Chapter 5090: OffendedEditor: Henyee Translations
If Old Madam Qin didn’t know Ye Jian’s identity, she would’ve just listened to the gossip without taking the words to heart. But Old Madam Qin knew that the girl that the sixth son of the Xia family liked was Old Master Fu’s granddaughter, so Li Jinnian, as her elder cousin, naturally liked Ye Jian.
The Qin family and the Fu family had a good relationship. Old Madam Qin knew Li Jinnian’s relationship with the Li family very well. Old Madam Qin was unhappy that her daughter-in-law suddenly brought Madam Li and her daughter to the Qin family’s residence.
At this moment, they were talking about Ye Jian again. She listened to Madam Li and her daughter-in-law echoing each other. Then, she looked at Du Jiayi, who seemed to be speaking up for Ye Jian but was actually adding oil to the flame. However, her daughter-in-law didn’t notice anything. Old Madam Qin was so angry that her fingers were trembling.
"Alas, the world has really changed. Old Madam, don’t you think that people are too impetuous? They insist on climbing up the ladder by stepping on other people’s shoulders. They even think that they have the ability to make many men bow down to them. Alas, girls still have to respect themselves."
When Madam Li talked about family education, she secretly brought the topic to Ye Jian. She frowned and sighed worriedly. "She was raised by no parents. Although it makes people pity her, she lacks discipline. No matter how smart she is, she’s messy. She’s not upright enough and has lost her innocence."
Old Madam Qin was an old lady who had experienced many storms. The Qin family was still able to become a diplomatic family after coming back from overseas. Old Master Qin’s merits could not be extinguished. Even though Old Madam Qin was old and her eyes were not as clear as before, she was open-minded. Madam Li’s action of sowing discord was nothing but child’s play in front of her.
Old Madam Qin, who was sitting at the master seat, didn’t reply. Mrs. Qin, who had specially brought people to Madam Li’s door, was afraid that Madam Li would feel awkward. She smiled elegantly and continued, "That’s right. Actually, it’s all because she’s not satisfied and doesn’t know her limits. She just thinks that she’s talented and beautiful. No matter how beautiful such a girl is, she’ll only be a flash in the pan. She won’t be able to last long.
"Jiayi is still the best. She’s outstanding in everything and doesn’t rely on her family. Mom, Jiayi might only be 18 years old, but she entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with her own ability."
So far, Mrs. Qin still felt that Du Jiayi was better than the ladies she liked.
Old Madam Qin, who didn’t say much, was really angry now. She wasn’t angry at Madam Li for talking nonsense. She was angry that she lost her basic judgment when choosing a daughter-in-law.
There were so many daughters from prestigious families in the capital city, but she kept her eye on the daughter of the Du family!
Madam Du had bewitched her daughter-in-law many times. It had been a few years, but she still wanted to marry her daughter into the Qin family.
How difficult was it for the daughter of the Du family to get married? She knew that Xiu didn’t like her, but she still didn’t give up after so many years! She was already 28 years old. Did she think that she was only 21 or 22 years old and could still be willful?
If it weren’t for the mother and daughter’s visit today, she wouldn’t have known that as it turned out, Xiu liked Old Master Fu’s granddaughter!
Old Master Fu’s granddaughter was clearly a hundred times better than the Du family’s daughter-in-law. Not only did Madam Li not like Ye Jian, but she also kept saying that Old Master Fu’s granddaughter only had a pretty face and was trying to climb up the social ladder.
Old Madam Qin hadn’t been this angry in so many years!
