Zhou was so angry that she didn't even eat breakfast and immediately packed her things to go to the Li family's house.

"Let's go now. I want to see how the Li family will mistreat my daughter."

I originally planned to send the visiting card first and then go there later.

It seems unnecessary now; a surprise inspection might reveal something different.

"Mother, don't you want some breakfast?"

"I'm so angry I'm full, I can't eat anything."

Zhou, accompanied by Su Yujiao, went to the Li family in a menacing manner. Upon arriving at the Li family, she immediately ordered her men to control the gatekeepers and prevent them from reporting the news.

"Mrs. Lu, what brings you here?"

"Can't I come?"

Seeing Zhou's hostile demeanor, the Li family's steward was so frightened that he kept bowing and scraping.

Where are your husband and wife?

"Having breakfast in the dining room."

The steward immediately gave a wink to the servant next to him, signaling him to go and inform the servant in advance.

Although it is unknown why Madam Lu is so angry, it is necessary for the master and mistress to inform her.

"Stop right there! Nobody move! Are you afraid I'll see something I shouldn't?"

The butler immediately bowed and apologized: "Madam Lu is joking. There is nothing that you shouldn't have seen."

"This old servant will take you there now."

"I don't need you to lead me. I know where the dining room is."

The people behind Zhou stared intently at all of Li's servants, who were so frightened that they stood rooted to the spot and dared not move.

As the saying goes, "even a dog of lower rank is worth three ranks in front of the Prime Minister's mansion," meaning that the servants of the General's mansion had a more imposing presence than the servants of the Li mansion.

When Zhou and Su Yujiao arrived at the dining room, the entire Li family was having their meal. They did not see Lu Ziwei serving her parents-in-law.

Zhou's anger subsided slightly, perhaps because what Mo Feng and Mo Ying saw last night was just an occasional occurrence.

The Li family was all taken aback when they saw Zhou Shi and a young woman suddenly appear at the entrance of the dining room.

Lord Li was so frightened that he immediately stood up, while Madam Li seemed to have forgotten to react and remained seated.

After Lord Li got up, Madam Zhou noticed that there was another person kneeling next to Madam Li, massaging her legs and feet.

Zhou swayed slightly as her precious daughter knelt on the ground, massaging someone's legs.

Upon seeing this scene, she felt as if her blood had frozen, her eyes widened in shock, and her mind went completely blank.

Su Yujiao was also furious, and it seemed that she used all her self-control to suppress the urge to curse.

Zhou was not so tolerant; she reacted by angrily overturning the dining table.

"Ah..." The people at the table screamed and stood up in fright.

"I had no idea that my Lu family's young lady had become your Li family's maid?"

"Madam Li, you certainly have quite the airs. You expect my General's daughter to kneel and serve you just for a meal?"

"My Weiwei is the Empress's most beloved niece and the Crown Prince's most favored cousin."

"Lord Li is only a minor official of the fourth rank now, and your wife already has such a grand entourage. If she is promoted in the future, won't she have to be served by the Empress and the Crown Prince personally?"

Li Guangfa was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud. Madam Li was so frightened that she went limp and slid off the chair to her knees.

The younger members of the Li family stood to the side, unsure whether to kneel or not, frozen in place, unsure of how to react.

Lu Ziwei was also a little confused, but seeing her mother's furious outburst, she knew that her mother had misunderstood.

She tried to get up to explain, but found that she had been kneeling for a while and her legs were numb, so she couldn't stand up for a moment.

Su Yujiao quickly stepped forward to help the person up, and Lu Ziwei looked at her gratefully: "Jiaojiao, what brings you here too?"

"I came with my mother to see you."

"Is this the kind of life you lived in the Li family?"

Lu Ziwei hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no, you've misunderstood."

“It’s getting cold, and my mother-in-law has a problem with cold legs, so I massage them for her.”

“My mother-in-law treats me like her own daughter, and I am willing to be filial to her.”

“My mother-in-law was worried that the ground was cold, so she had someone prepare a mat for me.”

Lu Ziwei pointed to the cotton mat on the ground, looked at Madam Li with gratitude, and then hurriedly reached out to help her up.

Su Yujiao was so angry she almost laughed, speechless and at a loss for words.

This scene reminded her of a joke, a netizen's complaint about a certain luxury brand's 8,000 yuan slippers.

He could have just robbed me, but he insisted on giving me a pair of slippers instead.

Madam Li was quite ruthless; she could have made her daughter-in-law kneel directly, but she insisted on giving her a cotton cushion instead.

Lu Ziwei helped Madam Li up, but Madam Li dared not get up. She knew in her heart what she had done, and now she felt very guilty in front of Zhou Shi.

Lu Ziwei walked up to Zhou Shi and explained, "Mother, please don't be angry."

"Things aren't as you think; you've really misunderstood."

“My in-laws have been very good to me and have never let my daughter suffer the slightest grievance.”

Zhou's lips trembled with anger. Seeing her daughter still speaking up for the Li family, she felt a sense of helpless disappointment.

"She made you kneel and serve her, and that's what she calls being good to you?"

"Ask Jiaojiao, when have I ever made them kneel and serve me?"

“Even though I didn’t like your second sister-in-law at first, I never treated her like this.”

"She keeps saying she treats you like her own daughter, so why wouldn't she let her own daughter serve her?"

Zhou pointed at Li Rongniang, her chest aching with anger.

"Madam Li, one must have a conscience."

"Your daughter's engagement to the son of the Minister of War is all thanks to Weiwei."

"If Weiwei hadn't repeatedly asked me to find a good match for Li Rongniang, I wouldn't have bothered to arrange it."

"Your Li family is quite something. Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also trying every trick in the book to get Weiwei's dowry to embellish your daughter's reputation."

"Hmph! A daughter from a humble family, does she deserve the twelve jade hairpins bestowed by Empress Dai?"

Li Rongniang stood in the crowd, her face turning pale and then flushed with shame, before finally running away in tears.

"Wang Ma, go and bring back all of Miss's dowry, including what she gave away. We'll leave today."

"If you know what's good for you, you'll obediently send the divorce papers to the General's Mansion."

"If you don't know what's good for you, then the imperial decree for divorce will be issued in a few days."

The Zhou family went all out, scaring the Li family so much that they didn't dare utter a single word.

"Weiwei, come on, Mother will find you a better family." Zhou Shi pulled Lu Ziwei's hand and walked out.

Lu Ziwei realized what was happening and abruptly shook off Zhou Shi's hand, shouting angrily, "Mother, stop making a scene!"

"Why are you always so willful? Have you ever considered my feelings?"

“I’ve explained everything to you. Everything I did was what I wanted to do. My in-laws have been very good to me and haven’t made me feel wronged.”

What are you doing?

“This is the Li family home, not the General’s mansion. If you want to cause trouble, go back home. I’m not going with you.”

Zhou was so angry that she clutched her chest, feeling utterly heartbroken.

She was acting like a shrew, all to support her, but the woman didn't understand her good intentions and publicly humiliated her.

"Fine, since this is your own choice, then you can continue to suffer here."

"I'm not going to care about you anymore."
