Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 532 - : Neither Soft nor Hard Tactics Work

Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Neither Soft nor Hard Tactics Work

A group of people quickly arrived at the flower stand, and Mrs. Su cheerfully introduced them to each other.

“Sisi! This is the sister-in-law Tan I’ve told you about, and my niece Cailian. Cailian, this is Mrs. Di that I’ve told you about. Come and greet her.”

These words made Cailian’s face change color, with two blushes appearing on her cheeks.

She moved gracefully and bowed deeply to Sisi.

“Cailian pays respect to elder sister,”

Liu Sisi looked at her coldly and scolded, “Mrs. Su, your niece is too ignorant! If we are sisters in relationship, and she runs out and calls Sisi elder sister, is she ridiculing me or trying to climb to sister Su’s head? This can’t be tolerated, you need to teach her well so that people don’t look down on her!”

These words were harsh!

Liu Sisi didn’t leave any face for Mrs. Su. She wanted to snatch her man, and she still had to smile?

For such a vixen who wants to climb on her head and daydream, saying something like this is still easy!

“Elder sister … husband, husband …”

The color quickly left Cailian’s face, and her pitiful, tearful little face looked at Mrs. Su, then hurriedly lowered her head and hid behind her mother.

Mrs. Su’s expression changed too!

She didn’t expect Liu Sisi not to leave her any face, and to say such things in front of so many people!

Unexpectedly, the other party’s two clever remarks not only dissolved her original calculation but also made them lose face, and even made herself lose face too!

Where should she put her face?

She wanted to get angry, but she thought about being wrong herself.

“Dear sister, this child is a bit rash in speaking, and she mistakenly said something wrong. You mustn’t take it to heart! Cailian, you blind thing, come to Mrs. Di and apologize quickly!”

While Mrs. Su was talking, she maliciously glared at Cailian several times.

This made Cailian’s body tremble involuntarily, and she quickly took two steps forward, about to apologize to Liu Sisi.

“No need! Sisi can’t afford this apology.”

Liu Sisi laughed softly, “Just like sister said, children are ignorant and have no discernment. They tend to believe whatever adults say and can’t avoid saying the wrong things.”

They almost directly said that Cailian would say this because someone directly instigated her!

Although this was the truth, being pointed out so openly was a blatant slap in the face, and Mrs. Su had nothing to say!

Cailian stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to apologize or not.

“Where does little sister get these ideas? When a child does something wrong, they should be taught. Is it not natural for a family to enter another family’s door? We are all one family. Both our old masters are officials of the same dynasty and are disciples of Lord Gan at the same time. Our bond is not comparable to outsiders! Mrs. Di, don’t you agree?”

As expected, Mrs. Su was a seasoned woman, having mingled in such situations for many years.

These words contained several layers of meaning.

Liu Sisi laughed softly, “What they do outside, how would we women know? Our biggest skill is to solve their worries.”

As she spoke, she gently stroked her stomach, looking fully immersed in the sweetness of happiness.

But deep down, she cursed Di Yelei to hell and back!

Although she didn’t know the extent of his relationship with Cailian, if something really happened between the two of them, she, Liu Sisi, would not let him off easily! novelbuddy.cσ๓

Madam Su’s expression became particularly ugly, and just as she was about to speak again, Madam Ran finally squeezed her way in.

“Seeing the two Madams having such an animated conversation really fills me with envy.”

Madam Ran’s plump, round face was full of smiles, her eyes almost closed into a slit as she subtly swept her gaze across the people present.

“The cherry blossoms are in full bloom ahead, why don’t we all move over and enjoy the flowers? This year’s cherry blossoms are exceptionally beautiful, these cherry blossom trees were specially transplanted from a distant place as new varieties. The flowers are large and come in an assortment of beautiful colors…”

Madam Ran went on and on with her introduction.

Impatient, Liu Sisi had been waiting for a chance to leave and was more than happy to oblige and not embarrass the other party.

“I’ve heard that Madam Ran’s cherry blossoms are in perfect bloom, this is an excellent opportunity to go see for ourselves.”

As she spoke, she stood up from her chair and gently caressed her stomach while taking the lead. Xue Lan quickly moved forward to support her.

“That would be perfect; Madam Su, please join us as well.”

Madam Ran, not wanting to offend either side, extended the invitation to Madam Su as well.

Madam Su forced a smile: “You’re too kind, Madam Ran, but I’m feeling quite tired. I’ll stay here and have a chat with my niece and sister-in-law. Please go ahead if you have other matters to attend to.”

These words delighted Madam Ran!

She had initially been worried that both parties would break into an open conflict, which would have been unpleasant. Their separation suited her intentions perfectly.

“In that case, Madam Su, you can sit here for a moment, and I will return shortly. If you need anything, feel free to ask the servants.”

After saying this, Madam Ran hurriedly walked away.

It wasn’t until everyone else had left the center of the scene that Madam Su led Cailian and her mother to the pavilion by the lake.

“All of you, leave!” Madam Su casually ordered the servants.

Once the maids had exited the pavilion and no outsiders remained, Madam Su’s expression instantly changed, and she fiercely slapped Cailian’s face.

She scolded fiercely, “Good for nothing! Can’t even handle a minor task, what use is there in keeping you all these years?”

“Aunt, Madam, please spare me.” Cailian didn’t care about the pain in her face as she quickly knelt before Madam Su.

Standing next to her, Ms. Tan’s expression was also unpleasant: “Sister, don’t be angry, it’s not entirely Cailian’s fault. Even though she took the initiative, the man surnamed Di would not take the bait. It seems that we can’t proceed according to the original plan and need to come up with another strategy.”

“Now that things have come to this, do we still have a way out?”

Madam Su’s face turned ugly: “Our family’s Old Master is being pushed to the brink of death by that man surnamed Di! It’s not up to us to decide when to make amends. And you, put away your schemes! I know what you’re thinking. Don’t forget, we are closely related by blood and marriage, if our Old Master really falls, you won’t have a good outcome either.”

According to the current law, the guilt-by-association system for an official’s relatives extended to five degrees of kinship.
