Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 451: Madam Wang with a weird mindset
"Aunt Kang really overestimates the official. Although he has the merit of delivering the blood edict, the emperor has already rewarded him. How could he have the face to arrange a job for cousin Kang Jin?" Minglan shook her head.

"Isn't your husband familiar with Lord Hai? Even if it's difficult to find Prince Huan and the others, asking Lord Hai for help will be a piece of cake for him, right?" said Queen Kang.

"Aunt, you really went to the wrong Taoist temple to worship Buddha. No matter how close my husband is to Mr. Hai, can they be as close as my second brother to Mr. Hai? Mr. Hai and my second brother are father-in-law and son-in-law, and you and the eldest lady are sisters. Why don't you go to the Sheng family to find the eldest lady?" Minglan said with a smile.

Even though King Kang was thick-skinned, she still felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

It's not that she didn't want to ask Madam Wang for help, but she was just too embarrassed to go.

After all, Rulan was originally going to marry into the Wang family, but was snatched away by her in the end.

"Sixth Miss, I just wanted to avoid bothering my sister with such a small matter. This matter is not difficult for your husband. You can talk to your husband and ask him for help. Even if it fails, I won't blame him." Mrs. Kang smiled.

"I'm really sorry, I can't help you." Minglan said lightly.

She had to reject Kang Wangshi and others outright, and not let her see any hope. If she followed Kang Wangshi's words and said she would talk to Li An, then Kang Wangshi would become a dog-skin plaster.

"We are all family, and you are not willing to help with this little favor?" Mrs. Kang's face darkened.

She never took Minglan, a concubine's daughter, seriously.

Princess Kang thought she had been humble enough, but she didn't expect Minglan to be so disrespectful to her.

"Aunt, let me be frank, but you are not my biological aunt. I am already giving you enough face by letting you in and calling you aunt. I might be scolded by my grandmother when I return to my parents' home because of this." Minglan said lightly.

Mrs. Kang Wang came to the door early in the morning without even sending a visiting card in advance.

He clearly needs help from others, but he comes empty-handed and doesn't even mention it. Instead, he acts like a senior when we meet.

He really thought she was someone who could be manipulated at will.

“䱱…”

Kang Wang stood up angrily, pointed at Minglan and said, "Good, very good, now you think you have climbed up the social ladder, and your relatives from your mother's side look down on you."

"Aunt, that's serious. What kind of relative are you?"

Seeing that the relationship had been broken, Minglan decided not to show any mercy.

"What? Are you not going to acknowledge even such a relative as the Sheng family?" Queen Kang sneered.

"The Sheng family is my mother's family, so I will naturally recognize them." Minglan said lightly.

"Hmph!" Queen Kang snorted coldly and walked away.

"Madam, this aunt from the Kang family is very good at gossiping. If you don't give her any face, she might go to the Sheng family to find you and say bad things about you. How about I go back and tell the old lady?" Mother Cui said worriedly.

"No need. If grandma knew, she would definitely scold the eldest lady. Now the relationship between the eldest lady and grandma has eased a lot. We can't let something that hasn't happened yet affect the relationship between grandma and the eldest lady." Minglan shook her head.

After Lin Xiaoniang died, the relationship between Madam Wang and Old Lady Sheng became much better than before.

Minglan didn't want their relationship to become strained again because of her.

……

"Bah, a concubine's daughter is just lucky, but she really thinks she is a big shot."

Queen Kang spat at the Li family’s gate and got on the carriage cursing.

"Go to Sheng's house."

How could Princess Kang swallow such humiliation by Minglan, a concubine's daughter?

……

"Madam, Aunt Kang is here." Mother Liu said as she walked into the room.

"What is she doing here?" Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard this.

"He said he came to apologize, but I think it's not that simple. It's better not to meet him," said Mother Liu.

Since coming to Bian Jing, Madam Wang has been cheated by Wang Kang many times.

Although Mother Liu didn't know what Mrs. Kang was planning, she knew that the apology Mrs. Kang mentioned was definitely not that simple, otherwise why didn't she come to apologize after such a long time.

"Let her in. My sister has been very stubborn since she was a child, relying on her mother's love. She has never apologized to anyone. I want to see how she apologizes." Madam Wang said with a smile.

"Madam, forget it. The old lady doesn't like Aunt Kang. If she knew, she would be angry again." Mother Liu reminded.

"She's angry if she wants to. She scolded me in front of the younger generation yesterday. How could she save my face?"

