My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"Since mother agrees with my idea..."

Wen Qiqi said while the topic was hot: "We won't hold a moon-viewing and flower-viewing banquet this Mid-Autumn Festival. We'll only make two kinds of mooncake fillings, five for each room, ten for my mother's room, and three for Shengshi! It would be better to replace the plum wine with corn wine."

"what?"

Old Madam Lu really suspected that there was something wrong with her ears!

"Mei'er, did I hear you right?"

"You heard it right, madam, that's what you meant. That's what you just said to me."

Aunt Mei said as she rubbed Madam Lu's shoulders.

Madam Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over. Aunt Mei was happy in her heart, but she pretended to be very worried and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. Madam made this decision for the good of the Lu family."

"What do you mean by good for the Lu family? Wen Qiqi, you are slapping our Lu family's face!"

Lu Shengshi walked out of Old Madam Lu's room and looked at Wen Qiqi with a cold eye, as if she wanted to eat her alive to vent her anger.

"How much does it cost to make mooncakes? How much does it cost to brew plum wine? You know that mother invites old lady Qin and old lady Yu to come over every year to enjoy the flowers, the moon and plum wine, but you said you won't brew wine this year? Are you deliberately trying to make the two old ladies laugh at mother? Or do you want outsiders to say that our Lu family is struggling to make ends meet?"

Lu Shengshi's words were blunt and forceful.

Old Madam Lu showed a hidden smile on her face. Lu Zhanyao said that she was the mother-in-law and should be considerate and not offend Wen Qiqi too much. But Sheng Shi was different. She was just an unmarried sister-in-law. Even if she and Wen Qiqi fought, as long as she tried to persuade them, the Wen family would not be able to reason with her.

Ever since Wen Qiqi married into the Lu family, what she feared most was this fierce sister-in-law.

Lu Shengshi stood in front of her: "If I don't say anything, you will think that there is no one in our Lu family, right?"

"The Lu family is so prosperous, how could there be no one left? Sheng Shi, don't you feel it's taboo to say these things?"

Wen Qiqi smiled coldly and continued, "Let's not talk about right or wrong. Did you talk to me in the tone of a younger sister-in-law talking to her sister-in-law? Those who know me know that I am the legitimate wife of your Lu family. Those who don't know me would think that I am a slave that you and your daughter can summon and dismiss at will!"

She stared at Lu Shengshi in front of her without any fear, her eyes full of disgust and sarcasm.

"A sister-in-law, you don't behave like a girl should. You act like a mistress all day and scold this and that. Sheng Shi, let me advise you, you have some abilities, but no matter how talented a person is, there is no need to show off!"

Everyone in the mansion knew that Lu Shengshi was arrogant and domineering. Wen Qiqi's words were absolutely right. The maids looked at each other and nodded secretly.

"You haven't even married yet. If others knew about your shrewish personality, which family would marry you as the mistress? Mother just said that the family should be harmonious. If you marry like this... which family can be harmonious?"

"Leave me alone!"

Lu Shengshi's soft spot was directly hit, and he immediately became angry and embarrassed.

If Wen Qiqi wasn't from a high-class family and the Wen family wasn't someone they couldn't afford to offend, she really wanted to tear the mouth in front of her apart!

The war was about to break out, but Wen Qiqi suddenly laughed.

"Mother, I don't know what the rules are in your Lu family, but in our Wen family... and in all the houses in Kyoto, the elder brother and the younger sister-in-law are the most important! As Sheng Shi's legitimate elder sister-in-law, don't I have the right to say anything to her?"

Madam Lu couldn't just sit there and not talk at this point.

If Wen Qiqi really competes with Sheng Shi and tells her mother's family about the fierce sister-in-law in the Lu family, word will spread like wildfire. Sheng Shi will be of marriageable age soon, and it will be difficult for her to find a suitable husband.

"You're right, Sheng Shi, hurry up and apologize to your sister-in-law."

The blue veins on Lu Shengshi's forehead gathered together.

Wen Qiqi stood in front of her and raised her eyebrows slightly...

come on!

Apologize!

Lu Shengshi bit off her tongue and couldn't even utter a word of apology.

Her personality has always been like this. From childhood to adulthood, Madam Lu and Mr. Lu doted on her and loved her. Before coming to Kyoto, her status in the Lu family even surpassed Lu Zhanyao!

Besides, my brother has also said that Wen Qiqi is infertile, so she is just raised in the mansion and given the status of the principal wife!

I didn't expect that she really took me as a dish and forced me to apologize today!

When Wen Qiqi saw that Lu Shengshi refused, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said word by word: "Since you are unwilling to speak, it means that your sister still doesn't know that she is wrong. Mother, you saw what happened today... It's not me who is being unreasonable, it's Shengshi who was unreasonable first."

"What are you going to do? Qiqi, we are all family, it won't happen."

Madam Lu stood up nervously, and with the help of the maid, she came to Wen Qiqi: "She is also your sister."

Aunt Mei also came up to plead: "Madam, please don't be angry. It's normal for brothers and sisters to say something excessive. Sheng Shi didn't mean it, but you did."

"Whether you mean it or not, you said it."

Wen Qiqi looked at Aunt Mei: "Why, Aunt Mei, do you think there is something wrong with my way of doing things, and I am not worthy of being the mistress of the Lu family, and not worthy of being Xingcheng's mother?"

Aunt Mei knew that Wen Qiqi was threatening her, her face suddenly changed and she stepped back.

Lu Shengshi really didn't believe that Wen Qiqi dared to do anything to her?

"Mom, don't try to persuade her. I want to see how the daughter of the Wen family teaches her aunt a lesson! Do you want to fight? Go ahead and hit her!"

Lu Shengshi raised his head, ten out of ten were dissatisfied and eight out of eight were disdainful.

"Anyway, she has already slapped Xingcheng. Xingcheng is such a good kid, she was willing to kick him, so it doesn't matter if she hits me again!"

Wen Qiqi smiled coldly: "I won't hit you, you are seventeen now, you should know what is right and wrong! Since you can't even tell right from wrong and don't know the etiquette at all, you should be punished by not helping me manage the household any longer."

"what?"

Lu Shengshi's eyes suddenly widened, and he almost bit his teeth off in hatred.

Let her stop being the housekeeper?

Then who will be in charge of the Lu family?

Could it be her Wen Qiqi?

Does she have this ability?

"Oh... I thought you had become a different person these days. It turns out you were thinking about the housekeeper's affairs! Sister-in-law, don't blame me for not reminding you. Being a housekeeper is not an easy job!"

Lu Shengshi looked at Wen Qiqi with arrogant and confident eyes. She looked so gentle, how could she be a housekeeper?

As long as Lu Shengshi said a word, no one in the Lu Mansion would listen to Qiqi's words.

"Yes, Qiqi, Sheng Shi has been working hard all these years. How could you know how hard it is to be a housekeeper? If you punish her now... you will suffer too! Listen to mother and don't be so picky."

Old Madam Lu still wanted to keep the peace. After all, she didn't want to hand this family over to Wen Qiqi's hands.

"Mom, do you mean that over the years, I have only taken on the empty title of your Lu family's housekeeper? Or do you mean that you only need me when you don't have enough money?"

Wen Qiqi turned her head to look at Old Madam Lu. Old Madam Lu was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lu Shengshi couldn't bear to see his mother embarrassed, so he shouted, "Okay! If you have the guts, you can take care of it!"
