"Hmph! Madam Chu, so much time has passed, why are you still bringing it up? Don't forget, the Sheng family is still in charge of the General's Mansion! Wen Jin is a descendant of the Sheng family, and his marriage is naturally decided by the Sheng family!" Old Madam Sheng's voice rose eight octaves, sounding unusually stern.
Madam Chu remained unmoved. She glanced indifferently at Old Madam Sheng and chuckled softly.
"Mother-in-law! Do you really think that by raising your voice you can control the East Garden, control Wen Jin, and control me?"
Looking at Chu's indifferent demeanor, Old Madam Sheng felt angry, but there was nothing she could do.
She gestured with her eyes to the two daughters-in-law following behind her.
When Madam Sheng saw her mother-in-law's gaze sweep over her, she flinched slightly, but still forced herself to speak.
"Sister-in-law! Mother is right. Wen Jin is such an outstanding child, how can we give him..."
"Second sister-in-law, there's no need to say more. My eldest son's family's affairs are naturally decided by my eldest son's family, so there's no need for you to worry about them."
Before Madam Sheng could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Madam Chu. Although Madam Sheng may seem gentle and soft-spoken, she is actually a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong.
If I don't take a firm stance, I'm afraid this Second Madam Sheng will think she can speak for me and become even more unruly.
When Madam Sheng heard Chu interrupt her so bluntly, she felt embarrassed, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
She looked at Old Madam Sheng with an expression that said, "I've done my best."
Madam Sheng sat angrily in her chair, inwardly cursing her second daughter-in-law for being so useless!
"Sister-in-law, that's not how it works. Although this matter concerns your main branch, it also concerns the General's Mansion."
We, the second and third branches of the family, are also part of the General's Mansion. If outsiders want to mock the General's Mansion, then we have to listen.
"It's not just your eldest son's family that's losing face; our second and third sons will also be ridiculed by everyone in the capital!"
Madam Sheng also began to speak.
"Heh... If your second and third sister-in-laws are afraid of being implicated, then why don't you separate the family? You should move out of the General's Mansion, then you won't be afraid of being implicated!"
Chu snorted coldly and retorted.
"What are you saying? Our parents are still alive, and you're already clamoring to divide the family property? Even if it were a matter of dividing the family property, it would have been our parents who brought it up. What right do you have to suggest it?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Sheng slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her eyes wide with anger.
What a joke! Their wealth and social status are all thanks to the General's Mansion. They want to separate from the family? No way!
