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

Chapter 804: Always Gain Benefits, Always Stay Away

Nie Mingyuan, his two stepsons, and their wives were stunned.

I don't understand what Gu Baishuang meant by asking that question. Could it be that Gu Baishuang misses her grandson?
Gu Baishuang used to really love her grandson.

Fearing gossip that she was not a true step-grandmother, she doted on her grandchildren even more than her biological grandmother.

The eldest son's grandson was raised by Gu Baishuang herself.

Since that argument three years ago, Gu Baishuang's feelings for her grandsons have faded.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang, said with a smile, "The children have all come. Ever since you came to Shengjing, Yan-ge'er has been thinking about you every day and hasn't been eating well. He's lost a lot of weight in the past six months. But Yan-ge'er has made progress in his studies. He even said on the way that when he sees you, he wants to show you his calligraphy."

While speaking, he urged the old woman to go and call the children over.

The Yan Ge'er that Zhang mentioned was her eldest son, and also the grandson who was raised in Gu Baishuang's arms.

She said, "Yan-ge'er grew up by his mother's side, how could she not love him?"

It's only been a short time since we parted, and I already miss Yan-ge'er.

Even if her mother-in-law has opinions about her and her husband, it doesn't matter. As long as her son is there, she can keep her mother-in-law in check.

Gu Baishuang smiled faintly.

The second daughter-in-law, Sun, retorted, "My sons Sheng and Xiang also talk about their grandmother every day. Go and bring them here quickly."

Sun was filled with regret, thinking that she should have been more ruthless and given the child to Gu Baishuang to raise.

Soon, the children were brought before Gu Baishuang by the old woman and maid.

When the children saw Gu Baishuang, their faces showed unfamiliarity.

Gu Baishuang wasn't annoyed.

"Quickly greet your grandmother," the old woman urged.

The children greeted them.

Zhang and Sun looked over at Gu Baishuang and saw that she was sitting and drinking tea without saying anything, so they couldn't help but feel disappointed.

They had heard that Gu Baishuang's business with Widow Tong was very successful, and that the Nie family's business was nothing compared to hers. Yet, despite having so much money, she couldn't even spare a gift for her grandson's first meeting.

Gu Baishuang looked at Shengge'er and Xiangge'er and asked, "Do you like it here?"

The two said, "We like it, we like it here."

Gu Baishuang pinched their cheeks and said to Nie Xiaofeng, "Look how grown up your nephew is, when are you going to get married so I can hold my own grandson?"

These words seemed to activate Sheng Ge'er and Xiang Ge'er's defense system. The two remembered what their parents had said in private and said, "Uncle is not married and will not get married in the future. He will not have a son. This house is ours."

Yan Ge'er jumped out and shoved his two cousins ​​to the ground, then put his hands on his hips and said, "What do you mean 'your'? This General's Mansion is mine. I am the eldest son and grandson, and everything in the house belongs to me."

Yan Ge'er was very strong. Sheng Ge'er and Xiang Ge'er were pushed to the ground and scraped their hands, and they cried loudly.

Sun was so distressed that she helped this person up and that person, and she was so angry that she wanted to eat Yan Ge'er alive.

Unaware of anything amiss, Yan Ge'er turned to look at Gu Baishuang and said, "Grandma, my mother said you love me the most. Since Uncle has no children, I am your grandson. Everything you and Uncle own belongs to me."

Yan Ge'er looked completely self-righteous.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed except for Gu Baishuang's.

Nie Xiaofeng looked at his elder brother and sister-in-law and asked, "What do you mean I can't get married and can't have children? How come the house I worked so hard to earn belongs to my nephew?"

Sun Shi, disregarding her heartache for the child, forced a smile and said, "It's just childish nonsense, Third Brother, don't take it to heart."

Zhang grabbed Yan Ge'er, slapped him on the bottom, and scolded, "I'll teach you to talk nonsense! I'll teach you to talk nonsense! Your uncle is still young, how could he not have his own children?"

