The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

"Mother, what is this? You have to give your daughter-in-law an explanation."

"Madam, Madam, I didn't want this to happen either, wow, today was really an accident..."

When Mu Lianzhi entered the room, she saw Jiang wiping tears with an angry look on her face. Sang Xi was kneeling on the ground with disheveled hair and obvious slap marks on her face. It was obvious that she had been beaten up.

The old lady sat in the main seat, her eyes slightly closed, one hand on her forehead, her face solemn, and she also looked like she had a headache.

The two younger men who were sitting on one side of Jiang's house also had unhappy expressions. Only Ling Yuchi on the other side had a dull expression and his attitude could not be seen.

"Huh? What happened again?"

After looking around in astonishment, Mu Lianzhi slowly stepped forward. Before she could finish her greeting, a teacup shattered in front of her with a "bang":

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as the old lady's furious voice came out, Mu Lianzhi knew that the anger was directed at her. She raised her eyebrows barely noticeably, but she just took a step back:

"Mother? I wonder what my daughter-in-law has done wrong again?"

boom!

The old lady patted the wooden table next to her again:

"How dare you say that? If Wen Zhan hadn't been so devoted and persistent in loving you, do you think you would be qualified to marry into my mansion in your lifetime? But what about you? You are simply a dead end."

"My son was killed right after he walked in, and now he still has no sense of the overall situation!"

"Why did Wen Zhan fall in love with a useless piece of shit like you?"

"Don't you know that the Marquis's Mansion is now supported by the first wife's family? You are the second wife, and as a widow, you don't have much influence. Today, things have become like this. I have hinted and hinted, but you don't know how to come out and take the blame and get rid of the first wife?"

"Saving your eldest brother means saving the first wife, and saving the first wife means saving the entire mansion."

"Now, I have lost all my face."

"Three years ago, I was not optimistic about your marriage. You are not a good match. If Wen Zhan had not insisted on marrying you... it is really useless at the critical moment. People from small families are not good enough."

Haha~

You are lying with your eyes open. At this time, you are still using Ling Wenzhan's worthless "love" to morally blackmail her?

The original owner was probably PUA'd by them step by step!

It’s really pitiful that the original owner was so sincere.

He sneered in his heart, but on the surface, Mu Lianzhi pretended to be shocked and opened his mouth a little wider:

"Mother, so this is what you really mean?"

She answered the question with an affirmative tone, and then she lowered her eyes and sighed, seeming to be sad and regretful:

"My daughter-in-law had some feelings at the time but was afraid that she might have misunderstood me. How could she dare to act rashly in front of so many guests? To be on the safe side, she wanted to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. She did not dare to interfere in the affairs of the eldest wife without authorization and tried her best to distance herself from them."

"It is precisely because of my husband's deep love for me that I don't want others to think that I am vicious. Even if he is gone, I don't want people to think that my husband loves the wrong person."

"Not to mention that it's my aunt's yard, and there are my aunt's people everywhere inside and outside the house. Even many of the things and supplies are not clear to my daughter-in-law, so if I rashly accept them, I'm afraid I won't be able to justify myself."

"Even if what Big Brother did today was slightly inappropriate, it's not wrong! Didn't he just do what every man would do when he was impulsive? Even if someone saw him, so what?"

"He is with his aunt. He didn't force himself on her, nor did he have an affair with an outsider. At most, he lost his composure, but he didn't lose his moral integrity. How can the Marquisate be embarrassed? Even if this is exposed, it is still our family affair, isn't it?"

"Isn't it natural and human nature for my eldest brother to be with my aunt? Mother, if your daughter-in-law admits her fault, then there is something wrong with the moral character of our mansion!"

"The daughter-in-law doesn't understand why my mother and sister-in-law are so angry and insist on having the daughter-in-law recognize him?"

"My daughter-in-law is stupid and still hasn't come to her senses. Please enlighten me, mother."

Raising his pure eyes, Mu Lianzhi still looked stupid, made a mistake and confused, but his questions left everyone speechless and with different expressions.

The old lady's expression was visibly relieved, Ling Yuchi's limp body straightened up a lot, and Sang Xi's eyes lit up as if she saw hope. Only Jiang was truly traumatized both physically and mentally, unable to express her pain.

Just at this moment, Mu Lianzhi's eyes, seeking answers, glanced around and timidly fell on her:

"Sister-in-law?"

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Jiang slammed the table and stood up:

"What do you know?"

When Jiang thought about how she had planned to sacrifice the reputation of the first wife for more than ten years in order to protect the bloodline of the second wife, but in the end, it became a reality and she lost her husband, she was furious:

"You are just an idiot! This vixen, this ungrateful wolf is..."

Pointing at Sang Xi and glaring at Mu Lianzhi, Jiang Shi started cursing uncontrollably. When the truth came out of her mouth, the old lady and Ling Yuchi shouted at the same time:

"Jiang——"

"Are you done yet? I've had enough of you!"

In a hurry, the old lady stood up from the chair. Ling Yuchi raised his leg and kicked Jiang without any hesitation, kicking her back two steps and knocking her directly onto a chair on the side.

"Hmm~"

With a muffled groan, tears instantly filled her eyes, but Jiang bit her lips and looked at the opposite side with some disbelief.

However, what responded to her was Ling Yuchi's fierce glare and the old lady's mild rebuke:

"Yuchi, a gentleman should use his mouth instead of his hands. What are you doing?"

As expected, you will never feel the pain unless the knife falls on your own body.

What the hell is going on? Are they already in internal strife?

Without ignoring the looks and attitudes of several people, Mu Lianzhi suddenly realized that Ling Yuchi was not as stupid as he seemed. At least he knew the interests involved and knew what was important.

The selfishness and cold-bloodedness of the Marquis's family are in their bones, and they have always been directed at outsiders. In the past, it was her, and now it is Jiang. When there is a real conflict of interest, she is not much better.

After watching the good show, she slowly stepped forward to finish off the enemy:

"Sister-in-law, I know that my brother's recklessness today may have upset you, but don't take it out on me. You are the principal wife and you should behave like a principal wife. Why are you arguing with a concubine?"

"Besides, now that Auntie has come in, won't Big Brother spend the night in her room sooner or later?"

"You are so hypocritical. No wonder the good-tempered elder brother got angry."

"What's the big deal?"

"A harmonious family brings prosperity, mother, is what your daughter-in-law said right?"

This is how they convinced the original owner in the previous life. The boomerang must taste good.

Looking up, Jiang was so angry that she almost vomited blood. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door:

"Madam, sir, the Ministry of Rites has sent someone to deliver the palace's oral order—"

Several people tidied their appearance and hurried out. Mu Lianzhi deliberately walked at the end. Looking at Sang Xi who staggered to her feet and breathed a sigh of relief, she smiled coldly:

"Auntie Sang, you just avoided the first day of the new year. You don't think that's the end, do you?"

W-what do you mean?
