Chapter 180: Putting the Husband First in Everything
Chapter 180: Putting the Husband First in Everything
"Then... Madam..." Lu Yun didn't dare to refute, but she still remembered what happened to Liu, and was afraid that they would do something weird to upset the young lady.
Lin Yuxi naturally saw through her heart and was very moved. She wanted to plead for mercy, but was stopped by Yang Chenchuan's eyes. She gave up awkwardly and said, "I know about this. You can go down first."
As he said this, he winked at Lu Yun. Lu Yun knew that Lin Yuxi was helping her, and she felt balanced in her heart. She looked at Yang Chenchuan timidly and retreated.
After the door was closed, Yang Chenchuan snorted coldly: "See, I said she has no good intentions."
Without waiting for Lin Yuxi to speak, he called Zhijian and asked him to find out what conspiracy the two of them were planning.
In less than half an hour, Chi Jian came back with the news, which was exactly as Lin Yuxi had expected. The Second Wife used Lin Yuhe's freedom as an exchange, and asked Liu to help her push Chen Ying'er to the position of Yang Chenchuan's principal wife.
Lin Yuxi couldn't help but smile when she heard this. It turned out that the one who supported Chen Ying'er the most to marry into the Yang family was the second wife. She really wouldn't let them have peace for even a moment!
Yang Chenchuan's expression changed immediately after hearing this. Lin Yuxi comforted him with a few words, but at the same time, she also planted a seed in his heart.
Her injury had healed greatly. The first and fifteenth day of every month were the fixed days for paying respects to the old lady. On this day, she got up early and went to pay respects with Yang Chenchuan. The two of them paid respects to the old lady, the eldest master and the second lady in a proper manner.
When the second wife saw her, she asked with concern: "You have just been seriously injured, and it is time to recuperate. If you go out in the wind for only five or six days, what will happen if the wound becomes inflamed?"
Lin Yuxi sat below Yang Chenchuan, glanced at the old lady who had a worried look on her face, and said, “Mom, I’m much better now. Besides, paying respects to the old lady is a big deal. You can’t be so delicate. It’s disrespectful to shirk your duties just because of a little injury.”
The old lady's expression really improved after hearing this. She praised Lin Yuxi for being sensible and said a few more words of concern.
After they talked for a while, the first lady's family and the second lady's family arrived, followed by Chen Ying'er. After they performed the formalities, they took their seats.
The old lady over there smiled when she saw Chen Ying'er and waved to her: "Ying'er, come sit next to me."
Her attitude was even closer than that towards her two grandsons' wives, Diwu Xufang and Lin Yuxi. However, ever since she knew that she had taken away the second wife's dowry, Lin Yuxi no longer had a good impression of this seemingly kind old lady. Who she liked was her business and she had no right to interfere.
Chen Ying'er was not polite either. She sat down next to the old lady. When she looked up at Lin Yuxi, she couldn't hide her pride in her eyes. Lin Yuxi curled her lips and didn't take it seriously.
The second wife on the other end turned the topic to Lin Yuxi and asked a few questions with concern. Lin Yuxi answered politely one by one.
The eldest lady also chimed in, "Thinking back to that day, it was really thrilling. Fortunately, Erlang and Yuxi were there, otherwise we wouldn't know if we would still be alive today."
"That's right. I say that the second sister-in-law is very lucky to have picked such a great daughter-in-law. If it were anyone else, they would have fainted from fear at the sight of that gleaming sword. But Yuxi is so brave. Not only did she fight fiercely with the thieves, she also sacrificed herself for her mother-in-law. Looking around Da'an, I'm afraid there are not many people who can compare to Yuxi. She is truly a heroine." The second wife continued.
"But, don't act so rashly next time. You have to take care of Erlang even if you don't take care of yourself. You and Erlang are newly married. If something happens to you, how will Erlang live in the future?
Actually, our Yang family doesn't want to produce a heroine, we just want to live a peaceful life. Your intention is good, but it is not good for a girl to use knives and guns. Second Aunt knows that you don't like to hear these words. Honest words are unpleasant to the ear, so as an elder, I still have to give you some advice."
Lin Yuxi was particularly annoyed by the Second Madam's mouth. She could talk to herself for three days and three nights even if no one was talking to her.
Aren't all these nonsense words just meant to express that she was violating the code of conduct for women, saying that she was not a lady from a noble family and was not qualified to be the mistress of the house? In her heart, she despised the Second Wife from top to bottom, but on her face she pretended to be taught a lesson.
"Second Aunt is right. Yuxi will definitely remember Second Aunt's teachings. Next time when Second Aunt is in danger, Yuxi will run away as fast as possible. If she can't escape, she will hide behind the elders and put her husband first in everything. Second Aunt, please rest assured. Yuxi has remembered it in her heart and can't forget it even if she wants to."
Lin Yuxi's smiling face made the second wife's neck choke, and her face became gloomy. She didn't say anything, but the elders insisted on pointing out that she was in danger, which clearly showed that they couldn't bear to see her well and cursed her.
The second wife took a deep breath and was speechless for a moment.
Seeing that Lin Yuxi was not someone who could be easily bullied, the Second Madam felt comforted and couldn't help but smile. She said with a smile, "Yuxi, how can you talk to an elder like that?"
Lin Yuxi stuck out her tongue and said, "Mom, I was just kidding, Second Aunt, Yuxi just said some jokes, you are a generous person, you will definitely not hold it against me, right?"
She had blocked her own way out, so even if the Second Wife wanted to make a fuss, she couldn't say anything, otherwise she would be accused of deliberately making things difficult for the younger generation.
The second wife's eyes flashed with a cold light. She pretended to cough and said, "It was just a joke. You can't blame the second aunt for being so petty that she can't even take a joke. Knife wounds are no different from other wounds. You have to be careful everywhere. Did you ask the doctor to check your pulse again after taking it last time? Otherwise, you will develop a chronic disease."
Yang Chenchuan's dark eyes flashed, he looked directly into the Second Madam's eyes and said, "Second Aunt is really careful. If you hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have remembered to ask a doctor to take my pulse. But last time, Second Aunt didn't seem to trust Doctor Li's medical skills. Why don't you recommend one to me?"
The Second Wife felt a little uneasy when Yang Chenchuan looked at her, but she didn't expect that he would actually ask her to call a doctor. This was exactly what she wanted. Just as she was about to speak, the First Wife interrupted:
"Doctor Li is the best doctor in Mingde City. Your second aunt was just too frightened that day and was talking nonsense. How could you not believe in Doctor Li's medical skills? Stop talking about it. If it gets out, Doctor Li will resent him and never come to my house again."
The second wife wanted to accept the offer, but she didn't expect that the first wife would interrupt the conversation. It took her a while to finish the conversation: "What the eldest sister-in-law said is absolutely right. I was just talking nonsense that day. But sometimes it is inevitable to make mistakes when seeking medical advice. I was just too worried about Yuxi. It's been six days, and it's time for a follow-up visit. I'll send someone to invite Doctor Li now."
After a pause, Fuer said, "If Erlang is worried, you can ask Doctor Zhang from the west of the city to come. What do you think?"
As soon as the second wife finished speaking, several people in the room cast dissatisfied glances at her. What did she mean by that?
Doctor Li is the best doctor in Mingde City. If even he can't cure the disease, then other doctors will be useless. So why bother to find Doctor Zhang?
