At this time, the maids had already started serving dishes one after another.
Madam Xiao turned her gaze towards Li Nian, her attitude blatantly disdainful. "And you, Yun, you were born to a concubine in the Minister's family, so your birth was already inferior. But since you and Yu'er had no matchmaker, I had no choice but to marry you."
"I thought you'd change your petty ways after entering the Marquis's mansion, but I see you show no remorse at all. Your unseemly nature is even stronger than before."
Li Sisi listened to what Madam Xiao said, and the anger in her heart was suppressed again and again, but it became increasingly difficult to suppress.
After scolding her, he scolded Nian Nian again. Was he giving her face?
She was so angry and annoyed. Why was the food served so slowly today?
Madam Xiao continued to scold with a cold face: "Look at Miss Wen, standing next to her, the two of you have such a huge difference in temperament and demeanor. You must learn from Miss Wen and Shen, too! Learn their manners!"
At this time, the dishes have almost been served and the maids are setting the table.
Wen Luoxin smiled modestly, "Old Madam, you are too kind. My two sisters-in-law must have their own strengths..."
"Crash--bang!"
Li Sisi suddenly stood up and overturned the table, interrupting Wen Luoxin's next words.
"Ah! Shen! What are you doing?!"
Wen Luoxin was also caught off guard by her move. She was originally full of complacency, but now she looked confused.
Shen Fu, who strictly demands herself to be virtuous and kind, actually dared to overturn the old lady's dining table?!
"Ms. Shen, you are so unruly. Is this how the Shen family raises their daughter? If your behavior gets out, outsiders will think that all the girls in the Shen family are unruly."
Li Sisi looked at Mrs. Xiao's sarcastic face, clenched her fists, and wished she could punch her in the face.
Wen Luoxin came back to her senses and quickly spoke out to stop him: "Second Madam Xiao, please admit your mistake to the old lady. Don't let your behavior implicate the entire Shen family."
"Oh, don't be so hypocritical. I'm telling you, I can endure hardship, but I can't suffer loss!" She glared at Madam Xiao and shouted, "Since you think Wen Luoxin is so good, why don't I just divorce Xiao Yunchen and make room for her?"
Wen Luoxin's heart skipped a beat. How come Chen Fu's temper became so bad and she spoke so without restraint?
A flicker of joy flashed across her eyes, but Wen Luoxin's face was filled with humiliation: "Why would Second Madam say such a thing? Lord Xiao and I have nothing wrong. We exchanged letters before, and it was only to learn about the old man's condition."
Wen Luoxin deliberately leaked the information. According to Chen Fu's temper, she would definitely go to Xiao Yunchen and make a big scene. Men are most annoyed by unreasonable women. After all, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone just exchanging letters.
They will not feel that they are wrong, but will instead think that their wives are petty.
As Li Sisi listened to their scoldings, their subtle yet veiled words, the rage within her surged like a tidal wave. It was as if an iron rod were hammering at her heart, sending waves of anger through her that she found it difficult to control.
A voice in her heart urged her to smash everything in front of her to pieces and shut up these arrogant people!
Just as she was about to move, someone suddenly grabbed her hand.
Li Sisi's violent emotions suddenly stopped, and she slowly turned her head to look at Li Nian, whose face was soft.
"Sisi, don't."
Just like before, her thoughts were accurately guessed by her. Li Sisi regained her senses, took a deep breath, and stared at Mrs. Xiao fiercely.
"Don't cause me any trouble in the future. I used to tolerate you for Xiao Yunchen's sake, but I won't do that anymore!"
"What are you going to do next?" A familiar voice, low and filled with anger.
Li Sisi's body stiffened for a moment, and she looked at Xiao Yunchen who walked in from the door.
He was still wearing the robe he had worn when they were intimate, and his face was still as gentle and elegant as jade. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the messy dining room before retracting his gaze to Li Sisi.
His face was so calm that no emotion could be discerned, his eyes were deep and still, without any sign of anger.
He first ordered the maids to clean up the dining room, then bowed respectfully to Madam Xiao, and then said calmly to Wen Luoxin: "Miss Wen was frightened. It is inconvenient to continue entertaining guests in the mansion today."
Wen Luoxin immediately understood what he meant when she heard this and quickly bowed and said goodbye.
Only then did Xiao Yunchen pull Li Sisi's wrist and walk towards Jinxiu Residence.
Noticing Li Nian following behind him, he stopped and said calmly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm not your elder brother, so my temper isn't that bad."
Li Sisi also said: "Niannian, go back. I will come to find you soon."
Xiao Yunchen's grip on Li Sisi's wrist suddenly tightened, and she glared at him unhappily.
Li Nian looked at Xiao Yunchen, whose face was calm, and thought of the description of his character in the book. As a powerful official who was good at court intrigue, his fighting ability should be inferior to Sisi's.
"Okay, I'll go back first. If you need anything, you must come to me. It's okay to come at night. I will accompany you at night."
Xiao Yunchen's calm eyes darkened for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law. It won't be of any use."
After saying that, he pulled Li Sisi into Jinxiu Residence.
After returning to the house, Xiao Yunchen let go of Li Sisi's wrist and scolded her in a deep voice: "You just went too far. How can you be so disrespectful to your elders! Moreover, you did it in front of outsiders, and you didn't even give your mother a bit of face!"
Although Li Sisi expected this man to scold her, his attitude of not even asking the reason still made her feel chilled.
She sneered and said, "It's the same for you. If you want face, someone will naturally give it to you in the future. I can't give you the magnanimity and patience you want." You can't give me uniqueness either.
After saying that, Li Sisi turned around and prepared to leave. Arguing without any result was very boring.
Xiao Yunchen grabbed her and frowned: "Where are you going? Explain yourself clearly!"
Li Sisi glared at him impatiently: "None of your business!"
She wanted to pull back her grabbed wrist.
Xiao Yunchen's grip tightened, and his usually gentle tone now tinged with anger as he asked, "You went to see your sister-in-law again? Ever since you married into the Xiao family, you've been looking for your sister-in-law when you're happy and when you're angry. What do you think of me as your husband?"
It actually sounds a bit aggrieved?
Li Sisi replied indifferently, "A tool."
"What?" Xiao Yunchen frowned and asked in confusion, as if he didn't understand what she meant.
Yes, he could understand, but she didn't dare to say it.
"Nothing, just praising your skills," Li Sisi replied perfunctorily, pried open his fingers with her other hand, and ran out.
Xiao Yunchen chased after her without thinking. He had long felt that Li Sisi's attitude was not right recently, and it seemed that she was plotting something.
When I heard her say the word "divorce" today, I was shocked to realize that Li Sisi's enthusiasm for him was no longer as strong as before.
Although she would go to see her sister-in-law in the past, every time she came back, she would always greet him with a smile, hug him and act coquettishly for kisses.
She also always said some embarrassing dirty words to him and always took pleasure in teasing him.
Recently, her attitude towards him has become more like what he expected before marriage, with respect and courtesy.
But, it shouldn’t be like this. His wife is not like that.
