Chapter 46 Let her kneel in the ancestral hall for a night
In the main hall of Zhengde Hall, everyone sat down.

Wu Jianzhi sat on the main seat and glanced at Madam.

He said he wanted to personally intervene in the matter, but in fact, it was mainly Niu who did the talking. Even if he occasionally interjected, it was mostly to make jokes.

Mr. Niu sat on the right side of Wu Jianzhi, his hand wearing a jade ring tightly knocking on the coffee table.

Below, Mei Jiaolan has freshened up and is sitting quietly on the second chair on the right. Above her is Wei Shufang, and below her is Aunt Wan.Wu Moyun sat alone on the chair on the left.

Niu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he became angry when he saw Mei Jiaolan's calm and composed look.

In the afternoon, Yunxiu, who had been the front-runner for her daughter, hurried back home and brought back some unexpected news.

Na Yunxiu said that the six dowry carts that Mei Jiaolan brought with her when she entered the Wu Mansion for the second time were all genuine rare treasures.Those that can be discounted are worth twenty-six thousand taels. Those that cannot be discounted are all priceless treasures.Luminous pearls from the East China Sea, carnelian from the Western Regions, gold-threaded clothes from the South, woolen felt from the North, all over the world, seas and clouds, all kinds of treasures can be found in Mei Guerlain's dowry.

Mrs. Niu heard what Yunxiu said was so exciting, and knew that it came from the second wife of Mei Mansion. She was a little skeptical at first, but after nightfall, the Qingyun Pavilion suddenly sent a girl to deliver some cloth.

When Niu got it, he saw that it was Suzhou's famous woven Shuiyun yarn worth ten gold per foot!
This time, she had to believe it even if she didn’t want to believe it!
This Shuiyun gauze, which is more expensive than gold, didn't come from her dowry. Where did it come from?
At that moment, her anger surged up, and she kicked Yingchun out without even asking.

She was so jealous.

How come the legitimate son he gave birth to can only marry a girl from a small family, while the son-in-law who was born from a lowly maid was able to marry a daughter of a noble family and was so lucky that he got so much for nothing? dowry!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Suddenly she looked at the Su Jin in her hand and was stunned for a moment.

The pattern on it is... epiphyllum?
This glance made her find the reason for the attack. She immediately insisted that the third daughter-in-law was deliberately cursing her, regardless of whether the embroidery on it was really Epiphyllum!
Yingchun had already walked out of the hospital, but was pulled back again, beaten and scolded in front of Mr. Niu, and told that he would be severely punished. This led to the farce that followed.

"Master." Mr. Niu had another fit before turning to look at Wu Jianzhi, "I know why you came here in the middle of the night. It was just because you were afraid that the scandal of your daughter-in-law cursing her mother-in-law would spread, which would ruin the reputation of our Wu family. . As for my concubine, after being married to the master for so many years, I have always put the overall situation first, putting the master and the old lady first, and tonight will be no exception. I, I’d better bear it, who told us to be too high-minded? The Mei family is marrying someone else’s precious daughter. A poor mother-in-law can’t compete with a rich daughter-in-law. This is my fate.”

Niu's mouth opened and closed, and when he uttered such words, it made it difficult for people to speak.

Wu Jianzhi originally didn't want to care about the things here. He just wanted to stay away from the mess in the back house.He is a person who only comes to the back house to hang out when he thinks of the gentle countryside. Normally, it is difficult for him to take a step forward.

Today, he agreed to come because Wu Moyun begged him.

However, after being here for so long, he still couldn't figure out how to deal with it properly.

Now Mr. Niu put a high hat on him, and he couldn't take it off.

"This, this..." Wu Jianzhi said this for a long time, his eyes sweeping from Wu Moyun to Mei Jiaolan, and then back to the piece of su brocade held in the girl's hand.

"After all, isn't it because of that piece of rag? Wouldn't it be over if you burn it?" Wu Jianzhi snorted. "Burn it?" Aunt Wan below said angrily, "Master, you can't do this to your wife. The curse comes from the human heart. If you burn something, does the curse cease to exist?"

When Wu Jianzhi faced his concubine, he felt a little bolder and patted the table twice, "Are you so sure that the epiphyllum embroidered on it is not... chrysanthemums or morning glory?"

Mr. Niu glared at him angrily, "Isn't it true that Master will know it just by seeing it himself?"

"Okay, let me take a look!" Wu Jianzhi impatiently asked Yunxiu to bring the cloth over.

At first glance, it does look like an epiphyllum.

"This..." Wu Jianzhi rolled his eyes, went to Mei Jiaolan and asked, "From the third family, you can see for yourself what kind of flower this is. You are young and have little knowledge, especially if you don't recognize the epiphyllum and mistake it for other flowers. Are you ready?"

When Mrs. Niu heard that Wu Jianzhi actually wanted to excuse the little bitch, she was so angry that she slammed the table, "Sir, of course Mrs. Mei will say it's not a night-blooming cereus. She did it, how could she admit it!"

Mei Jielan looked at the small coffee table opposite and said with a sneer: "I know Epiphyllum, and the embroidery on the cloth is not Epiphyllum. But my wife also admits that she cannot prove herself."

For a moment, things were deadlocked.

Aunt Wan always hoped that something like a snipe and a clam fighting over each other would happen to her, and today she got it.

She first glanced at Wei Shufang, who was one seat away, and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so she spoke: "Hey, speaking of it, this matter is neither small nor big. Madam I am magnanimous and considerate of the younger generation. Since Grandma Lan is the first offender and it was unintentional, why not just give her a small warning and let her kneel in the ancestral hall for a night!"

As soon as these words came out, Camellia was the first to come out to protect the Lord, "Nonsense, our grandma has done nothing wrong, why should she kneel in the ancestral hall? You should kneel down if you want to. If you talk too much, be careful of getting boils on your tongue!"

"You!" Aunt Wan fell backwards in anger, turned around and went to find Wu Jianzhi, "Master, look at her..."

"Okay, okay, just be calm. Do you have a role to speak here?" Wu Jianzhi laughed and asked Aunt Wan to sit back.

That Camellia was the Mei family's dowry maid and a member of Lao San's house. Even if she hadn't taken over the house yet, she still had a considerable status.And Aunt Wan is just a slave born into the family, so who is more noble than whom?

Mei Jiaolan looked up and looked around. Seeing that the atmosphere was silent again, she thought to herself that everyone was waiting for her to give in.

Thinking that he had just arrived in Mei Mansion a few days ago, his foundation was unstable and he was not yet ready for a big war.But tonight, Master Wu came like a Maitreya Buddha, objectively saving her and Yingchun, and minimizing the serious matter. If she didn't express anything, she would be a bit ignorant.

So, why not give in a little bit to save face by betraying your father-in-law?
