"It was because you didn’t nip their affection in the bud that we ended up today with Xiaonian becoming estranged from us."
Xiao Ziyan coldly criticized Wei Yuandong, pushing the responsibility onto him.
Wei Yuandong was just a housekeeper, and he really had no standing to refute Xiao Ziyan, yet...
"In what way is Lili not good? Madam."
He lifted his head slightly, his cloudy eyes filled with incomprehension towards their prejudice against Lili.
"In what way is she good? Do you think a good girl would make a man break with his family because of her?"
Xiao Ziyan was not such an aggressive person by nature, but she watched as an initially close-knit family was rcilessly split by this marriage.
Wen Liangyu and Wen Nian, Wen Chou and Wen Nian, this grandfather-grandson and father-son conflict had beco a joke to many!
"Madam, if you truly give Lili a chance, she would definitely prove to you that Young Master Nian’s choice was not wrong."
"Wei Yuandong, what exactly is your relationship with this Song Lili?"
Xiao Ziyan promptly furrowed her brow.
"Madam, Lili is just a child who grew up in Ruicheng Military District Courtyard. I am only the housekeeper of the Wen Family, the housekeeper of Young Master Nian. There is really no relationship."
"Then why do you keep helping her? At a ti like this, shouldn’t you be encouraging her to know when to retreat? That way, the Wen family could be at peace, and the conflict between the grandfather and grandson could be resolved!"
"..."
"If you cannot be a housekeeper who considers the welfare of the Wen Family, then pack your things and don’t stir trouble here anymore."
"..."
Wei Yuandong stood there... Although he didn’t utter a word, his body shook slightly.
"Aunt Xiao, if you have any complaints, direct them at , throwing your anger at soone who’s served your family for half his lifeti is sowhat low-level."
Song Lili faintly heard Xiao Ziyan’s voice from the room; after all, that voice was unrestrained, seemingly intended for Song Lili upstairs to hear.
She was dressed in a loose nightgown, her hair casually unkempt, the makeup-free face slightly pale.
Despite being weak, getting off the bed wasn’t a problem.
Song Lili stood at the top of the stairs.
Xiao Ziyan, seeing Song Lili, was even more unable to keep her composure, let alone the word "low-level" that Song Lili had just used, which was certainly adding fuel to the fire.
"Say that again."
"Aunt Xiao taking out her anger on Housekeeper Wei is sowhat low-level."
Song Lili calmly repeated her statent.
Xiao Ziyan was once the woman she most admired, just like Song Xiangqiao in her past life. She envied their intelligence, capability, and pervasive confidence.
Everyone would find their beauty appealing and exotic.
Besides their appearance, there was also the temperant.
These were things the past Lili did not even dare to dream of... She could only envy them while quietly priding herself on having Wen Nian.
Xiao Ziyan was not an unreasonable person; on the contrary, she was more gentle and subtle than most in the Wen family.
But it was this gentleness and subtlety that deceived her completely.
Ultimately, she was a mber of the Wen family, the sa as Wen Liangyu and Wen Chou.
Xiao Ziyan narrowed her eyes, turning to look at Wei Yuandong,
"This is what you call ’good’?"
"..."
"A woman who points at her own mother-in-law and calls her low-level; tell , you think she’s good?"
Xiao Ziyan coldly twitched her lips.
"Mother-in-law? Since when did Aunt Xiao acknowledge as her daughter-in-law?"
Song Lili looked surprised.
"Xiao Li, talk less, just go back to your room and rest, did Dr. Ge not say you best not leave the bed?"
"I’d like so soup, Uncle Wei, could you help get a bowl from the kitchen?"
"..."
Wei Yuandong looked at Song Lili; it was clear she was trying to send him away.
"Uncle Wei, go ahead. Aunt Xiao doesn’t like , and I don’t like her either. This is, after all, the President Mansion, and it is my ho. There’s nothing to worry about."
"..."
Wei Yuandong stood there, a few other servants in the hall, witnessing the standoff between the President’s wife and President’s mother, shocked to their core.
Xiao Ziyan, however, seed to calm down at that mont.
She chuckled lightly,
"Yes, Wei Yuandong, Song Lili is so capable, are you really afraid I might eat her up?"
Saying that, she took steps towards the stairs.
"I’m not here today to argue with Song Lili; I just ca to see my granddaughter."
"Sorry, Aunt Xiao, the child is too young now, it’s best not to get too close to strangers. If Aunt Xiao wants to see the child, you can co after the baby’s full moon."
