Just at this moment, Lin Fu's question came from above: "What are you doing here!"

Shen Qinghe retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Fu, who was sitting on the couch with a spoiled and angry look on her face. His already uncomfortable mood became even more unhappy. He pursed his lips, frowned slightly, suppressed his anger, and said softly: "Fuer, I'm here to take you home."

Lin Wan looked at the changing emotions on his face, lowered her head and smiled, picked up the tea and took a sip, then started watching the show.

Sure enough, Lin Fu didn't notice Shen Qinghe's mood at all. She just felt that she had suffered a lot of injustice when she was in the Shen family, and Shen Qinghe didn't help her at all. Now in her mother's house, she finally had the upper hand over him, and she must maintain her own face. She said in a hard voice: "Go back? Why should I go back to that shabby home with you? You don't even want to burn charcoal. You just want to freeze me to death!"

Lin Wan calmly put down the tea bowl in her hand, lowered her head and didn't look at Shen Qinghe's expression. She just wanted to laugh. Lin Fu had been married for so long, and she didn't understand Shen Qinghe's sensitivity, thoughtfulness and face-saving at all.

Saying such things in front of so many people today would probably offend Shen Qinghe.

Sure enough, when Shen Qinghe heard Lin Fu's words, his face instantly turned cold and he stared at Lin Fu without saying a word.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had become tense, Wang, who was standing nearby, quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Fuer, how can you talk like that? Hurry up and apologize to your husband." Wang patted Lin Fu's hand lightly, saying words of blame while still winking at her desperately.

Lin Fu, on the other hand, didn't accept her kindness at all. She brushed her hand away and snorted, "You wishful thinking. Why should I apologize to him? The Shen family is poor and stingy, and they are afraid of what others say. I am pregnant with his flesh and blood, and the charcoal I use was sent by you. The Shen family has done everything, what face do they still want!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking! The Shen family is the Shen family, and son-in-law is son-in-law! Think about how devoted you are to son-in-law. Wouldn't you still be thinking about him every day after you go home? Take son-in-law to your room to have some rest!" Wang saw that she was going further and further, so she quickly gave her a way out.

Shen Qinghe's face was completely dark at this time. Seeing that Lin Fu was still sitting on the couch angrily and ignoring him, not moving at all, he suppressed his anger and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Why are you replying? Just say it here, in front of my family!"

"Are you sure you want this?"

"Yes!" Lin Fu felt a little timid when she saw Shen Qinghe's face, but she thought that if she didn't control him well in the Lin family, she would have no face left, so she said, "I won't go back if you don't explain clearly!"

In fact, for most people, when the couple is still in the newlywed period and the wife is pregnant, the husband has to give in no matter how hard he tries, whether by coaxing or persuading her or making a promise in front of her family, he has to do everything to save her face.

But Shen Qinghe is not an ordinary person.

Compared to Lin Fu, his wife who made him dissatisfied in every way, and her unborn child, Shen Qinghe cared more about his reputation in the Lin family. Especially since there were not only Lin Fu and Wang in the house, but also Lin Wan, the younger sister who married into the Marquis's mansion, and several other relatives.

"If you don't want to leave, then stay here." Shen Qinghe glanced at Lin Fu coldly, bowed to Wang, turned around and was about to walk out.

He married Lin Fu because he hoped that she, the legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official, would have some ability and that the Lin family would be able to help him. But since the marriage, the Lin family has not provided him with any help, and Lin Fu's sister who married into the Marquis's Mansion has not helped him at all in his spring examination. And Lin Fu herself has no ability, and her performance in the Shen family can be said to be a mess.

Today, Lin Fu humiliated him in front of so many people, and now he doesn't want to see her at all.

Just forget about going back!

Seeing that he didn't say a single soft word, Lin Fu actually turned around and left. He didn't care about her feelings at all, and she immediately became anxious. She stood up from the couch, stretched out her hand and wanted to say something, but she saw him lift the curtain and leave without looking back.

Instantly, her tears burst out, she clenched her fists tightly, and cursed at the door: "Humph! Sooner or later you will come back and beg me to go back!"

Everyone in the room was watching this farce in silence. Lin Wan had seen enough of the drama, and seeing that Wang was no longer in the mood to deal with her, she stood up and said, "Mother, I have something else to do at home, so I'll go back first."

Aunt Lin also stood up with Liu Ping and Liu Qian and made up an excuse to leave.

Wang politely asked, "It's almost time for dinner, please stay and have dinner together."

"No, come back for dinner next time when you have time." Lin Wan refused and went out with her people.

After everyone left, Wang sighed and looked at Lin Fu, who was crying silently, "Fu'er, you...ah, you just now in front of so many people, how could you be so disrespectful to your son-in-law!"

"I didn't say anything wrong. I've wronged their family and they can't complain." Lin Fu said unconvincedly, "Who knew Shen Qinghe would be such a person! I really misjudged him."

The more Lin Fu thought about it, the angrier she became. Shen Qinghe hadn't passed the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official yet. If she didn't catch him now, she would have to be suppressed by him forever.

It was obvious that in the previous life, in front of the Lin family, Shen Qinghe was always obedient to Lin Wan, but how come he actually openly rejected her in front of her!

"Alas, men all care about their reputation. If you don't give him face in front of outsiders, he will of course be angry."

"I married him to give him a lot of face, he got the advantage and still wants to act cute!"

"Tell me, if you knew that marrying him was a downgrade, why did you rush to marry him?" Wang was speechless. "Look at that Master Lu, he takes good care of Wan'er. The life in the Marquis' Mansion is more than a hundred times better than that of the Shen family. I specially arranged your marriage to the Marquis' Mansion because I wanted you to live a good life."

"You insist that Shen Qinghe is a good and promising person, better than the son of a marquis. But look at the life you are living now, alas..."

Wang felt really tired. For her sister who passed away early, she treated Lin Fu much better than Lin Wan. She always thought of Lin Fu first. She even pretended not to know when Lin Wan was wronged. As a result, Lin Fu's life was in a mess, while Lin Wan's life was getting better and better. Wang couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong from the beginning. She shouldn't have spoiled Lin Fu like that, which led to her being paranoid and arrogant now.

"Hehe, do you think Lin Wan has a good life? Lu Tingxu is a playboy. Without Ye Shiyue, he still has this woman and that woman. Anyway, he will not stay with Lin Wan alone." Lin Fu sneered.

She was puzzled by the changes in Lu Tingxu's life, especially the fact that Ye Shiyue, who had been entangled with him all his life, disappeared quietly. But the person was still the same person. Even if Lu Tingxu loved Ye Shiyue deeply in his previous life, he still had many concubines. Now that this one was gone, there were still other women!

Wang Shi saw her stubbornness and sighed, "Fuer, you can't just rely on a man to live your life after marriage. No matter how many concubines he has, Lu Tingxu has given her all the dignity that a legal wife should have. Moreover, Wan'er is now the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. She has the power in her hands. No matter how many concubines Lu Tingxu has, she is in charge."

"When Shen Qinghe becomes successful, my life will be better than Lin Wan's!"

Wang looked at Lin Fu's paranoid look and began to doubt herself again, wondering if there was really something wrong with her education.
