The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 765 Receiving the Invitation
"Master, the Su family has sent an invitation, inviting you to attend Old Madam Su's birthday banquet in five days, along with your eldest daughter and eldest daughter-in-law."

During the day, when Tong Huaqiong went to the fur market to investigate, the Su family sent someone to deliver an invitation to Tong Huaqiong.

She had just returned home when Su Qing presented the invitation to her.

Tong Huaqiong was puzzled. Although Gu Taohua and Su Chengmin were engaged, they only interacted with the Min family and had no dealings with the Su family.

What's more, she even chased Su Shihang away with a dog-beating stick, and Nie Xiaofeng even made Su Shihang faint.

The Su family has been quiet these past few days, and has not impeached Nie Xiaofeng in the imperial court.

Su Shihang was in the wrong from the start. He went to the woman's house to break off the engagement and was beaten. No one would sympathize with him if he told others, and it would only give the Su family something to talk about.

Su Shihang had no choice but to swallow it!
Tong Huaqiong thought that her interactions with the Su family had come to an end, but unexpectedly, the old lady of the Su family sent her an invitation.

The post was written in a very polite manner. First, it expressed the Su family's apology for not attending the engagement of Su Chengmin and Gu Taohua. Then, to make up for the apology, it invited Tong Huaqiong to visit the Su family.

Tong Huaqiong held the post in deep thought.

The Su family absolutely has to go this time.

I only found out the Su family's intentions after I got there.

Before going there, Tong Huaqiong visited the Min family, mainly to learn more about what kind of person Grandma Su was through Grandma Min's words.

If we're talking about understanding Old Mrs. Su better than Old Mrs. Min, then no one knows her better.

"That old hag is hard-hearted and ruthless. She's dissatisfied with both Madam Lu and Baozhen. In her eyes, her son is the best in the world, and no one else is good enough for him. I reckon she's up to no good by sending you this invitation."

Grandma Min harbored deep hatred for Grandma Su, and immediately began to berate her.

"How about this, I'll go on her birthday too, and see what kind of evil spirit that old hag is up to."

This old hag has been making things difficult for Min Baozhen in every way, and now she wants to interfere in her grandson's marriage.

no way.

Grandma Min didn't receive an invitation, but that didn't stop her from barging into the Su residence.

I imagine that Grandma Su will be pleasantly surprised to see her uninvited mother-in-law.

Grandma Min instantly unleashed her full fighting spirit.

Before we knew it, it was Grandma Su's birthday.

Tong Huaqiong led Gu Taohua, Chen Sufen, Liu Yue'e, Man'er, and others to the Su residence.

Several carriages were blocking the entrance to the Su residence, and there seemed to be a commotion.

what's the situation?
Tong Huaqiong had no choice but to order the carriage to stop.

“My daughter was a lawfully wedded wife of the Su family. Even though she’s gone, her memorial tablet is still in the Su family ancestral hall. Who dares to stop me when I come to my daughter’s house? Ask Su Shihang if he dares to disown me as his mother-in-law!”

A strong, resonant voice came through, and Tong Huaqiong recognized it as Old Madam Min.

Tong Huaqiong poked her head out of the carriage and saw the Min family's carriage parked in front of the door, blocking the way. Old Mrs. Min was blocking the doorway like a fighting hen.

Grandma Min is personally battling with the doorman.

Grandma Min's fighting spirit is off the charts.

It seems the Su family is terrified of Old Madam Min, as the gatekeeper automatically blocks anyone who comes near.

"Our old lady said that we only receive people with invitations; those without invitations will not be received," the doorman said.

"A letter? Let me tell you, I can come and go as I please in the Su family. Do I need an invitation? Even though my daughter is gone, she is still the mistress of the Su family. It's not up to anyone else to make decisions in the Su family. Go ask Su Shihang whether he wants this marriage with our Min family, or whether our Min family wants to get rid of this marriage with the Su family?"

