Chapter 353: Next Time She Comes, She Will Turn This Place Upside Down (II)

Translator: Ning LL

‘Minglan is not related to my mother indeed, but she’s still a sibling of mine and my brother’s and sister’s. Will that Kang Zhao’er be closer to us than Minglan? No way. Alas, I hope this thing wouldn’t keep Minglan and us apart. I have to explain to her when I have time.’ Hualan thought, feeling her mouth dry. If Wang shi wasn’t her blood mother, she wouldn’t bother explaining such a simple reason.

“You aunt did have made a mistake. Gosh, there’s something you don’t know. My sister and I are in the same situation now.” Wang shi seemed convinced and gradually stopped crying, “You eldest brother left home. You and Rulan both need to attend your own families. I can never suit my conversation with your dad and Old Madam. Also, Liu shi, that new arriver of this family, is not easy to deal with. I… I really have no one to talk to now!”

Hualan knew that Wang shi became strangely grumpy these days. Not only did she refuse to listen to her own daughter’s words, she also abused others from time to time. Aunt Kang was the only one who shared the same taste with Wang shi and cursed with the latter together, which made Wang shi feel pleasant. Hualan, wearied, could only say, “Mother, if you feel bored, you can tell me to come. Don’t meet my aunt again.” Her condition in the Yuan family is much better than before and she could leave freely.

Hearing those words, Wang shi jumped up at once and scolded Hualan with her eyes widely open, “You heartless girl, where have you been a few days ago? I ordered someone to invite you, the people of the Yuan family all said that you were not there and none of them knew where you were.”

Hualan gave a little start and then smiled reluctantly, “I… I have bought an estate before, so I went check it with your son-in-law.”

“Haven’t you already lived there for a few days last time? Why haven’t you finished the decoration yet?” Wang shi said with a discontent voice.

“… it is so hot in the capital… Shi doesn’t feel well, so we brought him to the estate to avoid the heat.” Hualan explained with her face totally red.

Wang shi got suspicious at once and said with a sharp voice, “So you all went to the summer resort, why are you blushing?”

Hualan faltered and couldn’t give a clear answer. This gave Wang shi a feeling that her daughter was distancing her. Then Wang shi abused Hualan angrily. The latter could only said with a soft voice, “Your son-in-law… got a pony lately… he said that it was good for my health to do the sport, so he taught me to ride horse…” She uttered these few words with an affectionate voice--- Well, her mother was suffering now, it was hard for her to say that all her hardships had come to an end and that she and her husband were more and more attached to each other. Right now, Hualan and her husband were deep in love and they were even closer than they had been when they had just got married.

Wang shi wasn’t blind anyway. Though she hadn’t witnessed the situation, she could detect that her daughter and son-in-law must be very intimate to each other as she saw Hualan looking several years younger than her actual age with her bright eyes, glossy skin and radiant face.

Wang shi felt happy for her daughter for a while, but then she suddenly felt an inexplicable anger rushing to her brain. It suddenly occurred to her that everyone was living a great life now except for herself who was in deep depression. She felt that no one in this family truly understood her and cursed immediately, “They all said that raising a daughter will only lose money. Now I understand! Now that you live a comfortable life, you don’t care if your mother is dead or alive anymore!”

Wang shi’s face was sprayed with Wang shi’s spit, but she still had to keep her temper and coax the latter since Wang shi was her blood mother.

“Just tell me, is your husband more important than your mother?”

“Of course you are more important. You gave birth to me and raised me up. You means a lot to me.”

“All right! You have to stay here today and live with me for a few days. Do you agree or not?”

“…”

“I knew that my children were all cruel ones!” Wang shi cried loudly, “I am just a miserable woman who has no one’s support…”

“Fine, I’ll go back to ask first… let me check your leg. Oh my, they turned red. Does it hurt? Gosh, I’ll apply some unguent on your legs. I hope it’s nothing serious…”

--- How to change the subject naturally and smoothly? That was something Hualan need to learn.

Her sister Minglan was also suffering now. The thing that Minglan needed to learn was called ‘pretending’. After Mama Fang had sent the message to her, she acknowledged that the longer the fact that Kang Zhao’er was no longer in the Sheng’s mansion stayed hidden, the better. Luckily, House of Auspiciousness was guarded strictly and only a few people knew about the truth. Xiaotao volunteered to serve Lady Kang who was ‘locked in the back room’. She would inquire about Kang Zhao’er’s condition outside the latter’s room first and then brought the food box into the room. After that, she would eat all the food inside and smashed a few plates to put on an act. Right at this moment, Lvzhi who heard the sound would come out and gave out a few sarcastic comments. The wisdom and efforts of everyone proved to be useful to deceive others.

In order to have a good rest and not to give the show away, every time Old Madam Qin came over with that hypocritical face, Minglan would claim that she didn’t feel well and refused to meet Old Madam Qin since this was going to get ugly eventually anyway. Meanwhile, Minglan also pretended to be sad in front of Zhu shi and Zhao shi. As a result, everyone in the mansion felt that Minglan truly was irritated.

Aunt Kang had been counting days. After two days, she went to the Cheng Manor to make a scene, crying for meeting Zhao’er. Minglan didn’t bother to deal with this mad dog and declined Aunt Kang directly. Old Madam Qin then brought some people over. After that, Minglan sent some people to stop them at the inner gate that between the Cheng Manor and the former Marquis Ningyuan’s mansion. Aunt Kang got furious and threatened to make a big deal out of this. Then Liao Yong’s wife said, “Please.” Minglan snorted, waiting to see how the Madam of the Kang family make a scene in front of everyone in the capital.

Since Aunt Kang’s first plan failed, she could only scare Minglan with her words, saying that Minglan had forbidden them to meet Kang Zhao’er because something bad might have happened to the latter. Liao Yong’s wife said coldly with a disdainful look on her face, “That’s right. Our Madam has already burn Lady Kang’s corpse. Please sue us to the provincial governor of Shuntian. If that’s still not enough for you, you can strike the Heaven Bell and sue us to the imperial court! If you don’t know the way, I’ll tell the porter to prepare the coach and horse for you.”

After saying that, Liao Yong’s wife turned around and left at once, leaving a group of strong servants standing in the way.
