Chapter 37

Floating Cloud Residence.

At this moment, Chen Yurong had already rushed to the gate of the yard.

Chen Zhi and Xu Shuhe were having breakfast when they heard a woman's angry curse coming from outside.

"Xu, come out here. I didn't expect you to be such a black-hearted person. How could you treat my mother like this? You are so disrespectful and disrespectful to be someone else's daughter-in-law. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

"Is this... my sister's voice?" Xu Shuhe frowned and put down the bowl in his hand.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door, and Meixiang ran in from outside with a grim look on her face.

"Master, Madam, the eldest girl is back. I don't know why, but she started saying some unpleasant things as soon as she entered the house. Now she has come to the gate of our courtyard, and it seems that she is here to look for Madam."

"Our young lady has never offended the eldest girl, so what's going on?" Xinyue frowned unhappily.

Chen Zhi had now heard his sister's unpleasant words, and his expression was not looking good.

"You sit down, I'll go out and take a look."

After he said that, he stood up and went outside.

Chen Zhi knew his sister's character very well. He had already guessed that Chen Yurong must have received some news from Feng and that's why she came to Fuyunju to make trouble.

Chen Zhi felt guilty when he thought that if Xu Shuhe had not married him, she would not have to face all these troubles. That was why he stopped Xu Shuhe from going out and went to take a look first.

The brother and sister met in the yard.

Chen Yurong's face was filled with anger. "Where's Xu? Ask her to come see me!"

"Sister, if you have anything to say, it's the same if you tell me." Chen Zhi said calmly.

Seeing him like this, Chen Yurong was furious. "Where did Xu get the courage to torture her mother-in-law as soon as she entered the house? It turns out that you, who forgot your mother after marrying a wife, are backing her up. Sanlang, you used to be a sensible and well-behaved child. How come you have become so ignorant of the rules and etiquette and so disrespectful to your elders? Have you forgotten how our mother raised us? How can you let your new wife bully her like this?!"

After hearing this, Chen Zhi's face became even darker.

"I don't know what my elder sister heard that made her blame my wife like this. Everyone knows what happened in the mansion a few days ago. My father dealt with it personally. My wife was the victim. If she hadn't cared about the face of the elders in the family, the one in Wan Shuang Zhai would probably be more than just under house arrest. You coming here today was also instructed by that person, right?"

"If it weren't for Xu's lies that deceived the people and made you and your father lose your mind, how could this happen?"

"You are spreading rumors to confuse the public?" Xu Shuhe's voice interrupted Chen Yurong's speech. "If I had such a good ability, why would you, Sister, dislike me so much?"

Coming out of the house, Xu Shu stood side by side with Chen Zhi, looking at Chen Yurong calmly.

Hearing her say this, Chen Yurong snorted, "I almost believed your lies last time. If mother hadn't revealed your true face, I would have let you deceive me."

"Why is my mother-in-law under house arrest? Those who know the inside story are staying at our farm. You can go and interrogate her yourself. I won't explain them one by one, so that you won't accuse me of quibbling as your sister-in-law." Xu Shuhe remained calm.

"Don't think I don't know that you have colluded with them a long time ago." Chen Yurong glared.

Just when she was about to say something else, Li Mingzhu arrived and stood between the group of people.

"What's the fuss so early in the morning? Aunt Zhou is still visiting us. If this fuss gets out, won't it make people laugh at it?"

When she saw Li Mingzhu, Chen Yurong felt like she had found a teammate and immediately held her hand.

"Second sister-in-law, tell me, why was mother grounded for no reason? Was it this woman's fault?"

As she asked, she glared at Xu Shuhe with a knife in her eyes. Li Mingzhu looked at the two of them, helpless. She couldn't lie in such an occasion, so she had to bite the bullet and said.

"It was Xia He who was beside my mother-in-law who was so confused that she almost harmed my third brother's wife. The truth has come out. My mother-in-law failed to discipline her servants, so my father-in-law asked her to reflect on her mistakes. This matter is all the fault of that lowly maid."

"Of course I know it was the fault of that slut, but for such a small matter, why would Dad confine Mother to her house and tell her not to manage the household? It's obvious that someone is fanning the flames. Even if Mother is at fault, she is the elder. How can you punish an elder severely for such a small matter?"

Chen Yurong looked very serious, and became angry as she spoke.

"In my opinion, if she can get her mother grounded and severely punished for such a small matter today, she will turn the tables tomorrow and bully her mother. How can she be a good person if she has such a mindset?"

"You keep calling me mother, little Yurong. I think you have forgotten who your real mother is!"

Just as Chen Yurong was explaining her twisted ideas, a stern questioning voice suddenly came from the door. Just hearing the voice made people feel a little scared.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Hui walking into the yard holding the hand of a maid.

"Uncle, aunt." Chen Yurong was obviously a little out of breath. After recognizing the person, she bowed and saluted.

Lin Hui looked at her with disappointment in her eyes, "You haven't made any progress in these years since you married into the Liang family. I think your brain is controlled by Feng Shi."

This was an extremely impolite statement. Chen Yurong frowned and was about to retort, but then she heard Lin Hui's cold voice.

"If you want to see Feng Shi when you come back today, then go right now. If you come back to cause trouble or to speak up for Feng Shi, then send someone to call your father back. Your biological mother is gone, and I, your aunt, am also half a biological mother. I can sit down and have a good talk with your father and Feng Shi on behalf of Sanlang and his wife."

After hearing this, Chen Yurong didn't know how to respond, and Li Mingzhu's expression became even uglier.

She hurriedly pulled Chen Yurong out and said, "It's rare for my sister to come back. My mother-in-law is not feeling well. Please go and see her. I see my aunt and my third brother and his wife haven't finished their breakfast yet, so let's not disturb them for now."

Chen Yurong was unhappy, but she was also afraid of Lin Hui's aura. She bit her lip and was reluctantly pulled out by Li Mingzhu.

The yard became quiet, and Xu Shuhe bowed to Lin Hui.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Okay." Lin Hui waved her hand, then frowned and sighed, "Yurong's temper has been ruined."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Zhi and said, "Sanlang, do you also think that your aunt's words are unpleasant to hear?"

"No, my aunt is doing this for our own good. I know in my heart that my sister has indeed been influenced too much by the guy from Wan Shuangzhai. I just hope she can wake up sooner." Chen Zhi said seriously.

Seeing that his expression did not seem fake, Lin Hui's expression relaxed a little and she nodded with satisfaction.

After all this trouble, Chen Zhi couldn't eat breakfast. He said goodbye to the two of them and went out to work in the store.

Xu Shuhe stayed to drink tea and talk with Lin Hui.

"I think Feng still has the energy to make trouble, but she is too idle." Lin Hui said lightly, holding the teacup.

"That's right." Xu Shuhe also nodded. "I was originally planning to go out and meet a few shop owners today, but after hearing this, I've become restless."

Hearing her say this, Lin Hui laughed, "So, you should think of a way to tie her hands and feet and tell her not to bother you."

These words touched Xu Shuhe's heart.

I'm not really here to cause a house fight, so I don't have the time to play with her all the time.
