Chapter 178 Irony to the bone
"Miss Zhao is so polite, please, too." Aunt Wu's voice sounded submissive, not the tone and expression she was when she was alone with Linghu Qiuyu.
Linghu Qiuyu looked at Aunt Wu who was whispering softly in front of outsiders, and thought of the vulgar woman when facing her. Linghu Qiuyu sneered disdainfully, and walked past the two of them into the house first.
"Qiuyu, why are you so rude? You should let Miss Zhao first." Aunt Wu whispered to Linghu Qiuyu.
Linghu Qiuyu's voice sounded indifferently, "I am the fourth lady of the Hou Mansion. She is just here to visit. One is not the father's daughter, the other is not the father's wife and the other is not the father's wife. No matter who follows the rules, I will enter the house first. My mother doesn't even understand this principle? Does Miss Zhao not understand?"
Linghu Qiuyu's voice was loud and bright. Before people could enter the house, the voice had already spread throughout the yard.
Man Yue doesn't have to look at it now and knows that the second wife must be feeling relieved, while Linghu Pingxue looked at the door disdainfully. In her eyes, in terms of appearance and talent, no one is her opponent.
But as Zhao Yu'er slowly walked in, Linghu Pingxue's originally disdainful expression suddenly became more serious, with a hint of suspicion.
Zhao Yu'er was snatched by Linghu Qiuyu a few words before, but she was not angry. She smiled and walked slowly towards her lotus steps. From a distance, she looked like a lotus blooming leisurely in the clear pond, and her body exuded a quiet and noble temperament.
Linghu Pingxue saw Zhao Yuer with such a temperament, her face was a little distorted, and her hand placed on her knees couldn't help but clench her fists.
Full Moon looked at him coldly and sneered in his heart.
In the Central Plains, the crouching tiger and hidden dragon, Linghu Pingxue was destined to be just a frog in the well. She thought that this small Kyoto could cover the entire Central Plains. In other places, there were many beautiful and talented beauties with her contemporary age.
Linghu Pingxue cannot tolerate others getting more attention than her. The more this happens, the narrower the mind is, the more you lose.
Zhao Yu'er and Pinting Ting came over and followed Linghu Qiuyu from beginning to end. Aunt Wu bowed to Zhao Yu'er apologetically. Zhao Yu'er was also slightly blessed and said softly,
"Aunt Wu doesn't have to do this. The fourth lady is right. Yu'er is nameless and has no distinction. He is the Marquis who prefers him to move into the Marquis' Mansion. Now there are the second wife and Aunt Wu, so Yu'er shouldn't have surpassed it."
Zhao Yu'er's attitude towards Aunt Wu was completely different from when facing the Moon. She didn't seem to like Aunt Wu's approach, because Aunt Wu originally wanted to take a step forward, but Zhao Yu'er took a step back without a trace. Although she covered it up very well, Man Yue still saw her displeasure at Aunt Wu's approaching.
This shows that Zhao Yuer doesn't like to get too close to people at all, but she takes the opportunity to get close to her again and again, and even chooses when the second wife or the maid in the old lady's courtyard sees it! What is the purpose of such an obvious but weird motive?
Linghu Quan glanced at the three people who came in and turned to Man Yue. Although he didn't say anything, he had a similar idea to Man Yue. This Zhao Yuer was strange.
After the three of them sat down, Linghu Qiuyu's eyes fell on Linghu Pingxue without any concealment. Seeing that Linghu Pingxue was full of pearls and treasures, although she was not as precious and luxurious as Linghu Manyue's body, she was also worthy of money and silver.
Linghu Qiuyu was wearing the outdated pink long skirt she wore when she entered the mansion a few days ago. Because this skirt was pressed on the bottom of the box for too long, the hem of the skirt was wrinkled. Linghu Qiuyu thought of many ways but couldn't do anything, so she could only wear it like this.
This is her most decent suit, and it is not necessarily better than the clothes of the maids and mothers in the Marquis's mansion. Aunt Wu is wearing simpler and shabby. She has changed color because she has worn it for too long, and the upper is grinding, which is clear and shabby.
Seeing this, Linghu Quan frowned.
Aunt Wu had given birth to Linghu Qiuyu at least, but was she treated like this when she returned to the Marquis’ Mansion? She was not even as good as a maid!
Linghu Quan frowned and looked at the second wife.
"Second Lady, Aunt Wu and Qiuyu have been back for three days, and have never made them a few fitting clothes?" It's not that Linghu Quan is so meddling in other people's business, but he can't do anything on the surface. Sooner or later, the Marquis's mansion has decayed and decayed from the inside.
The second lady came to her senses and said unhappily, "This—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Second Madam, no one has ever tested it for me and my mother? No one has said that he is making new clothes for us!" Before the second Madam could finish her speech, Linghu Qiuyu interrupted her coldly.
The second lady looked embarrassed and couldn't help but glar at Aunt Wu.
