When Wei Changying said this, Madam Su was also a little unhappy and said, "First Aunt is always tolerant, not to mention that in this matter, Ning'er this is wrong. But the people in the kitchen are also too confused! Knowing that Ning'er has always been absurd and mischievous, they put it into the dish without inquiring! Even if your maternal grandmother does not say anything, your first aunt will not spare them easily! I said earlier that there was a conflict between your two aunts, but it was only before your third aunt's explanation. Your third aunt has already gone to make things clear with your first aunt, and your two aunts are virtuous people. How could they still be embarrassing between each other right now?"

… Wei Changying married into the Shen Family so that she certainly had some knowledge of the Shen Family's important marriages, not to mention that the Su Family was the husband's family of her own lineal aunt.

The clan of the Su Family was Fufeng Hall, and now the Family Head's name was Pingzhan. He was one of the six senior commanders of the Great Vi and was also Kangle Duke and the highly ranked royal official. His wife was Old Madam Deng who was sick this time.

Su Pingzhan had a total of three grown-up sons and two daughters. Su Xiuman, the lineal eldest daughter, was Madam Su. Su Shaoyuan, the youngest concubine's daughter, had not returned to the capital for more than ten years since she married the son of the Song Family in the south in Jiangnan.

Among the three sons of the Su Family, Su Mao, the second son, even if he had both sons and daughters, they could not be expected. Su Xiuming, his eldest lineal son, and Su Xiuwei, his third son, had a good relationship. It's just that Su Xiuming's lineal second son and the second young master of the Su Family, Su Yuxian, died at an early age. His wife, Mrs. Shen, was Shen Cangzhu, the eldest lineal daughter of the Count Xiangning, Shen Zhou.

Last time, Wei Changying greeted on the day after and went to Count Xiangning. Shen Cangzhu, who returned home as a widow, was afraid that she deliberately not to show up to prevent her unfortunate to cancel the joy of the newlyweds. She only knew about this when Mrs. Wan told him in private.

Although Su Xiuming still had a lineal son, the fourth young master Su Yuliang, he was not only two months older than Su Xiuwei's only son, the fifth son Su Yuwu, but also was a little indecisive and had no ambition. Originally, although it was not said clearly, Su Yuliang was the tacit successor of Fufeng Hall. Su Yuliang was less competent and less ambitious, but his elders would not be too disappointed. Because it would be better than the brothers were all competent and then cannibalized each other.

But after Su Yuxian died, Su Yuliang was not competent. Although Su Yuwu was not brilliant, his temperament was much more decisive than Su Yuliang. Su Xiuming and Su Xiuwei were almost the same in their abilities. For the long-term development of the family, Su Pingzhan was inevitably biased towards the third branch.

For the eldest branch of the Su Family, they were already very sad because of the loss of their capable lineal son. And as a result, even the position of the Family Head had to be taken away by the third branch, how could they have no resentment in their heart?

For the third branch, they did not kill the lineal son of the eldest branch. In addition to this, the other lineal son of the eldest branch was not capable enough, was their son not allowed to be competent?

The conflict between the Su Family's eldest branch and the third branch came from here, and it was no secret among relatives. Such a family matter was hard for people to make a fair judgment. Even Su Pingzhan and Old Madam Deng couldn’t help with it, let alone a younger generation.

For Madam Su, it was a shameful thing to have discord between the family members. Besides, it was hard for her, as a married daughter, to say anything about the affairs of the Su Family. When would it be her daughters-in-law's turn to worry about it? It was common to have intrigues with each other when there were many daughters-in-law. But it was beyond tolerance to talk about her family matters in front of her!

Seeing that there was annoyance in Madam Su's words, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu hurriedly apologized together. Mrs. Duanmu said, "Mother, it's my fault. I casually mentioned first aunt and third aunt yet made the third sister-in-law misunderstand me! How dare I encourage the third sister-in-law to interfere in the affairs of the Su Family? I just want to ask the third sister-in-law to help persuade the fifth cousin!"

Madam Su said coldly, "Persuade your fifth cousin? There is nothing to do with your two aunts!"

Mrs. Duanmu again and again to make amends, Madam Su thought of his help to invite Duanmu Xinmiao, neither light nor heavy scolded a few words and let this thing go. At this moment, Mrs. Liu said, "So, Mother, how about the fifth cousin?"

