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

Chapter 805: Two Stepsons Fight
When Nie Laoda was called out by his stepmother, he gritted his teeth.

He certainly didn't think his son was talking nonsense.

He hated Gu Baishuang, his stepmother who had given birth to a son.

If his stepmother hadn't given birth to another brother for him, he wouldn't have received an extra share of the family property.

As the eldest son of the Nie family, he believed that the majority of the family's assets belonged to him, and that his own brother, who shared the same mother, should receive a share, while Nie Xiaofeng should not have any at all.

When Nie Xiaofeng secretly joined the army without his family's knowledge, he was overjoyed even in his dreams.

With war breaking out on the border, he hoped more than anyone else that Nie Xiaofeng would die on the battlefield.

However, Nie Xiaofeng did not die in battle; instead, he distinguished himself and became the youngest deputy general in the Great Sheng Dynasty.

He privately lamented to Zhang that it would have been better if Xiaofeng had died in battle. Since he had no marriage or children, his eldest son and grandson, Yan Ge'er, could have continued Nie Xiaofeng's family line, and all of Nie Xiaofeng's achievements would have automatically gone to Yan Ge'er.

Despite her private lamentations, that fool Zhang actually instilled these ideas in her son.

Now that everything has been exposed, he's embarrassed along with everyone else.

“Mother, how could I think that way? You’re hurting my feelings by saying that.” Nie Laoda knelt down in front of Gu Baishuang and said, “When Lao Er and I were in our early twenties, it was you who took care of us, raised us brothers, helped us get married, and took care of our family. How could I be such a heartless person as to curse you and Xiaofeng?”

“Three years ago, I did have the idea of ​​taking over your business, but I didn’t want to take over your shop. I felt sorry for you working so hard outside and wanted you to enjoy your life at home. It’s my fault for causing you such a big misunderstanding.”

Gu Baishuang looked at Boss Nie with a half-smile.

Her tearful appearance made it seem to those unaware of the situation that it was a scene of a stepmother forcing her stepson.

Boss Nie is the most ruthless. He always stirs up trouble in the shadows. This time, he has been dragged into the open, so he has no choice but to put on a good show.

This is Gu Baishuang, who holds the family's economic lifeline in her hands. If she were still the penniless stepmother she once was, her stepson would devour her alive.

Seeing that Gu Baishuang ignored him, Nie Laoda gritted his teeth, turned around, and slapped Zhang Shi to the ground, cursing, "You vile woman, you've corrupted a perfectly good child. Your concern for your third brother joining the army was well-intentioned, but you always think the worst and make the child follow suit."

However, he didn't mention at all that Yan Ge'er said Gu Baishuang wasn't a member of the Nie family and that he wanted to kick Gu Baishuang out.

Zhang was beaten until she coughed up blood.

The second son's wife, Sun, smiled, but quickly suppressed it, saying with schadenfreude, "Sister-in-law, you never keep your word. Even if you don't covet your third brother's property, Yan-ge'er will believe you if you keep saying it."

Zhang glared at Sun and retorted, "Do you think your words sound nice? You said that Third Brother will die on the battlefield sooner or later, and that the Second Branch has two sons who will be adopted by Third Brother to inherit the General's Mansion. Did you say that?"

Sun regretted kicking someone when they were down and said angrily, "Sister-in-law, Yan-ge'er has exposed your secrets, so don't try to drag me down with you."

Then he hurriedly explained to Nie Xiaofeng, "Third brother, don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense. Sheng Ge'er and Xiang Ge'er always follow Yan Ge'er around, and they've both learned bad things from him. I just beat them up a few days ago, and just now they were in the house, I don't know what kind of nonsense they learned from Yan Ge'er."

Sun attributed her sons' earlier statement that the General's Mansion belonged to them to what they had learned from Yan Ge'er.

Zhang was furious.

She had long since lost her mind after being beaten by her mother-in-law, beaten by her husband, and laughed at by her sisters-in-law.