Turning to Gu Baishuang and Nie Xiaofeng, he explained, "Yan-ge'er misses his uncle too much. He said his uncle is a great general and he wants to be a general's child. Children say the darndest things, Third Brother, please don't be angry."

Nie Xiaofeng didn't believe this explanation.

He knew his two sisters-in-law's character all too well; they must have been the ones who told the child that if he didn't get married and had no children, the General's Mansion would belong to their child. Thinking of this, Nie Xiaofeng's face turned icy.

Gu Baishuang sneered, "Isn't this what the adults taught the child to say?"

Yan Ge'er was beaten by Zhang Shi and felt wronged. He shouted, "I didn't say anything wrong. I didn't say anything wrong. That's what Mother told me. Mother said that Uncle would die on the battlefield. Uncle has no son. I am the eldest son and grandson, so everything should be mine."

When Gu Baishuang heard that Nie Xiaofeng would die on the battlefield, she couldn't hold back her emotions.

Nie Xiaofeng's expression changed drastically.

Zhang wished she could sew her son's mouth shut.

She did say that.

But it wasn't said while teaching the children; it was said in private. Somehow, Yan Ge'er overheard it and blurted it out, just like he had.

Yan Ge'er asked Nie Xiaofeng aggressively, "Uncle, when are you going to die? If you die, will this big house really be mine? Grandma is wicked. I'm going to kick her out when she dies."

Gu Baishuang slapped Yan Ge'er to the ground.

If they dare to curse her son, then let's fight.

Don't say he's just a child who doesn't know any better.

You can tell what someone will be like when they're young.

If a child can be so malicious, what will he be like when he grows up?

Besides, Yan-ge'er is already quite old, old enough to start school, and all the lessons he's learned are just empty words.

Yan Ge'er cried out in pain after being beaten by Gu Baishuang, and said angrily to Gu Baishuang, "You are not my grandmother, you are a stepmother that our Nie family bought with money. You wait, when I grow up I will kick you out."

Gu Baishuang was so angry that she trembled all over.

He grabbed Zhang, who was standing to the side, and slapped her twice on the head, yelling, "What does a child know? You're the one who taught him all this. You just want my son and me to die. Let me tell you, even if you and your son die, we won't die."

Zhang's face was burning from the beating. She hugged Yan Ge'er and cried, saying, "I have been married into the Nie family for so many years. I have been filial to my parents-in-law, served my husband, and borne children for the Nie family. The child only said a few nonsense words, and you blame me for teaching him. If I say I didn't teach him, you don't believe me and you've concluded that I have a wicked heart."

"No matter what I do, I'm wrong. If Mother is dissatisfied with me, she might as well write me a letter of divorce and make me leave."

The mother and son hugged each other and cried.

Gu Baishuang gave Zhang Shi and Yan Ge'er a cold look, which made the mother and son tremble with fear.

Nie Xiaofeng said, "Sister-in-law, you didn't raise the children well, but instead you blamed my mother. Our Nie family's children have been taught to be disloyal and unrighteous by you, so you should indeed be divorced."

Nie Xiaofeng had witnessed bloodshed and death on the battlefield.

As a soldier, he was not afraid of death and had long been prepared to sacrifice himself.

But being cursed for no reason feels like being tainted by something dirty.

Zhang's sobs were choked up by Nie Xiaofeng's rebuke.

Gu Baishuang's gaze swept over Boss Nie.

Whether it was the division of the family property or the adoption of a son by the two families under the pretext of Nie Xiaofeng's death, it was the idea of ​​the two stepsons.

They come up with ideas, and the wife jumps out to carry them out.

If they succeed, they enjoy the benefits; if they fail, it's all because the women are ignorant and foolish.

Just like now, with the matter escalating so much, Boss Nie is hiding in the shadows, acting as if it's none of his business.

Always gain benefits, always remain uninvolved.

But how could Gu Baishuang let her stepson go?

"Boss, do you also think your son is talking nonsense?"
