The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

These, like a vivid picture, kept appearing in Xue Jinhua's mind.

Every detail of my past with Zhao Yuxuan is so clear, as if it happened just yesterday.

And Miss Wen's mother's past is surprisingly similar to her own.

Just at this moment, Wen Jinyu's voice suddenly sounded, sharp and piercing, breaking the silence around.

"Grandma, Wen Jinhua bullied me."

Hearing this, Qing Yi couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face full of anger. She turned to look at Xue Jinhua and asked anxiously, "Madam, the second young lady actually dared to sue you? This is too much!"

Xue Jinhua's face turned a little ugly, but she still suppressed her inner dissatisfaction and shook her head gently to indicate that it was okay.

She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, then said lightly: "It's okay, let's go in and take a look." After that, she stepped into the house.

When she entered the room, she saw Old Madam Wen sitting at the top seat, with a barely perceptible coldness in her eyes.

Wen Jinyu stared at her with a provocative look, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Hello, old lady." Xue Jinhua bowed respectfully, her posture upright and elegant.

However, Madam Wen acted as if she didn't hear anything. She just sat there motionless and made no sound.

Xue Jinhua couldn't help feeling helpless when she saw this.

But she has never been the kind of person who is easily influenced by others' emotions. She didn't care about it and just sat down aside.

"You are from the country after all, and you have no manners at all. Your grandmother didn't even ask you to get up, so why did you get up?" Seeing this, Wen Jinyu seemed to have found an opportunity to vent his anger. His morale suddenly became high, and his words were full of sarcasm and contempt.

She stared at Xue Jinhua closely, her eyes gleaming with pride, as if she had already gained the upper hand. "Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake to your grandmother?"

Madam Wen also agreed, "Yes, no matter what, I am your grandmother. Is that why you are so disciplined?"

"Rules?" Xue Jinhua smiled sweetly, like a blooming flower. "Could it be that the old lady thinks that I am from the countryside and can be bullied at will? Isn't the old lady herself from the countryside?"

Old Madam Wen and Wen Jinyu were both stunned. They obviously had not expected that she would resist.

"How dare you! You bitch, you were born by your mother but never raised by her. How dare you speak to Grandma like that? Why don't you admit your mistake to Grandma!"

Xue Jinzhao's face darkened, as if covered by dark clouds. "What have I done wrong? Why should I apologize?"

"You have disobeyed your grandmother so much, isn't that wrong?"

"It's wrong to talk back to your grandmother, but it's not wrong to talk back to the lady of the imperial court?"

Old Madam Wen and Wen Jinyu were stunned again, obviously confused by what Xue Jinhua meant.

It was Qingyi who explained, "Our Second Master is a second-rank official in the imperial court. The Emperor has issued an edict that if the Qian family marries, the lady will automatically be given the title of Imperial Lady."

"Now our Madam is a second-rank imperial lady. If it weren't for the fact that this is Madam's family, according to common sense, you would all have to bow to Madam."

"Nonsense...nonsense! You are the daughter of the Wen family. How can an elder bow to a younger person?" Old Madam Wen was obviously in disbelief.

Qingyi continued, "What do you mean by your Wen family's daughter? A woman is married and follows her husband. Our lady is married now, so naturally she is first the daughter-in-law of the Qian family, and then the daughter of the Wen family."

"Forget it. After all, you are from the countryside. You have never seen the world and don't know the rules." Old Madam Wen's words did not hide the harshness in them. "However, considering that we are all family, I will not bother with you."

Old Madam Wen and Wen Jinyu had never suffered such contempt in the Wen family, and the anger in their hearts grew more and more fierce.

They really knew nothing about those things. Even if they suddenly realized it at this moment, they were not sure whether what they said was true?

My heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, and in the end, I dared not say a word.

Xue Jinhua gently moved the lid of the teacup and said leisurely, "Regarding the betrothal gift that my sister just mentioned, although I am the daughter-in-law of the Qian family, I cannot make all decisions on my own. How about I ask the Second Master what he thinks?"

If we really ask like this, wouldn't it be equivalent to putting the matter on the table openly? No matter how thick-skinned Madam Wen is, there is no way she can accept such a situation happily.

