Counterattack
According to Lady Oriana, these women came to balls and tea parties and made sarcastic remarks about Mother.
They spread bad rumors about her, but recently, Mother has been less visible in the social world, and they seem to have thought that something had happened to her and decided to try to poke her with sarcasm.
“It’s really tough. Your husband is still young.”
“Yes, infidelity is a man’s worth.”
“I’m envious. My husband is clumsy… he says he’s not interested in anyone but me and doesn’t even have a mistress.”
“I…”
Her face was contorted.
I could hear the sound of her grinding her teeth while desperately making a smile, and the sound of her gripping her fan.
“She really has a good personality.”
“As expected.”
The two of them knew this would happen.
That’s why they didn’t intervene.
“That’s right. I heard that a child was born to the Marquis of Hasett’s family.”
“Eh… yes.”
“It’s good because the Marquis said he couldn’t have children for a long time.”
“Yes.”
“I wonder if it’s because his wife is young? My daughter-in-law also had a child the other day… a cute boy.”
“What!”
The lady who turned pale was also grinding her teeth.
“By the way, the woman who is now making a devilish face is Lady Hasett. Her daughter couldn’t have children for a long time, but her husband’s mistress did. It seems that he will be the heir.”
“This must be boiling her guts.”
“I was relieved that it was an easy delivery. Our house is safe now. My daughter-in-law is still young.”
What a sarcasm.
The ladies returned sarcasm with sarcasm and left with red faces as if they were running away.
(((Farewell!)))
Amazing.
What a brilliant counterattack.
“Haa~ she really does it so well.”
“There’s no more sarcastic person than her.”
Mother, who thoroughly attacked her opponent without making a fuss, is amazing.
“In the social world, the one who becomes emotional loses.”
“Raising your voice and becoming emotional is unsightly.”
“Amazing. As expected of Mother.”
I have been passive until now.
I have never used my head like Mother does.
I’m not saying that I wanted to speak to that person like this.
I’m saying I was stupid not to use my head.
I just relied on Henry to protect me.
“I want to be like Mother too.”
“Huh?”
“A wonderful woman like Mother.”
“You don’t have to be like her. Listen, don’t imitate Mom, okay? Never.”
But I feel like I can’t survive in the social world unless I can return malice with malice.
“Lord Henry, that’s where a husband’s worth lies.”
“Lady Oriana…”
“It’s okay. You can do it, Lady Marie.”
Someday I want to be a fine lady like my Mother.
