Wang Xifeng knew that if she didn't give a reasonable explanation, her good aunt, who had a false heart and a good mouth, would definitely not let her off easily.

Now is not the time to completely break up, she still has to think of a way to get by.

The banquet was over, and Grandmother Jia only kept Jia Min and Daiyu to talk, while everyone else went back to their own courtyards.

The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the angrier she became. She leaned on the couch with her eyes slightly closed. The maid Jin Chuan dared not breathe and kept pounding her legs.

There was a light on in the room, and it was a little dim. Jin Chuan didn't know if it was an illusion, but she quietly raised her head and saw Mrs. Wang's face in the candlelight. She suddenly felt a little scared and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look again.

For some reason, she always felt that the lady, who usually had a kind face, looked a little scary today.

But she couldn't say what was scary about it, she just felt something was wrong.

Just as she was thinking, Mrs. Wang suddenly called her name, "Jinchuan."

Jin Chuan quickly responded, "What's wrong, Madam?"

Mrs. Wang said without opening her eyes, "Go and ask Feng to come to me and tell her that I have something to ask her."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Jin Chuan said, then stood up and walked out.

She did not stop for a moment and hurried to Wang Xifeng's yard.

Jia Lian was also in the room, and the two of them were still talking before they went to bed.

When Wang Xifeng learned the purpose of Jin Chuan's visit, she raised her eyebrows, exchanged a glance with Jia Lian, and then said to Jin Chuan, "I understand. You go first. I'll pack up and come right over."

After Jin Chuan left, Wang Xifeng said, "Did you see? They are preparing to bring an army to investigate the crime."

Since Jia Lian and his wife found out about Mrs. Wang's plan, they hated her to the core and no longer had the respect they once had for her.

"How dare she bring this upon herself?" Jia Lian sneered, "Uncle Lin's transfer back to Beijing will only benefit our family, but she is the type who can't stand seeing others do well. It's no wonder the old lady got angry when she said that."

After Wang Xifeng came back, she told him the whole story, and Jia Lian was really angry.

He was counting on Uncle Lin to give him a promotion after his promotion. But if he offended Aunt Min, Jia Lian would feel that his life was hopeless, relying solely on his father who didn't care about anything.

Wang Xifeng comforted him by saying, "Aunt Min is not such a petty person. Even if she is annoyed, she is only annoyed with the Second Madam."

Speaking of this, Wang Xifeng was quite pleased with herself. "I have always been respectable in front of Aunt Min. She likes me very much and will not implicate us."

Jia Lian was relieved, thought for a moment, and said, "Since she asked you to go, you should go. If you don't go, you don't know how many accusations you will get. But you still have to think carefully about what to say if you go."

Wang Xifeng stood up and waved the handkerchief in her hand, "Don't worry about that. I have my own words to say."

Jia Lian smiled. Apart from anything else, his wife was an expert at dealing with people and things. "Then I will wait for grandma to return home."

The young couple smiled at each other without saying anything more.

Jia Lian was right. As soon as Wang Xifeng entered the room, Mrs. Wang started to talk to her.

What about not having her as your aunt in your heart, what about climbing up the social ladder, what about having no conscience...

In the past, Wang Xifeng would be secretly sad because of these words. She would open her heart and soul, but every time she did not meet Lady Wang's expectations, she would receive these groundless words in return.

But now, she just turned a deaf ear to it.

But her face still showed an expression of having suffered a great injustice, which made Mrs. Wang feel that her niece was still under her control and was being manipulated by her.

Wang Xifeng's eyes were red, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looking like she couldn't bear it. "What Madam said hurts my heart. Since I got married, even my mother-in-law is not as good as Madam in my heart. Why did Madam do this? Doesn't it make me feel uneasy?"

Mrs. Wang had a cold face and was not moved. "Feng girl, you are talking nicely now, but why didn't you say a word at the banquet just now? Do you think you care about me?"

Wang Xifeng's shoulders trembled slightly, and she let Mrs. Wang scold and rebuke her. She looked so pitiful.

Ping'er was waiting outside, listening to the faint sounds coming from inside. The anxiety on her face was for the people in Mrs. Wang's yard to see, but in fact she was not anxious at all.

In the yard, the servants also heard the noise inside. Although they could not hear clearly what was said, they could see through the window that the mistress was pointing and poking at Second Mistress Lian, and she looked very powerful.

Madam, you are really angry.

The servants in the Jia family were not careful about their word of mouth. Those who knew the truth whispered everything that had happened at the banquet, and those who didn't know the truth were amazed.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder the Madam asked Second Lady Lian to come over late at night. It turns out there was such a thing going on.

It's just that there are some things they shouldn't say. Although it was not right for Second Madam Lian not to support the discussion, it cannot be said that what the Madam said was not wrong.

There was a big happy event in the aunt's family, but the mistress didn't share in the joy. Instead, she poured cold water on them. No wonder everyone was unhappy.

A few days ago, my uncle got a promotion and my wife was so happy. Her reaction now is very different from that time.

After all, they are not my mother’s family.

Several servants looked at each other. It seemed that the rumor that the mistress was jealous of the aunt was true.

Otherwise, why would the madam be so jealous of the Lin family?

Mrs. Wang vented all the frustration that had been accumulated during the banquet on Wang Xifeng, which made her cover her face and cry.

Wang Xifeng was trembling and helpless. Second Madam Lian, who was so powerful outside, now looked like a duckweed in the water.

Her voice was trembling, but she still stepped forward to please Madam Wang, "Madam, I don't know."

"First, you and I are both from the Wang family. If I had said anything at that time, it would have seemed like I was joining forces to exclude the old lady. The old lady was already extremely angry at the time, and if I had said anything more, wouldn't it have been adding fuel to the fire?"

"Secondly, I'll say something that Madam may not like to hear. Aunt Min is already unhappy after what Madam said. If I say something else, it will backfire. Aunt Min will be fed up with us because of this, and Baoyu will be implicated."

Wang Xifeng wiped her tears, "Chengyu is on good terms with Prince Linhuai. I heard from Lian'er that Uncle Lin will be promoted when he returns to the capital this time. For Baoyu and the eldest daughter who is suffering in the palace, Madam must be patient and deal with the Lin family."

Baoyu and Yuanchun are Mrs. Wang's favorites. She has been planning for many years and even included her own niece in the scheme. It was all for the future. Today, it was her own fault for not keeping her composure.

When she saw Jia Min being so proud, she lost her mind for a moment.

Mrs. Wang's face changed several times, but Wang Xifeng was not panicked at all, because she knew that her words touched her heart.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang turned into her usual kind face. Wang Xifeng sneered in her heart and let Mrs. Wang pull her to sit down. "I was angry for a moment and wrongly blamed you. You see, I am old and confused. Please don't be angry."

Wang Xifeng waved her hands and tried to stand up, but was pulled back by Mrs. Wang and sat down again. She was flattered and said, "Madam, you are embarrassing me. Madam is my aunt, and I must make plans for you and Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang nodded, very satisfied.