Wen Jinyu's face flushed instantly. If she made such a big fuss, once everyone knew about this, wouldn't she become a laughing stock? She hadn't even been engaged yet. If she made such a fuss, who would dare to propose to her in the future?

"Well... let's just leave it at that. Jinyu is still young and was just playing a little joke on you." In fact, since Wen Jinyu could think of all this, then Old Madam Wen would naturally not be unaware of it. She must have known it all in her mind.

The atmosphere became increasingly awkward and everyone remained silent.

Xue Jinhua's beautiful eyes flickered, "So, I remember that mother left a lot of dowry, right?"

Hearing this, the old lady's expression instantly tensed.

Wen Jinyu's eyes turned red, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I just vaguely remember that when my daughter got married, my mother should have left me a lot of dowry, right?"

"Old Madam, why don't you send my mother's dowry to my mansion today?"

"How ridiculous! Since your mother has married into the Wen family, the dowry naturally belongs to the Wen family. As a married daughter, what qualifications do you have to ask for it?" Wen Jinyu's mind was as clear as a mirror.

Back then, her mother left behind a lot of dowry, so much that even today, the Wen family still lives a comfortable life relying on this dowry.

If the dowries were taken away, how could they continue to enjoy this wealth and splendor?

"Then I, your biological daughter, have no right to claim it, but you, your illegitimate daughter, can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor?" Xue Jinhua was not angry. Instead, she covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled. "Why don't I make this public and let everyone judge for themselves?"

"you………"

Wen Jinyu's expression became more tense, but Madam Wen realized that the situation was not good and hurriedly tried to persuade her, "It's easy to talk about this, but it's really not appropriate to mention this matter when you return home today. Besides... isn't your father here?"

"Even if we want to discuss this matter, we have to discuss it with your father, right?"

Xue Jinhua's expression remained calm and composed. "What the old lady said is absolutely right. I was just joking with you just now. Don't take it seriously."

She was not the eldest daughter of the Wen family. Although her mother's dowry had been embezzled, it was not convenient for her to ask for it directly.

What's more, Master Wen knew her true identity, so he naturally wouldn't agree.

But even if I can't get those things back, at least I can make them feel bad, and this feeling is really good.

At this moment, Madam Wen and Wen Jinyu felt as if they had been slapped hard in the face. The burning sensation instantly spread throughout their bodies, and the pain came like a surging tide, but they dared not even make a sound, for fear of revealing the slightest flaw.

Is this person in front of me still the Wen Jinhua who came from the countryside? Her methods are so powerful.

Old Madam Wen stared at her closely, and saw that she always had a faint smile on her face, but that smile seemed to be floating on the surface and did not reach the depths of her eyes at all.

I just want to find her faults and catch her in the act, but I can't find a suitable reason and I don't know where to start.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, a voice finally came from the front yard, "Madam, the master wants to know if we can set up the dinner?"

This sentence instantly broke the awkward atmosphere.

Madam Wen finally woke up from her dream, and quickly sorted out her emotions. She said politely, "Yes, it's almost time. Let's go out."

After leaving the room, Master Qian quickly came to Xue Jinhua's side and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable or wronged?"

Upon seeing this, Madam Wen's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, while Xue Jinhua gently shook her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just had a casual chat with the old lady just now, talking about family matters." Her words seemed plain, but only she knew the deep meaning contained in them.

After hearing this, Master Wen suddenly felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

He frowned slightly, a barely perceptible embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and his originally rosy face turned a little pale at this moment.

He coughed lightly, trying to hide his inner uneasiness, and said slowly: "Why do you suddenly bring up this matter? Don't mention it again, otherwise everyone will be unhappy."

Xue Jinhua's expression remained calm, as if the words just now had not caused any impact on her.

She gently put down her bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and a hint of sadness was revealed in her eyes.

She knew that these words had touched the sensitive area deep in Mr. Wen's heart, and she had no intention of hurting him.

Wen Jinyu sat aside, watching the interaction between the Second Master and Xue Jinhua. The jealousy in her heart was like a burning flame that almost swallowed her. Originally, all this belonged to her, but it was because of her appearance that everything was taken away from her.

She clenched the chopsticks tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white, and she swore in her heart that she would make Xue Jinhua pay the price.

No, absolutely not.

She wants to destroy all of this...
