Just one sentence made Mrs. Sang's face turn ashen with anger.
Before she could say anything, the eldest lady turned to look at Lin Yiwan and said, "Madam Hou, I'm afraid you've made this trip in vain. It's true that Lin Ran saved our Qiu Tang's life, but to take advantage of this favor and then ask her to marry him and serve a paralytic is truly shameless!"
Sang Qiutang hurriedly tried to stop her, "Mother, how could you say that about Lord Lin? Apologize to Wanwan now!"
The eldest lady scolded him harshly, "What apology are you asking for? You idiot, can't you even tell good words from bad? I'm your biological mother, how could I possibly harm you? She's humiliating you and our Sang family. Who can't make big promises? How can you be so sure that Lin Ran can stand up?"
The sharp voice made the room quiet in an instant, leaving only the sound of Mrs. Sang's labored breathing.
Just when the atmosphere was stagnant, the old lady suddenly cried out: "Old lady, old lady, what's wrong with you?"
The eldest lady was startled and hurried forward to check: "Mother, mother?"
Old Madam Sang stubbornly stretched out her hand to push her away, but her eyes and mouth were already crooked!
She must have had a stroke from being so angry!
The eldest lady felt guilty and shouted anxiously, "What are you all still standing there for? Go get the palace doctor, hurry up!"
Lin Yiwan did not hesitate. No matter how much the eldest lady looked down on her uncle, she could not stand by and watch him die.
She quickly stepped forward and took the silver needle and pierced the old lady's vital points.
The eldest lady knew that she was an excellent doctor, so she didn't dare to stop her.
After a while, the old lady finally felt much better. She let out a long breath, and her originally cloudy eyes became clear again.
Sang Qiutang knelt in front of her and sobbed, "Grandma, you really scared Qiutang to death!"
Madam Sang said obscurely: "Don't be afraid, Grandmother hasn't even seen you become a bride yet, how could she abandon you?"
Hearing this, the eldest lady looked a little guilty.
She said anxiously, "Mother, I didn't mean to make you sick. I just didn't want Qiu Tang to marry a paralytic!"
Madam Sang asked directly, "So do you want Qiu Tang to be sent to the Imperial Temple to cultivate his virtues with his hair untied? Or do you want him to be sent to the Zhuangzi and be imprisoned for life?"
The eldest lady bit her lip hard, and a fierce struggle flashed in her eyes.
Madam Sang scolded coldly, "I know whose slander you've heard has made you look down on Lin Ran, but he's a good man worth marrying after all. You've attended so many banquets before, and you've never heard that even though he's paralyzed, there are still many noble ladies in the capital who want to marry him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sang Qiudi, who was standing at the door, lowered his head guiltily.
Lin Yiwan immediately understood what was going on. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Old Madam, don't be angry. After all, it's just an engagement now. My uncle doesn't want to burden Qiu Tang for the rest of her life. He said in person that if his leg can't be cured, he'll set her free!"
Sang Qiutang's eyes suddenly widened. She understood the meaning of this sentence. The reason why Lin Ran asked Lin Yiwan to act as a matchmaker was not to marry her, but to help her out of trouble.
He didn't want her to be sent to the Imperial Temple to practice with her hair uncut, he!
He is really a gentle and kind gentleman!
It was too much for her mother to speculate about his thoughts and keep calling him a paralytic.
She spoke quickly, "Mother, apologize to Wanwan. After all, Lord Lin is my savior. You spoke disrespectfully to him. Is this the etiquette you follow as the wife of the Minister of Revenue?"
The eldest lady pursed her lips with difficulty, and after thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Madam Hou, I was disrespectful just now, please don't take it personally!"
Lin Yiwan said, "I will argue with you. I will never allow anyone to belittle my uncle. Even if he has bad behavior, he is still an upright, chivalrous and courageous Dali Temple Minister!"
Mrs. Sang's face turned red with embarrassment at just one sentence. She felt really ashamed and embarrassed.
Madam Sang couldn't stand it any longer and angrily scolded, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and ask the kitchen to prepare food for Madam Hou?"
Mrs. Sang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
She didn't dare hesitate any longer and turned around and left in a hurry.
Looking at her back, Sang Qiudi followed her out as if possessed.
Since the marriage was finalized, Lin Yiwan gave all the gifts she brought to Madam Sang.
When she saw the priceless Jade Cream and Pain Relief Plaster, Mrs. Sang was stunned.
She said in surprise: "Madam Hou, you are too polite!"
Lin Yiwan pursed her lips and chuckled, "You are Qiu Tang's grandmother, and even Wanwan's elder. I should give you some good things as a filial gift!"
Madam Sang immediately spoke up: "Don't set a trap for me, little girl. Anyway, as long as Lin Ran's leg can't be healed, our Qiu Tang won't marry!"
Lin Yiwan glanced at Sang Qiutang and said, "Look, your grandmother is very smart. She hasn't been dazzled by these gifts yet!"
Sang Qiutang reached out and hugged Madam Sang tightly: "Grandma, thank you!"
The atmosphere in the room was harmonious, but Mrs. Sang was in a bad mood.
Because she heard Sang Qiudi's worried reminder: "Mother, my younger sister, and Grandmother are all too naive. How could Lin Ran, as the current Dali Temple Minister, marry a woman with a tarnished reputation?"
She frowned and asked, "Qiu Di, what do you mean?"
Sang Qiudi lowered her voice and said, "I think the Marquis's promise is just a temporary solution. She must have lured my sister back to the Lin Mansion and let her take care of a paralytic!"
Madam Sang's expression changed several times, and she finally interrupted in a deep voice: "Don't make any more wild guesses. Even if Lin Ran is paralyzed for life, it's better than sending your sister to a Buddhist temple to practice Buddhism with her hair untied!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and instructed the small kitchen: "Thank you for bringing out the freshest vegetables and the venison sent from the farm. We will be hosting a banquet for our distinguished guests at noon today!"
Seeing that Mrs. Sang was busy and ignored her, Sang Qiudi was so angry that her eyes turned red.
She didn't really feel sorry for her sister marrying a paralytic, she just simply didn't want her to share the dowry with her.
As long as she was driven into the imperial temple, she would be the most valued girl in the mansion.
When the time comes, all the good things will be given to her, and she will be the most glorious girl from the Sang family in the entire capital.
Why can Sang Qiutang get married even though her reputation is ruined?
Lin Ran must be blind to fall for her!
No, she had to sow discord between Madam Hou and Sang Qiutang to cancel the engagement.
Without further hesitation, she quickly whispered a few words to the maid beside her.
Lin Yiwan and Sang Qiutang quickly came out of the old lady's yard. While they were walking, they saw a little pink ball appear in front of them.
She was holding a little duck in her hand, chirping, and it was very cute.
When she saw Sang Qiutang, she said happily, "Auntie, this is my little yellow duck. Come and hug it. It's very cute."
