Old Madam Li could not bear it any longer. The anger in her heart surged up to her head. She endured it again and again, scratching Madam Qi's hand until it bled. She finally squeezed out a strange laugh from her throat, looked at Shen Chen and Wei An in front of her, and said coldly: "You barged in, first you said I wanted to force my daughter-in-law to death without any reason, now I refute a few words, you said I wanted to offend the princess, in short, you said everything, good or bad, you have the final say."
Her cloudy eyes stared at Wei An and Shen Chen like an angry lion: "You don't treat me as human beings. You come to blame the owner, but you also say that you have suffered a lot of injustice. Since you are here to visit the patient, you have already seen him, and the patient said that he is fine. You should just leave, so that we don't get tired of each other, and don't force me to say anything unpleasant."
These words clearly mean that he no longer considers the Wei family as relatives.
Wei An didn't care at all. He stepped forward and smiled: "I see that my mother-in-law is very busy here, the first wife is injured like this, and my fifth sister is sick. Why don't I take my fifth sister back home?"
Old Madam Li had tried her best to be patient, but when she heard Wei An say that, she couldn't help but glared at her angrily, and said in a vicious voice: "The princess is so young, is it possible that her ears are not working well?! I have already said that she is a member of our family, and we will not let her starve to death, so you can rest assured! If you must take her back, then her husband can come back, divorce her, and you can carry her back, that's it!"
When Nanny Wang saw Shen Chen standing in front of Wei An, she sneered, "Since you want a divorce, why don't you give us the divorce papers at any time? Isn't it the same if we take the person back first?"
Old Madam Li ignored her, sneered, looked at Lin Hai's family, raised her eyebrows and asked, "You just went to the third brother's yard, tell me, did the third brother say that he wanted to go back with them?"
Mother Qi found an opportunity to speak. Facing Wei An and Shen Chen's gaze, she felt cold in her heart, but she still forced a smile and said, "By the way, our Third Madam has already said that she will not go back to her parents' home. You two can go back and say hello to your mother-in-law and let her know that she is safe."
When she was in front of Shen Chen and Wei An, she spoke much more politely and didn't dare to act bossy like she did to Lin Hai's family.
Lin Hai's wife looked at her coldly and said slowly, "Our Third Madam said that she was worried that no one would take care of the young master. If the young master goes back, she will naturally go back too."
Old Madam Li really couldn't stand it anymore this time, and immediately sneered, "Go back with him? Go where? His last name is Li, and he is a male of our Li family, where should he go back with him?! Even if the third son is really divorced, he has to stay in our house! What you said is ridiculous, your mother died a long time ago and no one taught you, so you act so absurdly!" Her face twitched constantly, and she was not afraid at all when she saw Shen Chen's eyes getting colder and colder. She said viciously, "Even if you are a princess, you are still a junior, and women have to learn rules and etiquette. I have said this, and you can go back and tell your old lady! I'm not afraid!"
Shen Chen's patience had reached its limit. He took a step forward and said coldly, "If we follow the rules, you should kneel down and kowtow to the princess first. Your eldest son has asked for a title for you, but he is only a fifth-rank concubine. According to the rules, it is only natural for you to kowtow to the Princess Shouning."
Old Mrs. Li had a stiff neck and refused to move.
Shen Chen turned around to look at Mother Qi and asked coldly, "Is this the rule in your family? You don't have any manners when meeting the princess?"
Mother Qi was complaining in her heart. Facing a Marquis like Shen Chen, she could no longer be as arrogant as before. Just when she didn't know what to do, she heard a noise outside. Soon, the housekeeper ran in in shock: "Oh no! Wang Tuiguan from Shuntian Prefecture is here..."
It’s really coming!
Mother Qi's face became even uglier. She had not expected that Shen Chen could actually do what he said. She went to Shuntian Prefecture to file a complaint and could not help but stay where she was.
Old Mrs. Li was even more terrified and fearful. She pointed at Wei An and Shen Chen, her lips trembling and she couldn't speak.
If the people from Shuntian Prefecture came to the house and saw the situation in this room, and the eldest wife complained a few more times, how could she still be respectable? Where would the face of the Li family be
In my heart, I couldn't help but feel that Shen Chen Wei'an was terrible, as he didn't even know how to cover up the family's dirty laundry.
Regardless of whether Wei Yuyou was divorced or abandoned in the end, would her reputation be good? They didn't care at all and even dared to alert the government.
But then she changed her mind and thought that no matter what, even if the Li family's reputation was ruined today, the Wei family's reputation would definitely not be much better. Old Lady Li laughed again. She even said to the panicked housekeeper, "Since you are here, please come in."
As she spoke, she moved slowly, her eyes fixed gloomily on the pillars under the eaves, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wei An immediately realized that something was wrong. He glanced at Shen Chen and whispered, "Will she..."
Shen Chen glanced at Mother Qi coldly and said, "It seems like there was a funeral in the mansion? Could it be that Mr. Li wants to stay for a few more years?"
How can a person who is so eager to find a way out and get rich overnight endure three more years of mourning
Mother Qi shuddered suddenly and hurried forward to support Mrs. Li.
Old Mrs. Li did have the idea of making a fuss and seeking death, and she also wanted the people of Shuntian Prefecture to see whether she was the one forcing others to die, or others were forcing her to die. But after hearing what Shen Chen said and looking into Shen Chen's eyes, she didn't dare to do it anymore - if she didn't control the timing well, or if Shen Chen deliberately did something bad, then she would really die.
People like her would never want to die.
Anyway, no matter what the family is like, no matter how poor it is, she will never be short of usefulness, and she is still the old lady who has the final say.
Thinking of this, she didn't move.
Wang Tuiguan of Shuntian Prefecture came in with a smile on his face. He greeted Shen Chen and Wei An in a friendly manner, and then listened to Mrs. Li's complaints. He comforted her and asked the clerk to record all the information. Then he said to Mrs. Li respectfully, "Then we'll have to trouble you to come with us."
Old Madam Li was furious: "You just listened to her one-sided story and decided that I murdered her? She is my daughter-in-law, so naturally I should be in charge of her. Is it possible that I, as the mother-in-law, am at fault?!"
Wang Tuiguan smiled and said, "Old lady, this matter is not simple. From what the first wife said, you even drugged the third wife." (To be continued)
