Chapter 699: Don’t Mess With Me

She also felt that it was too rushed and panicked.

Her father said, “Alright, stop complaining. You should be secretly happy to be able to find such a good son-in-law. Don’t pretend to be obedient after taking advantage of him. Old Madam Yu is a widow and her health isn’t good. Her eldest daughter-in-law is from a merchant family, so her upbringing definitely isn’t as good as ours. Yu Zongshen isn’t young anymore and is valued by the court. Old Madam Yu is anxious and wants to welcome our daughter into the family as soon as possible. It’s understandable. We’re about to become in-laws, so we have to understand each other.’

When her mother heard this, she tacitly agreed.

She listened from the side and felt that Yu Zongshen probably had her in his heart, so he was in a hurry to welcome her in.

But now that she thought about it, why would he have her in his heart?!

It was obvious that Yu Zongshen was infatuated with his eldest sister-in-law and refused to give up on her. Matriarch had no choice but to welcome her into the family as soon as possible to get married and have children so that she could calm down.

No wonder on the second day of their marriage, when she saw Madam Xie, her eldest sister-in-law, she had an inexplicable dislike for her. Perhaps there were more or less intuitions between love rivals!

Old Madam Yu had really planned it well!

After being married for more than ten years, Yu Zongshen was like cold water. Even after trying for more than ten years, he wouldn’t warm up. They couldn’t even quarrel. She had had enough of such cold treatment. She was powerless and sad.

Even when she had been wronged and returned to her maiden home, her mother and father had told her not to throw a tantrum and to tolerate it more.

Everyone thought that Yu Zongshen and her were loving without having a fight in ten years. They felt that she was lucky, but she herself knew best.

After more than ten years, she had gradually gotten used to the thin relationship between husband and wife and learned to accept it.

It wasn’t until today that she realized that she was just a joke.

Yu Zongshen was infatuated with his eldest sister-in-law and did not marry her willingly at all.

Madam Yao broke down and threw herself onto the bed, crying.

“Madam, what, what’s wrong? You’re fine. Why, why…” Nanny Qian was shocked and immediately panicked.

It was unknown what Eldest Madam Yang had said to Madam previously. Madam left in panic and returned to the Second Mansion in a daze. As soon as she entered the room, she dismissed the servants and sat on the edge of the bed, crying silently. Now, she was weeping like this…

The more Madam Yao thought about it, the more she broke down. She wiped her tears and ran out. “l can’t take this lying down. I have to ask Yu Zongshen.

After being married for so many years, what am I to him?!”

Second Master was not a husband who doted on others. Nanny Qian also knew that Madam felt aggrieved, and her heart ached for her. However, wasn’t calling him by his name a little too serious?

Which daughter-in-law of a wealthy family didn’t become a mother-in-law after ten years?

In her opinion, other than the fact that the clueless master did not dote on her, Madam’s life had been very good all these years.

There were not many people in the Yu Residence to begin with, so there were no messy matters. The family had split up long ago, and there were no mother-in-laws to manage it. There were also no sisters-in-law to keep an eye on it. As soon as they entered, they took charge of their small family, and their children also grew well.

Second Master was not greedy and lecherous. He had given Madam enough dignity. The concubines in the backyard were all chosen by Madam, and there were not many.

Which daughter-in-law in the capital was as happy as Madam?

Madam Yao ran all the way into the study and pushed open the door.

Yu Zongshen had just returned from the government office and was about to read the official doc.u.ments when he saw Madam Yao barge in with red eyes. He asked gently, “What’s going on?”

After seeing Yu Zongshen, Madam Yao’s head heated up and she suddenly calmed down. She chuckled, her eyes filled with cold mockery. “l accidentally heard a piece of news from the first branch today.” She laughed. Previously, she had only felt like she was about to break down, but now, she actually felt happy. “Someone was infatuated with Eldest Sister-in-law but couldn’t get her no matter what.’

The gentle smile on Yu Zongshen’s lips revealed a hint of bone-chilling coldness. “No matter where you heard this nonsense from, it has to rot into your stomach. You’re from a n.o.ble family, so you probably understand that it’s hearsay and indecent. You have to remember that women have three subserviences. When they get married, they follow their husbands. Women have four virtues. You have to choose your words, and you have to watch what you say.”

Madam Yao looked at him in disbelief.

Yu Zongshen did not deny it, nor did he feel ashamed. All he had was a warning to her.

But on what basis?

The person in the wrong was clearly him, Yu Zongshen. The person who had let her down was also him, Yu Zongshen, who was infatuated with his eldest sister-in-law, and the person who violated ethics!

What did she do wrong?!

Madam Yao completely broke down. “Yu Zongshen, do you still have any shame?”

Yu Zongshen chuckled. “Whether you get a divorce or continue to be Second Madam Yu, I respect your choice.” He chuckled again. “I’ll also arrange your future life so that you don’t have to worry. If you want to take the child away, I won’t stop you. If you don’t take him away, I’ll also raise him well.”

He was smiling, but Madam Yao felt her blood run cold. It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her head and she couldn’t help but shiver. Yu Zongshen had never cared about her, or even their three children.

Otherwise!

He wouldn’t say such a thing easily.

Madam Yao collapsed to the ground, unable to even cry. “Yu Zongshen, what have 1 done wrong? Why are you treating me like this? Why…”

How could a cold person grow old with her?

Yu Zongshen looked at her arrogantly. “Don’t provoke me, understand?”

Madam Yao shook her head as she cried. What did she know? She knew nothing. They had been husband and wife for more than ten years. Even if you raise a dog, wouldn’t you have developed feelings for it?

But what about Yu Zongshen?

It was fine if he didn’t care about her, but why shouldn’t he care about his children?

Yu Zongshen said calmly, “Get out!”

Madam Yao collapsed to the ground and did not move. She wanted to stand up and scream and curse, but it was as if she had exhausted all her strength. There was only deep helplessness and sorrow.

Yu Zongshen’s gaze was cold, but there was a smile on his lips. “Zongcheng, send Madam back.”

Zong Cheng, who was guarding outside the study, felt his heart tremble. He lowered his head and walked into the house, calling out, “Madam, Master is busy with work. I’ll send you back…”

Zong Cheng was Yu Zongshen’s follower and a proper member of the Yu Clan.

Yu Zongshen was top of the rankings and had a bright future ahead of him.

His followers had to be extremely cautious. The elders had chosen an ancestor from the clan, Zong Cheng, to stay by Yu Zongshen’s side and specially handled some secret and tricky matters for him.

Zong Chengs status in the residence was second only to Yu Zongshen’s.

Madam Yao did not have the face to make a fuss in front of her clan uncle. She gritted her teeth and pushed her limp body up. However, she could not exert any strength, and her legs were soft and numb. As soon as she stood up, she was on the verge of collapse. Zong Cheng, who was standing at the side, subconsciously reached out to help her up. However, before his hand could reach her, he retracted it.

Madam Yao felt dizzy. She supported her limp body and staggered out of the study.

Zong Cheng followed behind her in silence..
