Chapter 121 The Secret Plot of Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
Zhou Ziqi couldn't help but take a few steps back.
He looked at Old Madam Zhou with a look of disbelief.
His eyes revealed a layer of sadness, and he opened his mouth uncertainly: "Mother? What are you talking about? Do you want me to die too?"
Old Madam Zhou didn't dare to look at Zhou Ziqi's expression.
Jiang Wanqing smiled with a dagger hidden in her heart, and said with a slightly unkind tone: "In fact, after all, Second Sister doesn't want to go to the Duke of Qi's Mansion, she just doesn't want to be a concubine.
But I have already said it in person, and the young master doesn't give me face. Otherwise, I, your mother-in-law, will go and say it myself.
After all, the mother-in-law is the elder. Perhaps the young master can give her some face and let the second sister be a concubine. That would be good too.
For my second sister, my mother-in-law should be willing to take this risk. I know she loves my second sister, but she won't really ask her to hang herself with a piece of white silk."
Wait until Jiang Wanqing finishes speaking.
Zhou Ziqi secretly complained: "You are pretending to be kind!"
But she turned her head and looked at Madam Zhou with a pleading look on her face: "Mother, you can't just watch me, a girl from the Marquis of Xingchang, become a concubine."
Old Madam Zhou was reluctant to lose face, but after seeing Zhou Ziqi's pleading expression, she softened her heart a little.
"I will go back with you when we return to Duke Qi's Mansion."
Zhou Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, mother."
When Jiang Wanqing heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
But Chu Tianxiang didn't give him any face at all. The last time he gave him face was because of Eunuch Fang Su's face.
If the old lady went to the Duke of Qi's Mansion, I really don't know how Chu Tianxiang would treat her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanqing suddenly became excited.
Zhou Ziqi bowed to Madam Zhou and said, "Since mother is alright, I will go back and rest first."
After Jiang Wanqing left, Zhou Ziyi walked to the old lady's side.
After whispering a few words, he left and followed Jiang Wanqing's footsteps.
The room suddenly became emptier.
Madam Zhou looked at Zhou Ziqi and said, "Since we are going to send you back later, go to your room and pack your things. I will go back with you in a while."
Zhou Ziqi nodded and left with a smile on her face.
Finally, I can get rid of the status of a concubine.
If I continue to be a concubine, I am afraid that I will never be able to hold my head up in front of my friends in this life.
After all, no noble lady, or madam, would be willing to make friends with a maid.
When only Old Madam Zhou and Song Nansheng were left in the room.
Old Madam Zhou then spoke up, "Have you told Zi Gu about what happened in the mansion recently? Jiang Wanqing is too rampant. I'm afraid I can't control her anymore. Does Zi Gu have to keep her in the mansion?"
Song Nansheng lowered his eyes, and a dangerous gleam flashed in his eyes.
Then he said, "Something happened recently with Prince Cheng'an, and Zi Gu was almost implicated. Now, Jiang Wanqing is planning to build a place for entertainment in the south of the city. Zi Gu can't appear in the south of the city. It will be even more difficult to meet Zi Gu in the future."
The case of the fake copper coins has been uncovered and was found on a plot of land belonging to His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an.
The case of fake copper coins was assigned to Zhou Zigu.
Now that Prince Cheng'an was about to be reprimanded, he would inevitably attack Zhou Zigu.
Old Madam Zhou sighed deeply.
Suddenly, he frowned: "Why would Jiang Wanqing want to build such a place in the south of the city? Could it be that she promised Zi Gu?"
Song Nansheng shook his head.
Her eyes flickered, "Probably not. This time, it was only because the south of the city collapsed that she remembered the house in the south of the city."
Only then did Old Madam Zhou breathe a sigh of relief.
Pursing her lips, she said, "Next time, ask Zi Gu when this kind of life will end! You can't hit her, and you can't scold her! It's because she married down from her parents' side!"
There was a faint chill in Song Nansheng's eyes.
He sneered and said, "Since you can't control her, why not find something to hold her accountable? With something to hold her accountable, are you afraid that you can't control her?"
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was a little moved.
But soon, she frowned again: "It's not that easy to find evidence!"
There was a flash of hostility in Song Nansheng's eyes, and a hint of dangerous calculation crept into his eyes.
Then, he leaned close to Madam Zhou's ear and whispered a few words.
Old Madam Zhou was stunned, and then her pupils shrank slightly.
He asked, "Is this really feasible? But Jiang Wanqing's yard has always attracted a lot of attention."
Song Nansheng's eyes lit up with a hint of smile: "Don't worry, aunt, Mu Sheng has already prepared for me for the things ahead."
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she excitedly slammed her hand on the table.
"Okay!" She frowned and said sternly, "I'll see how arrogant that little bitch can be in front of me! She will have to act according to my mood!"
Song Nansheng smiled, with a flattering look on his face: "Only my aunt can make the decision in this Xingchang Marquis's Mansion! Jiang Wanqing, at best, is just a person who can't be on the stage. If she dares to offend you, Mu Sheng and I will not let her feel at ease."
These words immediately touched Madam Zhou's heart.
She reached out and touched Song Nansheng's little face.
With a kind face, she said, "Nan Sheng, I am sorry for wronging you. After Zi Gu's matter is over, aunt will take you home in person. I feel much more relieved that Mu Sheng has you. He will definitely be the best heir to my Xingchang Marquisate, and you will be the only lady in the house in the future."
Song Nansheng lowered his gaze and looked obedient.
He smiled and agreed: "Nan Sheng is not wronged, everything is for Brother Zi Gu and Mu Sheng."
Madam Zhou sighed deeply: "All of this is to give Mu Shengbo a bright future."
Song Nansheng's eyes flickered.
What she wants is for her son to have a promising future, for her husband to have a successful career, and for her to become a royal consort!
I just hope that this time, Brother Zi Gu can make great contributions to His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an!
After leaving the old lady's yard, Jiang Wanqing kept sneezing.
Mo Yu couldn't help but ask with concern: "Could it be that he caught a cold?"
Jiang Wanqing shook her head: "That shouldn't be the case. Maybe someone is saying something bad about me behind my back."
Mo Yu agreed: "That's possible."
After all, Jiang Wanqing had just angrily scolded everyone in the room, leaving them unable to say anything back.
There is nothing to say on the surface.
Maybe he's cursing in his heart.
Mo Yu felt extremely relieved when he heard what happened just now.
Just when Jiang Wanqing was about to step into her own yard.
There was a sound from behind.
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute."
Jiang Wanqing stopped and looked back.
Is it Zhou Ziyi?
Tsk, could it be that this elder sister-in-law is chasing me into my yard and wants to scold me?
