Old Master Sheng pretended to be deep in thought, and then immediately agreed, "Wanwan, don't worry, Grandpa isn't senile. With your good granddaughter reminding me, I won't be easily fooled."
In a single sentence, the closeness of the family was revealed, showing who was the closest member of the Sheng family.
Madam Sheng frowned, clearly displeased. "Dad, how can you be so blind to family ties? Feifei is the future daughter-in-law of the Sheng family!"
"Grandpa Wanwan is my sworn brother who has gone through thick and thin with me. The Gu and Sheng families are also related by marriage. I've watched Wanwan grow up since she was a child, and I love her like my own granddaughter. I'm not so old that I can't tell right from wrong." Old Master Sheng's expression was dignified, exuding the oppressive aura of a superior. "It's your business if you recognize a goddaughter. My Sheng family doesn't acknowledge it. Besides, you and your goddaughter have only known each other for a year, and I've only met Qin Feifei a few times. Do you think it's possible for me to recognize someone I don't even know as my granddaughter and daughter-in-law?"
Sheng Zhuoting found his wife's actions increasingly absurd and alien. "We don't object to you recognizing a goddaughter, but you can't force us to accept it."
To put it bluntly, the Sheng family does not acknowledge Qin Feifei's identity.
Madam Sheng retorted unhappily, "Aren't we husband and wife?"
Gu Wanwan answered for Sheng Zhuoting, "You two are indeed not husband and wife!"
Madam Sheng's eyes flashed for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not his wife, so why would I be an imposter? I have nothing to hide, and I have a clear conscience. Investigate if you want, because I am the real Ji Zhili. I would never do something as immoral as switching people out. If I am, I am; if I am, I am. If I am, I am."
Fu Jingchen retorted with interest, "Our Mrs. Sheng is quite tough. My wife was just saying it casually. True gold fears no fire. Why are you getting so worked up? She only said you two aren't husband and wife, not that you're not Ji Zhili."
Madam Sheng clenched her fists secretly, carefully observing Sheng Zhuoting's expression, afraid that he might have some doubts.
Fortunately, Sheng Zhuoting did not express any doubt or suspicion.
Little did they know that Wan Jie and Chen Ge's words had already stirred up a storm in Sheng Zhuoting's heart.
Qin Feifei had already lost face once in front of Gu Wanwan, and now she had lost face again in front of the Sheng family. The Sheng family didn't even give face to Madam Sheng. She really wanted to lash out without restraint, but she couldn't reveal her true colors. "Mother Sheng, it's because I'm not worthy. I'm not as favored as Princess Gu in front of Grandpa Sheng. I'm just so wronged..."
Aunt Feng felt sorry for Qin Feifei's plight and cursed the Sheng family for being ungrateful. Fortunately, they were not alone. She would go upstairs to ask Old Madam Sheng to take charge. It was worth it for her and her wife to take care of her day and night. It was Old Madam Sheng who should repay them, since Old Madam Sheng was the one Old Master Sheng feared the most.
With her in charge, she will surely be able to turn the tide.
"But those sisters-in-law bullied Miss Feifei and acted like nothing happened. That's very unfair to Miss Feifei. Does that mean that Feifei's grievances were suffered in vain? Mr. Sheng, I'm just a maid, but I know how to behave. If you've done something wrong, you should admit it. Is it so hard for Miss Feifei to get an apology?"
"Does this world not deserve justice? The Sheng family is a prominent family, and should be even more clear about separating public and private matters, and stop this unhealthy trend. They cannot protect the other party just because she is the granddaughter of their sworn brother."
