He pushed away He Qiong who stepped forward to mediate the quarrel, and slapped He Qi's grandmother a few times, "If you make trouble again, I will send you back home according to the clan rules. It just so happens that my eldest sister-in-law is here today, and you have brought shame to the He family by doing such a thing. I will send you back to the Lin family, and I will also go to your ancestral hall to ask your parents-in-law how they taught their daughter to make my family so restless."

These days, people regard death as the most important thing. Burning incense and questioning a person who has passed away is much more serious than sending him/her back to his/her parents' home.

We are bound to become enemies.

Grandpa He Qi was so angry that he spoke without restraint. In fact, he really had no intention of asking about his parents-in-law's spirit tablets.

But Grandma He Qi didn't know that she was shocked by Grandpa He Qi's cruel words.

If he really asked her in her mother's ancestral hall, not to mention whether she would live or die, there would be no place to accept her.

Only then did she realize that the matter had really gotten out of hand and it wasn't like in the past when she could just make a fuss about it.

His body went limp and he fell to the ground, sobbing, not daring to say a word.

He Qiong even knelt down and begged his father to reconsider.

Once He Qiong knelt, Zhao Wan could no longer stand there and knelt down as well.

Behind them, He Ying and the He family's servants all knelt on the ground.

There was silence for a moment, and no one spoke.

It was the clan leader's wife who broke the silence, and she was the only one who could speak at this time.

Although she knew that Grandpa He Qi had deliberately given her a harsh punishment just to wait for her to stop it, the next punishment would not be so severe.

But understanding these little thoughts was one thing, but she really couldn't just watch the He family attack the Lin family.

They are all well-known families in the county. If they really make trouble, it will be a matter that concerns the reputation of the entire family and the fight will end to the death.

And to be honest, she believed that Grandpa He Qi was completely unaware of this matter.

At most, it was discovered later, and for the sake of the He family's reputation, they had to cover up for Grandma He Qi.

Thinking of Grandpa He Qi who has been cleaning up Grandma He Qi's mess for so many years, all kinds of emotions surged in my heart.

With so many people in the clan, it's normal for them to quarrel when they are young.

But when you get older and understand how to deal with people, you will naturally become more stable.

It is unique that there are endless quarrels and unrest in the family like Grandpa He Qi's.

The family had no peace. He Qi was obviously six years younger than He Er (He's grandfather), but he looked like he was more than six years older than him.

Her gaze turned to Zhao Wan. Fortunately, this niece-in-law was a good person.

How many people wanted to marry her back then? If it wasn't for some coincidence, how could He Qiong have gotten the advantage?

You still don't cherish it.

He Qi can't control his wife, and he is even less able to control his son He Qiong.

If things are allowed to continue like this, sooner or later the He Qi family will get into big trouble because of Grandma He Qi.

In that case, let’s help Zhao Wan.

From now on, she will be in charge of the Heqi family, and the clan will have to worry less about them.

After thinking about it and considering all aspects of the situation, the clan leader's wife spoke slowly, "What happened today is unprecedented in the clan. If I didn't know about it, it would be fine. You can make a fuss in your own family. I won't care even if it causes separation between you and your family."

"But now that I know about it, I can't just let it go. The morals of the tribe cannot be corrupted, and the tribe will not tolerate such despicable means."

He Qiong was shocked when she heard this. She knelt down and walked forward to beg, "Aunt, aunt, my mother didn't mean it. Please forgive her for her age and the hard work she has done for the He family all her life. Please, aunt, my mother is so old. If she returns home, she will have no way to survive!"

Grandpa He Qi also looked reluctant. After all, they had been married for many years, how could they have no feelings for each other?

He Ying was so frightened that she trembled all over and collapsed to the ground.

She had been hanging around in the He family's backyard since she was a child, and her horizons were limited to the He family's inner courtyard. She had no idea of ​​the world outside.

She thought that in the He family, Grandmother He was the elder and had power, and Father He usually respected her, so she could do whatever she wanted.

What's wrong with accusing someone or pretending to be sick?

As long as no one exposes it openly, whatever her grandmother says is the truth.

It has been like this for so many years, why has it changed today?

Although the feigned illness this time is more serious than in the past, it is still the same method as before.

How did the situation suddenly become so serious that I had to be deported back home?

He Ying couldn't figure it out, and no one taught her normal values.

In this world, it has become the norm for mothers-in-law to oppress their daughters-in-law. It is common for them to set rules, but these cannot be made public.

Take taking care of the sick for example. When the mother-in-law is sick, the daughter-in-law naturally has to take care of her. This is a legitimate reason and can be justified anywhere.

Even though everyone knew that the mother-in-law might just want to make trouble for her daughter-in-law, she had already taken control of Dali, so there was nothing the emperor could do even if he came.

This was also the reason why Grandma He Qi chose to pretend to be sick but was never exposed.

As long as she gets sick because of Zhao Wan, she will have taken advantage of Dali.

Zhao Wan had made a huge mistake, so even if the Zhao family came, they would have to apologize together with Zhao Wan.

However, it would be fine if these privacy measures in the inner house were not exposed. Once exposed, any of them would ruin the family's reputation.

Just imagine which mother would be willing to let her daughter marry into a family with such a mother-in-law. Even in this era, collective punishment is practiced, which may bring a bad reputation to the whole family.

Then how can the young men of marriageable age in their tribe gain a foothold in the county’s marriage market?

Will the daughters of their clan be subject to the groundless assertion that "Birds of a feather flock together" and that they might also be such troublemakers?

It’s all because Grandma He Qi was too arrogant and put the matter on the table without hiding anything.

In order to accuse Zhao Wan of a greater crime, he pretended to be so angry that he was dying.

If you hit a wall and make a big fuss, you have to accept the punishment.

The clan leader's wife looked at Grandma He Qi, whose face was as pale as paper. She no longer had her former spirit and sat on the ground at a loss.

Her face also had the old look that only people of her age have, as if she had aged several years in an instant.

I sighed deeply, I couldn't bear it.

Moreover, today’s incident really cannot be made a big deal, and it must be kept secret within the He family.

If any news leaks out, the reputation of the entire He family will be tarnished.

"Everyone knows the right and wrong of today's incident, and the clan rules clearly state how to punish her!" Seeing that Grandma He Qi's face was as pale as paper, she couldn't bear to say too much, so she changed the subject, "But legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. After all, you have been married to the He family for so many years. Apart from anything else, you have contributed to giving birth to children."

"For the sake of my younger generation, I will not bring this matter to the clan for the time being. But——"

The clan leader's wife turned to look at He Qi, "This matter cannot be let go so easily. Otherwise, if everyone does this, the reputation that the He family has worked hard to build for hundreds of years will be destroyed in an instant."

When Grandpa He Qi heard that his wife's case would not be brought to the clan for judgment, he knew that the clan leader's wife was soft-hearted and wanted to let her go.
