“Ms. Xu, you are pregnant, you can go back to your room to rest.”
Concubine Du still glanced about as she sat down, hearing what Ms. Fang said to Ms. xu.
Ms. Xu also noticed that the visitors were not up to any good. But these were the in-laws of the family and her mother-in-law should be able to handle it.
She was going to be in labor soon and she really could not help her being here. What if some accident happened… that would be horrible!
So, she smiled and left the threshold.
Qiao Kou could not stand it but forced out a false smile. “Aunt Fang, you are lucky. My Second Sister’s dowry must have paid for everything in this house, didn’t it? My Second Sister has got so much money!’
Ms. Fang glanced at her. “What do you know, little girl? Don’t go around spreading rumors. Ms. Qiao’s dowry is her own property. No in-laws would use daughter-in-laws’ dowry. You are just a little girl. Where did you hear such rumors?”
“You!” Qiao Kou flushed, angry.
Concubine Du got angry and her face sank. “You…”
“If I remember correctly, you are a concubine right?”
Concubine Du.
Qiao Kou shouted immediately. “So what? A concubine is superior to you countryside people! ‘t
Ms. Fang struck the table hard, sneering despite whether they had got frightened. “If that is the case… what is the point of coming to our home? You are too noble for us to serve, aren’t you? So, you can leave now.”
Ms. Fang stood up and shouted at them. “Just leave now. Or I will use a broomstick. We countryside people are always very rough.”
“You are driving us away?” Qiao Kou sneered. “Mother sent us here, and you are driving us away?”
“l am a generation older than you, and you dare shout at me and lecture me? You are also saying that a concubine is superior to me? Does this mean your mother wanted you to say all of this? Then, I will ask everyone around if it is reasonable. Best that there is a conclusion drawn out of it!”
“You…”
“Third Miss!” Auntie Ling could not stand it any more. All this while, she had been watching the show. If this countryside woman truly drove them out with a broomstick, that would be so humiliating!
Also, this countryside woman was very reasonable in this matter.
Auntie Ling could tell that this countryside woman was not someone to be bullied easily. No wonder they always said that poor places tended to breed poor people.
“In-law, please, Madame Qiao sent us here to ask a few questions. The concubine doesn’t know how to behave and Third Miss doesn’t know manners. Please excuse us. Madame Qiao would never tell them to do so, you have misunderstood us!”
Ms. Fang sat down and snorted. “Oh, is that so? I neve expected my daughter-in-law’s mother to have such an idea. So, will they apologize to me since they made a mistake like this?”
Auntie Ling stiffened.
Concubine Du’s face changed and Qiao Kou almost shouted out something
loudly again. But Auntie Ling glared at them so they stopped.
“Yeah, yeah…”
Auntie Ling replied with gritted teeth. “Concubine Du, Third Miss, apologize to Lady Fang.”
Auntie Ling was speaking for Madame Qiao.
So, no matter how unwilling Concubine Du and Qiao Kou were, they still obeyed her.
Otherwise, she would report it to Madame Qiao when they returned and they would suffer.
“Sorry for the rude words, please forgive us!”
“Sorry…”
