Chapter 87.3: 合謀

[Collusion / Conspire]

 

 

 

When the little maid went out to reply, Mrs Chen smashed the cup beside her in anger, and after getting out a mouthful of fury, she eased her mood and said towards the old woman, who did not change her color, “Mama, please go to the kitchen and keep an eye on them so that they don’t slacken off.”

 

“Yes madam.” Grandma lowered her head and replied with exceptional respect, then as if she thought of something, she raised her head and asked, “Miss, do you need me to send someone over to get her ready?”

 

Madam Chen lifted her eyelids, no waves in her voice, “No need, since Ling Er doesn’t like it there’s no need for her to come.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Only after Grandma left after a salute did Mrs Chen sneer, “You, Zhao family, don’t give me a face, then our Chen family doesn’t have to climb this high branch.”

 

An hour later, Madam Chen greeted Madam Zhao with a smile on her face.

 

Mrs Zhao got off the carriage, looked at the people who came to greet him, looked around for a while, did not see the person he wanted to see, his eyebrows frowned a little, “Why I do not you see your family’s Ling Er, I came to bring her a gift, but do you dislike me?!”

 

Mrs Chen was a little displeased with Mrs Zhao’s questioning words, but thinking that she was still undecided on whether or not to marry her daughter off, and that it was not a good idea to make the relationship too rigid, she still managed to hold back the irritation in her heart and smiled as she opened her mouth.

 

“What is this? Mrs Zhao, you really can joke, it’s just my daughter’s greedy mouth. Last night she ate something cold, and today her stomach aches for one day. Isn’t I just called the doctor to see her, now she is still lying in the room na!”

 

Hearing Madam Chen put the words to this point, Madam Zhao didn’t say anything anymore, but she frowned even deeper, the expression is not very good to take a look at.

 

The next hour, Mrs Zhao did not see the person he wanted to see, only she and Mrs Chen chatted a few words at the dinner table and then shifted the blame to something at home and left in a hurry.

 

Looking at the back carriage of Mrs Zhao leaving, the original smile on Mrs Chen’s face, but also gradually cold, and then looked at the side of the serving maids, said in a faint voice: “Let’s go, let’s go back ba.”

 

“Yes.” The little maid serving beside Madam Chen did not dare to utter a single breath, and cautiously supported the person into the room.

 

However, Mrs Chen did not go straight back to her own room, but turned a corner to go to the study room where Master Chen was.

 

“Master, Madam Zhao has been sent away.” Mrs Chen looked at Grandpa Chen sitting at the top, with a few gentle smiles on her face.

 

Master Chen nodded his head, he was still very relieved about this wife of his. Their women’s gathering or get together, he was not suitable to go, but from his wife, listening to some news was not a problem, so he continued: “Then does Mrs Zhao have expressed their intention to marry?”

 

“Never mention it.”

 

Chen Lao Ye frowned, his face also became ugly, at that time their family business could rise, one reason for it is to rely on their relationship with the Gu family. The other reason is to borrow the east wind (revolutionary momentum; favorable circumstances) from the Zhao family.

 

But his Chen family and the Zhao family are not legitimate (correctly named and truthfully stated—perfectly justifiable; fitting and proper) relatives, so in the conspiracy of some things after the gradual estrangement, and now he wants to rely on Zhao family marriage to continue to maintain the relationship [make friends (or claim ties of kinship) with someone of a higher social position; out-marry] between the two families. However, if the Zhao family is not interested, how can he reach out to them?

 

“Isn’t the family’s second young master very fond of Ling Er? This time, when Mrs Zhao said that she wanted to give the second Gong Zi a wedding, Ling Er should be the first one to be considered!” Chen Lao Ye was extraordinarily bitter and hateful, as if he saw a duck spread its wing open and fly away.

 

Mrs Chen looked at him, could not help but snort a laugh, but quickly thought of her future plans, immediately adjusted her emotions, showing a difficult expression, finally seemed to be unable to hold back before saying: “That… the Zhao family does not seem to be a good match, and moreover Ling Er seems to already have a preferred partner.”

 

“The Zhao family is the richest in the city, so it’s not a good match?” Old Master Chen immediately refuted, refuted half after, found that it seemed to be not quite right, then froze for a moment, looked at Mrs Chen said: “The admire object, what admire object? This dead slave girl, where did it come from this admired object? How do you educate your daughter?”

 

“Master, it’s me who didn’t teach and control my daughter well, don’t be angry.” Mrs Chen looked at the old master Chen pursed her lips tightly and did not say anything, knowing that his face was going to turn red so she hastened to add: “I was quite angry at first, and felt that it was because I did not do a good job somewhere, so I let my daughter develop an undesirable mind, but later after hearing Ling Er say it, I think it’s not wrong.”

 

Madam Chen’s words were undoubtedly pouring oil on the fire, making the already angry Chen Lao Ye immediately become irritable, “Do you know what you’re talking about? She is so shameless even if you as a mother not only do not educate her, but you also fool around with her and make trouble, do you still have an appearance as a mother?”
