Chapter 725 - 351 Mr. Qian and Yueniang_3
He felt too embarrassed to continue speaking. Although Lady Cui showed indifference to him, he believed that he could eventually coax her over, after all, they shared so many years of deep mother-son affection.
But it was difficult for Lady Lin and Maternal Aunt Qin to appease Lady Cui’s anger. Today, Maternal Aunt Qin knelt in the main courtyard for a whole day, but Lady Cui didn’t even meet her. Lady Lin did meet her, but her words were laced with sarcasm.
Liang Jinchen believed that Lady Lin and Maternal Aunt Qin also deserved a lesson for being careless and not knowing how to judge the situation. Other people’s legitimate sons, suppressed by their stepmothers, were even persecuted to death. Yet he was fortunate, his stepmother cherished him as her own, and his legitimate brother and sister also did not look down on him, treating him as a true sibling. Those two didn’t know how to be grateful, didn’t know how to help him make his stepmother happy, but also harbored thoughts they shouldn’t have had...
Afterward, he and his brothers played Go in the room to the west, and Qian Yixiu considerately brewed tea for them by hand.
The next morning, not long after sending off Liang Jinzhao, he saw Lady Lin come to Lianxiang Courtyard; she was here to arrange with Qian Yixiu to visit Lady Cui in the main courtyard together.
Qian Yixiu also acted as if nothing had happened, inviting her to sit in the room with a cheerful smile, and then they went together to the main courtyard.
The road had completely dried up, so the two expectant mothers walked on their own.
Upon entering the courtyard gate, they saw Maternal Aunt Qin standing under the eaves of the upper room with a red face, ignored by the bustling servants. Lady Lin’s face was as red as Monkey Brother’s; Qian Yixiu pretended not to see, and they passed her to enter the upper room.
In the side room, Duke Liang and Lady Cui were sitting cross-legged on the kang, eating breakfast. Yesterday, the first day of May, was the day Duke Liang spent the night in the main courtyard.
