"Cough, say something shameful! Do you want me to go see your father as soon as possible? " Matriarch Yang's face fell as he slammed the ground with his cane.
"Mother, your son does not dare. He just thinks that Zi Zhi should be taught a lesson." The Marquis of Loyalty firmly believed that a filial son was worthy of being beaten.
"Hmph, get up. Zhi Er, tell your father why are you here so late?" Matriarch Yang watched enough of the show, then asked Yang Zizhi.
Grandmother, how could I have woken up late? I clearly saw the cold weather, and when I woke up in the morning, snow was falling all over the place. I was worried about my sister, and seeing that it was still early, I went to see her. Yang Zizhi answered very casually.
Mu Rousang squinted her eyes. Yang Juaner had only been locked up for a few days, yet there were already people stirring behind her back. Yang Zizhi would definitely not be so kind, for she was afraid that the little beauty was more important than her sister.
"Grandmother, look at the cold weather. Hurry up and tell Big Brother to get up. The one who's kneeling and feeling sorry for us is not Grandmother." Mu Rousang obediently reminded her. Hmph, isn't Madam Hou and Su Waner always doing things well? Hehe, I'm sorry, but she wants to learn it.
Yang Zixuan's brows moved, and said: "Grandmother, it would be better to quickly ask Big Brother to get up, if you kneel down like this, you might hurt your knees, and the person who will feel heartache will still be you."
really wished that Matriarch Yang could punish him for a while longer. He was also angry at Mu Rousang for causing too much trouble, but he didn't have the slightest intention to blame Yang Zixuan in the slightest.
Matriarch Yang let out a faint sigh, and looked at Mu Rousang and Yang Zixuan with a gratified look. Only then did he say: "Get up, since you are big brother, it is only right for you to go and see Juan'er."
Seeing that, Yang Zixuan was a little unwilling, but he secretly shook his head, meaning that he did not want Mu Rousang to intervene, so he nodded his head and stopped talking, the two obediently stood at the side, quietly waiting for Matriarch Yang's instructions.
"It's getting late. Let's set the table!" With Matriarch Yang's instructions, it meant that the matter with Yang Juaner was left unsettled.
Hearing the maidservants shuttling back and forth behind the screen, there was the soft sound of bowls and chopsticks moving. Not long after that, a servant came to report that food had been served.
Mu Rousang knew that she could not avoid serving his parents-in-law a meal, so she very obediently helped her up and smiled: "Grandmother, it's alright if I serve you. The meaning of her words was that she did not want to serve Madam Hou anymore.
Yang Zixuan's fox eyes slightly narrowed, a trace of doting flashed past. How could he not see through Mu Rousang's scheme?
He patted her hands and laughed: "Good, good, good, I'm sorry you have to be so filial. Come, let's go eat dinner, Xuan'er still needs to go to the yamen later, so you can take care of your errands peacefully. I left your wife here to hang her horses, you should come back tonight to pick her up."
Matriarch Yang was also an intelligent person, she just so happened to be unable to bear watching Madam Hou and Su Waner, so Mu Rousang's surrender was immediately accepted by her.
"Grandmother, why don't Grandson come back and get some food!" Yang Zixuan replied with a smirk on his face. How could he not understand the meaning behind Mu Rousang's actions? Naturally, he climbed up the pole as well.
Matriarch Yang was truly happy and said: "That's good too, it's rare for my courtyard to be so lively."
Mu Rousang sighed in her heart, it seemed that the Madam Hou did not really hold much respect for the Matriarch Yang, but he was unable to find fault with it.
"This is what being a grandson and Sun's daughter-in-law is all about." Yang Zixuan replied quickly, he was not afraid of the Madam Hou! So what if he said it? How could she say that he was wrong? I'm afraid if Matriarch Yang doesn't say something, Marquis of Loyalty will divorce her first.
"Mother, daughter-in-law was too busy in the past, so I didn't have the free time to accompany you. Now that Xuan'er and Third Son's Wife have this kind of heart, I feel gratified as a mother." Madam Hou spoke up from the side.
Mu Rousang and were filial for a long time, she only said a few words and snatched away all the credit.
Yang Zixuan laughed: "For a mother, it's natural that she must not be idle in her duties. Just leave these small matters to her son and daughter-in-law."
The Matriarch Yang did not come back to his senses at first, but after hearing Yang Zixuan say this, he became more and more unfond of the Madam Hou, and said: "Wan'er, go and serve your mother food. I have the Sang girl here."
The whole family finally gathered around the table and started to eat breakfast. Mu Rousang was extremely glad that she went out and stuffed two meat buns into her stomach, but she did not have a solid meal. She did not know how hard it would be for New daughter-in-law to accept his wife.
Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking.
The Yang family was used to it, the family gathered around the table and quietly ate their breakfast, Mu Rousang earnestly gave the Matriarch Yang food, which was a little rotten, with a mouthful of food that could even be gritted with her teeth.
