My wife wants a divorce; if she ruins my life, I'll leave.

What? You've offended Princess Yangcheng?

No wonder they were able to attract the attention of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

Who is Princess Yangcheng? She is the current emperor's sister, the daughter of Consort Zhao, the wife of the heir of the Marquis of Yong'an, and the mother of Yu Yan, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

Song Chen'an frowned, looking puzzled, and shouted sharply, "What exactly did you do?"

Their argument attracted a lot of people, and the people from Qingfeng Academy all gathered at the entrance.

Lin's mother squeezed between the two, blocking Song Chen'an, and said with a smile, "Second Master, what do you want to say? Let's go inside and talk. It's windy outside, don't turn around and catch a cold."

She kept giving Meng Ruohua meaningful glances from the shadows, trying to get her to say something conciliatory.

But Meng Ruohua stubbornly refused to move, ignoring Lin's mother's hints.

He's so stubborn!

Lin's mother sighed helplessly. This girl has been stubborn since she was a child, and she still hasn't learned to restrain herself after getting married!

Having no other choice, she could only give Linglong and Yuye meaningful glances, suggesting that they at least get inside first, otherwise they would become a laughingstock in front of the entire mansion.

But Song Chen'an couldn't wait for their persuasion and kept pressing them, "What exactly did you do? You'd better tell me now, or don't blame me for ignoring you!"

"What business is it of yours? What have you ever done to me?" Meng Ruohua's tone was calm, but her words struck a nerve with Song Chen'an.

When your mother-in-law scolds her in front of everyone, do you do anything about it?

Lu Ningshuang flaunted her pregnant belly in front of her, did you ever care?

When Song Tian was being extremely rude and aggressive towards her, did you ever do anything about it?

No matter what you say now, Meng Ruohua has long since given up on expecting you to care!

As she watched the growing number of people in the distance, she felt increasingly calm.

If there were no expectations, how could there be disappointment?

Seeing Song Chen'an's cowardly and selfish behavior with my own eyes still left me somewhat disappointed.

"Second Master Song, don't worry, I know you..." She deliberately looked him up and down, her eyes filled with mockery, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Don't worry, I won't implicate you!"

I know you're incompetent.

"The Meng family!"

It was as if the layer of clothing draped over her body had been peeled off, and the secrets buried deep in her heart were laid bare before everyone. Song Chen'an was stung by her laughter and lowered his voice to rebuke her heavily: "You and I are husband and wife, we are one, if one suffers, we suffer together. If you cause trouble, won't you implicate me?"

He frowned impatiently, letting out a long breath in an attempt to suppress his anger. But the moment he looked up, he saw Meng Ruohua's indifferent and fearless expression, and his anger, which he had not yet suppressed, surged even higher.

She was the one who caused the trouble, so why does she have such a nonchalant expression? Is she sure the Song family will stand up for her?

But with the Embroidered Uniform Guard involved, how could it be a simple matter?

"I don't care what trouble you've caused, you deal with it yourself, and don't involve the Song family's name!"

Listen to this! What kind of talk is this!

Looking at his increasingly ugly face, Meng Ruohua felt nauseous. She really couldn't understand how she could have tolerated him for so many years!

"Just say I'm a daughter of the Meng family and have nothing to do with your Song family!" She straightened her back, turned around and walked forward. "The trouble I, Meng Ruohua, have caused will certainly not implicate you, Song Chen'an."

This is true now, and it always will be!

Of course, the trouble your Song family caused won't affect her!

Madam Lin looked left and right, and finally pulled Song Chen'an aside to explain, "Second Master, please don't be angry. The Second Young Mistress has always been sensible and wouldn't cause trouble for no reason. There must be some misunderstanding. I'll find out and let you know." She smiled apologetically, "Husband and wife can talk things out and be fine. How can you really be angry?"

Song Chen'an stared at her stubborn back as if he hadn't heard her, his chest churning with anger. What? The Meng family girl has nothing to do with my Song family? Aren't you the young mistress of the Song family? You're not my legal wife, Song Chen'an's wife!

It wasn't until Lin Mama's laughter pulled him back to reality that he impatiently glanced around and discovered that there were quite a few servants watching the commotion.

There's absolutely no sense of discipline!

