Ye Lanyin slightly raised her chin, no longer as meek and submissive as before.
The thorn that had been dormant in the heart of the Marquis of Zhenbei seemed to have been rekindled.
"Hua Mei, go and invite your elder brother over."
"Yes, Madam." Hua Mei had wanted to go for a long time, and now that she heard Madam's order, she ran off as fast as she could.
"Stop!" Marquis Zhenbei roared angrily.
Ignoring Ye Lanyin, Marquis Zhenbei bowed to Zou Shuang'er and said, "Madam Zou, I'm sorry you've been wronged. Family matters should not be made public. Please forgive me."
"Could you please ask Cousin Zou to apologize to my wife, considering how much my mother dotes on you? It would be a way to settle things in our household."
Zou Shuang'er gripped the hem of her skirt with her fingers, her eyes reddening.
The man before me was so spirited and handsome, yet he lived such a life.
She felt so sorry for him that she cried.
“Cousin, you’re exaggerating. It’s normal for children to quarrel. Since Madam Lin is so upset, I’ll apologize.”

Husband gone?
Zou Shuang'er was so angry she almost cursed out loud. If she hadn't bitten her lip tightly, she probably would have already blurted it out.
"Of course not, Madam Lin. These children don't know how to apologize. What happened just now is already acceptable. After all, I am also your daughter's elder."
"Whether the apology from the elder is of greater or lesser importance, you and I both know in our hearts."
[Screw your elders, you're not even worthy to wash my diapers!]
Ye Lanyin twitched the corners of her mouth; her daughter was really naughty.
"Madam, why are you so relentless? They've already apologized, what more do you want? What's gotten into you now?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at her with a hint of disgust, seeing her petty and narrow-minded manner.
