Hearing this, Mu Zhi looked at the old lady in surprise.

There are tears in my eyes, but I can't let them fall. I feel so wronged.

"Yes!" She bowed to the old lady again, "Grandma made me kneel, it must be because I did something wrong and I'm pregnant. I will accept the punishment! I will go to the small Buddhist temple and kneel until Grandma calms down."

This is a very well-stated statement.

It wasn't that she was wrong, but that the old lady was using her status to oppress others. She knelt because she was a junior and couldn't resist her elders, not because she felt that she was wrong and deserved to be punished.

"So, you don't think you did anything wrong?" The old lady stared at her and asked word by word.

"If I make my grandmother angry, it's my fault. If my grandmother punishes me, it's my fault." Mu Zhi said with a wronged look on her face.

"Okay!" The old lady nodded, "Then I will punish you until you are convinced!"

"Is going out for fun more important or is my brother's wedding more important?"

"Brother's wedding is important." Mu Zhi replied.

"If that's the case, why weren't you present at your two brothers' weddings?" asked the old lady.

"There was an accident on the road..."

"Shaochen and Yiwen's wedding date has been set long ago. Why didn't you return earlier? Instead, you decided to go back on time? Have you ever thought that if something unexpected happens on the way, you will miss your two brothers' weddings?"

The old lady looked at her with sharp eyes, emphasizing every word.

"I'm sorry, grandma, it's my granddaughter's fault. I will go to the small Buddhist temple and kneel down now." Mu Zhi did not argue, but admitted her mistake in a good manner.

Compared with Mu Nian'an, Mu Zhi's attitude is much better.

"Mother." Han protected her daughter behind her and glanced at Xi. "Xiaozhi is indeed at fault in this matter, and your daughter-in-law will not excuse her."

"But, Xiaozhi wasn't the only one who didn't come back for Yiwen and Shaochen's wedding. Nian'an didn't come back either, and even Yiqing didn't come back."

"Mother, you can't just punish Xiaozhi. If you do that, your daughter-in-law won't accept it."

Don't think of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, old man! Why should only her Xiaozhi be punished?

The eldest wife's youngest son and daughter haven't come back yet! This old man is too obviously biased.

"What my sister-in-law said is absolutely right!" Xi nodded in agreement. "Nian'an is already kneeling in the small Buddhist temple. As for Yiqing, he is away because of the emperor's order. We can't call him back for this reason."

Hearing this, Han didn't know how to respond.

She had forgotten that Mu Yiqing had been sent out on an official mission.

Originally, this matter should have been handled by Mu Yiwen, the eldest grandson of the Marquis's Mansion, but he happened to catch up with his wedding.

So Mu Yiqing volunteered to do it for his brother.

"You must have forgotten that Yiqing went out to help Yiwen. If Yiqing hadn't taken this sacred mission for Yiwen, I'm afraid Yiwen wouldn't even be able to get married. How could he have married the apple of Xu's eye as you wished?"

Xi spoke bluntly, even with a hint of displeasure in her tone.

The last sentence obviously pierced the suppressed anger in Han's heart.

Yes, Xu Panyue is the apple of the Xu family's eye. But she is a fool who is not good at doing anything but always makes trouble!

Not only could she not help her son at all, she was also holding him back.

If I had known earlier, I would have married Xu Zhimiao, the unpopular one.

Whenever Han thought about Xu Zhimiao taking away most of Xu Panyue's dowry, she became furious.

Useless trash! Can't even deal with Xu Zhimiao!

"Sister-in-law, what you said makes it sound like we had secretly swapped this marriage." Han snorted coldly.

"Isn't it?" Xi asked bluntly, "If you didn't know, how could the bridal sedan be carried to the wrong courtyard, but the dowry was not carried to the wrong courtyard?"

"If you didn't know, why didn't you realize the bride was wrong and still continued with the ceremony?"

"I forgot one thing. My sister-in-law and Madam Xu were close friends."

"Sister-in-law! We in the second house will not admit your baseless accusation!" Han said angrily, "I said that you in the first house were the thief crying thief! After all, the love between Shaochen and Zhimiao doesn't seem like they married the wrong bride. It seems more like they have been in love for a long time!"

"If you insist on saying so, it's not impossible!" Xi sneered disdainfully, "After all, Zhi Miao was originally our Shaochen's fiancée. I don't know what tricks your second branch used to make the Xu family change their words."

"You..." Han was so angry that she couldn't speak. She could only stare at Xi with a red face.

"That's enough!" the old lady shouted, "Stop talking! I've already said that this matter should be stopped here! Why are you still arguing?"

"Mother, do I have to argue with her? She is the one who insists on confusing right and wrong!" Han retorted.

"It's hard to say who is trying to confuse right and wrong!" Xi snorted coldly, "If my sister-in-law is unwilling to accept this, at worst she can report it to the police. We, the eldest branch, are not afraid of investigation! Even if it comes to the emperor, we are justified and will stand tall!"

Han didn't dare to say this. After all, her back was not worth it.

"Don't be angry, aunt." Mu Zhi quickly tried to reconcile them. "Although the two sisters-in-law sent the wrong bridal sedan, they married the right people after all. And they are both our daughters-in-law. In this case, it is not a bad thing."

"My mother is not good at speaking, so please don't bother with her. After all, the love between my second brother and his wife is the most important. Grandmother, what do you think?"

I have to admit that Mu Zhi is good at talking. This conversation was very thorough, not only picking Han out, but also pushing Xi.

Ah!

The little girl is really amazing! No wonder her silly daughter was fooled around by her and didn't even know she was being used.

"Since Xiaozhi has said so, if auntie continues to make a fuss about it, then she will really become the bad person in your words. And auntie doesn't want to be that bad person!" Xi smiled gently and lovingly.

"Mother Rong, take Miss Three to kneel in the Buddhist temple!" the old lady said coldly.

"Yes!" Mother Rong took Mu Zhi to the Buddhist temple.

"Xiao Zhi?" Mu Nian'an, who was kneeling, was shocked when he saw Mu Zhi. "You were also punished by grandma to kneel?"

Mu Zhi knelt beside her, looking bitter and helpless, "We are sisters, so we should be punished together if we make mistakes. I will definitely not let you be punished alone."

"Xiaozhi, you are so nice!" Mu Nian'an looked grateful.

Then, his face was filled with anger. "It's all Xu Zhimiao's fault! It's all her fault! If it weren't for her, my brother wouldn't have punished me! And my grandmother wouldn't have punished us either!"

"I swear, I, Mu Nian'an, and Xu Zhimiao will never coexist!"

Hearing this, a sneer of triumph flashed across Mu Zhi's face.

"Xiaozhi, let me tell you something. When I went to find Xu Zhimiao, I could actually hear..."

[Mu Nian'an is so hopelessly stupid! Mu Zhi has only been using her! She's almost chewed to the bone, and she still treats Mu Zhi as a good sister! She deserves to die without leaving any residue! ]

Mu Nian'an: "......!!!"
