Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

Ying Yuchuan once again felt that his decision was correct.

If Lu Luozhi and the others were to continue living in this house, given his grandmother's current harsh prejudices against them, it would only exacerbate various conflicts.

He calmly looked at his incessantly nagging grandmother.

She's been in this position as Madam Ying for decades, and she's only gotten more and more stubborn and inflexible.

"Grandpa, why don't you help Grandma back to her room and get some rest? She's old and shouldn't get upset; it's bad for her health."

Grandpa Ying quickly followed suit to avoid the old woman's endless nagging.

"Old woman, let's go. I'll accompany you back to your room first; it's not good for your health..."

Madam Ying refused to listen; she was determined to confront Ying Yuchuan.

"Yuchuan, tell me, do you want this family or that woman now?"

She forced him to make a choice.

"grandmother!"

Ying Yuchuan's voice deepened, "You seem to have forgotten. Let me remind you now, Grandma Lu did me a great favor. And that trashy blond guy you're talking about, he saved your granddaughter, and he's still lying in the hospital. Are you trying to force me to be a heartless person?"

"You value your reputation so much; if these two things get out, what will people think of you?"

"Old woman, Yuchuan, you two should just keep quiet."

Seeing that the atmosphere between them was getting increasingly tense, Old Master Ying simply stood between them and gently tried to reconcile them.

"Old woman, what Yuchuan said is right. Putting aside what happened with Old Lady Lu before, now that she..."

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because once she did, Old Madam Ying got even angrier. She shamelessly said:

"I think that blond guy did it on purpose. He just doesn't like me and deliberately bullied Sang Rou, which resulted in him ending up in the hospital. People like that are unpredictable. Don't blame the Ying family for this."

Upon hearing this, not only did Ying Yuchuan's face darken, but even Master Ying, who had been trying to persuade both sides, was shocked.

He couldn't believe that his wife of decades would say such cold-blooded things.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Mom and Dad, what's wrong? What are you arguing about? We could hear you arguing from far away."

The Ying Huayu couple, who had been notified by Lao Ye, rushed over quickly.

Upon seeing Ying Yuchuan standing there with a somber expression, and noticing the subtle tension between their parents, Ying Huayu frowned and asked Ying Yuchuan, "Did you have a fight with your grandparents?"

Seeing her son arrive, Madam Ying immediately became aggrieved. "Hua Yu, you must stand up for your mother! Your eldest son wants to move out for a woman, he doesn't want to live at home anymore, he doesn't even want his family anymore, he doesn't even want you all."

As she spoke, she suddenly started to cry.

"What have I, this old woman, done wrong to deserve this treatment from you all..."

Only then did Ying Huayu and his wife notice the two suitcases on the ground.

"Yuchuan, what's going on? Why are you carrying luggage all of a sudden?"

At this point, Madam Ying burst into tears.

"Your good son is eloping with that woman, and now he wants to move out and live alone with her. I'm his grandmother, and he doesn't even listen to me..."

"Move out?"

Ying Huayu and his wife were both shocked.

"What... what's going on? Yuchuan, why haven't you mentioned this before?"

Sheng Shuang hurriedly asked him.

Faced with his grandmother's constant nagging, Ying Yuchuan felt a headache coming on.

Do older people become more unreasonable as they get older?

"In short, I won't let you move out without my permission."

Madam Ying gave a cold laugh and issued the final order herself.

"Ever since we brought those two women into our home, they've turned our Ying family into chaos. Yuchuan, do you think such women are suitable for you? You are the eldest grandson of the Ying family, the future heir. Do you really want this lowly woman as your wife?"

Ultimately, what she cares about is her status and background.

"Mom, don't say such harsh things."

Ying Huayu advised her.

"Yuchuan..."

Madam Ying retorted, "Huayu, if you, as his father, really want what's best for your son, you should advise him to divorce that woman as soon as possible. All she wants is money. No matter how much she demands, our Ying family can afford it all. This kind of ill-mannered woman doesn't deserve to be our Ying family's daughter-in-law..."

"Then let me ask you, madam, what does it mean to be well-mannered?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice interrupted her excited speech, ringing out from the air, causing all the Ying family members present to look towards the source of the sound.

This sight was quite surprising.

It is a deer casket branch.

When did she come back?

I wonder how much of what she said just now was heard.

Ying Huayu and his wife exchanged glances.

Her brother is still in the hospital because he saved their daughter, and when he came back, he heard these nasty things.

Sheng Shuang greeted her with a smile, "Luo Zhi, when did you get back? Why didn't you let me know? I could have had the chef prepare your favorite dishes..."

Lu Luozhi ignored her and walked past her to stand in front of Old Madam Ying.

"Madam Ying, tell me, I really want to know, what does it mean to be well-mannered? Is someone like you, who curses like a shrew, considered well-mannered? Look at yourself now, how ugly you are, you don't look like a lady from a wealthy family at all..."

"Lu Luozhi!"

Old Madam Ying abruptly stopped her harsh words, glaring at her with resentment. "This is the Ying family home. You have no right to speak here!"

Lu Luozhi just smiled and said, "You don't want me to say it, but I'll say it anyway. You, Madam Ying, are just a gilded exterior but a rotten interior, an ungrateful, heartless old woman..."

"Snap—"

A slap landed on Lu Luozhi's face, successfully stopping her from saying the words that would infuriate Old Madam Ying.

The slap came so fast that no one had time to react.

Lu Luozhi covered her burning right cheek and looked meaningfully at the furious Old Madam Ying.

The others then came to their senses.

"Old woman!"

Old Master Ying pulled Old Madam Ying a few steps away to prevent her from hitting people again.

He was a little annoyed. "What are you doing?"

Ying Huayu and his wife went forward to check on Lu Luozhi's condition.

Ying Yuchuan was faster than them. He lifted her chin with one hand and looked down to examine the red handprint on her face.

Lu Luozhi lowered her eyes, trying to remove his hand, "I'm fine..."

"They're all red, how come nothing's wrong?"

He pursed his lips, feeling both angry and anxious, and could no longer remain calm.

"Old Ye, go get the first-aid kit."

With red, watery eyes and a choked voice, Lu Luozhi said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you two fight..."

Suddenly, she knelt down and cried out frantically, "Madam, I'm so sorry! It's my fault for displeasing you. It's my fault, this country bumpkin, for polluting your noble eyes. Hit me, scold me..."
