After the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion awakened, she no longer wanted to be the mistress o

Li Qingwan's words made Sima Yue very nervous. He naturally knew that Ling'er was in trouble this time, and as a brother, he had to find a way to make it go away for her.

We can’t let Qingwan get angry!

"Qingwan, you misunderstood. Things are not what you think!"

He reached out to pull Li Qingwan's arm, but she shook it away with anger in her eyes, "Let go and don't touch me!"

The first time Sima Yue saw Li Qingwan angry, he realized that a tiger father will have a dog daughter. Her father was a general, and although she was a woman, she could be very scary when she was angry.

"Brother Yue..."

"Get away!"

Sima Yue now hated Sima Guling so much that he coldly rebuked Sima Guling, "If you hadn't said that your sister-in-law was having an affair, would things have turned out like this?"

Sima Guling was dumbfounded. What did Brother Yue mean by this? Was he blaming her?

She is doing this for his own good!

"How can you blame me? I also heard that..."

"That's enough. Do you brothers and sisters still want to humiliate me?"

Sima Guling is a two-faced person after all. She knows very well that there is something wrong with what happened today, so she immediately prepared to coax Li Qingwan, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. This matter is not anyone's fault, and we have no other intentions, right, Brother Yue?"

Sima Yue found Sima Guling's words annoying, and he felt sorry for Li Qingwan, "Qingwan, you misunderstood us!"

"Ling'er, what have I, Li Qingwan, done to you that would make you speculate about me like this?"

"sister in law……"

"And you, Sima Yue!"

Sima Yue was criticized by name, which was unprecedented. He knew he was in the wrong and did not refute. Instead, he looked at Li Qingwan obediently with guilt in his eyes.

He regretted it deeply. If he had known this would happen, why did he come here? If this matter was brought to his mother's attention, he would inevitably be blamed!

Who did he offend?

"Sima Yue, I, Li Qingwan, work like a slave for the Sima family and come out to entertain them. I just want to make the Sima family's business better and let my family live a good life. But why do you humiliate me like this?"

"No, Qingwan, I never thought of you like this, it's just..."

"That's enough. A woman's chastity is more important than her life, and yet you have repeatedly suspected me of having an affair. If that's the case, then what am I, Li Qingwan, holding on to?"

"Sister-in-law, please don't be angry. Blame me. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have instigated Brother Yue to come here to find you. Hit me, hit me!"

Sima Guling was very smart. She knelt down in front of Li Qingwan immediately. She also knew that she should persuade them to reconcile rather than to separate. She knew very well that if she didn't stand up in this situation, Brother A Yue would be in trouble.

"Ling'er, get up!"

Li Qingwan was very satisfied to see Sima Guling kneeling down, but she also expressed her own demands. Her goal had not been achieved yet, so how could she easily put an end to the matter?

"Let's go back home and solve today's matter, and let mother handle it herself!"

What, do you want to disturb my aunt?

"Ah Qing, let's go back home!"

Just as Li Qingwan took Ah Qing away, Sima Guling immediately stood up and changed his expression, "Brother Ah Yue, look at how capable she is. According to Ling'er, the man must have left beforehand, so we didn't catch him..."

"Shut up, the matter has been reported to my mother, how dare you slander Qingwan?"

That night, the atmosphere in Sima Mansion was very tense.

In the hall, Old Madam Sima was having a headache, but after hearing about how her daughter-in-law was misunderstood outside, she gritted her teeth and got up.

This rebellious son never makes her worry for a single day!

Under the candlelight, Li Qingwan handed the account books and the locks of the house directly to the old woman. When the old woman saw that she actually took the initiative to hand over these things, she became very nervous.

"Qingwan, what do you mean?"

Li Qingwan pretended to be helpless and spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Mother, Qingwan may not be able to serve you anymore. Here is the Sima family's account book for the past few years. The daily profit and loss are all written in it. There is also the key to the warehouse. As for the rest, you know that the Sima family relies on my dowry to survive. Now, my dowry is almost gone, so I will take it all away."

"Qingwan, what injustice have you suffered? Tell mother and I will take care of it for you!"

The old woman clearly knew what her son had done, but she pretended to know nothing. She thought Li Qingwan had at most come to her for justice and make a fuss, and she would just scold her son a few words and the matter would be over. But unexpectedly, Li Qingwan actually just quit!

How could this be possible? This was a critical moment for the Sima family. If Li Qingwan was the head of the family, what would they do?

A Yue's career, Run'er's master, and Sima family's big business are all gone!

Li Qingwan deliberately squeezed out two tears, looking very aggrieved, "Mother, I'm afraid our fate as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is over. Since A Yue no longer believes in me, what reason do I have to continue staying in the Sima family?"

"Qingwan, don't cry. Did that rebellious son irritate you?"

"Run'er and mother are like grandparents and grandchildren, so I won't take him with me. After all, he is the eldest grandson of the Sima family. I will only take my things and Hu'er."

As she said that, she winked at Ah Qing and said, "Ah Qing, go and bring Hu'er here. We should leave here too."

"Stop, Qingwan, stop right there, what's the matter that made you run away from home?"

Old Lady Sima immediately stepped forward and grabbed Li Qingwan's arm, and advised earnestly, "Qingwan, mother knows that you are a good daughter-in-law, don't cry, and don't leave. Our Sima family can't live without you!"

Li Qingwan felt disgusted when she saw the hypocritical mask of the old woman, so she gently pushed her away and said, "Mother, a woman's chastity is more important than her life. How can you let your daughter-in-law live?"

"Where is Sima Yue, the rebellious son?"

"Mom, I'm here!"

When Sima Yue came back, he saw Li Qingwan crying and about to leave. He knew that the situation was serious, so he immediately ran forward. Sima Guling also ran in, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, it's all Ling'er's fault. Don't blame Brother Yue, it was all my idea!"

"What did you two do to make my Qing Wan so sad?"

When the old woman heard a few words, she became very angry and slapped Sima Yue in the face. Immediately, a big red mark appeared on Sima Yue's face!

"You bastard, how come your mother doesn't know who Qingwan is? She has been a widow for many years because of you, and she still keeps her virginity for you and is filial to her parents-in-law. How can you be so foolish as to believe in slander?"

"Mom, I know I was wrong!"

Sima Yue had never been beaten since he was a child, but unexpectedly, this was the first time!

"Aunt, calm down. This is all Ling'er's fault. If you want to punish someone, punish Ling'er alone!"

"Sima Guling, you are not a good person either. Why don't you apologize to your sister-in-law?"