The housekeeper is no good, but he's a master at causing trouble!

He gave an impatient snort, flicked his sleeve, and left.

If you don't tell me, I'll send people to investigate. I refuse to believe that without you, Meng Ruohua, I can't find out what happened.

All that remained was Lin's mother's awkward laughter echoing around. After a moment, she stiffened her face and yelled, "What are you looking at? Don't you have anything better to do?"

The onlookers quietly left, but those who walked in twos and threes were whispering, clearly discussing what had just happened.

Lin's mother's lips turned down, and her expression was gloomy and uncertain.

The second young mistress was already looked down upon by those old servants because she had lost her power to manage the household. Today, she quarreled with the second master in front of everyone. Who knows what they will say about her tomorrow!

She walked slowly back to Qingfeng Courtyard. The maids in the courtyard scattered and hid when they saw her.

"I'll deal with you properly tomorrow!" she muttered to herself.

They've only been home for a few days, and their skin has already loosened up. We'll tighten it up for them tomorrow!

Lin's mother straightened her clothes, brushed off any non-existent dust, and entered the main room with her head held high.

Inside the room, Linglong and Yuye were helping Meng Ruohua change into loose clothes. The three of them spoke in silence, without making a sound.

After glaring at Linglong, Lin's mother then glared at Yuye, saying she was useless and only knew how to follow the second young mistress around, never offering any advice.

Being a servant isn't just about obeying orders; it's about thinking about things your master wouldn't consider and advising them against doing certain things!

I've followed her for so many years, and she hasn't made any progress at all.

After Meng Ruohua sat down comfortably, Lin's mother stepped forward and handed her a cup of tea.

"What is it that the Second Young Mistress and the Second Master are arguing about?"

Meng Ruohua took a sip of her drink slowly before saying, "I didn't argue with him; he was the one who wanted to argue with me."

Huh? I clearly saw that the second young mistress made the second master quite angry, and this isn't considered an argument?

Mrs. Lin instantly lost her spirit. What could she say to such an unyielding second young mistress?

"Second Young Madam, you should talk things out with Second Master properly. Don't start arguing all the time," Madam Lin advised after a moment's thought.

“Nanny, I didn’t mean to argue with him. He was just being unreasonable!” Meng Ruohua instructed Yu Ye to prepare dinner before saying, “Don’t worry, Nanny, it was just a few words. It’s nothing serious.”

It's no big deal. How long has it been since Second Master stayed at Qingfeng Courtyard?

Lin's mother still wholeheartedly supports Meng Ruohua and is genuinely worried about her. She couldn't help but ask, "You two have always been harmonious since you got married. What has caused this recent commotion?"

“You’re stubborn and refuse to back down, so you just keep putting on a brave face. But we women have to know when to bow our heads, especially in this deep mansion. Without a man’s respect, even the servants dare to trample on us.”

Before Meng Ruohua could reply, Lin's mother quickly said, "With the Meng family standing by, the Song family naturally won't treat you badly. But if they do something underhanded behind our backs, won't we be unhappy and dissatisfied?"

In her previous life, Meng Ruohua was persuaded in this way, and of course, she also wholeheartedly wanted to be a virtuous wife and loving mother.

But now, Meng Ruohua just wants to live a carefree life!

Although these words were indeed meant to help her, she had no intention of living according to worldly rules after being reborn!

She raised her hand to stop Lin's mother from continuing, "Nanny, I know you mean well, but some things aren't something you can just back down from and expect the other person to give in."

They will not only refuse to give in, but they will also go further.

Lu Ningshuang gave birth to two sons born out of wedlock, wasn't it because she compromised from the very beginning?

Her first compromise was allowing Lü Ningshuang into the house, and her second compromise was allowing Lü Ningshuang to become pregnant, which led to her becoming increasingly arrogant later on.

Nowadays, she's fine if others don't bother her, but if anyone does, she'll definitely settle scores and seek revenge.

Upon returning to his room, Song Chen'an summoned the coachman who had driven him that day and, after asking him a few questions, finally understood that it was Princess Yangcheng who had sent that Imperial Guard to escort Lady Meng back to the mansion!

Is it really that simple?

What was Meng Shi trying to evade by making up all sorts of excuses?
