Chapter 640 - 640 - Sister-in-law"Yeah, I always thought that the husband sleeping by the pillow would only marry one of his wives, unlike the others who only had one concubine and another concubine, who would have thought that there would be a woman outside!" Fourth Lady was relatively young, so she naturally spoke rather quickly.
Madame Yu naturally knew that the three sister-in-law must have suddenly come to her courtyard because of Wei Yuanwei. It was just to make a joke out of her.
To put it bluntly, Wei Yuanwei"s appearance was a joyous occasion for them.
That was because in the fourth room, the other three masters all married a few concubines to enter. Only the head of the family was able to take her as his wife.
The resentment that they had suppressed within their hearts for over twenty years could finally be vented today.
Naturally, how could they let go of such a good opportunity to mock and ridicule her?
Madame Yu"s expression did not change, but her indifferent yet imposing gaze became more severe: "I actually hope that the Patriarch can marry and return with a few concubines so that I can have some of your worries. You see, I only have four children, adding that Wei Yuanwei only has five, and in addition to the concubines in your respective rooms, I have at least seven to eight children, right? "Although there is a huge difference in the position of the successor, the position of the Patriarch depends on their abilities. You have a lot of children, so I"m afraid you have a lot of opportunities!"
After Madame Yu said this in an indifferent tone, she raised her eyebrows and took a sip of the tea in the gla.s.s.
You want to see her make a joke? She wanted to see who would make a joke out of who? If their own sons and daughters were surpa.s.sed by the sons and daughters of their concubines, they wouldn"t have any face left.
At most, she would only be Wei Yuanwei, and even if Wei Yuanwei didn"t die, he wouldn"t pose a threat to her.
But they were different!
After the three of them heard this, their faces didn"t look too bad.
Fourth Lady immediately said: "Mistress, don"t be anxious, this is only what you know. Who knows how many women the patriarch raised outside the house, and how many sons and daughters he gave birth to? "Maybe one day you"ll find it again?"
Fourth Lady"s personality was a bit more shrewd and straightforward. Once she finished speaking, the First Madam and the third madame immediately covered her mouth and laughed.
This was the first time Madame Yu was mocked by so many people.
The hand hanging in his sleeve tightly clenched.
Even though Madame Yu was angry in her heart, she had been holding back this entire time: "Fourth Sister-in-law, if there really are that many, then I will be at ease. After all, everyone has their own selfish thoughts, who doesn"t want their own son or daughter to inherit the Patriarch"s position? If this reputation gets out, it would be great! "
After Madame Yu finished speaking, the smiles on everyone"s faces slowly faded.
"Mistress, don"t blame me for speaking too much. Even if the Patriarch raised an outer room and had children, he doesn"t seem to be from an underworld clan right?" "Even if I did, it would be difficult for me to take the test and become the next Patriarch"s successor, right?" The first wife said at this moment.
One had received professional training from a young age, while the other had learned it on the way. How could these two be compared?
The first wife of the Madame Yu said. "Then sister-in-law doesn"t know, you are holding a Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl in your hands, how else do you think she could open the vortex door during the ceremony and come to the underworld clan safely?"
Everyone from the underworld clans knew that on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, the vortex gate was sealed shut, and no one could open it.
But that day, Wei Yuanwei not only opened it, but also came to the underworld clan safe and sound.
One of the big reasons was naturally the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl!
Hearing that, the three of them looked at each other, the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl should be at the patriarch"s place right? And why was she at Wei Yuanwei"s place?
If this Wei Yuanwei were to take the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl to partic.i.p.ate in the Patriarch"s Heir a.s.sessment, she would definitely be ranked in the top three safely.
"This... How is that possible? Could it be that all these years, the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl are not even in the hands of the Patriarch? " third madame seemed to be stunned for a long time before she finally said those words.
"Otherwise, why did the Jade Clan decline time and time again for over ten years? It"s all because the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl was left by the Patriarch in the outside world!" Madame Yu"s tone was very calm, as if she was very open about this matter.
"Don"t tell me the Patriarch is crazy? And actually gave the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl to the girl in the outer room. What if it fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, or even the people of the four countries? " The first wife directly jumped up from her seat.
He seemed very angry.
"That"s right. Ever since second brother took the position of Patriarch, not only did the Jade Clan not prosper day by day, it had instead declined time and time again. I"m afraid that within a few years, this Jade Clan will no longer exist!" third madame also stood up from her seat.
However, the Madame Yu still maintained a calm face, "Eldest sister-in-law and sister-in-law, isn"t this Wei Yuanwei already back? Furthermore, the fact that the Patriarch was able to let the Jade Clan endure for more than ten years without any Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl is not something that anyone can do! "
After the three of them heard this, although their expressions were still ugly, they had nothing to say.
"Then right now, the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl cannot fall into the hands of the female in the outer room. Mistress, you have to take care of this matter!" third madame said with a bad expression.
Madame Yu sneered in her heart. She finally knew that she was the mistress?
"If it"s the backyard, then I"ll take care of it. But since Wei Yuanwei came back, she"s always been quiet, so how am I supposed to take care of it?"
"Get him to hand over the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl. Without the Spirit Bead, she can"t stay in Jade Clan anymore. You can also take care of yourself, Mistress!" The third madame spoke truthfully.
Madame Yu rolled her eyes in her heart, these people were all thinking about him.
If she really did that, the first person the Patriarch would not forgive after he returned would be her.
"That won"t do, Wei Yuanwei forcefully opened the vortex gate during the sacrificial ceremony, and took all of the blame. Furthermore, at that time, the Patriarch did not take the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl back from Wei Yuanwei, which means the Patriarch did not plan to take the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl back, and that means the Patriarch might not even want Wei Yuanwei to become the successor!" Madame Yu"s gaze swept across the three of them once again.
When the three of them heard this, they clearly became anxious.
What a joke! Their children had to spend a lot of time and effort every year in order to take the Patriarch"s successor test. Even their sister-in-law would fight openly and secretly.
Who wouldn"t want to be the next matriarch!
How could they just sit by and watch as the heir to the family head position was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by a woman from the other room!
"Mistress, you speak quite easily. Could it be that you"re willing to let a girl from the outer chamber sit in the position of the Patriarch"s successor?" The First Lady spoke first.
They should be on the same side by now.
