Chapter 1021: Chapter 1026: Competing in Acting Skills
Let’s not even mention that the Wang Clan was vain, just consider how Tan Zhenghong and his wife had finally shaken off their burdens, how could they possibly seek out trouble again? 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
So when the Wang Clan said she lived here, it definitely was a bluff.
The Wang Clan explained, "That time I just happened to be visiting the temple to pray. Before Duo’er gave birth, I prayed for two peace charms, hoping she and the child would be safe. Unexpectedly, she had twins and I could only give the charms to the children. Later, when someone from the village went to pray, I took the chance to ask for another charm for Duo’er."
Because the journey was far, she stayed overnight at the temple.
By the time she returned, Wang Yun’s family had already left.
However, she and Wang Yun weren’t close, so she didn’t think much of it.
"You surely have good fortune, having given birth to a fine son," Wang Yun complimented, and then introduced, "This is my husband, you can just call him Fu Quan, and this is my son, Brother Jun’er."
The Wang Clan nodded, "Very good, your husband is talented, and the child is clever and quick-witted, I’ve always known you were blessed."
"I’m still young, what fortune could I possibly have?" the Wang Clan said with self-mocking laughter.
She had been married into the Niu Family for eight years now, yet she was still a concubine.
If it weren’t for the desperate effort to save her first pregnancy and the fortunate birth of a son, she wouldn’t have had the chance to turn her situation around.
The Wang Clan laughed, "Being well myself is better than anything else. What else matters? By the way, Duo’er and the child both need rest, you see..."
She didn’t say anything else, but anyone with a bit of self-awareness knew what she meant.
"Auntie, you truly are a good mother-in-law. The Qiao Clan must have accumulated virtues for eight generations!" Wang Yun expressed her envy.
"It’s because I did good deeds in my past life that I met such a good daughter-in-law."
The Wang Clan sincerely said, without a trace of pretense. Initially, she had been very afraid of Qiao Duo’er, but the more they interacted, the closer she wanted to be to her.
Actually, she had never understood what kind of charm Duo’er had.
Wang Yun took the child from Niu Fuquan’s hands, "My Brother Jun’er is also tired, I’ll take him back to the room to sleep."
The Wang Clan rolled her eyes at the backs of the Niu’s family of three, only then beginning to clean up the mess Niu Zi Jun had made.
So what if they lived in Mansion City?
They were still far worse than the Fourth Boss and his wife!
It was only around noon that Qiao Duo’er got up. She had been fussing about all night and didn’t feel refreshed until she had slept through the morning.
"Madam, the Niu family members are here again," Qing Xin reported quietly.
Qiao Duo’er curled her lips, "I’ve already seen them."
Moreover, they seemed to intend to have a heart-to-heart with her. Fortunately, she had already handled Tan Zhenghong.
"Sister-in-law, how is your health?"
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "Almost completely recovered."
"That’s good. I fell ill after worshiping my father and missed the full moon celebration entirely. I truly regret it," the Wang Clan said with feigned concern.
She had been in White Stone Town a few days ago. The reason she didn’t show up was firstly to see Tan Zhenghong’s attitude and secondly to save some gift money.
Business had been bad since the epidemic, and saving a little was still something.
But now she somewhat regretted it, because if she had come, she might have formed connections with influential people.
With connections, anything would be easier to handle.
"We didn’t celebrate the full moon grandly, just invited a few families from the village with good relationships. You and Old Master Niu might not have been used to it," Qiao Duo’er responded dismissively.
When others showed disinterest, she too couldn’t be bothered to invest emotions.
They say life is like a play, and now was the time to compete in acting skills.
This completely dispelled any regret Wang Yun might have felt.
