“””Lu Family’s villa.

Old Madam sat on the sofa in the living room, interrogating her son and daughter-in-law, “Who permitted you to hit Qiao Yin? Her grandmother saved my life. Are we going to not only chase her out of the Lu Family home, but also whip her till she’s a bloody mess? If this happened to get out, how would the Lu Family stand? Is this how we return a favor?”

Lu Mingzhen also felt that what happened today was really degrading, but he didn’t want to escalate the situation.

Avoiding the main issue, he said, “Qiao Yin was disrespectful to Suhe today. Suhe, in a fit of rage, had someone hit her. It won’t happen again. I’ve already talked to her about it.”

Madam Lu sat aside, her eyes swollen like peaches.

She hated Qiao Yin with all of her heart now. After hitting her just a few times, her son, husband, and mother-in-law took turns lecturing her. In this household, who was the real lady of the house?

She was not convinced and her tone was not kind: “Old Madam indeed loves Qiao Yin the most. She’s just an outsider. Is it necessary for you to reprimand us at this late hour? You didn’t even care so deeply for your own granddaughter. People who didn’t know better would think Qiao Yin is your biological daughter!”

Old Madam was furious: “What are you talking about?!”

But Madam Lu was not scared of her. After quarrelling with her mother-in-law for nearly thirty years, she always won.

Later, Old Madam was even forced to move out of this ancestral home. Madam Lu was the ultimate winner.

She thought, this time would be the same.

“Old Madam is a person who knows gratitude, we all know that. But this gratitude should have a limit, shouldn’t it? Qiao Yin has no family background, no good conduct. It was a disgrace for Lingche to marry her. Lingche didn’t like her at all. If you hadn’t insisted on Lingche marrying her, would things have become like this?”

Old Madam was so angry, she couldn’t say a word: “Are you saying that it was my fault that Qiao Yin is in this situation?”

“Oh dear, I didn’t say that,”

Madam Lu immediately presented a respectful face: “Old Madam, don’t be angry, whatever you say is right. As your daughter-in-law, I’ve always respected you, unlike Qiao Yin, who always insults me, causing my high blood pressure to flare.”

Old Madam had long gotten used to her insincere flattery. She looked at her son with disappointment written all over her face: “Is this the woman you were so insistent on marrying and bringing home? You hit your daughter-in-law to the point of injuries without any signs of remorse, and even dared to confront me here. You are without talent or virtue, and you are the Lu Family’s misfortune!”

Madam Lu was stunned as she looked at her, then burst into tears: “How can Old Madam say this about me? I have managed the Lu Family home for so many years. Even if I haven’t made significant contributions, I have worked hard. All I did was hit an insolent child. Do you really need to degrade me like this?”

Lu Mingzhen also frowned: “Mom, it was already chaotic enough. What are you trying to do now? Are you trying to create unrest at home in the middle of the night?”

“The one who created unrest at home is her!”

Old Madam finished saying and called in the butler and bodyguards, “Where’s the whip that was used to hit Qiao Yin? Bring it to me!”

Madam Lu was taken aback: “What do you need the whip for?”

The butler had already handed over the whip: “Old Madam, this is it.”

“Where is the person who hit Qiao Yin? Bring her to me too!”

Immediately, two maids were pushed into the room by the bodyguards.

Old Madam gave them a cold look, and ordered, “Since someone has created a precedent, I too will teach a lesson to the daughter-in-law who disrespected me! Beat her!”

Madam Lu was instantly shocked, and tried to hide behind Lu Mingzhen: “Mingzhen, Old Madam has gone mad! She wants to hit me!”

Lu Mingzhen was also taken aback: “Mom, Suhe is your daughter-in-law, and currently the matriarch of the first branch of Lu Family. How can you hit her?”

“Oh, so she can hit her daughter-in-law and I can’t? Is Qiao Yin’s life worthless?”

“They are not the same! Suhe has been filial and bear children for the Lu Family. You can’t compare her to Qiao Yin!”

“She’s filial to me? That’s the joke of the century!”
