1512 Understanding 2
The Old Master was confused.
Madame Min continued. “You did not notice anything – when the Phoenix Girl vented her anger just now, she was not venting it on us alone. She did not even care about Gu Zhenkang! You think your children would speak to you like this?”
“…”
“The girl’s mother pa.s.sed away when she was little and she had been mistreated all these years by Mrs. Gu and Gu Zhenkang. And she is the Phoenix Girl now, and she is living at the Gu Mansion, but what on earth is she thinking, do you know?”
!!
“…”
“Judging from how she treats the Gu Family, she is not taking their side. We have been making mistakes since she treated me. And we even forced Zhu Xun to leave! We need to be very careful, and we should not make any more mistakes. Although Ling has gotten the imperial order to get married, the King doesn’t have much time to care about this. So we need to think about this marital arrangement. We should not continue to make any more mistakes,” Madame Min said cautiously.
Having said that, she could not help but sigh.
What was going on here? They needed to work on it again.
Hearing that, Old Master glared at First Ms. Min, saying in displeasure. “You have made a mistake too. Why did you pick on Zhu Xun?”
“…”
“Her husband pa.s.sed away ages ago and Zhu Xun doesn’t even have a son. No one is stealing your position here. You drove her away and now everything is in a mess.”
“…”
“If she is here, mother would not need to bend down to a girl out there!” The Old Master vented his anger.
He was not cursing, but he also made a very serious accusation.
First Ms. Min’s eyes widened. “What do you mean, Old Master?”
She had been doing all of this for the Min Mansion and the whole family.
Now… the Old Master was defending Zhu Xun against her? And she was even addressed as Zhu Xun?
So she was worse than Zhu Xun in the end?
First Ms. Min expression twisted. She was used to being considered kind and virtuous, so she felt very wronged, even though she was not snapped at loudly.
“Mother has never done anything to her. She left because she was angry. And she has done nothing for the Min Family. She has to be asked to eat at our place. How can you blame mother for this?” Min Qing stepped forward.
“Also, the Phoenix Girl is just a narrow-minded person who easily holds a grudge against people. And she even picks on her sister! Why should we flatter her? I think we can have the wedding directly and we don’t need to have her at present.” Min Qing snapped angrily.
He had not wanted to say that, but his father had blamed his mother and he was just defending her.
Madame Min got startled and covered up his mouth, with her eyes wide in fright. “Qing, what are you talking about? How can you say something like that about the Phoenix Girl? Don’t say such a thing in the future!”
Min Qing did not think he was wrong.
He got himself away from Madame Min.
