After all, it was not a wise move for Jiang Fugui to confront Jiang Weishi head-on now, especially since there were outsiders in the main house. She couldn't really lose face in front of her grandmother.

Old Lady Jiang, who had remained silent the entire time, fingered the Buddhist beads in her hand one by one and said slowly and calmly, "Madam Shen, I have some matters to attend to at home today, so I can't keep you here to chat any longer. When I'm free tomorrow, I'll send you an invitation to a banquet and invite you to come over for a feast. By the way, I'll also let your daughter and our daughters spend more time together and get closer."

Mrs. Shen was a very smart person. She understood the meaning of what Old Lady Jiang said in just a few words. The host suddenly asked the guests to leave, which was nothing more than to close the door and ask for punishment...

"Yes, yes. It's getting late. We should go back. They still need to learn needlework."

A girl from the Shen family had a strange look on her face. Just as she was about to speak out to explain, she saw her mother blinking at her frantically. So the words on the tip of her tongue turned into an awkward smile.

In a short while, Nanny Qingyan personally saw the Shen family off. When she came back, she brought Nanny Ye, who was waiting outside the main house, into the house.

Madam Ye had just stepped into the main house and before she had time to greet Old Lady Jiang, she heard Old Lady Jiang, who was sitting in the main seat, say in a deep voice, "Second son's wife, as the head mistress of the house, you have failed in your duty."

Jiang Wei was filled with anger, her expression changing again and again, and because of her anger, her breathing began to quicken slightly.

Ever since she married into the Jiang family and took charge of the household, the old lady had rarely asked about the affairs of the mansion, and had never severely criticized or taught her a lesson in front of the younger generation.

But what Old Lady Jiang said just now not only acknowledged Jiang Fugui's grievance today, but also directly humiliated her in front of the younger generation.

Jiang Weishi, who had never suffered such humiliation before, stood up in a rage. She was about to vent her anger on Jiang Fugui, but when she caught a glimpse of the expressionless face of Old Lady Jiang, she shrank back.

When Jiang Weishi thought about how her husband Jiang Shusen respected his mother and elder brother very much and attached great importance to rules and etiquette, she realized that offending Old Lady Jiang was not a good idea at the moment.

What's more, Jiang Weishi prided herself on being a fair and strict mistress in the mansion; at the same time, she was also a dignified, generous, loving and forgiving legitimate mother. Therefore, it was not a smart move for her to vent her anger on the children and maids.

The only one left was Aunt Dong who was watching the show. But if he really confronted her in public, she would definitely complain to Jiang Shusen when he got back. Then the couple would inevitably have another quarrel and hurt their relationship.

After thinking it over, Jiang Weishi felt that she could only take action against her own people.

Suddenly, Jiang Wei's face darkened. When she looked at Madam Ye, her eyes were stern and majestic. She shouted in a loud voice, "Why don't you kneel down?"

As soon as Nanny Ye's eyes met Jiang Weishi's, she hadn't figured out what was going on, so she could only kneel on the ground nervously, feeling scared.

Madam, she is...

"You're an elder by my side, after all. How can you be so careless about your work? I've carefully reminded you that the Second Young Lady's family must have adequate food, clothing, and other necessities. Promptly provide whatever is lacking." Jiang Wei approached Madam Ye quickly, her eyes half-closed, anger written all over her face. "Tell me, what did you do? How dare you treat the Second Young Lady so harshly in front of the master?"
