Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 402: Madam Wang’s Resentment

"In fact, it is a good choice for Rulan to marry into the Wang family. She is just like her mother, without any scheming. If she marries into another family, I don't know how much suffering she will have to endure." said Old Lady Sheng.

Apart from this, there is something else she didn't say.

Although the old man of the Wang family is worthy of being enshrined in the Taimiao, the Wang family has long been in decline over the years.

This can be seen from the fact that Wang's uncle is still in the local area.

On the contrary, Sheng Hong of the Sheng family has a higher official position than his uncle from the Wang family. His eldest daughter married into the Earl's mansion, and his eldest son not only passed the imperial examination, but is also about to marry the eldest daughter of the Hai family.

The Sheng family is prospering, while the Wang family is declining.

Old Madam Sheng was still grateful for the Wang family's kindness in marrying off their daughter. Without the Wang family's help, Sheng Hong's career would not have been so smooth.

Marrying Rulan into the Wang family is not only a way to repay the Wang family's kindness in the past, but it is also a good choice for Rulan.

However, Old Mrs. Wang did such a foolish thing.

"Let's not talk about this. The eldest lady in our family is ignorant. I have told her many times to have less contact with her sister, but she just wouldn't listen. She even colluded with her to lend money at high interest. Fortunately, she didn't make a big mistake. It would be a good thing if she could recognize her sister this time." said Old Lady Sheng.

"Madam, your idea is good, but I feel that if Lady Kang says a few words to fool her, the lady will forget it." Madam Fang shook her head.

She has been in the Sheng family for many years, so how could she not know Madam Wang's temperament.

People say that once a wound heals, the pain is forgotten, but Madam Wang’s scar hasn’t even healed yet, yet she has forgotten the pain.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Sheng opened her mouth and sighed.

"Mother! Mother!"

Just then, Mrs. Wang's voice was heard outside.

There was a cry and endless grievance in the shout.

After a while, Mrs. Wang, with red and swollen eyes and a haggard look, walked in.

"Mother."

Madam Wang bowed and said, "You must make the decision for me!"

"You are the mistress of the family. Bo'er's marriage has been arranged. You will be a mother-in-law soon. How can you make such a fuss? Sit down and talk slowly if you have anything to say." Old Lady Sheng said with a stern face.

Mrs. Wang heard that Old Lady Sheng had returned, so she went to her to complain and ask for help. However, she never expected that as soon as they met, she was scolded instead, which made her feel even more aggrieved.

Mother Liu pulled her and said, "Madam, the old lady is right. Sit down and talk slowly."

Madam Wang sat down after hearing this, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Mother, how can this be possible? I thought the Wang family is getting worse and worse, so I wanted to marry my daughter to them out of good intentions, so that the two families would be closer. My eldest sister-in-law agreed, but now she has suddenly changed her mind. If this gets out, how can Rulan and I face people?"

Old Madam Sheng's eyes narrowed and she asked, "Did you tell anyone about your plan to marry into the Wang family?"

"No." Madam Wang was startled when she heard this, and quickly shook her head and said, "I have been praying for Changbai at home recently, and I have hardly left the house, so naturally I haven't told anyone."

Old Madam Sheng heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this and said, "The Wang family is your family after all. You come to me, what can I do? Do you want me to go to the Wang family and make a scene, and then both families will be embarrassed?"

"No, the daughter-in-law just wants mother to write a letter to question her." Mrs. Wang said.

Old Madam Sheng sighed and said, "You still don't understand the inside story of this matter? Your sister-in-law is also from a famous family. How could she do such a thing? Even if she wants to regret it, it is because there are better options than the Sheng family. Doesn't she know who is stronger between the Kang family and the Sheng family?"

"Mother, do you mean that this was my brother's idea?" Mrs. Wang asked in surprise.

Seeing that Madam Wang still didn't understand, Old Lady Sheng raised her voice a few notches: "This was my mother-in-law's idea, and your sister was involved. You should have told your sister that you planned to marry Rulan into the Wang family, right?"

Madam Wang was a little incredulous when she heard this and said, "This is impossible!"

"How many times have I told you to stop associating with your sister, but you didn't listen. Even now, you still believe her. How many times have your husband and your brother helped her to deal with the aftermath over the years? Didn't you say before that your brother and sister-in-law don't like your sister very much? Do you think they will let their son marry a girl from the Kang family?

Your sister-in-law had promised before that she would tell your mother-in-law about this matter. Now she suddenly changed her mind, it must be that your sister asked your mother-in-law, and your mother-in-law spoke. "Old Lady Sheng said.

"Isn't mother too partial? She has always favored my sister since she was young, and now she has even done something like this. Do I have no place in her heart at all?"

Mrs. Wang couldn't accept this reality and burst into tears.

"Okay, don't feel aggrieved. Have less contact with your sister in the future. Now that Changbai's marriage is settled, I will talk to Hong'er to return the housekeeper power to you. You can arrange Bai'er's marriage. As for Rulan, you can find another one for her." said Old Lady Sheng.

"Don't worry, mother. If she dares to come to our house again, I will have someone kick her out!" Madam Wang said gritting her teeth.

"I hope so." Old Mrs. Sheng did not comment.

Madam Wang scolded Lady Kang so harshly that she almost swore an oath.

Old Mrs. Sheng was too lazy to listen to this and sent her back.

……

"Hehe...hehe..."

"Fifth sister, are you okay?" Minglan looked at the silly-smiling Rulan and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, I'm happy." Rulan waved her hand.

"Are you really okay?" Minglan asked suspiciously.

"I'm really fine, Minglan. You know, the Wang family has broken off the engagement, so I can marry Brother Jing." Rulan said with a smile.

Minglan: "..."

She really didn't know the direct connection between Wang's regret of the engagement and marrying Wen Yanjing.

"Fifth sister, don't be too optimistic. I asked Brother Ziqian to find your Brother Jing, but he hasn't expressed anything so far. You can't just go to the eldest lady and tell her that you want to marry Wen Yanjing, right?" Minglan reminded.

"Impossible. Brother Jing must have heard that mother was going to marry me to the Wang family, and he was disheartened and didn't come to our house. When he knew that the marriage with the Wang family didn't go through, he would definitely come to propose marriage." Rulan said.

Minglan: "..."

She really wanted to say that the news of the marriage between the Sheng family and the Wang family had never been spread outside. Even the servants in the family, except for a few, no one knew about it. How could Wen Yanjing know it?

But looking at Rulan's expression, I'm afraid she won't listen.

"Minglan, are you doing me a favor!" Rulan said, grabbing Minglan's hand.

"What help?" Minglan asked.

"Mrs. Wu sent an invitation to the polo club to our family. I heard that the young scholars who passed the imperial examination will also be invited to participate. Brother Jing failed the exam and will not be invited, but Brother Ziqian will definitely be invited. You can ask Brother Ziqian to bring Brother Jing along. I want to meet him." Rulan said.

"No!"

Minglan pulled her hand away and said, "Aren't you asking me to help you meet someone in private?"
