Chapter 741: Old Fifth and Old Seventh Are Here

Ever since Fourth Grandfather was murdered by Ruan Guosheng and had been reported missing, only Fifth Grandfather and Seventh Grandfather were left as the Ruan Family elders.

In the past, Old Fifth and Old Seventh had always followed Fourth Grandfather and blindly did things for him. Now, Fourth Grandfather was gone, and Old Fifth began to take over instead.

Madame Ruan told Mr. Zhong to take their visitors to the large living room. By bringing their wives and children over at this time, one could guess that they had wicked intentions. Madame Ruan was disinclined to entertain them in the small living room.

Wang Yazhi and Ruan Qishan had set off early to play golf. After breakfast, Ling Tianya had gone back to her room to sleep. Ling Tianya was sleeping, and Ruan Zeyan was working in his study.

Madame Ruan was escorted to the large living room by the servants at the Ruan residence. She immediately saw Old Fifth Grandfather’s two pregnant daughters-in-law. Madame Ruan’s eyes darkened, and she walked over with light steps.

“Sister-in-law.”

“Sister-in-law.”

Old Fifth and Old Seventh Grandfathers were seated while they acknowledged Madame Ruan. The elders and their wives and children then stood up in succession and greeted Madame Ruan.

Madame Ruan lightly raised an eyebrow and responded, “En.”

“Old Fifth, Old Seventh. It’s not New Year nor is it a holiday. There also isn’t anything big happening in the family. Why have you guys all appeared in such a grandiose fashion? Are you here to eat? But it’s not mealtime.”

Madame Ruan’s words were poisonous and ugly. Old Fifth and Old Seventh’s expressions became unnatural.

The old woman’s words were directed against them. She was hinting that they were supported by the mansion and it was because of the mansion that they were able to eat.

Old Fifth’s expression wasn’t good as he looked toward the door, “Sister-in-law, is your daughter-in-law not at home?”

Madame Ruan’s expression was neutral. “She’s at home. She’s sleeping in her room.”

Old Fifth’s face became long. Ruan Zeyan was the master and Ling Tianya was the young madam, but no matter what, Ling Tianya was still a member of the younger generation. The two grandfathers were elders! How could she not come to welcome them and instead remain sleeping in her room?

Madame Ruan could guess what Old Fifth and Old Seventh’s were both thinking when she saw their expressions. Therefore, she indifferently said, “Old Fifth, Old Seventh, don’t make a fuss. You guys arrived with no prior notice. My daughter-in-law is nine-months pregnant. It was I who told her to get some sleep, and I didn’t inform her that you guys have arrived.”

Hearing Madame Ruan’s words, Old Fifth and Old Seventh didn’t have anything else to say. Even if they thought they were in the right, they still couldn’t beat Madame Ruan.

Old Fifth and Old Seventh’s daughters-in-law were currently extremely envious of Ling Tianya. They were all daughters-in-law to wealthy families. but Ling Tianya had married into the most important family. Their lives were also entirely different. Despite being pregnant, they still had to wake up early each day and greet the elders. Then, after having breakfast together, no matter how tired they were, they still had to help the servants clean up and prepare fruits and tea for the elders.

They didn’t understand. They had servants to do those things, so why must they do it? They had always thought that Ling Tianya did this too, but now it seemed that that wasn’t the case. Madame Ruan really cared dearly for Ling Tianya.

Madame Ruan sat down and then looked at Old Fifth and old Seventh. Her face was composed and it was clear that, despite the chaos, she was unruffled. “Speak. Why are you guys here today?”

Old Fifth and Old Seventh’s expressions were slightly stiff. They had originally wanted to say their piece in front of Ling Tianya. Now, since Ling Tianya wasn’t here, they felt that their words wouldn’t be effective. However, since they were already here, they should still say what they needed to say.

Old Fifth pointed to his two pregnant daughters-in-law. “You two, come over and let your great grandmother see.”

The two people obediently walked up to Madame Ruan and respectfully said, “Great Grandmother.”
