Lin Yuwei was so angry that she pulled Gu's sleeve and cried, "Mother, mother, look at her, what kind of crooked words is she saying? She did it on purpose."

Lin Yulan looked down on her bullying attitude, "At this time, it is reasonable for Madam Rong to side with the Yu family. If mother asks me to cause trouble, how will people see me? I would never dare to do that. If mother thinks it is appropriate, you can go by yourself."

"How dare you talk back!"

Gu was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Lin Yulan.

Lin Yulan raised her hand and clasped her arm.

Gu opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Lin Yulan, how dare you? Let go and kneel down!"

Lin Yuwei was also filled with hatred, as if all the humiliation and abuse she suffered from Yu's family was caused by Lin Yulan.

"How dare you disrespect your stepmother? Lin Yulan, you are so bold! Don't think you are great just because you are the wife of Marquis Wuwei. Didn't you hear my mother telling you to kneel down?"

She rushed over viciously and scratched Lin Yulan's face.

Is it just Xu Yu's family that bullies her? She also has her family and mother's support.

Lin Yulan couldn't stand it any longer, so she pushed Gu towards Lin Yuwei and said, "That's enough, what are you still doing?"

"you!"

"Believe it or not, I'll go up to Lady Rong and have a nice talk with her, and see what you'll do."

Lin Yuwei was stunned, shaking with anger: "How dare you!"

Lin Yulan said coldly, "I am the wife of Marquis Wuwei. My Marquis is now favored by the emperor. How close are we, as legitimate and illegitimate sisters? Everyone knows that it is just a matter of face. If you don't even care about face, what am I afraid of? Even if I say it, I think the wife of Duke Rong will not find it strange. Think about it, is she protecting you, her daughter-in-law, or is she trying to give me, the wife of Marquis Wuwei, some face?"

Lin Yuwei's heart sank and she glared at her hatefully.

Gu was even more angry: "You, are you threatening me? Well, well, have you really grown wings? You even dare to disobey your mother? If this gets out, humph, I wonder if Marquis Wuwei will pay any attention to you."

Lin Yulan said calmly, "Then just go and complain to the Marquis. The two young ladies of the Lin family, one is not liked by her mother-in-law and is often confined; the other is disobedient to her elders and has no manners. Look around the whole capital, who wouldn't praise the Lin family for being good at educating their daughters?"

"You--are presumptuous!"

Gu was really angry this time.

She glared at Lin Yulan fiercely. It was at this moment that she realized so clearly that she could no longer control this concubine's daughter who had been in her hands since childhood.

"I really regret that I shouldn't have let you marry into the Wuwei Marquis's Mansion."

Lin Yulan's heart skipped a beat and she smiled slightly.

Then she had nothing to say, after all, she was a concubine's daughter and had no say in her own marriage.

"Get out!"

Gu's eyes were filled with disgust.

Lin Yulan glanced at her and turned away.

Gu was also annoyed by Fang's behavior and said, "You go out and wait too."

"Yes, mother."

Fang was eager to see it, so she lowered her head and turned to leave.

Her mother-in-law was too controlling. Although she was the eldest daughter-in-law in the Lin family, she lived like a transparent person. She never bullied Lin Yulan, but just stood by and watched indifferently.

Now she wanted to build a good relationship with Lin Yulan, but after trying it twice, Lin Yulan's attitude was indifferent, so she knew what to do and didn't bother herself.

It's fine this way. Having a relative like the Marquis's Mansion is a good thing anyway. If anything happens, Lin Yulan will not stand idly by.

But if it's too annoying, then it's hard to say.

It was unknown what Gu and Lin Yuwei were talking about. After that, Gu never bothered Lin Yulan again, and Lin Yulan didn't take her seriously either.

When Gu was looking for trouble with Lin Yulan, she knew to close the door to avoid being seen. However, it was different for Meng's mother, Meng's father, Meng Zifang and other members of the Meng family.

As "relatives", of course they had to come and take a look at what was happening at the Rongguo Mansion.

The three members of the Meng family were so happy, even happier than Lin Yuwei!

The original prince died, and Meng Mingchi, who grew up in their family, became the only male heir of the Duke's Mansion's eldest branch. Wouldn't the entire Duke's Mansion belong to him from now on? If it's his, doesn't that mean it's also theirs?

This not only made them more respectable, but also allowed Meng Zifang to get married in a higher position. Maybe she could even marry into a powerful and noble family.

When such a huge pie fell from the sky, even Lin Yuwei, who knew the pros and cons well, couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth in front of others, let alone them?

Meng's mother and Meng Zifang were discussing this matter proudly in the garden of the Duke's Mansion. They were so happy that they didn't even notice there were people among the flowers. As a result, those outrageous words were heard by several young ladies from official families and the people in the Duke's Mansion without missing a word.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment, blaming themselves for being unlucky. Why did they have to hear such words?

Should they pretend they didn't hear it, or should they complain?

Someone inside who had a good relationship with the Yu family was so angry that he ran over and told Xiao Yu's mother and daughter. Xiao Yu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, burst into tears again after hearing what she had heard.

The wife of Duke Rong rushed over and was furious when she heard her sister-in-law's angry retelling of the story.

It was true that his Meng family had raised a bastard for the Duke's Mansion, but it was not their turn to make decisions about the Duke's Mansion! It was not their turn to make arrangements!

The Duke's Mansion does not belong to them, so why should they be allowed to enjoy the wealth?

"That idiot Lin can't even handle such a small matter. What's the use of her?"

Lady Rongguogong was even more disgusted with Lin Yuwei. If she was useful and could appease the Meng family, how could this happen? And the guests heard such words. What a shame!

The wife of Duke Rong was heartbroken over the death of her son, but she never expected that her illegitimate son and his adoptive parents and their family would covet things that originally belonged to her son. Who could tolerate this?

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will give you an explanation for this matter. I will never let Amin suffer any injustice."

Yu's mother said with tears in her eyes: "I know you won't. Let's not talk about this matter now and discuss it later."

Lady Rongguo nodded and couldn't help choking up: "Well, let's talk about it later."

Xiao Yu was still young, and her aunt and sister-in-law both loved her sincerely. They had originally planned to let Xiao Yu return to her parents' home and find someone to marry into.

In addition to allowing Xiao Yu to take away all of her original dowry and everything in her yard as long as she wants, the Rongguo Mansion will also compensate her with a large sum of money, and will support her if she has any problems in the future.

But it is naturally inappropriate to say this at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu was determined not to remarry.
