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

Chapter 767 There's no chance of meeting again in the future.
Grandma Min wished she could scratch Su Shihang to death.

When Su Shihang arrived in front of the carriage, he rolled his eyes and ignored him completely.

What's wrong with her? Does she really not give Su Shihang any face?

It is said that one should leave a way out for others, so that they may meet again in the future.

Old Mrs. Min understands her son-in-law Su Shihang. No matter what her attitude towards Su Shihang is, he will be the first to come and kick the Min family if they fall into trouble.

Since that's the case, she'll take advantage of the moment when the mighty general can keep Su Shihang in check and seize the opportunity to manipulate him.

She and Su Shihang would never have the chance to meet again.

Tong Huaqiong's carriage was right behind the Min family's carriage, and she could clearly hear Su Shihang and Old Madam Min's conversation.

Moreover, Old Mrs. Min didn't lower her voice at all.

Su Shih-hang apologized immediately.

While drinking her tea, Grandma Min said to Su Shihang, "Mother-in-law? I dare not acknowledge you as my son-in-law."

Su Shihang just kept smiling and placating him.

Hopefully, Old Mrs. Min will quickly back down.

So many people are watching.

It won't look good if this gets out of hand.

"It is my fault for not being a good host, which has caused you to suffer today. I apologize to you and will accept any punishment you may give me."

Following behind, Madam Lu bowed and apologized.

"Grandma, please don't be angry. It's all my fault. I was busy inside and didn't know you were coming, so I didn't tell the gatekeeper in time. I apologize to you. I'll send the gatekeeper back to the estate right away."

Grandma Min didn't even glance at Madam Lu, only sneered at Su Shihang: "You still acknowledge me as your mother-in-law? I can't accept that title. Isn't your family surnamed Lu?"

Su Shihang said with a forced smile, "Mother-in-law, you are joking. My in-laws will always be the Min family."

Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth.

Su Shihang has always looked down on the Lu family for being hunters, and even now he doesn't acknowledge the Lu family.

Min Baozhen had long since died, but her shadow still lingered in the mansion.

She was the one who married Su Shihang first.

Grandma Min gave a cold smile.

Old Mrs. Min knew she shouldn't be pointing her gun at Madam Lu, but Madam Lu was not innocent at all during the years that Min Baozhen suffered.

She has done plenty of things like fanning the flames, deliberately provoking, and sowing discord.

On the contrary, Min Baozhen empathized with her being abandoned by the successful Su Shihang and didn't care about her provocations.

But in Lu's eyes, Min Baozhen was easy to bully, which emboldened her to become increasingly arrogant.

During the time Min Baozhen was ill, Madam Lu didn't even pretend; she would dance in front of Min Baozhen to upset her.

Thinking of this, Old Madam Min's eyes flickered. Apart from Su Chengmin, all members of the Su family should be buried with Min Baozhen.

After Su Shihang urged her repeatedly, Old Madam Min finally got off the carriage and gracefully stepped into the Su family's gate.

Su Shihang personally came up to help him up.

The road in front of the Su residence was cleared, and the guests who came to attend the birthday banquet were finally able to enter the Su residence.

When Grandma Su learned that her son had personally gone to invite Grandma Min, she was so angry that she threw her cane down.

Seeing her son personally helping Old Mrs. Min walk towards the main hall, she was so angry she wanted to scratch someone.

Her son wished her a long life early this morning. Long life, indeed! If things continue like this, she might not even live to see her birthday next year.

"Oh, my dear mother-in-law, what's wrong? Today is your birthday. Who made you angry? Let me advise you, we're both getting on in years, we should just eat and drink as usual. Don't take things to heart. If you die of anger, only others will be happy. Don't you think so?" Old Mrs. Min entered the main hall and sat down familiarly without even needing Old Mrs. Su to greet her.

Tong Huaqiong followed the guests to the main hall and, upon hearing this, thought to herself that Old Madam Min understood the principles of Yin and Yang.

Grandma Su said to Grandma Min, "This is my Su family's territory. You are not welcome here. Go back to where you came from."

