Chapter 1194: A Strange Atmosphere
Mu Yan didn’t want to argue with Jiang Zhengfang, but when others launch an attack on you, you can’t just keep retreating, nor can you always let Jiang Jingheng stand up for her.A woman’s battle needs to be fought by a woman.
She looked at Jiang Zhengfang coldly and said, "How could I dare to covet the position of the Jiang Family Head’s wife? After all, Grandpa is still alive, I have a mother-in-law and a second aunt above me, peers with elder brother and sister-in-law, no matter how it won’t be our turn. Auntie, don’t pressure me with a heavy label, but you, as a daughter married off, come back and start scolding me and my mom without distinguishing right from wrong, what grudge do I have with you? Also, I want to know, in what capacity do you mock me, saying I’m unworthy to enter the Jiang Family’s door? Is it you personally, or the Jiang Family?"
As things escalated, Mu Yan remained the calmest, speaking clearly, and at this moment Jiang Zhengting felt her sister didn’t match up to a junior.
She frowned and said, "Enough, we’re all family, let’s sit down."
Jiang Zhengfang didn’t want to make peace, she said coldly, "What grudge can I have with you? I’m just speaking the truth, don’t insinuate that I’m not part of the Jiang Family anymore."
Mu Yan smiled slightly, "I’m not insinuating Auntie."
Her gaze fell on Jiang Zhengting, "May I ask if you have an unmarried sister-in-law in your household?"
Jiang Zhengting was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Yes."
Mu Yan asked, "Does your sister-in-law come back home and act domineering, trying to control the private matters of her nephew and his wife?"
Jiang Zhengting suddenly understood Mu Yan’s meaning, she couldn’t help but admire her a bit.
Indeed, the sister this time was meddling too much, after all, the ones who should be angry are Jingheng’s parents and grandfather, the sisters should just watch from the side.
Jiang Zhengfang was annoyed, "Who are you accusing of being domineering."
Qiu Shuyun half jokingly said, "Nuannuan, is this how you speak to your aunt? She is still your grandfather’s daughter after all."
Mu Yan smiled slightly, "Precisely because she is Grandpa’s daughter, having married out, hands shouldn’t reach back to the maiden family, it’s too lengthy and an eyesore."
"You really have a sharp tongue." Jiang Zhengfang’s anger rose, she gave Mu Yan a look and turned to Jiang Jingheng, "What, you’re not going to manage your wife, letting her insult me? You really are my good nephew!"
Jiang Jingheng looked at her with not a trace of warmth in his eyes, "I remember the first time I called you aunt, you said to me, you don’t have a nephew like me."
Jiang Zhengfang was taken aback; whether or not this happened she couldn’t recall, but seeing him like this, he clearly held a grudge.
She sneered, "What, do you resent your aunt now? I’m your elder!"
Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng both stayed silent, their aunts had a common problem, which was being self-important.
"Resent? How could our Jingheng dare, little sister, you are a Jiang Family lady, he’s merely an illegitimate child of mine and your elder brother, if he dared to resent you, tomorrow you could have him thrown out, wasn’t that what you did back then?" a mocking voice came from the staircase.
Mu Yan looked up to see Yin Manqing, whom she hadn’t seen in a while.
She was wearing high heels, seemingly having returned from outside like them, her face carried a smile, but her eyes were sharp and cold.
For some reason, Mu Yan felt she looked familiar now.
She turned her head to glance at Jiang Jingheng beside her, he really resembled his mom.
However, the atmosphere seemed to be growing increasingly strange.
