After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

"There is no better solution now, unless your grandmother's legacy is destroyed after a hundred years, and your second uncle's legacy that his line will never inherit the title is left behind!"

Both the father and the son were in a heavy mood. If the old lady lived the rest of her life peacefully, everyone would be fine. But if she insisted on standing up for the second house, who knows how much trouble would be caused!

The next day, Madam Liu sent many gadgets to Ping'er as promised, but these gifts caused Ping'er to complain!

"Mother, I don't like these things. I've grown up. This wooden duck won't move. I'm tired of playing with the broken drum. And this clay doll is too ugly... Grandmother doesn't like Ping Ge'er. Humph! I don't like her anymore..."

Mrs. Wang, who came to deliver the gifts, was very embarrassed. In fact, she also felt that these things were too real and were not given with much care. It was because the old lady had someone find the toys that Young Master Jun had when he was a child. She also said:

"These things are all good. It's already very good for a young boy like him to be able to give them to him. Do you want me to buy more for him?"

Dong Churou smiled and stroked her son's head, comforting him softly:

"My dear Ping, your grandmother is old and has forgotten that you have grown up and become sensible. These things are no longer suitable for you to play with. However, the fact that she has someone send them to you shows that she still cares about you. If you don't want to play with them, then put them aside. When your aunt gives birth to a little brother in the future, wouldn't it be just right for you to give them to her in advance?"

Ping'er's eyes rolled around, and after thinking for a while, he said to the old woman:

"Okay, then mother-in-law will go back and say thank you to grandma. In fact, if grandma buys Ping'er some new clothes, Ping'er will be very happy too!"

Mrs. Wang agreed and went back to tell the truth, without missing a single word. Old Madam Liu was so angry that she slammed the table:

"As you like, so will you grow. The eldest son is a cunning and treacherous person, and so is his son. Now, his grandson is even better than his father..."

"…It's obvious that he is dissatisfied with the gift I gave him and wants me to buy him new clothes! Humph! That's a nice thought. I, an old woman, want to leave all the money I have saved for my handsome brother!"

Mrs. Wang was much more sober than the old lady. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, she hurriedly said:

"Madam, you have to come back to win favor. If you are unwilling to spend money on a child, others will think you are narrow-minded and unwilling to buy a few new clothes for the child. If this gets out, others will look down on you!"

The old lady immediately frowned and snorted coldly:

"Humph! People can say whatever they want, I can't hear them anyway!"

Even so, she was still nervous and said to Mrs. Wang:

"Forget it, forget it. This time I was inconsiderate. I only thought about the eldest brother's family's well-off life, so I bought all the things for the second brother's family. If this were to be told to others, it would be inappropriate..."

"You can go to my storehouse and find the silk cloth they gave me as a gift a few years ago, pick out some nice patterns, and send them to them..."

"You can just say that I am an old woman who usually stays in the ancestral temple and cannot go out. I want to buy them some good things, but I am unable to do so. What's more, my hometown is just a village in the countryside. There is nothing good there. Let them have any prejudice!

Mrs. Wang agreed and was about to leave when she heard the old lady continue to give instructions:

"Find some jewelry from my jewelry boxes that you like and give them to my eldest grandson's wife and the pregnant woman, so that people won't accuse you of being rude!"

There was disdain in her words. How could Su Qingling, an abandoned woman, have the face to stay in the Marquis' Mansion? If outsiders saw this kind of family tradition, Yaer would be looked down upon even if she married into the Earl's Mansion!

What's more, there is a concubine's daughter, Li'er, who is only twelve or thirteen years old this year, but will be of marriageable age in a year or two. It is difficult for a concubine's daughter in a marquis's mansion to find a husband from a family that is neither high nor low. If she is affected by Su Qingling's reputation, I am afraid that the child will be very sad!

After hearing the instructions, Mrs. Wang went to the newly tidied warehouse to look for suitable cloth and head ornaments!

At this time, Tang brought the women from the second house to pay their respects to the ancestor. The men were on duty or studying, as they could not come back at this time!

"Mother, I came to thank you. I really like the headpiece you gave me, as well as the pair of satin fabrics. If I make a pleated skirt with flowers and pair it with the kingfisher-inlaid gold hairpin headpiece, I will look very decent when I go out to a banquet.

Su Qingya smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, and her words were sincere:

"Yes, the pieces of Shu brocade that grandma gave to Ya'er are all very beautiful. Ya'er has had them put into the dowry box. And the headgear you bought for Ya'er are all in fashion this year. When others see the dowry, they will be very proud!"

Even Su Qingli got a piece of balsamic-leaf-colored satin, which was glittering and extremely beautiful. For a little girl of twelve or thirteen, it was really very attractive!

"Grandma, you must be very tired these past two days since you came back. Let Li'er give you a leg massage!"

Su Qingli is very good at observing people's words and expressions. She doesn't dare to steal the limelight from her third sister, but she also wants to curry favor with the ancestor!

Old Madam Liu looked at her daughters-in-law and granddaughters, each of whom was self-centered, smiling and saying nice things, and she felt particularly proud!

Seeing that the little girl was very well-behaved, looking at him with admiration while squatting beside him and massaging his legs, he felt even more satisfied!

However, Su Qingya was very unhappy. That should have been her seat, but her half-sister couldn't tell the difference between superiors and inferiors and took her seat!

She spoke in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "Fourth sister, your skinny arms and legs, stop causing trouble for grandma, sit aside quickly, and let me serve grandma!"

Although Su Qingli was unwilling, she had to give up her place obediently, smiling:

"Third sister is right. I am still young and I have to take care of grandma. Third sister is the one who has to do it!"

Old Madam Liu watched the two of them exchange witty remarks, but she was not disgusted. She smiled and teased:

"It's still good to be young. It's the time for you girls to have fun! Alas, I'm getting old now. I can't help but sigh when I see you guys."

Li Fangfang still sat there like a transparent person, occasionally agreeing with a few words but never bringing up a topic!

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu also came over. One of them was dressed gorgeously, and the other was plain and elegant. Compared with Tang, each of them had her own merits, which reminded Old Madam Liu of her own youth!

Although she was a concubine's daughter at that time, she was quite loved by her father, the Duke of Liang. He was afraid that she would melt if he held her in his mouth, and afraid that she would fall if he held her in his hands, until her younger brother was born!

She and her brother were always sleepy. On her wedding day, her brother, who was already a big kid, cried heartbreakingly, shouting:

"I don't want my sister to get married. I want to marry my sister when I grow up!"
