Soon, some people found out about what happened in the Monument of Heroes.
In one of the luxurious manors, a group of rich ladies of different ages were having a tea party. Their expressions changed when they heard the news.
"Mother, what should we do now?" One of the young ladies, who was in her thirties or forties, looked at a gentle-looking lady sitting in the front seat. She was confused. Her Jin 'er had finally been released from his confinement. Why did he cause trouble again?
"Jin 'er is too much. How can he cause trouble for the Lan family at this time?" The other woman was also in her thirties or forties. She was a few years older than the one who spoke first. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of worry appeared on her gentle face.
"You can't blame Jin 'er. It's the Ling family's fault. They're too arrogant." An upper-class lady with a mean appearance had an expression of indignation on her face. She had some resentment towards Ling Lan's group who insisted on challenging her.
"Fourth Brother's wife, how can you say that?" A lady, who was in her forties or fifties, sat in the front seat. She had a stern and strict expression on her face. Her expression darkened when she heard this.
"I'm sorry, Auntie. I was too rash." The lady immediately stood up. She suppressed her anger and lowered her head to admit her mistake. However, when she lowered her head, a hint of hatred flashed through her eyes.
"Old Madam said that the Lan family can't use the Old Master's power to cause trouble." The stern lady snorted. "But you all ignored it. Look at how much you spoiled Jin 'er."
The young ladies lowered their heads. They didn't dare to say anything.
The gentle-looking noblewoman who was also sitting at the head of the table said, "Sister-in-law, the children also feel sorry for the three remaining seedlings of our Lan family … Jin 'er is still young and hasn't settled down yet. The way he does things is indeed a little unorthodox, but he hasn't made any big mistakes. It'll be fine if we slowly guide him to correct his mistakes. However, Jin 'er and Ying' er are still good, especially Ying 'er. Even the Old Master can't stop praising her. "
The stern lady's expression softened when she talked about Ying 'er. "At least he didn't embarrass the Lan family. As for Jin 'er, he had no choice but to accept this challenge. At that moment, he couldn't refuse, so you can't blame him. "
A faint smile also appeared on the beautiful lady's face. There was nothing happier than praising her own grandchild.
"However, that Ling family is still our …" a cold noblewoman who had been silent and distant from the rest of the group suddenly spoke up.
"Seventh Sister, that's a vile spawn." On the other side, the noble lady with a hint of viciousness immediately shouted angrily when she heard this.
"It's been so long. You still can't let it go?" the cold lady replied coldly.
"Put it down? Bah! That bitch and I are irreconcilable. " "If you hadn't stopped me, I would've killed that bastard a thousand times over, and none of these terrible things would've happened afterwards. Also, so what if Jin 'er scolded Ling Xiao? It's Ling Xiao's fault for being so blind. He didn't want to marry a proper princess of the Lan family and insisted on marrying that bastard spawn … "
The harsh lady sitting below also had a look of indignation on her face. "Mother is right. Back then, Ling Xiao righteously rejected Ninth Sister's marriage and married that bastard spawn. He didn't put the Lan family in his eyes at all. Didn't the Old Master get angry for a long time because of this?"
"Fourth Sister's wife, you must be careful with your words and actions." The gentle lady who had been sitting silently on the upper seat finally couldn't stand it anymore and reminded her.
The harsh lady's face turned pale. Although she was dissatisfied, the Lan family had always been particular about rules. She could only stand up and bow her head in apology. "Yes, Fourth Aunt."
"What are you being careful about? What are you being careful about? " Seeing that her daughter-in-law was being reprimanded, the anger in the heart of the ruthless noblewoman exploded. "I know that all of you have been on the side of that slut since the beginning. Now, you are still standing on the side of that slut's bastard …"
"Third Sister-in-law." The strict lady suddenly shouted. The harsh lady suddenly felt her mind clear up.
"You're tired. Fourth Sister's wife, help your mother back to rest." The strict lady turned around and said to the harsh lady.
"Yes, First Aunt." The harsh lady didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. The First Aunt was in charge of the entire Lan family. If she really angered the First Aunt, she and her mother-in-law would definitely suffer.
Seeing the two of them leave, the strict lady glared at the cold lady. "Little Seven, why did you bring up the Ling family for no reason?"
"I'm just reminding you that the Ling family is our Lan family's blood relatives." The cold lady replied in a tone that was neither arrogant nor humble.
"You don't know your third sister-in-law. This is her inner demon." The strict lady sighed.
"So, you're just going to let the real Lan family's blood wander outside?" The cold lady sneered.
"I know you and Third Sister have been close since you were young, but no one can tell who's right or wrong in this matter …" The strict lady said helplessly.
The cold lady's mouth moved, but in the end, she didn't say what she wanted to say. She stood up and said, "Don't invite me to gatherings like this in the future. Just seeing those two annoys me."
"Little Seven, that's your third sister-in-law after all." The gentle lady beside her couldn't help but try to persuade her.
The cold lady sneered. "Only the one who receives Third Brother's approval can be my third sister-in-law. She's not worthy." After saying this, she turned around and left arrogantly.
The younger generation lowered their heads and held their breaths. Even though they knew that their Seventh Aunt and Third Aunt didn't get along well, they didn't expect their relationship to be so bad. It was so bad that Seventh Aunt didn't even acknowledge the other party as her third sister-in-law.
They felt as if they had found out something big. However, they also knew that they couldn't be too curious about this kind of thing. Otherwise, they would be in big trouble.
Seeing that the cold lady didn't give them any face and directly left, the three people at the top couldn't do anything. They could only shake their heads and sigh. They waved their hands and let the younger generation leave.
"This Little Seven has been spoiled by Mother." The second sister-in-law, who was the gentle lady with a compassionate face, said helplessly.
"Back then … Third Brother suffered." The strict lady was the eldest sister-in-law. She knew very well what happened back then that created this ill-fated relationship that shouldn't have existed.
"Little Seven was raised by Third Brother since she was young. In her heart, she loves and respects Third Brother more than Old Master Lan. The reason why she didn't want to marry was because she wanted to protect Third Brother's bloodline … After all these years, she really suffered." The second sister-in-law sighed.
"However, Third Sister is Third Sister after all. In terms of morality, Third Sister can stand up for herself. We can't say much. I hope Little Seven can think it through." The gentle lady ranked fourth didn't know much about some of the things that happened. In her opinion, since Third Sister married into the Lan Family legitimately, she had to respect her. As for the other … she didn't have a status, so it was better not to mention it.
