Chapter 983 The Fan Family Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law
The atmosphere in the courtyard was tense and fraught with danger.
Shu Yu glanced around and saw a bench in the middle of the courtyard. Xiao Yun was struggling frantically on it, but she was no match for the strength of the two old women and was pinned down on the bench. Two people stood on either side with two large boards in their hands.
If Ding Yuehua hadn't arrived in time, she probably would have been punished.
Besides, there were two people who looked like the masters standing in the courtyard.
The younger one should be Madam Mei, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fan family. Beside her is an older woman, whose unfriendly expression and eyes suggest she is probably Madam Yu, the wife of the Fan family.
Shu Yu had heard from the old woman who came to deliver the news that Xiao Yun and Mei Shi had a conflict.
But it seems that the Yu family has also gotten involved.
Ding Yuehua is facing two opponents, one of whom is her mother-in-law, so she's going to be at a disadvantage.
Sure enough, before Ding Yuehua could even speak after rushing in, Madam Yu scolded her angrily, "What are you doing? How dare you barge into my elder brother and sister-in-law's courtyard like that?"
With Madam Yu present, Ding Yuehua suppressed her urge to rush forward and tear Madam Mei apart.
She took a deep breath and said to Madam Yu, "Mother, it was wrong of me to barge in so rashly, but it was my sister-in-law who detained my people first and beat Xiaoyun to death without even asking me. That's why I couldn't help myself. Xiaoyun has been with me since she was little. No matter what she did wrong, shouldn't my sister-in-law have come and talked to me before taking any action against her?"
With Mrs. Fan by her side, Madam Mei was not intimidated by Ding Yuehua at all. She sneered, "Did I ask you? You only protect her. What's the use of asking you? Xiaoyun has been with you since she was a child, but now that you've married into the Fan family, Xiaoyun is also a servant of the Fan family. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fan family, what's wrong with me disciplining a maid?"
Madam Yu nodded in agreement, “Your eldest sister-in-law is right. Third son’s wife, you’ve been married into our family for more than half a year now. You don’t still consider yourself a member of the Fan family and only treat this maid as your own relative, do you?”
Ding Yuehua was about to deny it on the spot, but Yu's words were clearly meant to attack her, as if she wanted to pin a crime on her.
But if she denies it, she will have to admit that Xiaoyun is a servant of the entire Fan family.
Shu Yu stood behind and frowned slightly. The Yu and Mei families were just being unreasonable and only intended to use their seniority to suppress Ding Yuehua.
Fortunately, Ding Yuehua was not a girl who only grew up in seclusion.
She quickly regained her composure, "Mother, no matter what, there must be a reason for punishing servants, otherwise how can we convince everyone? What exactly did Xiaoyun do wrong that my sister-in-law wants to beat Xiaoyun to death? I..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Madam Yu interrupted her loudly, "Third daughter-in-law, don't change the subject. I'm asking you now, do you really consider yourself a member of the Fan family? Is your heart truly with the Fan family?"
Ding Yuehua really disliked this mother-in-law.
Shu Yu was so angry she laughed. Ding Yuehua wanted to reason with her, but Yu Shi just wanted to use sophistry to overpower her and firmly protect her eldest daughter-in-law, right?
"Third son's wife, you still haven't answered my question. Is this how you respect your elders?"
Ding Yuehua cursed inwardly. It was like a scholar encountering a soldier; even if you were right, you couldn't reason with him. Damn it.
Suddenly, a familiar, laughing voice came from behind.
"Yuehua, I think your mother-in-law is right."
Ding Yuehua suddenly turned her head and saw Shu Yu standing behind her, actually agreeing with her mother-in-law.
