Faced with Shen Jia's aggressive approach, Ning Yin just wanted to eat her rice in peace.

The master and servant tacitly ignored the mad dog in front of them.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this place is so dilapidated, even dogs wouldn't eat it, yet you're eating it with such relish. If word gets out, you'll completely disgrace the General's Mansion!"

“Ningyin, if you can’t stand this hard life, you should beg me. Maybe I’ll be in a good mood and give you a meal.”

Shen Jia was spoiled and arrogant by Wang Shi from a young age, and the servants in the mansion all avoided her.

But then her brother married this woman, and she looked down on her from the bottom of her heart.

Not only did she lower her own status, she also stole the position of her sister Shu Huan.

When Yang Shuhuan was young, he was quite generous to Shen Jia. The general's mansion at that time was not like it is now.

Yang Shuhuan often bought her clothes and jewelry.

Over time, Shen Jia became Yang Shuhuan's little follower.

But the thing that Shen Jia couldn't get over the most was that she originally wanted to marry Yang Shuhuan's younger brother.

The young master of the Marquis of Wuding's mansion is handsome and dashing.

After their first meeting, Yang Shujing said that Shen Jia was both beautiful and talented, and that he had fallen in love with her at first sight.

Ning Yin wouldn't normally care about such things.

On one occasion, Ningyin went to a banquet at Yacui Pavilion.

Without realizing it, they saw Yang Shujing with several women in his arms, drinking and making merry.

As her sister-in-law, she didn't want Shen Jia to be deceived by a man.

So he devised a plan to sabotage their marriage.

Shen Jia, however, believed that Ning Yin was jealous and deliberately trying to smear Yang Shujing.

Because of this incident, Shen Jia came to hate Ning Yin.

I'm so angry I could grind my teeth.

Therefore, after Ning Yin's divorce, her first priority was to come and see her.

Ning Yin's current miserable state.

Shen Jia scanned the room and found nothing but a few pieces of old furniture.

A sense of superiority welled up within me once again.

He cleared his throat and continued speaking.

"It would be best if you divorced my brother. I'll let him marry Sister Shuhuan."

"Also, Brother Shujing came to see me again recently. You wouldn't believe it, would you? The person Brother Shujing loves most is me. From now on, I will be the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion, and you will just be a lowly divorced woman!"

"Lady of the Marquis's Mansion, tch..."

No sooner had Shen Jia finished speaking than Su Xin's disdainful voice was heard.

A hint of anger flickered in his eyes.

Ningyin had just finished eating a bowl of rice and was about to get a second bowl.

"Miss, I'm here..."

Su Xin got up, took the bowl, and moved the stool, but Shen Jia tripped her with her foot and she fell heavily to the ground.

"you!"

Ning Yin's face darkened. She slammed down her chopsticks and glared angrily at Shen Jia.

It was one thing for them to bully her in the mansion in the past, but now she has no connection with the Shen family at all.

She was still so aggressive.

Seeing that Ning Yin finally reacted, Shen Jia curled her lips and laughed freely.

"What? I didn't do it on purpose! You blind wretch, you stepped on my foot, and I haven't even punished her yet!"

Ning Yin glared at her coldly, then squatted down to help Su Xin up and asked with concern.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

"Miss, I'm alright."

"Okay, go and rest for a while."

"Miss…"

Su Xin refused.

"Go ahead, I'll handle it."

After calming Su Xin down, Ning Yin approached Shen Jia with a smile as usual.

Shen Jia scoffed lightly, believing that with her status, she could easily teach a servant a lesson.

Even when it comes to disciplining Ning Yin, she has no choice but to obediently accept it.

"Chen Jia, can you smell anything on your breath?"

"What a joke, what flavor could I possibly have in my mouth?"

Ning Yin covered her mouth and nose in disgust. "Your breath reeks of a vile stench, worse than the excrement in a sewer. Can't you smell it?"

"Ning Yin, you've gone too far!"

Shen Jia's face turned pale, and she was immediately embarrassed and her neck turned red.

Extremely ashamed and indignant, she angrily raised her hand and waved it at Ning Yin's face.

Ning Yin had anticipated this and dodged it with a quick movement.

A crisp sound followed, and Shen Jia's face burned.

The green bamboo behind him widened its pupils in surprise.

"Miss…"

Shen Jia covered her face, her expression one of disbelief.

How dare Ning Yin hit me!

She tried to reach out again, but Ning Yin grabbed her wrist instantly.

Ning Yin grabbed a plate from the table and slammed it over Shen Jia's head.

The soup and liquid flowed down her face, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.

Shen Jia was so anxious that she shouted and cried, covering her eyes with her hands and sobbing uncontrollably.

"Green Bamboo, Green Bamboo, are you dead?!"

Green Bamboo was already stunned when she heard Shen Jia's shout.

She wanted to step forward, but Ning Yin gave her a look, and she took two steps back.

When Ningyin was in charge of the household affairs, she treated the servants and maids very well and never mistreated them.

No matter what, she was once the wife of a general, and naturally exuded authority.

She wanted to take action but didn't dare.

She quickly took out a handkerchief and kept wiping Chenjia's face.

The soup mixed with Shen Jia's carefully applied makeup left mottled marks on her face.

It looked both funny and pathetic.

"Even dogs wouldn't eat this, but you seem to really like it!"

"Ningyin, you...you...I'll go back and get my brother to deal with you!"

"Okay, I'm waiting. Can I get out of here now?"

Ning Yin crossed her arms, exuding a cold and aloof demeanor.

Thinking back to the time when I didn't get to see my grandmother one last time, it was all because Shen Jia deliberately blocked the gatekeeper from announcing her arrival.

She missed the last chance; by the time she got home, her grandmother had already passed away.

Later, she went back and questioned Shen Jia. Shen Jia said: What does the old woman's death have to do with me? You didn't keep an eye on the gatekeeper's news, and you're blaming me?

Ning Yin was furious and went to confront Wang Shi, but Wang Shi waved her off, dismissing her as making a fuss over nothing.

"You have to bother me with such a small matter. You, the general's wife, are too idle. Go kneel in the ancestral hall and keep mourning for your grandmother."

Ningyin tried to resist, but the servants in the mansion ultimately obeyed Wang Shi.

She had no real power; she was merely a nominal matriarch.

With all the past events vividly in her mind, Ning Yin felt that the lesson she had just learned was too lenient.

They left the courtyard with Shen Jia and Lü Zhu, and the two of them had just gotten into the carriage.

Ning Yin pulled out a silver needle and secretly inserted it into the horse's most sensitive acupoint.

With a roar, the groom's hand holding the reins trembled.

The horse galloped away like lightning.

The speed was astonishing, and the coachman could hardly control the direction, leaving the carriage to swerve and speed along.

"Miss, they won't fall to their deaths, will they?"

Su Xin also came out, watching the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, feeling worried.

Now that her young lady is all alone, what will they do if the General's Mansion really investigates?

"Don't worry, you won't die. It's just to scare Shen Jia."

After a bumpy ride, Chen Jia's carriage finally came to a stop after crashing into a large tree.

She vomited up all the sea cucumber and abalone she ate for lunch.

Back at the general's mansion, Shen Jia was furious.

Without even washing her face, she rushed straight to Shen Yun's study.

"Brother, brother, send troops to kill that bitch!"
