"Madam, do you know the lady just now?" Although Chun Liu had been following her, he only saw her stop and talk to Xu Sumin, and did not hear clearly what she said.

Shen Xinyan nodded and shook her head.

The one she knew was the "Mrs. Xu" in her previous life, but the current Mrs. Xu was someone she shouldn't know.

Chun Liu was a little confused, but she was not the kind of person who would get to the bottom of things, so she just nodded and said nothing more.

Because the Duke of England still had something to say to Master Huiming, and was impatient with Wei Junhang standing in front of him, he let Wei Junhang and his wife go home first.

How could Wei Junhang disobey the old man's order? Moreover, he thought it was better to accompany his sweet and soft wife than to accompany the old man who always liked to yell at him. So when he heard what he said, he patted his butt and left happily.

The Duke of England shook his head and sighed. This rebellious son doesn't look like a lucky general at all!

Because he failed to act like a hero in front of the lady and ended up losing face, Wei Junhang looked a little embarrassed on the way back home. Occasionally, he secretly glanced at Shen Xinyan beside him, for fear of seeing unhappiness on her face.

Shen Xinyan naturally noticed his actions and understood what he was thinking. She unconsciously thought of the scene where he rushed out with a stick and called the Duke of England a little thief, and the corners of her mouth could no longer be suppressed and curved.

Wei Junhang was sensitive to her smile and became even more depressed.

"Laugh if you want to. Anyway, I've lost all the face I deserve and shouldn't." When the muttering of drums echoed around her, Shen Xinyan couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

At this moment, Prince Wei's face completely fell, and he looked at her with a resentful look, hoping that his lady could see his gaze and have a change of heart, so as to quickly comfort his fragile little heart.

Shen Xinyan giggled for a long time with her handkerchief covering her mouth. As soon as she turned around, she met his aggrieved and accusing look. She actually felt guilty for a rare moment, and quickly cleared her cough, trying hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that wanted to curl up again.

"I am very happy today, thank you, Prince!"

Wei Junhang stared at her face closely, not missing any expression on her face. After confirming that what she said was true and not forced at all, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her, feeling very happy in his heart.

Although some mistakes occurred during the process, it was worth the trip as long as I could make my wife happy!

Looking at his silly look, Shen Xinyan couldn't help laughing again.

Amidst her joyful laughter, she suddenly felt that it would be nice if her life could remain like this, as long as the person by her side would always be with her.

After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Shen Xinyan discovered that Fang's attitude towards her had changed. She guessed that maybe Fang felt that she had something on her, so she was so obedient?

As for Fang Birong, the girl from the Fang family, Shen Xinyan had seen her from a distance several times. A few times, Fang Birong noticed her and subconsciously shrank her body. Then she pretended not to see her and walked away quickly with her head down.

The Fang sisters' reaction disappointed Yang, who had been hoping for some fun. But she was unwilling to give up and knocked on Shen Xinyan's side several times. However, Shen Xinyan played dumb and got away with it, so she gave up.

At this time, a major event occurred in the capital. Qi Liuxiu, an editor of the Hanlin Academy, was demoted to an eighth-rank clerk because of a mistake he made on duty. Even worse was that on his way home he was put in a sack and beaten, leaving his face and nose swollen.

Shen Xinlan clenched her hands tightly, trying hard to suppress her shaking body. Qi Liuxiu's screams of pain came from the room, but she felt a chill in her heart.

It was Shen Xinyan, it must be Shen Xinyan, she was giving herself a warning!

Thinking of the harsh words Shen Xinyan said that day, she became more certain of this guess. She gnashed her teeth in hatred, but there was an undisguised fear in her eyes.

When did the suffocating Shen Xinyan become so cruel? Just a warning caused her husband to be demoted and beaten. If she really took action against me, would I still have a way to survive in this world?

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

Qi Liuxiu in the room was in no better situation than her. Although the physical pain had subsided, he still remembered that when he was being beaten, someone whispered cruel words in his ear, saying things like "a toad is wanting to eat swan flesh; a girl from the Marquis's Mansion is not something a mere editor like you can covet" and so on.

His heart started beating rapidly, and he immediately realized the reason, and his face turned even paler.

The couple each had their own hidden agenda. One was afraid that her husband would find out that everything he had suffered today was only because he had offended his elder sister, and the other was afraid that his wife would find out that this was revenge for his seduction of the young lady from the Marquis's Mansion.

As a result, regarding Qi Liuxiu's demotion and beating, the two of them tacitly agreed not to ask or pursue the matter.

Shen Xinyan in the mansion naturally knew about this matter very quickly. It was Lady Liang, the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an, her eldest sister-in-law, who took the opportunity of returning a gift and asked the respected nanny beside her to come and test her attitude and told her.

