MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 723 [Fan] The belt is getting wider and you will never regret it (13)
As soon as the couple had a bad time, Mrs. Zhao got the news. Early the next morning, she ordered someone to invite Yi Mei over.
Zhao Jiaer is also there.
Yimei politely bowed to Mrs. Zhao, and without waiting for Mrs. Zhao to ask, she took the initiative to mention the dispute with Wang Han yesterday.
"I heard that the girl in Hongxiu was given to her husband by her mother. Logically speaking, since it was given by her mother, her daughter-in-law should treat her well. But as soon as I entered the house, my husband wanted to take a concubine, which is really unacceptable. , I hope my mother-in-law will forgive me."
Mr. Zhao is not that kind of woman with a big heart. She naturally cares about her son privately. However, Yimei struck first and spoke in a reasonable manner, which caught Ms. Zhao off guard.
Zhao turned her head subconsciously and looked at her niece Zhao Jia'er.
Seeing this, Zhao Jiaer spoke for her aunt and said, "My cousin just came in, and she was very affectionate with her cousin. At this time, she knew that there was another woman around her. If you are not in a good mood, we can do it. I understand, it’s just that Hongxiu was given to my cousin by my aunt, and that girl has her duty and has served her cousin for many years. If my cousin insists on driving him away, my aunt will not stop her, but if so, I’m afraid It will give my cousin a bad reputation, and if the outside world doesn’t know, they might want to slander her as being unkind and intolerant."
After hearing what Zhao Jiaer said, Yi Mei smiled faintly and asked: "This is a private matter in the back house. How can people outside know about it? There are only two masters in the back house, my mother and I. Is it possible that my mother will still ignore it?" I have a good reputation, why don’t you go outside to arrange it for me?”
As she said that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Jia'er, and sneered: "Or will this guest, my cousin, tell this matter?"
Zhao Jiaer couldn't bear what Yi Mei said. She said anxiously: "What are you talking about, cousin? No matter how ignorant I am, I will never go out and say this."
Yi Mei said: "I know my cousin is a sensible person."
Seeing that her niece was robbed by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao felt even more unhappy. However, she was worried about the power of Yimei's family and could not get angry. She could only endure it and said: "Your cousin is also kind-hearted, so don't take it personally." .”
Then he explained: "In order to take the exam for meritorious service, Han'er stayed at home and studied hard all day, never going out to relax. I was afraid that he would get into trouble, so I rewarded her with the red sleeves. Han'er is so proud of her." The child is not a **** who can't sit still after seeing the beautiful girl at home. He didn't want this red-sleeved one at first, but later he saw that this girl was really responsible and cautious in doing things, and she came and went again, so he took the child into the room. .”
"She's just a housekeeper. Even the poorest farmers who have a few taels of silver at home still need to buy a concubine. In a family like ours, Han'er is the only one, so it's not too much."
Yi Mei sneered and said, "The mother wants me to keep this girl."
Ms. Zhao also smiled coldly and replied: "What are you talking about? As a mother-in-law, I am discussing with you with good words. How can I force myself on you again?"
Yi Mei said: "Since mother is discussing with me and not using the authority of the elders to suppress me, then my daughter-in-law's meaning is very clear. I just don't want to keep that girl."
After this day, Wang Han calmed down.
Nothing is more important than his future. He has just boarded the big boat of the Cai family, and it is impossible for him to really fall out with Cai Yimei because of a girl.
In order to comfort his wife, on his way back from duty, he bought her favorite snacks and carried them back to his house himself.
After entering the mansion, he was about to go straight to the backyard when the nanny beside Mrs. Zhao came over and called him: "Sir, the old lady asked you to come over."
Wang Han asked: "Why does mother want me?"
"Young Master, you'd better go and have a look." Mammy sighed, shook her head and said, "The old lady and the young lady had a bad time today. She was so angry that she had a headache. She didn't eat anything the whole day."
As soon as Wang Han heard this, he immediately went to his mother's yard.
