“What’s wrong with that? It’s just a few servants! If she’s not willing to scram, I’m not willing to ask her to scram! What’s there to be conflicted about?”


  Lou Ruoyi had long held her breath. Yuan Sichun’s words had hit the nail on the head!

  Lou Ruoyi vented her anger.

  Shen Fanxing almost burst out laughing when she heard that.

  Madam Chen’s face turned red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

  As long as the people present were not fools, they could tell that Lou Ruoyi’s words were directed at Madam Chen!

  The servants looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence.

  Madam Chen blushed and Yuan Sichun was at a loss.

  “Auntie, you…”


  Madam Chen’s eyes reddened with grievance. She pulled Yuan Sichun back and sighed.

  “Miss Yuan, don’t say anything. Otherwise, you’ll be implicated by Auntie Zhang again. Madam is throwing a tantrum at me! Sigh, no matter how hard we work for this family, we’re still servants!”


  Lou Ruoyi rolled her eyes at Madam Chen’s sarcastic complaint.

  Shen Fanxing’s expression was cold. Seeing that Lou Ruoyi was really angered this time, she stood up and faced Madam Chen.

  He said coldly,

  Updates by

  “What else? She still wants to treat you as her family? You get the salary given by the Bo family every month. The Bo family takes care of everything. If she can’t buy your hard work, why would the Bo family need you?”


  Mother Chen couldn’t help but blush as she looked at her. “You…”


  “Sister-in-law, Mother Chen has always done her best to take care of the Bo family and Grandpa. How can she be an innocent servant? Even if she gets her salary every month, shouldn’t she deserve it?”


  “She deserves it! She worked hard and the Bo family gave her money! It’s just an equivalent exchange! Does everyone in the Bo family have masochistic tendencies? Did they specially spend a high price to invite her here to cause trouble?”


  Yuan Sichun’s face twitched. This woman’s mouth…


  “Mother Chen has been with the Bo family for more than forty years…”


  “She’s a servant who has received a high salary from the Bo family for more than 40 years!” Shen Fanxing emphasized sternly. Then, her gaze landed on Madam Chen, who was wiping her tears aggrievedly. Her face was cold as she said, “You’re using your 40 years of work to flaunt your seniority? Should I set up an ancestral hall to support her?”


  Madam Chen had finally witnessed how difficult it was to provoke Shen Fanxing. Her glib tongue had rendered everyone speechless.

  Yuan Sichun suddenly had a feeling!

  She was here to be tortured by Shen Fanxing!

  They had only met for less than two minutes and she had already insulted him!

  If she said one sentence, no, half a sentence, she would retort with ten sentences.

  “You…”


  It wasn’t until Shen Fanxing stopped for a few seconds and the living room fell into an awkward silence that she knew what to say.

  After pondering for a long time, she said in a daze, “… I know you don’t like me, but you don’t have to vent your anger on unrelated people!”


  Shen Fanxing sneered and said, “Haven’t I said anything to you since the moment you entered?”


  Yuan Sichun choked and rolled her eyes. On second thought, she didn’t think so.

  She glanced at Lou Ruoyi, who was sitting on the sofa with a dark expression. She pursed her lips and took a few seconds to adjust her thoughts. Thinking of her mother’s instructions before she came, she said kindly,

  “I don’t have any other intentions. It’s just that I’ve been staying with the Bo family since I was young. Madam Chen takes good care of me and I can’t help but side with her. But no matter what, Sister-in-law, you’re too hostile.”


  In all these years in the Bo family, Madam Chen had never been treated like this. She knew some things very well. There was no need for her to be taught a lesson by us juniors at her age…


  She knew some things?

  Shen Fanxing sneered inwardly.

  Clear about what?

  Was Yuan Sichun the one who was worthy of entering the Bo family?

  Her face was calm and she smiled calmly.

  “The matter isn’t overboard. I can choose not to fuss about it, but I should have a ruler in my heart to measure myself at any time! If you want others to think of you, that’s their business. Don’t think that you’re just a servant, but you treat yourself as half a master. In the end, you’re the one who’s dissatisfied with me. I don’t like you! I hate you, but I still have the right to punish you!”


  “…” “…”


  “…”


  This last sentence was meant to anger people to death!

  Mother Chen’s words were stuck in her throat. She couldn’t swallow or spit it out.

  Lou Ruoyi heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing how Shen Fanxing had rendered her speechless, she felt great.

  Standing up, the gloominess on her face gradually dissipated. She raised her chin and concluded—


  “My daughter-in-law is right!”


  “…”


  “…”


  Tears streamed down Mother Chen’s face, but she didn’t dare to say anything.

  Yuan Sichun pulled her to a corner of the villa.

  “Mother Chen, I’m sorry. I really can’t get along with Sister-in-law Shen. I think I’m more or less the reason why she treated you like that today. I’ve implicated you.”


  Madam Chen wiped her tears and grabbed Yuan Sichun’s hand, looking indignant.

  Madam Chen understood you. I’ve watched you grow up. Of course I can tell how you feel about Young Master. If it wasn’t for this Shen woman, you would have been with Young Master. Miss Yuan, are you still unable to let go of Young Master?”


  Hearing Mother Chen’s words, a bitter expression appeared on Yuan Sichun’s face.

  “Mother Chen… How could I… let go just like that… My only dream since I was young was to be with Brother Bo one day. All these years, this thought had never stopped. When I found out that Brother Bo was suddenly with her, I really… wanted to die…”


  It was true that she was infatuated with Bo Jinchuan. It was also true that she had hoped for him for so many years. It was inevitable that she would reveal her true feelings when she spoke of sad things.

  Madam Chen’s heart ached.

  She patted Yuan Sichun’s hand and said, “It’s a pity that Mother Chen is weak and can’t help you…”


  Yuan Sichun suddenly grabbed Mother Chen’s hand and said pitifully, “Mother Chen, I don’t want to give up on Brother Bo…”


  “Huh?” Mother Chen looked at Yuan Sichun in surprise…


  –


  When they entered the house, Mother Chen walked silently to Lou Ruoyi and asked obediently,

  “Madam, what time do you plan to have dinner tonight? I’ll make arrangements.”


  Lou Ruoyi didn’t look at her. She turned to Shen Fanxing, who was trimming the flowers, and asked,

  “Fanxing, is Jinchuan working overtime tonight? When will he be back?”


  “I haven’t heard of any special circumstances. She should be home at a normal time.”
