Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother asked dejectedly, "Is there still a choice?"

Mr. Wang was quite taken aback by these words. "I didn't come here to discuss this with you, to see if there are any other solutions?"

To be honest, he didn't want to leave his daughter at home.

It's not a good look, and it will affect the whole family, but I can't bear to force my own daughter to die.

"Yes, you could send them straight to a nunnery, but would you really be willing to do that?"

“It’s not a matter of whether I’m willing or not,” Mr. Wang said hesitantly. “My daughter is, after all, a member of the Huang family. Wouldn’t doing this be a clear indication that she’s committed a serious mistake and is being kicked out?”

"So there's no need to discuss it at all," Wang's mother sighed helplessly. "Just agree. Who told us to raise our daughter like this? We can't refuse, we'd be too ashamed."

"really!"

The father was also helpless about this.

They have no confidence to refuse their own daughter when she makes a mistake. If they anger their son-in-law, he might divorce her, which would be even worse.

"So that's how it's supposed to be?" Father Wang was still somewhat uncertain.

“Yes,” said Wang’s mother, feeling exhausted. “She brought this upon herself, so no one can be blamed. Besides, the Huang family didn’t completely ignore her or let her eat for free at her parents’ home.”

"Okay then!"

The father sighed deeply and finally gave in.

After finalizing the matter, Huang Chuan felt awkward and didn't linger. He exchanged a few pleasantries, didn't eat, and left immediately.

After Huang Chuan left, the atmosphere in the Wang family changed completely. Without a word, Wang's mother slapped her daughter hard across the face, saying, "Serves you right for being so difficult. Are you satisfied now?"

"mother!"

Wang's eyes were brimming with tears, filled with grievance and accusation.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother snorted coldly, "I'm not a man, I won't fall for your act. The Huang family is living a good life, why do you have to suffer? I'll grant your wish. Go, wash all the clothes piled up in the house. If you don't finish washing them, you won't eat dinner tonight!"

“Mother,” Wang said, dissatisfied, “Didn’t my husband say he would give you money for food? I didn’t eat for free.”

"So what? In the Wang family, you have to abide by the Wang family's rules. If you want to act like a Marquis's wife, you'll have to be able to go back to the Huang family first!"

The Queen Mother truly wished she could beat her daughter to death. She had never seen such a scourge, capable of ruining her own husband's marquisate. For this alone, she deserved whatever fate befall her.

She felt sorry for her grandsons, whose bright futures had been ruined by this unreliable mother.

Wang didn't want to be wronged and subconsciously wanted her husband to take charge, only to suddenly realize her predicament.

Now, her in-laws despise her, and her husband has lost interest in her. Her own family is her last refuge. If even her own family becomes impatient with her, then in this vast world, there may be no place for her to go.

After thinking it through, Wang clenched her fingers, her face grim, and left without saying a word.

“There’s no need to make things difficult for her,” Mr. Wang said, somewhat reluctantly. “She’s not feeling good about it either.”

What good can a woman possibly have if she has no skills, is disliked by her husband's family, and is not loved by her husband?

"Do you think I enjoy abusing my own daughter? No matter how bad she is, she's still my daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. Isn't it all for the sake of our family having a peaceful life in the future?" Wang's mother snorted and continued, "Don't you, as her father, know what kind of person she is? The more you spoil her, the more trouble she'll cause. If you don't want the house to be in chaos, don't be too good to her in the future."

Upon hearing this, the father was speechless, unable to find a reason to refute it.

Finally, she spoke up sullenly, "I'll do whatever you say."

His daughter was his own flesh and blood, his son was his own flesh and blood, and his daughter-in-law was about to have a grandson. He couldn't let one person ruin the peace of the family. He understood this very well.

“That’s right,” said Madam Wang, squinting her eyes. “The Huang family spoils her because they are kind. We don’t have the Huang family’s resources, and I don’t have the patience of my in-laws. Even if she doesn’t want to change, we’ll force her to change. At worst, we’ll fight it out for the rest of our lives. Who’s afraid of who?”

She would accept it even if it meant she abused her own daughter.

The son-in-law has already been harmed to this state, and the grandsons are clever and sensible; they cannot be dragged down by this mindless mother.

"You make the decision. If it can be changed, we'll help mediate. If not, we'll build another house for her to move out of."

"Um!"

Huang Chuan was unaware of the Wang family's affairs.

After sending Wang Shi to the Wang family, he returned to the mountain and wept bitterly.

I can't explain why, but I just felt like I needed to vent.

After a night of calming down, he tidied himself up and returned to the main courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

"Is everything arranged?"

"Yes, I sent her back to her parents' home. From now on, she just needs to give me money on time."

"Can you guarantee she won't come back?" Without hesitation, the old lady asked her concern directly.

“My father-in-law promised to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t run back.”

“Alright then,” the old lady waved her hand, “Go and see Da Niu and the others.”

"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, Mom!"

After finishing his sentence, Boss Huang excitedly ran out.

After her eldest grandson left, the old lady spoke thoughtfully, "Da Chuan still has feelings for Wang Shi!"

His tone was very confident.

Jiang Nuan wasn't surprised. "After all, they were a young couple, so there's bound to be some lingering affection."

"So that's why you didn't force them to divorce?"

"I don't think so," Jiang Nuan said, unsure how to explain. She sorted out her thoughts before speaking. "Feelings are a special thing. The greater the pressure, the stronger they become. But people change. They become more mature, more rational, and also more distant."

"The eldest brother is indeed reluctant now, but after experiencing more things, even if we no longer get involved, we won't be as indifferent as before."

Jiang Nuan could easily guess the outcome for the two of them; they would inevitably drift apart, at most in three to five years.

That makes sense!

The old lady agreed with this statement.

When they first separated, although she hated him, she still missed the old man a little. As time went by, she would only think of him occasionally, and her feelings faded. The hatred was gone, and so was the affection.

After thinking for a moment, the old lady asked another question, "What do you plan to do with him? Keep him at home or let him go?"

“It’s too comfortable at home, he won’t make any progress. Let him go to the capital. My mother needs someone there, let him go and help.”

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate?" the old lady asked hesitantly. "How about we let him go to the Northwest to enlist with the second son?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan couldn't help but laugh, "Is the capital really that terrible? Worse than enlisting in the army?"

“It’s different for others than for the eldest son,” the old lady said with a headache. “Da Chuan used to be a marquis, but now he’s a commoner. Putting aside the difference in status, he’ll feel uncomfortable even when he sees your mother. And everyone in the capital is shrewd. I don’t know how they’ll laugh at him.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan remained unmoved, saying, "That's what he deserves."

These words left the old lady speechless.

She realized that her grandson had done too many unreliable things in the past, which had completely angered his daughter-in-law. Although his daughter-in-law did not dwell on the past, she did not intend to let it go easily either.
