C17 Tolerate to Retreat
Madame Li's words not only revealed that her big sister, Yun Zhi, was a well-known genius in the capital, but also gave the mother and daughter a ruthless kick.
Just as Madame Li finished speaking, she heard an unconvinced voice come from outside the door, "What do you mean by 'elder sister-in-law'? Why is our third concubine so petty?" Young Miss is a famous and talented woman in the capital, and our Sister Chang is not that bad. Why do you have to be so overbearing when you speak like that, sister-in-law? "
The door curtain was opened, and Rong Qing came in with Yun Chang.
"Oh, what Aunt Qiao said just now, did I say your Chang'er is bad? Ke has just returned to the main branch of the family and knows that she has to establish a rule in front of the madame. However, as someone who has been in the household for more than ten years, I wonder if you would bring Sister Chang and your sister along earlier? "
The Li family came from the main branch of Uncle Wu Chang's estate, and after entering the mansion, they had great aspirations. Within two years, they had given birth to their eldest son's daughter. Even if the madame had always been strict, there was no way she could be wrong in picking out her first wife. This made Lady Li dare to speak up and do as she pleased at the House of the Marquis in Dingguo.
She never had a good face when it came to such a low body and entering from the back door. However, in the past, because of Yun Yu's delicate maintenance and the madame's desire for harmony in the family, she didn't speak too much.
Yesterday, she had wanted to use this opportunity to put on a show of force against Yunke, but to her surprise, Yunke actually got a slight advantage over her. Even Yun Yu's personal request for Fuzheng was ignored, so Lady Li naturally wouldn't miss such a great and ironic opportunity.
"Li Clan, you …" In the past few years, she had also been a domineering master in the Third Branch. Although she wasn't the matriarch, because of Yunyu's pampering, no one in the Third Branch was able to control her.
She had always been unsatisfied with her sister-in-law, Madame Li. She had always had a stomach that worked hard, so she was not bad; Madame Li came from Uncle Wu Chang's estate, and she also came from the General's estate. She didn't feel that she was worse than Lady Li, only that Madame Li was a bit luckier than her.
Having been criticized by Madame Li in front of the madame, she was immediately enraged and opened her mouth, wanting to take revenge.
Yun Ke sat beside the madame and had been quiet all this time. Seeing the madame frown, it was obvious that she was dissatisfied with the situation. She then got up from her seat, looked at her, and gently said, "Aunt, didn't you bring your sister-in-law to pay respects to Grandmother?"
It seemed like he had reminded her to pay her respects when she entered the room, but in reality, he was accusing her of being unfilial to the madame.
It could be said that she instantly understood the meaning behind Yun Ke's words. She pulled Yun Bo and Yun Chang to kneel before the madame as she glared at Yun Ke without forgetting.
Yun Ke did not take her dissatisfaction seriously at all. Her gaze landed on Yun Chang, who was currently only eleven years old.
Recalling his past life, she had always been reserved and calm, while Yun Chang had always been beautiful and flamboyant. Chu Yixuan had seen her at the Hou Mansion once before, so he had often mentioned her.
At that time, she had always thought that Chu Yixuan loved her home and cared for her younger sister because he cared for her. In fact, the two of them had already seduced each other when she wasn't aware of this.
In his previous life, when she had been beheaded, Yun Chang had brought people to mock him on stage, and the voice that was not the least bit hidden was also filled with Yun Chang's ridicule, "Yun Ke, you're just a fool. You're so stupid that you're being used by the emperor, and you're so stupid that you're being designed by my mother. In your next life, you should become smarter, or else you'll still die without a burial ground."
Yun Chang, the one who will die without a burial ground in this lifetime is you, and retribution will come very soon, just you wait.
