Yan Bao, who was holding a substitute talisman in her left hand and writing in the air with her right hand, completed the last stroke when hot tea splashed on her sister-in-law's face.

The substitute talisman disappeared before his eyes.

Only Yan Bao can see it.

Otherwise, every time she used the substitute talisman, everyone could see it, and she didn't know how many times she had been exposed.

With an old, hoarse scream, the teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The tiles almost hit Yan Bao, but she dodged them nimbly.

Old Madam Shen cried out in pain. Her hands, as bark-like as old trees, dared not touch her face that had been splashed with hot tea. She only felt the burning pain on her face. Only those who have experienced burns know the feeling of being burned.

The old lady's sarcastic face was burned red, and a blister appeared on the tip of her nose.

It was burned.

You can see how hot the tea is.

It was served as soon as it started to bubble, just to splash it on Xu Zhimo's face.

Who knows...

The Shen family members who knew the inside story all looked at Yan Bao at the same time.

Yan Bao had an innocent look on his face, as if he knew nothing. The look in his eyes when he looked at Old Madam Shen was full of sympathy. People who knew her well knew that she was just watching the show.

At this moment, the Shen family members all said in unison: It has to be Yan Bao.

Xu Zhimo blinked, unable to believe what she saw.

The tea was originally intended to be splashed on her face.

Xu Zhimo was prepared to be scalded, but who knew that in a moment, she seemed to have seen it wrong, and the spilled tea actually changed direction and splashed upwards towards the old lady.

It's just... outrageous!

The only thing to be thankful for is that I wasn't the one who got hurt.

Xu Zhimo knew how to deal with burns, but she didn't move. She looked at Old Madam Shen's painful expression. Why should she repay evil with kindness to an old woman who wanted to harm her?

Xu Zhimo is not that generous.

She could see that this old lady Shen not only had a problem with her, but also with the third house.

Madam Shen was scalded, and as a son, Shen Shoufu would be considered unfilial if he didn’t show his nervousness.

Shen Shoufu had no choice but to say, "Go and get the doctor quickly."

Madam Shen was dissatisfied: "Why invite a doctor? An imperial physician? You are not only a favorite of the emperor, but also the prime minister. You can't even invite an imperial physician?"

Shen Shoufu didn't argue with the old lady and asked someone to invite the imperial physician.

The imperial physician had not arrived yet, but the families of the eldest and second uncles of the Shen family had both come over. When they saw the burned old lady Shen, they all looked at her with concern, asking about her health and showing all kinds of care.

Yan Bao and the others were squeezed so tightly that they had nowhere to stand and could only stand aside.

Madam Shen held Yan Bao in one hand and Xu Zhimo in the other, and said privately: "Don't mind it, I didn't want you to know so soon. You met me today. Mother will tell you the truth. Our third house doesn't have a good relationship with the people in our hometown."

Xu Zhimo nodded: "My daughter-in-law saw it."

"Stay away from them in the future and don't let them get hold of anything. They are a difficult group of people." Mrs. Shen's face was not very good when she thought of the hardships she had suffered between the old lady and her sisters-in-law when she was young.

Xu Zhimo comforted Madam Shen: “My daughter-in-law knows, and she will be careful, don’t worry, mother.”

Madam Shen nodded in relief.

Yan Bao looked coldly at the Shen family's first and second wives who were deliberately excluding them, and snorted in her heart: "I didn't know it before, but now I know. If you dare to bully my mother and sister-in-law, I will not let you off easily!"

"If only the Thirteenth Prince were here, he could activate his Crow's Mouth cheat and make your life miserable. Humph!"

Madam Shen raised her eyebrows, wondering if Yan Bao’s crow’s mouth and golden finger were really that useful.

Old Madam Shen enjoyed the concern and care from her eldest and second sons, and raised her eyebrows proudly when she looked at the neglected third family.

Uncle Shen also scolded Shen Shoufu: "How do you do things? You are serving tea properly, but you burned my mother and made her suffer at her age. You are unfilial."

Chief Minister Shen glanced at Uncle Shen and said nothing.

Uncle Shen continued, "I heard it was caused by the new daughter-in-law offering tea. How could she be so ignorant that she injured my mother the moment she walked in? And why wouldn't she let her come over to apologize?"

Shen Shoufu, with half a palm-sized face, looked at Uncle Shen coldly: "Mother didn't behave properly and blamed the new daughter-in-law. If you say this out loud, everyone will say something. You are really a filial son."

"Those who don't know would think that our Shen family abused our new daughter-in-law. She did nothing wrong and doesn't need to apologize."

Uncle Shen's authority was challenged and he got angry: "You mean to blame my mother?"

"I didn't say that, you said it yourself." Shen Shoufu immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Mom, my eldest brother said that this incident is your fault. Be careful when drinking tea in the future. Let it cool down before drinking."

Madam Shen glared: "Boss, what did you say?"

Uncle Shen, who fell into the pit, was about to explain, but Chief Minister Shen questioned: “Everyone heard it, you said so, it’s not me who said it.”

Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement.

Brother Shen also nodded.

Second Brother Shen was not left behind either.

Even Yan Bao unconditionally stood on Shen Shoufu's side: [What Daddy said is right. Anyway, that's what he meant. Uncle Shen is a bit stupid, but Daddy is awesome!]

Chief Minister Shen almost raised his eyebrows in triumph, but then he put on a cold face thinking that it was inappropriate.

Uncle Shen opened his mouth, speechless.

His silence was the best form of acquiescence, and Old Lady Shen was so angry that she threw a plate at him and said, "Get out, you unfilial son."

He is so ungrateful that he doesn't know the seriousness of the matter.

The old lady is so angry!

Uncle Shen rolled out in disgrace.

Soon, the imperial physician arrived.

It didn't hurt that much, but Madam Shen made a fuss out of nothing and acted like a troublemaker. She screamed so miserably that if you didn't know better you would think she was dying.
