Xu narrowed her narrow eyes and spoke harshly from her thin lips, "There are no outsiders here, why do you have to act so pretentiously, Third Sister-in-law? You and I will always be together as sisters-in-law in the future, so why not be honest?"

Shen Yiran's eyes narrowed slightly, and a few patches of dark blue could be vaguely seen through the flowers beside the low wall.

"I don't understand what you said, sister-in-law. Since I'm married to the Marquis, I should love the two children and treat them well. As a mother, do I have to abuse the two children to be honest?"

The two children didn't seem to like Xu and even looked a little scared.

Ji Sicheng protected his sister behind him, looked at Xu vigilantly, and held his sister's hand, which was also trembling slightly.

Shen Yiran took a look and felt a little distressed. He moved a step to the left and blocked the two children behind him.

"The two children are shy and it's getting late. If you don't have any other instructions, I will take the children back to rest."

Xu's face froze. These two little brats had been in the mansion for several years. Even if they were shy, they wouldn't have recognized her.

It seems that Shen Yiran, the descendant of Qingliu, is actually a sharp-tongued person.

Having failed to gain an advantage, Xu snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law, you don't think this Marquis' Mansion is a good place to go, do you? Don't blame me as your sister-in-law for not reminding you, your Yishi husband..."

"Haha, just wait and see. There will always be a day when the clouds will clear and the moon will appear."

The obvious irony made Shen Yiran unhappy, but he did not show it.

She had just arrived and had brought honor to the Marquis's Mansion today, so someone would definitely stand up for her.

"The Marquis is loyal, brave, resourceful, and handsome, and his two children are well-behaved and sensible. To be able to marry into the Marquis's mansion is the dream of many young ladies. Why, in the words of my eldest sister-in-law, it seems like a bottomless abyss?"

Shen Yiran's eyebrows curved, and he laid all his plans before Xu, and speculated lightly: "Could it be that my eldest brother did something to upset my eldest sister-in-law, so she vented her anger on me, a newlywed who has no one to support her?"

Xu had put in a lot of effort and used every possible means to get close to the Marquis's Mansion.

She originally thought she could become the marquis' wife, but unexpectedly, Bo Jinxiu was such a useless guy that she even lost the title she had obtained. Now she had to be bullied by the ladies whenever she went out.

She was sulking in her heart, and the slightest mention of it by others was enough to make her furious.

"How dare you!" Xu sneered, "This is the rule that Master Shen taught you! Shen, this is how you talk to your eldest sister-in-law!"

Shen Yiran lowered her eyes. She was not stupid and even knew how to speak in the capacity of the eldest sister-in-law.

But, it's too late!

"You are the one who is insolent!" Old Madam Bo came quickly over, leaning on a dragon-headed cane in one hand, leaving the nanny behind.

"grandmother?"

Xu was startled for a moment and subconsciously took a half step back. When she saw Shen Yiran, who had not yet taken off her wedding dress, approaching her, she finally reacted and bowed quickly, "Grandma, why are you here?"

"What? Are you the boss of Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion now? You are allowed to come, but I, an old woman, cannot?" He knocked the ground twice with his dragon-headed cane.

"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Xu's waist bent a little more.

"What are you afraid of? I think you are very brave! If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you were actually trying to sow discord between the Third Brother and Xiao Ran behind his back!"

Xu felt that she had lost face, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

"Grandma, don't blame the eldest sister-in-law. She just came to teach her daughter-in-law some rules. She had good intentions. She was spoiled by her parents at home and lost control of her temper. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. She shouldn't talk back to her eldest sister-in-law."

If Shen Yiran hadn't said it, the old lady wouldn't have been so angry, but now that he said it, it became a big deal.

"My grandchildren's mother is still alive. Is it her turn to be a mother? Don't speak for her. I am an old woman and I am not confused."

She heard the servants report that the two children were coming to Shen Yiran's side, and was worried that Shen Yiran would be unhappy, so she hurried over, arriving earlier than Xu.

She saw Shen Yiran being very patient with the two children, and naturally heard Xu's sarcasm.

"You've been bullied to the doorstep, and you're still trying to keep quiet?" The old lady seemed to be quite disappointed with Shen Yiran, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Shen Yiran was more of heartache.

This child used to live under the care of her stepmother, who even dared to deduct the dowry of a legitimate daughter, which shows that her life was not easy in the past.

He is used to being cautious, so how can he be immature? He is obviously the most sensible person.

Shen Yiran was still thinking about how to fan the flames when he felt a warm feeling on his hand.

The old lady came to her in a blink of an eye, held her hand, and said with concern: "Don't be afraid, I will support you in the future. If anyone dares to bully you, I will break his legs!"

Xu's calves trembled. This old lady is a man of her word.

"Look at what you look like all day, learn more from Xiao Ran!"

Xu's calves stopped shaking, but her heart was shaking with anger.

"Xiao Ran just got married, and you are her sister-in-law, so you should help with the housekeeping."

Upon hearing this, Xu's eyes widened suddenly.

"grandmother?"

Is this an attempt to seize her power as the head of the family?

"Grandma, I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Shen Yiran advised in a low voice.

"What's inappropriate? Jinnian has won endless glory for the Marquis' Mansion. You are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, and sooner or later it will be handed over to you to manage."

Shen Yiran stopped talking, and the old lady scolded Xu a few more times before leaving.

Before leaving, he wanted to take the two children with him, but Ji Siyue wanted to sleep with her mother, so Shen Yiran left the brother and sister behind.

This time, the old lady looked at Shen Yiran with even more satisfaction.

As soon as she left, Xu snorted coldly: "Third brother's wife is really capable."

Since there was no one to watch the show, Shen Yiran simply stopped acting and bowed slightly: "Goodbye, sister-in-law."

Xu walked away, shaking her sleeves.

Shen Yiran took the two children into the house, one on each side, and washed up to rest.

Compared with the deserted Pingyuanhou family, the Song family seemed much more lively.

Shen Yunyan was dreaming of a meteoric rise to fame when the door of her new home was violently kicked open and the drunk Song Qizhao was thrown into the room like a dead dog.

"My dear!" Shen Yunyan didn't care about the rules, lifted her veil and ran over.

He lay on the ground for a while before he could barely get up.

"My dear, what's going on?" She looked at the burly men with fleshy faces at the door in doubt and surprise.

Song Qizhao slowly came back to his senses, turned around and apologized with a smile, "Everyone please wait outside, I will bring out the silver soon!"

The strong men walked away, saying "Give face to the groom".

"Yan'er, listen to my explanation." Song Qizhao held Shen Yunyan's waist, "You have deep feelings for me, and I don't want to treat you unfairly. I wanted to give you a grand wedding, so I borrowed some money. I never thought that those people would come to make trouble today."

Song Qizhao lowered his head, looking extremely ashamed, "I am sorry for you."

Shen Yunyan felt very angry, but when she thought that this man would become the prime minister in the future and she would also enjoy the good life, she endured it.

"Don't worry, my dear. I have some private money here. You can use it to pay off your debt first."

Song Qizhao took the silver and soothed him gently, "It's hard to answer those questions. You go to sleep first and don't have to wait for me."

Shen Yunyan nodded obediently, "Husband, be careful."

Song Qizhao went away and did not return for the whole night.

She didn't know that after Song Qizhao paid off his debt with the silver, he went straight to the brothel. He was filled with worry and did not sleep all night.
