“Lian Fang Zhou, you stop right there!” Madam Qiao screamed. She tried to rush forward to grab her but was pulled back by Lian Li.

“Stop!” Lian Li hissed.

Lian Fang Zhou stood still. Turning to Lian Li, she smiled lightly and said: “Uncle is very wise!”

Turning back, this time she really walked away.

“Why are you pulling me!” Madam Qiao gasped, irritated: “It must be a trap she set up! It must be her! That little bitch is so generous to give us orders! Let me say it! It turned out that she was moving her hands and feet behind our backs again! That wicked little bitch!”

“Is what she said true?”

Facing Lian Li’s cold face, it seemed as long as she said ‘yes’, the anger contained in it would burst out overwhelmingly. Guiltily, Madam Qiao turned her eyes aside and said: “What is true or false…”

“Is it true!?” Lian Li shouted angrily: “I should ask you this: what have you done? Hurry up and say it!”

Madam Qiao moved her lips. Originally, she didn’t want to admit it but now he was furious so she hurriedly said a little.

Lian Li had been married to her for most of her life, so of course he knew her character. If she couldn’t escape, what she said would be reserved.

Under his tight pressure, Madam Qiao was forced to confess little by little until she finally said it all without concealment.

Lian Li was trembling with anger. Cursing, he said: “You stupid woman! You really— there are more failures than success!”

So what if he pretended to be sick and was exposed by Lian Fang Zhou? If he insisted that he was a little uncomfortable, who could say no?

At most, other people would just say a few worlds and laugh behind their backs. After a while, who would still remember such a trivial thing?

However, pretending to be sick combined with the behavior of this bitch, it was different.

Then it became a deliberate humiliation of Lian Fang Zhou’s servants. To put it bluntly, they became elders who hated that their nieces and nephews had a good life and were trying to make troubles for them.

Otherwise, why would they ask them to help with their work? They didn’t even give them a bowl of rice, only clear rice porridge! They didn’t let them eat, scolded them badly, and forced them to work hungry!

“How could you do it! What kind of idiot are you!” Lian Li stomped, furious.

He stared at Madam Qiao and the longer he looked at her, the more unpleasant she became. He thought: I’m so smart, if it wasn’t for this stupid woman holding him back, he and Lian Fang Zhou would not have come to this point! It was all this stupid woman’s fault!”

But it happened that he couldn’t do many things alone, a lot of the work had to be done by this bitch.

Such a useless wife, she always failed!

A thought flashed past for a heartbeat before he became helpless again.

Don’t say that it was not kind to divorce his wife when he was old or that divorcing his wife was this unreasonable matter was a joke. Ah Hai was the son of his wife and he was so prosperous, he had to give in to a bit of what his son said. How could he let him divorce his mother?

Besides, if it was know that his mother was bad enough to be divorced, who could say that his son’s future would not also be affected?

Lian Li suddenly felt extremely desperate and powerless!

That’s it! He would just live his own life from now on and not provoke the second branch! This stupid woman had no hope of changing her temperament in this life. She wouldn’t be able to put on a show for other’s to talk and joke about if she stayed away from the second branch.

If you don’t see it, you can treat it as if you didn’t see the wealth of the second branch! Anyways, as long as their son was successful in a few years, who would have the better life was still uncertain!

Lian Li took a few deep breaths, feeling a little better in his hear. Even Madam Qiao did not seem as annoying anymore.

Madam Qiao did not know that countless thoughts had been rushing through his mind while they were standing there and she was still cursing indignantly.

When Lian Li looked over, she suddenly shouted ‘ah’ and grit her teeth. “I know! That bowl of porridge was deliberately splashed by that damn slave! That bastard must have been ordered by that little bitch to frame me!”

She raised her head to look at him but didn’t notice the strange look on her husband’s face. She was immersed in her anger and said bitterly” “It was that bitch who framed me before and she framed me again! Let’s go find her! Go! I want to ask her face to face! I will have justice!”

If you looked at how smug Madam Qiao had been at noon, that was how annoyed she was at the moment. That bitch had been calculating her from the beginning! A bad stomach was not safe or kind!

“Shut up!” Lian Li glared at her, hating iron for not being steel. He sneered: “You said she calculated against you? Yes, she calculated against you! You are so stupid, I’m surprised that she bothered! I’m stupid too! I knew what you were like, but I thought you could change and succeed! Bah!”

“You, what are you talking about?” Madam Qiao was both angry and aggrieved. She opened her eyes wide and snapped: “You know that that bitch was calculating against me but still talk so coldly? You, you—”

Lian Li shouted: “You still have the face to say that? If you didn’t need to stir up trouble, you could have delivered the food and came straight back! How would she have been able to calculate against you then? Think for yourself!”

Lian Li was so angry he was panting.

However, he didn’t want to think about the main point. If the couple had really acted as they should and didn’t play tricks and scheme against them, wouldn’t their relationship be like Aunt Zhang and the others? They were exceptionally good to Lian Fang Zhou’s family. Or they could be like Zhang Li Zheng, so impartial and upright! The relationship between the two families would not have broken to the point it was now!

Maybe Lian Fang Zhou would have already taken the initiative to ask them for help and the two families could have worked together to live prosperous and affectional lives.

The fact was that Lian Fang Zhou and her siblings had reached this point after being forced by the step by step.

Why didn’t they expect that their family elders would stand up and take charge at critical moments?

Because the difference between the elders in this family and other families was big!

Madam Qiao’s mouth opened, speechless.

Yes, if she had cooked honestly, brought over the vegetables and rice, and didn’t scold them when they dropped a bowl, wouldn’t it have been better?

The answer was yes.

But…

Madam Qiao still yelled angrily: “It’s just two slaves, so what! Do they deserve white rice and bacon? It’s good enough to have porridge! They’re obviously low class, they can’t live like nobles! Daring to drop a bowl in front of me, can’t I make myself feel better by scolding a few words? They deserve it!”

“You—!” Lian Li felt a sense of powerlessness in vain. His wife, instead of regretting her mistakes, felt even more righteous and wronged.

What else could he say? What else could he do? No matter what he said, it was all in vain!
