"It's just nonsense?" Qiao Jinlan snorted coldly, "The prince has taken Elder Chen as his teacher. He is very happy and asked the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes to celebrate."

"This Shuangrui, if he keeps calling me cousin, I'll be unhappy, and I'll be sad to stop him."

"Why?"

"The prince is in his own home, and something happy has happened, but he can't celebrate. Why should he consider the feelings of an outsider?"

"Ridiculous!" Anyang Hou scolded, "What's wrong with Shuangrui's advice?"

"What outsiders? They are brothers. What's wrong with considering each other's feelings?"

"A family should be like this."

After scolding Qiao Jinlan, Anyang Hou was still not satisfied. He turned around and stared at Lin: "Is this the good wife you found for your son?"

Just as Lin was about to speak, Qiao Jinlan spoke faster: "Father, there is something wrong with what you said."

"As a family, the prince should give in to his cousin, but there is no such thing as the cousin giving in to the prince, right?"

"My cousin was happy, and the whole family celebrated together, with a big banquet and gifts from the whole family. How come no one cared about the feelings of the prince at that time?"

"Don't forget, all those banquets and gifts were paid for by Hua's mother."

"From childhood to adulthood, how did my cousins ​​and aunts celebrate their birthdays? How did the prince and his friends celebrate their birthdays? Did father not see them or did he do it on purpose?"

"If you don't know, you might think that my cousin is the prince of the Marquis's Mansion, and the prince is a lowly concubine's son!"

"Shut up!" Marquis Anyang roared.

Every word Qiao Jinlan said stabbed at the pain deep in his heart, causing his features to twist and turn into a hideous expression. "Their family is already in a difficult situation. As a relative, what's wrong with giving them a hand? Why are you so narrow-minded?"

"Their difficulties were caused by the prince?" Qiao Jinlan confronted him directly.

"The prince killed my cousin's man? Did the prince strangle or stab that bastard man who ignored his wife and children?"

Marquis Anyang was so angry that he raised his hand to hit Qiao Jinlan.

"What? You won't even let people tell the truth, and you're treating your own son and daughter-in-law harshly for outsiders?" Qiao Jinlan dodged quickly while continuing to attack, "Father, if you know, you're too kind. If you don't know, you'd think you're a family!"

"I'll beat you to death, you beast!" Marquis Anyang was so angry that he strode towards Qiao Jinlan.

Lin hurriedly moved Qiao Jinlan behind her to protect her.

Lu Yunxu immediately went over to stop Marquis Anyang.

Marquis Anyang slapped him without even thinking.

Lin saw this and suddenly lunged forward, standing in front of her son.

However, the expected pain did not come. Lin opened his eyes in surprise and saw Qiao Jinlan's back.

Qiao Jinlan firmly grasped Anyang Hou's wrist with one hand and said with a smile: "Father is so majestic."

"He's not as good as my grandfather in killing enemies on the battlefield, and he's not as good as my mother in making money at home. But he's quite experienced in beating people, and it's very easy for him to beat his own children!"

"I want to see how you fight."

"Today, if you make any move against us, I will make the whole capital know about it."

"In order to take care of his cousin and her child, my father treated his own child harshly!"

"I am just a woman and I don't understand anything. I would like to ask everyone in the capital to judge what I did wrong and what the prince did wrong to deserve such a lesson from my father!"

"If it's really those people, father thinks it's unreasonable. At worst, we can go to His Majesty and talk to him."

Marquis Anyang stared at Qiao Jinlan in front of him in shock, his head buzzing.

He only felt waves of dizziness, and a faint taste of blood surged in his mouth: "You, you..."

"Princess, this is all our fault. We are an orphan and a widow who have caused trouble for the Marquis's Mansion." Su Yunxia burst into tears and said aggrievedly, "We will leave now and leave you alone."

"Cousin, look at what you said. If you think you are a trouble to the Marquis's Mansion, do you think you have lived here for more than ten years?" Qiao Jinlan would not tolerate a green tea person like Su Yunxia.

"My mother is generous and the prince is kind, so I won't say anything. But I can't do that! I have to fight for my mother and my husband."

"How dare you!" Madam Lu cursed angrily, "I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to make the decision in this family!"

"Grandmother, it's really not my turn to make the decisions in this family. It's fine for you to make the decisions, but the Anyang Marquis's Mansion has been spending my mother's dowry, and the prince even used his mother's money to celebrate his success as an apprentice, but a servant said it was inappropriate."

"Come on, come on, Grandma, tell me, what is the reason for this?"

What Qiao Jinlan said was exactly the fact that Old Madam Lu had never wanted to admit.

Madam Lu was immediately annoyed and angry: "Is it a big deal to have a few silver coins?"

"Having money is a great thing. If grandma thinks it's not a great thing, then don't spend my mother's money!" Qiao Jinlan said directly.

Madam Lu was so angry that she slapped her thigh and cried, "I can't live like this anymore. This is going against the will of heaven."

Even though Madam Lu has lived in the capital for decades, she has never forgotten her bad habits from the countryside.

It’s just that there is no room for performance in normal times.

Qiao Jinlan smiled slightly, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Lin say, "Since mother feels that this life is unbearable, then the Marquis and I will divorce!"

"It would save my mother from feeling wronged and my cousin's family from feeling dependent on others."

Lin's words immediately shut up Madam Lu.

She looked down on the Lin family, but the Marquis' Mansion could not do without the Lin family.

Anyang Hou's face suddenly darkened. He was about to speak when he realized that his wrist was still held by Qiao Jinlan. He said angrily, "Let go."

Only then did Qiao Jinlan let go.

Marquis Anyang looked at Qiao Jinlan deeply. How could her strength be so strong?

However, Anyang Hou didn't have that much time to think about this. He had to appease Lin first. Lin's side was more important: "Don't make a fuss. What are you talking about divorce or not?"

"It's just a small matter..."

"It's a small matter?" Lin laughed sarcastically. "My son was criticized by a servant for celebrating. I just realized that my son's status in this family is so low!"

"I manage everything for the Marquis' Mansion for my own children. If my children can't live well, what else can I live for?"

"For the sake of harmony in the Marquis's Mansion, I will give in!"

"For the sake of the dignity of the Marquis's Mansion, I will give in!"

"But I will never let anyone bully my child!"

Lin's eyes were as sharp as a knife, stabbing at Marquis Anyang fiercely with the determination to fight to the death.

Marquis Anyang's breathing stagnated. He had never seen Lin like this before. She was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, making him dare not face her edge directly.

A mother protecting her child can unleash absolutely shocking power.
