Immediately, two elderly women of the same generation as Madam Pei slammed their fists on the table and angrily cursed.
"What's going on with the Jiang family? How could they raise a woman like this?"
"Does she even know any manners? She can write poetry, can't she? Is this all the most talented woman in the capital is like?"
"Could this talented woman have plagiarized her work?"
"What a disgrace! No wonder she's already hooking up with men before she's even married..."
"What's going on? Is she having an affair with a man?" a clan lady asked in surprise, unaware of the truth.
"It's my uncle's nephew. I heard that there were rumors about them even before they got married. Later, my uncle's nephew married a woman from a prominent family. I thought it was just a rumor. But I didn't expect that he would go to the Jiang family to propose marriage on the very day the woman from the prominent family died."
"What! My nephew actually did such a thing?"
"Poor thing, that noble lady died this morning, but my uncle and nephew couldn't wait a day and went to propose marriage at noon."
"Then the noblewoman's family must be furious."
"Of course! She was so angry that she took all the dowry back, and the aunt kept trying to cover it up. Actually, it had already spread throughout the capital..."
The aunt rolled her eyes and saw that she was about to faint again, so an old lady from the clan pinched her without any mercy.
"Ah!" the aunt cried out in pain, regaining consciousness.
The old woman looked at her with a cold gaze.
"Speak up, why is your daughter-in-law acting like this?"
"Is this how you taught her?"
Two lines of tears streamed down the lady's face.
"Aunt, I'm innocent..."
"I didn't want her to come in at all, but she just wouldn't let me in..."
"Besides, I can't teach her even if I want to, she won't listen to me at all..."
"Don't laugh at me, aunts, sisters-in-law, and brothers and sisters-in-law, but she's been married into the family for almost half a month, and I haven't even had a sip of her 'daughter-in-law tea' yet..."
The aunt cried and sobbed.
She is extremely concerned about her image and wants both.
She believed in keeping family scandals private and wouldn't normally say a word about it.
But Jiang Yao's appearance was too much of a shock to her. The clan ladies all looked down on her with disdain, and the clan elder also demanded that she answer.
If she doesn't tell the truth, the clan elder might blame her.
Why should she risk her reputation for that vile woman?
She was just a mother-in-law who was bullied by her wicked daughter-in-law!
"Heaven have mercy! Even if you don't interrogate me, Aunt, I still beg you to do justice for me."
"This slut has Lingyu under her thumb every day, and she's completely infatuated with her."
“She says east, and Lingyu dares not go west. I have no way to deal with her…”
"Please, Aunt, please, Grandma, do me justice!"
As she spoke, Madam Bo knelt down before the old lady of the Chao clan and Madam Pei.
Her tears were genuine, yet a glint of shrewdness shone in her eyes.
That shameless woman really lost face today; she was so angry she almost fainted.
But if this leads to the old lady of the clan divorcing the slut, then a bad thing can turn into a good thing.
Even if her son asks about it later, she can always clear herself of any wrongdoing...
The aunt's eyes were full of calculation.
The old lady was indeed very angry.
"How dare she! A new bride enters the family and doesn't know how to be filial to her mother-in-law. It's simply outrageous!"
"Bring her closer."
Immediately, two old women with fierce faces grabbed Jiang Yao, wanting to take her to the clan elder for trial.
At this moment, Jiang Yao finally realized what was happening.
She finally realized that her outfit had not only failed to outshine everyone else, but had the opposite effect.
In the eyes of the women of the clan, she is now like a clown.
The aunt took the opportunity to kick her while she was down and filed a complaint against her.
But……
How could that be...
She was dressed in such luxurious and opulent clothes, how could she look like a clown...?
Jiang Yao was pushed forward by the old woman, her eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.
It wasn't until the old woman forced her to kneel before the clan elder and Madam Pei that she regained her senses a little.
"Please, old lady, clan elder, do me justice and let me divorce this wife..."
Jiang Yao's blood surged, and she wished she could scratch the old witch to death.
But the most important thing right now is to cry out for justice.
"Grandma, you are wise! Grandma, you are wise! Your granddaughter-in-law has never bullied you. It is you who has always refused to acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law."
"My daughter-in-law offered me tea, but she wouldn't drink it. Today at the clan banquet, my daughter-in-law wanted to ask my mother for some money to buy some decent hairpins, jewelry, and clothes, but my mother wouldn't give her a single penny..."
Her grievances were genuine.
In her previous life, Madam Bo treated Jiang Shuwan so well, giving her control of the household and not requiring her to follow any rules.
But she changed her tune completely.
Why? Why?!
She's so angry!
"Well, you shameless hussy, you've actually twisted the truth..."
Once Madam Bo had made up her mind to take the opportunity to divorce Jiang Yao, how could she let her turn the tables? She immediately began to defend herself again.
So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law told everyone what had happened in the house.
What about mothers-in-law hitting their daughters-in-law on the first day of marriage, and daughters-in-law staying out until dark after visiting their parents' home?
What about the mother-in-law yelling at people outside the yard every day, the daughter-in-law faking illness, the mother-in-law faking illness, and them fighting and tearing each other apart...?
The ladies were stunned, especially the unmarried young ladies in the house.
Their first marriage was so terrifying, and the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship could turn out like this...
They were like mortal enemies, attacking each other and wishing they could kill each other.
They've only been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for half a month!
"You wicked daughter-in-law..."
"You're the wicked mother-in-law..."
"I'll tear your mouth apart..."
