Su Wenyuan took a sip of tea, then recalled, "Then I need to think carefully about what you've done all these years. How can I get my revenge on you for all this resentment?"

Su Yuan dismissed the servants in the front hall and spoke in as gentle a tone as possible, "Wen Yuan, you've only just married into the Prince Chen's mansion. There's no need to make things so tense with your family. Can't you talk things out properly?"

He had expected this long ago; Su Wenyuan would put on airs this time when she returned to her parents' home, and wouldn't be as easily manipulated as before.

But now every word she says hits people where it hurts, which is really unlike her personality.

Su Yuan believed that as long as they were more polite, Su Wenyuan wouldn't have to antagonize them.

In the past, Su Wenyuan suffered all sorts of grievances, but as long as someone was willing to give her a smile, she would forgive and forget.

Now Su Yuan doesn't mind condescending to coax her, after all, making things too ugly won't do her any good.

Su Yuan grabbed Wang's arm and kept giving her meaningful glances.

Su Wenyuan knew what he was thinking with just a glance.

After the original owner of the book married Sheng Jingyu, Su Yuan insulted her in various ways, thinking she was shameful. However, whenever he needed her help, he would come to the Prince Chen's mansion to speak well of her.

They even forced the original owner to leave behind several girls and give them to Sheng Jingyu.

Su Yuan felt no remorse whatsoever when he did these things.

Just like now, he feels no remorse for what he did over the years.

"How else can I explain this properly? Can't you tell who made the move?" Su Wenyuan asked casually, seemingly unconcerned.

From the moment she came in, she neither got angry nor lost her temper, but she was the one who kept irritating people.

Su Yuan first comforted Wang Shi, and then comforted Su Lin'er.

He wanted them to calm down, think about the important matter, and then cooperate with him properly.

Wang Shi could not remain calm whenever she saw Su Wenyuan, so Su Yuan temporarily kicked the mother and daughter out.

Turning back to look at Meng Qi, he said softly, "I want to talk to you about something on my mind, about the people around the prince..."

"Meng Qi, you go out first and wait at the door. Yue Xiu can keep me company here." Su Wenyuan also wanted to know how shameless he could say.

Meng Qi went out, and Su Wenyuan waited quietly for him to speak.

"That's right, you just saw His Highness the Crown Prince. He was invited by Lin'er. Lin'er and he have a very special relationship now..."

Su Wenyuan raised her hand to interrupt: "Stop talking nonsense. Whether she can marry into the family depends on her abilities."

The female lead hasn't appeared yet. Once she does, what role will she play?

Su Yuan frowned and said, "She has the skills, but her family can't afford to provide her with a larger dowry."

Su Wenyuan sneered, "Whose fault is it that you're poor?"

Su Yuan's face turned pale, and he could no longer laugh.

Are you good at chatting?

“Lin’er was supposed to have a generous dowry, enough to marry her off to a good family. Now you’ve taken it from her and are turning around and blaming us?” Su Yuan shouted.

No one can remain calm in front of Su Wenyuan.

Hearing the argument, Meng Qi rushed in, breaking the door in the process.

"..."

The group exchanged glances, and Su Wenyuan realized why Sheng Jingyu didn't want him anymore.

"It's alright, you can go out first. I'll call you if I need your help." Su Wenyuan waved her hand with a smile.

As soon as Meng Qi left, Su Wenyuan's gaze turned cold.

"We need to clarify some things. What do you mean I stole her? Whose dowry was it originally?"

Wang rushed out from behind, angrily saying, "It was left by your mother, but your mother married your father, so your father was entitled to a share of this dowry. Now you've taken it all, what are you going to do with Lin'er?"

Su Wenyuan glanced at her and said, "You said it yourself, it was left by my mother. Is her mother dead?"

After bullying Su Wenyuan for so many years, how dare you say such a thing now?

Wang laughed in anger and said, "You don't need to provoke me like this. I don't want it all. You give me half, and this matter will end here."

"..." Su Wenyuan was speechless.

She suddenly realized that no matter how eloquent she was, it would be difficult to win an argument with these shameless people.

Su Wenyuan smiled, then asked calmly, "Wang, tell me yourself, how have you treated me all these years?"

Wang said matter-of-factly, "At least I gave you a bite to eat."

Su Wenyuan forcefully swung her hand, throwing the teacup on the table at her, and said angrily, "You think you can exchange half of my dowry for years of stale food?"

"Don't forget, back then you were a mistress, my mother was still alive, and your two children were already older than me. How dare you covet her dowry? I'm only being kind by not being beaten to death."

Su Wenyuan gradually lost her temper, thinking that there was plenty of time to settle this score later.

But they didn't want to slow down; they were eager to die.

Wang also went mad, shouting, "I'm telling you, you're not leaving until you hand over your dowry! Go ahead and set another fire if you dare, I'm not afraid!"

Su Wenyuan stood up and walked up to her, her gaze meeting hers as she pressed closer.

Wang straightened her back, and although she was flustered, she refused to back down any further for the sake of her pride.

Suddenly, Su Wenyuan raised her hand, and Wang felt a sharp pain on her face, followed by blood flowing out.

"Ah!!" A scream echoed throughout the Prime Minister's residence.

The servants stood outside the courtyard, peering in, wondering what was happening inside.

Meng Qi rushed in again and saw Wang Shi sitting on the ground with a long bloody mark on her face.

Before she could even react, Su Wenyuan kicked Su Yuan again.

Yuexiu looked at her in a panic, unsure whether to stop her.

Meng Qi's eyes lit up, and he followed up with a kick.

"Help! Help!" Su Lin'er screamed desperately.

Su Wenyuan tossed away the broken porcelain shards in her hand, smiled, and asked, "Do you still want the dowry?"

Her initial plan was to come back and fight.

She changed her plans because Sheng Jingyu was going to come along, and now that Sheng Jingyu isn't coming, it's convenient for her.

Su Lin'er looked at her devilish smile and screamed uncontrollably.

The servants rushed in, and Meng Qi stood in front of Su Wenyuan to protect her, afraid that they would harm her.

But how could they dare?

"Go! Arrest her! I'm going to file a complaint! I'm going to complain to the Emperor!" Wang shouted desperately.

The pain in my face is secondary; the main problem is that I've been disfigured.

"Okay, I'll grant your wish." Su Wenyuan wasn't afraid at all.

She wanted revenge, but at the same time, she wanted to sever ties with this family. It would be easier to take revenge if she severed ties first.

If Wang wants to sue, then so be it. She may have an extra scar on her face, but if you bring up the old grievances, the things she did were even worse than what Su Wenyuan did.

Su Yuan asked angrily, "Aren't you afraid at all?"

Su Wenyuan chuckled: "What am I afraid of? I almost died on my wedding day. My wife almost beat me to death that day and later tried to break my legs. I've died once, what am I afraid of?"

"I feel great to have you all buried with me before I die. Su Lin'er, after today, you won't even be qualified to approach the Crown Prince, let alone become the Crown Princess."
