Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

The old lady's fainting spell caused immediate chaos in Rongyuan.

When Li brought Mu Xinnuan over, Xu Huilan was already stunned!

Madam Li frowned. "Madam Song, the old lady was perfectly fine this morning. How come she fainted after talking to you for a while? It's not that I'm prejudiced against you, but with so many people watching in this courtyard, what did you say to the old lady that made her so angry?"

Xu Huilan was taken aback. What did this have to do with her? It was clearly the old lady who fainted from anger when she heard that Li Shi couldn't come. How come Li Shi immediately pinned the blame for the old lady fainting on her as soon as she appeared?

"What do you mean by this, cousin-in-law? Why do you immediately accuse me of upsetting my aunt? Is this how a matriarch behaves?"

Xu Huilan disliked Li Shi in the first place, always feeling that it was Li Shi's doing that she was unable to marry Mu Chang'an as a concubine. Now, she was being falsely accused of making the old lady faint, which only fueled her anger. Naturally, her words became more impulsive.

Li sneered, "I dare not accept the title of 'cousin-in-law' from Madam Song. Your husband dared to commit such a heinous act, and you still have the nerve to come here to beg for mercy? If it weren't for our Ah Nuan's good fortune, how could she have returned safely? As for Madam Song, you should leave. I will not pursue your rudeness today. In the future, you'd better stay away from the Mu residence!"

Xu Huilan was trembling with anger this time. "Isn't my sister-in-law going too far? My aunt was clearly made to faint by you, but now you're blaming me. Do you really think that I'm just an orphan girl and can be bullied by you?"

Mu Xin Nuan noticed that her tone was off and she suddenly softened a bit. She glanced sideways and saw that her father and grandfather had rushed over as soon as they heard the news.

"Madam Song, please stop arguing! Whether or not you made Grandmother faint, we should let the physician examine her properly first. Grandmother is unconscious inside, and you are crying and wailing here, which is really inappropriate! If you disturb the old lady any further, it will be your fault."

As soon as Mu Xin Nuan finished speaking, Xu Hui Lan's face turned green with anger! What kind of nonsense was this? How dare a junior be so insolent in front of her?

"Ah Nuan! You!"

"Alright! Mother is still inside receiving treatment, and you're crying and sobbing here. What kind of behavior is this?" Mu Chang'an glanced at her with some disgust. He couldn't say he disliked her at first, but who knew she had married into the Song family! Now, he felt uncomfortable whenever he saw someone with the surname Song!

"How is your mother?" the old man asked, frowning.

"Father, the physician is treating patients inside. I'll go in and take a look." After saying this, Madam Li curtsied and went into the inner room. Mu Xin Nuan followed her in.

Before long, the family physician came out and said that the old lady's health was basically fine, she had woken up, and after taking a few more doses of medicine, she would be alright.

"Who was serving you here just now?"

As soon as the master spoke, everyone in the room knelt down, saying, "This servant will serve you in the room."

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Mu Chang'an's expression was not good, and his tone was naturally colder.

The people in the old lady's room were all elderly. They naturally knew that in the past six months, the most favored person in the household had been the eldest young lady. And the madam was also highly regarded by the master and patriarch, subtly showing signs of surpassing the old lady in status. At this critical juncture, they naturally dared not say a single word that would be detrimental to the madam. Moreover, although the old lady in the inner room had woken up, who knew whether she was truly lucid?

"Reporting to Master, the Old Madam was quite well. This morning, the eldest young lady and the two young masters all came to pay their respects to the Old Madam. Around noon, it was Madam herself who came to ask what the Old Madam would like for lunch. After taking a short rest this afternoon, Madam Song came."

Having said that, the servant wisely shut his mouth and said no more!

Xu Huilan wasn't stupid. Upon hearing this, she naturally knew that the servants in the mansion dared not offend Madam Li. She immediately retorted, "Why won't you tell the truth? Why don't you mention that my cousin-in-law refused to come to Rongyuan?"

The maid who had reported earlier said, "Master, the Old Madam did indeed order me to invite Madam over. However, when I arrived, I found Madam teaching the eldest young lady and the second young master calligraphy. I know Madam Song's purpose in coming here, but considering that the eldest young lady and the second young master were frightened last night, I dared not mention the Song family in front of the two young masters. I only said that the Old Madam had invited Madam over. At that time, Madam only said that she would come after seeing the two young masters finish practicing calligraphy. She did not say that she would not come to Rong Courtyard."

Xu Huilan was furious, but another maid said, "Master, I can testify that when Banxia returned to report, she did say exactly that."

Mu Chang'an glanced at the girl, "Your name is Banxia?"

"Yes, sir. I have been serving in Rongyuan for three years and I would not dare to lie."

Mu Chang'an nodded. "Then why did the old lady suddenly faint?"

Banxia glanced at Xu Huilan and lowered her head, saying, "Master, before I went to Jinyuan, Madam Song was crying and sobbing in Rongyuan, saying that the Song family's lineage was probably going to end and that the Song family's hopes were going to be destroyed. I know that the old lady's maiden name is Song, and at that time, I intended to persuade Madam Song not to say such hurtful things. But before I could persuade her, the old lady was already so angry that her face turned ashen, and then she ordered me to go to Jinyuan to invite Madam over."

Mu Chang'an glanced at the old woman beside him, "Is what she said true?"

"Your Excellency, what Banxia said is correct! Madam Song's words today were indeed a bit too extreme. The old lady's emotions were indeed somewhat out of control."

This old nanny had served the old lady for half her life, so naturally she wouldn't speak up for Li Shi without a reason.

Actually, what the nanny was thinking was that the eldest young lady already had an excellent reputation and was favored by the old master and master. There was absolutely no need for the old lady to go against them because of a somewhat declining maternal family! In any case, she was still the master's biological mother, and the master was filial, so naturally he would not mistreat his own mother! Whether she had a maternal family to rely on in the future was no longer important!

This time, she was determined not to let the old lady suffer the master's dislike again!

Mu Chang'an turned to the old master for his opinion with his eyes. The old master nodded to him, and Mu Chang'an's face immediately turned cold. "Madam Song, please go back. Some matters should await a fair judgment. This matter has already reached the ears of the emperor and cannot be settled with a few words from the old lady!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Huilan realized that the Emperor had been alerted, and her legs immediately went weak, almost causing her to collapse to the ground!
