Chapter 1109: Chapter 1107: Everyone Has Their Grievances
Nanny Weiās gentle words struck the most fragile chord in Madam Wangās heart, filled with pity, instantly bringing tears to her eyes as she leaned into Nanny Weiās embrace.
"Only you, wet nurse, care for me and understand me," Madam Wang said with grievance, "Iāve served my in-laws and raised children for so many years ever since I married him, without lacking in anything. Yet, he keeps bringing new people by his side one after another, never considering the bitterness in my heart?"
Nanny Wei softly said, "Donāt be afraid, my lady, your wet nurse is here."
As this box of grievances opened, it flowed out like water. Madam Wang said, "Over the years, Iāve been waging both mental and physical battles with his bevy of beautiful confidantes. If not for... there is a heap of concubineās sons and daughters. I have worked my heart and soul to manage his family and future, and what have I gotten in the end? Just the words that Iām a shrewd woman, unlike the gentle and kind wife he married back then. Ha."
"Does he not think about why I have become like this? If he had an ounce of gratitude and thought about me, he wouldnāt bring them home one after another. Wasnāt it he who changed first? When we first married, who was the one that promised under the dragon and phoenix candles not to forsake me?"
"But wet nurse, you have seen how he is, criticizing me as mean and fierce; why doesnāt he talk about his own errors?" Madam Wang sneered, "Fine, over the years Iāve come to understand, I have children, and Iām not someone relying on his backing anymore. He can bring whoever he likes, but now, he canāt slap me in the face like this. Wu Lihong canāt!"
As Madam Wang spoke, tears flowed incessantly.
"Miss, do not fear, you are the Wu Familyās eldest daughter-in-law, the Clan Matron, and your niece is the current Concubine, no one can override you, no one dares!" Nanny Wei comforted.
Having vented her grievances, the anger and injustice in Madam Wangās heart subsided.
Yes, her foundation is strong, who can possibly overshadow her?
After refreshing herself and having tea, Madam Wang was calmly seated on the beauty couch, drinking tea, and asked Nanny Wei: "Nanny, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
Nanny Wei deliberated and replied, "Madam need not be too anxious at first, after all, the master hasnāt returned yet. How this will end still depends on seeing the person first."
"Nanny, itās not that I canāt tolerate people, but that woman, she has an illegitimate child, that child is even a year older than my Yining!" Madam Wang said hatefully, "If they were to enter the Wu Family, that wench would seize the title of āeldest.ā How can I bear it?"
Yet Nanny Wei chuckled, "Miss, even so, after all, she is just concubine-born, and furthermore, an illegitimate concubine-born, having been born outside before entering the household, her reputation is already tarnished! Our young lady, however, is different, properly born as the legitimate eldest daughter, the legitimate eldest young lady."
"But she is always standing in front of my Yining, taking the āeldestā title." Madam Wang gritted her teeth.
Nanny Wei sighed and said, "No matter what, once she enters this household, wouldnāt it be up to the Madam to decide? While outside, itās difficult to control! Of course, if Madam thinks this old maid is siding with that pair of sluts, just pretend your wet nurse never said these words."
"I know Nanny always has my best interest at heart." Madam Wang pressed her lips lightly, a fierce intention flashing in her eyes, "Nanny, if they donāt make it to Changan, wouldnāt that solve the problem?"
Nanny Weiās face slightly changed.
