Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1815 My Aunt is the Empress 22
Unlike Zhou Si Niang, who was enlightened by her aunt and knew that Linlang was very likely to become the Empress in the future, so she dared not offend Linlang, Zhou Si Niang did not know any of this, so she still dared to mutter such things to Linlang in front of her.

Linlang sneered upon hearing this, saying, "You think what I said is an excuse? Fine, then let's not talk about that. Just say that you instigated your aunt to go to Father and say that my mother is biased. You dare to talk about my mother and me like that, and now you still have the nerve to come and ask me for money? ... You're shameless. You insist on making me tell you all the good things you've done."

Zhou Si Niang hadn't expected that Linlang knew everything about what she had told her aunt to say to Master Zhou. She thought Linlang didn't know, since she had done it in private, and her aunt had also told Master Zhou about it in private. How could Zhou Linlang know? Her face flushed red and then turned pale with shame and anger as she left.

To be honest, Zhou Si Niang had previously thought that Madam Zhou would not treat her aunt properly if she knew what her aunt had done. But now she thought that Linlang would not know about this and came to Linlang to borrow money. Zhou Si Niang was contradicting herself. She couldn't possibly think that if Madam Zhou knew what her aunt had done, she would not keep it from Linlang.

After returning home, Zhou Si Niang deliberately avoided inviting a famous doctor from the capital. When her aunt died, she could blame it on Linlang, saying that Linlang had money but refused to lend her any to treat her aunt, thus causing her aunt's death.

But thinking about her conversation with Linlang earlier, which dozens of servants in her courtyard had overheard, she figured her attempt to spread rumors wouldn't work. They would definitely defend Linlang outside, saying that she had plenty of money and didn't need Linlang's money at all, and that she was just trying to take advantage of Linlang.

Then people will start talking about her, saying she has money but doesn't want to spend it on her mother, and even goes around slandering others.

So when Thursday's mother thought about the consequences of saying that, she held back and didn't talk nonsense anymore.

—Luckily she didn't say it, otherwise the things she predicted would really happen, and her reputation would be ruined.

Then he pawned a set of jewelry he didn't like, got a lot of money, and used it to treat Aunt Liu's illness.

Even renowned doctors, limited by the medical technology of that era, could not cure her aunt, whose illness continued to worsen.

When Madam Zhou heard that Zhou Si Niang had hired another doctor to treat her aunt, she knew what she meant. She thought Zhou Si Niang wanted to harm her aunt and didn't trust the doctor in the manor, so she did this.

Because Zhou Si Niang's trip to borrow money from Lin Lang was not done in private, Madam Zhou also heard about it.

Thinking back to how Zhou Si Niang had instigated her aunt to whisper sweet nothings in Zhou Da Lao Ye's ear, accusing her of favoritism, she was glad that what she did was permitted by her husband, otherwise she would have really been in trouble.

She treated her and her daughter like this, and now she still has the nerve to borrow money from her daughter. Madam Zhou couldn't help but sneer when she heard this.

Then, seeing that she had pawned a set of jewelry and gotten a lot of money, which she used to treat her aunt's illness, she sneered even more. After all, she had money but didn't use it herself, instead running to others to ask for money. It was really shameless. This girl, at such a young age, was already so shameless. She probably wouldn't be a good person in the future.

Thinking of this, Madam Zhou decided to leave her marriage to Master Zhou and let him worry about it himself. She knew that if she worried about the marriage of such a shameless illegitimate daughter, she would feel that if the marriage went well, she deserved it, but if it didn't go well, she would feel that Madam Zhou had harmed her. Just like now, her aunt's illness had not been cured, and she felt that Madam Zhou was being malicious and deliberately preventing the doctor in the manor from curing her aunt.

Fortunately, even the most renowned doctors outside couldn't cure her aunt's illness; otherwise, she might have really felt that she had deliberately harmed her aunt.

Because even renowned doctors couldn't cure Aunt Liu, she soon passed away, which saddened Zhou Si Niang greatly.

You see, because her aunt wasn't too old, she could sometimes see Master Zhou. And as long as she flattered Master Zhou, he would occasionally give her some rewards. In this way, her aunt had a little savings, which could sometimes help her out.

Now that her aunt is gone, she receives nothing but her monthly allowance and a few things from her aunt, the Empress, in the palace. Her income has drastically decreased, and she has no one to rely on in the household. How could she not be heartbroken?

By this point, she began to hate Zhou Erniang.

Thinking back, if it weren't for Zhou Erniang's wickedness in instigating her to say those things to her aunt, her aunt wouldn't have angered Master Zhou, and in the end, she would have fallen ill from fright and died.

So all of this was caused by Zhou Erniang, how could she not hate her?

Fortunately, Zhou Erniang had been placed in solitary confinement until she got married, which made her feel a little better.

Another reason is jealousy of Zhou Sanniang's good fortune.

She felt that her aunt had acted faster and was scolded by Master Zhou first. Zhou San Niang's aunt knew that these things should not be said, so she kept quiet and escaped a disaster. It was as if her aunt had shielded Zhou San Niang and her daughter from the disaster, so that Zhou San Niang still had the love of her birth mother, while she herself did not. How could Zhou Si Niang not be jealous of Zhou San Niang?
She subtly hinted at this to Zhou Sanniang, implying that her aunt had shielded Zhou Sanniang and her daughter from disaster, and that they should treat her well in return.

Zhou Sanniang naturally understood, and her face immediately turned ugly. She scolded her severely, saying that she had lost her mind. Her aunt had no intention of telling Master Zhou such a thing. How could it be that Aunt Liu was taking the blame for her and her daughter? She told her to get lost and stop being crazy.

After being scolded by Zhou Si Niang, she realized that Zhou Si Niang had a mother to rely on, while she did not. She didn't dare to talk back and could only silently wipe away her tears and go back home in resentment.

She was already jealous of Zhou San Niang's good fortune, so naturally she felt both jealousy and hatred towards Lin Lang.

They were jealous of her wealth and resented her wealth. When her aunt was sick, she refused to lend a helping hand and even pawned her jewelry.

In short, everyone in the world is bad except for her.

Linlang couldn't help but find it amusing to see Zhou Si Niang privately cursing everything and everyone, complaining about this and that, wallowing in self-pity.

But I just laughed it off, knowing she couldn't really make a difference, so I didn't pay much attention to her anymore.

At this moment, she was more concerned about the Fourth Prince's assassination attempt on the Third Prince.

Some people might wonder, how can the fourth prince, who is disfigured, still be ambitious?
This isn't because the Fourth Prince thought that as long as he killed all the princes, even if he was disfigured, he could still ascend the throne. Historically, there have been instances of disabled princes becoming emperors; it's not unheard of.

If that's the case, then if the princes in history could do it, he certainly can too.
