Chapter 530: Old Sisters
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Madam Wang was originally unwilling to entertain them anymore and only let Madam Ma take over.
Madam Ma thought that her performance in the day was indeed not good. Now that she had to face the Madams of the Jiang Family, she was naturally afraid.
It was fine if she lost face, and it did not matter if she was mocked. But if she embarrassed her mother-in-law and caused others to look down on the Wang Family, it would be her fault.
She thickened her face and asked the old lady to help handle the situation.
Only then did Old Madam Wang come.
“We’ll accept the gift. As for the marriage, it’s a matter between the two children after all. As an old woman with half her body buried in the ground, 1 have nothing to say.” Old Madam Wang did not seem to see the Jiang Family’s First Madam’s stiff smile and said, “Our Wang Family doesn’t have much. We only have a lot of boys. All of them are tough and only puked blood from the beating. They’ll recover after 6 to 8 years. They can only blame themselves for being unlucky. In the past, I only taught them to be kind and warm-hearted, but I forgot to teach them to be vigilant against others. It’s my fault.”
First Madam could not continue speaking. Why was this old lady talking like this?!
They had all come to apologize sincerely!
First Madam was the biological mother of Second Young Master Jiang and Second Miss. There was also the First Young Master who was also her child.
As for the Eldest Miss and the unconscious Third Young Master, they were Second Madam’s children.
Second Madam held her wrist and gestured for her to calm down. Only then did she take a step forward with a smile and say to Old Madam Wang, “Old Madam, at the end of the day, our Jiang Family is in the wrong in this matter. We’ve also shown our sincerity. I’m grateful that your grandson saved my child and we definitely won’t dare to forget it. But your words just now are also a little uncomfortable—”
“Uncomfortable? That’s right then.” Old Madam Wang’s face turned cold. “Our Erlang saved your children, so after we accept the thank-you gift and the apology, we’ll have to give our Erlang to be your son-in-law? I’ve never seen anyone repay kindness with ingratitude like this!”
This time, First Madam and Second Madam were dumbfounded.
Repay kindness with ingratitude?
Although Second Miss Jiang of the Jiang Family was a little more cheerful and did not look like an ordinary young lady, she still had the etiquette and manners she should have.
The family that she marries into needs to be very good too!
At the very least, in the past, the Wang Family was completely not within their consideration.
“Old Sister, you’re wrong!” Matriarch Jiang, who had been silent all this while, finally could not hold it in anymore. She raised her voice and said, “Our Jiang Family’s daughter has been carefully raised since she was born. Not to mention being worthy of being a member of the royal family, she’s even worthy of being an official’s wife. How is it a bad thing for your Wang Erlang to marry her?”
Old Madam Wang: “You can still speak. I thought that your Jiang Family carried an old Buddha statue that doesn’t know how to speak and brought it here to establish an imposing aura.”
Before Matriarch Jiang could flare up in exasperation, Old Madam Wang said, “Your Jiang Family’s children are carefully raised, but our Wang Family’s children are raised crudely? As long as you come to our house to take a look, you’ll know that every single one of our children was raised with a lot of effort and the entire family’s strength! In our family, there’s no difference between the old and young, and there’s no rotten relationships involving legitimate wives and concubines. As long as they’re children of our Wang Family, they’re raised with great care, like baby cubs held in the mother’s mouth. They’re all treasures. Whoever touches them will see the wrath of our Wang Family!”
The children of the Wang Family who were eavesdropping subconsciously touched their chests.
Were they that important in Grandma’s heart?
“Our Erlang also has the appearance of a dragon and phoenix. In the future, he will be a top three imperial civil service scholar. No matter how badly a top three imperial civil service scholar performs he will be able to become a fourth-grade official. Moreover, Erlang’s future is far more than that! How can your Jiang Family’s daughter marry such a good man? Now that you’ve harmed his body, you’re still thinking of damaging his future married life. If this isn’t repaying kindness with ingratitude, what is?!”
Wang Erlang, who had his ears stretched out in the room, and Madam Ma, who was beside Old Madam Wang, were all stunned.
The old lady actually had such high expectations for me/our Erlang?
Only Qin Huai looked relieved when he heard this.
Grandma had such high expectations of the grandsons of the Wang Family who were despised by her. If it was her favorite Ah Yu, what kind of expectations would she have?
Fortunately, he had made an appointment with Ah Yu in advance.
Otherwise, in terms of her expectations on social status, Grandma might really require All Yu’s match to be a legitimate prince. She had to live a wealthy and privileged life, even if she didn’t become a queen.
At that time, he could only watch helplessly..
