The whole family died violently. After rebirth, she went crazy with her children.

When he saw Wen Jingshu at that time, he was stunned for a moment and shouted in surprise: "Mom?"

Wen Jingshu finally reacted and looked towards Su Chaoxi.

Wen Jingshu smiled at Su Chaoxi: "Why haven't you slept yet? It's so late."

Su Chaoxi found it strange.

It's so late. Wen Jingshu usually goes to bed after ten o'clock every day, but now it's almost two o'clock in the morning and he is still sitting in the living room.

Su Chaoxi immediately asked her: "Are you worried about something?"

Su Chaoxi noticed in the afternoon that Wen Jingshu looked very depressed.

In the afternoon, Su Chaoxi thought it was because of Mimi's matter, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Wen Jingshu smiled bitterly: "Yes, a little bit."

Su Chaoxi naturally sat down next to Wen Jingshu: "What's wrong?"

Wen Jingshu sighed and quickly expressed his distress: "Today, my mother-in-law, Tianyin's grandmother, called me and asked me to go back to preside over the family sacrifice."

Su Chaoxi remembered this matter instantly.

This kind of thing really did happen at this time in my previous life, and it seemed to be particularly unpleasant at the old house.

She remembered that in her previous life, not only Wen Jingshu, but also Cheng Meifen and Xie Tianchen went to the Xie family's old house.

Besides, seeing Wen Jingshu looking so melancholy, I was afraid that it was not just the sacrificial matter that was bothering her.

You have to know that the old lady of the Xie family has always trusted Wen Jingshu wholeheartedly since Wen Jingshu and Xie Changzheng got married.

And all the big and small matters at home, including sacrifices, festivals, and entertaining relatives, were left to Wen Jingshu to take care of.

However, this trust began to waver after Cheng Meifen and Xie Tianchen arrived at the Xie family's old house, and Wen Jingshu began to delegate some of the power in his hands to Cheng Meifen.

Su Chaoxi believed that there must be something fishy going on.

Seeing Wen Jingshu's gloomy face, Su Chaoxi asked tentatively: "Don't you do this every year? Is there anything different this year?"

Wen Jingshu smiled bitterly and said, "This year, Mrs. Xie wants to add two names to the family tree."

Su Chaoxi's heart sank.

Could it be Cheng Meifen and Xie Tianchen?

But in their previous life, they were not added to the family tree at this time.

But who else could it be besides the two of them?

Su Chaoxi asked: "Could it be Cheng Meifen and Xie Tianchen?"

Wen Jingshu smiled bitterly and nodded: "Eighty percent of them are like that. I heard that they have been getting close to the eldest branch of the family recently. The eldest branch of the family has always been at odds with our second branch."

Su Chaoxi's heart sank: "They are close to the eldest son's family? Does that person agree?"

The eldest son is Xie Changzheng's cousin and the current head of the Xie family.

If Xie Changzheng was not really unable to be promoted, it would not be the turn of the eldest son of the family to become the head of the family.

Therefore, the head of the Xie family and Xie Changzheng have always been at odds.

Now Xie Tianchen is actually close to the eldest son’s family?

"I don't know what happened, but it was the eldest branch of the family that agreed to add these two names. Not only the eldest branch of the family, but also Old Lady Xie agreed, so they opened the ancestral hall and included the names on the list," Wen Jingshu explained.

Su Chaoxi was a little angry: "In other words, you must go back and personally invite this mistress and her illegitimate child in?"

Wen Jingshu lowered his eyes, it was obvious that Su Chaoxi was right.

Su Chaoxi was so angry that he couldn't even speak: "Then do you want to go? Isn't this an insult to people in this kind of situation?"

Wen Jingshu smiled bitterly and said, "So I'm thinking, Xie Changzheng is determined to divorce me, he wants to be with Cheng Meifen, this is an ironclad fact."

"Besides, Cheng Meifen is pregnant. Old Madam Xie attaches great importance to blood relations. And I heard that she is pregnant with a boy, so Old Madam Xie is particularly willing to let Cheng Meifen go back to recognize her ancestors..."

Wen Jingshu lowered his eyes and said, "Everyone knows that Xie Changzheng and I don't have a good relationship. It has been like this for decades, but because some old ladies support me, few people in the family will embarrass me. But if I really bring in a mistress, then I can be said to have no status in this family at all."

Su Chaoxi was furious when she heard this, but she took a deep breath and said, "But mom, you have to know that no matter how close she is to Xie Changzheng, she is just a mistress in the end. You are the wife they married off formally and you are the real mistress of the house."

"That's true, but over the years, I've been dead in name only."

"Really?" Su Chaoxi asked, "If I understand correctly, not everyone can be the mistress of the Xie family, right?"

Wen Jingshu paused and looked at Su Chaoxi.

Su Chaoxi took Wen Jingshu's hand and continued, "Everyone has seen what you have done in front of the Xie family elders for so many years. If they have to choose between you and that mistress, who would these elders choose?"

"Of course it is me."

Wen Jingshu didn't even have to think about it.

These old guys value etiquette and integrity the most.

They had long looked down upon Cheng Meifen's formality and mannerisms, and Xie Changzheng was also given a negative score in their minds.

But these elders are still very kind to me.

Wen Jingshu knew in her heart that these elders were actually very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.

But that's also why it's embarrassing.

If Xie Changzheng is determined to let the mistress marry into the family, then can she still be considered the mistress of the house?

Do I still need to preside over this sacrifice?

What Wen Jingshu is struggling with now is that she and Xie Changzheng have almost no feelings for each other anymore. She even thinks about divorcing Xie Changzheng and severing all ties with him at any time, but they haven't officially separated yet.

At the same time, Wen Jingshu was also very clear that the elders in the family and the old lady of the Xie family were all very traditional people, and it was impossible for them to let Xie Changzheng propose a divorce to herself.

Based on Wen Jingshu's understanding of them, they would definitely try their best to prevent her from divorcing Xie Changzheng.

But they also want to welcome Cheng Meifen and Xie Tianchen into the family tree...

Wen Jingshu was indeed somewhat confused.

Su Chaoxi sneered and said, "You also think they will definitely choose you, right? Then don't you want to fight for it?"

"Strive for it?" Wen Jingshu became even more confused.

"If you don't want that mistress to come into the house, then that mistress will never be able to come into this house."

"But... the head of the family and the old lady have both given in..."
