Mother Shen felt uncomfortable, but she always valued her reputation and couldn't bring herself to cause a scene in public, so she reluctantly shut her mouth.

Seeing that Madam Shen had calmed down, Old Madam Shen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically at the Princess, "Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness."

This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one; the key is how the Marquis's mansion handles it.

But after this incident, Shen Feng's reputation was completely ruined.

The princess looked at the two people with their heads bowed in front of her with a half-smile, and replied without any politeness, "Isn't it just that you're making a fool of yourself?"

At his age, to do something so shameless, especially to be caught red-handed in front of everyone, he truly has no shame.

Madam Shen choked, looking embarrassed, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

But what she didn't expect was that something even more embarrassing was yet to come.

Not far away, Old Madam Ye's shrill voice pierced the sky, "My daughter has suffered such a great injustice. Your Marquis's Mansion must give my Ye family an explanation."

Ye Rou, who had been keeping her head down and silent, suddenly raised her head, her lips slightly pale, as if she hadn't expected Old Madam Ye to appear so suddenly.

While she was still in a daze, Old Madam Ye rushed forward and grabbed her hand, her voice agitated, "Take responsibility! The Marquis's mansion must take responsibility for my daughter, or this matter is not over."

Upon hearing this, the other sons and daughters-in-law of the Ye family also chimed in, hoping to get married into the Chengen Marquis's family.

Their daughter, Ye, had followed Shen Feng for over twenty years without any official status or recognition. Not only had she not gained any benefits, but he was even unwilling to save Ye's only grandson. How could they be content with this?

Now things are really messed up. Their affair has been exposed in public, and Shen Feng has no choice but to marry her now, even if he doesn't want to.

Ye Rou snapped out of her daze and panicked, "Mother, please don't make things worse for me."

Everything that happened today was beyond her expectations. She wanted to marry into the Marquis's family, but she didn't want it to be this way, and she didn't want to become a laughing stock in other people's mouths.

Unfortunately, Old Madam Ye jumped in to make things worse, making the matter even more complicated, which made Ye Rou's heart ache with anger.

"Me, causing trouble? I'm doing this for your own good, you're really ungrateful." Old Madam Ye flung Ye Rou's hand away and started yelling relentlessly.

If the Marquis's mansion doesn't give her a satisfactory result today, this matter will definitely not be over.

She wasn't like that spineless mother of Shen, who would stand by and do nothing even when bullied.

Song Zhiyu watched this farce with great interest. She was right about her; Old Madam Ye's fighting power completely surpassed Ye Rou's.

It's true that every creature has its nemesis; even someone as cunning, calculating, and patient as Ye Rou was helpless against Old Madam Ye.

After this commotion, the Shen family members all looked rather grim, especially Old Madam Shen, who was so angry that she was panting heavily.

The birthday banquet was ruined like this. No matter how much Madam Shen used to like Ye Rou, she couldn't help but feel some resentment and dislike towards her now.

Shen Jinshu calmed down and looked at the old lady Ye who was still throwing a tantrum. A look of disgust flashed across her eyes.

But she couldn't speak up to stop it, much less get involved in the matter.

"Fourth Brother, this can't go on. Grandmother's birthday banquet has turned into such a mess, who knows what people will say about us." She tugged at Shen Yanxi's sleeve with a worried expression, let out a long sigh, and made no attempt to hide her concern.

Shen Yanxi was already holding back his anger, and now, after Shen Jinshu's words, he couldn't suppress his rage any longer. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Ye Rou, his eyes blazing with fury, and said in a rough voice:

"This is the Marquis of Chengen's residence, not a place for you to cause trouble. You'd better know your place. If you really piss me off, I won't care if you're an elder or not."

Shen Yanxi was a reckless playboy, so it's not surprising that he would say such things.

But he didn't expect that Madam Ye was a tough nut to crack, and that she wasn't afraid of his harsh words at all.

Old Madam Ye's eyes darted around, and she immediately fixed her gaze on the most distinguished princess in the crowd. With a wail, she ran to the princess, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice, "The Marquis of Chengen's mansion is bullying people! Princess, you must stand up for me!"

The eldest princess gave her a cold glance, then turned to look at Shen Feng, "Lord Shen, no matter how you look at it, you ruined the reputation of that girl today, and you should give an explanation."

Meeting the princess's sharp gaze, Shen Feng broke out in a cold sweat and replied repeatedly, "Your Highness, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

"I believe that Lord Shen is not the kind of person who can't see things clearly. After all, Ye Rou is Shen Rushan's biological mother. Even if we don't care about the monk, we should at least consider the Buddha. We should do what we should do. After all, His Majesty hates these kinds of things the most." The Princess nodded slightly and didn't give Shen Feng a second glance.

After saying this, the eldest princess raised her hand to tidy her hair. "Now that the congratulatory gift has been delivered, I suppose the old lady has other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

The princess's words were loaded with meaning, and her smiling face made Old Madam Shen feel extremely embarrassed.

She came to the banquet today not only because of Song Zhiyu, but also because she was interested in the good show that Song Zhiyu had mentioned.

Now it seems that Zhiyu was not bluffing her after all; this was truly a wonderful show.

The eldest princess arrived in a grand procession and left in a grand procession as well. The smile on her face was even wider than when she arrived, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

The Ye family was equally delighted. After receiving Shen Feng's promise, they completely changed their previous unreasonable attitude, and their faces were beaming like chrysanthemums.

Old Madam Ye was making plans in her mind, "From now on, our two families will be in-laws, so we should naturally help each other out if anything happens."

Madam Shen saw off the guests with a forced smile, her anger reaching its peak, especially the mocking looks they gave her as they left, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.

"Come back to the main courtyard with me." After saying this, Old Madam Shen was helped away by Granny Lin, her back view revealing a hint of anger.

Ye Rou clenched her hands in a panic. The old lady looked very angry, and she was afraid she wouldn't get the better of her.

She glanced at Shen Feng subconsciously; his pitiful appearance was heartbreaking.

With just one glance, Shen Feng's unease dissipated considerably. He thought, this wasn't Ye Rou's fault either; she was also a victim.

"Is this related to you?" Shen Feng glared at Song Zhiyu. He couldn't think of anyone else besides her.

"My lord, please don't just make baseless accusations without thinking." Song Zhiyu shrugged helplessly; she wouldn't admit to this crime.

After infuriating everyone again, Song Zhiyu didn't leave immediately this time, but instead slowly followed behind Old Madam Shen.