Grandma Min smiled and looked at Su Shihang, asking, "Young son-in-law, if your mother doesn't welcome me, then I'll be leaving."

Su Shihang ordered someone to serve tea to Old Madam Min and said with a smile, "My mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She always speaks like that, so please don't take it to heart."

Grandma Min accepted the tea and looked at Grandma Su with a smug expression, implying that this marriage was arranged by her son.

Grandma Su was so angry that she wanted to ask her son whether his surname was Su or Min.

If it weren't for the fact that all the guests had arrived, Old Madam Su would never have swallowed her anger.

Seeing that Old Madam Min accepted the tea, Su Shihang knew that he had gotten through this ordeal today, but he would get his revenge sooner or later.

"Take good care of her," Su Shihang instructed Madam Lu.

Lu took a deep breath, put on a smiling face, and went to Old Madam Min's side to flatter her.

Old Mrs. Min got up and walked towards Tong Huaqiong. Originally, Tong Huaqiong was sitting next to the daughter-in-law of the Minister of Personnel, but she hurriedly got up and gave her to Old Mrs. Min.

Grandma Min sat down and chatted with Tong Huaqiong, asking, "When did you arrive? I didn't see you outside just now?"

Tong Huaqiong said with a smile, "I'm sitting in the carriage."

"Peach Blossom is here too." Old Mrs. Min took Gu Taohua's hand.

Grandma Su looked over at Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua.

She always stayed at home to worship Buddha and rarely went out, so she never met Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua.

Grandma Su secretly observed Gu Taohua.

If Gu Taohua were just a girl who had no connection with the Su family, Old Madam Su would think that Gu Taohua was a good girl.

With fair skin, big eyes, a tall figure, and a sweet yet radiant smile, she is the kind of healthy and capable girl she likes.

However, when she thought about Gu Taohua's family background and her rumored difficult temperament, and the fact that this marriage was arranged by Old Madam Min, Old Madam Su was dissatisfied with everything.

Looking at Tong Huaqiong again, Old Madam Su was even more displeased.

A widow dressed so dazzlingly was, in Old Mrs. Su's eyes, no different from being unfaithful.

Old Mrs. Su felt that Su Chengmin must have been tricked by this mother and son when he fell into poverty in Qinghewan. Otherwise, why would he choose to get engaged to this girl from a rural merchant family when there were so many rich girls in Shengjing?

"Whose daughter is this? I've never seen her before."

Grandma Su glanced at Tong Huaqiong, then at Gu Taohua.

His eyes were filled with contempt.

Tong Huaqiong knew that Old Madam Su was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

Just as I was about to get up and introduce myself, a lady beside me stood up and said, "This is the Lady of Suifeng, personally bestowed by the Emperor, the commoner grandmother of the Crown Prince. Her family just moved from Ningcheng to Shengjing two months ago. It's normal that you, old lady, usually stay at home enjoying your retirement and don't know. Lady of Suifeng is very capable. A woman can start from scratch and open a shop and run a business. She's more capable than any man. We all admire her very much when we talk about her."

Tong Huaqiong glanced sideways.

This dignified woman was the wife of the Minister of Personnel, and she and Tong Huaqiong were merely nodding acquaintances.

Because Gu Dashu married a concubine's daughter from the Lin family in his previous life, and that concubine's daughter was shrewd and calculating, Tong Huaqiong also harbored no goodwill towards the Lin family.

Therefore, Madam Lin took the initiative to introduce Tong Huaqiong, and her tone was full of genuine appreciation, which was quite unexpected for Tong Huaqiong.

"This young lady is Tao Hua, the youngest daughter of Lord Suifeng. At such a young age, Tao Hua is already capable of holding up half the sky. She manages both Tao Hua Dessert Shop and Ju Fu Lai Shop very well. Last month, I said that anyone who is lucky enough to marry Gu Tao Hua is blessed for three lifetimes. Well, your Cheng Min is one of those blessed people."

Madam Lin began praising Gu Taohua with a smile.
