"Zhenyi, I'm glad that you are back to your rightful place. I don't blame you for abandoning your duties when I'm the one to blame," Long Shaoming said, shocking everyone including Zhenyi. "I promised your father that I would protect you at all costs. We failed to protect you from that unfortunate accident which happened two months ago. I deeply apologize for that."
To say Zhenyi was touched would be a lie.
[Roleplaying the ideal daughter-in-law began…]
Still, she maintained the expression that she was deeply touched by her father-in-law's heartfelt apology. He could go to hell for all she cared!
"Father-in-law, it was not your fault. Stop beating yourself for something which was not your fault in the first place," Zhenyi said to him genuinely. Oh, she meant, faking genuinely.
Long Shaoming nodded. "You're a Long now. Keeping you safe is our duty. Welcome to the family, Zhenyi. I didn't get to say it before, so I'm saying it now. You are Long Jie's wife. So, your role in society and the family is higher than anyone else. If you need anyone to do something, you have to order them. No one will say no to you as long as it doesn't hurt any family member."
To say Xin Zhenyi was the most powerful woman in the whole country wouldn't be wrong. She had three major families supporting her -- Xin family, Long family and the Tang family.
'Too bad, I was thinking of unloading my gun in your wife's head, father-in-law.' She said in her head while maintaining a gentle smile on her face.

"Wow! What an interesting family I've got!" Grandma Mian said sarcastically. "Father-in-law is apologizing to daughter-in-law for getting her hurt when it was not even his fault in the first place, and the mother-in-law is leaving no chance of hurting the same daughter-in-law."
If Song Lily thought Grandma Mian would leave her for hitting her precious Zhenyi, she has another thing waiting for her.
'Song Lily, you have so many debts to repay me. I was alone in the past. I couldn't stand against the injustice that you have done to my family. I will give you as much pain as you have inflicted on my Ah-Shaan. He died yearning for one thing he loved the most. I will make you yearn for everything that you hold dear to you. It's time, Song Lily. Pay your debt.'
"What are you talking about, mom?" Long Shaoming asked with a frown, though in his heart, he knew that his wife must have done something to hurt Zhenyi. Her hate for Zhenyi was not hidden from him.
Right now, Zhenyi was enjoying the special delicacies that the chef had prepared for breakfast. Everything cooked was according to her taste and presence. She liked spicy food even though it was difficult for her to digest it. She didn't even look up from the plate when Grandma Mian snitched on Song Lily.
Her dear mother-in-law deserved it. End of the story.
"Yesterday, your wife crossed every limit. She slapped Zhenyi in front of everyone just because Zhenyi didn't like the decoration she had done for Long Jie's room," Grandma Mian said directly. As usual, she spoke her mind without caring about her so-called aristocratic manners. She was sharp and unapologetic. Also, she hated pretentious women like Song Lily who despite their noble origins were not noble at their hearts."Tell me Shaoming does my precious granddaughter-in-law have no right to decorate the room where she will be residing for all of her life according to her taste? She found the paintings offensive in that room and so she removed them. Is it too big of a crime in your wife's eye that she slapped Zhenyi, the new mistress of the house in front of everyone? Was it not being disrespectful? What will you say to Long Jie when he comes back only to find that your wife is physically abusive to his wife? He already didn't want to share the same roof with us, do you think he would let his wife breathe the same air you all do?"
Zhenyi, who was swallowing the soup down her throat, had a dire urge to clap for Grandma Mian's mind-blowing accusations.
Long Shaoming flinched at everything his mother had said. He didn't even know how to look straight into Zhenyi's eyes. She hadn't retaliated; it only meant that she wanted him to provide her justice. She was testing him on whether she should trust him or not.
What else could he expect from Tang Reine's offspring? Both were too smart for their own good.
Well, there was nothing wrong with it. One couldn't and shouldn't trust anyone blindly. But he didn't know what to do with Song Lily. He had been turning a blind eye to everything she had done till now. However, it seemed like now he had to teach her a lesson that she would never forget.
"Pack your bags, Lily. I'm sending you to the Song family," Long Shaoming told his wife. If there was something Song Lily despised with every fiber of her being, it was distancing herself from the Long family.
"What do you mean, Shaoming?" Song Lily was too shocked to move. He wouldn't throw her out of her own home, would he? No. No. She would never let him do anything like this ever.
"It means you will stay with your parents until you reflect on your mistake. I can't hit you to put some sense into your brain, so I'm sending you back to your parents to learn the manner they apparently forgot to give you," Long Shaoming said with an exasperated sigh.
