Chapter 74 (2/2)
Instead, old madame looked at Ning Mingjie and asked, “Mingjie, why do you have the free time to play Chinese chess here?”
It wasn’t early anymore . It would soon be time to go inside and sleep . At the very least, Wen Wan was the main wife . Not only was she outside playing Chinese chess, she had been playing with her cousin-in-law . No matter how anyone looked at it, it wasn’t appropriate . She wasn’t from a n.o.ble family, so she didn’t know these rules . It couldn’t be that Ning Mingjie also wasn’t aware?
Ning Mingjie’s face was actually calm and confident as he honestly said, “I happened to pa.s.s by and saw that Madam was troubled over a hopelessly bad move in her game . I couldn’t help myself and went over to see . ”

Ning Mingjie’s face was actually calm and confident as he honestly said, “I happened to pa.s.s by and saw that Madam was troubled over a hopelessly bad move in her game . I couldn’t help myself and went over to see . ”
Wen Wan guiltily looked at Marquis Moyu . The latter calmed his expression and sneered .
The aggrieved look on Wen Wan’s face increased . She bit her lip and said, “Upright people aren’t afraid of being in situations that look bad . Cousin-in-law truly just pa.s.sed by here . If Old Madame insists on blaming Wen Wan, there’s nothing else for Wen Wan to say . ”
“Look at you . You actually have the nerve to show your temper?” Old madame was so furious that she laughed . “Well, it’s also my son’s fault for not being promising . He fell for a temptress like you . If I were to lay down the rules, you would have been driven out of this residence a long time ago . ”
Wen Wan’s eyebrows pinched together . She was extremely unwilling to accept old madame’s words . Although Qi Siling had already repeatedly told her to not adopt a confrontational posture towards old madame, she still felt mistreated and couldn’t help saying, “No matter what Wen Wan does, Old Madame will still dislike Wen Wan . Wen Wan will daringly ask Old Madame one question . Since Old Madame has come back, has Wen Wan done a single wrong thing towards Old Madame for Old Madame to have treated me like this?”
Ji Man was standing by the side and had her head lowered to admire the ground . The female lead was really seeking death . Ning Yuxuan was a filial son . He definitely wouldn’t make his mother suffer in order to protect Wen Wan’s feelings . And yet, instead of calming herself down, her every word had been challenging her elder and putting Ning Yuxuan in a difficult position .
There were countless examples of conflicts between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law in modern times . Ji Man felt that before marrying someone, you should first see if you could get along with your future mother-in-law . This was more important than checking the other party’s family’s financial situation . If you couldn’t get along with your future mother-in-law, then you should reconsider getting married . Otherwise, you might end up wasting your youth .
In the conflict between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law, you really couldn’t say who was right and who was wrong . Ji Man felt that it was better for her to just stand by the side and quietly watch .
“How I treated you?” Old madame was flouris.h.i.+ng with anger . She glowered at Wen Wan and said, “This household feeds you and clothes you . Do you think I owe you something? You’re the one that improperly handle matters in a dislikable way, and now you’re going to accuse me of treating you harshly in front of Xuan-er?”
Wen Wan still wanted to say more, but Ning Yuxuan stepped forward and stopped her .

Wen Wan still wanted to say more, but Ning Yuxuan stepped forward and stopped her .
“Mother, please calm down . It’s this son’s fault for spoiling Wen Wan,” Ning Yuxuan said . “Direct your anger towards this son . ”
“How nice . A couple with mutually deep feelings . ” Old madame took a deep breath and Ji Man hurriedly supported her body that seemed as if it would fall over .
“Fine, this residence is for the two of you . How about I just leave?” After flinging down these words, old madame turned around and immediately started walking away . She was so angry that tears fell down as she walked .
She disliked Wen Wan and didn’t want Xuan-er to lose his head over her, but Xuan-erchose to side with her . How could she not be angry?
Ji Man hurriedly tried to comfort her, “Old Madame, don’t stay angry . It’s bad for your health . ”
“Come, we’re going to the palace and staying there!” Old madame angrily said . “I’ll give Marquis Moyu’s residence to her . We’ll see how long she can stay here!”
