Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 364 Envy and Jealousy
Zhao Lin saw that Jiang Wanning was so busy, so she decided not to disturb her and returned the number plate to Ah Ruan.

"Tell your boss that Zhao Lin is here. When she is free, we can arrange a place to have a cup of tea together."

Jiang Wan Ning was so busy that she couldn't take a breath until Dr. Tao came back.

Give up your position to Dr. Tao.

"Dr. Tao, Dr. Lin and I are busy these days. Please work harder."

Doctor Tao laughed and said, "It doesn't matter."

Working here is a bit busy, but he is respected and the wages are higher than elsewhere, so he is still very satisfied.

Just as Jiang Wan Ning was about to leave, Ah Ruan came to report: "Ms. Jiang, Madam Zhao Lin came here earlier and said that when you are free, we would make an appointment for a cup of tea."

Jiang Wanning frowned, Zhao Lin?
Suddenly I remembered, isn't Zhao Lin Gu Zhouting's seventh aunt? The second husband's family name was Zhao.

Gu Zhouting specially invited people from Yuzhou.

Oh, damn it, Gu Zhouting told her a few days ago that her seventh aunt was coming to see her, but when her father came, she forgot about it.

"Is she unhappy?"

Ah Ruan said: "No, that lady is very kind and smiling."

"Is she the only one?"

"I brought a maid."

Jiang Wan Ning nodded: "I understand."

After getting on the carriage, Jiang Wanning ordered: "Xiao Pan, go to Xiangyufang."

On the way, Xiao Pan reported back that Liu Wenbin's illness was caused by depression in his heart and he just needed to take good care of himself. Yan Hui refused to take the one hundred taels at first, saying it was a loan, so they accepted it.

When they arrived at Xiangyufang, they didn't expect that Shang Yu, Yang Ting and Wang Qirou were all there.

"Sister A Ning, we just asked about you. Grandma Wang said that your father and brother came from Ningchuan to see you." Yang Ting said.

"Well, the whole family came to see me because of my third brother's marriage."

"Your third brother is getting married? Who is the girl?" Shang Yu asked curiously.

"Dr. Lin from Sanxitang."

Yang Ting joked: "Does this count as Jingshui Pavilion, who gets the moon first?"

Jiang Wan Ning smiled: "Forget it. By the way, why did you get together today?"

Shang Yu said: "Sister Qirou went to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to congratulate her. It happened that my brother also went to congratulate him, and he met Yang Ting and her brother. However, Prince Zhaoyang was not in the house, and my brother and the others went back. We Third, just say come to Xiangyufang and have a look."

"Zhaoyang should go to Shangguan's cemetery now, and the young prince will go with him."

"How do you know?" Yang Ting asked.

"Of course I know. We went to see the rankings together this morning."

Wang Qirou smiled slightly: "This is great news. We should inform the Marquis as soon as possible. The Marquis and his brother have spirits underground, and they will definitely be very happy."

"So that's it. Prince Zhaoyang has done something good for Shangguan this time. The gates of Zhenbei Hou Mansion are blocked by people coming to congratulate him," Yang Ting said.

Shang Yu sneered lightly: "Seeing that people have become promising, they all go up to the pole to fawn over them. Why haven't I seen them take care of them before?"

Shang Yu is qualified to ridicule him. After the Battle of Gubei, Shangguan Zhaoyang became an orphan, and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was neglected. Only Ji Yunchen, Gu Zhouting, and the Duke of Rongguo cared about Zhaoyang. Apart from them, Who else?
Wang Qiju said: "It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to deliver charcoal when the time is right. The world is so hot and cold, that's how it is."

Yes, that's how things are in the world, it's all in the past, anyway, the Shangguan family will get better and better in the future. Jiang Wanning said sorry, went to pick out some incense, packed it in a gift box, and wrote a post asking Xiao Pan to send it to Gu Mansion and give it to Zhao Lin before coming to talk to the sisters.

Zhao Lin received the gift box and the post and smiled after reading it. "Who sent it?" Gu Lin was curious. Seventh Sister had no acquaintances in the capital.

"Lady Ginger."

"She gave you a gift?"

"Yes, there are several new fragrances released by Xiangyufang. I heard that Xiangyufang's fragrances are expensive." Zhao Lin took out a small porcelain bottle, opened it and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

"This fragrance smells great, elegant and long-lasting, like an orchid in an empty valley. Smell it and see."

Gu Lin said angrily: "What smells good? I don't like to use incense."

Gu Lin was jealous and only gave gifts to Qimei. Was this an indirect expression of dissatisfaction with her?
"You really don't like it?"

"do not like."

"Very good, then these two gifts belong to me. Madam Jiang also said that each of us should have one."

"What? Two servings?"

Zhao Lin teased: "Do you think he doesn't understand etiquette or is just a petty person?"

"Give me my share."

"Don't you like it?"

"It's one thing if you don't like it. What you give to me is mine." Gu Lin took the porcelain bottle from Qimei's hand. After sniffing it, it smelled really good, better than the incense made in the palace.

"She also asked me to have tea with her tomorrow. Will you go?"

"If she doesn't go, why did she ask you out? Didn't she say she didn't like Zhou Ding? Why did she get up on the pole to flatter you again?" Gu Lin asked in a strange way.

Mrs. Zhao Lin chuckled: "Do you think she wants to curry favor with us by giving us two gifts? You are overthinking it. It was me who invited her first, and then she sent a post to invite me to tea to save her face."

"Oh, I have to go back and pick out a decent gift for my future niece-in-law." Zhao Lin took her gift and left happily.

Gu Lin was left sighing.

She is obviously a serious mother-in-law, but now she has to pass on the gifts to others.

Thinking about it carefully, there was no conflict between her and Jiang Wan Ning. Jiang Wan Ning pulled away so quickly that she didn't even have enough resentment in her heart. It was like she was already brewing a fight between the two. No matter what move she made, she turned around and left, and gave reasons why there was no need to fight, making her look like an unreasonable shrew, as ugly as she could be.

It was this embarrassment that made her feel like there was a thorn in her heart and she wanted to pull it out. She didn't know where to start.

"Madam, how about you go tomorrow too?" Baoqin asked.

No one understands the lady's thoughts better than her.

The madam was already convinced, but she just couldn't bear to look like this.

I have never seen a daughter-in-law please her mother-in-law, but I have never seen a mother-in-law please her daughter-in-law.

"What should I do?" Gu Lin said gloomily, "Maybe they won't welcome me."

"Madam, how come Madam Jiang doesn't welcome Madam? It's not a shame for Madam to go. Your husband likes her so much, why don't you have more contact with her and get to know her better? You should go and investigate her."

"If she is really disrespectful to you, then she is wrong. There is no reason why Mr. Lang wants to protect her? However, I think Madam Jiang is not that kind of person."

Gu Lin thought about it and realized that what Bao Qin said made sense.

Jiang Wan Ning will become the Gu family's daughter-in-law in the future. As a mother-in-law, she should check her out and see that there is nothing wrong with her. However, she still couldn't go with Qimei, and had to find other ways to go.

"Baoqin, go to Qi Yiniang's place to find out where and when they will meet tomorrow."

Baoqin smiled and said, "My slave, I'll go right now."
