Grandma Xiao led a group of people to Xie Baotian's house in a haughty manner, walking with her head held high like a proud rooster!

Since Xie Baotian's family had invited guests from house to house that morning, people were now going to Xie Baotian's house in twos and threes to help out. When they saw Old Madam Xiao and her group, they couldn't help but ask...

"Clan chief and sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Old Mrs. Xiao glanced sideways

"Who's your sister-in-law? I'm the old lady of the General's Mansion. How dare you, a peasant, call me sister-in-law!"

Xie Yujiao also said arrogantly

"Oh! Third Uncle! Are you going to help Xie Yushu at her house?"

I was just about to tell you! Our second brother-in-law, Xie Yushu's ex-husband, is now a general!

Xie Yushu is destined to be a pheasant, she'll never become a phoenix. But now my second brother-in-law is going to marry a princess from the capital!

After this, our family will be different from the rest of the village. My second brother-in-law became a general and married a princess. Even if my husband isn't the best, he'll still get an official position. And I'll be an official's wife. My reputation can't be affected. Xie Yushu is a divorced woman; Xie Family Village won't tolerate her. You'd better think carefully about which side you're on!"

Xie Dafu also said smugly

"That's right. Now that our in-laws are officials, our Yu Jiao, as the young mistress of an official family, cannot afford to have her reputation affected. If word gets out that my cousin is a divorced woman, where will we put our face? Today, not only Xie Yu Shu, but Xie Bao Tian's entire family will have to get out of Xie Family Village!"

"But the Ke Baotian family's real estate is all here. If you drive them away, how are they supposed to live?"

Some people, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but ask aloud.

Xie Dafu snorted coldly.

"It was Xie Baotian who brought this upon himself because he didn't know what was good for him. What does it matter to me how he lives? This is the price he pays for going against me, the clan leader!"

Seeing this, the others knew they couldn't afford to offend them, so they kept quiet and followed Xie Dafu and his group to Xie Yushu's house.

As Xie Yushu's family was pasting "double happiness" characters on the windows of their courtyard, they heard an unfriendly voice.

"Xie Baotian, you all come out here!"

It was immediately recognized as Xie Dafu's voice. Xie Baotian, Xie Baoshu, and several men from the family all headed towards the front gate.

Xie Yushu knew without a doubt that trouble was on their way again, so she had Lu and Wang take Xie Yumin and Chu Jinyu to Ma's room. She then went out with Nanxing and Qu Xiaodie.

To Xie Yushu's surprise, it wasn't just Xie Dafu's family who came, but also Old Madam Xiao, Xiao Yan, and Xie Yujiao!

Xie Baotian, as the head of the family, spoke first.

“We have nothing to do with your family anymore, so what are you doing here? If you're here for my son's wedding, tomorrow is the actual day. If not, I have nothing to say to you!”

"How dare you! How dare you speak to me like that! Believe me or not, I will punish you!"

Grandma Xiao couldn't wait to start showing off her charm!

The Xie family was stunned. Xie Baoshu said bluntly...

"Grandma Xiao, what are you angry about?! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Xie Yujiao immediately said

“My mother-in-law is now the matriarch of the General’s Mansion. You probably don’t know that, but my second brother-in-law, Xiao Yi, is now a general and is going to marry a princess from the capital. Some people are like chickens that can enter a phoenix’s nest but will still be kicked out! They don’t have the fate to enjoy happiness!”

Xie Yushu was utterly speechless at the smug and self-satisfied look on this family's face, and said impatiently.

"So you guys just came here to show off, huh? Fine, I get it. You can leave now!"

"You little wretch! How dare you! You dare to kneel and pay your respects to this old lady, the young mistress, and the young lady!"

Grandma Xiao raised her chin and scolded.

Xie Yushu was so angry she laughed.

"I am neither a junior member of your family nor a maidservant. Why should I bow to you?"

Just because Xiao Yi became a general?

"General" is Xiao Yi's official title, not yours!

"Old Madam, Young Madam, Miss! Don't come out here making a fool of yourself! Keep your airs to your own homes with your maids, servants, stewards, and guards! We don't buy your act!"

"Xie Yushu, this is insubordination! Believe me or not, I'll beat you to death!"

When Old Madam Xiao saw that Xie Yushu still dared to mess with her even after she had revealed her identity, she was furious and glared at her.

Xie Yushu, however, said calmly

"Your family at least has a scholar who hasn't studied the law?"

Even if Xiao Yi is a general now, he hasn't formally appointed you to a high-ranking position yet. Since you haven't been appointed and don't have any official titles, we don't need to kneel down and pay our respects to you.

"If we were on good terms, I might have been willing to show you some respect and call you 'Madam' or 'Miss.' But unfortunately, I don't like any of you at all. I'm already being kind-hearted by not settling scores with you. You've come to the wrong place to throw your weight around!"

"you……"

Grandma Xiao was furious and raised her cane to hit someone.

Qu Xiaodie and Nanxing swiftly drew their knives and held them in front of Old Madam Xiao, instantly diminishing Old Madam Xiao's imposing aura by half!

Upon seeing this, Xie Yujiao immediately mustered her courage and reprimanded.

"Xie Yushu, how dare you draw your knife in front of your mother-in-law! Aren't you afraid that Xiao Yi will come back and settle accounts with you? He's a general now, crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant for him. If you dare to offend us, Xiao Yi will definitely make you pay!"

If you obediently kowtow and admit your mistake, perhaps we'll be in a better mood and forgive you!

Xie Yushu laughed.

"Ha! Are you sure he'll come back and settle scores with me?"

Don't forget, I was the wife he paid a high price to marry. Not only did I raise his two children well, but I also cured his leg. In a way, I was his savior!
