Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Although Ying Yufu and Shangguan Tang already knew about the shamelessness and wickedness of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, this moment still refreshed their worldview.

"Ying Nanyao, what did you just say? You're letting a concubine from the Marquis of Chengen's mansion be Fu'er's honored guest?"

Moreover, this concubine came from a brothel.

It wasn't that she looked down on women from brothels; it was simply that the Marquis's family's actions were clearly malicious.

Ying Nanyao explained in a serious tone: "When Zhi'er came of age, we invited the wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en. It wouldn't be appropriate for Fu'er to go before her cousin, so after discussing it, we decided to invite a concubine from the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion."

Although Lady Fengxian is a concubine, she is a highly favored one. Having her as Fu'er's principal wife is a good omen.

"Ying Nanyao, to hell with your good fortune! Do you even deserve to be a father?"

Shangguan Tang could no longer tolerate it and started cursing.

Ying Nanyao's expression changed completely.

"Shangguan Tang, don't be ungrateful!"

"Ying Nanyao, you're the one who doesn't know what's good for you! How many benefits have you taken from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion all these years? And now you still have the nerve to say I don't know what's good for me."

Before you married me, your Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion was just a bankrupt household with a hollow title. After you married me, you ate my food and spent my money. Your whole family was supported by my Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!

Now that my Duke Zhenguo's mansion is in danger, you humiliate my daughter like this! You're such an ingrate! I'd rather raise a dog than you!

Shangguan Tang's cursing echoed throughout the entire street.

This street was inhabited by dukes, marquises, generals, and high-ranking officials.

The commotion at the entrance of the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence was quite significant, immediately attracting numerous prying eyes.

Everyone here is a respectable person. Although those important figures did not come out to watch the spectacle in person, the servants and gatekeepers all saw everything clearly.

"Heavens! The Marquis of Weiyuan has invited a lowly concubine from a brothel to be the principal guest for his daughter. This is truly unheard of."

"Alas, the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion really married the wrong person back then."

"Who can argue with that? But there's nothing we can do about what happened back then."

Back then, Shangguan Tang was kidnapped by bandits; if it weren't for Ying Nanyao, he would have been ruined!

"It's all fate!"

But some people seem to be able to see through everything.

"What do you mean by fate? Fate is in our own hands. I think there's something fishy going on here."

"That's right. The Marquis of Weiyuan's family are simply freeloaders. Not only are they freeloaders, but they also feed other women, and then they turn around and kick them while they're down. Tsk tsk!"

"Shangguan Tang, stop making a scene. Do you even look like the mistress of a marquis's mansion? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Seeing that everyone's doors were slightly ajar, and people were peeking at their commotion, Ying Nanyao felt a little embarrassed.

"If your family isn't afraid of being laughed at, why should I be afraid?"

Today, I, Shangguan Tang, will show everyone the ways of the Marquis of Weiyuan's family.

"We clearly invited Grand Princess Huaxi to be Fu'er's principal guest, yet you secretly invited a concubine. Are you disgracing my Duke Zhenguo's mansion, or disgracing the Grand Princess?"

"What's all this noise about?"

The old lady's stern voice rang out, and Liu Xueyan and Ying Hengzhi helped her out, one on each side.

"Shangguan, what are you doing here? We already sent a letter to the Grand Princess yesterday, telling her that she doesn't need to come today."

It's just a young lady's coming-of-age ceremony, what kind of behavior is this, making such a scene?"

Shangguan Tang's blood boiled, his eyes turned bloodshot, "You actually—"

"Madam, Madam, something terrible has happened!"

Shihua and Shishu ran out from inside. Both maids had disheveled hair, swollen cheeks, and bloodstains on their lips.

Ying Yufu and Shangguan Tang's expressions changed instantly.

The old lady's face also changed. "How were you guarding them? How did they escape? Someone come quick—"

"Aunt Shihua, Aunt Shishu, who hit you?" Ying Yufu's eyes flashed with a sinister glint as she quickly stepped forward and pulled them behind her.

Shi Shu said, "It was Chunxi and Xia Huan, who served the Old Madam, who beat us. Yesterday, after Miss and Madam left, the Old Madam and the Marquis forcibly broke open the lock on Madam's private treasury..."

The poet said, "They not only took the lady's million taels of silver, but also a lot of antiques and paintings, several sets of gemstone jewelry, and... and that five-hundred-year-old ginseng!"

"The servants went to stop them, but they were subdued by the old lady's men. There were too many of them, and we... we couldn't defeat them."

"You two little sluts, how dare you come here to complain? We took our own property, how dare you two lowly servants stop us? Get out of here now!"

The old lady immediately shouted.

"Did you take your own things?"

Shangguan Tang said sternly, "I didn't expect that your Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion is really so poor that you actually broke into my private treasury and stole our dowry while I was away!"

This matter is not over today. Even if it goes all the way to His Majesty, I will demand justice. Even if something happens to my Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, we cannot be bullied like this!

"Shangguan, have you gone mad?"

"Yes, I've gone mad!" Shangguan Tang's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was frantic.

The old lady frowned deeply. "She's from a peasant background after all, she has no manners..."

"Mother!" Ying Nanyao's expression changed.

The old lady immediately fell silent, realizing that she had said the wrong thing.

Seeing this, Ying Yufu suddenly opened her mouth and shouted loudly:

"Everyone come and see! Come and listen! My grandmother says she looks down on my mother because she comes from a peasant background!"

So while my mother was away, she broke the lock on my mother's private treasury and stole my mother's dowry.

Grandmother, you're confused. If you really need money, just tell my mother. How could she not give it to you?

How could you do something like breaking locks and stealing?

Besides, even if you think the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is in trouble and you look down on my mother, you can't call her a peasant with no manners.

My mother is clearly a very good person. Over the years, she has used all her dowry to help her husband's family, but unexpectedly, they don't appreciate her kindness.

Shangguan Tang also shouted, "If I had known that my mother-in-law would look down on me because I came from a peasant background, why did she marry me back then?"

Could it be that the Marquis only sought to marry me for my dowry back then?

By this time, the sky was bright and the sun was high in the sky, and the whole street was crowded with people watching the spectacle.

Many people started pointing and whispering in their direction, and the old lady and Ying Nanyao's expressions grew increasingly unpleasant.

"Shangguan, if you have something to say, go inside and talk. What kind of behavior is this, shouting at the door?"

"And you, Ying Yufu, how dare you, as a junior, discuss the affairs of adults! You'd better get right now and kneel in the ancestral hall!"

Ying Yufu's face was full of fear: "What? Grandmother, you said you not only want to take my mother's dowry, but also want to beat me to death?"

"Grandmother, even tigers don't eat their cubs! I'm your own granddaughter! How could you do such a heinous thing?"

hiss!

The onlookers pointed and whispered more and more at the old lady and the others.

The old lady's face contorted with anger.

"You little bitch, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"What?! Grandmother actually said that with the fall of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, my mother and I are just lowly people. She can finally kill us and seize my mother's dowry..."

"You're talking nonsense!"

"She's not lying, I can testify!" a kind passerby testified.

Ying Yufu tilted her head and cast an admiring glance at the person.
