One was playing the victim and acting pitiful, while the other two were babbling away in front of Grandma Sheng, portraying Gu Wanwan and Fu Wanning as ruthless and vicious women, completely unaware of Grandma Sheng's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Feng Sao was confident that Grandma Sheng was indignant about Qin Feifei's plight, so she added fuel to the fire, saying, "I know that Miss Feifei's status is not as noble as Grandpa Gu's granddaughter, but she is still your granddaughter-in-law and represents the face of the Sheng family. The Gu family hitting Miss Feifei is tantamount to openly declaring war on the Sheng family."

While feigning tears to gain sympathy, Qin Feifei did not forget to maintain her kind image in front of the Sheng family. "Grandpa and Grandma, although my hair is ruined, please don't fall out with the Gu family because of me. It's not worth it... As the future daughter-in-law of the Sheng family, I should be tolerant and magnanimous and maintain friendly relations between the two families. It's okay for me to suffer a little. Whether the Gu family did it intentionally or unintentionally, I hope Grandma will not blame Gu Wanwan and her sister-in-law."

The others present were speechless upon hearing this. Just now, he had been insisting that he wasn't trying to sow discord between the Gu and Sheng families, but every word he said was actually trying to drive a wedge between the two families. He was really looking for trouble.

Madam Sheng refused to let it go easily, her attitude remaining relentless. "No, we can't just let it go like this. If you do something wrong, you should correct it in time. There's an old saying that 'even a prince is subject to the same laws as a commoner.' As the granddaughter of a meritorious official, you should set an example. If Old Master Gu finds out that his granddaughter is abusing her power and acting recklessly, he might just put justice before family."

"When Old Master Gu returns to the city, I must have a good talk with him. The Gu family's daughter is in need of discipline. If the Gu family doesn't know how to discipline her, I don't mind sending Aunt Feng over to teach her properly. She will surely transform Comrade Gu completely."

"Comrade Gu, you must understand that it is not me asking you to apologize, but you must beg my daughter-in-law for forgiveness."

She deliberately announced Qin Feifei's status as her daughter-in-law in person, partly to confirm it, and partly to test the Sheng family's reaction.

Qin Feifei was overjoyed. As long as she could get rid of Gu Wanwan, it wouldn't be in vain for her to suffer this humiliation. "Mother Sheng, she is the granddaughter of a meritorious official. She has her own pride. Making her apologize to me would probably be like taking her life. Let's just let this matter go. I don't want to make things difficult for the Sheng family."

“You’re just too kind and naive, that’s why you’re always being bullied.” Madam Sheng patted her hand with heartache. “If you don’t take it to heart, they’ll only get worse. I’ll take charge of this. If they don’t apologize, then there’s no point in the two families having any dealings with each other.”

Those who stood by and watched the three women put on an act were once again speechless.

Where did this brain-dead idiot come from?

It makes it seem like the Sheng family was killed because Madam Sheng made the decision.

Sheng Qing and Sheng Chuxuan stared sharply at their mother, trying to find something amiss. Could she really be an imposter?

When Grandma Sheng heard her daughter-in-law's shocking words, she was so angry that she almost died on the spot. Something was wrong. Her daughter-in-law was not the virtuous and gentle Ji Zhili she remembered.
