"Mother, I've brought Lan'er and your grandson-in-law to celebrate your birthday."
As they spoke, they lifted the curtain and came in.
Upon seeing Su Rong'an, his expression changed slightly.
"My older sister is here too."
A mocking glint flashed in Su Rong'an's eyes.
“It’s Mother’s birthday, where else could I go if I didn’t come here? But you, you only came at this time. Do you think Mother has to take care of everything in the mansion for her birthday? Your husband is incompetent and you’ve become increasingly lazy. You’re a live-in son-in-law, yet you insist on being called Madam Cheng in public. You’ve really disgraced the Su family.”
Feeling embarrassed, Mrs. Cheng glared fiercely at her husband.
“We sisters are having a conversation, what are you standing here for? Go outside and greet the guests.”
Cheng Nan bowed respectfully.
He didn't dare say a word and walked away with his head down.
Ms. Cheng withdrew her gaze in annoyance and resumed her smile.
“I can’t compare to my elder sister. Although her husband is not good enough, he is by her side day and night. Unlike my brother-in-law, who often stays at the military camp with his son, my brother-in-law gets to enjoy peace and quiet at night.”
Su Rong'an's face turned rather ugly with anger.
His gaze suddenly fell on Cheng Shi's back.
Looking at Qin Minglang and Su Yulan, who were walking hand in hand and very close, and Qin Run beside them, he smiled again.
"Lan'er is just like my second sister. She only looks at a man's face. She is a county princess, but she has to lower herself to be a stepmother."
Su Yulan had been oppressed by the eldest son's wife since childhood, and today she came with the determination to crush him; how could she possibly hold back?
“My husband is a second-rank general, the same rank as my eldest uncle. He is now the commander of the patrol battalion, in charge of the security of the capital, and holds military power. He has also renovated the war chariots and is highly regarded by the emperor…”
Qin Minglang, feeling guilty, tried to pull her away, but couldn't stop her at all.
Su Yulan became more and more pleased with herself as she spoke.
"Military supplies and weapons are essential on the battlefield. A good batch of armored vehicles can enhance defensive capabilities several times over. Perhaps in the future, my uncle and cousin will still need to rely on my husband. I advise my aunt to be more polite in her speech."
She pulled Qin Run to her side again.
"And then there's my Run'er, who is obedient and well-behaved, and very respectful to me. He even achieved excellent results in the Imperial Academy's examination. I would be happy to have a few more sons like him."
Su Rong'an looked at Qin Minglang with disdain.
"You're now the commander of the patrol battalion?"
Qin Minglang broke out in a cold sweat.
Su Yulan scoffed, "My husband was rewarded by the Emperor for his meritorious service in modifying the war chariots. How could it be false?"
"But I heard..." Before Su Rong'an could finish speaking, a charming and alluring voice suddenly came from outside the curtain, making one's heart tremble.
