The worry that his wife had been treated too harshly was put to rest, and the shame that had been suppressed surged up in his heart.

The clan has been concerned about his family affairs over the years, and his eldest sister-in-law has asked him to take care of the family more than once.

Some time ago, he solemnly assured his sister-in-law that his wife had changed for the better despite her age.

Something like this happened again today and slapped him in the face.

What’s more important is that if he is not careful, it may even drag down the entire family. How can he face his sister-in-law then?

Therefore, when he heard his sister-in-law mention the punishment of Grandma He Qi, he paused and made up his mind not to let her off lightly. "This old woman is getting more and more confused as she gets older. Today, she almost brought down the whole family by doing such a thing. My sister-in-law is generous and forgives her this time, but the country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. She must be punished."

"Going to the temple to practice is too conspicuous. Outsiders will talk about it even if they don't understand."

"I will have someone set up a courtyard for her and let her stay at home to practice Buddhism for five years. Her food and clothing will be the same as those of the nuns in the temple. She will not be allowed to go out except during the New Year or other festivals."

Grandma He Qi looked incredulous and wailed, "Master——"

Grandpa He Qi: "Shut up, you caused this trouble yourself, so you have to bear the consequences yourself. Since you have the guts to do such a thing, you should know what the consequences will be!"

He Qiong wanted to speak up to persuade them, but after hearing this, she didn't dare to say anything.

At least I'm in my own home, which is much better than going home.

The clan leader's wife also nodded with satisfaction. This punishment was too severe for an old lady who was about to turn sixty.

To be honest, Grandma He Qi is old and it’s not certain whether she can live another five years.

Of course, being locked up at home is definitely not as strict and hard as being in the temple, but the feeling is enough to make Grandma He Qi feel very uncomfortable.

Grandfather He: "As for the household chores, Zhao, I'll leave it to you."

He was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, who was well-mannered and sensible, much better than his previous wife's niece.

He knew that Zhao Wan usually had bad relations with his wife and had suffered many losses at the hands of his wife.

But he believed that with her intelligence, she would not do anything to him at this juncture.

After all, no matter how useless a wife is, she is still her mother-in-law.

If she treated her badly, she would drown her with her saliva.

Besides, he only has one son and this is his only daughter-in-law.

Who else could he give the household expenses to if not her? He couldn't let his concubines do it, could he? That would mean his family is truly devoid of moral principles.

Zhao Wan nodded in agreement, but did not say that she would definitely do a good job. It was not appropriate to say anything in this occasion.

The clan leader's wife expressed satisfaction with this and didn't even look at the pale and red faces of Grandma He Qi and He Ying.

After dealing with one troublemaker, the clan leader's wife couldn't help but look at the other one calmly.

This person is no pushover either. She can make a big fuss about other people's family affairs, and the key is that she really makes it happen in the end.

She had already realized by now that she was being used as a gun today.

But even if she understood, she couldn't say anything - it was Grandmother He who came to invite her personally today.

What could she say? That Grandmother He shouldn't have invited her? Or that Su Yan shouldn't have made such a big deal out of it?

Things have come to this point, and she doesn't want to say anything to offend anyone for no reason.

Grandma He is not as disliked as Grandma He Qi. She has a very high status in the clan.

She certainly couldn't do anything to her, and she didn't want to do anything to her.

Compared with Grandma He Qi, of course Grandma He has the best relationship with her, and to be honest, Grandma He Qi's lawless temper really needs to be educated.

Besides, when she was young, she disdained harboring filth and dirt, otherwise how did the punishment of the Eighth Family come about?

It was because she had grown older these years that she no longer lost her temper easily. Wasn't it because she saw how she was that Grandma He Qi dared to act so recklessly again and again?

Su Yan's current look of being unable to tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes is very similar to when she was young.

Not only was she reluctant to blame him, she also felt a little appreciative.

Finally, I have to sigh that the new generation pushes the old generation forward.

This Su Yan is really amazing. It has only been a short time since she got married, but she has already firmly grasped Grandmother He and He An.

If this incident happened to someone else today, even if Grandma He didn't think she had done anything wrong, she might still feel that she was meddling in other people's family affairs.

But when it comes to Su Yan, He's grandmother is anxious to ask her for help, fearing that her granddaughter-in-law will suffer any loss in He Qi's family.

Alas, comparison is the thief of anger. If the other granddaughters-in-law of He's grandmother knew about this, I wonder how jealous they would be.

As for Su Yan, she could only hope that she could live a good life with An in the future and not cause any trouble.

Otherwise, if she continued to act so recklessly and get angry on the spot, she might be more difficult to deal with than Grandma He Qi.

After this incident, I guess Grandma He Qi will have to take a detour whenever she sees her.

It can be said that there is always someone who can conquer you. Over the years, many people have tried to persuade her with earnest words and many great principles, but she just won't listen.

This time she met a stubborn guy who would do it without saying anything. She fell into his hands and saw if she would dare to do it again in the future.

After the matter was dealt with, no one was in the mood to say anything and they dispersed immediately.

Su Yan followed behind Grandmother He and watched the clan leader's wife leave.

He turned around and gave Zhao Wan a look that said "don't worry", then he and He An helped He's grandmother leave.

Grandpa He Jiu looked at the mess in the yard and couldn't help but feel tired. "Okay, Zhao, go clean up Yixiang Garden and have your mother move there tomorrow. We'll talk about the rest later."

After saying this, he walked out without even looking at his wife.

When Grandma He Qi saw his back going away, she dared to cry loudly to her son, "What kind of fate is this for me? I am so old, and I have to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures all by myself. How am I going to live in the future?"

He Qiong also couldn't bear to let his mother go there, but today's matter had already been reported to the clan leader's wife and second aunt, and if he didn't go, the punishment would be even more severe.

Grandma He Qi obviously knew all this, but she was just trying to make a last-ditch effort without giving up.

Now that I see that there is nothing I can do about my son, my heart plummets.

He glanced at Zhao Wan and immediately became furious. "It's all your fault. If you hadn't invited Su Wan to our house today, how could this have happened? Son, it's all this bitch's fault. It's all this bitch who harmed me!"

Zhao Wan knew this would happen, and her expression didn't change. She just explained in a serious tone, "Mother, I really don't know anything about Master Xun. This matter was handled by Master. If Hui Ge'er really has any misunderstandings with Master Xun, you can ask Master to invite Master Xun back to explain it clearly. Why do you have to say that it was my daughter-in-law who drove him away?"

When He Qiong heard that it was for this, she sighed.

He was the one who took care of his son's teacher affairs, so naturally someone also reported to him that Master Xun was driven away by his son today.
