"What do you mean? I am the old marshal's wife. You should call me grandma. How am I making you feel wronged?"

Grandma Kang never expected that this country girl would dare to laugh at her. What gave her the right?

"Grandma? If I call you Grandma, will you dare to answer? I'm new here, do you really think I don't know anything?"

The sarcasm on Su Di's face was so obvious that Old Madam Kang froze on the spot.

“What are you so smug about, you country bumpkin? Who do you think the Li family is? Your country ways of throwing tantrums won’t work here. I’m still your elder, no matter what.”

Grandma Kang only knew that if she lost this time, this person would take her even less seriously next time.

If others knew that this newlywed granddaughter-in-law could ride roughshod over her, she would have even less status in the Li family.

"Oh, so you look down on us? Baichuan, let's go!"

Su Di didn't bother arguing with her; they hadn't known how many eyes were on them since they arrived.

If they were any more easygoing, today it would be Grandma Kang, tomorrow it would be Grandma Wang, and tomorrow it would be Grandma Li who would put them down.

First impressions are important; she wants everyone to know they're not to be messed with!

Wei Baichuan was very obedient; he knew his wife was about to put on a show again.

The two of them left the courtyard just like that, walking away so decisively and swiftly.

The old lady Kang inside was dumbfounded, but the guards reacted quickly and hurriedly went to find someone.

Suti and Wei Baichuan hadn't gone far, and were soon invited back.

"Sir... no, Marshal Li, why don't you send us back? I don't feel like this home welcomes us."

"We know there are some things you can't say, but as your partner, her meaning is your meaning, and we understand. So we won't bother you any longer."

Suti entered the door with a fiery tone, clearly quite angry.

"What do you mean? I didn't say anything, you can't falsely accuse me." Grandma Kang originally wanted to complain, but she didn't expect Su Ti to say some ambiguous things as soon as he entered the door.

Even she couldn't quite figure out what she meant by those words.

“Did I falsely accuse you? I was pregnant and it was inconvenient for me to go up and down the stairs. Baichuan helped me, and you came over and accused me, telling me to understand my place and saying that the Li family, which is from the countryside, cannot tolerate me.”

"You said these things, didn't you? You said you're the old marshal's wife, that we should respect you, that we should live under your thumb and have to watch your face."

"You've been criticizing me because you don't like me. We're from the countryside, but we're not going to be bullied. If we can't be tolerated here, then we'll go back. Is that what you want?"

Suti watched as Grandma Kang explained herself clearly, word by word, and it has to be said that these words resonated with Grandma Kang.

That's exactly what she meant, but she didn't say it out loud.

"No, I didn't mean that." Old Mrs. Kang hadn't argued with anyone in all these years.

Furthermore, Suti's words touched upon her darkest thoughts, making her feel uneasy.

And then she said she was pregnant; just from that, she knew she wasn't going to get anything out of her today.

Why didn't she say she was pregnant? If she had known she was pregnant earlier, she definitely wouldn't have acted so impulsively.

She did it on purpose; she was waiting for her here all along.

"Alright, Comrade Kang, you have no right to make decisions in this family. What right do you have to say such things to my grandson and granddaughter-in-law?"

How could the old marshal not see that this girl was using Old Madam Kang as a scapegoat to establish her authority?

Grandma Kang looked at the old marshal in disbelief. He actually didn't side with her; he didn't give her any face at all.

"Girl, don't be angry. You are my granddaughter-in-law. I want to see who in this family dares to dislike you."

Marshal Li's final, resolute statement solidified Su Ti's position.

The old marshal accepted this granddaughter-in-law and did not look down on her in the slightest because she came from the countryside.

The guards and the servants exchanged glances, and then silently lowered their heads.

"Grandpa, I don't want to be angry either. I just don't understand. You and Uncle are both such kind and gentle people, so how come there's another person like this in the family?"

“I acknowledge her as an elder, but she doesn’t act like one at all. If she really cared about me, I wouldn’t be so hard to talk to.”

"But ever since I got up, she's been talking to me in a sarcastic and gesticulating way. I'm young and have a bad temper, so I couldn't hold back!"

"This immediately reminded me of when I was in the countryside. Baichuan wasn't Wei's biological son, but the way people treated him was exactly the same as Grandma Kang's. It's different when someone isn't a biological son."

Suti knew that the old marshal had given her a way out, and she readily accepted it.

They even made a summary, completely stripping away the last shred of dignity that was once reserved for Old Mrs. Kang.

The simple statement that she wasn't his biological daughter changed how everyone looked at Grandma Kang.

Yes, Marshal Li and Minister Qi doted on their two children. Marshal Li even went so far as to disregard his own daughter's reputation for their sake.

If Old Mrs. Kang were a good person, she would love the two children even more; otherwise, she wouldn't have a good life in the Li family.

Why would I embarrass the two children? They're not my biological children, they're just different.

Grandma Kang was already devastated, and after hearing Su Ti's words, she finally couldn't take the shock and fainted.

Suti shut her mouth. The enemy was too weak; this was just the beginning, and she hadn't finished her performance yet.

"..."

When Marshal Li and Qi Feng saw that the person had fainted, they were both stunned and stood there.

Has he already fainted? This Su girl is really amazing. It's good that way. With such a capable wife, Baichuan will definitely amount to something in the future.

"Alright, carry her inside to rest. If she's not feeling well, she should rest properly and not worry about anything else."

Marshal Li didn't care whether she was really dizzy or faking it; he knew very well that she was no match for Su.

Su Yatou was clearly holding back; if it were someone else today, her methods would have been far more extensive than these.

Marshal Li shook his head as he looked at the man who remained silent and gazing smugly at his wife.

This couple's house will be lively from now on.

After seeing everyone off, Suti finally sat down to rest. Their days should be much quieter from now on.

Grandma Kang dared not cause them any more trouble. As for the future, if they were even slightly dishonest, she had plenty of ways to kick them out of the Li family.

After all, kicking out their nominal stepmother right away wouldn't do them any good.

However, after today's test, she also realized that Marshal Li was quite tolerant of them.

That's good. From now on, they can do whatever they want without worry, as someone will cover for them.

Su Ti sat there without saying a word, Wei Baichuan winked at him, and the rest of the family members became even more silent.
