These words perfectly demonstrate a complete lack of initiative and shamelessness.

A mistress was showing off in front of someone else's wife, even saying that the wife would have trouble having children in the future.

Enraged, Li Muqing rushed forward and slapped Shangguan Xinyi across the face!

The crisp sound of the slap sent a burning pain through Shangguan Xinyi's face.

Both Old Madam Xiao and Madam Xiao were stunned.

Shangguan Xinyi had only been enjoying her comfort for a few days when she was slapped by Li Muqing. Her eyes were filled with anger, but remembering her mother's words, she forced herself to hold it in.

"I'm sorry, sister, if you don't like me staying in this house, then I'll leave now."

Shangguan Xinyi threw off the blanket, put on her shoes, and was about to leave.

Old Madam Xiao had been longing for a great-grandson for so long. One was already gone, and she couldn't afford to lose another. She took Shangguan Xinyi's hand and said, "It's so late, where are you going to stay by yourself?"

Shangguan Xinyi said with a wronged look, "I'm going to stay in a hotel. Grandma, please let me go, otherwise my sister will be unhappy."

How could Madam Xiao let a pregnant woman stay in a hotel? She quickly said to Li Muqing, "Granddaughter-in-law, let's wait for Jingming to come back before we talk about anything. It's getting late, you should go back to your room and rest. Your health is the most important thing."

If the old lady hadn't been holding onto Shangguan Xinyi's hand so tightly, Li Muqing would have truly thought she was concerned about her.

Li Muqing smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "You know I'm your granddaughter-in-law, so why are you holding her hand? If she wants to leave, let her go. She's just a mistress. Her illegitimate child isn't even born yet, and you treat her like royalty. Aren't you afraid the other aristocratic families will laugh at you?"

Old Madam Xiao knew that others would laugh at the Xiao family, so she hadn't left the house these past few days.

But the Xiao family has few descendants, so what's wrong with her wanting a great-grandson?

The facade that Old Madam Xiao had been trying so hard to maintain was brutally torn off by Li Muqing, who immediately rebuked her angrily: "If you're so capable, then after all these years of being married into the Xiao family, why don't you give us a son or daughter? All you do is talk back to your elders here. Is this the kind of upbringing your Li family has?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Muqing laughed angrily, her eyes reddening as she accused, "Is it that I don't want the child? That bitch Shangguan Xinyi killed my son, and you actually took her to live in your house just because she's carrying Xiao Jingming's child?"

"Hmph, even if my Li family's upbringing is poor, it would never be as hypocritical and disgusting as your Xiao family!"

Li Muqing roared out in a fit of rage.

Shangguan Xinyi's eyes flickered, and she bit her lower lip as she explained, "I didn't, sister, you've misunderstood me."

Before Li Muqing could speak, Shangguan Xinyi suddenly cried out, clutching her lower abdomen, "My stomach...it hurts so much..."
