Old Madam Zhou took a deep breath.

She couldn't help but think that if it were last year at this time, someone would have come to congratulate her.

But today, it is no different from usual.

It turned out that all this was because Jiang Wanqing didn’t even send a birthday party!

Madam Zhou couldn't help but question, "Zi Gu had already informed you that today is my birthday party, so why didn't you make any preparations? Besides, didn't you do a great job last year? Why aren't you doing it this year?"

Jiang Wanqing raised the corners of her lips: "Because...I don't want to serve you anymore!"

[Oh~ Mom, what you said is really cool~]

Jiang Wanqing's words also amused Xiaoxiao in her arms.

Old Madam Zhou was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't react.

He said in disbelief: "You...what did you just say!"

Jiang Wanqing said firmly once again: "Because I think it's troublesome, I don't want to serve you anymore. Why do you think that I can pretend nothing happened and continue to host your birthday party today when you embarrassed me in the listening library a few days ago?"

Old Madam Zhou suddenly laughed out of anger.

Then she said, "Are you crazy? This is my birthday party! Besides, I'm your mother-in-law, why don't you hold it for me?"

Jiang Wanqing shrugged, looking helpless.

Then he walked slowly to a chair not far away.

Then he spoke faintly, "Mother-in-law can do it herself. Why don't you do it yourself? Oh, I remember now. It's because there is no money on the account of the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion, right? You can't do it even if you want to, so forget it.

It's just a birthday party. If we don't have the money to hold it this year, we can just hold it next year. Mother-in-law won't live to hold a birthday party next year, right?"

As he said this, Jiang Wanqing showed an innocent expression.

Madam Zhou immediately held her forehead with her hand. The nanny beside her quickly stepped forward, supported Madam Zhou, and shouted worriedly: "Madam, are you okay?"

Old Madam Zhou rubbed her temples and looked at Jiang Wanqing with an unfriendly face.

He couldn't help but think that if he continued to stay with Jiang Wanqing like this, it would be difficult for him to live to see the next birthday party.

One day, Jiang Wanqing will anger me to death.

Jiang Wanqing then spoke up at the right time: "Mother-in-law, don't be angry. Today is your birthday after all. I also know that Her Royal Highness the Princess is coming, so today's dishes will also have a few more dishes than usual. We won't say that it's just two dishes and one soup, which will make Her Royal Highness the Princess look down on us."

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she took a deep breath.

He hurriedly took a few steps forward and came in front of Jiang Wanqing, frowning and saying, "Jiang Wanqing, since you know that Her Royal Highness the Princess will come today, it's okay for you to be harsh on the food, clothing and expenses of the people in the mansion on weekdays, but today, you must not do that!"

Old Madam Zhou was afraid that Jiang Wanqing was so stingy that if she arranged the same food as usual for her today, it would offend Her Royal Highness the Princess, which would be bad.

Jiang Wanqing raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? How am I being harsh on you? Isn't it because your Xingchang Marquisate is so poor that there is no money at home or abroad? It was like this when I married in. Now you can't even eat a few dishes, why do you blame me?"

When Jiang Wanqing thought that they would be able to divorce soon, she was too lazy to continue pretending with Madam Zhou.

When he spoke to Old Madam Zhou, he was very rude, but now he was too lazy to even pretend.

Old Madam Zhou opened her eyes wide, a little confused.

He opened his mouth and said, "Jiang Wanqing? Did you take the wrong medicine today?"

Jiang Wanqing sneered and was too lazy to reply.

After a while, a servant came in carrying gifts.

When Madam Zhou saw this, she hurried forward, looked at the servant, and asked, "Whose gift is this?"

The servant said respectfully, "In reply to the old lady, this is a gift from the eldest lady. The eldest lady and her husband wish you a happy birthday and all the best."

Madam Zhou looked behind the servant and said with some disappointment: "She didn't come?"

The servant shook his head, put the gift down and left.

Madam Zhou suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Then he came to Jiang Wanqing again and accused her, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't sent the invitations, why wouldn't they come? Think about last year, so many people came to wish me a happy birthday, and the birthday party was so lively. This year's birthday party is nothing! It's better not to have it!"

Jiang Wanqing laughed out loud when she heard this: "Mother-in-law, what you said is really interesting. If someone cares about you, why would they not come just because there is no invitation?

Besides, why was it so lively last year? It was because of the invitation I, Jiang Wanqing, sent out. They came to your feast because of my face.

If possible, you can send out invitations next year and see how many people will come and how many people will buy into your idea?"

Old Madam Zhou's face froze.

He frowned and said, "Humph, maybe next year they will come with more people because of my face! By then, I won't rely on your face, but..."

Having said this, Mrs. Zhou suddenly shut her mouth.

After all, Zhou Zigu's relationship with the princess has not yet come to fruition, and he has not yet divorced Jiang Wanqing.

That kind of words are not suitable to be spoken out loud.

However, Jiang Wanqing pointed it out directly.

Then she laughed out loud: "Mother-in-law, do you want to say, for the sake of the future princess' mother-in-law?"

Madam Zhou was surprised. She didn't expect Jiang Wanqing to say it directly: "How did you know..."

Jiang Wanqing shook her head helplessly: "The Marquis and the Princess have never concealed anything in front of me. If I didn't know, wouldn't I be a blind person? But, mother-in-law, how can you be so sure that you can control the Princess?"

Jiang Wanqing looked at Old Madam Zhou with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

I wonder how Her Royal Highness the Princess will treat her mother-in-law when she marries into the Marquis of Xingchang’s mansion and finds out that Zhou Zigu is inhumane?

After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess is a moody person.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but look forward to it.

Old Madam Zhou always felt very uncomfortable when she saw the way Jiang Wanqing was looking at her.

But he still said in a tough tone: "Since you know everything, then you'd better ask to leave! I tell you, only Her Royal Highness the Princess is suitable to be the daughter-in-law of our Zhou family! If you don't respect your mother-in-law, there will naturally be someone willing to do so!"

Jiang Wanqing raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't ask to leave on my own!"
