' stories when I suddenly heard something strange. They said that my third brother's wife went to visit the Ding residence! She also brought back two precious fruits from the Ding residence and gave one to the old master and the old lady. Your daughter-in-law is very curious, so she came here to have a look."

The old lady laughed and said to the people around her, "I knew your Second Madam would come to visit for no reason. She heard that I have good things to offer, so she came all the way here!"

Everyone, including the second wife, burst into laughter.

The second wife laughed so hard that she fell backwards. When she bent down, she pulled a chair and sat down very naturally.

Not only did she sit down, she also started to act coquettishly.

"Since the old lady knows that my daughter-in-law came here just for the fruit, why don't you let her take a look? Otherwise, she won't be able to sleep tonight because of thinking about it."

The old lady raised her arm with a smile and pointed to a high-legged crystal plate on the treasure pavilion.

"There it is! Look carefully."

"Liu Niang was pestering me just now, insisting that I cut it open so that she could taste it too!"

"I was wondering if this fruit is not found in the capital, and I don't know which foreign country it was shipped from. Your third aunt is so filial that she asked to put it here. Now that everyone has seen enough of its rarity, it won't be too late to cut it open!"

The second wife half turned her body and raised her neck to glance over there.

I saw a fist-sized fruit placed on the crystal plate that looked like ice and jade.

The color of this fruit is like the finest coral, bright red and very beautiful.

Besides, she had never seen such fruit before!

The second wife was so shocked that her mouth was half open and she didn't close it for several breaths.

Well, she originally came to see the joke, but she didn't expect that she would become part of the joke.

My third brother’s wife really brought back some rare things from the Ding Mansion!

But the Ding family probably don’t have many such rare fruits, so why would they be willing to give them to my third brother’s wife?

No matter how she looked at it, she didn't think there was anything about her third brother's wife that was worthy of the Ding family making friends with her!

The second wife stood up, walked to the crystal plate and took a closer look.

If you get closer, you can smell the fruity fragrance.

This color cannot be artificially dyed.

She felt a huge sense of disappointment in her heart.

The third brother's wife only gave a piece of fruit, but she was praised by the old lady.

Maybe the old lady still thinks that it is very advisable that my third brother’s wife has a good relationship with the Ding family!

hateful!

This Qiao Zong was really snatched away by the Lin family!

But what’s the point if Lin grabs it?

If it were her, she could ask the Ding family to help find a good husband for her brother.

It’s lucky that Hu, the son born to Lin, is still alive and breathing. Mr. Lin has no use for him!

In the Weirui Courtyard, Empress Lin Yan and her two daughters were in Hu Ge'er's room at this time.

They brought back four fairy fruits, two of which they gave away, and two were left.

Lin Yanniang originally planned to give one to each of her children.

But Shan Jieer refused and insisted on sharing the meal with A Niang.

Whether it was Sister Shan or Brother Hu, they both forgot about He Sanlang intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Yanniang thought that since the fairy fruit has the word "fairy" in it, it must be somewhat magical.

Let's say the mother and her two daughters take one first, and put the remaining one in Hu Ge'er's room so that Hu Ge'er can find it pleasing to the eye. After putting it there for two days, it won't be too late for the mother and her three daughters to divide it up later.

At this moment, there was a fairy fruit cut into six pieces on the silver plate.

Some of the bright red juice has already flowed out.

"Eat quickly!"

There is only one fruit, and two have already been given away. It would be bad if the people from the first and second wives found out and came to ask for it.

The sooner you eat, the less worries you’ll have.

Shan Jieer responded, took a piece and took a careful bite.

Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were already bright.

When she went to visit someone today, she looked at the fairy fruit on the branch and was really envious.

Cheng'er from that family kept asking her if she had eaten the food and fruits at her grandmother's house.

Really, I know she has never been to Tongcheng!

This time, Lin Yanniang was not worried that Hu Ge'er would get an upset stomach.

Didn’t you hear that Mrs. He from the Ding Mansion put two of them in a jade box and sent them to her parents’ home?

How big is one third of a fruit nowadays?

Hu Ge'er's eating style is very delicate.

But although he ate slowly, he didn't look forced at all.

It is very different from the usual way of eating like taking medicine.

"Brother Hu, is this fairy fruit delicious?"

Hu Geer nodded.

Seeing that Brother Hu seemed a little more energetic than the previous two days, Lin Yanniang suddenly had an idea.

How nice it would be if I could bring my children back to Tongcheng to see my dear mother!

"Brother Hu, the little brother from the Ding family said that there are many delicious and fun things to do on our grandmother's farm!"

Come to think of it, for a grandmother to be able to give such a shining necklace and such an interesting and cute tiger-head suit as a gift, her home must be very interesting.
