Chapter 179 Mother-in-law is tired of sitting, so let’s stand and wait
Jiang Wanqing carried Xiaoxiao into the house.
Took a glance.
Seeing that Old Madam Zhou was sitting at the head seat, Song Nansheng was also standing aside waiting.
However, Song Nansheng's expression looked a little ugly.
Jiang Wanqing could guess it.
Song Nansheng has not met Zhou Zigu in the past few days.
But Song Nansheng didn't have the money to redeem the hairpin.
Then, we can only take it from Old Madam Zhou.
That’s ten thousand taels of gold.
When Song Nansheng pawned her gold hairpin, she only got five thousand taels.
However, after a period of time, it would cost 12,000 taels of gold to redeem it.
I’m afraid if Old Madam Zhou knew about this, she would be so angry that she would bleed.
Jiang Wanqing felt much better when she thought that she had earned five thousand taels of gold without doing anything.
Then, he bowed slightly to Old Madam Zhou and saluted.
Then he slowly explained: "If mother-in-law feels tired of sitting and waiting, she can also wait standing."
As soon as these words came out.
Old Madam Zhou widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Wanqing in disbelief.
Song Nansheng, who was standing by, also found it a little unbelievable.
With an awkward smile, he tried to smooth things over for Jiang Wanqing, hoping to get Old Madam Zhou to step down.
So he asked, "Cousin-in-law, did you not sleep well last night? Why are you still talking nonsense now?"
Jiang Wanqing glanced at Song Nansheng indifferently.
Perhaps he thought of the five thousand taels of gold contributed by Song Nansheng, so he did not make trouble.
He just replied, "What nonsense is that? If the mother-in-law doesn't want to sit and wait, then she must have sat for too long and wants to wait standing up. Otherwise, why don't you ask the servants to bring the mother-in-law's bed over? Let the mother-in-law lie down and wait?"
Old Madam Zhou's face turned pale and blue.
He slapped the table and said, "You are so arrogant! The question now is how to wait? Isn't it that you asked me to wait for you? Whose daughter-in-law doesn't get up early to pay her respects to her mother-in-law? Why is it that only the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is so precious? You are not filial to your mother-in-law at all!"
Song Nansheng couldn't help but take a step forward, patted Madam Zhou on the back, and said in a calm tone, "Aunt, you must take care of yourself and don't get angry."
After saying that, Song Nansheng looked at Jiang Wanqing again and said, "Cousin, you are really something. Why do you have to argue with your aunt?"
Before Jiang Wanqing could reply.
The next second, Old Madam Zhou waved Song Nansheng's hand away unhappily.
It seems that Madam Zhou still cares a lot about the ten thousand taels of gold.
Song Nansheng was also somewhat embarrassed by Madam Zhou's action.
Jiang Wanqing looked at Song Nansheng with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "Miss Song! I call you cousin for the sake of the deceased Zi Gu, but you are just a girl from the Song family. Who allowed you to live in my house, eat my food, and lecture me? You should know some rules when you live under someone else's roof."
Listening to Jiang Wanqing's words about the difficulties she faced with Song Nansheng.
Old Madam Zhou frowned.
He looked at Jiang Wanqing and shouted, "Jiang Wanqing! What do you mean? I invited Nan Sheng here. She is also Zi Gu's savior. It doesn't matter if she stays in my house for a few years!"
After all, Song Nansheng has the same surname as Old Madam Zhou. Although Old Madam Zhou is a little angry with Song Nansheng, in the final analysis, she and Song Nansheng are still in the same boat.
Facing the aggressiveness of Old Madam Zhou.
Jiang Wanqing, however, showed some weakness in her expression.
He sighed and said, “What kind of words are you talking about, mother-in-law? I naturally have no problem with Sister Nan Sheng.
I just feel that Sister Nan Sheng has been staying in our house for so long, and I used to give her money every day. So I am naturally nice to Sister Nan Sheng.
Now the monthly allowance from the Marquis of Xingchang’s Mansion is not enough, but it is also used by sister Nansheng.
I was so kind to Sister Nan Sheng, but I didn't expect that Sister Nan Sheng would scold me like a master, more like a master than you, mother-in-law. I felt a little unhappy. "
Song Nansheng's face turned pale as he explained, "Cousin, I didn't mean that..."
Jiang Wanqing's show of weakness reminded Old Madam Zhou of how much money she had spent on Song Nansheng.
It's not just the money that Jiang Wanqing gave her, but Zi Gu also took away most of the family property, and a lot of it must have been spent on Song Nansheng.
Now, Song Nansheng had to take out another 10,000 taels of gold from his own private money.
When she thought of all these debts, Mrs. Zhou still felt a little dissatisfied with Song Nansheng at the moment.
Especially after hearing what Jiang Wanqing said and how he acted like a host, Old Madam Zhou felt even more displeased.
I'm not dead yet, what does Song Nansheng want to do!
At that moment, Old Madam Zhou looked at Song Nansheng unkindly.
Song Nansheng also noticed something was wrong.
Looking at Old Madam Zhou's slightly unfriendly gaze.
She immediately said, "Aunt, Nan Sheng will always be your junior and Mu Sheng's elder. Now, Nan Sheng is staying here just to take care of you and Mu Sheng on behalf of Brother Zi Gu."
When Zhou Musheng's name was mentioned, Madam Zhou's expression looked a little better.
The Song Nansheng in front of him gave birth to the only boy in the Zhou family.
Old Madam Zhou regained her composure.
He glanced at Jiang Wanqing coldly: “After saying so much, you still haven’t said anything about your disrespect for your mother-in-law!”
Jiang Wanqing raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly.
I actually underestimated Song Nansheng.
Unexpectedly, Song Nansheng's few words made Old Madam Zhou let go of her prejudice against her.
In just a moment, he looked tearful while holding little Jiang Wanqing.
Covering her face, she said, "Mother-in-law, before Xiaoxiao was born, every day did I not do my best to take care of you and the huge Xingchang Marquisate?
I am just a weak woman who has given birth to a child. Now that Zi Gu has passed away, I just want to take good care of Zi Gu's only biological blood. I believe that mother-in-law will not treat Zi Gu's only biological blood harshly, right?"
Old Madam Zhou frowned and glanced at Xiaoxiao in Jiang Wanqing's arms with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
How could Xiaoxiao be Zi Gu’s only biological descendant?
However, to say the word "harsh" is an exaggeration.
Madam Zhou said immediately: "Xiaoxiao is already this old, you can also hire a few wet nurses for her. This has nothing to do with your filial piety to your mother-in-law."
Jiang Wanqing wiped her tears and said, "If Xiaoxiao wants to eat other people's food, that's fine, but she only eats her daughter-in-law's food."
This scene made it seem that Madam Zhou was not so reasonable.
Madam Zhou snorted coldly.
He stopped talking.
At this time.
Jiang Wanqing looked at Song Nansheng again: "I wonder if my mother-in-law and sister Nansheng called me here today because of the two gold hairpins?"
