Jiang Wanmo gently pulled on Wen Jiuniang's clothes, and the two of them stopped at a distance from each other. Bi Lü turned around with a smile, handed the child in her arms to Fang Zhengniang who was trying to retreat into the courtyard, and whispered something to her. Fang Zhengniang took the child and quickly walked into the courtyard. Bi Lü turned around and walked closer to the young woman, smiling as she said several words. The woman smiled and waved at the people surrounding them, saying: "The two families are just playing around, everyone can disperse now."

  The crowd dispersed, and Jiang Wanruo and Wen Jiuniang, who were looking out at the greenery beyond the crowd, were about to greet each other when they saw Jiang Wanruo shaking her head slightly and pointing to the gate of the Shang family's courtyard. She smiled faintly and nodded slightly. Jiang Wanruo put down Jiang Lanyu from her arms, held Wen Jiuniang's small hand, and said to her: "I'm going to talk to Mingzi about Feiyang, he's too much trouble for Mingzi." Wen Jiuniang smiled and put down Shang Mingyi, letting the little boy tightly hold onto Jiang Lanyu's other small hand.

  Wen Jiuniang smiled and said to Jiang Wanyu, "Let Mingzi Shu go and bother him, you just let them be. You come with me and we'll continue talking. Later when we return to the capital, there won't be such leisure time for us to chat together." Jiang Wanyu heard this and smiled slightly. Today's incident at the courtyard gate had caused such a big commotion, Bi Lü would definitely tell Fang Zhengniang about it in detail. Jiang Wanyu didn't want to get involved in other people's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, she only wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of flowers blooming under the moonlight.

  Jiang Wanru and Wen Jiuniang entered the room, and the two of them naturally put the child on the couch. Wen Jiuniang whispered a few words to the maid who was following behind her, and that maid left the room with a smile. In the house, Wen Jiuniang smiled at Jiang Wanru: "Bi Lü is straightforward in doing things, but her mother-in-law seems a bit petty." Jiang Wanru smiled, Bi Lü grew up in a wealthy family, although she didn't have the skills of a woman from a humble background, such as being good at quarreling and competing, but she had definitely mastered the art of pretending to be peaceful.

  Jiang Wanmu sighed, thinking that Fang Zheng's sharp eyes had chosen Bi Lu as his wife, bringing harmony to the family. For a businessman, the most important thing is to make money with a harmonious atmosphere. Bi Lu handled things in a gentle and measured manner, indeed the best candidate for a virtuous wife and good mother. The maid who was sent out smiled and entered the room, under Wen Jiuniang's indication, she said with a smile: "No wonder others come to provoke trouble, it's really because Fang Dainai speaks and acts in a way that is too irritating. Others' mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law get along well, but she has to complain about others' daughters-in-law not doing their job, not serving her mother-in-law three meals a day standing up."

  Originally, Fang Zheng's mother-in-law was proud of her obedient and gentle daughter-in-law, and she would often boast about her authority as a mother-in-law in front of other women. These were all small matters, and everyone would just compliment her a few times before going back to their usual lives. But unexpectedly, Fang Zheng's mother-in-law took it very seriously and even started giving advice on how to train one's daughter-in-law when others humbly said that their own daughters-in-law were not good.

  Jiang Wanru and Wen Jiuniang looked at each other in dismay, no wonder someone's daughter-in-law would come to their doorstep to argue. No matter how good someone else's life is, they can't withstand people who intentionally or unintentionally stir up trouble, especially when it comes to the relationship between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. Generally speaking, people prefer fewer conflicts rather than more. This young woman was unusually eloquent, she smiled and said: "Actually, Liu Niangzi came to talk to Fang's eldest daughter-in-law, hoping that she wouldn't speak too much and affect their relationship between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. But unexpectedly, Fang's eldest daughter-in-law saw Liu Niangzi as easy to talk to and suddenly scolded others for being unfilial."

  Jiang Wanru's face turned red as she listened, and she couldn't help but cover her face with her hand. The maid was about to continue speaking when she saw Wen Jiuniang shaking her head, so she smiled and changed the subject: "Madam Liu has a quick temper, so it's no wonder they got into an argument. Madam Liu grew up on this street, and many passersby joined in to help mediate. Just then, Fang Xiaoni came out carrying her child, smiling as she greeted everyone with a sentence, and then smiled as she whispered something to Madam Liu. Madam Liu's expression immediately softened. Who would have thought that Fang Xiaoni had this skill, able to calm down Madam Liu so quickly?

  Wen Jiuniang glanced at Jiang Wanru, who had put down her hand, and said with a smile: "What are you ashamed of for others?" She waved to the maids in the house and said: "Master Feiyang has been staying at Mingzi Shu's place for a long time. One of you go bring him back." "One person goes to the kitchen and says that I want to keep Madam Jiang and her three children for dinner." "And one person goes to Madam Jiang's courtyard and tells Lao Cangtou that Madam Jiang is staying at the Shang family for dinner." "Yes." The maids in the house retreated instantly.

  Inside the house, there were only the voices of two children quarreling. Wen Jiuniang took a glance at Jiang Wanyu and said straightforwardly: "Xiao Lan, let those two women go and make trouble on their own. You don't need to be a good person or a bad person, anyway, in such matters, good people and bad people are all the same." Jiang Wanyu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, pointing at Wen Jiuniang and saying: "Jiuniang, I only knew today that you're actually quite cunning. Usually, you've been deceived into thinking you're a straightforward person." Wen Jiuniang lightly slapped her hand away, scolding: "I'm helping you with your affairs, yet you still speak ill of me."

