Volume 1: Yun Family Has a Daughter Chapter 9: Top Quality Relatives

  This afternoon, Mo Mo was about to discuss with Wu You going out for a stroll when Xiao Yatou's voice came from outside the door. After coming out of the inner room, she saw Xia Lian waiting in the main house.

  "Pay respects to the young mistress! Young mistress, madam has ordered me to come and ask you to go over!"

  "Xia Lian sister, mother asked me to come over, didn't she say what it's about?" Mu Mu was puzzled, this morning when I went to pay respects, I didn't hear anything about any matter!

  "I don't know, I just heard the lady say that the old lady's relatives from her hometown have arrived, maybe they want to see the young miss!"

  The old lady's natal family?

  Meng Meng suddenly remembered that a few days ago, his parents mentioned that Old Lady's 60th birthday was approaching. His father thought that since it was her 60th birthday, which is considered a big deal, they should have a grand celebration, so he invited many relatives and friends. After thinking about it, it seemed like the event would be happening around these days.

  This old lady came from a wealthy merchant family in Lin'an City, which is not far from the capital city, but also not close. I suppose she was worried that she wouldn't make it on time, so she arrived ahead of schedule.

  Momo thought that after all, she was a senior, and although the old lady didn't treat her with warmth, she still had to save face. Moreover, she didn't want the old lady to grasp for excuses to make things difficult for her mother!

  When Meng arrived at Anhe Courtyard, the room was already packed with people.

  Those people saw Mu Mu arrive and hastily stood up to pay their respects, all shouting: "Greetings to the young mistress!"

  Momo was bewildered by this scene and didn't know who these people were. Upon closer inspection, there were three women with simple hairstyles, wearing plain clothes, two girls who looked thin and small, under the age of ten, and a boy about five or six years old, equally frail.

  Upon seeing this, Mu Mu realized that these people were probably her father's concubines and children. If they hadn't appeared here today, she would have almost forgotten that there were so many people in the mansion.

  Looking at these aunts with their simple attire and timid younger sisters, it seems that life in the mansion is not easy. No wonder, with Li as the mistress of the house, they would be lucky to have an easy time!

  "No need for formalities! Please take a seat!"

  Although I feel a bit uncomfortable in my heart, after all, these children are also relatives with half of their own blood relationship, and at most they are not close.

  "Thank you, young lady!" The several aunts saw that Momo hadn't made things difficult for them and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although they rarely left their own courtyards, they had also heard that this young lady wasn't someone easy to get along with.

  Mo saw their cautious appearance and secretly found it amusing, was she really that intimidating?

  After paying respects to the Tong family, they chatted for a few words, and then followed the Tong family to Taihe Temple in a grand manner.

  Before entering, the loud laughter and conversation inside could be heard. Mo Mo and others were waiting outside the door, and after the little gatekeeper went in to report, they walked in.

  Wow, there are a lot of people! More than all the masters and servants in Yunfu combined. Could it be that they've brought their whole family?

  Meng Meng saw this house full of old and young, men and women, and couldn't help but frown!

  Everyone knelt down to pay their respects to the old lady, and after finishing their greetings, they were busy asking about her family's well-being. For a moment, the scene looked lively!

  "Oh, auntie is indeed a blessed person! Just look at these grandsons and granddaughters, each with a face full of good fortune! Especially this legitimate granddaughter, she looks just like a little fairy!"

  A middle-aged woman in her forties, who looked well-maintained, smiled and held Momo's hand, with a passionate face, flattering excessively.

  Mo didn't like strangers touching her, but it wasn't good to push them away in public either! Silently brushing off the hand of this second aunt-in-law, Hua Shi, she couldn't help but smile. If this second aunt-in-law knew that Old Lady didn't get along with her, perhaps she wouldn't be so presumptuous!

  The old lady gave Momo a sinister glance, twitched the corner of her mouth and revealed an insincere smile.

  "If I may say so, this young niece of mine is a beauty with both talent and manners! Our young mistress's appearance and demeanor are not inferior to anyone, how can she be compared to some rustic country woman?"

  Just as Meng Meng was about to speak humbly, she saw a middle-aged woman with her nose pointing towards the sky staring coldly at her, with a face full of disdain!

  Momo remembered that this person was the old lady's own daughter, Yunfu's auntie Yunshi, who married her eldest brother-in-law Li Mao.

  Yun's family was extremely disgusted with Tong's family, and their words were extremely unpleasant. In one sentence, they scolded both Tong's family and Meng Meng!

  As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes kept darting back and forth between Tong Shi and Yun Shi.

  Tong's eyes were red with anger, and she felt so wronged that she almost cried!

  Wiping away the corners of her eyes, this person is another extreme product! As a guest, she actually dares to be rude to the host, turning up her nose! Seeing her mother so humiliated, her tone also becomes unpleasant:

  "Is that a proper thing to say, Aunt? You praise my sister, and neither I nor my mother has stopped you. Why do you speak ill of me and my mother?"

  "How dare you! You actually dare to talk back! I am your aunt, no matter what, and you little brat don't know how to respect your elders, just like your mother!"

  This really made Mu Mu furious. I'm giving you a chance to back down, if you don't take it, then don't blame me for not giving you face!

  "Even if you were my aunt, you're still a guest! My mother is the mistress of Yunfu, and as a guest, you dare to be rude to your host? Did you learn your manners from dogs? You call my mother an unrefined country woman, but aren't you even worse than an animal? Besides, where has my mother ever been disrespectful to her elders? She pays respects every morning and evening without fail. Which day did she ever slack off? I'm the one who's being rude to my elders? May I ask if you have any dignity as a senior?"

  "Oh... oh... Ah, Mother! Your daughter is dead! She came all the way to wish you a happy birthday, but was humiliated by someone. You must take charge of your daughter's affairs!"

  Yun was so choked with words that he rushed up and grabbed the old lady's hand, wailing loudly, and those who didn't know would have thought they were mourning a funeral!

  A large crowd of people on the side whispered persuasively, but this Yun's crying voice was even louder.

  The old lady's eyes twitched with anger, this is really shameful! In front of a room full of maids and servants, if this gets out, the reputation of the Yun Manor will be completely ruined! She silently blamed her daughter for stirring up trouble and secretly resented Momo for speaking too boldly.

  But she didn't think that she herself had taken a permissive attitude from the start!

  "Tong's family, you've raised a good daughter, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Lier! Someone, come here, the young lady is disrespecting her elders, teach her a lesson, slap her ten times!"

  What the...! It's not even after autumn yet, and you're already settling accounts? Are you sure you're my own grandmother? Mu Mu cursed inwardly.

  Just as the old lady's trusted maids were about to step forward and carry out her orders, a loud roar was heard from the doorway:

  "Just watch and see who dares to make a move!"
