The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

After making a fuss all night and tearing the warm atmosphere of the Nie family apart, Gu Baishuang was tired and just wanted to go back to her room and sleep.

"Mom." Nie Xiaofeng called out in a whisper, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart.

What happened tonight destroyed all the good mood brought by his family reunion.

Gu Baishuang patted her son's shoulder and went back to her room without looking back.

Nie Xiaofeng didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Gu Baishuang deliberately shattered the illusion of father-son reunion and brotherly love for Nie Xiaofeng.

Otherwise, Nie Xiaofeng's fantasy of family affection for them will only hurt himself.

If Nie Xiaofeng still insists on having a family connection with them this time and advocates a harmonious family, then she will completely give up on her son Nie Xiaofeng.

She knows her two daughters-in-law and her grandchildren well.

Nie Xiaofeng knew that his two brothers were resentful about his birth and his two sisters-in-law attached great importance to the family property. He tried hard to convince himself that this was human nature.

Didn't he also feel that no one could take away his share before?

There is nothing wrong with brothers and sisters-in-law fighting for their own interests.

He has now become a deputy general and has earned his own fortune. If they want the things from the Nie family, he will give them to them and he will not touch a single cent.

At the dinner table, his father's kindness and his two brothers' kindness made him mistakenly believe that all the conflicts of interest in the family would disappear with his success.

Tonight's dispute shattered his fantasy.

At this moment, he only felt that he was too naive, and his naivety was tending to stupidity.

How could he not know that human greed has no bottom line?

Before he even sacrificed himself, his elder and second sisters-in-law were already thinking about dividing his property and inheriting his family line.

They must have talked about it every day at home, otherwise how could the children talk so smoothly about inheriting his family line?

Nie Xiaofeng's face looked particularly ugly, and he regretted welcoming his two brothers and sisters-in-law into the house.

"Dad, you can't blame anyone but mom for what happened tonight. My elder and second brothers decided my family property without my knowledge, and my mom has been tolerant enough towards them." Nie Xiaofeng said to Nie Mingyuan.

Without waiting for Nie Mingyuan to answer, Nie Xiaofeng said, "Dad, you heard everything just now. Your two eldest sons are hoping that I will die so that their son can inherit my property."

Nie Mingyuan avoided Nie Xiaofeng's gaze and explained, "It's all a misunderstanding. Your two brothers aren't such vicious people. It's a long story. You left for two years without any news. The border war was brutal, and news of defeats came in from time to time. Your two brothers thought you... They had good intentions and discussed with me that if this was really the case, and they couldn't let you die without an heir, they would choose one of their children to adopt as your successor."

"I didn't avoid saying this to the children. As you know, children can't understand what adults say. It gets passed around and becomes what you heard today."

"Your two brothers had absolutely no ill intentions; they only wished you well. To be frank, only when you were well could they benefit. Later, when they learned that you had achieved merit and been promoted to deputy general, your two brothers burst into tears of joy."

"Don't worry about what these kids say. Why are you arguing with them?"

Nie Mingyuan actually downplayed what happened tonight and turned it into the ignorance of a few children.

Nie Xiaofeng looked at Nie Mingyuan coldly.

Nie Mingyuan felt quite guilty and said stubbornly, "Your two brothers have been motherless since childhood and treated your mother as their real mother. Later, when your mother gave birth to you, she focused all her attention on you. They naturally felt lost in comparison. As your mother's biological son, your mother's efforts for you are what she should do as a mother. But a family only has so much, and everyone sees things differently from their own perspective. It's sometimes difficult for me, as a father, to be caught in the middle. We are a family, and if there are misunderstandings, we can just talk it out. You and your brother are both members of the Nie family. We are connected by blood, and as a family, we should help each other and not harbor resentment over trivial matters."

Nie Ming also seemed to blame Gu Baishuang at the end of his speech.

What he meant was that if Gu Baishuang hadn't held on to the family business, the two sons wouldn't have had conflicts because they got less.

Gu Baishuang controlled the merchant shipping business, was a shareholder in Jufulai, and, along with Gu Dashu, had a fur trade on the border. Their annual profits were equivalent to what Nie Mingyuan and his two sons had earned in ten years. She clearly used Nie family capital, yet she refused to share her profits with her two stepsons.

This forced the two stepsons to hold on to the small business he was running, thus arousing suspicion.

In Nie Mingyuan's idea, Gu Baishuang's business should be handed over to the eldest son, his lacquerware shop should be inherited by the second son, Nie Xiaofeng has his own deputy general, and the three sons each have their own business, so there will be no conflicts, right?

But Gu Baishuang was too stubborn to let the business go and was unwilling to share it with her two stepsons. Not only that, she didn't even let them get a single cent of the profits.

She left all her things to Nie Xiaofeng, who had no shortage of them. Of course, this caused complaints from her two step-sons, and eventually caused unrest in the family.

Nie Xiaofeng got angry when he heard Nie Mingyuan blaming Gu Baishuang.

He said to Nie Mingyuan, "Dad is so partial. My two brothers are his sons, but I am not? They tried to steal my things before I died, but Dad didn't think they were wrong. On the contrary, he covered it up for them. Why did my eldest brother and second brother fight? It was all instigated by Dad. You turned a blind eye to their conflict and tried to fool them. Now that it was exposed, not only did you not see your own fault, but you also blamed my mother."

"Is it wrong for my mother to love me? Doesn't my father love my two brothers too? As my two brothers' stepmother, my mother has never been criticized by my brothers and sisters-in-law for being disrespectful to her. He always advises her to be more magnanimous and always uses rumors outside to pressure her because others will only blame her. My mother suffered so much injustice in the Nie family, but my father turned a blind eye. Why does he blame my mother when my two brothers have conflicts? If you were worried about my two brothers being wronged, you shouldn't have remarried. You should have lived with my two brothers."

As soon as Nie Mingyuan arrived in Shengjing, family conflicts broke out. Instead of trying to solve them, he tried to divert the blame to Gu Baishuang.

The purpose is to let Nie Xiaofeng put pressure on Gu Baishuang, and for the sake of family harmony, Gu Baishuang should hand over the business.

Nie Mingyuan was speechless after being retorted by Nie Xiaofeng.

Nie Xiaofeng continued, "Why did my sister-in-law tell the children that they should inherit my fortune after I die? The root of the problem lies with you, Dad. You wanted to marry Mom to help you manage the household and take care of your son, but you also wanted to prevent her from getting her hands on the family property. Under your influence, my two brothers believe that everything in the house belongs to them, and it's wishful thinking for Mom and me to take what's rightfully ours. Even if I earned my own fortune, my brother and sister-in-law would still think it belonged to the Nie family, and that if it belonged to the Nie family, it belonged to them."

Nie Mingyuan's face turned purple as Nie Xiaofeng found out what was on his mind.
