Seeing Qin's face dark with anger, Su Wan knelt on the ground and said, "Please rest assured, mother-in-law. I have consulted the doctor, and he is only injured and it is not serious. I will always advise him to be cautious in everything he does."

As she spoke, she gradually began to sob, causing Wen and Qin to frown. Su Wan continued, "I've discussed this with my husband before. If anything were to happen to him, I'd stay with him, seeking medical advice for the rest of his life, until his death."

Su Wan spoke with deep sorrow, unaware that Wen Shi's face was horrified. "Enough!" She said, her chest heaving. "Look at what you're saying."

Wen Shi had been feeling increasingly depressed over the past few days, and the chaos in the mansion and her husband's cold stare had made her even more suffocated. But when she heard about her son's situation, she became even more furious. Now, seeing Su Wan's desperate expression, she nearly fainted.

But Qin had made a mistake, and Zheng Weilan no longer trusted her. If Su Wan wasn't allowed to take charge, Zheng Weilan would decide to hand power to the Second Wife. How could that be? When they were young, the sisters-in-law had always been at odds with each other. If the Second Wife gained power, who knew how that petty woman would retaliate against her.

It would be better to let Su Wan, who was easy to control, take charge than to let the second wife, who had a grudge against her, take charge. But after taking another look at Su Wan, Qin Shi felt no desire to live.

A few days ago, while the two were at odds, Wen Shi wanted to remarry Zheng Yanchen, but before the head of the family could say anything, Zheng Yanchen became impatient. Who knew what kind of magic potion this ugly woman had fed her son?

"Let me ask you, where is Erlang? He often comes home very late these days. Have you ever cared about him?"

Su Wan said anxiously, "I've already gone to look for him. I think my husband has been in poor health these past few days, and his mood is even worse, so he can only drink to drown his sorrows."

"Stop talking." Wen waved her hand, closed her eyes and leaned against the table, saying, "Stop talking now."

Stop being angry with her! She no longer has the energy to be angry with this idiot. Oh my God, what sin did she commit to let such excellent sons marry useless losers?

Seeing that Wen Shi had her eyes closed and looked a little tired, Su Wan stood up and said hesitantly, "As for the backyard, it was indeed my daughter-in-law's negligence. However, I still want to say that this matter was really disgraceful on the part of my sister-in-law."

Qin shuddered, staring blankly at Su Wan. She had thought Su Wan wouldn't bring herself up. After all, it was Su Wan who was supposed to do the job, and she'd been lazy. No one wanted to be disliked at this critical moment, but she actually said it out loud?

Wen opened her eyes and asked, "What does this have to do with your sister-in-law?"

"Auntie said it would be done, and my daughter-in-law believed her. But she was so ostentatious in hiring people, and all the managers were replaced by people I moved out of the shop. Even if Auntie trusted them, she should have known that some people couldn't be moved."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin was anxious. While scolding Su Wan, she looked at her mother-in-law. She saw Wen looking at her thoughtfully, and her face suddenly turned red.

Some of these people were my mother-in-law's relatives, so there would be no problem in settling them in the mansion. However, after Su Wanjing said this, it seemed as if those people had become her own people.

Qin stood up and said awkwardly, "I saw that those people had been in the positions of leadership for too long and had become a little lazy, so I wanted to teach them a lesson. But I, your daughter-in-law, have absolutely no such intention. I hope you will understand."

Wen glanced at Qin calmly without replying, then turned to Su Wan and said, "You are the mistress, and you are in charge of these matters. Why are you asking your sister-in-law to do it? What? Don't you want to do it now?"

"It's my daughter-in-law's fault. She saw that my sister-in-law had been unhappy for a long time, so she wanted to cheer her up. She also thought that my sister-in-law was the most familiar with the matter of employing people, so she asked her to help her. Unexpectedly -"

"Su Wan, can you speak?"

Qin couldn't hold it in any longer. What did she mean by "most familiar"? And why was she talking about the past again?

"My daughter-in-law agreed to this matter just to relieve my mother-in-law's worries. These people are all elders in the mansion and will naturally understand the difficulties faced by the Duke's Mansion. I didn't expect a commotion to arise. It seems that they don't approve of my daughter-in-law."

"What should we do now?" Wen asked.

Su Wan answered first, "After all, it was Sister-in-law who hurt people's feelings. It would be a good idea for Sister-in-law to come forward to appease them. It would also let people know that our Duke is not heartless."

Hearing this, Qin stared at Su Wan in disbelief. Great, that’s great!

Wen saw the two of them standing shoulder to shoulder in front of her, but their faces were tense and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

She yawned lightly and said, "I'm tired. Since it's you who caused the trouble, you guys should solve it. And..." Wen looked up at Su Wan and said, "Don't cause any more trouble at the Spring Banquet." Then she helped Madam Liu to rest.

Su Wan and Qin left Youchun Hall. Qin finally spoke, "My sister-in-law is really an eye-opener now."

"Why do you say that, sister-in-law?" Su Wan was puzzled.

Qin sneered, "Do you know this is a provocation?"

Su Wan laughed, her face showing no fear at all. "Sister-in-law, don't forget, if I hadn't begged you, you wouldn't have the chance to show off with me here today."

"What did you say?"

"I'm telling my sister-in-law not to play any tricks. I'm in power now because you made a big mistake. If you do anything else that causes unrest in the mansion, not only your mother-in-law, but I won't approve."

Qin Shi was at a loss for words. "What can you do?"

Su Wan sneered, "Sister-in-law, you can try it." After that, she turned around and went back to the yard.

"Qiaohui, did you hear what she just said?"

Qiao Hui nodded behind him, "The Second Young Master's wife must be crazy."

"No." Qin looked ahead coldly, "Perhaps she was originally a lunatic, and now her true colors have been revealed."

……

However, when the people sent by Su Wan arrived at Qianwei Tower and found Zheng Yanchen, he was already drunk.

"Erlang Jun, Erlang Jun." The servant and Chengfeng supported Zheng Yanchen and said, "You are still injured. Don't drink anymore. Come back with me quickly."

Zheng Yanchen shook off the servant's hand and said, "Go home and don't bother me!"

"Erlangjun, please go home, otherwise the lady will be worried."

"Hey Erlang, I didn't expect that you would be controlled by your wife!" Colleagues on the side laughed and joked.

Zheng Yanchen said drunkenly, "Nonsense! Which wife am I asking you about?"

"Of course it's the eldest lady, Erlangjun's mother."

Zheng Yanchen smiled bitterly and stood up. "I told you, my wife doesn't dare to control me." Then he waved to his colleagues and said, "I can't help it. She's too filial. See you tomorrow."

The servant who was supporting him was secretly delighted, thinking that the young lady had a way, as she knew that the second young master would listen to the eldest lady the most.

Zheng Yanchen got on the carriage and left Qianweilou, and at this time Jiang Yun walked out from the side.

She curled her pink lips and watched the departing carriage, her smile as beautiful as a flower. Yu Luo said that Zheng Yanchen had been coming here to drink frequently these days, and today on his way home he had found an excuse to try his luck here, and he hadn't expected to actually run into him.

"Xiao Die, I have a mission for you. Have someone keep a close eye on Qianwei Tower these few days. If Zheng Yanchen shows up here, have them come find me immediately."

"Yes."

In Tingyuxuan, Su Wan returned to the yard and looked at the bastard and thought of Xie Yin.

Logically speaking, now that the matter was resolved, Xie Yin should have come to ask for news about his father, but he hadn't appeared yet. It was impossible to just give up. What was Xie Yin thinking?

Confused Su Wan didn't know that she would soon meet this guy in an embarrassing situation.
