I was pampered like a treasure after being married off to the young marshal, but my father and broth

The next morning, dew condensed on the windowsill. Shang Sheyu had just gotten up when he saw Xier running over in a panic, holding a piece of newspaper in her hand.

"Miss, something terrible has happened! I went to get the morning newspaper and overheard gossiping women at the door talking about the Quan family mansion. It seems something has gone wrong."

I took the newspaper; the headline was eye-catching.

#The third young mistress of the Quan family abuses her power and bullies her children; her henchman, Quan Huai'an, cannot escape punishment!#

Is this targeting her again?

Quan Huai'an was also on the list.

Even more surprisingly, there are pictures to prove it: several bruised and swollen young men pointing to various bruises and wounds on their bodies and faces.

Especially that fat man with a big head and big ears, his chubby face was bruised and swollen, he didn't look like a human being at all, he looked like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

The photo was taken at a tricky angle, deliberately concealing Quan Huai'an's torn clothes and emphasizing Shang Sheyu's domineering and arrogant demeanor.

With the army clearing the way behind her, blocking the alleyway completely, it further confirmed her crime of relying on Quan Tuo, using military power to oppress others, and bullying others.

"I thought something serious had happened."

Shang Sheyu closed the newspaper, lazily got up, pulled his cloak tighter, and went to his mother-in-law's courtyard.

Since it's been published in the newspapers, Si Nan must already know about it, probably in Huai'an, the education authority.

The courtyard wall wasn't soundproof, and rustling sounds could already reach Shang Sheyu's ears.

"A wild child without parents' upbringing, relying on his uncle's power, acts recklessly and will get shot sooner or later."

"This third young mistress of the Quan family was originally an unreasonable person. Perhaps she instigated her brother-in-law to fight, and she played the good guy in the middle, getting the best of both worlds."

"That's right. If Quan Huai'an is spoiled by her, and she gives birth to an heir for the Chief Eunuch in the future, everything in the Quan family will be hers."

"I see that the Third Young Mistress looks very shrewd, but she's ruthless when she beats people. Tsk tsk tsk, the Supervisor has married a scourge."

Xi'er wanted to rush out and fight those gossipy women standing by the wall, but Shang Sheyu stopped her, saying that there was no need to pay attention to such pointless rumors. The most urgent thing was to take care of her mother-in-law and Quan Huai'an.

My mother-in-law is kind-hearted and values ​​the upbringing of her children. If the incident of Huai'an hitting someone is reported in the newspaper, she will definitely reprimand him. Besides, Huai'an is a naughty child, so he certainly won't be able to explain what happened that day.

He might anger Si Nan to the point of almost fainting again, just like last time. Thinking of this, Shang Sheyu quickened his pace.

As expected, Quan Huai'an knelt there, his back straight.

"You've come to see me make a fool of myself."

The boy muttered a few words under his breath, but Shang Sheyu pretended not to hear him, bowing slightly. Si Nan was clearly angry.

"Sheyu, you are an elder in Huai'an. Huai'an has been mischievous since he was a child, while you are a well-mannered and knowledgeable person. How could you let Huai'an act so recklessly when you were there?"

Quan Huai'an was kneeling, but Shang Sheyu felt there was absolutely no need for him to kneel, because neither she nor Quan Huai'an had done anything wrong.

Si Nan had no idea what kind of grievances Quan Huai'an had suffered at the hands of that group of thugs that day. Seeing the newspaper articles targeting Shang Sheyu and pressuring Quan Huai'an, she felt depressed and angry, and spoke without thinking.

Even Granny Yan looked at Shang Sheyu with a hint of resentment. The evidence was in black and white, with photographic testimonies, and the blame was too great to bear.

Shang Sheyu remained calm and unhurried, saying that this matter needed to be discussed in detail.

"Mother-in-law, it was Huai'an from our family who was wronged in this matter. I think that just giving these spoiled brats a beating was too lenient."

Si Nan stared blankly.

"Is there something going on? Huai'an, what caused your conflict with those outsiders? Why is Sheyu here?"

