Madam Feng had retracted her usual gentle temper. Amidst her oppressive aura, Old Lady Shen's heart beat wildly. When she spoke, her tone of voice could not help but weaken by three points. "Eldest Boss's daughter-in-law is referring to that confession?"
He then realized that he had revealed his cowardice, and quickly put on a stern face, "I was just about to send someone to ask you, what do you mean by that? "Also, where's that slut now?"
Madam Feng's lips curved into a smile, as she said leisurely: "I also sent a gift to the Cui Family, what do you think I should do?"
Cui, Cui Family?
Old Madam Shen's brain buzzed and she was speechless with her mouth wide open.
When the Cui Family visited her frequently, she felt it was strange. She sent people to check if there was any unusual activity, and found out that people outside were all saying that the Feng Family was not virtuous.
She didn't need her brain to know that this matter had nothing to do with the Cui Family.
At first, she felt uneasy, afraid that Mrs. Feng would come looking for trouble. Unexpectedly, Madam Feng was quiet. She also didn't pay much attention to this matter. The rumors outside had already spread for two or three days, and she had only instructed the people around her to keep their mouths shut.
But now … So the Feng family came to settle the score.
Old Mrs. Shen snapped back to reality as she spoke in alarm, "Madam Feng, what are you trying to do? Aunt Cui has already gone to the manor. What else do you want?"
When Lady Feng heard this, she chuckled. She looked at Old Lady Shen with eyes full of disdain, "What do I want to do? Why don't you ask the Cui Family what they want to do? I have already given Aunt Cui a chance to live, and they still want to bully me again. Could it be that you all feel that it is easy to bully me without the support of others? "
Old Madam Shen was extremely uncomfortable under Madam Feng's gaze. The anger in her heart could not help but rise to ten points, but it was washed away by the Feng's last sentence.
There was no one behind her, so how could she be so easily bullied?
No one was bullied as to who it was.
Thinking of her son's career as a government official, Old Madam Shen felt a chill down her spine as she recalled everything her son had done in the past.
How would their Shen family dare to bully the Feng family!
It was just that over the years, the Feng family never mentioned their families. They were already used to it, as if the Feng family didn't exist. Now that he mentioned it, Old Madam Shen finally realized how amazing this daughter-in-law was.
"Eldest Wife …" Old Lady Shen instantly became like a frosted eggplant, powerless to lean against the pillow and say, "Maybe someone intentionally did this …"
What?
Was it specifically meant to sow discord between her and the Cui Family?
Madam Feng folded her hands in her sleeves as she quietly listened to Old Lady Shen trying to refute her. However, Old Madam Shen was so guilty that she couldn't refute her own words. Her lips moved, and she couldn't utter another word.
Just as Old Madam Shen was unable to explain herself, a ruckus sounded out from outside the courtyard.
Old Mrs. Shen did not even have the chance to ask what was going on when the bamboo curtain was lifted and a furious curse resounded in the room, "Little sister-in-law, is your eldest son's wife going to rebel? You used a lousy confession to try and ruin my son's reputation. Did she not harm my son enough? Such a shrew, what is your Shen family planning to do with her?! "
Grandma Cui, who was wearing a blue blouse that hid ten thousand words, was extremely angry. The golden foot on her head swayed non-stop as she moved.
Silence reigned in the room.
At this moment, Grandma Cui also noticed that something was amiss. She looked over and saw Madam Feng, who she had called a naughty woman, standing in the middle of the hall.
Madam Feng was calm and composed, as if she wasn't the one being scolded at all. With a slight smile, she turned her head to look at Grandma Cui. Inexplicably, Grandma Cui's heart tightened when she saw this. There were still a few more curses stuck in her throat, causing her face to flush red.
"I finally got to see it. A good confession is actually a fraud." If not, I will take my statement and my witness and we will go to the court together. "Whether it's true or not, the people at the yamen will find out once they investigate it."
Madam Feng smiled at Grandma Cui again, giving her some slow and unhurried advice.
However, she couldn't show her face in front of a junior. She held her head up and said, "We'll face the court in court and let everyone see how you, a wicked woman, treat my son!"
"Eldest Sister-in-Law!" Old Madam Shen was so infuriated by this senseless act that she stood up and hurriedly stopped her from speaking any further.
Not to mention, Madam Feng's previous attitude toward this matter was to throw it aside. If she went to court because of this matter, wouldn't it be embarrassing if it were the Shen and Cui Family?
Her son was a father and mother official of the First Prefecture, but his wife and concubines had caused a ruckus in the court. What were they planning to do with him?
Moreover, once this matter was brought to court, would her son dare to help his concubine out of love for his concubine? A mere spoiled concubine would destroy his career. Was it possible to go to this court?
Old Madam Shen was not yet muddle-headed, how could she not know about this?
Old Lady Cui was stopped, but she soon realized that what she said was incorrect. She realized that the current situation was not one that she could take advantage of.
Her daughter was born, how could she not know of her daughter's methods? The confession was most likely real, and she choked for a moment.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, your family's affairs are not to be spread. If this happens in the court, then we, women, will also be criticized." Old Madam Shen saw that her sister-in-law wasn't stupid enough to shut her mouth, so she hurriedly spoke softly, wanting to make sense of the situation.
However, Madam Feng did not want to do this. She raised her chin and gave two choices, "This matter has already tarnished my reputation. I will definitely wash away the grievances for myself. "Either your Cui Family publicly apologizes to me, or, Chui Corps will return to your Cui Family!"
Although there were two choices, none of them could be chosen.
Choosing the first one would mean that the Cui Family had extended their influence too far. They had actually framed another family's wife together with their daughter. Once the family reputation was destroyed, that would be the end of the family. Choosing the second choice, rumor would destroy itself. If Chui Corps became an abandoned wife, then it would be no different from taking her life.
"Good …" "So vicious!" Grandma Cui understood the pros and cons of the situation, and she was so angry that her vision turned black.
Old Madam Shen also felt a headache coming on. Madam Feng would definitely not let this matter rest. What wrong tendons did Grandma Cui have to do something like this? Now that she was being held captive, wasn't this equivalent to pushing Cui Shi into a fire pit?
Old Lady Shen scolded this foolish sister-in-law in her heart. She glanced at Lady Feng, who was waiting for her reply.
At this time, Lady Feng faintly smiled, rolled up her wide sleeves and softly said, "Two old ladies, please discuss this properly. I will wait for news of you two before sunset." With that, he turned around and left, leaving his back view for everyone.
"This cunning woman! "Wicked woman!" When Grandma Cui heard that there was still a deadline, she was so angry that she fell backwards, clutching her chest and leaning into the girl's arms.
Old Madam Shen stared blankly at the swaying pearl curtain. The piercing sunlight would occasionally shine in, causing her to close her eyes. She didn't know how this matter would end.