It would have been fine if Mother Liu didn't mention this, but when she did, Mrs. Wang became even angrier.

The incident started because Madam Wang selected two beautiful maids and sent them to Sheng Changbai's room two days ago.

The purpose is self-evident. Since the Hai family does not allow concubines, it is okay for me to put someone in my son's room.

In the past, Madam Wang had to raise Rulan, and she also had to compete with Madam Lin.

Now, my son is married and my daughters are also married.

The biggest rival, Lin Xiaoniang, also died.

Mrs. Wang became idle.

Of course, she wanted to put someone in Sheng Changbai's room, not to make trouble. It can only be said that Madam Wang's way of thinking is different from others.

After her two daughters got married, Madam Wang focused her attention on Sheng Changbai.

After Sheng Changbai became an official, he usually had to go to work, and during his days off he would stay in the study and read.

Relatively speaking, the communication with my mother, Mrs. Wang, has become less.

But Madam Wang didn't think so. Seeing that Sheng Changbai and Mrs. Hai were getting along well with each other, she felt that the mother and son had less communication and it was all because Mrs. Hai had bewitched her son.

Madam Wang had never liked Hai in the first place, and now she felt that Hai had snatched her son away, which made her even more unhappy.

So they selected two beautiful maids and sent them to Sheng Changbai.

Doing so would not only cause trouble for the Hai family, but also allow them to win the favor of Sheng Changbai and "win" his son back.

Secondly, there was another purpose. After Lin Xiaoniang died, Sheng Hong took another concubine.

These two maids were pretty, and she saw Sheng Hong often looking at them.

She was worried that Sheng Hong would take these two maids in, so sending them to her son would be like killing three birds with one stone. Just when Madam Wang was feeling smug about her three birds with one stone approach, she was scolded by Madam Sheng when she went to Shou'an Hall to pay her respects in the morning.

Madam Wang had been scolded by Old Madam Sheng many times over the years, but she was not too angry.

But this time, Mrs. Sheng scolded her in front of Hai, which made her feel very embarrassed.

Later, Sheng Hong scolded her again and handed over the housekeeper power to Hai, which made Madam Wang dislike Hai even more.

If Madam Liu hadn't mentioned Old Lady Sheng, Madam Wang might have really listened to the advice and not met Mrs. Kang.

However, when she heard that Old Madam Sheng would be angry, she became determined to meet her.

As soon as Mother Liu said this, she realized she had made a stupid mistake and wanted to slap herself.

However, it was too late to say anything now, and they could only invite Mrs. Kang Wang in.

"Sister, I apologize to you." When Wang Wang saw Madam Wang, she said with tears in her eyes.

Although Madam Wang sometimes has strange ideas and often does stupid things, she has one good point, which is that she is soft-hearted.

Although she was furious when she found out that her sister had snatched away Rulan's marriage, she was not that angry anymore as it had been so long.

Now, seeing my sister's tearful apology, the remaining anger has almost subsided.

"Sister, now you know that I am your sister. You knew that I had already discussed the marriage between Ruolan and You'er with my sister-in-law, but you still came to snatch it away. Why didn't you think of me as your sister at that time?" Madam Wang said sarcastically.

Mrs. Kang was very clear about Madam Wang's temper and personality. Although Madam Wang was ridiculing her, she could still hear that there was not much anger in her tone.

So he wiped his nose and tears and talked about how difficult it was for him.

She said that the reason she snatched the Wang family's marriage offer was that she felt that with the Sheng family's status, it would be easy to find a good one.

But she was different. The Kang family had fallen into poverty and had been relying on her dowry for support all these years.

Given the Kang family's situation, it would be difficult for her daughter to marry into a good family.

When Madam Wang thought of the situation of the Kang family, her heart softened. She sighed and said, "Forget it, it's all over. I don't blame you. It's just that my Ru'er has suffered. She married into a family without any achievements and has to endure the troubles of her mother-in-law all day long."

"What? The Wen family dares to make things difficult for Rulan? What kind of family is the Wen family? Rulan married into the Wen family, which was a great honor for their ancestors. Instead of treating her well, they dare to make Rulan angry?" Queen Kang said with a look of anger.

"That's right. I wanted to go to the Wen family and make some trouble, but the old lady and the husband wouldn't allow it. They also said that I shouldn't have given her a big house as a dowry. I was also worried that Ruolan would suffer." Madam Wang said.

"What does this have to do with my sister? The Wen family treated Rulan this way even though the dowry was generous. If the dowry was less, wouldn't they be even more harsh on her?" said Mrs. Kang.

