Chapter 448: Chapter 452 Shang Family’s Daughter (13)

The indignant Second Yuan and the third son looked over inquiringly.

Their elder brother and sister-in-law had such a matter before, and they didn’t know anything at all.

Yuan Wen had never expected Su Li to spread such secretive news far and wide, making even a coarse old woman aware of the original ins and outs.

Turning marriage into a transaction, it still sounds very unpleasant when spoken aloud.

The domineering demeanor that Yuan Wen had when he shouted about divorcing his wife suddenly dropped to freezing, stubbornly trying to maintain his composure, he loudly said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

There was no need for Su Li to step in, the Maid beside her could suppress Yuan Wen.

The old woman, with a sardonically polite demeanor, said, "The marriage contract, my Madam has kept it safely. It’s no big deal to take it out for everyone to see."

At this point, Yuan Wen, not being very clever, found himself at a loss, swaying as he struggled to stand up, he beckoned his son to help support him, appearing as if he could barely hold himself up, and weakly said, "Jiaming, hurry and help me find a doctor, I feel very unwell."

Yuan Wen’s evasive approach even made his two brothers subtly show some disdain.

The second son was always honest. Although he felt that the grand image of his elder brother had crumbled in his heart, he still habitually made many excuses for Yuan Wen.

The third son was different, the most unrestrained at home.

At this moment, his face didn’t hide his feelings at all, showing an astonished look of ’how could my elder brother be like this.’

Yuan Wen caught the looks from his two brothers and felt dizzy.

The image he had carefully maintained as the eldest brother was utterly destroyed today.

Although the two brothers had their little schemes, overall, they still trusted him and were willing to listen to him.

But just now, not only the two brothers but also the two sisters-in-law had various expressions.

Yuan Wen’s eyes truly turned dark now, Yuan Jiaming and Yuan Xiaoxiao both struggled to support him, swaying, nearly causing him to fall to the ground.

What Yuan Wen was most worried about now was that once his two brothers lost their previous admiration and obedience, if influenced by pillow talk, they started to reckon the contributions over the years, it would not be a pleasant matter.

Between his wife and his parents and brothers, Yuan Wen naturally leaned towards his parents and brothers.

But if he had to choose between his parents, siblings, nieces, and himself, without hesitation, Yuan Wen would definitely think of himself first.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have continued insisting on studying, putting a strain on the whole family despite repeatedly failing exams, persisting for the family to support his education.

At this time, Su Li spoke again, "After all, a married couple shares many days of affection. Since we’re going to separate, for the sake of our two children, I will not pursue what the Su Family invested in you."

Suddenly, Yuan Wen began to consider the feasibility of this matter.

Unexpectedly, at this crucial moment, the usually gloomy Zhang Qiaoqiao suddenly spoke.

She hesitantly said, "Sister-in-law, even if you’re having a disagreement with your uncle, don’t say things that hurt feelings; otherwise, Jiaming and Xiao Xiao would be very upset."

Zhang Qiaoqiao’s words reminded Yuan Ping.

His eyes brightened, remembering that the two children had always been the apple of Su Li’s eye.

No matter what, he wouldn’t mistreat the two children, as long as the children’s tender hearts couldn’t bear it...

All at once, Yuan Ping’s resolve strengthened.

Su Li, with a sneer, glanced at her sister-in-law, who seemed to be advising for their benefit.

Indeed, her credibility was all an act.

Su Li’s reckless moves had driven her into complete disarray.

Wan Xixi kept looking in Zhang Qiaoqiao’s direction several times, deep in thought occasionally, her attitude toward this sister-in-law, whom she had never taken seriously and who was as honest as an old ox, had gained significant solemnity.

Seeing that everyone was focusing on Yuan Jiaming and Yuan Xiaoxiao, Yuan Jiaming puffed out his chest with disdain and said impatiently to Su Li, "Mother, if you really still acknowledge us as your children, you should stop making trouble."

"How have you become like this?"

"People always say you’re arrogant, power-hungry, and mean, and sometimes we even defend you, but look at what you’ve done now."

Yuan Jiaming, furious, counted off on his fingers the offenses committed by Su Li: "Talking back to elders, raising your hand against an elder, arguing with your husband..."

Su Li looked at Yuan Jiaming and Yuan Xiaoxiao, thinking how this wasn’t the attitude of children toward their biological mother—it was as if they were class enemies.

Yuan Ping was secretly pleased, his mind at ease, merely waiting for his wife’s compromise.

He was determined to have her kneel down and apologize to his parents and ideally take control of her silver coins.

Yuan Wen suddenly recalled overhearing his son say he knew where the key to Su Li’s box was...

Su Li saw the dirty schemes in Yuan Wen’s eyes very clearly, losing her last shred of patience.

"Think about it yourself, see if you want to leave."

With that, she waved her sleeve, not even sparing a glance at those ungrateful children, and directly returned to her room with two old women and two maids.

As soon as Su Li entered the room, the two old women stationed themselves like gate gods, one on each side, fiercely watching the other Yuan Family members outside.

The entire courtyard was in chaos, utterly messy.

The little girl looked at her parents and then at the people from the other two rooms, boldly pointing at the two old women and asking, "Who are you, and why aren’t you leaving?"

It occurred to others then that they had been preoccupied with trivial matters and had forgotten to inquire about these old women and maids who had suddenly appeared in their home.

At that moment, already perceived as hateful lackeys in everyone’s eyes, the old women, grinning with their sparse teeth, cheerfully said, "We are coarse servants purchased by the Madam, with no other skills but inherent strength and a slick tongue."

The others from the Yuan Family: "..." They had indeed witnessed the strength, and had deeply experienced the sharp tongue.

"Those who foolishly seek to anger the Madam, I alone can tackle two of them." The maids, with gleaming eyes, lingered on each member of the Yuan Family, deterring them from ever intending to vex their sister-in-law/aunt again.

Their frail bodies could not withstand an opponent’s powerful strike.

Father and mother/grandparents, we are unfilial, and can only bide our time, waiting for the right moment to thoroughly teach Su Li a lesson.

The sons of the Yuan Family all spontaneously found perfect excuses for their inactive behavior.

It was clear that the intrinsic traits of the Yuan Family, such as their coldness, had been present all along.

It was just that they had never had a suitable opportunity to explode.

The two old women had been bought, and so were the two maids who had entered with Su Li.

Unexpectedly, Su Li had kept her word—she had indeed spent money to hire two maids to serve her.

Comparatively, the last two sisters-in-law ended up feeling the most annoyed and uneasy.