"... Changying just married in. I'm afraid that she doesn't know your fifth cousin's temperament. I'll talk to her later. "Madam Su thought for a long time but still agreed to this idea.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu looked at each other and seemed to have gloat in their eyes.

Wei Changying could not help but be surprised secretly that if it did not involve the elders, it would not be difficult to do this kind of negotiation. Why would these two sisters-in-law gloat? Was it because the cousin was very stingy, or did he take the parrot very seriously?

When she was thinking about this, she saw that Madam Su casually asked about the situation at home and then sent Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu away. She called Wei Changying to come closer, "Speaking of that, you haven't seen the pair of children of your aunt after you married in, have you?"

Wei Changying said hurriedly, "Now that I have arrived in the capital, and my aunt is married to Mother's parents' family. I think there will be a lot of opportunities to meet them in the future."

Madam Su nodded and said, "That's true." After thinking for a moment, she asked the people aside to leave and asked straightly, "It's not without reason that your first sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law join hands to give you the task of negotiating in between. Yuwu's temperament is good and is not a narrow-minded person. If only to ask him not to argue with the fourth younger sister, it is not difficult. It's just that if that's the case, your two sisters-in-law won't try to push you out to handle this matter."

"Mother, please give me some advice!" Madam Su spoke bluntly about the struggle between her daughters-in-law. Although Wei Changying was surprised, she understood that it did not mean that she could complain or pour out her grievances at will. Madam Su said this was not to comfort her but more likely to imply that Madam Su would not arbitrate this kind of struggle even if she knew it.

Seeing that she didn't immediately ask her to make the decision or think of a way to reject the matter, Madam Su looked satisfied, mused, and said, "I'll tell you the truth. Ning'er is now fourteen, and it's time to talk about her marriage."

As soon as she said this, Wei Changying immediately understood. As expected, Madam Su said, "She is unruly and noisy. I will not rest assured if she marries far away. If she also marries in the capital, it would be better to make her marry her lineal cousin and make the family relationship closer."

As Wei Changying was thinking about how to answer this, Madam Su continued, "I'll take her back this time. I've already talked to your aunt in private when your maternal grandmother gradually recovered. And she agreed with me and directly took an emerald mandarin duck hairpin from the dowry as a pledge. Yet, I haven't carefully put away the mandarin duck hairpin yet, Ning'er, the little devil, ate Yuwu's parrot!"

Wei Changying said carefully, "After all, the parrot is just a plaything...."

"A plaything is a plaything." Madam Su rubbed her forehead and said wearily, "It's just that it's has been raised by Yuwu for more than ten years. Anyone with a bit of character will definitely not be so rude. Knowing that it's cousin's beloved thing, she still does it! I thought she was still young, maybe she would be sensible as soon as she grew up. Yet I didn't expect her to be so dishonorable, and the relatives were offended like this by her! No matter how magnanimous Yuwu is, it may not be that difficult to treat her as a cousin, but as a wife.... How can she be a good wife if she acts like this?"

Madam Su seemed to scold her daughter and spoke for her nephew. In reality, she was still worrying about her daughter:

Although she was the lineal cousin, if the colorful parrot, which had been raised for more than ten years, was suddenly eaten by people, no one would be happy. At this time, he still had to engage with his cousin who ate his parrot. Judging from the reaction of Su Yuwu that not only beat the cook who cooked the parrot but also asked the elders to punish all the people in the kitchen, he might not condense Shen Cangning because of relatives. But if he still had to engage with Shen Cangning at this time, he would certainly not be willing to do so.

What's more, the timing of this was so coincidental that Madam Su and Wei Zhengyin just had an agreement with their children's marriage, yet their children had a conflict: if it was not Shen Cangning ate the parrot of Su Yuwu, but Su Yuwu did something to Shen Cangning's loved items, Madam Su would suspect that Wei Zhengyin didn't want to agree to this engagement, yet didn't want to reject herself face to face.

