Chapter 3 - Shielded Based on Unalterable Principle (1/2)

Shi Qingxue nodded with absent-mindness. She knew what Mo Yuzhen said in her last life, and she got no interest in it. She fully focused on the conversation of those madams at this moment.

“Shujun is really blessed. Not only does she have sons and grandsons, but the wives of sons and grandsons are filial. You could see how lively this birthday party is, and how jealous we are!” The old woman who was speaking was Mo Shujun’s close friend, Madam He, princess of Commandery Prince Fan.

The aged empress had always been very accommodating, and in a simple sentence, she praised the whole family.

Not only did she please Mo Shujun, but she also gave face to the wife of Duke, Dong Hui, which evoked the support of several madams.

At this time, a clear voice sounded abruptly, “It seems as if only she is the only competent one in this family!”

The voice of Zhou Ruyu, the third madam in the Shi Family, was neither too loud nor too low. It was like a mumble to herself, but it was loud enough for the madams at present to hear it clearly.

Suddenly, everyone was silent and looked at each other.

In particular, the faces of the madams who were applauding before were even more awkward. Obviously, they did not expect that Zhou Ruyu would insult Dong Hui in public.

The rumor said that the wife of Third Master Shi was arrogant and envious. When they met her today, they finally knew that the rumor was not wrong.

After Zhou Ruyu said these words, she provocatively raised her chin to her eldest sister-in-law, as if to say, “I am insulting you in public. What can you do with me?”

Dong Hui was instantly furious.

However, in front of so many eyes, although Zhou Ruyu was being shameless, she could not lose the honor of the Duke’s family. So no matter how mad she was, she could only tolerate it at this moment.

But even though Dong Hui was able to bear it, Shi Qingxue, who was always paying attention to it, couldn’t tolerate it.

She snorted, and suddenly said, “Auntie, are you saying that you think you are more competent than my mother?”

Shi Qingxue’s voice was a little louder than Zhou Ruyu’s. This time, even all the ladies were looking at them.

This question made Zhou Ruyu the target of criticism.

She couldn’t give a positive acknowledgement to Shi Qingxue’s question not matter how respected she was. She could only answer with embarrassment, “I surely dare not compare myself with Sister Hui.”

Shi Qingxue nodded in agreement and said, “My mother is the best mother in the world, and even my grandmother has to praise her. Of course she is the most capable!

Do you agree, Auntie?”
