Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

Yongchang Bofu.

In Old Lady Yan's backyard, there are green trees and the fragrance of flowers.

The three daughters-in-law lined up in order, standing respectfully in front of the old lady with humble expressions.

They were the eldest daughter-in-law, Ms. Lin, the second daughter-in-law, Ms. Zhao, and the third daughter-in-law, Ms. Li. Each of them was dressed elegantly but could not hide her nervousness.

Old Lady Yan sat on an exquisite rattan chair, her eyes sharp and deep, she nodded slightly, motioning everyone to sit down. The three daughters-in-law sat down carefully, their backs straight, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"Sister-in-law, tell me first, has there been any omissions in the family affairs these days?" Old Mrs. Yan's voice was calm and powerful. She looked at Lin with expectation in her eyes.

Lin coughed lightly, straightened her clothes, and then slowly said, "Mother, ever since you were unwell, I have personally taken care of all the family affairs, big and small, and have not dared to slack off in the slightest. I have arranged the expenses of the mansion, the management of the servants, and the children's studies in an orderly manner. It's just that..."

Old Lady Yan's eyes flashed with approval, and she smiled and said, "Just what?"

"It's just that my second and third sister-in-law just got married into the family not long ago. They are not familiar enough with the family rules and affairs, and sometimes there are some omissions." Lin said cautiously, turning her eyes to Zhao and Li.

Zhao's face showed shame, and she hurriedly said, "Mother, I know I still have many shortcomings, but I will study hard. Please rest assured that I will become a qualified daughter-in-law of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion."

Old Madam Yan nodded slightly and turned to Li: "What about you?"

Li smiled slightly and said calmly: "Mother, although I am new here, I will integrate into this big family as soon as possible and try my best to do my duty."

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Old Lady Yan's eyes. She gently patted the armrest of the rattan chair and said, "Very good. I know you are all virtuous women, but the house rules of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion cannot be ignored. You must always remember that this is our home, not yours."

The three daughters-in-law's faces changed slightly when they heard this, but they quickly adjusted themselves and responded in unison: "That's what mother taught us."

Old Lady Yan added, "Sister-in-law, as the eldest sister-in-law, you must set an example and lead them to better manage household affairs. As for the three of you, you must also support each other and make progress together."

Lin and others nodded quickly to show that they would obey your order.

At this time, Old Lady Yan turned her gaze to Li, revealing a trace of concern in her eyes: "Third daughter-in-law, I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently. Are you feeling better?"

Li smiled slightly and said, "Mother, I am much better now. Thank you for your concern."

Old Lady Yan sighed softly and said, "I know you are all having a hard time, but as the daughter-in-law of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, you must be strong. The honor and disgrace of the mansion, the rise and fall, are all closely related to you."

The expressions of the three daughters-in-law became solemn. They knew that what Old Lady Yan said was of great weight, and they also understood the responsibilities they shouldered.

Old Lady Yan suddenly mentioned the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Lu Yundi, and sneered, "The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery has no manners and dared to argue with the princess. Fortunately, something happened to the princess. If nothing happened, she would have suffered the consequences."

Lin's eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She suppressed her anger and spoke carefully, "Mother, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is also a royal relative after all. She is not necessarily unbecoming when arguing with the eldest princess."

Old Madam Yan glared at Lin and sneered, "Are you defending Lu Yundi? Don't forget, you are the eldest daughter-in-law of my Yongchang Earl's Mansion. Your identity represents the honor of the entire family. You want to speak for this ignorant person?"

Lin blushed, lowered her head quickly, and said no more. Seeing this, the second daughter-in-law Zhao cautiously interrupted and said, "Mother, you are right. The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is indeed a bit too much. But we should not forget that the eldest princess is also a member of the royal family. She may have her reasons for arguing with the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."

Old Madam Yan frowned and looked at Zhao with dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? Do you think the eldest princess did something wrong?"

Zhao was shocked and quickly explained: "Mother, that's not what I meant. I just think that we should look at this matter objectively and not jump to conclusions."

Old Lady Yan snorted and turned to her third daughter-in-law, Li: "What about you? What do you think about this matter?"

Li secretly sighed in her heart. She knew that no matter how she answered this question, it would be difficult to satisfy Old Lady Yan. But she still said, "Mother, I think what Zhao said makes sense. As the daughter-in-law of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion, we should stand on the family's standpoint and look at this matter objectively."

Old Madam Yan's expression became increasingly ugly. She said coldly, "You three are getting more and more daring to contradict me. Have you forgotten that I am your mother-in-law and the master of this family? How dare you defend an outsider in front of me? This is outrageous!"

The three of them felt nervous and knelt down to ask for forgiveness from Old Lady Yan. Old Lady Yan looked at them coldly and secretly sighed in her heart: These three daughters-in-law are all smart and sensible, but they have their own ideas, which makes it difficult for her, the mother-in-law, to control them.

After a moment of silence, Old Lady Yan finally spoke: "Since you all think I'm wrong, I won't pursue this matter any further. But you must remember that in future family affairs, you must follow my arrangements and not express your opinions without authorization."

The three of them quickly agreed, secretly relieved. Old Lady Yan looked at them, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and then she turned and left.

After Old Lady Yan walked away, the three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Lin gently patted Zhao and Li on the shoulders and said, "We have finally survived this. Next, we must be more careful and not make our mother angry again."

Zhao and Li nodded in agreement.

However, Old Lady Yan seemed to be getting more and more harsh on them. Not only was she picky about many things, she even found fault with their daily diet and daily life.

On this day, Old Lady Yan suddenly called the three of them together and said sternly, "I heard you say behind my back that I was mistreating you, is that right?"

The three of them turned pale with fear and quickly knelt down to deny it, saying, "Mother, we never meant that. Please understand."

Old Lady Yan looked at them coldly: "If that's the case, then you must behave more filially and let me see your sincerity. Otherwise, I will never let you go easily."

The three of them secretly groaned in their hearts, but for the sake of their families, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and persevere.

They served Old Lady Yan even more carefully, even to the point of being harsh.

However, Old Lady Yan became increasingly dissatisfied. She often lost her temper in front of the three men, blaming them for not being filial enough.

Just then, an unexpected news came, giving the three people hope.

It turned out that the eldest princess suddenly became seriously ill, and the emperor ordered the three daughters-in-law of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion to enter the palace to take care of the eldest princess.