“If Su Shihang admits in person that he doesn’t acknowledge the marriage with the Min family, then fine, we’ll publicly sever ties in front of so many people in Shengjing, so that Su Shihang won’t keep bringing up the fact that the Min family is his in-laws. Let Su Shihang come out and say it himself, I’ll be waiting for him here.”

Grandma Min sat calmly in the carriage, her voice clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Now everyone knows that Old Mrs. Su did not send an invitation to Old Mrs. Min's birthday banquet, and that Old Mrs. Min came uninvited.

Everyone in Shengjing knew about the entanglement between the Su and Min families. The reason why Old Madam Su, as a representative of the tough and ruthless, always lost in the struggles with Old Madam Min was because Su Shihang was able to rise rapidly in the court thanks to his connection with the powerful General's brother-in-law.

Even now, Su Shihang is not as prestigious in the court as the mighty General.

Su Shihang inevitably felt inferior in front of the Min family, which also made Old Madam Su feel inferior to Old Madam Min.

Every time after Old Mrs. Su and Old Mrs. Min had a fight, Su Shihang would go to the Min family to apologize on behalf of his elderly mother.

Old Mrs. Min turned the carriage sideways and refused to move.

She wouldn't even step into the Su family home unless Su Shihang personally came to invite her.

Old Mrs. Min arrived early, and, wanting to embarrass the Su family, she was so angered by the gatekeeper that she sat down at the door and refused to leave.

She knew perfectly well that the gatekeeper was a bully who relied on his master's power; he was either backed by Old Madam Su or Madam Lu.

She wanted to see if Su Shihang would come out and invite her.

Old Mrs. Min's carriage was blocking the entrance to the Su family's house, preventing other carriages from entering and forcing them to wait outside.

As more and more people came to offer their birthday wishes, half the street was filled with horse-drawn carriages.

"You old hag. Of all times to come, you have to come today, just to make things difficult for me on my birthday."

After hearing the servant's description, Old Madam Su was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"She's blocking the door? Let her block it then."

Once Grandma Su's stubbornness flared up, she would argue with Grandma Min without any regard for the consequences.

Despite losing every time, he keeps challenging himself.

The old woman beside Old Madam Su persuaded her to change her mind for the sake of Su Chengmin's reputation and invited Old Madam Min into the mansion.

"Why should I care about his reputation? He is a descendant of the Su family, yet he is completely devoted to the Min family. Today, I will make him choose between his own grandmother and the maternal grandmother from the fourth branch of the family." Old Mrs. Su took her anger out on her eldest grandson.

The old woman's attempts to persuade Old Madam Su failed, so she had no choice but to go and discuss the matter with Madam Lu.

Upon hearing the news, Lady Lu looked worried but felt relieved.

She had instructed the gatekeeper not to receive guests without an invitation from the Su family, mainly targeting the Min family. If the gatekeeper let Old Madam Min in and ruined Old Madam Su's birthday banquet, the gatekeeper would be held responsible.

The gatekeeper dared not take responsibility.

Grandma Su's birthday banquet is a major event for the entire family. If it is ruined by Grandma Min, no one can bear the consequences.

This was the lady deliberately reminding the gatekeeper to keep the Min family out of the house.

From the moment Lu sent the invitation to Tong Huaqiong, she was certain that Tong Huaqiong would consult with Old Madam Min. Old Madam Min was determined to personally attend the Su family's birthday banquet for the sake of Su Chengmin and Gu Taohua's marriage.

The more Old Mrs. Min and Old Mrs. Su clashed, the more Old Mrs. Su disliked the Min family.

The more disgusted Old Madam Su was with the Min family, the less likely she was to accept the marriage arranged for Su Chengmin by Old Madam Min and the mighty General.

So the more smoothly she and Lu Yin'er plotted against Su Chengmin today, the better.

"Madam, what should we do about Old Madam Min? Should we let her in or not?"

After the old woman beside Madam Su left, the servants came to ask Madam Lu for advice.

Grandma Min remained motionless, blocking half the street.

"What does the old lady say now?" Madam Lu asked.

"The old lady naturally didn't want the Min family to come in."

"Then of course we'll listen to the old lady."

Mrs. Lu's face was full of smiles.
