Although she didn't know why Mrs. Sheng disliked Miss Huang so much, Sheng Yueqing still kept it in mind.
"Okay, I'll head back now. I'll come see you again next time."
Because Qi Xinxin and Sheng Jingheng have always supported her business, she was happy to accompany Mrs. Sheng.
Mrs. Sheng watched her leave with some reluctance, then instructed the maid, "Go tell the gatekeeper not to let anyone surnamed Huang in."
The assistant who came from Kyoto disagreed, saying, "Madam, what if Huang Nianyan goes to the master to complain that you don't even let her into your room? I'm afraid the master will argue with you again."
They're a middle-aged couple, yet they argue every day because of Huang Nianyan.
The assistant was also somewhat worried.
Mrs. Sheng is not afraid.
"Go ahead and complain, we'll just have to stop living together then."
Since she's already in Shanghai, let them do whatever they want back in Kyoto.
The assistant sighed, "Old Madam Sheng has been very dissatisfied with you all these years. If you leave like this, won't you just give them an opening?"
In the past, things were fine. Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had some minor conflicts, they never escalated to such a serious level.
Ever since Huang Nianyan came to our house, she has stirred up a turbulent pond, and there has never been a peaceful day since.
Especially after being provoked by Huang Nianyan, Old Madam Sheng harbored even more resentment towards her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sheng.
They kept complaining that she couldn't give birth to a son, and wouldn't let men go out and find women to have sons.
If it weren't for Old Master Sheng stopping it, this might not have happened at all.
Mrs. Sheng isn't afraid at all.
"Old Sheng, with such a high position, dares to betray his marriage and go to a mistress? Does he not want to keep his job?"
"I don't believe he would be that stupid."
Besides, if he really wanted a son, he would have had one secretly long ago.
She still trusted her husband to some extent.
As for Old Madam Sheng, although she is old, she is still very active.
Especially with Huang Nianyan stirring things up, Old Madam Sheng became even more unruly.
She didn't want to be upset at home, so she simply ran away.
To prevent her from becoming depressed if she stays any longer.
The assistant admired her decisiveness.
In this day and age, Mrs. Sheng is the first woman to dare to run away from home while her husband is still alive.
No wonder she was willing to stay with her for so many years.
Just then, Huang Nianyan came in.
Mrs. Sheng's face turned cold.
He glanced at Huang Nianyan from head to toe. "You were able to persuade even the gatekeeper. Looks like you have quite a few connections in Shanghai?"
Huang Nianyan glanced around the room and, seeing that Sheng Jingheng wasn't there, stopped pretending.
He sneered smugly, "Yes, my influence extends all over the country, so my wife shouldn't play hide-and-seek with me."
She looked around the room with an air of familiarity, even scrutinizing the furnishings, as if she were the lady of the house.
"This sofa is too outdated and doesn't suit my refined taste."
"And the paintings on the wall are too cheap."
"I don't like cheap things."
She eliminated each item one by one, as if she were the mistress of the place.
Mrs. Sheng's temper flared up immediately.
"Who do you think you are, pointing fingers at me like that?"
"You really think Ah Heng will marry you?"
"Let me tell you, even if my son never gets married, he will never marry you. You'll just be an old maid for the rest of your life!"
Huang Nianyan's face turned cold.
Looking at Mrs. Sheng like a venomous snake, he said, "Madam, are you getting senile? Brother Heng and I are so good to each other, and Father Sheng is also good to me. Marrying Brother Heng would be such a perfect ending for me. I advise you not to be ungrateful."
"Brother Aheng, if you refuse to marry me because of this, I won't let you off the hook."
Her sinister appearance startled Mrs. Sheng.
This is practically a carbon copy of Hu Cai'er; another madwoman.
Upon hearing these words, the assistant frowned and stepped forward to protect Mrs. Sheng, saying, "Miss Huang, this is the Sheng family home, not your domain. I hope you will have some self-respect."
Huang Nianyan glanced at her disdainfully, "Assistant Sun, you're just an employee, what right do you have to talk to me?"
"I am the eldest daughter of the Sheng family. If you don't know your place, I will make you disappear forever."
That's a vicious remark.
Assistant Sun was also very angry.
But she didn't have as much power as Huang Nianyan, and she clenched her fists in anger.
She came to the Sheng family ten years ago. At first, she thought Huang Nianyan was a good person, but after getting to know her, she found that this woman only pretended to be well-behaved in front of male elders or her brother.
He looked at those girls with disdain.
I don't know if she's misogynistic or effeminate.
Huang Nianyan was initially willing to communicate with her in order to find out about Mrs. Sheng's assets.
As Mrs. Sheng's financial assistant, and having returned from abroad, she was naturally more shrewd and wouldn't tell her.
After discovering Huang Nianyan's scheming, he advised Mrs. Sheng to organize her assets to prevent Huang Nianyan from taking them.
Mrs. Sheng didn't dislike Huang Nianyan at first, but after discovering Huang Nianyan's ambition and scheming, she disliked her more and more and naturally didn't want to give her the property.
Therefore, Assistant Sun manages all the assets.
Assistant Sun even suggested that she ask Master Sheng for money every month.
Mrs. Sheng was initially dismissive, after all, she was not short of money and could not bring herself to ask a man for money.
But Assistant Sun said, "Money is only real when it's in your own hands. Rather than letting the master give the money to Huang Nianyan, you can keep it and give it to the young master or someone else later."
Mrs. Sheng thought it made a lot of sense and immediately asked Mr. Sheng for money.
I have to give her half of my salary every month, and only the other half can be used for household expenses.
Master Sheng still respected his first wife very much, and giving her money was never a problem.
Madam Sheng was furious, but her son insisted on giving her money, and no matter how much she cried and made a fuss, there was nothing she could do.
In the end, half of the money was given, but the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worsened.
Mrs. Sheng didn't care.
I used to try to win over my mother-in-law, but I found that all she wanted was her eldest grandson.
I'm not going to try to win their favor anymore; whatever happens, happens.
Huang Nianyan also harbored resentment towards Assistant Sun because of money.
She had originally planned to have Grandpa Sheng give her all her monthly allowance to buy whatever she wanted.
Who knew that Mrs. Sheng would take half of it?
Mrs. Sheng didn't contribute to household expenses; she could only buy things with her meager salary.
Fortunately, her lackeys are willing to spend money on her; now, everything she eats and drinks is provided by them.
So many noble young masters fawn over her, I don't believe Sheng Jingheng could really not love her.
Huang Nianyan came here this time with the intention of taking down Shengjing Heng in one fell swoop.
Although she wasn't sure what mission Sheng Jingheng was on, she knew that Master Sheng was grooming him.
He is also being groomed by those above him.
So many arrogant and wealthy young men didn't dare to utter a sound in front of Sheng Jingheng, which shows how well he was doing.
She was determined to have such a powerful, influential, and handsome man.
This Mrs. Sheng is so ungrateful.
If it weren't for Sheng Jingheng valuing this old woman, she would have killed her long ago.
And this Assistant Sun is just like Mrs. Sheng.
However, Assistant Sun is backed by Shengjing Heng, making the situation difficult to handle.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she wins over Sheng Jingheng and becomes the mistress of this house.
From now on, Mrs. Sheng and Assistant Sun will have to kneel down and lick her shoes!
