Ye Jun only returned to the village today; it's impossible for him to have sent the betrothal gifts so soon...

Suddenly, the image of a man flashed through her mind.

A sense of foreboding rose in her heart!

Sure enough, Madam Xie's next words plunged her into despair...

"It was sent by Yuan Xu yesterday. He wants to take Li'er as a concubine..."

Because of her guilt, Madam Xie's voice gradually lowered.

After all, Xie Li was someone she had watched grow up.

She would never have allowed herself to become someone's concubine unless absolutely necessary.

Upon hearing this, Wang was instantly furious!

She trembled with rage, her voice rising abruptly, devoid of any respect for Madam Xie, replaced only by sheer fury:

“Back in the capital, even if Yuan Xu wanted to marry our Li’er, we wouldn’t have looked down on him! Let alone now that he’s taking a concubine! He kept several concubines before the marriage, how could he be a good match for Li’er?! Even if Li’er had divorced once, or even if she had divorced ten times, he still wouldn’t be worthy of her!”

Madam Xie ignored Wang's anger and simply said to her lightly:

"Weren't you also my second brother's concubine before his marriage? Does that mean my second brother wasn't a good match either?"

Wang was immediately deflated, biting her lip, and stammering out a complete sentence.

"I……"

Xie Li's face turned deathly pale at this moment...

Seeing Wang's righteous defense of her, she felt as if she had returned to the time when she was tormented by her mother-in-law in her husband's family.

However, the face that my mother-in-law used to make has now turned into that of an old woman...
