When Hua Muxue heard Aunt Shen talking about her sister-in-law's faults, she frowned slightly and said dignifiedly:

"Aunt Shen, there is no right or wrong in love, only the parties involved know the right and wrong best.

As bystanders, it is really difficult for us to interfere in this matter. Every family has its own problems.

As far as my niece-in-law knows, my sister did not meet a good man and was indeed the one who was hurt.

As a woman herself, my niece-in-law can empathize with him very well.

Even if it were a girl from an ordinary family, she would not be able to accept her husband cheating on her and having a child with another woman."

Seeing that she really didn't give him face and dared to refute him in public, Shen Yuanqing said with dissatisfaction:

"Who isn't a woman? Who hasn't been married? Is she the only one who is pretentious?

What's more, it was obvious that she was in love with Gu Qingchen and insisted on marrying into the Marquis's Mansion.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, but she has no manners or manners at all. No wonder her husband's family dislikes her.

If she really obeyed her mother-in-law, assisted her husband, had children, and managed all the affairs of the house diligently.

Her husband's family would never point fingers at her, say bad things about her, or ignore her.

In the final analysis, it's her own fault that she is not ambitious enough and doesn't know how to hold a man's heart, allowing other women to take advantage of her.

I've been married for three years, but she hasn't laid an egg.

There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. She deserves to be divorced by her husband's family.

If my poor sister hadn't died early, I would have been pissed off to death by this disgraceful thing."

If Hua Muxue hadn't considered that she was the elder, she would have ordered her to leave long ago to avoid wasting time talking to her.

"Aunt Shen, my sister is your niece after all. It's unworthy of an elder to belittle her behind her back.

If my niece's mother-in-law knew about this, she would definitely be very sad.

I, the niece-in-law, dare to ask Aunt Shen to be kind in her words and not to encourage others and destroy your own prestige."

Shen Yuanqing saw that she responded to every word she said. She responded to every ten words she said. She suddenly raised her hand and knocked the teacup to the ground:

"What do you mean? How dare you go against me in every way?

Are you blaming me as your aunt?

Don't forget, you are just the daughter-in-law of the Song family, and I am the elder of the Song family.

I say you don't know the rules, but you still argue with me.

It seems that I have to set some rules for you on behalf of my short-lived sister."

Hua Muxue felt apprehensive and immediately stood up. She nodded slightly, not daring to look her in the eye, and said in a serious manner:

"Aunt Shen, please calm down. Your niece didn't mean to contradict you.

My niece-in-law is just speaking the truth and may have offended you unintentionally.

Please be magnanimous and don't be so picky with your niece-in-law."

Shen Yuanqing looked at her coldly, his eyes full of disgust, and said sarcastically:

"What? Am I being petty with you? Are you saying I'm narrow-minded?

As the aunt of Feng Ge'er and Yin Jie'er, I have the right to discipline them, and I also have the right to discipline you.

You'd better put yourself in your place and not test my patience.

Don't go to Feng Ge'er and cry about how your aunt treated you harshly."

Hua Muxue's jade-like fingers dug into the corner of her sleeves and whispered:

"My niece dare not. Aunt Shen, please calm down and be careful not to get sick from anger."

Shen Yuanqing glanced at her sideways, and seeing that she looked timid, he said arrogantly:

"I plan to stay in your house for a while and teach you how to be a good wife of the Grand Marshal, and teach you some etiquette, manners, and ways to manage a household.

You'd better quickly arrange for the servants to clean up an elegant garden for me. I always like quietness and don't like noise."

Hua Muxue's heart suddenly shook. If she agreed to let her stay, wouldn't it be easier to invite a god than to send him away?

"Aunt Shen, the family has been swamped with trivial matters recently. My niece-in-law has just arrived and there are still many things that need to be sorted out and dealt with one by one.

My husband is often away from home due to his official duties, and occasionally he has to go on business trips for a period of time, so he is rarely at home.

My sister has always been in frail health and suffers from heart disease. She needs to rely on medication and rest.

I am afraid that I cannot entertain you properly, chat with you, or go out for a stroll, for fear that I may neglect you."

Shen Yuanqing understood the meaning of her words and sneered:

"It doesn't matter, I have a pair of children myself, and they can keep me company and entertain me.

You may go about your own business, but as long as you visit your parents on time every morning and evening, you must not be negligent in observing etiquette.

By the way, there is something I want to discuss with you, please sit down."

Seeing that she was determined to stay, Hua Muxue couldn't help but feel worried, but she couldn't show it too obviously, so she sat down straightly:

"Aunt Shen, what's the matter?"

Shen Yuanqing waved his hand, calling the young girl who had been standing obediently beside him, and said with a smile:

"This is my concubine's daughter, her name is Xu Qianqian. She just turned sixteen this year, and it's time for her to get married.

I thought that it would be better to keep the wealth within the family, so I let Sister Qian serve Brother Feng well.

Our brother Feng is at the age of full vigor and vitality, and it’s getting boring to look at the same face all the time.

The Song family has been a single-line family for three generations, and it is time for him to branch out.

For a man, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines.

In the future, I will give birth to dozens of sons for the Song family, all of whom are talented in literature and martial arts, brave and good at fighting, and all of them will serve the court when they grow up."

Xu Qianqian understood what was going on and quickly stepped forward, kowtowed to Hua Muxue:

"Qianqian meets the Madam."

Tears flashed in the corners of Hua Muxue's eyes. She bit her lower lip tightly. Her long nails dug deeply into the palm of her hand, leaving crescent-shaped leaves.

The more you fear something, the more likely it will come.

Once you take over this hot potato, you can never get rid of it.

Just when Shen Yuanqing thought he had achieved his goal, he heard a clear female voice coming from outside the hall.

"Aunt Shen, what brings you here?"

Shen Yuanqing raised his eyes suddenly and the smile on his face froze in an instant.

In the halo outside the door, Song Wanyin seemed to walk out of the light. She was wearing a light green bamboo-patterned long skirt with delicate bamboo and butterfly patterns embroidered on it. She wore a light pink short-sleeved top, which was also embroidered with peony patterns. An exquisite jade bamboo hairpin was inserted diagonally in her hair, making her as beautiful and charming as a fairy.

"Wan Yin greets Aunt Shen. It's been three years since we last met. I hope you are doing well."

The corners of Shen Yuanqing's mouth twitched a few times, and he forced a smile and said:

"Sister Yin, your face is so fair and rosy, it seems you have been taking good care of yourself recently.

I am still worrying about you, worried that you are being abandoned and staying in your house all day, feeling unhappy and afraid to show yourself to others."

Song Wanyin could tell that she was hiding a knife behind her smile, so she said calmly:

"Aunt Shen, it seems you are really worrying too much.

His Majesty personally issued an edict to allow Gu Qingchen and I to divorce. I haven't suffered any losses, so why should I worry about it?

On the contrary, it was you who caused the Taiwei Mansion to suffer such a disaster three years ago.

My mother once went to your house for help, but you ignored her and refused to see her.

Three years later, the Taiwei Mansion returned to its peak.

You have come all the way here with your family to look for your relatives. You must be well-informed.

Are you trying to force someone in again this time?"
