Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237: Disgraced
Friday, Jiang Wenhao’s birthday, Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng returned to the Jiang Family Mansion for dinner.
Due to Jiang Wenhao’s health reasons, there was no grand celebration, just the family gathering for a meal.
Maybe because of the old man’s outburst last time, Jiang Zhengfang was much more reserved than usual and no longer dared to act superior in front of these nieces-in-law, just quietly sipping her tea, not even daring to meet Mu Yan’s eyes.
After all, last time she had ridiculed her for making Jiang Jingheng a cuckold and bringing shame to the Jiang Family, but now the truth has come out, and it’s a bit embarrassing.
Unable to stop Jiang Zhengting next to her from constantly giving her looks, Jiang Zhengfang pretended not to see, which only made her more furious.
This younger sister always acts recklessly, saying whatever she pleases. In the past, when the old man hadn’t expressed his stance, everyone might still respect her somewhat, but after what happened last time, the servants of the Jiang Family weren’t as respectful to them as before, let alone these children, so why not hurry up to curry favor?
Not relying on her sister, she says first, "Nuannuan, I saw the things online. You and your Mom have suffered. As a woman, I have to say, a woman’s heart can be the most venomous. And that person who smeared you is so vile, even using your Mom’s photos to cause trouble."
Mu Yan calmly said, "What goes around comes around. People who do bad things can’t escape punishment."
"Who knows whether those photos of your Mom are real or not," Qiu Shuyun sneered, "Maybe your Dad concocted a story to protect you and your Mom."
"Then, Aunt, do you have any evidence to prove he’s concocting stories?" Mu Yan retorted, her aura assertive and somewhat intimidating.
Qiu Shuyun was simply trying to vent and said resentfully, "What evidence could I possibly have."
"Since you have no evidence, don’t speak recklessly. After all, words can sometimes be more terrifying than knives. What you believe is not the truth, and the person you’re biased towards is the most despicable," Mu Yan said coldly, "I know you’re close with Liang Rong, but I still ask you to be cautious with your words outside, don’t say things that shouldn’t be said, leaving us nieces-in-law disrespected and bringing shame to the Jiang Family."
Qiu Shuyun said resentfully, "How am I bringing shame to the Jiang Family? Oh, this tongue is indeed sharp, making me look like an incompetent elder, one might even think you’re my elder."
"If elders don’t set an example, we can’t blindly flatter them, can we? Otherwise, why don’t you see me disrespecting my eldest aunt?" Mu Yan retorted.
"You..." Qiu Shuyun was infuriated.
Jiang Zhengting frowned and said, "Enough, second sister-in-law. I know you want to stand up for your good sister, but you’re a daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family, it’s better to distance yourself from those scheming mistresses, otherwise, people might think you were involved in those malicious acts."
Qiu Shuyun’s face turned pale, wanting to refute yet unable to, indeed, she spoke too hastily earlier and was at a loss.
"Fine, you’re all right," she said while getting up to go upstairs.
Jiang Zhengting watched her back, full of disdain, the women in the house were truly increasingly troublesome. She suddenly missed Yin Manqing’s good nature, at least she wouldn’t blatantly express hatred for someone, saving herself some face in the end.
She looked at Mu Yan and said, "Don’t listen to your second aunt, Yu Tai went to find your half-sister again, she’s upset."
Mu Yan smiled, "I understand."
Yet in her heart, she was a bit surprised, this Jiang Yutai really has true love for Zhuang Chujiao, unwavering.
Jiang Zhengfang glanced at Mu Yan’s expression and seized the moment to interject, "Yu Tai, that kid really doesn’t know better. What’s so good about a mistress’s daughter? His taste in women is poor, no wonder he’s inferior to his cousin."
