The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

There were no guards in the courtyard of Yuanyuan Hall. Jiang Fei, who was wearing a waist-cut robe, looked serious and raised his hand to signal, "Madams, please come in."

Wang raised her hand to tighten her cloak, and with the careful support of her maid, she walked slowly in the corridor.

His brows furrowed as he thought about how to respond and explain what was going to happen next.

Looking at Mr. Jiang Wu and Mrs. Jiang Wu walking hand in hand in front of her, Wang Yuran's steps were a little unsteady, and her eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.

After Master Jiang Wu left the back room, servants brought the sisters steaming hot meals and the thick cloaks they had worn when they came.

But it could not cover up the humiliation they suffered in Yuanyuan Hall.

"Sister, what I said was also to protect myself..." Wang Yuran looked at Wang, eyes full of complaints, and explained anxiously.

Wang pretended not to hear and just walked forward silently.

My little sister has been like this since she was young. Whenever something goes wrong, she always thinks it is someone else's fault and wants her parents and brothers to support her unconditionally.

Old Madam Jiang sat in Minghui Hall and had no idea what had happened in Yuanyuan Hall.

Although she was puzzled as to why her eldest daughter-in-law had not shown up, she invited Old Lady Wang to have lunch in Ziminghui Hall out of courtesy.

Sunlight poured in through the transparent windows, making the west room look elegant and luxurious, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

Old Madam Jiang greeted her in-laws and sat side by side with Old Madam Wang on the Luohan bed.

Old Madam Jiang was wearing a crimson-purple brocade gown with a cross-collar. Although time had left traces on her face, one could still vaguely see her good looks when she was young.

Madam Wang was a few years older than Madam Jiang. She had a head full of white hair and an obviously old face. She looked a little stern when she wasn't smiling.

"...Old sister has taught her daughter well. Yu Rou has managed the household in perfect order over the years." Old Madam Jiang smiled, and it was not difficult to see her sincere admiration.

Madam Wang smiled and replied, "Yu Rou is the eldest daughter in the family, and she is the eldest daughter-in-law in the Duke Dingguo's mansion. These are what she should do."

After she finished speaking, she changed her tone and said, "It's a pity for my little daughter." A trace of worry and heartache flashed in her eyes.

Madam Jiang naturally knew that Wang Yuran had become a widow. Following the etiquette of treating guests as guests, she said:

"I remember when Yu Rou got married, her little sister was just over two years old, about the same age as Chen Ge'er is now. So many years have passed, and we are all old."

She sighed softly, her eyes revealing her regret for the passing of time.

Old Madam Wang nodded slightly, but she was thinking about her eldest daughter and youngest daughter in Master Jiang Wu's yard.

It was already past lunch time, but the two of them still hadn't shown up, and Old Lady Wang was becoming more and more anxious.

Several times when he talked to Madam Jiang about his young daughter, she naturally changed the subject. In addition, Mr. Jiang San had a dispute with the Duke and his wife over his late mother's dowry.

Mrs. Wang's dissatisfaction with her eldest daughter reached its peak as she became increasingly irritated.

Finally, a servant came in to report.

Soon Jiang Nansheng took Gu Jinchu's hand and the two came to the west room of Minghui Hall, while Wang and Wang Yuran also appeared behind them.

After paying respects, Madam Jiang looked kind and raised her hand to ask Gu Jinchu to sit next to her.

Madam Wang seemed not to notice her little daughter's abnormality and began to reprimand Wang:

"What did your father and I teach you at home? After you get married, you should respect your parents-in-law, be friendly to your brothers and sisters... When the Third Master got into trouble, how could you occupy his property without lending a hand!"

Wang thought of thousands of possibilities along the way, but the only thing she didn't expect was that her mother would be the first to attack her.

With the help of Zhang's mother, she sat down on the chair and asked with trembling lips: "Mother, do you have any misunderstandings about your daughter?"

Old Madam Wang glanced at her sideways and asked, "What misunderstanding?" She seemed like she didn't want to say more.

Madam Jiang laughed and said, "Nan Yi was at a loss and had to resort to this desperate measure. No matter how old a child is, if he is wronged, he will always think of asking his parents to solve the problem..."

He continued, "Yu Rou has been kind to the concubines over the years, and has raised several concubines very well. As the wife of the prince and the mistress of the house, she has done her duty conscientiously."

"Mother."

Wang looked at Old Madam Jiang. She had never thought that her mother-in-law would say such words and defend her in this way.

Madam Jiang smiled at her and asked, "Why did you come here with Xiaowu and his wife?"

Wang Yuran threw herself into her mother's arms and cried, "Mom, I brought gifts to Yuanyuan Hall to see Madam Wu, but I didn't want to be bitten by her cat!"
