Chapter 737 Mrs. Gu is angry
After a night, the rain stopped.
Shen Wantang slept alone in a big bed last night. She slept very comfortably and woke up a few minutes later than usual.
After washing up, she had a simple breakfast and then took her maid and nanny to pay her respects to Madam Gu in her courtyard.
"Greetings to mother."
When meeting Mrs. Gu, Shen Wantang had a smile on his face and spoke in a calm tone.
After greeting Madam Gu, she looked at Meng Yunlan, who had arrived earlier than her: "Sister-in-law."
Meng Yunlan looked kind, as if she wasn't the one who scolded Shen Wantang last night, as if she really treated Shen Wantang as her own sister: "Sister-in-law is here, come and sit down."
She said, patting the chair next to her.
Shen Wantang also looked unconcerned and sat down beside her with a smile.
Mrs. Gu was quite satisfied to see that the two of them were still on good terms, especially Shen Wantang. She didn't make a fuss about what happened yesterday, nor did she get upset with Meng Yunlan. She was considered sensible.
However, she had heard early in the morning that Shen Wantang seemed to be angry with Gu Qianhan and sent everyone to sleep in the study in the front yard.
There seemed to be a big dispute in the eldest house, so the eldest brother did not rest in his own yard, but went to the west yard to sleep all night, which had never happened before.
Mrs. Gu looked at Meng Yunlan's expression, then at Shen Wantang's expression, and then she found that the two people were in very different states.
Meng Yunlan's face looked bad, with a dark shadow under his eyes, and even the smile on his face seemed forced. It was obvious that he did not get enough rest last night and was in a bad mood.
Shen Wantang, on the other hand, was in high spirits, with a rosy complexion. Her expression revealed a sense of ease, and even her eyes were sparkling. It was obvious that not only did she sleep well last night, but she also didn't take yesterday's events to heart at all. She didn't even care that Gu Qianhan was sent to the study to sleep.
Mrs. Gu couldn't help but be surprised. How could this second daughter-in-law, who came from a humble background, have such a good mentality? How could she be so strong inside?
She deliberately tested Shen Wantang: "Tang'er, you look good, but what magic medicine did you use?"
Shen Wantang replied with a smile, "Mother, you're joking. There's no such thing as a magic pill. I just slept well last night, so I'm feeling pretty good today."
"But I heard that you and Qianhan had a quarrel? How can you sleep well like this?"
Shen Wantang still smiled: "That's not true. My husband and I are doing fine. Mother, don't listen to what they say."
"Then why did Qianhan sleep in the study in the front yard last night? Didn't you kick her out of the bedroom?"
"How could that be? I didn't chase him away!"
Shen Wantang lied with his eyes wide open: "He wanted to sleep in the study in the front yard on his own. You know, he's been very busy lately. Although I don't know what he's busy with, he's been very busy. There are so many things to deal with. Otherwise, he wouldn't have even let me into the study yesterday. He's busy!"
She spoke in a relaxed and light tone, as if she didn't take what happened yesterday seriously.
But Madam Gu was no fool; she knew she was taking this opportunity to express her dissatisfaction. It was just that she spoke so tactfully and beautifully that no one could find fault with her.
Mrs. Gu subconsciously glanced at Meng Yunlan, and the displeasure in her heart surged again.
This matter was all caused by Meng Yunlan. I don’t know what was wrong with her that she had to run to the front yard to deliver bird’s nest soup to her brother-in-law.
She had never been so attentive before. Whenever there was something to be delivered to Gu Qianhan, it was the maids and nannies who did it. Now that Gu Qianhan was married, she not only did not avoid suspicion, but also personally delivered the things to his study.
I'm afraid you're just bored and have nothing to do!
If she had known she was so idle, why would she, as the mother-in-law, take over the housekeeping business? Wouldn't this leave Meng Yunlan with nothing to do, giving her free time to run to her brother-in-law's study?
Moreover, that was clearly the blood bird's nest she gave to Meng Yunlan to nourish his body, but Meng Yunlan didn't eat it himself, but actually boiled it and gave it to Gu Qianhan!
Gu Qianhan has a strong yang energy, abundant energy, and a strong body that can beat a hundred or eighty people alone. Does he need to eat blood bird's nest? Wouldn't it be a complete waste to give it to him?
What's even more outrageous is that Meng Yunlan only gave it to Gu Qianhan, and didn't give it to Gu Qianling who worked so hard on the job, nor did he give it to his parents-in-law!
On the contrary, Shen Wantang made bird's nest soup last night and sent it to every courtyard, and the first person she sent it to was her, the mother-in-law.
Originally, Mrs. Gu didn’t think it was a big deal that Meng Yunlan didn’t send her bird’s nest. After all, she didn’t lack this food.
But there is a comparison, and this comparison immediately makes people realize that something is wrong.
The second daughter-in-law lost her mother at a young age, and her father was unreliable, so no one raised her carefully, but she still knew to respect her parents-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law was a lady from a prominent family, and she invited all the great scholars in the capital to teach her about knowledge and etiquette, but she actually ignored her parents-in-law and only cared about her brother-in-law!
Does this make sense?
The more Mrs. Gu thought about it, the more unhappy she became.
She just remembered that when Qiao Zhiyu came to see her with her son yesterday, she casually mentioned that Gu Qianling had no umbrella and his clothes were wet.
If Qiao Zhiyu hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known that her son lived like this every day! She had thought that her eldest daughter-in-law was careful and attentive, and would take care of her son meticulously! It turned out that all this was just an illusion created by her son!
It rained so heavily yesterday, but Meng Yunlan didn't care about Gu Qianling or send him an umbrella, but had the leisure to run to Gu Qianhan!
Mrs. Gu could no longer suppress her dissatisfaction. Although she had scolded Meng Yunlan yesterday, she felt that it was not enough.
She was about to open her mouth and criticize Meng Yunlan again, but she heard Meng Yunlan say:
"Mother, I want to go back to the Meng Mansion today. My family has hired a famous doctor for me and told me to go back early so that the doctor can take my pulse."
Mrs. Gu's face suddenly turned cold.
Back to the Meng family again? !
Why doesn't she just live in the Meng family instead of marrying into the Duke's Mansion!
But despite her cold expression, she still nodded: "Go ahead, the sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back."
She couldn't possibly stop her daughter-in-law from returning to her parents' home, especially since her parents' home was from a wealthy and noble family.
"Yes."
Meng Yunlan stood up and left with the maid and nanny.
As soon as she left, Shen Wantang also said goodbye and left.
After they all left, Madam Gu got angry: "She keeps going back to her parents' home every few days. I don't think she considers the Duke's Mansion her own home at all!"
"What else is she talking about? Her family hired a famous doctor for her. What does she mean? Isn't the doctor our Duke's Mansion hired for her a famous doctor?"
"If this gets out, people will think I'm mistreating my daughter-in-law. I can't even hire a doctor for her, and her family has to pay for one!"
Nanny Chang quickly said, "Madam, calm down. The eldest young mistress probably didn't mean that. She's simple-minded and always speaks her mind. You know, she's probably worried about having an heir, which is why she keeps running back to her parents' home."
