Chapter 141 Do You Think I'm Dead?
Subconsciously, the three old ladies all looked at Old Madam Zhou.
With a look of gratitude on her face, she said, "I'm sorry to have spent so much money on you, but I didn't expect that you would value the three of us so much that you would be willing to give us your beloved things."
Unexpectedly, Madam Zhou kept a stern face, clenched her teeth, and did not answer.
Seeing that Madam Zhou did not respond for a long time.
Everyone took another careful look at Old Madam Zhou.
It was Song Nansheng, who was closest to Old Madam Zhou, who noticed something was wrong.
He quickly stepped forward and supported Madam Zhou.
The moment I met Mrs. Zhou.
Song Nansheng exclaimed, "Aunt's hand, why is it so stiff?"
Everyone then realized that Madam Zhou's chest was rising and falling rapidly.
Swarmed up.
Everyone tried their best to help Madam Zhou breathe smoothly and feed her water.
Jiang Wanqing held Xiaoxiao in her arms and watched the scene coldly.
Wait until everyone has done all this.
Jiang Wanqing then pretended to hold Xiaoxiao in his arms and walked forward.
A face full of worry.
She cried, "Mother-in-law, please don't scare your daughter-in-law. Even if it's just a gift for a friend, there's no need to be so excited. If you die, how will I and my little orphan live?"
Mrs. Zhang and others sighed when they saw Jiang Wanqing looking so worried.
When Old Madam Zhou heard this, her eyes widened.
It took her a while to recover.
When Old Madam Zhou could speak.
She raised her hand with difficulty and pointed at Jiang Wanqing.
He shouted loudly, "Jiang Wanqing! Do you really think I'm dead?"
Seeing how angry Madam Zhou was, the other three old ladies couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Holding little Jiang Wanqing, he still looked aggrieved.
She looked confused and said, "Mother-in-law, it's all because of my stupidity. I guess I did something wrong and made you unhappy."
Only then did Old Madam Zhang and others accept Jiang Wanqing's benefits.
He was speaking for Jiang Wanqing.
"Old sister, I see that you have a good daughter-in-law. She is so worried about you. Don't scare away such a good daughter-in-law."
When Madam Zhou heard this, she almost vomited blood.
She glanced at the coral and agarwood bracelets in Old Madam Zhang's hands, and her heart ached as if someone had cut her flesh off.
Looking at Jiang Wanqing, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who told you to take out these things! The coral bracelet, the agarwood bracelet, the jade bracelet
, white jade, agate, turquoise, silver and gold earrings! You really only pick the expensive ones!"
All of them were her favorite things.
Old Madam Zhou knew that Jiang Wanqing did this on purpose: Jiang Wanqing had already been sent away, so how could she have the nerve to ask for her back?
But, just send it out like this?
These things are the most valuable things I have.
On one side is Madam Zhou's face, and on the other side is her beloved thing.
Old Madam Zhou hesitated.
Jiang Wanqing's eyes flickered and moved slightly: "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? It was obviously what she wanted to give, so why is she blaming her daughter-in-law now?"
Madam Zhou was stunned.
There was a question in his eyes: "When did I ever say such a thing!"
Could it be that she really had been kicked in the head by a donkey?
Are you willing to give away your most beloved thing to others?
What's more, they were just a few friends who played cards with him on weekdays.
Jiang Wanqing hesitated for a while, then carefully replied, "My mother-in-law said that if you don't give someone something they have always wanted, it would be selfish. And these few items I sent out on behalf of my mother-in-law are all the three old ladies' favorites.
Mother would not be a selfish person, would she? They are just a few items. After giving them away, mother would not ask the old ladies to return them, right? "
Send it back as soon as you hear it.
Madam Zhang and the other two silently clenched the objects in their hands.
Song Nansheng just felt that the words Jiang Wanqing said before sounded somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, I remembered what my aunt said to Jiang Wanqing when she asked for the bracelet.
Zhou Musheng, who was standing aside, seemed to be out of touch with the situation.
He echoed, "Mother was willing to give her beloved silk-wrapped jade bracelet to Auntie. I guess grandmother is not the selfish person that Mother said she was."
How could the young Zhou Musheng understand the other meaning behind the adults' words?
Children just talk about what they see and hear.
Zhou Musheng's words were also beyond Jiang Wanqing's expectations.
She was surprised for a moment.
Then he smiled and looked at Old Madam Zhou.
Slowly she said, "Mother-in-law, look, Mu Sheng has said it all. You asked me to give my dowry to Zi Gu's cousin before, and told me not to be a selfish person, so I gave it to him.
It’s a pity that the silk-wrapped carved jade bracelet was a gift from the emperor. Even if I was willing to give it to my cousin, she would not be able to enjoy it.
Now, in front of Mu Sheng, you can't be a selfish person, mother-in-law, you have to give out these little items happily.
You gave Madam Zhang and the others something they had been longing for, so I think they will also be thinking of you for your kindness.”
Listening to Jiang Wanqing's words.
Madam Zhang and the other two were smart people, and they seemed to have guessed the origin of the matter from what they heard.
It seems that Old Madam Zhou forced Jiang Wanqing to give her dowry to someone else.
Blackmail in the name of selfishness.
Now, Jiang Wanqing is also using the name of selfishness to threaten Madam Zhou to give away her beloved things.
Old Madam Zhou was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express her pain.
Madam Zhang and the other two looked at each other.
He smiled at Old Madam Zhou and said, "I never thought that you would be so considerate of us. We would like to thank you."
Madam Zhang and others had not originally planned to attend today's banquet.
After all, there are other things in the Xingchang Marquis' Mansion besides things like Zhou Ziqi.
Everyone was afraid that if their daughter had contact with the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion, it would ruin her reputation.
But, the relationship before was good.
So the three old ladies discussed and decided to meet Old Madam Zhou one last time. It would also make it clear that as they get older, they won’t come often to play cards or walk around.
But I didn't expect that before breaking off this relationship, I could get a beloved thing for free.
Although everyone was unwilling to have anything to do with the Xingchang Marquisate.
However, Jiang Wanqing still has connections with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so everyone is still wary of him.
Since he could sever his relationship with Madam Zhou and get a beloved item for free, he could also get closer to Jiang Wanqing.
The three old ladies present were also very smart people, and naturally they were very willing to cooperate with Jiang Wanqing's performance.
Seeing the three old ladies talking to Jiang Wanqing,
Old Madam Zhou's eyes turned red with anger.
Seeing that Old Madam Zhou was speechless due to the pressure from the crowd.
Song Nansheng on the side couldn't help it after all.
He frowned and said, “Cousin, it’s not that my aunt is unwilling to give these items to the three old ladies.
But, if you want to give away my aunt's jewelry, you should have told her in advance. It's not good to just barge into her room and take something to give away. "
What no one else had pointed out was finally revealed by Song Nansheng.