Sun's actions at this moment were like dancing in her minefield; she got up, grabbed Sun, and pulled her hair.

Before Sun could react with a yelp, Zhang ripped out a lock of her hair.

"You wretch! You've caused trouble time and time again just because you're my sister-in-law, and I've ignored you. You've only just arrived in Shengjing and you're already trying to bully me!" Madam Sun grabbed Madam Zhang's hand.

The two got into a brawl.

Sun was at a disadvantage and howled like a pig being slaughtered.

When Nie Lao Er saw his wife being slapped by his sister-in-law, he went up and pushed Zhang Shi.

Zhang staggered, looking incredulous, then turned to Nie Lao Da and yelled, "I let you hit me, and you're my husband, so I'll accept it. But who does he think he is? You just stood by and watched your brother beat your sister-in-law? He's not bullying me, he's clearly bullying you." Nie Lao Da was provoked by Zhang's words and went up to give Nie Lao Er two punches.

Not to be outdone, Nie Lao Er began to fight back.

The two families already had conflicts.

Nie Lao Er was always dissatisfied with Nie Mingyuan's favoritism. When the three of them went out to do business, even though he put in the most effort, Nie Mingyuan always suppressed him, fearing that he would steal the limelight from the eldest son. Moreover, he secretly and openly planned to give the eldest son the lion's share of the family business in the future.

Nie Lao Er was dissatisfied with Nie Lao Da's tendency to always be first and deliberately showed off his competence in front of Nie Mingyuan. In Nie Lao Da's mind, Nie Lao Er should have been his assistant, but he always managed to outdo him.

The conflict between the two erupted at this moment, and they fought fiercely, unable to break apart.

When Zhang and Sun saw the two men fighting, they put their hands on their hips and started hurling insults at each other.

Nie Mingyuan, who had been pretending to be dead, turned red with anger.

"You bastards, you're trying to drive me crazy!"

"Stop everything."

Nie Mingyuan slammed his hand on the table, making a loud thud.

In the end, Nie Xiaofeng managed to pry his two older brothers apart, one in each hand.

Nie Mingyuan slumped into a chair, panting heavily, and cursed, "How have I taught you since you were little? Brothers united can move mountains, but you've all started fighting yourselves."

If he hadn't been unaware tonight, both sons would have felt that the other had gotten the better deal and they themselves had been taken advantage of, and they would have implied that he, as their father, was biased.

He was truly wronged. He devoted himself to his two sons, even scheming against Gu Baishuang and sacrificing his younger son.

Is this how his two sons repay him?
Gu Baishuang coldly observed everything before her.

The two sons appeared harmonious in front of Nie Mingyuan, who genuinely believed that the interests of the father and sons were unbreakable.

In the past, when his two stepsons bullied Gu Baishuang and Nie Xiaofeng, Nie Mingyuan knew their intentions but never stopped them.

Now let him experience what it's like for his two sons to swing their knives at each other.

"Father, you always favor my second brother."

"Father, you always favor my eldest brother."

The two brothers, Nie Lao Da and Nie Lao Er, expressed their dissatisfaction with Nie Mingyuan in unison.

"Bastard thing."

Enraged, Nie Mingyuan picked up the teacup and teapot in his hand and smashed them at his two sons.

This was the first time Nie Mingyuan had ever lost his temper so badly with his two sons.

The two sons were stunned and quickly apologized while crying.

Nie Mingyuan slumped into a chair and glanced at Gu Baishuang. Before Gu Baishuang arrived, his three sons and two daughters-in-law surrounded him, chatting and drinking tea, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Everything was disrupted by the arrival of Gu Baishuang.

"You're satisfied with causing such chaos in the household?"

After Nie Mingyuan sent his two sons and daughters-in-law back to their room, he gritted his teeth and questioned Gu Baishuang.

Gu Baishuang responded with a smile: "It's your two good sons who are causing trouble in the family, not me. Whether I'm there or not, they'll still make a fuss. I'll only be satisfied if they don't cause trouble for my son and don't try to take credit for my son's achievements and family property."
