Chapter 291: Chapter 299: Guard Well

Mrs. Wang watched with a peculiar expression, unable to bear the sight of everyone’s harmonious demeanor; it was like a thorn in her heart. Why should everyone else lead a good life while hers was difficult? She wouldn’t even consider that her own misfortunes were self-caused, instead stubbornly blaming it all on Su Wenyue. She felt ever since Su Wenyue married into the Han Family, her own life had become harder.

Su Wenyue didn’t miss the flash of madness across Mrs. Wang’s face and became even more guarded. Before, she wasn’t afraid when she was on her own, but now, with a child, no precaution seemed excessive.

Hearing Mrs. Wang’s words, Mrs. Yang’s smile faded a bit. She didn’t say anything, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking, but clearly, she wasn’t pleased.

Su Wenyue watched coldly, choosing not to immediately defend Mrs. Li. She wanted to see Mrs. Li’s reaction first. People change, and having not seen her for such a long time, Mrs. Li had clearly changed, but whether it was for better or worse was unknown.

“Third sister-in-law, what you are saying isn’t appropriate. I don’t think that way at all. Life at home is getting better and better, and Fourth Brother has such a bright future—everyone is delighted about it. As for my Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, they will always be mine, as well as my child’s grandparents, and that will never change. My Husband, child, and I will always show them filial respect,” Mrs. Li said in a measured tone, addressing Mrs. Wang’s remarks while also clarifying her position.

“You talk a good talk; who knows what you’re really thinking!” Mrs. Wang retorted irritably. The current Mrs. Li was no longer the same person she used to bully without a peep of complaint; she was now a formidable presence.

Mrs. Li faced Mrs. Wang’s challenge without any sign of weakness, “What I say is exactly what I think, and as for my actions, everyone will see them in time.”

“All that sounds prettier than music…” Mrs. Wang wanted to add some more sarcastic remarks

“Enough, Third Daughter-in-law, today is a joyous occasion, and I don’t want to squabble with you. Stop stirring trouble like a shit-stirring stick, or I won’t spare you. Don’t think just because we’ve split the household, I can’t do anything about you. As long as you are a Daughter-in-law of the old Han family, you have to listen to me, your Mother-in-law. Otherwise, I’ll have your Third Brother divorce you, you troublemaker!” Mrs. Yang said with a hint of ruthlessness; she was unhappy with Mrs. Wang’s antics, which had been growing increasingly intolerable.

Han Lin sat quietly to the side, watching Mrs. Wang being scolded by Mrs. Yang without any reaction. At first, he had some affection for Mrs. Wang; after all, she was his wife, and their initial time together had been pleasant. However, her behavior over time had grown increasingly unsatisfactory: causing disgraceful incidents, injuring his mother, creating unrest at home, and promising a son only to deliver a daughter. While he was naturally unhappy with a daughter, still, she was his own flesh and blood. Mrs. Wang’s heartless attitude towards her was unacceptable—had his Mother not discovered it in time, Si Ya might have been lost.
