Chapter 1835 - 1831: The Wicked Daughter-in-law
Very soon, the day of the full moon celebration arrived.
Early in the morning, the Mu Family was all prepared.
The place for the full moon celebration was quite spacious.
They invited plenty of children from various families just for fun.
So, the entire clubhouse was almost decorated to resemble an amusement park, and many children started playing around as soon as they arrived.
Inside, quite a few people had already brought gifts. The butler, with his hand still in a sling, was both holding his arm and counting the gifts when someone came over and asked, "Hey, Butler Chen, what’s wrong with your hand?" He chuckled without saying who broke it, simply replying, "I accidentally bumped it, and injuries like this take a hundred days to heal."
Meanwhile, Sui Qinglan kept badmouthing Ye Ning every time someone came by.
She even cried to people, saying she’s been subdued by her daughter-in-law and has no idea how to deal with her.
Nearby, the aunts started talking.
"How can you say that? Her son was born to your family; it means she’s going to have the upper hand in the future."
Sui Qinglan said angrily, "It’s just because my husband passed away early. Now look at me—what can I do? You tell me, she decides everything herself, even naming the baby Tangdou. What kind of name is that?"
"They’re still young; it’s like a joke. How can names be randomly picked?"
"Exactly, I suggested getting a nanny for her, but she refused. What’s up with that?"
"It is a bit much."
"Right? How can she do this?"
"Don’t be afraid; you’re not alone. You have us here."
Sui Qinglan said, "What can you all do for me? Drive her away?"
"Driving her away isn’t possible, since the child was born. But Grandpa shouldn’t just let her mess around. You’ve cried alone, and he doesn’t care, but we’ll back you up. Talk to Grandpa, and talk to Ye Ning as well; after all, she’s still a young girl. She intimidates you because you’re timid, old-fashioned, and too honest, but we’re all here backing you up—is she not supposed to be scared?"
Sui Qinglan listened and thought this made sense.
While they were talking, someone mentioned that Ye Ning and Mu Yeli had come over holding the baby.
Ye Ning was wearing a bright red outfit, and at the sight of that splash of red, everyone tilted their heads to look.
They wanted to see what the child of Mu Yeli looked like now that there was finally one.
Besides, recently Sui Qinglan had been talking about Ye Ning everywhere, spreading the name of Ye Ning as the wicked daughter-in-law all over. People gathered to see the commotion, wondering what made Ye Ning so wicked.
However, seeing Ye Ning come over in that striking red, her arrival was calm and serene. There wasn’t any sense of a wicked woman.
Listening to Sui Qinglan, everyone imagined evil women from TV dramas, full of fat from childbirth, glaring wickedly when yelling, making people quite annoyed.
Yet, looking at Ye Ning, there wasn’t any sense of fat. She appeared slim and didn’t look like the wicked daughter-in-law they imagined.
Then, Sui Qinglan directly remarked, "Hmph, look, she even has a child and dresses up flamboyantly. Who is she trying to attract?"
Everyone was watching and also felt that their daughter-in-law was truly good-looking.
