Old Madam Wang was originally unwilling to entertain them anymore and only let Madam Ma take over.
Madam Ma thought that her performance in the day was indeed not good. Now that she had to face the Madams of the Jiang Family, she was naturally afraid.
It was fine if she lost face, and it did not matter if she was mocked. But if she embarrassed her mother-in-law and caused others to look down on the Wang Family, it would be her fault.
She thickened her face and asked the old lady to help handle the situation.
Only then did Old Madam Wang come.
âWeâll accept the gift. As for the marriage, itâs a matter between the two children after all. As an old woman with half her body buried in the ground, 1 have nothing to say.â Old Madam Wang did not seem to see the Jiang Familyâs First Madamâs stiff smile and said, âOur Wang Family doesnât have much. We only have a lot of boys. All of them are tough and only puked blood from the beating. Theyâll recover after 6 to 8 years. They can only blame themselves for being unlucky. In the past, I only taught them to be kind and warm-hearted, but I forgot to teach them to be vigilant against others. Itâs my fault.â
First Madam could not continue speaking. Why was this old lady talking like this?!
They had all come to apologize sincerely!
First Madam was the biological mother of Second Young Master Jiang and Second Miss. There was also the First Young Master who was also her child.
As for the Eldest Miss and the unconscious Third Young Master, they were Second Madamâs children.
Second Madam held her wrist and gestured for her to calm down. Only then did she take a step forward with a smile and say to Old Madam Wang, âOld Madam, at the end of the day, our Jiang Family is in the wrong in this matter. Weâve also shown our sincerity. Iâm grateful that your grandson saved my child and we definitely wonât dare to forget it. But your words just now are also a little uncomfortableââ
âUncomfortable? Thatâs right then.â Old Madam Wangâs face turned cold. âOur Erlang saved your children, so after we accept the thank-you gift and the apology, weâll have to give our Erlang to be your son-in-law? Iâve never seen anyone repay kindness with ingratitude like this!â
This time, First Madam and Second Madam were dumbfounded.
Repay kindness with ingratitude?
Although Second Miss Jiang of the Jiang Family was a little more cheerful and did not look like an ordinary young lady, she still had the etiquette and manners she should have.
The family that she marries into needs to be very good too!
At the very least, in the past, the Wang Family was completely not within their consideration.
âOld Sister, youâre wrong!â Matriarch Jiang, who had been silent all this while, finally could not hold it in anymore. She raised her voice and said, âOur Jiang Familyâs daughter has been carefully raised since she was born. Not to mention being worthy of being a member of the royal family, sheâs even worthy of being an officialâs wife. How is it a bad thing for your Wang Erlang to marry her?â
Old Madam Wang: âYou can still speak. I thought that your Jiang Family carried an old Buddha statue that doesnât know how to speak and brought it here to establish an imposing aura.â
Before Matriarch Jiang could flare up in exasperation, Old Madam Wang said, âYour Jiang Familyâs children are carefully raised, but our Wang Familyâs children are raised crudely? As long as you come to our house to take a look, youâll know that every single one of our children was raised with a lot of effort and the entire familyâs strength! In our family, thereâs no difference between the old and young, and thereâs no rotten relationships involving legitimate wives and concubines. As long as theyâre children of our Wang Family, theyâre raised with great care, like baby cubs held in the motherâs mouth. Theyâre all treasures. Whoever touches them will see the wrath of our Wang Family!â
The children of the Wang Family who were eavesdropping subconsciously touched their chests.
Were they that important in Grandmaâs heart?
âOur Erlang also has the appearance of a dragon and phoenix. In the future, he will be a top three imperial civil service scholar. No matter how badly a top three imperial civil service scholar performs he will be able to become a fourth-grade official. Moreover, Erlangâs future is far more than that! How can your Jiang Familyâs daughter marry such a good man? Now that youâve harmed his body, youâre still thinking of damaging his future married life. If this isnât repaying kindness with ingratitude, what is?!â
Wang Erlang, who had his ears stretched out in the room, and Madam Ma, who was beside Old Madam Wang, were all stunned.
The old lady actually had such high expectations for me/our Erlang?
Only Qin Huai looked relieved when he heard this.
Grandma had such high expectations of the grandsons of the Wang Family who were despised by her. If it was her favorite Ah Yu, what kind of expectations would she have?
Fortunately, he had made an appointment with Ah Yu in advance.
Otherwise, in terms of her expectations on social status, Grandma might really require All Yuâs match to be a legitimate prince. She had to live a wealthy and privileged life, even if she didnât become a queen.
At that time, he could only watch helplessly..
