The next day, before he went to work, someone came from the Grand Chancellor’s Residence.
Liu Shimei was right. It was Madam Zhang.
Madam Zhang was here. No matter what, she was Liu Shimci’s stepmother. Even if Liu Shimei did not like her, she should still give her some face.
As she had expected this, Liu Shimei did not change her clothes or put on makeup after she woke up. When she heard that Madam Zhang was in the front hall, she brought Mo’er over.
The one who received Madam Zhang was the Sixth Madam of Liang, Madam Jiang. The First Madam, Madam Wang, refused to come out and did not give Madam Zhang any face, so Madam Zhang’s face was gloomy.
“I was also at fault for what happened that day. There are no parents that don’t love their children. My biological daughter’s leg was broken, so it was inevitable that I was too sad. I didn’t notice that the Grand Chancellor was being so heavy-handed toward Shhimei. If I had known that he was so angry, I would have stopped him no matter what.”
If one did not look at her expression, her words would have sounded sincere!
Liu Shimei did not go in. She just stood outside the door and listened, waiting to sec what madam Zhang would do next.
Although Sixth Madam Liang also came from a small family, as the saying goes, one who stays with vermilion is red and one who stays with ink is black. She had been married for seven or eight years and had been in contact with the Liang family for a long time. In addition, her husband loved her dearly, her father-in-law was a reasonable person, and her sisters-in-law were harmonious. After so many years of being influenced by her, she had more or less been influenced by the Liang family’s culture.
She smiled faintly and said, “I understand. After all, one of your daughters belonged to another woman, and the other one is her own child. Anyone will value their own child!”
This sentence put Madam Zhang on the spot!
“Sixth Madam, you can’t say that. For the past ten years, I’ve poured my heart and soul into Shimei. I’ve never dared to be rude to her. Hasn’t the Grand Chancellor always pampered her? Otherwise, what kind of girl who has fallen out of favor can be nurtured so well?”
Outside the door, Liu Shimei nodded.
This was true!
It was not to the extent of pouring out their hearts and lungs, but as the best chess piece, how could they not pamper her like a Princess?
Before Mrs. Zhang could finish her sentence, she let out a long sigh and said, “This time, isn’t it also because of the successive mistakes? She was framed for losing her virginity before marriage. We don’t blame her for this. However, she disrespects her elders and disobeys her father. It’s not right to do such a thing. Don’t you think so, Sixth Madam Liang?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Then may I ask if your biological daughter dared to frame her sister for losing her virginity before marriage? Did the Grand Chancellor punish her? As a parent and a stepmother, the Grand Chancellor’s wife, you really have to be fair! If you don’t use your authority now, when should you use it?”
Madam Zhang was speechless.
She did not expect any woman from the Liang Family to be so powerful. Her glib tongue was comparable to Liu Shimei’s!
She could only bite the bullet and say, “It was Yan’er’s servant girl who committed the crime. Hasn’t she already been punished?”
Sixth Madam Liang still maintained a gentle smile on her face. “I don’t know how the matriarch of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence disciplines her servants. Let Madam Zhang, in our Liang family, when a servant makes a mistake, the master will be punished! If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. The servant has committed a crime, how can the master clean himself up?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Shimei could not help but laugh when he saw that Madam Zhang’s face had turned green.
At this moment, Liang Yi arrived behind Liu Shimei.
She turned around and whispered, “I think I’m not needed here.”
Looking at this scene, why would she need to step in?
