The mother-in-law relationship between Lady Xing and Wang Xifeng in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is quite delicate.
Lady Xing came to Wang Xifeng for consultation over the matter of "Jia pardon and asking for Mandarin Ducks", and Wang Xifeng mingzhe protected herself and pointed out to Lady Xing a so-called ming road that "how far to hide and how far" to stand and talk without waist pain.
Lady Xing has no choice between "offending the old lady" and "disobeying Jia Amnesty", and the horizontal and vertical are embarrassing and difficult to account for.
Since she could not receive Wang Xifeng's "kindness", she reprimanded her again.
After a big fight, the matter of the Mandarin Duck seems to come to an end, but the contradiction between Lady Xing and Wang Xifeng has been turned over and worse.
On Jia Mu's birthday, the ignorant mother-in-laws offended You's family, and Wang Xifeng tied people up and handed them over to You's hair.
Originally a trivial matter that was not to be mentioned, Lady Xing wanted to embarrass Wang Xifeng in public, and Yin and Yang were strange and ridiculed and squeezed her.
Mock her for not knowing the etiquette and not being a good housekeeper.
With Wang Xifeng's strong inner endurance, strong personality, a few squeezes and difficulties, why can't he stand it?
But in fact, her reaction was "the more she thought about it, the more ashamed she became" and "discouraged and sad, rolling down tears".
The first point is the isolation of no one to support.
Wang Xifeng told the matter to two key people, one was You Shi, the beneficiary of the incident, and the other was Wang Xifeng's closest aunt, Lady Wang.
From the perspective of interests, Wang Xifeng saved You's face;
In terms of kinship, Lady Wang is Wang Xifeng, who is pro-superior and pro-kin, which is extraordinary.
These two were the most likely to support Wang Xifeng.
However, both of them said, "Your mother-in-law is right," and this incident makes sense from any angle, but they both refuse to speak for Wang Xifeng.
He was not even willing to comfort Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng, such a proud and arrogant person, was humiliated by this in public, and was repeatedly mended by Madame Wang and You Shi, and the inner loss can be imagined.
You Shi represents that her relationship with interests and benefits is unreliable, and Madame Wang means that the kinship and blood are also unreliable, which is inevitable to discourage people.
The second point is the ultimate contradiction behind it.
On the surface, Lady Xing's embarrassment to Wang Xifeng seemed to be only for the mandarin duck's business.
In fact, the roots behind it go far beyond that.
Jia Mu did not like jia shu and lady Xing, who were not sons and daughters-in-law, and was even more partial to Jia Zheng and Lady Wang.
As Lady Xing's daughter-in-law, Wang Xifeng was sandwiched between Jia Mu and Lady Xing, both of whom could not afford to blame and could not smoothly appease Bajie, and life was naturally not good.
Madame Xing deliberately wanted to target her, naturally there were opportunities and more excuses.
As long as Jia Mu's indifference (or even deliberate abandonment) to Lady Jia Shu Xing does not change, the complicated three-generation mother-in-law relationship between Jia Mu, Lady Xing and Wang Xifeng will not be able to obtain fundamental changes.
Wang Xifeng, who was at the lowest level, naturally could not escape the fate of being an air bag at Lady Xing's place.
The most fatal thing is that although Jia Mu is partial to Wang Xifeng in her heart, can she report and slander her mother-in-law?
No. In the context of Jia Fu at that time, even if the evil mother-in-law was unreasonable and difficult, the facts and reasons stated by Wang Xifeng when complaining to Lady Wang and You Shi were already the most "bold" limit, and Jia Fu would not allow the occurrence of "daughter-in-law's counter-suing of her mother-in-law" in daily life.
No matter how capable Wang Xifeng was, he could only secretly cry.
