Once Jiang's father spoke, anyone else who had objections could only keep quiet.

Jiang's sister-in-law stormed back to her room and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, startling the children inside and nearly trapping her brother Jiang who came in behind them.

"What are you doing? Why are you making such a loud noise closing the door? What if Mom and Dad hear us?"

"So what if I heard you? Are we not allowed to speak at home?"

Jiang's wife was furious and directly retorted to Jiang's brother.

"Who told you not to speak? Your father has already made up his mind about this. Do you have anything else to say?"

"Why can't I say it? How much will it affect our children if my husband's older sister comes back from her divorce? Especially Chutong, who is already six years old and will be looking for a partner in a few years. If people find out that there is a divorced aunt in the family, and that the divorce was because she couldn't have children, will any good families still want to marry her?"

Jiang's sister-in-law had a loud voice; she wanted her parents-in-law and sister-in-law to hear her.

"Shaoqin, take your younger brother and sister to your room."

Brother Jiang told the children to leave and not to listen to their parents arguing.

Jiang's wife launched into a long, rapid-fire speech, completely ignoring the children inside the house.

Although Jiang Shaoqin was unwilling, he didn't want to hear his parents arguing, so he got up and left, ignoring his younger siblings behind him.

"Why are you thinking so far ahead? It will take at least six or seven years for Chu Tong to be considered for marriage. My younger sister is also considering marriage, and she hasn't said anything yet. You are in charge of our family. What can you do if you are unwilling, except make our parents angry?"

“I don’t care. If it affects my children, I will not agree.”

Jiang's wife lay on the bed fully clothed and refused to communicate.

Brother Jiang was also helpless; he was never good at arguing with people.

He shook his head and recited, "Only petty men and women are difficult to deal with!"

Jiang's loud voice was heard by everyone in the other rooms; how could they not hear her shouting so loudly?

"Mother, if... if it doesn't work out, I'll go to a nunnery after the divorce. My sister is about to go on a blind date, and I can't hold her back. I've already done this, so my sister's marriage must go smoothly!"

"Stop talking, listen to your father on this matter."

Jiang's mother looked at her eldest daughter and then at her hesitant youngest daughter. What didn't she understand? Her youngest daughter was determined to climb the social ladder, and her eldest daughter's situation was definitely an obstacle. But she couldn't abandon her eldest daughter for her youngest; both were her flesh and blood!

Jiang Lan wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. It wasn't that she didn't know what to say; she wanted to say she didn't want her sister to divorce, because it would affect her own chances of finding a husband. She wanted a good life, a wealthy life, and didn't want to be influenced by her sister, forced to marry into the village and struggle for survival every day. She wanted to say how selfish her sister was, having endured so many years of being treated like servants, and now complaining about how hard it was and wanting a divorce—what would become of her? She thought so much in her heart, but in the end, she said nothing, only silently shedding tears.

Jiang Qi felt a pang of sorrow in her heart; she understood her sister's tears. But she was unwilling to give up the divorce and continue living in the Fan family. Tomorrow, after she returned from the divorce proceedings, she would persuade her father to allow her to leave home and spend the rest of her life in a nunnery.

In his study, Jiang's father was also pondering how to do things better.

Li Qiuniang, in the west wing, hadn't thought much of it. She had already chosen her clothes for tomorrow, as well as Shao Kun's clothes and other necessities, which she would send to her second sister-in-law tomorrow. She trusted her second sister-in-law more when it came to taking care of the child. She would ask her second sister-in-law tomorrow for advice.

In the east wing, Mu Yi'an and Jiang Shuyun finally had time to talk properly after putting the children to sleep.

"Yi'an, do you know what? Today at the Fan family, I shut that woman up so badly she couldn't say a word. It felt so good! For the first time, I felt that roasting someone was such a pleasant thing."

You know, the first time I saw you at the elevator, you were constantly complaining and pressing the elevator buttons, acting really agitated. I thought to myself, "Is this woman so agitated that she might be violent? Will she attack someone?" I instinctively stepped back, even hesitating whether to take the elevator down with you!

Mu Yi'an rolled her eyes at the extremely excited Jiang Shuyun, which was a veiled insult to her.

"You've opened the door to a whole new world; you're excessively excited!"

"Hehe... Yi'an, haven't I learned from you? I feel that life has become much more vibrant since I came here, and it's all thanks to you."

Jiang Shuyun reached out and pinched Mu Yi'an's cheek. Her face was full of collagen and so elastic.

"Smack!"

Mu Yi'an patted Jiang Shuyun's hand; that was her face, not a pinchable handypiece!

"I couldn't resist the urge. Time to sleep, I have things to do tomorrow."

Jiang Shuyun withdrew her hand and stopped catching the demon, afraid of angering Yi'an.

After the two lay down, Mu Yi'an was sleepy, but she didn't sleep; she was thinking.

Jiang Qi's divorce won't be over so easily. Judging from the expressions of Jiang's sister-in-law and Jiang Lan, they're going to make a scene. Especially Jiang Lan; although she hasn't said it explicitly, from the hints in her mother's words these past few days, it's clear that Jiang Lan wants to marry into a wealthy family.

If that's the case, having a divorced sister in the family would definitely be a downside. Although Jiang Lan is good-looking, that's about it; her personality, intelligence, and emotional intelligence are all quite worrying.

If someone were interested in her looks, especially considering the Jiang family has two scholars, this is no small feat, at least not within the town of Xinyuan. The Fan family only arranged the marriage with the Jiang family because of the Jiang father's scholar status.
