“Grandma,” Huang Chuan said with a bitter smile, “if she really goes this far, I will not tolerate it any longer.”

He has a peaceful nature, but he is not without principles.

He could tolerate all of Wang's little quirks, but he would never back down on the issues of the elderly and children.

"I hope so."

Grandma Jiang didn't have much hope.

His grandson is good in every way, except that he lacks the decisiveness of his own daughter and is always indecisive and hesitant in doing things.

Especially regarding the Wang family.

“You two continue discussing,” Huang Chuan said absentmindedly, his mind preoccupied with the children. He quickly replied, “I’ll go check on Da Niu and the others first. We’ll talk about Wang Shi when I get back.”

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

After he left, the others immediately asked questions.

"Mother," Huang Xiaosan said, utterly bewildered, "has my sister-in-law gone mad? How could she hit a child?"

Are you out of your mind?!

Why bully a child? If you're really upset, slapping yourself a few times is more effective than anything else.

Huang Xiaosan was furious at the thought of his nephew and niece being abused at such a young age.

"It's all because you spoil her," the old lady sneered. "If you had suppressed her so much last time she had a tantrum that she couldn't hold her head up, she wouldn't have dared to do it even if you gave her two lives."

"Mother, it's too late to say anything now."

"Know."

Upon hearing those two words, the old lady was filled with regret, and her resentment towards Wang Shi grew even stronger.

"Fine, you two figure it out yourselves, just don't let me see her."

After stating her bottom line, the old lady left dejectedly.

"Mother, are you really letting my eldest brother handle my sister-in-law's matter?"

"What? You're worried?"

"Mother," Huang Xiaosan couldn't help but voice his concern, "Do you really believe in Big Brother?"

"Whether you believe it or not is not important," Jiang Nuan shrugged. "She's his wife. We outsiders can't interfere in their business, not even their parents or brothers."

"Why not? We're the closest people to our eldest brother."

"Are there any couples who are close?" Jiang Nuan rolled her eyes at her son, annoyed. "Young couples grow old together. They are the ones who share life and death. How can we compare?"

He paused, then asked jokingly, "In other words, if the boss got involved in your marriage, would you agree?"

“Of course not,” Huang Lao Er refused without hesitation. “Even if we are brothers, we should still avoid certain things.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaosan realized what was happening and said, "That's right."

However, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease. After a long silence, she asked, frustrated, "If our elder brother doesn't handle this, are we just supposed to keep letting it go?"

"Of course not. No family should always accommodate a junior. No matter how your elder brother handles it, Wang Shi will never come back, or neither of them should come back."

Actually, Jiang Nuan was somewhat hoping that her son would keep the person and take them to the capital.

Given the couple's personalities, they're bound to cause a lot of trouble in the future, which will be a good opportunity to teach the eldest brother a lesson for his chivalry.

However, doing so would be tantamount to using the Wang family as a whetstone, which is quite unkind. Even though Jiang Nuan was somewhat tempted, she did not take any action.

In her view, Wang could be punished or killed for making a mistake, but deliberately tormenting her was inappropriate.

"That's good."

The two brothers exchanged a glance and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

They really dared not leave someone at home alone, fearing that one day when no one was home, their child would also be abused.

"Aunt," feeling that the family matters were almost settled, Jiang Chao cleared her throat and said, "I just arranged for Grand Secretary An to stay in Uncle Liu's courtyard. Go and comfort Uncle Liu later; he's not in a good mood."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan's expression became subtle, and her gaze towards her nephew became meaningful. "You actually arranged for the two of them to be in the same courtyard?"

Isn't this just deliberately causing trouble?

Jiang Chao explained innocently, "There's no spare yard left in the house."

Jiang Nuanxin said this.

There were indeed no empty courtyards, but there were plenty of courtyards where one person could squeeze in. Why insist on arranging for two people who had just become enemies to be together? Wasn't that revenge?

With such a vengeful heart, it's no wonder Liu An called him a wolf cub.

However, it's not a big deal.

Jiang Nuan glanced at her nephew with a half-smile and then let the matter drop. "We didn't neglect Liu An when he came, and we can't treat Grand Secretary An differently either. Tonight's welcoming banquet is up to you."

After saying that, a feeling of relief suddenly arose, like the clouds parting to reveal the moon.

As her children grew up, she was finally able to relinquish her responsibilities as a mother-in-law.

"Mother, what about you?"

"I'm busy."

After saying this, he left in a hurry without paying attention to the reactions of the others.

She originally intended to go directly to the backyard, as she had already mastered the Three Talents Formation and was now completely absorbed in it.

Thinking of Jiang Chao's words, she turned and went to Liu An's courtyard.

At this moment, Liu An, like a wronged little wife, was having her belongings moved to the side hall.

When Grand Secretary An arrived, he insisted on staying in the main house, which was quite domineering. Liu An was indignant but dared not provoke him, so he could only move his belongings out.

He wasn't afraid under normal circumstances, but he had just dug a pit for Liu Xun and was waiting to bury him with a shovel. He couldn't let An Qingyun interfere and ruin everything.

Seeing Liu An moving house with red eyes and no courage to speak out, Grand Secretary An felt a surge of satisfaction.

Every cause has its effect, and your retribution, Liu An, is me.

You stabbed me in the back so swiftly back then, you never expected this day to come, did you?

Forced to leave the capital with the Huang brothers, he was already feeling quite uncomfortable, but seeing Liu An, who was in even more distress, made Grand Secretary An feel much better.

The enemy suffers more than you do; any resentment in your heart can be completely ignored.

"Hurry up," Elder An said with a smirk. "It's getting dark soon, and I can't keep waiting for you."

"What's the rush?" Liu An couldn't help but put his hands on his hips. "We'll definitely finish moving before dark, and I promise you won't catch a cold."

That old bastard, all he knows is bullying me. I'll get my revenge when I get the chance.

Liu An felt very wronged.

He wasn't the only one who attacked the An family; he was just a lowly henchman following orders. Why was An Qingyun so fixated on him?

And those few bastards, we worked so hard to plan for them, but they repaid kindness with enmity. It's infuriating!

She glared angrily at An Qingyun, then turned away indignantly, continuing to grumble and direct people to move things.

"Stop dawdling!"

After uttering those two words with disdain, Grand Secretary An lay down on the rosewood rocking chair he had specially brought from the capital and closed his eyes slightly.

A cool breeze blows by, taking away the summer heat and carrying the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms, making people feel relaxed.

When Jiang Nuan arrived, she saw this scene: Grand Secretary An was leisurely and calmly reclining in a rocking chair, enjoying the cool air, while Liu An was leaning against the door frame, panting heavily, covered in sweat.

After clearing her mind of the strangeness with two light coughs, Jiang Nuan greeted him warmly, "Elder An, I have long admired your name."

"The Lady Protector of the Nation?"

When Grand Secretary An opened his eyes and saw the person who had come, he hurriedly stood up and said, "I was rude, I hope you will forgive me, Madam."
