Because of the last incident, the old lady was quiet for three days, and then she started to make trouble again.

Xie Xueqing just found it funny when she heard that the old lady invited her to dinner.

Why didn’t I realize before that my mother-in-law is such a troublemaker?

As Xie Xueqing's right-hand man, Chunyu immediately investigated who the old lady had invited to dinner.

"Madam, Ye from the second house will also be there this time."

Hearing the word "Ye", Xie Xueqing looked dazed for a moment. She was from the second house.

It’s no wonder that Xie Xueqing couldn’t remember. It’s because the people from the second house, both men and women, are too low-key.

When she was in charge of the household, the second wife had no objection at all and just said that it was up to the eldest sister-in-law to make the decision.

Moreover, during the time she was the housekeeper, the second wife never expressed any dissatisfaction.

Did the old lady call the other party over this time to give her a warning?

Thinking of this, Xie Xueqing just felt funny.

All the money spent by the Marquis's family was hers. If anyone really dared to do this, she would quit.

However, since the old lady called the second wife over today, she must have ulterior motives. Since she is a poor person now, her clothes should be a little simple.

When Yan Jin opened her eyes, she saw her mother in a light blue dress. Most of the jewelry on her head had been taken off, and she looked indescribably simple.

[Mom, why are you wearing such simple clothes today? I'm a little uncomfortable with it, but it's still very beautiful overall. I like it!]

Originally, Xie Xueqing was a little dissatisfied with the fact that she looked old in her outfit today, but after hearing her daughter's inner voice, her confidence immediately returned.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror again and felt that her whole body exuded a simple and elegant air. Even without wearing any gold or silver, she would still be so beautiful.

She walked over, held her daughter in her arms, kissed her cheek, and said with a smile, "Grandma is looking for us to have dinner again. Let's meet Second Aunt today!"

[Calling for food again, this is definitely not a good thing! ]

[However, I remember that my second aunt seemed to be a good person. She had intentionally warned my mother about her scumbag father before she discovered his true identity. What a pity...]

Xie Xueqing was slightly stunned when she heard her daughter's inner mumbling.

She had barely spoken to the second wife, yet she acted so helpful.

As long as Yan Jin didn't finish her story, Xie Xueqing knew it was not a good ending without having to guess.

If that's the case, then why is she pretending?

Looking at her rather plain self in the mirror, Xie Xueqing immediately called a maid to help her dress up again.

After a while, her outfit was changed back to the same as before, and the jewelry was even more gorgeous than before.

She looked at her beautiful self in the mirror, and felt refreshed when she thought of the old lady's unwilling expression when she saw her.

In the past, for the sake of her family, she was reluctant to buy jewelry and only wore jewelry from her previous family.

Now, she can't care so much.

It seemed like a simple process of packing and dressing, but before I knew it, two hours had passed.

After Xie Xueqing had packed everything, she carried Yan Jin to the old lady.

Before I went in, I could hear the old lady crying at the door.

"Wan Ning, my life has been truly miserable!"

"Now I can't eat anything I want..."

Xie Xueqing did not rush in, but just stood at the door and listened quietly.

After a while, Ye Wanning didn't say a word, as if she didn't hear the old lady's crying at all.

She curled the corners of her mouth slightly. It seemed that the wife of the second house was really as Jin'er said.

He listened to others talking bad about him for a long time without saying a word. Putting aside other things, at least the character of speaking ill of others behind their backs was enough for Xie Xueqing to look up to the other person.

She walked in holding Yan Jin. A woman about her age, wearing a goose yellow dress, was quietly savoring the food.

The other person has a tranquil temperament, and just sitting there makes people feel calm.

Seeing Xie Xueqing coming, Fang stood up and greeted her, "Sister-in-law."

The old lady's expression changed instantly, which was completely different from what Xie Xueqing had just heard.

"Xueqing, you've been tired all day. Come and try the chicken soup I asked the kitchen to make."

If Xie Xueqing hadn't just heard the whole thing outside, she would have thought she was hallucinating.

Looking at the chicken soup brought over by the old lady, I could only sigh silently in my heart, how could there be such bad people in this world!

Ye Wanning, who was standing aside, was unaware of the intrigues around her. The moment Xie Xueqing entered the room, her eyes were attracted by the child in the woman's arms.

Now that I was sitting closer, I could see Yan Jin more carefully, and I couldn't help but like her.

This kid is so cute!

This is the first time I have seen such a delicate little creature.

The more Ye Wanning looked at her, the more she liked her. Finally, she said to Xie Xueqing awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, can I hug her?"

"Of course!"

As soon as Yan Jin opened his eyes, he saw the gentle Second Madam.

[How beautiful! How come she looks so good!]

[But there is still a gap compared to my mother. My mother is the most beautiful! ]

Originally, Xie Xueqing was a little jealous, thinking that her daughter no longer liked her.

But when I heard the voice behind it, I was instantly satisfied.

Sure enough, no matter what time, in the daughter's heart, mother is the most beautiful.

Because she was only focused on listening to her daughter's thoughts, Xie Xueqing didn't hear what the old lady was saying at all.

After listening carefully, I couldn't help but feel an unprecedented anger in my heart.

The old lady didn't say anything else at this moment, but talked about the jewelry on her head.

"Xueqing, the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion have not been settled yet. You shouldn't be so extravagant. These red hairpins are really expensive."

"Also, your clothes should be newly made too!"

"Now that the Marquis' Mansion has lost its head of household, even if there is a betrothal gift, it must be restrained..."

"Hey, Xueqing, don't think too much about it. I was just saying it casually."

Originally, the old lady came here today to find fault with Xie Xueqing, but now her clothes have become the best target of attack.

If it were in the past, Xie Xueqing might have felt ashamed and embarrassed by the old lady's words, but now she was filled with disdain.

What are you doing with the money you earn if you don't spend it? Are you using it to raise someone else's son?

Perhaps because her eyes were too sharp, the old lady turned the topic to the second wife who was sitting there quietly teasing the child.

"Look at this, the second child has already started drinking porridge. As the eldest lady, she actually made new clothes. How can others think about their lives? She should keep a low profile."

"Wan Ning, tell me, am I right?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Ye Wanning.
