She was originally pretty, and her tearful appearance naturally attracted everyone's sympathy.

Everyone couldn't help but chime in: "Open the door, open the door quickly!"

Seeing that the situation had gotten out of hand, the gatekeeper immediately rushed back to the backyard to report to Sang Qiutang.

He spoke awkwardly, "Young Madam, the family from the second house is making a fuss again, insisting on sending special products to the master. Now that the door is not opened, she has instigated the people to shout outside, and now the noise is getting louder!"

Sang Qiutang frowned. Now that her father-in-law was away and her husband had gone to the Dali Temple, as the mistress of the Lin family, it was time for her to stand up.

She put on her cloak and walked out, with an undisguised look of bitter cold on her face!

Ask yourself, who in this world doesn’t have a few relatives who ask for money, but it’s rare to find one as shameless as the second family.

When she came to the outside of the mansion with her maid, she saw Lin Ruoxin crying to the people around her about how difficult life was in her hometown, hoping that her great-uncle could help her.

She smiled tenderly and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Are you the one sent by the second house to deliver the gift?"

Lin Ruoxin quickly wiped her tears and said obediently: "Aunt, I am Ruoxin, the eldest daughter of the second room!"

Sang Qiutang immediately stopped her, "Don't call me aunt! You, the second branch, actually dared to pretend to be my father-in-law's illegitimate son, trying to ruin his reputation and seize the Lin family's property. How dare you come to our house again?"

Just one sentence made Lin Ruoxin's face turn pale inch by inch. She never expected that the young lady of the Lin family would dare to say it in public.

She's gone too far!

Lin Ruoxin's tears fell, and she shook her head vigorously to deny it: "It's not like that, this is all a misunderstanding, aunt, it's my grandmother who remembered it wrongly. After all, she and my great-uncle were engaged!"

Sang Qiutang pretended to be surprised and asked, "Huh? How could she get something like this wrong? She can't even figure out who her son's biological father is? Then who is she?"

The crowd suddenly burst into laughter.

Lin Ruoxin was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She originally thought that the weak and sickly young lady of the Lin family was easy to bully and manipulate, but she didn't expect that just after she came up, she was forced to flee with just two words.

No, she can't escape!

She was shouldering the mission of bringing her grandmother and father back to the Lin Mansion. No matter how much injustice she had to endure, she had to endure it.

She quickly walked up to Sang Qiutang and asked, "Aunt, how can you say such harsh words? My grandmother is your elder after all. It's okay for you to be disrespectful to her, but you shouldn't slander her reputation."

Sang Qiutang spoke calmly, "It was you who first said that your grandmother couldn't even remember who your father's biological father was. How could I be the one to smear her reputation? Aren't there so many people around here? Let them help judge and decide whether it's my fault or yours."

Lin Ruoxin really didn't dare to let those people join in the discussion anymore. Just when Sang Qiutang said those two sentences, they had already started whispering about the second branch's bad intentions.

Her eyes quickly turned red as she pleaded in a low voice: "Aunt, please let us come back to the Lin Mansion. We really can't stay here. We are obviously a family and should live together and help each other!"

Sang Qiutang Shuke said, "Who are you family with? When Lin Ran and I got married, did your second branch give us a needle or a piece of thread?"

Lin Ruoxin argued, "We were at the old house at the time and had no idea. If we had gotten any news, we would have sent you some gifts!"

Sang Qiutang held out his hand towards her: "It's never too late to give gifts for a happy occasion. Now that you know about it, I'll give you the dowry first, and then I'll welcome you into the mansion!"

Lin Ruoxin froze. Where would she get the money?

This bitch is so greedy. She is obviously rich, but why is she still asking her for more makeup?

It's so shameless!

She stammered, "We just arrived in the capital, and all our money has been withheld by our great-uncle. How dare you ask for it?"

Sang Qiutang quickly interrupted, "Stop talking nonsense! The money my father-in-law withheld was the money he withdrew from the public account after you moved into the mansion. If you really counted it all, it wouldn't be enough. You should be thankful I wasn't there at the time. Otherwise, I would have calculated all your food and drink expenses and made you pay more!"

At this time, the maid standing next to her spoke up to remind her: "Young Madam, it's not too late for you to calculate now. We have spent a lot of money in the kitchen these days, and all the ingredients are top-notch!"

Lin Ruoxin was immediately furious. She finally understood that the young lady of the Lin family was also very difficult to deal with!

She had to leave quickly, otherwise, she would have to pay money to the Lin family again!

She said quickly: "I suddenly remembered that there is something I haven't done yet, so I'll leave first!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly took the lunch box and left.

Sang Qiutang shouted at her back, "Can't you wait for me to settle the score with you? Why are you walking so fast?"

Lin Ruoxin ran even faster. Was she stupid? Was she still waiting to be punished?

Although we only stayed there for two days, the food we ate was truly delicacies from land and sea.

If you really calculate it, even a hundred taels of silver can’t cover it!

She is here to get something for nothing, not to pay off her debts!

Thinking of this, she sped up her escape, for she was afraid of being caught up by Sang Qiutang.

Watching her figure turn into a shadow, Sang Qiutang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Everyone, the excitement is over, let's disperse!"

Someone mustered up the courage to ask, "Madam Lin, is the second wife really engaged to Old Doctor Lin? Judging from her granddaughter's behavior, her character must not be very good!"

Sang Qiutang sighed helplessly, "Who hasn't made mistakes in their lives? Making mistakes isn't scary. The scary thing is to avoid being fooled by them. Otherwise, you'll never be able to live a peaceful life!"

Everyone couldn't help but agree: "You're right, we were deceived by her just now. We just thought the little girl's crying was so pitiful, but we didn't expect the family to use such despicable means. Sorry, Madam, we won't dare to meddle in other people's business again!"

Sang Qiutang said nothing more, turned around and went back home.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and soon someone reported the news to Lin Su and Lin Yiwan.

She smiled and said, "Qiu Tang is a sober person. If the people from the Second House meet her, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to get any advantage!"

Lin Su nodded: "Then I feel relieved. With her in the Lin Mansion, both our yards can be protected!"

At this time, Zi'er walked in quickly and said, "Madam, the old lady is here to visit you!"

Lin Su was about to ask which old lady it was, but suddenly she remembered the Saint Maiden of Zhan Yihou's Mansion.

She hurriedly urged: "Please invite her in!"

The saint entered the house. Although she was only wearing a plain brocade dress, it still made her look bright and beautiful.

However, there was a hint of sadness between her brows, and even an unconcealable dark blue color in her eyes.