The nanny was also a smart person. Seeing that she was indifferent after hearing about this matter, she had already formed an idea in her heart, knowing that the second aunt and the third aunt must have quarreled. With the answer, she did not stay for long and went back to report everything to Liang.

Liang tapped the long table lightly, and after hearing this, she curled her lips into a smile: "I understand, you can leave now!"

It's good that it's a mess, it can't be better! Otherwise, she would have to be careful to deal with Shen Xinlan, the bastard. In the past, she saw how Shen Xinyan protected her, and Shen Xinyan's status rose with the tide, so she couldn't help but flatter her. Now Shen Xinlan was courting death and offended her backer, which was a great thing for her!

As for how Shen Xinlan would be treated in her mother's home in the future, Shen Xinyan didn't care at all.

At this moment, she was staring at the Grand Princess with eyes wide open in disbelief, and asked word by word, "Mother, are you sure you are not joking with your daughter-in-law?"

This day has finally arrived!

The eldest princess frowned and said, "Ms. Shen, what is your attitude? Are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?!"

"Yes, I am dissatisfied, very dissatisfied!! Why should others interfere in my son's affairs!" Shen Xinyan's every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. She tried very hard to control her emotions, and repeatedly reminded herself not to offend the Grand Princess.

However, the eldest princess has always been a favored daughter of heaven and has always been accustomed to being obeyed by others. Although Shen Xinyan tried hard to suppress her anger and dissatisfaction, how could the eldest princess not feel it? She immediately said, "I have made up my mind. You don't have to say anything more about this matter. From next month, all matters in Lingge's children's courtyard will be handed over to Fang!"

Shen Xinyan could no longer hold back her resentment, and jumped up from her chair, staring at the Grand Princess, and said through gritted teeth: "Mother is unfair, and the daughter-in-law is not convinced!!"

"How outrageous! Is this the attitude of a daughter-in-law taught by the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion?!" The eldest princess was furious. She slammed the armrest heavily and glared at him.

"No matter what, the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion can't do such a thing as forcibly taking the son of my brother's wife and leaving him in the care of my eldest sister-in-law!" Shen Xinyan was also so angry that her chest heaved rapidly. She ignored the eldest princess's increasingly ugly expression and blurted out all the resentment that had been buried in her heart for two lifetimes.

"I understand that mother just wants Fang to get closer to Lin Ge'er so that he can take care of the eldest house more after he inherits the title. But, why? ! ! Why? ! ! I, Shen Xinyan, have never owed her anything!! Yes, her husband's early death was her misfortune, but why does she act like everyone owes her something? Why does the whole family have to treat her as carefully as if she were porcelain? Now even my own flesh and blood is being taken away by her! ! ! "

"I don't accept it! Mother is so biased and always puts the interests of the eldest son first. If that's the case, why doesn't she just give the position of Crown Prince to Qi Ge'er? Wouldn't that be exactly what she wants!!"

"How dare you! How dare you! I'm rebelling against you, Shen, you're so bold!" The eldest princess was so angry that she was shaking all over and her face turned ashen.

The servants in the room were already frightened by the scene before them, and only reacted when they saw the Grand Princess was extremely angry. Some of them went forward to comfort the Grand Princess, while others held Shen Xinyan and tried to persuade her, fearing that she would say something outrageous again.

But at this moment, Shen Xinyan had already lost her mind. Her mind was filled with scenes of being suppressed by Fang in her previous life and being alienated by Wei Chenglin. She pushed away the maid who came forward to persuade her and angrily accused: "Mother only considers the eldest house. Has she never thought about the future where my biological son will be close to my aunt and alienate my biological mother? It is pitiful that Fang lost her husband, but I was forced to stay away from my own son for no reason. What is my fault?! My mother is so unfair, and I will never accept it even if I die as a daughter-in-law!!"

"I'm so angry, I'm so angry! Someone, come! Drag her out and make her kneel in the Buddhist hall!!!" The eldest princess felt that her authority had been greatly challenged, especially when she met Shen Xinyan's eyes full of resentment. The rage in her heart suddenly burned fiercely. She slammed her palm heavily on the long table and gave an order in a sharp voice.

"Madam, madam, please don't say anymore, madam..." Chun Liu knelt in front of Shen Xinyan, hugged her tightly and begged.

"Your Highness, calm down! Your Highness, calm down!"

"Madam, please say something softly. We can discuss everything..."

…

The servants knelt on the ground, trying to persuade the equally furious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, hoping that these two living ancestors could calm down their anger.

However, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, one hated the other for challenging her authority, and the other resented the other for being unfair, causing the mother and son to become alienated and easily provoked. Neither was willing to give in and both stared at each other.

The eldest princess laughed in anger: "Drag her away, and if anyone tries to persuade her again, beat them to death and throw them out of the house!!"
