He felt ashamed!

Other people's wives, even if they're not exactly virtuous wives, or even if they're a burden, wouldn't be as shameful and embarrassing as his wife, making him a laughingstock.

But they thought they had hidden their little thoughts very well.

It was his responsibility, but he really didn't want to cause trouble for himself. If he got entangled, he would have to find a way to get out.

"Tell me," Huang asked in a deep voice after Liu An left, "what is Madam Liu planning?"

"Isn't it obvious enough? We only have a few things that could make people take advantage of us, and haven't we encountered enough of those things in the last few days?"

"Good heavens," Boss Huang rubbed his forehead, "In the past, I only had to deal with men, but now I have to deal with women too."

Why are there so many twists and turns in Beijing? I'm constantly doubting myself, always feeling like my brain can't keep up.

"Just bear with it a little longer, and you'll be home soon."

“Jiang Chao and I won’t be coming tomorrow,” Huang Lao Er said with a smile. “We’re going to visit General Tian, ​​so we won’t be with you.”

"No, it's better if all four of us brothers are together. If you two leave, and something like this happens again, we won't even have anyone to talk to!"

"What are you afraid of? If they try to be gentle, ignore them. If they try to be tough, just take action. As long as you don't suffer any losses, it's fine."

Although Huang Lao Er's words were crude, the reasoning behind them was indeed correct.

The Huang family's status is indeed special, and they certainly don't need to worry about things like others.

After a long silence, Old Master Huang asked, "What if Madam Liu comes again?"

“We can only turn to Uncle Liu,” Jiang Chao shrugged. “With only her, it’s difficult for us to handle this.”

"Strange," Huang Xiaosan wondered, "What exactly is Uncle Liu doing back in Beijing this time? Is he just making a show of himself? It's a big taboo to cause discord in the inner quarters, especially since he's donated all his wealth. Does he expect to continue to accommodate the other party like before?"

“Who knows what that old fox is thinking? He definitely won’t be able to hold out for long,” Jiang Chao said confidently. “Just wait and see, he’ll definitely make a move before we leave the capital.”

Having finally recovered his health and was ready to have a son, he absolutely could not continue to let two such a huge threat go unchecked.

Jiang Chao once suspected that Liu An's main purpose in coming to the capital was this.

Unfortunately, the old fox remained calm and composed. Even though he had the advantage of timing and location, he did nothing, as if he was waiting for the mother and son to do something.

"My head hurts," Huang Laoda said helplessly, patting himself. "Ever since I came to the capital, my head has never stopped, constantly thinking about these conspiracies and schemes."

He misses home, he really does.

He also wanted to back down, and doubted whether he could gain a foothold in the capital.

“We’ve only just gotten to this point. You’ll have a lot of headaches to deal with later,” Jiang Chao said seriously. “Cousin, as you’ve seen, any woman in the capital can be quite cunning. You need to be careful with your sister-in-law and not follow in Uncle Liu’s footsteps.”

“I understand,” Huang Chuan’s face darkened. “Uncle Liu has reminded me many times.”

He knew his wife had serious problems, but he always felt that as long as he kept himself pure and worked hard, he wouldn't cause any major trouble.

Only after experiencing it firsthand did I realize that my thinking was far too simplistic.

The capital city is truly a place where hidden talents abound, and one cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

"So what are you planning to do?" Huang Xiaosan also became serious. "Old habits die hard. The family has put in so much effort but still couldn't change my sister-in-law's ways. I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future."

After a long silence, Huang Chuan spoke softly, "Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on things."

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent, only shaking their heads in regret.

They've said what they needed to say, and there's nothing they can do if others don't listen.

Wangjia Village.

After being sent out, Wang's tears of grievance never stopped.

Seeing her pathetic state, the Queen Mother couldn't help but scold her coldly, "What are you crying for? Aren't you ashamed enough already?"

She was actually sent back to her husband's family for a long stay, and even though they said it was just for a few days, she still felt ashamed and embarrassed.

"Mother, can't you feel sorry for your daughter?"

"I feel sorry for you, but who feels sorry for me?" The Queen Mother was furious. "I told you last time to tone down your temper in your husband's family and not be spoiled. What did you do then?"

The Queen Mother was truly impressed.

Is this girl out of her mind? She just has to ruin everything.

So what if she's a concubine? She's not the son-in-law's concubine, so what's it to her?

She's someone who should be treated well by her mother-in-law, yet she gives others the cold shoulder. Does she think that now that she's the wife of a marquis, the whole family has to cater to her?

Wang felt even more aggrieved. "Mother, I neither talked back to my mother-in-law nor had any arguments with my sister-in-law."

"My daughter, can't you be more careful?" The mother was very annoyed. "You didn't do these things, but what you did was even more taboo. Do you even know who the Grand Secretary is?"

Aside from the Emperor, they were the most powerful people, people whose every stomp of their feet could shake three circles. Not to mention concubines, even their servants had plenty of people trying to curry favor with them.

"I know."

But she really didn't think anything of it.

His Majesty has seen it all before; it's nothing special, nothing like the mythical figures portrayed in operas.

Wang didn't feel the same reverence as others; she always regarded them as ordinary people.

Seeing her daughter's indifferent attitude, the Queen Mother was extremely worried.

He wanted to slap his daughter to wake her up, but then he thought about her current situation and silently put his hand down.

"How could I have given birth to such a stupid daughter!"

This is practically a debt!

"Mother, I am your own daughter."

Wang's tears started flowing again.

“If she weren’t my own daughter, I would have chased her out with a broom long ago,” Wang’s mother said as sharply as ever. “Do you even know your own situation? Instead of keeping a low profile, you keep causing trouble. Do you think your position is too secure? Or do you think your in-laws are easy to bully?”

"Don't think that having children will guarantee your status. Let's not even talk about how a woman who can't even have children will be divorced sooner or later. The Huang family doesn't lack women who can have children right now."

"But my daughter will always be the legal wife. No matter how noble other women are in the future, they will never surpass me."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother nearly choked. Was that what she meant?

She just wanted to remind her daughter to be more careful and behave herself, lest she push her husband away.

Is this girl stupid?

Many women yearn for their husbands to stay by their side, but she seems completely indifferent.

"No wonder your mother-in-law wanted to send you back. If it were me, I would have just given her a letter of divorce to save her from bringing trouble to the family!"

"Mother, why do you always say these things? Can't you think about your daughter for once?"

Why do I still suffer so much injustice even after becoming the wife of a marquis?

Who has ever lived such a stifling life?

"I don't care about you?" The Queen Mother looked at her in disbelief. "If I didn't care about you, would I waste all this breath? Do you think I'm just bored?"

"But you never understand me."

Seeing Wang's unrepentant attitude, Wang's mother was completely speechless. "Just keep acting like this!"