Because the marriage was brought up by Madam Su herself, and Madam Su's side was the female's side so that Wei Zhengyin would not suspect Madam Su was only making fun of her. But she just decided to have the niece as her daughter-in-law, this niece was already fooling around like this…. Even if Wei Zhengyin didn't say it out, how could she be happy? After all, the requirements for the niece were not the same as those for the daughter-in-law. Madam Su had both daughters and daughters-in-law, how could she not be clear about the feeling of Wei Zhengyin right now?

Even though Shen Cangning was the lineal daughter of the Shen Family, her brother Shen Cangfeng had been designated as the next Family Head. If Su Yuwu married this little daughter of his own aunt, his position in the Su Family would be further stable in the future, and his Grandfather Su Pingzhan would certainly pay more attention to him, which would be of great help to his future. However, Shen Cangning had now left such a bad impression to her aunt and cousin, who knew whether Su Yuwu would find a new lover after he had a solid position in the future?

What's more, the bad impression was the second and the most important was just as Old Madam Song and Madam Song used to worry Wei Changying. Madam Su wanted to marry her youngest daughter to her nephew Su Yuwu because she was afraid that her pampered and wayward daughter would marry into someone else's house to be wronged and being the daughter-in-law to her own uncle would always have some kinship. In addition to this, she also took a fancy to the future of Su Yuwu and wanted to help her nephew through the marriage, which not only put the little daughter in the position of the future Family Mother of the Su Family but also drew over a trusted follower for her son Shen Cangfeng.

The problem was, if Shen Cangning was like this, how could she take up the position of the Su Family's Family Mother in the future?

Wei Zhengyin was now hindered by the emerald mandarin duck hairpin so that she was embarrassed to take it back immediately. If the Su Family's Family Head, Su Pingzhan, really intended to support the Su Yuwu, he might just take the initiative to ask for this hairpin for the third branch of the Su Family!

Originally, this marriage was first mentioned by Madam Su. If the emerald mandarin duck hairpin was called back by the Su Family, even if outsiders did not know about this, Madam Su would feel embarrassed to go back to her mother's house in the future!

So now she didn't bother to punish Shen Cangning. After she told the Wei Changying in detail, she said slightly solemnly, "Your two sisters-in-law are also right. After all, your third aunt is your own aunt. She has only your mother's father as her own lineal brother, so she is close to you. Some things are actually only convenient for you to do…."

Wei Changying went numb from the scalp and thought that the fourth sister had made things like this. Even if the second aunt loved me, the cousin was her own child. Could she not think of cousin first? Besides, if she thought about the various manners of Shen Cangning since she had married in, she couldn't even imagine the consequences of her being the Family Mother of the Su Family!

After all, she was her only aunt. Would it be possible that in order to please her mother-in-law, she was going to take advantage of Wei Zhengyin? Wei Changying scolded her two sisters-in-law to death in her heart and was thinking about how to get rid of the matter. Fortunately, Madam Su did not embarrass her, but she said, "I don't have the face to ask your aunt now after the little evil thing has done such matter. Now that Feiyu's birthday is coming up. As soon as her birthday passed, you will be here for a full moon. At that time, go to the Su Family. You can not only greet the elders but also return this emerald mandarin duck hairpin in private. Yuwu is a good boy, but this little sinister.... Anyway, I don't have the face to let her go to the Su Family again!"

As she said that, Madam Su took out a blue hairpin from her sleeve, and the hairpin was carved into a mandarin duck with a cross neck. The jade was delicate and soft, and the luster was warm. Wei Zhengyin was the only daughter of Old Madam Song who had grown to adulthood. Although Old Madam Song put all her heart on her sons and had to neglect her daughter, she was not that eccentric to make Wei Zhengyin feel aggrieved. Wei Zhengyin's dowry was certainly not bad. This hairpin was not as rare as the pair of hairpins which was given by Madam Su to Wei Changying, but in terms of the quality of the jade, it was still an excellent jade that it was worthy of the name of a priceless treasure.

Wei Zhengyin took this hairpin as a pledge, which could be regarded as an expression of her sincerity.

Originally, everything was fine. But Madam Su did not teach her daughter well so that this little sinner stirred up a good marriage herself!

Madam Su was disappointed and handed the hairpin to her third daughter-in-law, looking pale.

But Wei Changying, who carefully put away the emerald mandarin duck hairpin, thought: This was to retreat in order to advance.... How would the second aunt respond with it?
