Chapter 611: Chapter 612: This is What You Asked for Yourself_1 Chapter 611: Chapter 612: This is What You Asked for Yourself_1 Zhao Danggui was truly insidious. She sweetly called Mrs. Lin ‘Mother,’ so now it’s only natural for Muniang to call her ‘Sister.’ Otherwise, Muniang would be seen as the one who is petty and throwing a temper tantrum. Zhao Danggui was so calculated that she had to take such a roundabout approach; even pigs wouldn’t believe she had no ulterior motive.

Muniang forcibly pulled her hand back, her smile not reaching her eyes, “I hold grudges, so you better not try to cozy up to me right now.”

Zhao Danggui was stunned. This woman was so direct! Was she brainless, or too clever for her own good?

Zhao Danggui immediately turned to Mrs. Lin with a look of grievance, “Mother, look at your daughter, she’s still holding a petty grudge and refuses to forgive me, not even willing to call me ‘sister.’

Mrs. Lin’s face twitched, clearly still unable to cope with Zhao Danggui calling her ‘Mother.’ In principle, she should have been pleased, but why did it feel so awkward?

“Dangui, my Muniang is shy around strangers, she will need some time to get used to this. Give it a few days and she’ll come around naturally,” Mrs. Lin said.

Zhao Danggui was choked with frustration. What kind of reasoning was that? Shy around strangers? Could it possibly be any more far-fetched?

Muniang suppressed a laugh. Zhao Danggui actually ran to complain to her mother about her own supposed faults; had she lost her mind? Did she really think that by calling Mrs. Lin ‘Mother,’ she would be as significant as she herself was? Would Mrs. Lin not stand by her own biological daughter and instead help berate her?

Zhao Danggui gritted her teeth. She finally understood that there was no way this mother and daughter would ever consider her one of their own. With that in mind, she might as well lay her cards on the table!

Muniang watched Zhao Danggui with leisure, waiting to see what kind of trick she was planning to pull.

Zhao Danggui composed her expression before saying, “From today onwards, Mother is a member of the Zhao family.”

Muniang raised an eyebrow, “A member of the Zhao family? You don’t count, you’re now surnamed Wang.”

Zhao Danggui glared at Muniang fiercely; she just had to remind her that she wasn’t a Zhao!

“I am my father’s biological daughter, and of course, I have my father’s interests at heart. It stands to reason that when a woman marries into the Zhao family, all her assets should be handed over to those in charge! Once you’ve entered the Zhao household, you should behave and stop playing tricks!” Zhao Danggui’s tone and attitude changed suddenly, devoid of her previous affectionate and flattering demeanor.

Mrs. Lin, not being a schemer herself, was terrified by Zhao Danggui’s sudden change and froze on the spot.

Muniang, however, sneered coldly. The fox had finally shown its tail!

“So, according to you, what should my mother have brought with her?” Muniang asked coldly.

“Don’t play dumb with me, I know how rich your family is! The Embroidery House, the theaters, what about those properties? Are you saying they’ve all been thrown away, only to bring these old quilts and furniture? Who are you trying to disgust?” Zhao Danggui’s voice was piercingly shrill, like she wanted to burst your eardrums.

Mrs. Lin now understood Zhao Danggui’s intentions and stood up anxiously, “Those belong to Muniang, not me.”

Zhao Danggui’s eyes bulged as she said, “Isn’t she your daughter? Now that you’ve married into the Zhao family, shouldn’t she call my father ‘Father’?”

Mrs. Lin wasn’t articulate, but she absolutely wouldn’t allow others to covet her daughter’s hard-earned assets. After struggling for words, she finally said, “A daughter follows her husband upon marriage; Muniang married Erlang long ago. If we really have to speak of ownership, then these assets rightfully belong to her husband!”

Zhao Danggui sneered, “You think I’m easy to fool? I’ve made sure to inquire about it. Her husband is literally a man who moved into his wife’s home upon marriage! He was originally a fool, and now even with a restored mind, doesn’t he still live with you?”

Mrs. Lin retorted angrily, “Erliang did not marry into and live with his bride’s family!”

Zhao Danggui’s voice turned shrill, “If he is not living with his bride’s family, then why doesn’t he take your daughter back to his own family home, instead of living with you? Or could it be that your daughter is not the legitimate wife, but some shameful concubine!”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Mrs. Lin was furious. Muniang hurriedly steadied Mrs. Lin and gently shook her head, “Mother, don’t get angry; he’s not worth it.”

Mrs. Lin grasped Muniang’s hand, feeling much more composed.

Zhao Danggui pointed at Muniang’s nose and cursed, “What do you mean by that?”

Muniang coldly brushed her hand away, “Zhao Danggui, I advise you to behave yourself! Don’t think I can be easily fooled, setting your sights on me is audacious indeed! Let alone other matters, as a daughter married out, on what grounds do you represent the Zhao Family to point fingers at my mother here?”

Zhao Danggui stiffened her neck and said, “Why can’t I? Even if I’m married off, I’m still the beloved daughter of this family!”

Muniang retorted fiercely, “Then you should know to call the person before you ‘Mother’! To be so rude before an elder, and even dare to threaten, have you grown tired of living?”

Zhao Danggui was furious, “Don’t try to blind me with bluster! Every penny that should be turned over can’t be short even by the smallest amount!”

Muniang scoffed, “You’re not even worth my time to bluff. Don’t overestimate yourself!”

“You!”

Muniang advanced a few steps toward her, articulating every word, “Listen carefully! No matter how much money I have, it has nothing to do with you. Even if you’re green with envy, don’t expect to take any advantage from me. If you dare to mess with me without knowing your bounds, I’ll make you meet an end you won’t see coming.”

Her calm voice was like a phantom, chilling to the core. Zhao Danggui couldn’t help but shudder and stepped back several times.

The room’s door was suddenly burst open, and a figure charged in, cursing loudly, “You ungrateful wretch! I’ve spoken nicely, and you still aren’t satisfied. I’m telling you, if you don’t hand over your properties today, I’ll make sure your mother suffers right here! After all, she is now a part of the Zhao family, you have no right to be pointing fingers here!”

The person was none other than Wang Fuqiang, who had been eavesdropping outside the door. Because this was the bridal chamber, it was acceptable for women to come in, meaning they were accompanying the bride. But it was deemed inappropriate for a man to enter unless it was for the wedding night festivities. So, due to etiquette, Wang Fuqiang had waited outside.

But as he listened, he grew increasingly dismayed; his fierce wife seemed to be subdued by Muniang. How could things continue this way? There was so much money at stake. He could not let it go that easily! Therefore, in his impatience, he simply broke in. He was determined to deal with that ignorant woman. He couldn’t believe that a mere woman could be so formidable.

Zhao Danggui saw him as a savior and immediately hid behind Wang Fuqiang. Mrs. Lin’s eyes widened with shock – how could Wang Fuqiang show such disrespect? Was the bridal chamber something anyone could just enter?

Truth be told, aside from money, Wang Fuqiang cared for nothing else. A ruffian at heart, for money, he would dare to intrude anywhere, even if the bridal chamber was in use right at that moment.

Muniang let out a “Heh” in cold laughter, “So you’ve brought this upon yourself!”

Wang Fuqiang observed Muniang’s expression and tone. Far from being panic-stricken or scared, her smile even seemed to contain… a hint of excitement?
