Chapter 32 – Jinx the Mother, Jinx the Husband, Jinx the Mother-in-law (2)

“Father is returning soon?” Shen Ziqiao was stunned. If Shen Xiao was coming home, it would greatly explain why the Old Madam was so patient with her.

Old Madam Shen thought Shen Ziqiao was pretending not to know of this matter intentionally, she snorted coldly, “Should your father be aware of your rebellious behavior, he would certainly be infuriated to death by you.”

“Grandmother must be joking. Father is strong and healthy, how could he simply be infuriated to death just like that. Moreover, regardless of how I behave, Father would not go as far to marry me to a fool.” Shen Ziqiao brimmingly replied.

“Then who do you wish to marry? Who do you think would marry you?” Old Madam Shen refuted.

Shen Ziqiao smiled, “Grandmother, like I said, I am still young, the matter of marriage is the last of my concerns at the moment. And since father is scheduled to return soon, I will have someone clean his room now, and to not impose upon you any longer.”

Old Madam Shen slowly unclenched her fist after watching Shen Ziqiao depart with a look of icy detachment.

Mama Li walked into the room and noticed Old Madam Shen’s livid complexion, hastily she served Old Madam Shen a cup of tea. “Old Madam, don’t be angered by Third Miss. She has always been like this.”

“No. She is unlike before. All she used to do was make an uproar, like a brainless idiot. The Shen Ziqiao of today is rather astute.” The way she talked today was evidently different.

“Could it truly be because of Sheng Peiyin?” Mama Li confusingly inquired.

Old Madam Shen frowned and shook her head. She had thought all along that she knew perfectly the temperaments of her three granddaughters, hence easily having them in the palm of her hand. She did not expect there would be a day where she could no longer see the intentions through Shen Ziqiao’s actions.

“Let us see how dissolute she is.” Old Madam Shen voiced out nonchalantly.

Did this mean she would not be suppressing Third Miss ? Mama Li lowered her head and asked softly, “What about Madam Qi…. I fear she would end up abandoning any betrothal intentions after hearing Third Miss’ words.”

Old Madam Shen was not worried in the least. “Who do you take Madam Qi for? There was no way she could become the Wife of Duke Ānguó today if she had believed and simply followed the words of any damn girl.”

Mama Li made a sound of acknowledgement, and both master and servant fell into a momentarily silence.

Meanwhile, Mama Gu immediately rushed for home after she left the Shen residence. As she was nervous and in a hurry, she did not notice that someone was closely watching her in the corner as she entered through the doors.

She went into Madam Qi’s room and saw Madam Qi standing beside the window, leisurely pruning her flower blossoms. Mama Gu slowed her pace as she approached, “Madam.”

Madam Qi wore a honey-coloured robe. Facing the window, her shrewd and fierce eyes seemed rather gentle. The corner of her eyes slightly raised when she heard Mama Gu’s voice, “En?”

Seeing that Madam Qi was seemingly in a very good mood today, Mama Gu stepped forward, “Nubi just returned from Old Madam Shen’s place and I have met up with the Third Miss.”

“How did it go?” Madam Qi asked.

“It… Third Miss claimed that she was someone who would end up jinxing her mother, husband and mother-in-law… Madam, I am afraid this marriage will not be fitting, especially to you.” Mama Gu reported cautiously.

Madam Qi laughed aloud, “Jinx her mother and jinx her husband? Including the mother-in-law?”

“En.” Mama Gu nodded her head. “Shen’s Third Miss’ bazi is too strong (hard)* .”

“I would be truly grateful, should she manage to jinx that fool to death.” Putting down the pair of scissors, the corners of Madam Qi’s mouth tilted into a taunting smile, “I am not afraid of her strong bazi. She may not be willing to marry into the family, but Old Madam Shen insisted she does, so should I be afraid of her? If she was truly born with the misfortune of jinxing her mother-in-law, didn’t she jinx that lowly woman to death long ago already?”

Mama Gu lowered her head, dare not to reply or speak a word.
