Chapter 421: Chapter 413: The Reason

Mrs. Dong raised her hand, Aunt Lv watched from the side feeling distressed, yet dared not speak out to stop her, knowing that speaking out would only provoke Mrs. Dong further instead of calming her down, making her lash out more.

“Are you still refusing to admit your mistakes? This is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless temptress, seducing men, and then standing here claiming innocence. Sister Hui has treated you well on ordinary days, indeed it’s your luck to have seduced him, are you worthy of Sister Hui’s kindness towards you? For someone as ungrateful as you should be sent to the manor; don’t think that just because I’m the Madam in this mansion that my word doesn’t hold, dealing with a concubine’s daughter like you is quite easy.” Mrs. Dong clearly understood why Sister Jian dared to act like this in front of her, of course, it’s because she has been losing her status in the mansion recently.

Now Sister Jian dares to do such things, isn’t it because she thinks she has no status left, so she even dares to snatch her daughter’s marriage?

As soon as she thinks of these reasons, Mrs. Dong doesn’t just hate Sister Jian in front of her, she also hates Lin Youning from the East Mansion. Her current situation has become like this all because of Lin Youning’s harm, who grew up in the Marquis Mansion, and whom she treated well since childhood, yet she didn’t expect Lin Youning to set her heart on her man.

Now the Marquis has been taken by her, making her lose respect in the mansion, even her daughter’s marriage being challenged by a concubine’s daughter.

Every time Mrs. Dong thinks of these things, she can’t sleep at night; today, learning that Sister Jian, a concubine’s daughter, dares to challenge her daughter’s marriage, with the opponent being her own nephew infuriates her.

“If mother imposes such charges upon her daughter, the daughter has no choice. After all, it was the cousin who acted first, the daughter didn’t expect him to do such a thing, thus she has nothing more to say. As for Sister Hui, the daughter admits that Sister Hui treated her well over the years, but Sister Hui did it for her own status. Whether Sister Hui sincerely treated her well or found her useful, only Sister Hui knows. The daughter just faces Mrs. Dong without retreat, “Mother now is angry with her daughter, fine. You can send your daughter to the manor, she won’t have complaints for a lifetime, but at the Zhou Mansion, the cousin already promised to account for her daughter. Initially, the daughter wanted to consider this incident nonexistent, but now that mother is so aggressive, the daughter also wants an account.”

“Hearing you speak like this, you’re suggesting I forced you to be together with the cousin.” Sister Hui should see you to understand whether she indeed raised a thankless wolf all these years.” Angry, Mrs. Dong slapped Sister Jian a few more times, but still felt it wasn’t enough, “You want the Dong Mansion to account for you, I think before they do, it’s better for you to fall seriously ill.”

“Madam, please spare Sister Jian, this girl is indeed ignorant, she truly knows her mistake this time, and as for the Dong Mansion’s account, Sister Jian won’t want it.” Aunt Lv hurriedly pleaded beside Mrs. Dong upon hearing her words.

Mrs. Dong pointed at Aunt Lv accusing, “These years, you had no decorum in front of me, I didn’t mind it, thinking of you as my welfare from the celebration, we’re half-sisters, so I tolerated it. But now you see, allowing your daughter to snatch my daughter’s marriage, how could you do such a thing? Are you worthy of my mindfulness towards you all these years? If it hadn’t been for me bringing you into the mansion, today you might still be struggling with hunger and cold, just like your daughter, an ungrateful thing.” Now that your daughter wants the Dong Mansion to account, I want to see what kind of account they will provide to your daughter.”

Whenever Mrs. Dong thought of these matters, she felt like tearing apart the two people in front of her!

All these years Aunt Lv never had any decorum in her presence, always closing one eye; now seeing clearly, it was her tolerance that has made Aunt Lv mother-daughter pair increasingly impudent, daring to act like this.

The Dong Mansion being her maiden home, since Sister Jian harbors intentions to seduce Side, she wants to see how the Dong Mansion will handle it.

“Aunt need not plead to mother, this is the daughter’s fate. Who could foresee attending a banquet at the Zhou Mansion would lead to this? The cousin dared to act this way towards the daughter showing he doesn’t respect her identity, only seeing Gu Mansion daughters as easy targets.” Sister Jian stood there, with both sides of her face swollen, looking rather bedraggled.

It wasn’t speaking that was okay, but opening mouth stirred Mrs. Dong’s anger, turning around she again slapped Sister Jian harshly before stopping.

Mrs. Gu Sr. happened to see this upon entering, watching in disbelief towards Mrs. Dong, “I didn’t know you treat concubine’s daughters like this on ordinary days.”

Mrs. Dong feared no criticism from the old madam and spoke indignantly, “The old madam only knows to blame me, but does she know what this mother-daughter pair did? The shameless girl went to the Zhou Mansion seduced her brother-in-law. Who knows how people in the Capital gossip now? I called her over to ask about it, she didn’t admit, pushing the blame at them, stating it’s the other side seducing her.”

Despite Mrs. Dong’s hasty words, Mrs. Gu Sr. comprehended and looked at Sister Jian, “Are your mother’s words true?”

Mrs. Gu Sr. came here to settle accounts with Mrs. Dong, didn’t expect to witness this, thus leading to discovering such incidents.

Sister Jian nodded, “Granddaughter didn’t seduce the cousin, it’s the cousin suddenly reached out touching granddaughter’s face.”

Mrs. Gu Sr. observed Sister Jian, “It’s wrong for him to touch you, but you could have avoided it, did you just stand there allowing it?”

Sister Jian remained silent.

Someone previously insistent without mistakes now stayed silent not knowing how to argue.

“Alright then, this is how the Gu Family raises descendants, look what you’ve done. I know you’re anxious about your marriage; considering it you’re not too old, such things shouldn’t rush, slowly you’ll find a good match. Who would expect you’d seduce your brother-in-law now? This issue I won’t interfere, let your mother handle you.” Mrs. Gu Sr. unsure what else could be said, glanced at Mrs. Dong, “Send a note to the Dong Mansion’s old madam asking her to come to the mansion.”
