Chapter 77: Lies to Coax (Additional Updates for Favorites)
As soon as Shang Erlang left, Erlang's wife's voice became even louder.
"Look, look, this is the man who is in charge of the family? He will only run away when encountering problems, making me, a woman, lose face here. Since that's the case, I don't care. Third brother, you can handle it. Anyway, I have brought Sixth Mother's words. As for whether Fourth Mother will go or stay, or something else, you can handle it."
"The dowry I brought has been almost ruined over the years. I have no intention and no ability to help anymore. Since Third Brother thinks that I, as the second sister-in-law, have handled it unfairly, then let your wife be the head of the family. I will go back to raise the two children."
After saying that, he pretended to leave.
How could Sanlang's wife be willing to take over this mess? She immediately stood up and pulled her to comfort her.
"Second sister-in-law misunderstood us. No one is more dedicated than second sister-in-law in the matter of being the head of the family. Sanlang also said the wrong thing for his sister. Don't worry about it."
Erlang's wife didn't want to be intimate with the third sister-in-law now, so she pushed her hand away and said.
"Sister-in-law, are you scolding me for not thinking about the fourth sister?"
"Second sister-in-law, am I that kind of person?"
Sanlang's wife usually interacts with her and always flatters her, so Erlang's wife doesn't really reject her.
It's just a play, and Erlang's wife is happy to throw the problem out for everyone to think about.
In the end, it was the third old lady who bit the bullet and spoke.
"Okay, why are you all arguing here? Don't let the neighboring Fifth House laugh at you. Don't forget, they still have Seventh Lady. If this matter really gets out, I'm afraid the peaches will be picked by others."
After she said this, the Second and Third Lady's wives shut up.
They both returned to their respective seats and didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, the Third Old Master, who had been silent all this time, turned his eyes to Shang Fourth Lady who was sitting at the back, then cleared his throat and asked in a gentler tone.
"Fourth Lady, what do you think about this? Tell us, if you really don't want to, we won't force you."
Compared to the Fifth House, the Third House has a little conscience.
At least there are still two sober people.
But Shang Fourth Lady remained silent. If it weren't for the slight breathing sound in her chest, I'm afraid everyone would have thought she was dead.
Silence can't solve the problem.
On the contrary, it intensifies the conflict.
The Third Old Lady had no patience to begin with. Seeing her granddaughter’s reluctance, she was very annoyed.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard someone coming outside.
“Miss Six is here.”
Shang Liu Niang knew how to choose the right time. She came at a good time.
Erlang’s wife felt relieved when she heard that she was here.
If we really talk about talking, Shang Liu Niang is even better than her.
The most important thing is that Shang Liu Niang is very proud in front of the people in the Third House.
One word from her is worth ten words from me.
In this way, the matter can be settled without breaking up with everyone. Very good!
As expected, the atmosphere was very different when Shang Liu Niang came in.
The Third Old Master and the Third Old Lady both smiled, and Shang Yurong and his wife, who had always had little presence, were also happy.
Even if there were two sons, they felt that the most filial and lovable one was the little daughter.
On weekdays, she always thought about giving them gifts, and from time to time she would take them out for a walk and a meal.
She was there to accompany them, and she also provided them with money.
She was much more considerate than her two sons.
So Shang Yurong rarely said a word.
"Sixth Sister is here?"
"My daughter greets Daddy."
Then she greeted everyone present, and said sweet words with a smile on her face, which made people feel happy.
Even to Shang Si Niang, who had been silent all the time, she could smile with her eyes curved.
She stepped forward and patted her hands and said.
"I know that Fourth Sister must be resentful of me now, so I want to explain it quickly. The things in the Min Palace are really not as simple as you think."
Hearing her say this, not to mention others, even Shang Si Niang had a slight reaction.
Finally, she raised her head and looked at her sixth sister, but there was a flash of inferiority in her eyes.
Liu Niang's face showed that she was well-nourished. It was not her who suffered in her husband's family and was wronged in her parents' family.
"Wasn't it your idea?"
After talking for so long, Shang Si Niang finally spoke timidly.
After hearing this, San Lang next to her couldn't help but join in.
"Sixth sister, although you married into the Jia family, you are also from our third room. If you don't have it, you can use your fourth sister to fill the way for the Jia family's wealth. If they want to climb up to the Minwang Mansion so much, they can send their daughter there themselves, and don't think about our family."
He said it quickly, without hiding anything.
Hearing this, Shang Si Niang looked at her brother with great gratitude, and then looked at Shang Liu Niang with some resentment.
It turned out that she was also a good actor, and she said she was wronged as soon as she opened her mouth.
She explained immediately.
"I was afraid that my family would misunderstand me, so I hurried to explain. I heard about the Min Wang Mansion from my husband's family. I thought that my fourth sister had no place to stay here, so I spoke up. I didn't expect to hear my husband and father-in-law say that they were also preparing to send their sister. I heard that it was not just the Jia family's sister, but many merchants or officials were rushing to send their daughters to their homes."
"What's going on?"
Can you still fight for a concubine?
Shang Liuniang said with regret.
"I only found out about it after my husband let it slip. What they said to the outside world was taking a concubine, but in fact, they reserved a place for a concubine. The concubine of the prince's mansion has a different status. She can be included in the royal book, so naturally the Jia family's sister also wants to fight for it."
Hearing her words, the people in the third room who were originally hesitant could not help it at this moment.
"Really? Concubine?"
"I don't know if it's true or not, but I see my father-in-law and mother-in-law are determined to get it, so I think it won't go wrong."
At this point, even Sanlang and Sanlang's wife, who have always opposed it, were speechless.
If she could really get a concubine, it would be different.
With the current ability of their third room, if Si Niang could really become a concubine of the Prince of Min's mansion, it would be a good thing.
So, the two of them also had a complicated look in their eyes.
Erlang's wife and the third old lady couldn't help but get excited. It was obviously an irrelevant matter, but it made them feel that victory was in sight.
I quickly got up and pulled Shang Liu Niang around to ask.
"Has the Jia family found any way? Can the Jia family's sister really get in?"
