It was the time of the day when the sun was at its brightest. Beams of light poured in like waterfalls, coating the furnishings in the room with a warm golden hue.

The indoor temperature continues to rise with the sunshine. Some people feel that the warm atmosphere is very comfortable and cozy, while others find the heat suffocating.

Old Madam Wang was so angry that she was shaking all over, her face was ashen. She pointed at Jiang Nansheng with a shaking finger, "You, you..."

She felt very uncomfortable because she was unable to refute and was unwilling to give in. She raised her hand and pounded her chest, her eyes full of anger and helplessness.

She sat beside the Luohan bed and turned to look at Old Madam Jiang with an expression of disbelief:

"My dear relatives, the Jiang and Wang families have been relatives for many years. The master usually takes good care of the prince in the Ministry of Works. Do you really want to tear your relationship apart like this?"

Madam Jiang pulled her sleeve out of her hand, her eyes firm and sharp. She frowned slightly and said calmly: "Just now my in-laws were exaggerating about the love of parents."

Thinking of those things that she dared not think about and had not happened, her words became less calm and her voice became a little higher:

"Yu Rou has been married to the Jiang family for more than 20 years. We have already become a family and have never treated her harshly.

Not to mention, you guys are harming my own daughter-in-law, who is pregnant with the grandson or granddaughter I have been waiting for for many years! I wish I could go to the palace with the Duke to file a complaint with the Emperor right now!"

Jiang Nansheng looked stern and pointed at Old Madam Wang, with a slight smile on his face, "It seems that Old Madam Wang can't make a decision for the time being, so I can only follow my own wishes."

As soon as he finished speaking, He You, who was waiting outside the door, came in and said, "Fifth Master, the Zhang family is here."

Jiang Nansheng really did as he said and called the Zhang family over!

This news made Wang Yuran like a frightened bird. She stepped down from the bed in panic, "Mother!"

Just like Zhang's mother just now, Wang Yuran knelt beside Old Madam Wang's legs, tears in her eyes, begging bitterly, "Mother, my daughter cannot go back to the Zhang family..."

Thinking of something, she turned around again, threw herself at Wang's feet, and tightly grasped the hem of Wang's skirt with both hands. She said in a trembling voice with tears in her eyes:

"Eldest sister, you are the wife of the prince of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, and you have given birth to two sons for the Jiang family. They will not do anything to you! Please save me, save me..."

The fat old woman came over with an expressionless face, rudely stuffed a handkerchief into Wang Yuran's mouth, then grabbed the back of her collar and effortlessly pulled her out the door.

"Fifth Madam, Princess Anping, the baby in your belly is safe..." Wang Yuran cried out in despair.

"Mother, mother..."

Wang Yuran struggled desperately, his eyes full of despair and helplessness.

Seeing her mother sitting on the bed with red eyes, the light in her eyes dimmed little by little.

The mother made her choice and she was abandoned.

Only after her little daughter disappeared at the door did Mrs. Wang stand up. She no longer had the vigor she had not long ago, and she looked a little depressed. Her shoulders drooped, as if she had suddenly aged a lot.

Old Madam Wang's face was visibly tired, and she said to Jiang Nansheng, "I wonder if Fifth Master Jiang is satisfied?"

Jiang Nansheng cupped his hands and smiled, "Old Madam Wang is indeed adept at making choices."

Madam Wang clutched her sleeves tightly and said to Madam Jiang, "My dear, I have disturbed you for a while. I will go home now."

With the help of Gu Jinchu, Madam Jiang stood up from the bed. As if the previous episode had never happened, she asked Wang to see her mother off.

Before stepping into the carriage, Old Lady Wang cheered up and said to Wang: "Yu Rou, your sister did something wrong and was punished... You don't blame mother in your heart, do you?"

Wang stood there and bowed respectfully to her mother, but there was a hint of indifference in her eyes.

She lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the marks on the shaft, and said calmly: "If it weren't for Master Jiang Wu who produced those evidences, would mother have ever thought about what would be waiting for her daughter?"

Madam Wang's eyes flickered slightly, "Although at present, you are still the wife of the prince of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion..."

She paused in the middle of her words, then whispered, "The Wang family will always be your mother's family. Your father and brothers are your support and your last resort."

Wang retracted her gaze, "Didn't mother just choose between me and my younger sister? I am also a mother, and I will not allow anyone to hurt my children."

If it weren't for Jiang Nansheng's change of fate, she would have been sent to the Jiang family temple. Soon, someone would replace her in the Dingguo Mansion.

Before lowering the curtain, Old Lady Wang said one last thing: "When no one can shake your position, the things you hold in your hands will never be taken away by others!"

...

When Wang returned to Minghuitang, the teacups in Liu and Zhang's hands were empty.

Mrs. Jiang looked very happy, and she was completely different from before. Her face was full of smiles and her eyes were full of joy.

When I came back, the words I had prepared in my mind were stuck in my throat for a while because of the appearance of my two sisters-in-law.

Because of her sister, the Fifth Madam was almost injured. Naturally, Madam Jiang would not tell her other two daughters-in-law.

Then why did she suddenly get rid of the gloom and smile so happily at this moment?

Liu put down the teacup, Rong Chang's face was full of smiles, and she looked at Wang and said, "Sister-in-law, you may not know yet, but Doctor Wu said that my sister-in-law is pregnant with twins!"

She glanced at Wang's pale face and turned her eyes away from her as if nothing had happened.

Then she said, "It's almost the New Year, and Nanny Yuan's classes are over. Sister Han made a tiger-head hat for her fifth aunt's unborn baby. I'll have to ask her to make another one when I get back."

Wang looked up and saw that Madam Jiang was holding a colorful and exquisite tiger-head hat in her hand.

During the time she was away, the Duke's wife was already smiling with joy over the good news.

She sat in a chair, took a sip of hot tea, and said, "I haven't congratulated my sister-in-law yet. This is really good news. It's worth celebrating."

Gu Jinchu smiled and said, "I accept the congratulations, but there's no need to celebrate. I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law, when you give birth in the future."

Wang put down her teacup and looked at Madam Jiang at the top of the table. "My daughter-in-law's headache has worsened recently. The doctor said she needs to rest. So she plans to stay at Huguo Temple for a while to pray for the elders and children at home."

He smiled faintly and continued, "So I'm afraid I'll have to trouble mother to take care of the housekeeping matters."
