Chapter 5541: Chapter 5541: Lower the Face

"With such behavior, even Qin Dingbo, who is not usually fussy, found his illegitimate son’s conduct inappropriate. He scowled and sternly said, ’What nonsense! Sit down and quietly eat your own meal!’"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family immediately stood up to smooth things over, "Old Madam, Old Master, our family would like to toast you both."

Eldest son Qin Dinghai stood up, leading his family in toasting and sending blessings to the elderly, thus bringing the atmosphere back to normal.

Madam Qin eyed her sister-in-law’s family, especially the distinguished daughter-in-law, and thought of her own son, who favored a little vixen who had nothing but her pretty face to charm people, making her inexplicably irritated.

Seeing this, Qin Ying wanted to roll her eyes at her own mother.

Here it goes again!

As if not marrying a wife from a high-status family was a disservice to her and the whole family!

Grandpa and Grandma didn’t harbor such high-status views; why did her "madam" care so much!

Before preparing gifts for the Fu family, Madam Qin, clinging to Old Madam Qin’s arm, whispered, "Old Madam, Dingkang and I saw Miss Ye, who you like, at Dan Gui Garden early this morning. She was even running with Li Jinnian. Maybe you’ll see her later."

"Isn’t she Commander Xia’s Little Six’s girlfriend? Why was she at Dan Gui Garden looking for Li Jinnian so early in the morning? Even if she was paying a New Year’s visit to elders, she should have gone to Commander Xia’s residence first. It baffles me how these young girls behave nowadays."

Old Madam Qin frowned imperceptibly. After so many years, couldn’t she see through her daughter-in-law? No wonder she suggested visiting the Fu family early during dinner with such enthusiasm; so this was what it was all about.

Even now, she whispered these instigations by her ear, thinking her an old fool, blind to her motives.

Her intentions were very clear, obviously targeting Ye Jian.

On New Year’s Day, she was brewing trouble!

Initially, she thought her daughter-in-law was merely too concerned with family status, and favored Xiu because Ye Jian was with Commander Xia’s Little Six, which left her uncomfortable.

But now, it seemed she was utterly confused.

To set out to slap Ye Jian on the face on New Year’s Day—oh, she just didn’t know who would end up being slapped instead.

Old Madam Qin felt her daughter-in-law needed to learn a lesson.

Then she thought, after all, it was the New Year’s Day, the very start of the year. If something unfortunate happened, it would make both families unhappy. Should the families become estranged over this, it would be a great loss.

After all, she was the granddaughter of Old Man Xia, the very traditional granddaughter of the Fu family. To provoke her like this on New Year’s Day, decades of friendship might just be diluted.

Forget it, it’s better not to go! There would be other opportunities to teach her a lesson later.

"You are biased against Ye Jian, and if she is indeed at the Fu family, your visit will not end well. Let’s do this. Let Dingkang and the others take Xiu and some of the younger generation for a visit. You, stay with me and take better care of your dad at home."

Old Master Qin had only been discharged from the hospital a few days ago; it was cold outside, and even though it was just a few hundred meters from the Qin family to the Fu family, the family did not feel assured letting him go to the Fu family. They left their eldest daughter-in-law and the reserved Qin Yi to care for him.

Old Madam Qin didn’t openly rebuke Madam Qin in front of the younger generation. Instead, she discreetly made arrangements and kept Madam Qin close to her side, preventing her from doing anything foolish.
