There was only a handmade painting on the table, a portrait of Yun Shu. It was a bit startling to see it there, but her initial panic was now replaced by jealousy. She had just married into the family, and they still had Yun Shu's picture displayed in her husband's room. She wondered what the Sheng family meant by this. She was already married, so why did her husband have a portrait of the woman he loved in his room? Was this meant to provoke her, to mock her shamelessness in marrying into the Sheng family? Well then, they'd see! Sheng Huainan was hers, and even the Sheng family's wealth was hers!

He walked over and smashed the picture frame in no time, tearing all the paintings inside out.

Although there weren't many guests downstairs today, there were still twenty or thirty people.

The Sheng family's guests noticed the bride and groom's strange absence and the ban on drinking. Later, Sheng Xiangyang explained that Huai Nan was ill and couldn't drink. Although some people had objections, they were all acquaintances, and given the Sheng family's status in Nancheng, no one dared to question or cause trouble. They had previously heard that the eldest daughter of the Gu family was to marry Huai Nan, but now it was the younger daughter. The details of the marriage were unknown, but seeing the groom not picking up the bride, everyone understood. For a long time afterward, the wealthy circles of Nancheng discussed this matter.

At the Gu family's house, Gu Cheng and Li Meng waited until all the guests left, and Li Meng was so angry that she cried.

"Old Gu, the Sheng family has gone too far, especially Huai Nan. How will Lele ever face the world after this!" Even if Yun Le doesn't love him, she is still his own daughter.

"Excessive? You didn't go too far? You drugged Huainan and killed Yunshu! What you did wasn't excessive? When you were criticizing others, why didn't you think of yourselves? If only you had known this would happen!"

Gu Cheng rubbed his forehead. His father didn't want to come today, perhaps because he felt ashamed. He also felt guilty because of Yun Shu. Although his father didn't particularly like Yun Shu, he had raised her for ten years, and it was impossible for him not to be heartbroken to lose her. The weather had also gotten much colder these past few days, and as people get older, they tend to catch colds, which worried Gu Cheng.

Li Meng was speechless after Gu Cheng's words, while Yun Huan next to her was very happy. "Dad, Mom, Lele has married and registered her marriage. From now on... she is a member of the Sheng family. We don't need to worry about her. You should worry about me. My sister is married, and my sister is still staying at home. It's a bit unreasonable. Help me find a family like the Sheng family. I'm tired of staying at home."

Especially her former friends, who all knew that her sister had married into the Sheng family, always mocked her, which infuriated her.

"Have you no shame?! You've only been divorced for a short time and you're already thinking about getting married again. And—if you don't like being here, get out!" With that, she stood up and angrily stomped up the stairs.

Li Meng glared at Yun Huan. Her daughter always brought up the most sensitive topics. Even though she knew they were talking about Lele, she still managed to get herself into trouble. She wondered what was wrong with Yun Huan lately; her intelligence seemed to be declining. She was very worried.

Meanwhile, things weren't much better at the Sheng family's place. Xie Huixin was exhausted and slumped on the sofa. She hadn't been this busy in a long time. Accustomed to a life of luxury, this sudden workload, coupled with her age, left her too tired to even move after an afternoon of running around. Although Li Meng and Yun Le had been handling the major tasks, that was before today—hosting guests, entertaining, and directing the servants. And then their son had even gone abroad. Just thinking about it made her angry.

"You should go up and check on Yunle. With Huainan doing things this way, I'm afraid Yunle will be furious now, even if she wasn't angry before."

"How dare she! It's already a favor that we let her into our family, and she still has complaints. Doesn't she even consider who caused this marriage? I really can't believe that the silly, ugly girl from before wasn't this annoying. Now she's turned into this. Sure enough, Li Meng's children are all extraordinary. Old Sheng, you don't know, I've also investigated the drugging incident. That bitch Li Meng actually wanted to marry Yun Huan, who was pregnant out of wedlock and then miscarried, into our family in place of Yun Shu. But Yun Le interfered, otherwise our Nan Nan might still be marrying Yun Huan today. Look at the Gu family, from top to bottom, isn't everyone disgusting? It's a pity that Yun Shu inexplicably got into a fight with Yun Huan and fell in. But who would believe that reason? I guess it was also set up by those three women. It's scary to think about."

Xie Huixin felt disgusted just thinking about it; none of the three members of the Gu family, mother and daughters, were good people.

"That's why I asked you to treat Yunle better, after all, she's pregnant with Huainan's child now."

Sheng Dongyang rubbed his temples. What a mess this was! His son had run away, and his daughter-in-law was like that. Now he hoped that Huainan would come back and Yunle would change her ways. Otherwise, if this family continued to be in turmoil, it would end up like the Gu family, with constant arguments.

Xie Huixin had absolutely no good feelings towards Yun Le. "Hmph! If it weren't for her pregnancy, I wouldn't even let her in. If it's a boy, then fine, but if it's a girl, let her fend for herself!"

"That's not a good idea! No matter how bad she is, she's still Old Gu's youngest daughter. Just treat her well enough on a regular basis. I'm not asking you to take extra care of her. The old man and Uncle Gu have a very close relationship." Sheng Dongyang knew her very well. It was rare for her not to cause trouble for Yun Le. Afraid that she would cause trouble again, he had no choice but to bring up his father to scare her.

As expected, Xie Huixin frowned, glared at Sheng Xiangyang, and scolded unhappily, "I know, I know my own identity!"

After saying that, I wanted to go rest and didn't want to talk to anyone anymore, but Sheng Dongyang had just said that I should go and see Yun Le.

Upon entering Huainan's room, she saw Yunle sitting motionless on the edge of the bed. On the floor were smashed picture frames. Wait, isn't this Yun Shu's portrait? The servants had asked Yao not to put it away, but she had deliberately left it there. She hadn't expected Yunle to have such a temper, daring to destroy even Huainan's belongings at the end of the year.

"What do you mean by this! Even if you're unhappy, you can't just ruin Nan Nan's things like this!"

Yun Le raised her head, no longer as angry as before, and sneered, "My husband has portraits of other women in his room, Mom, what are you doing? Even if you're dissatisfied, you can't ignore the Sheng family's child in my belly!" After saying that, she put her hand on her belly.

"You—I can't be bothered with you!" Xie Huixin originally wanted to teach her a lesson, but Yun Le actually threatened her with the child. Forget it, she slunk out and decided to put up with her for more than eight months. Once the child was born, she would see how Yun Le would teach her a lesson.

Yun Le's lips curled up. This woman was exactly like Li Meng, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. She stood up and went to wash up, and from now on she would live a good life in the Sheng family...
