After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

Apart from Madam Liu standing outside, there were only three people in Youchun Hall, and a solemn silence enveloped the hall.

"The daughter-in-law pays her respects to her mother-in-law." Su Wan knelt down and saluted.

"My sister-in-law is very arrogant now. Even if we ask the most favored person around mother-in-law, it will take some effort to invite her." Wen did not respond, but Qin spoke with a sneer.

Su Wan smiled faintly: "It's all my daughter-in-law's fault. If she knew this courtyard was too remote, she should have left earlier."

Qin choked. When Su Wan first married, Zheng Yanchen had asked her to find a courtyard for her. He hadn't thought it necessary to bother someone like her, so he had her move to Tingyuxuan, the most remote location. No one, including Su Wan, had said no, but now he was finding fault.

"I think my sister-in-law has been delayed for more than just this reason, right?" Qin spoke again.

Su Wan glanced at Wen Shi and saw that she had her eyelids drooped and was silent, as if she was also waiting for her answer.

Su Wan sat down at the table nearby and jokingly said, "Of course I'm busy with the Spring Banquet. Now that my sister-in-law isn't here to help, I'm even busier."

Qin's mouth twitched.

"Really?" Wen finally spoke. "Is it the Duke's Mansion's business, or is it someone else's business that delayed you?"

Su Wan was puzzled when she heard this. She looked up and saw Wen's sharp eyes as if she could see through her.

"What are you talking about, mother-in-law? I don't understand."

"Where did you go that day?" Wen asked coldly.

"Of course I went to visit my grandfather." Su Wan paused and continued, "Then I went to Mingxiangxuan to taste tea. You know all this."

Indeed, upon her return, Su Wan took the opportunity to offer Wen Shi's favorite tea while paying her respects. Wen Shi had been feeling down for the past few days, and the new tea had certainly helped to perk her up. She was quite pleased with herself for this.

"Gone?" Wen questioned.

Su Wan nodded. "No, the guards from the Duke's Mansion are with me too. They can testify for me." Su Wan continued, "Did something happen?"

Wen was silent for a moment and looked at Qin. Qin nodded, "Madam Zeng."

"I'm here," Matron Zeng said, her neck held high. "Yesterday, when I sent someone out to buy groceries, the servant saw Liuyan beside the Second Young Master's wife at the door of Mingxiangxuan."

Nanny Zeng's gaze fell on Su Wan, and she saw that the woman in front of her frowned slightly, puzzled but not nervous.

"The maid said she saw Liuyan sneak into an alley, and then she disappeared. Madam, could you explain to us where Liuyan went?"

Nanny Zeng's eyes were full of arrogance, like a condescending scrutiny, or an undisguised provocation, and they fell on Su Wan so wantonly.

Su Wan's eyes flickered slightly, "Who the hell are you? How dare you question me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Nanny Sun's face changed instantly. Then she heard Su Wan continue, "Even if I did something wrong, it should be the mistress who should be held responsible. Now the mother-in-law hasn't even spoken yet, and you're standing in front of me acting like the boss. When did the rules of the Duke's Mansion change?"

Su Wan's voice wasn't loud, but every word was sharp, like a slap in the face to Qin and Wen. Yes, they emphasized every day that the rules couldn't be broken, but today, a nanny acted like the master.

Qin's face was filled with indignation, while Wen came to her senses. "Then let me ask you, where did Liuyan go that day? What did he do?"

Matron Zeng retreated, shrinking her body. Su Wan stepped forward and said, "Please be kind, mother-in-law. I happened to see a woman in the teahouse feeling unwell and nearly fainting. I asked Liuyan to go buy some medicine. To save time, Liuyan took a shortcut, but she got lost."

Qin laughed out loud when she heard this. Even if she was looking for an excuse, she should at least come up with something decent. Lost? Sure enough, Su Wan was completely unprepared this time.

Qin took over the conversation, "But I heard that your men were talking to a man at that time. Who was that man?"

"He's the steward of the pastry shop next door. I want to buy that shop, and the steward came to discuss it with me."

Qin snorted coldly, "You're going to take over a dim sum shop with no reputation for no reason? Even a fool wouldn't believe that."

"That's strange, sister-in-law. A shop's size isn't what matters, it's its location. If I see a shop that's profitable, why not buy it?"

Qin choked, then laughed and said, "The Duke's Mansion isn't close to Mingxiangxuan, yet you keep running there. Is it just to visit this shop?"

"What does Auntie think?"

Qin stood up and asked, "Then why did you stay in Mingxiangxuan for so long?"

Su Wan's eyes were puzzled. "Of course I'm drinking tea. Doesn't Auntie like the tea there?"

Seeing Su Wan's expression, which only looked at a fool, Qin was immediately furious. Pretending! Still pretending!

"Nonsense!" Qin's voice rose a few degrees. "Mingxiangxuan is clearly yours. You opened a shop there without telling us, and now you're still lying?"

Su Wan glanced at Wen Shi without changing her expression, and then said slowly, "So? Is this what Sister-in-law wanted?"

Qin paused for a moment, then listened to Su Wan continue, "So what if the shop is mine? What if it's not? Do I have to explain in detail that I used my own dowry to open a shop? What about sister-in-law? Is there anything you don't know about us?"

Qin's eyes widened, and she was speechless for a moment. She did, but could this be the same?

Su Wan ignored Qin's surprise and looked at Wen and said, "If this is the reason for this, then I apologize, but I also want fairness." As she spoke, Su Wan looked at Qin, implying that if you punish me, then Qin should also be punished.

Wen lowered her eyes and said solemnly, "If you have the ability, that's your business." Wen understood that this wasn't a big mistake; she would have secretly bought some to increase her own personal funds. But Su Wan hadn't been so cunning before, so wasn't it strange that she was now wary of her own family?

"But there's no need to hide it like this."

"Wan'er didn't intend to cover it up. She was just afraid of getting into conflict with my sister-in-law like last time, which would cause unrest in the family."

"You!" Qin's face darkened when she saw the spearhead pointed at her. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't use me as a target. You opened this shop to do something shameful!"

Upon hearing this, Su Wan's previously gentle expression darkened. Meanwhile, Wen Shi raised her eyelids slightly and watched the two confront each other.

"Sister-in-law, what can I do? You are slandering me like this. Where does my reputation stand? Where does the reputation of the Duke's Mansion stand?"

Su Wan continued, "I'm really confused. Why is it that others can open a shop, but it's something I can't stand. Why do you always target me? What on earth do you want to do?"

Qin chuckled sinisterly, "Don't try to change the subject. The guards all said they never saw you save anyone. You're clearly trying to cover up something."

Su Wan laughed, "Did the guards ever say that I lied to them?"

Qin's eyelids twitched.

"Mother-in-law, I swear I didn't do anything shameful. Although I wasted time that day, I was indeed concerned about a woman. If you want to use this incident to convict me, I won't accept it."

When Qin saw Su Wan standing there with a frank look on her face, the corners of her lips twitched slightly. She said, "Today, I will break your wings no matter what."

Then she slowly walked over to Su Wan and said, "Sister-in-law, since I dare to identify you, how could I not have evidence?"
