If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

All the powerful families in Haoyue Capital City received news that the Queen and the Princess would be arriving in the capital soon.

At the morning court session, the emperor had clearly rejected the Ministry of Rites' suggestion that all officials should come to greet him respectfully. The emperor's original words at the time were: "The Empress and the Princess have already written to you and said that at the end of the year, everyone is very busy with official duties. They will accept your kindness and will not waste your time."

Since the order was issued in public, the heads of the various palaces should not be able to go. However, the queen is in charge of the harem, and the men in charge cannot show up. So what about the women? Should they go? When should they go? How should they go? Where should they go to welcome the guests?

All the adults and their wives scratched their heads but couldn't make up their minds. Finally, the ancestor of the family couldn't stand it anymore, so he told his sons and daughters-in-law to be ready to leave at any time, and then sent several people to guard the gates of the capital day and night, keeping a close eye on the Chu Mansion, Feng Mansion and Situ Mansion.

With one family taking the lead, other mansions followed suit and sent people to guard the city gates. Some even went so far as to directly block the gates of the Chu, Feng and Situ mansions, keeping a close eye on the movements of the women of these three families.

When the First and Third Madam Feng arrived at the door of Ci'an Hall, bursts of laughter were heard from inside. The Second Madam Feng and Aunt Zhou were already sitting inside, chatting and laughing with the Old Madam Feng.

After hearing the report from the old woman guarding the door, the laughter and joy in the house stopped abruptly.

The two of them lowered their heads, looked at each other quietly, and walked into the house.

"Mother," Madam Feng bowed and saluted, then asked with a smile, "Second brother and sister-in-law came early. What were they talking about just now? Tell us about it so that we can be happy too."

"We can't compare with the eldest sister-in-law and the third brother's wife. We are just two useless idlers. We can only come to mother's place and chat with her old family." The second wife said sarcastically, while Aunt Zhou smiled and said nothing or stood up.

Regarding the rude behavior of the two people from the second house, the old lady Feng, who was sitting at the head, began to play dumb again. The first lady Feng's chest suddenly swelled up again and again, her eyes darkened, and finally she endured the sarcastic remarks of the second lady, raised her head and smiled at the old lady Feng without changing her expression, "Today, my daughter-in-law has something else to ask mother."

"You are a capable person, and I am an old woman who cannot make decisions. You can make decisions on your own if there is anything. There is no need to ask for permission or not." Madam Feng replied without even raising her eyelids.

Madam Feng was so angry that her chest puffed up violently a few times. She understood what was said. It seemed that the Second Madam came here to complain again, so Madam Feng vented her anger for her.

After taking a deep breath, Madam Feng continued with a smile, "Mother, are you making fun of me? My little sister and her mother will arrive in the capital tomorrow. I want to ask, when are we going to go to greet them tomorrow?"

Madam Feng's half-smiley face suddenly froze, and the hand holding the tea bowl began to tremble. The tea swirled in the bowl for a long time.

"Sure enough, the eldest sister-in-law knows how to behave. No wonder she is so likable. Unlike me, a rough man who can't do anything, let alone behave." The second wife jumped out again, and her words became more and more sarcastic: "But then again, in this world, it is the daughter who comes to visit the mother. How can it be reasonable for a mother of her age to go and welcome her daughter in person?"

"you?"

"Did I say something wrong? My words are rough but my point is true! My eldest sister-in-law and my third brother's wife have always been better at dealing with people than me. You should go quickly, or else you will be beaten to it by others and lose the first place in front of the Queen and the eldest princess." The second lady said this quickly and urgently, like a torrential rain.

This time, Doctor Feng's face was completely pressed to the ground, in front of the maids and old women in the room, without giving her any face at all.

"Second brother's wife, listen to what you are saying. What do you mean by I know how to behave? What exactly do you mean? Let's make it clear in front of mother!" No matter how well-mannered the eldest lady was, she was made to lose her temper by her.

Seeing the two of them starting to confront each other, the old lady came to her senses. She first coughed heavily, then stared at Madam Feng for a long time, as if she wanted to see someone through her, and her expression flickered.

"Okay, all of you go back," and then raised her wrist to the little girl standing beside her: "Help me go back to the house and lie down for a while."

The second wife glared at the first wife and the third wife standing behind her, then stood up hastily and asked anxiously, "Mother, how are you? I'll send someone to get a doctor right away!"

"No need. I'll just lie down for a while." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house with the help of the little girl.

On the path outside the gate of Feng Mansion Ci'an Hall, the Third Madam said in a low voice with a look of indignation on her face: "Sister-in-law, what does Second Sister-in-law mean? We didn't offend her, how could she have the nerve to give us a cold shoulder? Is she relying on the old lady's pampering to her?"

The first lady did not respond. Today's incident made her very angry and now she didn't want to mention the people from the second house at all.

"So what are we going to do about this tomorrow?"

"We won't do anything. We'll just have to do whatever our father-in-law says. He's not as confused as our mother."

"By the way, sister-in-law, you came in earlier than me. What do you think mother did wrong? After all, my younger sister is her biological daughter. After so many years, doesn't she really miss me?"

There are many people in the Feng family who have this question. But few people can explain the specific reason. All we know is that the youngest daughter of the Feng family was very favored before she got married and left the capital. She suddenly left quietly that year, and no one knows where she went, or whether she is alive or dead.

The two ladies of the Feng family didn't have to wait too long. During dinner, the head of the Feng family brought back accurate news.

"Have the palace and the Princess's residence been tidied up?"

The eldest lady helped her husband take off his outer clothes and put on his casual clothes while smiling and saying, "It's all done. My third brother's wife and I carefully checked the house three times inside and out, and the servants who were watching over it also gave detailed instructions."

"Well, Madam, you have worked hard recently." The head of the Feng family took the opportunity to hold his wife's hand, "This family is very much thanks to you for managing everything inside and outside, otherwise I don't know how messed up it would be."

"It's not hard, but..." The first lady looked at her husband's face and hesitated to speak. They were a young couple and had been married for nearly 20 years. The head of the Feng family respected her very much both inside and outside the mansion. There were no beautiful women in the main house and backyard to bother her. Overall, she was satisfied with this marriage, except...
