Chapter 354: The Old Lady Accepts Her Fate, the Second Lady Reluctant
"Old lady, it's getting late, take a rest!"
In the old lady's room, Amber served carefully. Although she was not as smart as Yuanyang, she was also smart. How could she not know about the battle between the old lady and the third master today? Moreover, the old lady obviously ended in failure.
So, after she came back, she was cautious and didn't dare to say a word.
The old lady of the Third Master would tolerate it, but she was just a servant. If the old lady really took out her anger on her, she deserved to be beaten to death.
Grandmother Jia sighed, feeling a little tired! Today's event was indeed secretly suggested by her. After all, it was almost a hundred days, and the emperor and empress would probably arrange a marriage for Jia Cong by then. If the imperial decree was really issued, would she still be able to disobey it? Therefore, she wanted to use Taoist Zhang's words to directly arrange a marriage by the gods, so that even the palace would not blame her.
But she never expected that the grandson didn't give her any face, and even ignored the Great Illusion Immortal. He even directly exposed the gods and Buddhas' past, and at the same time told her that even if the gods and Buddhas arranged the marriage, he dared to expose the gods and Buddhas.
Is she willing to stay in the Duke's Mansion for her whole life? Of course she is not willing! If it was in the past, when she held two Yu'er, most of her thoughts were still competing with the daughter-in-law. She may not really want to fulfill the two Yu'er in her heart. After all, Daiyu is weak and it is a question whether she can give birth in the future.
How could Baoyu, the legitimate grandson of Rongguo Mansion, marry such a weak woman? If there is no legitimate son in the next generation, wouldn't it be her fault?
However, seeing that Daiyu's health was getting better day by day, although she was not as strong as Baochai, she was obviously no longer as weak as before. Therefore, she wanted to make the two Yu'ers happy. However, the Jia family could not do without that Monkey King.
Of the three main branches of the two Duke's Mansions, all of them are dead in the East Mansion, and the father and son of the eldest branch of the West Mansion are still at the border and their lives are unknown.
It goes without saying that the youngest son, Jia Zheng, is filial, but he is too rigid, and he is only a minor official. As for Baoyu...even though she loves Baoyu the most in her heart, she has to admit that, at least for now, Baoyu is not able to support the family.
Without Jia Cong, the prosperity of the Jia Mansion would soon turn into a mess, and would even be far worse than before.
Moreover, Jia Cong is now the master of the East Mansion and the head of the Jia family. Even if he really ignores her, an old lady, what can he do? Therefore, facing Jia Cong's dominance, she had to compromise. In other words, she had to give up the idea of bringing the two Yu'er together.
"Ah!" The old lady sighed, feeling exhausted. This grandson was good, but he was too strong, so strong that she couldn't control him. However, this grandson had become powerful now. Unless she risked her life to get rid of him, how could she completely break up with this grandson?
If they parted ways, then everything she had done before would be meaningless.
"The general and the prime minister are in harmony, the fairy is married, and the bed is full of hu tablets!" The old lady said to herself, perhaps such an arrangement is acceptable.
After thinking for a while, the old lady said to Amber, "Amber, go get my box."
Amber hurriedly took out a wooden box from the box nearby and handed it to Grandmother Jia. Grandmother Jia hesitated for a moment and then opened it. Inside were all extremely valuable jewelry.
She took out one of the bracelets, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "Go and give this pair of bracelets to Yuanyang, and ask Yuanyang to give them to Yu'er and Baochai on my behalf!"
The old lady was obviously decisive. Since she had accepted her fate and it could not be changed, she might as well join the fight if she couldn't beat them! Although her Baoyu would suffer now, it was much better than suffering for the rest of his life.
However, this gift was sent through Yuanyang's hands instead of being delivered by someone herself. This could be considered the last act of stubbornness on the part of this old lady!
Amber felt relieved, this disaster was finally over. Otherwise, she would have had a hard time these days.
Immediately, she called Boli over to help the old lady rest, and she took the bracelet and went towards Yuanyang's room.
In addition to the old lady, Mrs. Wang also did not sleep well! As for today's drama, she was just a spectator, and from the bottom of her heart, she was quite happy watching it.
You, old lady, have always suppressed me, your daughter-in-law. You have fought all kinds of battles over Baoyu. Now you have been strong all your life, but now you are being manipulated by others? Your granddaughter still wants to be my daughter-in-law? Are you crazy? This time, with Jia Cong's disturbance, she finally got rid of a worry.
However, along with the joy, there are also many unpleasant things.
Now there is no one to control that bastard, and he has even ruined her good fortune. If she doesn't use some tricks, wouldn't it be too easy for him?
After thinking for a moment, she said to Xiu Feng, "Go, call the Bai Fang family over to me."
Xiufeng did not dare to neglect it and hurried out to shout! Previously, Zhou Rui's family was the main person in charge of Wang Furen's room, but Zhou Rui's family was directly cleared up for the last incident and is still in prison. Therefore, she picked one of the original maids, the Bai Fang family.
Speaking of which, Bai Fang's family was not an outsider. She was the mother of the maids Jin Chuan'er and Yin Chuan'er. It's just that she didn't get the trust of Mrs. Wang before, so she was just a servant. Now Mrs. Wang had no one else to use, so she asked her to help in the room.
After all, she is the mother of her own maid, and the whole family is in her hands, so she will not do anything against her master.
Not long after, an old maid came in hurriedly! Mrs. Wang sent the maid away, then waved her hand to call the old maid to her side, and then whispered.
A moment later, the old lady knelt on the ground in fear, "Madam, I dare not do this!"
"Hmph!" Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, "With me here, what are you afraid of? If you can do it well, Jin Chuan'er will at least be Baoyu's concubine in the future, and I will naturally arrange a good future for Yin Chuan'er. But if you can't do it well..."
The old nanny looked terrified, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "Madam, I have agreed. If I cannot save my life in the future, please treat my two daughters well because I have been loyal to you."
Mrs. Wang smiled softly when she heard this. "Don't worry. Madam, how can I be cold-hearted? I will remember your kindness. Besides, this matter came out of my mouth and entered your ears. How could it be known by others? Just go and do it."
The old nanny's face was pale. She kowtowed to Mrs. Wang several times before retreating trembling.
After the woman left, Madam Wang sneered, "You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
