Chapter 26: Mrs. Jiang’s Show of Power
Faced with Zhe Liu's unwilling, admiring and distressed gaze, Jiang Wansang did not react much.
She will naturally get back the grievances suffered by the original owner slowly, as long as the girl Zheliu will not be so naive and trust others so easily in the future.
She patted Zheliu's shoulder and continued walking towards the main courtyard.
Jiang Wansang was not fast. By the time they reached the main courtyard, Zhe Liu had already calmed down. His fear of the Jiang family's masters had turned into suppressed hostility.
If these people want to hurt the lady in the future, they have to get past her first!
As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Wansang saw Old Madam Jiang sitting in the center of the uppermost seat. She was dressed elegantly and looked like an old lady.
Standing beside her was Madam Li, who had tidied herself up but still had scratches on her face. Seated on chairs on either side were Meng Lianshu and Liu.
Old Madam Jiang was very particular about rules and would come to visit her every morning and evening, rain or shine. Even if she was sick, she would come to pay her respects first and would not leave until she graciously asked to let her go.
As soon as Jiang Wansang came in, everyone looked at her, which seemed a bit oppressive.
Jiang Wansang, however, was completely oblivious and even said with a smile, "Why does this scene feel so much like Tingsang Pavilion last night?"
Hearing her mention what happened last night, Meng Lianshu and Liu couldn't help but shudder, feeling a dull pain in the places where the medicine had been applied.
Old Madam Jiang frowned in displeasure, but she didn't need to speak up herself. Nanny Li, who understood her thoughts best, scolded her on the spot, "Young Miss is becoming more and more ignorant of etiquette. Why didn't you greet the old lady first when you came in?"
Jiang Wansang looked up at Madam Li, but didn't object. She stepped forward, slightly bowing, and saluted Old Madam Jiang. "Greetings, Madam."
In the past, the original owner called Old Madam Jiang "Grandma", but since Jiang Zihan came back, Old Madam Jiang disliked her as a bastard of unknown origin and was not worthy of calling her "Grandma" anymore.
So no one thought it was wrong when Jiang Wansang called her "Old Madam", and no one spoke.
The atmosphere was silent for two seconds, and Jiang Wansang immediately stopped saluting and stood up straight.
Old Madam Jiang's face darkened, and Nanny Li beside her immediately spoke up: "How dare you! Miss, the old lady hasn't even spoken yet, who told you to get up!"
Jiang Wansang looked at her calmly. "The old lady hasn't spoken yet. It's naturally because she's old. She didn't see me bowing, so I didn't bother her to speak and stood up on my own. Could it be that she didn't ask me to stand up because she was deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, pretending not to see me bowing, and wanted me to squat a little longer?"
"No way! How could the old lady be such a sarcastic, servile, and disrespectful person?"
Nanny Li was speechless for a moment.
This is indeed what the old lady meant, but she certainly couldn't say it directly!
She was speechless, but Jiang Wansang didn't shut up. "Madame Li is so eager to use the old lady's title to show off her power. Could it be that she thinks the old lady is petty and narrow-minded?"
Nanny Li's expression suddenly changed. "You're talking nonsense! I didn't do that! I..."
She didn't know how to refute, so she glanced at Old Lady Jiang carefully, her expression becoming noticeably flustered.
Old Madam Jiang's expression became even uglier, and it was unclear whether it was because of Jiang Wansang or because of Nanny Li.
"okay."
Just when Nanny Li was so flustered she didn't know what to do, Old Madam Jiang finally spoke up: "I didn't sleep well last night, and my head still hurts. With all the fussing and arguing, where did you learn any manners?"
In one sentence, he explained that he didn't notice Jiang Wansang's greeting because he had a headache, and also scolded Jiang Wansang for not knowing the rules.
What an old hag!
Jiang Wansang still stood there with a smile on his face, as if he didn't understand the meaning of her words.
Nanny Li quickly stepped aside and winked at the maid next to her.
When paying respects, one must of course offer tea.
After a while, the maid came over with a tray.
There was only a teacup on the tray, with steaming tea in it, but there wasn't even a saucer.
Before the maid came close, Jiang Wansang guessed their next trick.
Such a "warm" hospitality, just keep it for yourself!
Jiang Wansang stood there without moving, but there was a hint of darkness in his eyes.
An invisible wind suddenly blew in the room, like a hand pushing against the maid's back.
"what!"
The maid screamed and threw the tray in her hand directly towards Old Lady Jiang.
Everyone was shocked by this scene. Even Mrs. Jiang, who had been sitting there with a serious expression, changed her expression and almost jumped up from her stool.
Meng Lianshu and Liu also exclaimed and stood up immediately.
It was Nanny Li who reacted quickly and ran to block Old Madam Jiang immediately.
Having followed the old lady for so many years, she would always be the first to rush to her to block anything whenever something happened, because she knew that the old lady was of noble status and had plenty of people to protect her, so she would not be hurt at all.
Thanks to this, she has become the most popular person around the old lady over the years, so this has almost become her instinctive reaction.
Just as she thought, when they saw the teacup flying towards Old Lady Jiang, almost everyone panicked and rushed over to stop it.
Only Zhe Liu rushed towards Jiang Wansang, and he was the only person in the whole room who stood in her way.
Jiang Wansang stood still, his eyes warmer as he looked at the figure in front of him, and then he glanced at the teacup flying in the air.
The next moment, the speed at which the teacup fell suddenly increased, and the scalding hot tea poured down on Li Ma's head.
"what--"
Nanny Li's body went limp and she lay on the ground howling in pain. She wanted to cover her face with her hands but didn't dare to.
All this happened in just a few breaths. No one expected such an accident to happen, and no one thought it was related to Jiang Wansang, who had not taken any action from beginning to end.
Only the secret guards who had been hiding in the dark and "protecting" Jiang Wansang under Pei Zhanzhou's orders vaguely sensed something.
People who practice martial arts have eyesight and hearing that are far superior to ordinary people, so he could feel that something was wrong when the teacup fell just now.
But Jiang Wansang, the only person suspected of doing something, didn't move at all. It all seemed like an accident.
"Oh, I was so scared, are you okay, mom?"
"Mom, are you scared?"
Meng Lianshu and Liu quickly surrounded Old Madam Jiang, asking about her well-being with a look of fear on their faces.
Old Madam Jiang was obviously frightened, her face looked a little ugly, and then her eyes fell on Nanny Li who was lying on the ground screaming.
"What are you still standing there for? Go get a doctor!"
Nanny Li was injured because of her, but she was left lying on the ground unable to get up. If it gets out, won’t it be considered that she, the prime minister’s mother, is mistreating her servants?
These two daughters-in-law really have no tact at all!
The servant came to his senses and immediately stepped forward to support Li Ma and cleaned up the mess on the ground.
Jiang Wansang didn't move a step from beginning to end, just stood there looking like he was enjoying the show.
When Mrs. Jiang looked up, she saw her expression and was furious. "You..."
"It's time for the old lady to take care of your yard." Jiang Wansang interrupted her and pulled Zhe Liu, who had been standing in front of her and had not yet reacted, behind her.
"It's not enough that the servant was so clumsy that she almost hurt her master. But she knew that this was the tea I prepared for the old lady to pay my respects to her, yet she prepared such scalding water. Does she not care about her master, the old lady, or is she trying to murder her?"
Hearing this, the maid who was in charge of serving tea was so scared that she fell to her knees with a plop.