"I will take full responsibility for this matter. It has nothing to do with this woman. Although she was present, it is none of her business. You may punish her as you see fit."

Quan Huai'an is still the same passionate and spirited young man, with a strong sense of loyalty. However, his headstrong and reckless behavior will inevitably lead to his downfall. Although Si Nan is angry that Huai'an is fighting and causing trouble with other children, she is the most reasonable elder.

Si Nan shifted her gaze to Shang Sheyu, who was standing to the side.

"Sheyu, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Shang Sheyu glanced sideways at Quan Huai'an, and he turned his head to see how this woman would defend him.

"After waking up from the poisoning in Huai'an last time, he ran out, but the residual poison in his body had not been cleared, and he was too weak to continue, so he accidentally collapsed in the alley behind the tavern."

"A few spoiled brats happened to witness his disheveled state and took advantage of his isolation in Huai'an to bully him."

Shang Sheyu paused, a look of heartache in her eyes, and continued, "When I arrived, Huai'an's outermost clothes were already tattered and torn to shreds, and even his cotton undergarments were ripped apart."

"In the cold snow, Huai'an was soaked in the icy, filthy snow water and bullied by four or five people."

"They were all strong and burly, and they were ruthless. They treated Huai'an like livestock, humiliating and beating him at will."

Hearing this, Si Nan frowned slightly, feeling a dull ache in her heart as if pricked by needles.

It's outrageous that her grandson, whom she raised with such care and affection, was bullied like this.

"If it were just kids fighting and causing trouble, I wouldn't interfere. But Huai'an is disobedient and definitely needs to be educated."

"But I heard those rich kids actually insult Huai'an for not having parents, calling him a wild child and a pitiful wretch living under someone else's roof. They were treating the Quan family's face like toilet paper."

"Huai'an could not bear the humiliation and fought them to the death. Just then, the subordinates that Third Master had sent to find Huai'an arrived, so I ordered them to surround the alley."

"I taught Huai'an that every man in the Quan family is a hero. Even if they die, they should die on the road of charging forward, not be beaten like dogs in the mud. Even if you make a hole in the sky today, your uncle and I will hold it up for you."

"As an elder, I see the younger generation as my pillar of support when they are wronged. Young people are easily swayed by emotions and need to be carefully protected. Mother-in-law, I have only encouraged this incident, but I do not regret doing so, nor do I think I did anything wrong."

At this point, Si Nan's eyes were already red and tears were welling up. His parents in Huai'an both died on the battlefield defending their country. He was the orphan of a martyr and the most beloved child of the Quan family.

Are those people outside really bullying her, a widow and orphan of the Quan family, and showing no respect for her authority?

She Yu did the right thing. Fight back, fight back hard! The youthful spirit of Huai'an and the reputation of the Quan family are both reminding Si Nan that this matter absolutely cannot be left like this.

If they dare to publish defamatory articles in the newspaper today, they'll dare to come to the Quan Mansion and humiliate you to your face tomorrow.

Those who bullied Huai'an dared to distort the truth. Si Nan had a plan in mind and vowed to get justice for her grandson. Otherwise, how could she face his parents who had both died?

Granny Yan had already helped Quan Huai'an up. Si Nan had punished him in a fit of anger, but now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, she was showing her true love for her grandson.

Quan Huai'an focused all his attention on Shang Sheyu. She was a frail woman, but she stood there with sparkling eyes, eloquent and persuasive, and once again came to his rescue.

Shang Sheyu looked rather smug, raising his eyebrows as he held the upper hand over Quan Huai'an, exuding an air of nonchalance.

The misleading newspaper, which distorted the truth, was gripped tightly by Si Nan, leaving her fingerprints. A flame burned in her eyes, determined to make everyone who dared to criticize the Quan family pay the price.

Si Nan was a female general in her youth, a woman who was just as capable as any man. She wanted to show the outside world that the Quan family was not just a place where men conquered the world on horseback, but where women could also be warriors who defended their country.
