Zhao Wan seemed to have anticipated her husband's way of handling the matter. Ripples appeared in her eyes and she felt bitter inside.

Su Yan laughed out of anger. There was no one in this family who could stand up and reason?

What's the point of living in such a marriage?

Zhao Wan let out a long sigh, feeling sorry for her miserable fate.

Su Yan felt very upset after hearing this, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

But perhaps no amount of comfort would be of any use. Zhao Wan has already been stuck in this quagmire, and it would not be easy for her to get out.

Moreover, estrangement does not separate relatives, so she cannot interfere in such family affairs, even if they are good friends.

But looking at the maid who came with an arrogant look on her face to "invite" Zhao Wan to go to the old lady, Su Yan felt that she could at least follow her and help Zhao Wan explain.

But after meeting Grandma He Qi, Su Yan understood that it was not that she did not know the truth, but was just using this incident to control her daughter-in-law.

So no matter how much Zhao Wan explained, it was useless. You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Since they have to put the blame on Zhao Wan, why should we just swallow our anger?

There are some things Zhao Wan can't say, but Su Yan can.

"Grandma Qi, you are not deliberately putting the blame on Wanwan because you see that she is gentle and polite and you can't bear to cause family discord, right?"

Su Yan smiled, her eyes full of understanding, "I've only heard that county magistrates also pay attention to personal and physical evidence when handling cases, but I've never heard of anyone deciding a case solely based on the plaintiff's words, without even uploading personal evidence. What's the matter, Seventh Grandma, are you good at fortune-telling?"

Grandma He Qi was furious and slammed the table, "You..."

Su Yancai didn't wait for her to start making far-fetched claims, and continued, "I've heard for a long time that there is an old lady in the Xu family in the south of the city who likes to sow discord between her son and daughter-in-law. She enjoys torturing her daughter-in-law every day, and finally tortures her to death. I didn't expect that in our family, which is well-known, there would be such a person who would put the blame on others regardless of right or wrong. After all, I have been married for a short time and have no experience. This time, I have opened my eyes."

The fact that the Xu family's mother-in-law tortured her daughter-in-law to death was exposed by her family, and the entire family was disgraced, became known throughout the county. In order to save their reputation, the Xu family decided to divorce the old lady.

But it may take several generations to build a good reputation, but it only takes one person to destroy it.

Now, which prominent family in the county would dare to marry their daughter to a man from the Xu family?

The angry Xu family directly put pressure on the old lady's family. As a result, the old lady chased after her daughter-in-law before the seventh day of her death.

Su Yan compared Grandma He Qi to such a person, which was actually an exaggeration, but she was just angry and said it without thinking too much.

After she finished speaking all at once, she realized that she had said too much. She wondered if Zhao Wan would think she was meddling in other people's business.

She carefully glanced at Zhao Wan's face, and met her smiling eyes.

There was no need to say anything. Su Yan knew Zhao Wan's attitude and had the confidence to fight Grandma He Qi.

It was hard to say whether he was speaking out for justice or for Zhao Wan, but Su Yan's blood was boiling at this moment, and he was determined to teach this old woman a lesson.

Isn't this just bullying others by pretending to be a mother-in-law? She wants to see if she still has the courage to do the same thing openly after seeing such a self-destructive example in front of her!

Facts have proven that Grandma He Qi is indeed a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. She has used all her means in the backyard all her life, and she would not dare to act recklessly when encountering something that could affect the reputation of the entire family.

Therefore, he did not dare to respond to Su Yan's ridicule at this moment, and only shouted that Su Yan was an uneducated country girl who had no respect for his elders.

Su Yan originally thought about what she would say and was prepared for a big fight.

She didn't expect Grandma He Qi to be so useless. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to let Zhao Wan take the blame again.

She smiled contemptuously, "I heard that Seventh Grandma was illiterate and it turned out to be true. I have never heard of a loving mother and a filial son. In this world, elders are always kind and decent, and the younger generation will respect and love them. As the saying goes, if the relatives have made mistakes, they should be advised. The emperor even reflected on himself when he encountered the upright censor's advice. Seventh Grandma is incredible. A junior's advice is considered uneducated. It seems that you are more powerful than the emperor!"

This sentence was full of sarcasm. Grandma He Qi opened her mouth but didn't know how to refute. She was so angry that she covered her chest and said, "You...you..."

As he spoke he seemed to be out of breath, rolled his eyes and fainted.

He Ying also cooperated with the maid to support Grandma He Qi's limp body, and turned around to glare at Su Yan and Zhao Wan, as if the old and the young were bullied by two people in their prime.

As expected, the first thing she said was a question, "My grandmother is so old, and you two young people actually made her faint!"

Su Yan wanted to sneer and pretend to faint?

If the old woman had argued with her properly today, she wouldn't have said anything.

He actually wanted to use such a despicable trick to force people to bow their heads.

Su Yan was the type of person who would rather be soft-hearted than tough. Grandma He Qi's pretending to faint made her laugh out of anger.

I immediately decided not to tolerate anything anymore and to fight this old woman to the end.

If she gave in today, Zhao Wan wouldn't know how she would bully her when she left.

It just so happens that Zhao Wan suffers from her mother-in-law's bullying at home every day. If she can get hold of her mother-in-law's big handle this time, she will see how she will have the nerve to bully Zhao Wan in the future.

Su Yan immediately pretended not to see through Grandma He Qi's poor acting skills, pretending to be panicked, but still trying to be calm, "I just said a few words, Grandma Qi is not angry with me."

Although he said the words of denial, his tone softened appropriately.

He Ying saw that Su Yan's tone was weak and she no longer had the momentum she had just now. She thought she was really scared, so she immediately raised her voice, "If it's not you, then who else could it be? Oh, and Zhao, you are the ones who made my grandmother faint. My grandmother has always been in poor health and has been taking medicine all year round. If anything happens to her this time, my grandfather and my father will not let you go when they come back."

Su Yan looked at Zhao Wan in panic, winked at her, and said in a trembling voice, "Who knew your grandmother was ill? This is none of my business. She fell down on her own."

Zhao Wan received the signal and immediately lowered her head, pretending to be at a loss and leaning towards Hongxiu, taking the opportunity to whisper a few words.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos when no one was paying attention to this side, he asked Hongxiu to send the maid out to get help.

He Ying really didn't notice the maid leaving, she just continued to cry loudly, "Grandma, Grandma, wake up! Are you okay, grandma? You must hold on. If you leave Hui and me alone, how are we going to live in the future?"

Su Yan seemed to be frightened and anxiously stepped forward to confirm, but was quickly pushed away by He Ying.

Grandma He Qi's acting skills were on point and she twitched twice on the spot, looking like she was so angry that she became seriously ill and was about to die at any time.