"Who says it isn't?" Madam Wang said with approval.

It has to be said that Mrs. Kang knows Madam Wang’s character too well.

First he pretended to be pitiful, and then he stood on the same front with Madam Wang.

As the saying goes, honest advice hurts the ear. Mrs. Kang agreed with her, and Mrs. Wang felt like she had found a confidant. She told Mrs. Kang about her recent grievances.

"Sister, as a mother-in-law, what's the big deal about putting a few people in your son's room? But the old lady is your elder. What can you do if she says a few words to you?" Queen Kang fanned the flames.

"I know that, but you have to at least give me some face in front of the younger generation, right?" Madam Wang complained.

"Sister, why are you being so stupid? My wife is at home, and there will be plenty of time to set rules for her in the future." Kang Wang came closer and whispered, "But the Sixth Miss is different. Her husband is very powerful now. He has a good relationship with Prince Huan and Uncle Shen. His official position is much higher than Bai'er. Who knows, the Sheng family may have to rely on her in the future. You have to keep her under control."

"There's no need to worry about Minglan. Although she is close to the old lady, her mother and brother are still there. And she is also close to Hualan, Changbai and Rulan." Madam Wang said.

"My silly sister, you think too simply. She just got married and her mother-in-law is not around, so she became the head of the household. I felt that she had no experience and could not run a good household. So I thought of going to see her and giving her some advice. Who knew that it was already noon and she was still sleeping. I said a few words to her, and do you know what she said?" said Mrs. Kang Wang.

"What did you say?" asked Mrs. Wang.

When she first came in, although Mrs. Sheng didn't make things difficult for her, she was also very cautious.

After Hualan and Rulan got married, they were often bullied by their mothers-in-law.

When he thought about Minglan becoming the head of the household after she got married, without any trouble from her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, and sleeping until noon every day, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"She said that you are only her stepmother, not her biological mother, and you have no right to say anything about her. Why should I act like an elder?" said Wang Kang.

"Did she really say that?" Madam Wang frowned.

"How could I lie to you? That girl has been raised by the old lady since she was a child, and she is very cunning. She looks honest and respectful on the surface, but it is all fake. She is close to Hualan and the others just for you to see. As for her mother and brother, you can't do anything to them with the old lady around. If you don't use some tricks, I'm afraid you won't be able to control her." said Mrs. Kang Wang.

"But she's already married, what can I do?" said Mrs. Wang.

"My silly sister, you know how to put people in Bai'er's room, but you can't put people in her side?" Queen Kang said with some disappointment.

"I put someone in Bai'er's room, but in the final analysis, she's just a servant or a concubine. If I send a few maids over, since Minglan is the head of the household, who knows where she would be sent? I can't send a concubine to my son-in-law, right? If this gets out, people will laugh at her to death." Madam Wang said.

"Of course an ordinary maidservant won't do. I have several concubines, so just pick one and send it over. You can go and tell her that it's normal for her, a lady of the house, to take a concubine. She's still a weak woman, so she won't dare to disobey you.

If she is obedient, we will send her a helper. If she is disobedient, someone can restrain her. She is just average looking, and my concubines are prettier than each other and can please people. "Kang Wang said with a smile.

"Sister, can you guarantee that your concubines will listen to you?" Madam Wang asked doubtfully.

"I'm not as kind-hearted as my sister. Their lives are in my hands. Who dares to disobey me?" Queen Kang sneered.

Madam Wang was somewhat moved when she heard this. Li An seemed to have a bright future, so she naturally hoped that Li An could help Changbai and her two sons-in-law in the future.

Seeing this, Mrs. Kang tried to persuade Mrs. Wang again, and she was convinced and agreed.

The two of them discussed it carefully, and at noon, Madam Wang had people prepare wine and food to entertain Mrs. Kang.

After the meal, the slightly tipsy Kang Wang left the Sheng family.

As soon as Wang Kang left, Madam Liu said anxiously, "Madam, you can't believe Aunt Kang's lies."

When Lady Kang was talking to Madam Wang before, she kept giving Madam Wang some looks.

However, Madam Wang didn't pay any attention at all.

As a servant, she couldn't interrupt her master.

"Sister, what she said makes sense. Why can't we listen to her? I used to think that Minglan was an honest girl, but now it seems that I have been deceived by her. Sister is right. I was really stupid. Who is that old lady? She was so happy to be coaxed by Minglan. That girl is not simple." Madam Wang said.

Mother Liu: "..."
