Chapter 238: Chapter 220, Presumptuous_1 freeweɓnovel.cѳm
“This time entering the residence, I also noticed that Madam Li’s demeanor has completely changed,” Lin Wangshi frowned as she thought of Madam Li she had seen earlier in the main courtyard of the Yan Residence.
In the past, when the son-in-law’s heart was with his daughter, although Madam Li was the main wife, she had little confidence when facing her daughter, but this time I saw her, not to mention the luxurious aura about her, even a hint of self-confidence and authority in her eyes made me feel somewhat daunted and unable to look her in the eye.”
Lin Xushi also picked up the conversation, saying, “The rules at the Yan Family have also become stricter.”
In the past, not to mention us ladies, even our husbands could visit their sister without having to report, but now, if they want to enter, they must submit a visiting card first, and they can only enter after Madam Li has agreed to it.
Not only has it become more troublesome, but they also have to endure quite a bit of frustration.
Lin Auntie sighed, “As the master’s official rank grows higher, he naturally pays more attention to rules. And the madam…” Lin Auntie gave a bitter smile.
“Ever since the master was promoted to Prefectural Governor, the madam has been socializing at home and out with ladies from the families of high officials and nobles; even if she were steeped in the stench of copper, she would be perfumed by the association.”
“As for me, even if I have boundless talent, I can only be confined to this courtyard, unable to step out!”
Upon hearing these words, both Lin Wangshi and Lin Xushi fell silent.
They could not help with any of the issues Lin Auntie spoke about.
Lin Auntie continued, “Moreover, the eldest master and the fourth master are becoming more and more accomplished, and the eldest young mistress is an extremely formidable figure. Madam’s confidence surely has its foundation now.”
Lin Wangshi joined the conversation this time, “Wenbin and Yishuang are also good children, aren’t they? Your brother has said that Wenbin’s talent for studying is hardly inferior to that of the Yan Family’s eldest master.”
Lin Auntie smiled bitterly again, “What of it? Even if Wenbin is good at studying, the people he interacts with and the world he has seen can’t compare to the eldest master from the Wangyue Academy.”
“To have a promising future, being good at studying is far from enough.”
“Take the master, for example. When he was the County Magistrate, he was so beloved by the people, but because he had no one to support him in the official circles, he remained in the position for nine years.”
Lin Wangshi, with a stern face and dissatisfaction, said, “How could the Yan Family’s eldest young mistress be so heartless? Wenbin is her brother after all; she would rather help the cousin from the third branch than her own younger brother.”
Lin Auntie sneered, “The eldest young mistress’s heart is ruthless! I know it is deliberate; she is taking revenge for the time her brother schemed against her and got her slapped by the master.”
Lin Wangshi snorted and said, “A girl is better being gentle and quiet. With such a bad temper, the Yan Family’s eldest young mistress will certainly suffer for it in the future.”
Seeing that the conversation was not getting to the point of their visit, Lin Xushi had no choice but to stretch out her hand to tug at her mother-in-law’s sleeve as a reminder.
Lin Wangshi, tugged by her daughter-in-law and catching her meaningful glances, hesitated, her expression becoming one of reluctance and difficulty.
At the side, Lin Auntie noticed the two women’s actions and knitted her brows, “Mother, Sister-in-law, what are you doing?”
Lin Xushi stiffened slightly, “…Mother has something to tell you.”
Lin Auntie looked at Lin Wangshi, “Mother, if you have something to say, just say it.”
Lin Wangshi gave her daughter-in-law a stern look, paused for a moment, and then turned her gaze to her granddaughter who had been born only a few days earlier: “What are you planning to do with this child?”
Lin Auntie was taken aback and didn’t quite understand her mother’s meaning at first.
What to do?
Obviously, I would raise the child I gave birth to; what else is there to do?