It wasn't until everyone was done eating that Matriarch Yang opened his mouth and said in satisfaction: "You two go down and eat first, don't be hungry, Sang girl has served you well."
Yang Zixuan really couldn't bear it anymore. Asking his own wife to eat leftovers? He was a little worried that Mu Rousang would not give her face as he knocked the table. The Zuo family and Mu family held her in their hands.
Mu Rousang smiled lightly and said: "Thank you for your love, grandmother, then Sun's daughter-in-law will go down to eat breakfast."
"Go, go, eat your fill before coming back to accompany me, this old woman." Matriarch Yang waved to her, who was standing on the other side, Su Waner? She pretended not to see.
Mu Rousang laughed and retreated, then went to the next room to eat breakfast with Su Waner. Facing these cold leftovers, she really did not have any appetite at all.
Su Waner saw and said: "From now on, we only need to pay respects to Grandmother for our first and fifteenth years. We will pay respects at mother's place during the day."
was shocked. Matriarch Yang was still the most senior in the mansion, he was not as important as Madam Hou, but Su Waner was Madam Hou's official wife, so since she had already said it like that, Mu Rousang could only agree.
"Sister-in-law, may I ask you for guidance?"
He only asked the little girl to bring a pot of hot tea over, and then ate the steamed buns using the hot tea. Then he said: "Let's talk as we eat, I'm afraid mother will call us over later, oh, lunch time is usually at noon, and this is also because my husband is not hungry, and we only have three meals in the house. I heard that in the past few years, we only had two meals, and at noon, we just ate some snacks."
When she said till here, her hand paused, and then she remembered that Mu Rousang had already opened up a Kitchen, and was regretting that she did not make a big fuss when she entered.
"Sister-in-law has to help mother manage the feed everyday, how can she be in the mood to mess around with those food." Mu Rousang gave her an excuse, did she really want to live under the same roof and look up, or did she want to look down to see?
Only then did Su Waner's face lighten up, and after that, she laughed at them without concealing it at all: "Hmph, what I said was to help manage the situation, but those important matters, all of them are..." She lowered her head and casually chewed a few Soup Dumplings, then put down her chopsticks and asked Mu Rousang.
"What did you want to ask?"
"It's nothing much, I saw that in a few days time it would be La 'Eight. So I wanted to ask sister-in-law if I can personally go send La' Eight to his mother's house?"
To put it bluntly, Mu Rousang really liked going back to her parents' home. She wanted to take a look at Yun Xiang Inn, there was a corridor and a pavilion in front of her …
There was a peach orchard at the back, green bamboo at the left, and lotus ponds on the right. It didn't look like a Gui Yuan at all.
Mu Rousang's words stirred up Su Waner's thoughts, and she said: "When I just married over, it was because of my new wife, so I was accompanied by my husband to send her home. It's just that this year's chores are on me, but I don't know if I can go back to visit my parents' home." It was difficult to meet even when they lived together in the capital.
Seeing that Mu Rousang was only listening, she said: "Younger Sis just entered, it's almost the new year, at that time, you can tell mother."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Mu Rousang tightened his bright red satin robes.
Su Waner was extremely envious of her bright red, shining brocade dress that could only be obtained by royals. One of the clothes that Mu Rousang carried, was the one that Princess Jing'an married off to him back then, but she had given up on cutting Mu Rousang's new clothes.
"Sister-in-law's clothes are so elegant." Su Waner's words were sour, her father was only a Fifth Rank official, he rarely saw Long Yan, even if he saw Long Yan, he was still far away, and had been awarded these famous shining brocades.
"My family's sister-in-law is kind and loves my sister-in-law, so she cut off her clothes." Mu Rousang replied leisurely.
"Eldest Young Lady, is it alright for Madam to ask you?" Shen Mama chose to enter through the curtain, but didn't really give Su Waner face.
"I've already eaten. Has Mommy eaten yet?" Su Waner did not understand the meaning behind Shen Mama's words, but continued to ask with a smile on her face.
Shen Mama laughed: "Thank you, Eldest Young Lady. This servant has already eaten, and Madam is currently looking for you, saying that you need to prepare Laba and Dipping matter. Call for this servant to come and invite Eldest Young Lady over to discuss it."
"Sister-in-law, you go ahead and take a seat. I'll be busy first." Su Waner snapped out of her disappointment and without realizing it, started to feel proud again. She was The House of the Marquis of Loyalty's next generation Owner Mother.
Mu Rousang laughed, then got up and sent her out of the door. She turned around and saw Han Xiang, who was beside Matriarch Yang, and asked: "Is there something you need?"
Han Xiang saluted before smiling, "Third Young Madam, the matriarch has already set up a table and is waiting for you to pass!"
Mu Rousang touched her forehead. She never thought that Matriarch Yang would be so impatient, Han Xiang only felt that this Third Young Madam was an interesting person and laughed, "It has been a long time since someone has hung a horse with her."
She nodded and said to Chun Yi, "Go back to my room and get some money. If I lose all of my money today, I'll have to eat and drink with Grandmother this month. But I need to save some money."