Mrs. Zhao, with a cloth bandage on her head, was leaning on the soft couch and humming. Zhao Jiaer sat beside her and kept persuading her.
“Mother, what’s wrong with you?” Wang Han asked anxiously as soon as he stepped through the door.
Ms. Zhao finally hoped for a son. She was supported by Zhao Jia'er and struggled to get up. Before she could say anything, tears fell down. "It's rare that you still have eyes for a widow like me. Your daughter-in-law started quarreling with me the second day after entering the house. It really makes me angry to death."
As he spoke, he covered his handkerchief and began to cry. While crying, he kept calling Wang Han's father who had died eight hundred years ago.
Wang Han saw that his mother was just crying, so he coaxed her and asked Zhao Jiaer who was standing aside.
“Cousin, what is going on? Why is the bride so angry with her mother?”
Zhao Jia'er glanced at Mrs. Zhao who was crying sadly, hesitated for a long time, and then replied calmly: "My aunt heard that my cousin and cousin-in-law had a bad time yesterday, and she was thinking about it in her heart, so she invited her cousin over this morning. I heard that my cousin couldn't tolerate the red sleeves, so my aunt gave her some advice."
Zhao Jiaer sighed and said, "Anyway, the two of them started to quarrel as soon as they disagreed."
Mrs. Zhao sobbed and said: "As a mother-in-law, let me tell you, she can even say ten words because she comes from a scholarly family. I have lived for most of my life and I have never seen such an uneducated and unruly daughter-in-law." .”
The more Ms. Zhao talked, the angrier she became and she cried as if she could not breathe. Zhao Jiaer quickly cheered her up and persuaded her: "My cousin just got married and she is not used to it. It's okay to speak a little too hastily." But it turns out that she is your biological daughter-in-law, so my aunt should be more considerate of her."
“In all my life, I have never heard of a mother-in-law taking care of a daughter-in-law. Am I marrying an ancestor?”
"Besides, what man doesn't take concubines? In a family like ours, if I arrange a girl to marry my son, what's wrong with me? Humph! Even when it comes to the emperor, my old lady is reasonable."
With that said, he scolded Wang Han again: "At the beginning, I was not optimistic about the Cai family. Mrs. Cai has never given birth to a son in her life, and she has not given her husband a concubine. How can such a selfish woman raise any good daughters."
Wang Jia comforted Mrs. Zhao and said, "Auntie, please stop scolding your cousin. My cousin is a filial son. If you behave like this with your cousin, aren't you making it difficult for him?"
Mrs. Zhao listened to her niece's advice. She wiped away her tears and complained to her son: "Look at your unruly wife, and then look at your sensible cousin. You didn't listen to me back then. Look, now you are I'll pay you back in this life, huh! I'll have to suffer from you in the future for marrying such a difficult wife."
Wang Han was scolded by his mother. He left the house dejectedly and was walking to the backyard in despair when Zhao Jiaer chased him out.
"cousin."
Wang Han stopped when he heard the sound, turned to look at Wang Jia, and said, "Mom, please trouble my cousin more to persuade me."
Zhao Jiaer said softly: "My cousin said this out of sight, don't worry, I will definitely comfort my aunt."
As she spoke, she looked up at Wang Han with distressed eyes and said, "It's so late. My cousin has been tired all day and hasn't eaten yet, right?"
Wang Han smiled bitterly and said, "The house is so noisy that I am not in the mood to eat."
Zhao Jiaer sighed and said, "Which family's life is not full of twists and turns. Cousin, don't get angry. You must take care of yourself."
"I can't worry about my aunt, so I'm going back now." The moment Zhao Jiaer turned around, she told Wang Han again: "Cousin, go back and coax your cousin in a good way. You will be back tomorrow, so don't make the Cai family upset. I know it’s not good for you.”
Wang Han glanced at Zhao Jia'er, sniffed, and replied calmly: "I understand."
Seeing Zhao Jia'er was about to leave, he raised his hand and held her hand. Zhao Jia'er looked around and said, "It's a big deal if people see her."
“Go back quickly.” She urged Wang Han, then took out her hand and turned around.
