Chapter 160 - 81 Picking a Quarrel on Purpose
"Madam," in the blink of an eye, Cui Zhu ran back again, whispering, "Master and madam haven’t had lunch yet. Madam said to send lunch over to them later..."
Startled, Mrs. Wang looked up at the Western clock on the wall subconsciously, her heart ached and anger rose as she frowned, "What kind of life is this!" Waving Cui Zhu away, she hurriedly instructed the maids, "Quick, tell the kitchen to rush some dishes that the elder miss loves and send them over!"
Before long, Shi Lian came over. Mrs. Wang, feeling sorry for her own daughter, didn’t have the patience to deal with her and dismissed her in a few words, and Shi Lian obediently retreated without much ado.
Just as Shi Lian left, Sang Wan arrived, seeing only her mother-in-law Mrs. Wang in the hall. After greeting and inquiring about her well-being, she laughed and said, "Mother, didn’t you say that my elder sister came back? Why didn’t I see her?"
"Oh," Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "she’s exhausted from a day’s journey and has gone to rest! You go busy yourself, there’s no rush to see her tonight! Right, tell the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes; all of you come over for dinner tonight. And also, tell someone to inform Fengju to come back early tonight!"
"Yes, mother!" Sang Wan smiled in response, then asked, "May I know what dishes my elder sister and her husband like, so I can instruct the kitchen to prepare?"
Mrs. Wang, delighted by Sang Wan’s consideration for her daughter, laughed and said, "The sisters in the kitchen already know! Just give them the instructions! Off you go!"
"Alright, I’ll go down first!" Having heard this, Sang Wan didn’t inquire further and smiled as she took her leave.
Even though Sang Wan hurried over and didn’t see Shi Yumei, if it had been the usual, Sang Wan would have minded a bit: since they had asked for her presence, shouldn’t Shi Yumei at least wait to greet her before resting, even if she was tired? But Sang Wan felt that this was probably her mother-in-law’s doing.
Mrs. Wang often acted capriciously, calling her to come and meet someone, but then sending her daughter to rest at the same time. Sang Wan believed her mother-in-law could do such a thing.
Hence, it never crossed Sang Wan’s mind that Shi Yumei deliberately wanted to slight her; she completely misunderstood the situation.
