At the Huo family, Ning Xue had not returned for two days, and Huo Beixuan had not returned home either. He was completely unaware that Ning Xue was not at the Huo family.

On this day, Huo Beixuan finally returned home.

As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted with a violent scolding from Mother Huo.

Huo's mother was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Huo Beixuan's nose and said loudly: "Are you two planning to live outside? How dare you think of dividing the family? You have only been married for a few days? You don't even go home. It's simply disrespectful!"

Huo Beixuan was a little confused by his mother's sudden anger. It was not until this moment that he realized that Ning Xue was not at the Chu family.

"How can there be such a bride? Ah! You are too outrageous!" Huo's mother continued to scold them relentlessly.

In the past, when the couple did not live and eat at the Huo family, Huo's mother was actually secretly happy about it, because after all, she could save a lot of money on food and lamp oil.

But now, Huo's mother is secretly competing with Ning Xue. Ning Xue is avoiding living outside, and Huo's mother feels that she is not taken seriously at all, and the anger in her heart is growing more and more intense.

She had been eagerly hoping that Ning Xue would bow to her, give her some filial money, and then she would generously allow Ning Xue to leave the house freely.

Who would have thought that after returning home, even Ning Xue's shadow could not be seen.

Huo Beixuan hurriedly tried to calm his mother down and said, "Mom, my wife needs to manage the shop and run the business on weekdays. It's really difficult to keep her from going out!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huo was furious and raised her voice, shouting, "Embarrassing? She couldn't even greet me! Am I not embarrassed? Did she tell me when she was going out? I haven't seen her since the day of the tea ceremony. How do I know that she went out to take care of business? If she really wanted to, she should have come and told me!"

Mother Huo became angrier and angrier as she spoke, venting all the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for the past few days.

"Your wife is capable, so you should follow her outside and don't come back to this house!" Mother Huo continued to yell.

"You've read so many books, have you become stupid and don't even care about your parents? You only care about eating well and living well?" Huo Beixuan's face instantly turned extremely ugly after hearing what his mother said.

If word got out that Huo's mother had accused him of being "unfilial", it would be very detrimental to his reputation.

"Mother, that's not the case. I'll go find her right away!" Huo Beixuan knew the seriousness of the matter and didn't dare to make any more excuses. He quickly turned around and left the Huo family to look for Ning Xue's whereabouts.

Mother Huo looked at Huo Beixuan's hurriedly departing back, sneered, and thought to herself: They'd better come back with generous gifts to apologize, otherwise, she will never let this matter go easily!

Huo Beixuan asked along the way and finally found Ning Xue in Cuiyu Pavilion.

When the shopkeeper saw that it was Huo Beixuan, he stopped him out of courtesy and did not let him go in directly. Instead, he went in and asked Ning Xue to come out.

Huo Beixuan felt it was inconvenient to talk in public. When he saw Ning Xue coming out, he grabbed her sleeve without saying a word and pulled her into the corridor behind Cuiyu Pavilion.

"Ning Xue, what on earth are you doing? What exactly do you want to do if you don't go back to the Huo family?" Huo Beixuan asked sternly with his eyes wide open.

Ning Xue's expression was extremely cold. She said calmly, "You think I'm dirty, so why would I go back? Am I going to dirty your bed and room?"

"you!"

Huo Beixuan was instantly filled with anger when he heard this. He glared at Ning Xue fiercely and could not help but scold her, "On our wedding night, I could have just endured it, but now you are breaking up with me. You act so ostentatiously and don't care about causing trouble at all. You are completely different from me who cares about face."

Huo Beixuan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "Come back with me!"

Ning Xue sneered without hesitation, "No!"

Huo Beixuan's eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief: "Are you crazy? You are a newly married woman, living alone outside, don't you care about your reputation?"

Ning Xue raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "I just don't care, so what? I am also embarrassing the Huo family now. My family has ignored me for a long time. Can't you see that? Now, only your father still takes me seriously."

Ning Xue raised a mocking smile and continued, "You can tell your shameless mother that she can make trouble if she wants to. Not only did she steal my dowry, but she also gave us vegetables and tofu as meals every day. To be honest, I'm not afraid of her making trouble!"

"Oh! By the way, you don't even let me go out. Do you think I'm her? I stay in this little house all day long. I have a shop to run and friends to visit!"

Ning Xue finished speaking in one breath, not giving Huo Beixuan any chance to interrupt.

After saying that, Ning Xue didn't even look at Huo Beixuan's expression. She turned around and went into the accounting office, closing the door with a bang.

Huo Beixuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stood at the door with a livid face. He stared at the closed door with rage and stayed there for a long time.

But in the end, he was too embarrassed to beg Ning Xue, so he could only throw his sleeves away in hatred and leave.

Ning Xue stayed in the account office for a while, and her mood gradually calmed down. She called Hongdou and said, "Hongdou, go to the brothel and find a virgin girl. Huo Beixuan's mother is really annoying. Find something for her to do so that she won't always bother us. Go and do it quickly!"

There was a hint of ruthlessness in Ning Xue's eyes. Her patience with Huo's mother had reached its limit. If Huo's mother didn't want her to have an easy life, then Huo's mother herself would never have peace. At worst, they would fight to the death. Who's afraid of who?

"You need one with a prettier appearance. It doesn't matter if you spend a little more money on her. It'd be best if she's the kind that makes me feel pity for her, the kind that men can't bear to scold them at first sight!" Ning Xue instructed Hongdou carefully.

Hongdou nodded, not quite understanding, and turned to leave. But after a few steps, she turned back and said with difficulty: "Miss, how about you go! The money has been spent, and I'm afraid I won't be able to choose what you like!"

Ning Xue sighed softly and said helplessly: "Forget it! I'll go by myself! You! You don't even understand the relationship between men and women."

After saying that, Ning Xue stood up, secretly thinking in her heart that this time she must pick a woman who can charm Mr. Huo and make Mother Huo so angry that she has no time to trouble her. Thinking of Mother Huo's arrogant and domineering look, she quickened her pace, determined to make Mother Huo taste the bad taste!

She wanted to let Mrs. Huo know that she, Ning Xue, was not someone to be messed with!
