"Ha! What right do I have?"
I am the General's wife, and you second and third wives are parasites of our General's mansion.
You eat and drink our food, so it's only right that you endure some bad rumors. If you don't want to endure these, you can separate from our main branch. Then we'll go our own way, and you can go your own way.
In this way, although your lives will be poor, at least you won't have to endure the gossip in the capital!
Isn't this great?
Chu looked at Madam Sheng and mocked her mercilessly.
"Chu, your words are too harsh! What do you mean by calling our second and third branches parasites of the General's Mansion? Our husbands are the eldest brother's younger brother. What's wrong with the eldest brother helping his younger brothers now that he's successful?"
Madam Sheng said angrily.
Chu sneered:
"I didn't say we wouldn't help you! But since you need our eldest son's help to live a good life, then you'd better stay put. You have no right to speak in the General's Mansion!"
"If you're living under someone else's roof, you should be prepared to accept that."
Chu's words made Madam Sheng the Third and Second Madams blush and blush, but they were speechless.
"Alright, all of you, stop arguing. We're all family, there's no point in making things unpleasant. I think we should just leave it at that!"
Let's discuss this matter when Ling Tian returns!
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with Madam Chu, and knowing that any further words would only make her lose face, Old Madam Sheng stood up, intending to wait for Sheng Lingtian to return so that he could discipline his wife.
This Chu woman is getting more and more arrogant, completely disregarding her as her mother-in-law.
It's time for my son to keep a closer eye on his wife...
When Chu heard what Old Madam Sheng said, she didn't pay any attention. Even Sheng Lingtian couldn't change her decision. She would naturally protect her son and daughter-in-law.
When Madam Sheng saw that Madam Chu ignored her, she was furious, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she could only snort and leave.
As I left the East Garden, I saw Sheng Wanwan squatting next to some precious flowers in the garden, doing something I didn't know.
Madam Sheng disliked Chu Shi and also had no fondness for Sheng Wanwan, who resembled Chu Shi.
Having just suffered another bout of anger at the Chu family, she said to Sheng Wanwan in a rather irritable tone:
"Wanwan! Why are you still squatting in that corner? How rude! Grandmother is here, what are you dawdling for? Come over here and kowtow to Grandmother to pay your respects!"
Sheng Wanwan was chatting with a little bee when Old Madam Sheng's angry rebuke made her frown.
She turned her head to look at Old Madam Sheng, stood up, and patted the dust off her skirt.
She took small steps to stand in front of Old Madam Sheng and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Grandmother...are you well!"
Sheng Wanwan is beautiful and has a sweet smile; most people would like her.
But when Madam Sheng looked at Sheng Wanwan's face, which was exactly the same as Chu's, the hatred in her heart spread like a venomous snake.
She hated the Chu family, and she hated this little maid who looked exactly like the Chu family even more.
Madam Sheng looked at Sheng Wanwan with disdain and said, "Your little face is exactly the same as your lowly mother's! You were born to seduce men, you slut!"
Sheng Wanwan was unhappy when she heard Old Madam Sheng say that.
"Grandma's words are so strange. Why do you scold Wanwan and her mother just because they are good-looking?"
Wanwan and her mother are just good-looking, and they are not naughty or mischievous, so why does her grandmother dislike them?
Oh, Grandma, is it because you're not pretty enough that you're a little jealous of Wanwan and Mother who are so beautiful? But Grandma, you're an adult now, you can't be so petty.
Adults should be more magnanimous. Even if Grandma is ugly, she shouldn't change her appearance out of jealousy just because someone else is beautiful! That would only make Grandma uglier!
And bad people are bound to have bad luck!
Sheng Wanwan's big, watery eyes blinked, as clear and bright as a lake, but the words that came out of her mouth were not so pleasant.
"You brat!"
Madam Sheng was so angry that her face turned ashen, and she raised her hand to slap Sheng Wanwan across the face.
Seeing this, Sheng Wanwan quickly took two steps back. Old Madam Sheng missed Sheng Wanwan and lost her balance, falling directly to the ground.
"Ouch! You little brat, how dare you dodge! You unfilial son! Ouch! You almost killed me..."
Old Madam Sheng fell flat on her back and immediately cried out in pain.
Upon seeing this, Madam Sheng the Second and Madam Sheng the Third quickly stepped forward to help Madam Sheng the Old Madam up.
Madam Sheng looked at Sheng Wanwan and scolded her:
"You wretched child! Look what you've done to your grandmother! Like mother, like daughter, you're just like that vixen of a mother!"
Although Madam Sheng was naturally timid, she looked around and saw no one from the East Garden nearby. Having just been humiliated by Madam Chu, she was already seething with anger, so she seized the opportunity to provoke a fight and vent her frustration.
She slowly walked towards Sheng Wanwan, saying as she went:
"Pushing your grandmother down at such a young age is simply outrageous! Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother-in-law, so you little brat will know what filial piety is."
Madam Sheng approached Sheng Wanwan step by step. Sheng Wanwan was not afraid, but calmly looked at her.
Seeing Madam Sheng's appearance, Sheng Wanwan suddenly thought of a saying: "Bullying the weak and fearing the strong."
I really didn't expect that the woman who is usually so timid and has no presence in the general's mansion would be so fierce to a little baby like her today.
That's absolutely shameless.
Madam Sheng the Second saw the mockery in Sheng Wanwan's eyes and became even angrier. She raised her leg to kick Sheng Wanwan's small body.
A mischievous smile crept across Sheng Wanwan's lips. She stepped back, her hands forming a hand seal, and shouted, "Second Aunt, I heard that bad people who bully children will get their comeuppance!"
As soon as Sheng Wanwan finished speaking, Madam Sheng the Second felt her legs go weak and she fell to the ground with a thud.
Just as Madam Sheng was about to unleash a torrent of curses, a buzzing sound suddenly arose all around her. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was a swarm of black bees.
Madam Sheng was instantly terrified, her face turning as white as paper. She screamed and frantically waved her arms, trying to drive away these uninvited guests.
However, the bees seemed to have a grudge against her, swarming all over her.
"Ah...where did this bee come from! Get away! Get away! Don't sting me..."
Madam Sheng screamed in pain as bees stung her cheeks, neck, arms, and every exposed part of her skin.
Upon seeing this, Madam Sheng was so frightened that she quickly took a few steps back, fearing that the bees would sting her as well.
But what I feared most came to pass.
Suddenly, the bees split into three groups: one group stayed where it was, one group rushed towards her, and the other group rushed towards Old Madam Sheng.