Linghu Pingxue also looked at Linghu Qiuyu with dissatisfaction. This Linghu Qiuyu is even more excessive than Zilu. She speaks without thinking and has no eyesight at all. How could her grandmother find such a useless mother and daughter back!
However, it wouldn't be a good thing if Linghu Qiuyu was too smart.
Aunt Wu was glared at by the second wife and shrank unconsciously. Although it was a very subtle move, Linghu Quan still noticed it.
"Princess, is it a tailor who has been here? Qiuyu is still young and ignorant, probably because she has forgotten it." It is definitely difficult for Aunt Wu to say this again at this time.
But Linghu Qiuyu even removed his mother's platform.
"Mother, what are you saying? I am only thirteen years old! I don't have that bad memory! I'm not as 70 years old or eighty years old!" Linghu Qiuyu spoke normally without restraint. The more she did, the more ugly the second wife was.
"Fourth sister, you can come back with Aunt Wu, but my mother has said a lot of good things for you. My father has had a lot of things recently and I can't take care of you for a while. It's because my mother and grandmother try to find you so that you can come back. Mother really cares about you, so how could she not make new clothes for you!"
Linghu Pingxue stood up and spoke for her mother now.
If Linghu Qiuyu lets continue to make trouble, wouldn’t Linghu Manyue be laughed at?
Linghu Pingxue acted like a sister. Although she was explaining to Linghu Qiuyu, her tone was above Linghu Qiuyu's momentum and arrogance.
Seeing this, the full moon said something seemingly unintentionally.
"In fact, it doesn't matter if the second wife doesn't find a tailor. If the horse stumbles, people will make mistakes occasionally. The second wife admits it openly."
When the words of Man Yue came out, it was equivalent to completely igniting the fuse.
Originally, it was the second wife who insisted on it, but when Man Yue said that it was a different story.
Linghu Pingxue blushed and replied unwillingly, "What does the eldest sister mean? Can my mother still lie for this little thing?"
The full moon face did not change its color, said lightly,
"I didn't say that the second wife was lying, I just said that she made a mistake. Besides, my aunt didn't say that she would do anything if she made a mistake. If it was a first-time deal, admit the mistake and make up for it immediately."
The Man Yue is now a sixth-rank female official, so the weight of his speech is naturally different from before. In addition, the second wife is now equivalent to the wall being pushed by everyone, Zhao Yu'er is slandering her, and Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu may have sold anything in the gourd. Anyway, the second wife has not gotten a bargain from them now. As for the old lady, with Zhao Yu'er, a capable assistant and Aunt Wu joining, she doesn't like the second wife now.
Not to mention the third lady! If possible, the third lady wants to kill the second lady now!
The second wife has gradually fallen into isolation and helplessness!
"Second Madam, you said you hired a tailor for Aunt Wu and Qiuyu. Which tailor from? Call him over! Also, bring the size tailor for Aunt Wu and Qiuyu together. Now I will send someone to confront her in person! I want to see who is lying today!"
Linghu Quan could turn a blind eye to what the second wife had done before. That was because the Marquis' Mansion was relatively peaceful and because of the dissatisfaction with the old wife, Linghu Quan didn't want to be in charge of the Marquis' Mansion. Even when the Monkey Moon just came back, Linghu Quan could just pass on many things on the surface.
But gradually, the second wife attacked Man Yue and even more did not hesitate to attack Linghu Jinglie, which made the entire Marquis' Mansion uneasy! Linghu Quan was used and despised by the old lady for decades, and now she is alone, and does not want to live for others anymore, and she does not want to let the old lady and the second wife go wrong, so she stood up step by step and stood on the side of Man Yue.
Linghu Quan's words made the second wife's face pale, and Linghu Pingxue stood there speechlessly, lowering her head and not daring to speak.
The originally awkward scene would not have happened to the versatile second wife, but because there have been too many blows to her recently, the second wife is depressed all day long. She has to find a way to deal with the Mon Moon, guard against Zhao Yu'er, and at the same time to please Linghu Hongxi and the old lady, and to test Linghu Quan's ideas at all times. The second wife is already exhausted, and Linghu Hongxi is gradually taking back the power in her hands bit by bit, which makes the second wife even more panic.
The second wife had no intention of doing some superficial work, and she didn't care about Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu at all.
"Aunt, my mother did find a tailor, I can testify to this. Maybe the tailor didn't hear clearly when he was old, or maybe he suddenly forgot that his mother would pick up Aunt Wu back in person, how could she neglect her and her fourth sister?"
Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Linghu Pingxue was naturally unwilling to be defeated by the mosaic of Man Yue and was still struggling for the final struggle.
It would be fine if Linghu Pingxue didn't speak, but she even offended the public's anger as soon as she opened her mouth.
"According to this, the second sister said, if someone breaks the law in the future, I can say that I had told him in advance when I wanted to harm him, but he didn't hear it. Wouldn't he avoid it when he heard it? You can't blame me! Do you mean that?"