  Jiang Wanmu lightly grasped Wen Jiuniang's hand, quickly releasing it. After a flash of emotions in her eyes, she sighed and said to Wen Jiuniang: "Thank you for treating me so well, apart from my sworn brother and sister-in-law, and the nanny's family, no one has treated me as well as you. In the past, when I had free time, I always felt that life was endless and long, and didn't know why I should continue living. Now with a pair of children, and having a friend like you who understands me, I feel that in the future, there may be more things worth looking forward to."

  Jiuniang's eyes showed a clear look of surprise, but she still opened her mouth to comfort her: "Your mother's family is just temporarily angry with your identity as a concubine. You are blood relatives, and after some time has passed, there won't be so many concerns. Go back and bring the children to lower their heads, and everything will pass. They're not worried about you having a hard life, and they even gave you two shops?" Jiang Wanru knew that Jiuniang had misunderstood, and she smiled lightly: "Jiuniang, those two shops were bought by me in secret, without telling my mother's family. I think they still don't know that I have two shops."

  Jiang Wanruo originally didn't want to mention old matters, but unfortunately current events always bring up past ones. After returning to the capital, she wanted to live a peaceful life, but didn't know if fate would allow her to do so. Jiang Wanruo saw the incredulity in Wen Jiuniang's eyes - in this era, one's natal family was the most reliable place for every woman to rely on. Wen Jiuniang now secretly suspected her, and once this suspicion grew into a knot, it would be difficult to untangle in the future. She wanted to get along well with Wen Jiuniang for a long time, so she couldn't continue to hide and only say half-truths.

  Jiang Wanru gritted her teeth, thought for a moment, and then smiled frankly at Wen Jiuniang: "Jiuniang, you're not an outsider to me either. Rather than saying that after many years you'll come to know some things, which would affect our relationship, I'd rather tell you as much as I can today. Except for names and titles, everything I'm about to say is straightforward. You can listen and then decide whether we should continue being friends like this or not."

  Jiang Wanru didn't wait for Wen Jiuniang to dissuade her, she lightly said: "My birth mother fell in love with my father back then, disregarding the opposition from our family and entering his household. As a result, her natal family cut ties with her. My father probably didn't have much affection for my mother either, plus my father's family thought my mother's behavior was shameful. I'm just an illegitimate daughter, and I've also severed any possibility of reconciliation between the two families, so it's only natural that I've been disliked since birth."

  My birth mother died early, and after I got married, I promised to marry the person arranged by my elders. On the day of the wedding, I returned all the dowry. My ex-husband's family welcomed me, a woman who didn't match their door or household, only to use me as a scapegoat for their troubles. Once the disaster passed, I couldn't stay and humiliate their legitimate son. Ninth Sister, if there were no children, in this world, there would be only one person left - me.

  I originally wanted to stay in Zhongnan for a few days, and then wander around. I didn't expect fate would give me such great joy, and I received the most precious gift of my life."

  Jiang Wanru's words were light, but Wen Jiuniang's eyes showed a hint of distress. Jiang Wanru smiled at Wen Jiuniang, who was stunned, and listened to the sound of Jiang Feiyang's shouts outside. She stood up, hugged Jiang Lanyu, and said with a smile: "Jiuniang, Lanyu's marriage is still reversible for your family. In the past, I didn't mention it because I thought my daughter was worthy of a good family. Now that you've heard me say this, you should understand that my daughter has no other relatives to rely on except for me and her brother."

  Jiang Wanmu finished speaking and walked out of the room with a relaxed expression, holding her daughter's hand. Outside, she took her son's hand and said to the maid next to Wen Jiuniang, "Our master has something to attend to, so we won't stay for dinner." The three of them left the Jiang family's courtyard with smiles and laughter, leaving Wen Jiuniang sitting in the room, listening to her son calling out "Lanlan". She had a look of struggle on her face. What Jiang Wanmu said was too shocking for her; in this era, women without a natal family couldn't imagine how many people could live as freely as Jiang Wanmu.

  Shang Wu's husband rushed back to the house and asked the maids to bring down Shang Ming Shi. He opened his mouth and asked, "Did you have a fight with Jiang Niang Zi? Did she make you angry?" Wen Jiu Niang looked at her husband and her racing heart finally calmed down. She spoke in a low voice, trying to probe: "Shi Er is the eldest son of the legitimate wife, lazy and good in every way, but our family's social status is too low. Won't you and your parents mind?" Shang Wu smiled and looked at her, saying: "Our family values virtue when marrying a daughter-in-law. Looking at Jiang Niang Zi's behavior, she doesn't seem like someone from a humble background. Lazy will be taught well in the future. Jiang Niang Zi is just temporarily estranged from her natal family, but with time, there will come a day when they'll reconnect."

  "Sir, I have a request to make of you. No matter what happens, the engagement between Shier and Laziness must not be changed." Wen Jiuniang's husband looked at her with a puzzled expression, nodding his head. "This engagement has already been arranged, why are you suddenly saying this?" Wen Jiuniang let out a light sigh and repeated Jiang Wenyu's words to him. After listening, her husband's expression turned solemn for a moment before he patted his wife's hand reassuringly. "I thought it was something big, but it's just this small matter? Worth worrying about? Laziness doesn't have a maternal or paternal family, she'll be marrying into our family, won't that give her everything?"

  Wen Jiuniang listened to Shang Wu's simple words and immediately showed a relaxed smile on her face, laughing and saying: "Husband, I was thinking too much. Xiaolan doesn't have any relatives from her mother's side, isn't she just my good friend and close relative?"
