When Liu saw that Marquis Wu'an actually interceded for Chen Nian and Xia Tian, she knew that it was useless to say anything more, and it might even make the Marquis doubt her intentions, so she shut up tactfully.
Although Shen Nian was not punished, making that wild girl kneel in the ancestral hall for three days was still a way to vent his anger.
What a pity, she was happy too early. Is Xia Tian the kind of person who is easily taken advantage of?
How can you kneel alone in the ancestral hall? That would be so lonely!
Xia Tian stood up, straightened his clothes, and began to complain to Marquis Wu'an, "Dad, every time Princess Yunying gives me trouble, it's because of my third sister. You have to make a decision for your daughter-in-law!"
"Lan'er?" Wu'an Hou asked doubtfully, "What happened to her?"
"Yes, Dad. You said that if my third sister doesn't like me, I don't like her either. Although I am sad, we are a family after all. My sister-in-law is ignorant, and I can't argue with her directly.
But the third sister couldn't gossip about her daughter-in-law in front of outsiders, right? She could just say bad things, the daughter-in-law had tolerated it, but she couldn't instigate outsiders to bully her daughter-in-law, could she?
"Does she still regard the Marquis' Mansion as her own home? Does she still take her elder brother seriously? Does she still take the reputation of the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion seriously?" Xia Tian complained with tears in her eyes.
Chen Lan was enjoying the show at first, but she didn't expect Xia Tian to directly report her. She was immediately furious, "You wild girl, what are you talking about? When did I let outsiders bully you?" She was so angry that she was about to die. He actually dared to tell lies in public.
"That's right, kid, how can you just throw dirty water on Lan'er? If this gets out, how can Lan'er live her life?" When Liu saw that Xia Tian was going to drag Chen Lan into the water, she interrupted anxiously, wondering why he was involving her own daughter.
Although I don’t know what Xia Tian meant by saying this, I absolutely cannot let Chen Lan be involved in this matter.
"Father, your daughter-in-law wouldn't dare to throw dirty water on your third sister. She was the one who told Princess Yunying that you all don't like me and want to kick me out, but I'm the one who refuses to leave.
You didn't acknowledge my identity, saying you could let Princess Yunying bully you as much as she wanted, even if it meant killing her, because the Marquis of Wu'an wouldn't stand up for me anyway." Xia Tian began to sob as he spoke, looking like he had suffered a great injustice.
"Isn't this true?" Shen Lan angrily threw her handkerchief and said disdainfully, "Are you very popular at home? Do you think we are willing to pay attention to you?"
Shen Nian looked at Shen Lan coldly, “Shen Lan, that’s your sister-in-law!”
"Dad, look, my third sister has admitted it." Xia Tian added.
"What did I admit? You dead girl, you are looking for a beating, right?" Shen Lan was so angry that she was no longer afraid of Shen Nian's threats. She was about to pounce on him and hit him.
"Dad, look, my third sister is right about what I said, and she's going to hit me." Xia Tian pretended to be scared and moved closer to Shen Nian.
"Xia, what did Lan'er admit? Don't slander her casually." Seeing Xia Tian grabbing Chen Lan, Liu was also very angry. She could no longer maintain the gentle expression on her face and scolded in a harsh tone.
"Dad, look, even mother is partial to my third sister. Mother is the mistress of the household. Although my daughter-in-law is not my biological daughter-in-law, she has never been lazy when paying her respects every morning. Even though my third sister is my biological daughter, you can't say black is white, right?"
Xia Tian ignored what Liu and the others said, and just cried to Marquis Wu'an. She didn't believe that she couldn't cure Chen Lan's illness today.
Let her be out there all day long ruining her reputation.
"Father, I know mother doesn't like me, but mother can't instigate Shen Lan to be disrespectful to sister-in-law, right?" Shen Nian understood what Xia Tian meant, and despite the disgust of calling Liu mother, he spoke up to help.
Marquis Wu'an's face was now as dark as it could be, and he shouted directly at Shen Lan, "Shen Lan, they say that family disgrace should not be made public, yet you actually teamed up with outsiders to bully your own family. Are you trying to disgrace the Marquis's mansion?"
"Father, I really didn't do anything. It was that wild girl who slandered me." Shen Lan knelt in front of Marquis Wu'an and said angrily.
"You rebellious girl, is this what your mother taught you? Did she teach you to disrespect your sister-in-law and address her like that?"
Wu Anhou slammed the table in anger and stood up, pointing at Chen Ke and said, "Go and get me the family rules. Today I will personally teach this rebellious girl how to behave."
Seeing that Marquis Wu'an was truly enraged, Liu quickly hugged his arm and pleaded, "My Lord, Lan'er is a girl. How can you use family rules against her? If outsiders knew about this, how could I face them?"
"How dare you say that? Wasn't it you who taught her to become what she is today?" Marquis Wu'an yelled at Liu again.
"My Lord, how could you wrongly accuse me like this?" Liu let go of Marquis Wu'an's arm, looking aggrieved.
Chen Ke stood there without moving. Not everyone could bear the family rules. He didn't dare to take it. If he really beat his sister, his mother would not forgive him.
Seeing that her father was really angry, Shen Lan didn't dare to argue anymore. She cried and asked the old lady for help, "Grandma, please save Lan'er. My father wants to beat me to death."
Seeing that Xia Tian had turned a good situation into a mess with just a few words, the old lady also became angry and said, "My Lord, don't listen to this wild girl's slander and teach Lan'er a lesson. As a father, don't you know what kind of person Lan'er is?"
"Regardless of whether what Xia said is true or not, mother, listen to what Shen Lan said just now. Is that how a junior addresses his elder sister-in-law? What about her upbringing?" Seeing that the old lady actually defended Shen Lan, Wu Anhou became even more angry and spoke bluntly, "Mother, please don't interfere. I must teach this girl a lesson today."
