Chapter 605



Su Wenyue is not a pushover. Everyone is watching her reaction. If she lets Shao off so easily and shows signs of weakness, then anyone will dare to bully her in the future. Even if she is not afraid, she will be annoyed to death.

This incident alone would be fine, but there was also the matter with Zhou Yao, who was also causing trouble for her so blatantly, but she was let off like this. I'm afraid everyone will think that she is easy to bully, and those who can't find any flaws in Han Yu will also target her.

Furthermore, there was the matter of Zhou Yao. The city lord had originally promised to deal with Zhou Yao, but it ended up in such a way. It was difficult to explain to Han Yu why he had to do so, so Su Wenyue made up her mind to target Shao. Shao was the second young lady of the city lord's mansion, and the city lord must have backed down a bit because of what happened last time, not to mention that it was Shao who provoked first.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, Su Wenyue showed a sarcastic smile on her face and looked at Shao with cold eyes: "Speaking of this, I actually admire the Second Young Master's wife. The Second Young Master has so many concubines, but you manage them well. You also gave the maidservants around you to the Second Young Master and gave birth to his eldest son. You are a truly virtuous woman. No wonder you look down on people like me."

As Su Wenyue spoke, she covered her mouth and chuckled twice. It seemed that she was praising Shaw, but everyone understood the sarcasm in it. Fearing Shaw's identity and her always domineering personality and methods, most of the people present did not dare to express their thoughts. However, they secretly gloated over her misfortune, made fun of Shaw, and felt very happy when she was humiliated.

It was also because Shaw was too domineering and arrogant in his daily life. Even though these ladies flattered Shaw on the surface, few of them were sincere. They had long been resentful in their hearts and hoped that Shaw would suffer at the hands of Su Wenyue. They had somewhat agreed with Su Wenyue's words just now, and now Su Wenyue's actions made them admire her. She did what they wanted to do but dared not to do, and actually slapped Shaw in the face in public.

Shao's face looked really ugly. What she hated most was other people mentioning the matter of offspring. This was a sore spot for her. She wanted status and position. She was loved by her father and brothers in her parents' home. After she got married, her husband was considerate and gentle to her. Even her nominal mother-in-law had to be courteous to her. Her life should have been the best among these ladies, but there was no such perfect thing in the world.

She had been married to the city lord's mansion for so many years, but she had no news of pregnancy and had not given birth to a child for her husband. She had suffered a lot for this, and had seen many famous doctors and taken many folk prescriptions and magical medicines, but they had no effect at all, and there was still no news of pregnancy. Her father-in-law was disappointed with her for this, and her mother-in-law used this as an excuse to control her. She could only swallow her anger and silently watch them stuff people around her husband, and even cut the face of the big maid next to her, and finally watch other women give birth to children for her husband.

Thinking of these, Shao felt a pain in her heart. Everyone knew that this was her taboo and she would never mention it easily in normal times. However, Su Wenyue used it to ridicule and mock her in front of everyone. Shao originally only attacked Su Wenyue for some purpose, but now he really hated this woman.

"Su, what do you mean? Are you making fun of me?!" Shao's voice was sharp and very aggressive, as if he was going to pounce on her and fight her to the death if Su Wenyue didn't give a good answer.

The city lord's wife was frowning as she watched from the side. She was very dissatisfied with Shao's behavior. Not only did Shao go against the master's wishes, but he also slapped her in the face.

"Second son's wife, that's enough. As the second young master's wife of the City Lord's Mansion, I thought you knew what you should do. Madam Han is my distinguished guest, you must not be rude!" Although the City Lord's wife wanted to slap the second young master's wife a few more times, and she had been dissatisfied with Shao, the illegitimate son's wife, for a long time, she knew the overall situation. Even though she wanted to take the opportunity to teach Shao a lesson, she still held back. After all, Shao was still her person of the City Lord's Mansion. What she did behind closed doors was one thing, but she couldn't let her lose face for the City Lord's Mansion in front of so many people.

Shao was unwilling to give in. Moreover, she had a purpose in targeting Su Wenyue today. Therefore, she did not listen to the words of the City Lord's wife. She wanted to say something else, but when she met the City Lord's wife's cold eyes, she suddenly fell silent.

Although this nominal mother-in-law liked to find fault with her, she always had an ambiguous and neither anxious nor lively attitude. She acted very nicely on the surface so that people could not find any fault with her. It was rare to see her speak so harshly, and it seemed that she was really irritated. Thinking of the words her father-in-law had said before he left, Shao suddenly felt a little scared and forced herself to hold back and not say anything.

Su Wenyue had been prepared to have a heated argument with Shao, but she didn't expect Shao to give in so easily. She then heard the city lord's wife talking about peace.

"Madam Han, I'm sorry. It was my fault for not disciplining my second son's wife that she offended you. She has always had this kind of temper. Don't bother with her. I will teach her a lesson later!" The city lord's wife saw that although Shao didn't say anything, she still looked unconvinced. In the end, she couldn't help but belittle Shao.

Originally, because of Shao's temper, the master had specifically instructed Shao before the banquet, hoping that Shao could control her temper and not go too far, even if Madam Han was not very friendly because of Zhou Yao's matter, they had to bear it. As a result, Madam Han was friendly from beginning to end and did not mention the previous unpleasant things, but Shao targeted Madam Han for no reason and embarrassed Madam Han in front of everyone without any consideration. Now she cleaned up the mess and asked Shao to shut up, but Shao still looked unwilling.

The city lord's wife was also very angry and was thinking about teaching Shao a lesson after the banquet. She had a ready-made excuse.

Seeing the City Lord's wife's attitude, Su Wenyue wanted to say something but had to stop. Since the City Lord's wife had expressed her position, some things could not be done too extreme.

Back at the mansion, Su Wenyue and Han Yu mentioned what happened in the City Lord's Mansion: "Husband, although Shao Shi herself is arrogant and insolent, I still think her behavior today is a bit strange. Although Shao Shi is arrogant, she is not stupid. She deliberately targeted me like this. Don't say that I have no grudge against her. Doesn't she know the consequences of doing this? She is openly singing against the City Lord."

Han Yu was not surprised at all when he heard this. Instead, he understood it a little and smiled coldly: "No, it's not surprising that she would react like this."
