Chapter 721 - 350 Godmother_2
Liang Jinyu was brought up by our old ancestors, straightforward, and didn’t like to beat around the bush.
If it had been a moment earlier, she would not have treated Lady Lin this way. Having heard Sister Huang’s words just now, her heart was filled with rage, and she no longer had any desire to save face for Maternal Aunt Qin and Lady Lin.
Lady Lin’s face turned beet red as she said with tears in her eyes, "I, I, didn’t mean..."
Maternal Aunt Qin also hurriedly explained, "The eldest miss has misunderstood, the third grandmother was just..."
Liang Jinyu scoffed, "I am speaking with my master, when did it become your turn to interject, Auntie?" Then, addressing Lady Cui, she said, "Mother, how did you use to teach me? A minor wife is nothing but a plaything, shown a little face when one is in a good mood and sent away when not."
Maternal Aunt Qin, frightened, quickly knelt down before Lady Cui, and Lady Lin stood up as well.
Liang Jinyu went on, "Please, third sister-in-law, take a seat. Why stand up while I am talking to Auntie? In the future, consult with my third brother on any matter, and don’t get swayed by those with ulterior motives making a fuss."
Liang Jinyu said this, partly because she genuinely did not believe Liang Jinchen would have such intentions; Liang Jinchen was clever and had been doted on by their mother as her own child. In addition, if Liang Jinchen indeed harbored those thoughts, while she wanted to admonish him, she also did not wish for him to become completely estranged from his siblings and mother, nor did she want to ruin their relationship for good.
Lady Cui chided, "You girl, what’s the matter with you?" Seeing her daughter pout in anger, she then said to Lady Lin and Maternal Aunt Qin, "You both go back first, I’ll talk with Yuyu."
As Lady Lin and Maternal Aunt Qin reached the door, Liang Jinyu added, "My mother may be very upset right now, but we are not fools. Some thoughts are better kept to oneself; do not covet what you cannot have and lose your dignity in your old age."
Maternal Aunt Qin paused for a moment before walking out.
Lady Cui pointed at a dish of delicate pastries on the kang table and said, "Yuyu, try these; your eldest sister-in-law had them sent over. We can talk slowly about whatever is on your mind. Girls of good families shouldn’t be so irate."
