"You probably don't know yet, but not only this year, but also the birthday buns in previous years were made and sent by our second branch. Although our second branch is poor, we really did our best for the old lady's birthday, but we didn't get any benefit at all. I even doubt whether my father-in-law is the old lady's biological son!" Only Liu could say such words without sounding deliberate, and only Liu could say such words.

Although Liu Shi lacked confidence in the Han family because she had not given birth to a son, the Han family had already split up, and she was only afraid of her mother-in-law. The old lady followed the first wife and had no control over their second wife, so she was not afraid. Moreover, the old lady was so partial to the second wife and bullied her. She had long been accustomed to it. Now she had the support of the fourth wife, and she would be sorry if she didn't make a scene. Liu Shi now regarded Su Wenyue as an idol, and felt that she was not afraid of anything with the fourth wife around.

However, before coming here, Su Wenyue did instill this concept in the Han family's wives. It was not bluffing. As the saying goes, don't fight a battle without preparation. Knowing that she was going to the first room to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and knowing that Old Lady Han and the first room were difficult to deal with, she had already sent people to inquire and investigated the affairs of the first room. Su Wenyue really grasped the lifeline of the first room. With this, she could end the trouble no matter how big it was. As for the reputation of Old Lady Han and the first room, it was not within her consideration.

When Liu said this, not only did the guests at the banquet talk about it in private, but the old lady and the people in the first house also looked unhappy. In the past, the birthday buns made by the second house and some other things that no one knew about were used by the old lady to show off to her eldest grandson who worked in a business, so that everyone knew that she had a capable grandson. Now that Liu said this, not only did the old lady lose face, but Han Ping also lost face.

Among the first wife's children, only Han Wangshi and her two sons were not unhappy. Their stance was opposite to that of the stepson, and they actually felt a bit gloating in their hearts. However, they endured it because of the old lady and fear that Han Jinbiao would be unhappy.

"It turns out that the birthday buns every year are sent by the second branch of the Han family. Not to mention making so many birthday buns, even the flour must cost a lot. Why does the old lady still give the credit to the first branch? It's rare to be so partial. Even outsiders like us feel it's unfair."

"Who said it wasn't true? I used to think that the second wife was too stingy, but now it seems that's not the case!"

Han Jincai saw that the old lady looked very unhappy. If she was really angry, their second house would definitely not be happy. Seeing that Liu was still going to make trouble, he quickly scolded her: "Liu, shut up. Do you know the rules? How do you talk to your elders? You, as a junior, should just listen to what your elders say. Even if you feel wronged, you can't talk back in front of so many people. I won't bother with you today. Why don't you get out of here?"

Han Jincai's words were well-spoken. Although he was scolding Liu on the surface, the meaning behind his words was thought-provoking.

Even though Old Lady Han was very angry, she held back for the sake of her reputation, thinking that she would settle the score with the second wife's family after the banquet. Don't think she didn't know that the second wife was deliberately trying to upset her today.

The thing has already happened. Liu has said everything that should and should not be said. There is no point in dwelling on it. What's more, what Liu said was the fact and there is no room for refutation. The best way now is to not bring it up again and to get over it. Han Jinbiao quickly announced the start of the meal and then took his sons to greet the guests.

Compared to the first wife's frustration, this was the first time that the second wife had such a happy meal at the old lady's birthday party. After being suppressed by the first wife for so many years, they finally had the chance to turn things around and let out the anger that had been pent up in their hearts for so many years.

After the banquet, Yang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still had to help clean up the kitchen and the scene before they could leave.

"Grandma." Everyone was busy, but Han Zhou took advantage of no one paying attention to go look for the old lady.

"Ping's daughter-in-law, why are you running here when you're not busy in the kitchen? Is this the time to be lazy? It's Wang, that lazy and greedy woman, and the people from the second room. The remaining dishes today are all in the kitchen. I'm worried if no one is watching." The old lady was in a bad mood and didn't have a good tone for Zhou, whom she usually liked.

"Grandma, don't worry. I have locked up the remaining birthday buns and dishes today. Besides, my granddaughter-in-law is not the kind of person who likes to be lazy. I have been married to the Han family for so long, and you should know my character well. I have something to discuss with you." Han Zhou hated the people in the second house. At this time, she thought of an idea to strike a blow against the second house and benefit from it. She couldn't wait to find the old lady of the Han family.

"Oh? What's the matter? Is it related to the second house?"

"Grandma, what do you think of the maidservant next to the fourth son's wife? She's the girl named Xiaoxi."

When the old lady heard Xiaoxi's name, she was stunned at first, then she realized who Xiaoxi was, and her face showed disdain and disgust.

"What do you mean? She's just a sharp-tongued girl. Her master has a lot of bad ideas. She's not a good person either."

In the past, the second house had always been at her mercy, but this year, things became different after Han Yu's wife got married. Everyone in the second house had a bad temper and dared to go against her. It was obvious that it was related to Han Yu's wife. Although the old lady didn't have any evidence, it did not prevent her from guessing and imagining. Moreover, Su Wenyue's previous attitude of standing on Yang's side also made the old lady resentful.

After hearing what the old lady said, Zhou knew that in order to achieve her goal she had to change the old lady's mind.

"Mother, you are wronging Xiaoxi. She is a good girl. I saw her busy in the kitchen. She was very neat and nimble. She worked very well, better than Han Yu's wife. Moreover, she is not bad looking. She is very generous in what she says and does. She is worthy of being a maid from a rich family. Even the girls from ordinary small families can't compare to her. No wonder people say that they would rather marry a maid from a rich family than a girl from a small family. There is some truth to this."

"Is that girl really that good? If you are asked to speak up for her like this, people who don't know would think Xiaoxi is your maid. You are so protective of her. But that girl looks like a straightforward person, better than Han Yu's wife. She doesn't have so many tricks. It's a pity that she is just a maid."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"What is there for a maid to be afraid of? As long as I redeem myself, I will be a good person. It will be fine as long as Han Yu's wife is willing to let me go."

"Ping's daughter-in-law, tell me the truth, do you have any purpose in saying good things to Xiaoxi?" The old lady was not completely confused.
