Finally, Shi Fenghua, without even notifying him, left with Sang Yufei to join others at the academy. This set Ren Zhixian off, venting his full resentnt at Shi Yui.
Shi Yui beca furious as well, snapping angrily: "How preposterous! The Sang siblings are bullying us too much! Do they really think the Shi family is their own ho? First one stirs trouble, then the other! Absolutely absurd! Just watch how I teach her a lesson; she really thinks too highly of herself!"
Shi Yui, too angry to care about lunch, went straight to Ningyuan with a cold expression, accompanied by Cui Zhu.
Sang Wan had just finished lunch and was having tea in the warm pavilion. Upon hearing that her elder sister-in-law had arrived, she hurriedly got up to welco her.
Before she could even leave the warm pavilion, Shi Yui, livid with rage, barged in by throwing aside the curtain and pointed at Sang Wan with a sneer: "Look at the grand Madam of the Shi family, how impressive! Now even scorning us, her husband and herself! Such audacity the Sang family mbers display, swaggering about on Shi family territory with such disdain for others, how excessive! Are we next to be driven out? Is becoming a Xie Yuan really that great? What does it even have to do with the Shi family? We certainly don’t need to ride on that glory to decorate our face! What nonsense!"
"Big sister, what are you talking about?" Sang Wan was left bewildered by the barrage of abuse, feeling embarrassed. After a mont of astonished anger, she retorted, "If you have sothing to say, speak plainly. What have I done to displease you?"
"Your very presence displeases !" Shi Yui spat out, pointing at her: "Can’t you look at yourself in the mirror? Are we, the Shi family, soone you, from a declining household, could ever match up to! You vixen, what bewitching tricks did you use to spin our Fengju around in circles! Your second brother is no good either, leading my third brother astray every day, and isolating him from his own brother-in-law! Bah! You probably think my naïve and simple third brother will be seen through by our Master, don’t you! Both you and your brother are good-for-nothings!"
Mrs. Li, Xingzhi, and other maids hurriedly tried to pull and persuade Shi Yui away, while Liu Ya supported Sang Wan in silence. Sang Wan was completely stunned, realizing for the first ti the depth of Shi Yui’s profound and venomous hatred; this was beyond the usual jealousy and bitterness between sisters-in-law.
"Big sister, you must have evidence for what you say! Although our Sang family is not as rich as the Shi family, we are a decent and respectable family. From childhood, our siblings were taught by our parents and elders, understanding every principle and abiding by them all. Don’t throw accusations around in your speech. What exactly are you accusing of, or is it my second brother you’re speaking against? If you’re unhappy I married into the Shi family, don’t take it up with —I wasn’t the one who arranged the marriage, nor did I send out the matchmakers and the wedding sedan! And if it’s about my second brother, I really don’t understand what he has done to make you so angry. His being with your third brother doesn’t seem to have inconvenienced you at all!"
"This is outrageous! How dare you talk back to ! Sang Wan, you even dare to argue!" Shi Yui was so infuriated that she lunged at Sang Wan, ready to settle scores.
Mrs. Li, Xingzhi, and the others desperately tried to hold her back, "Elder sister-in-law! Elder sister-in-law! Please calm down, let’s talk this over slowly!"
"Let go of !" Shi Yui struggled furiously, shouting angrily, "Sang Wan! You really have nerve! You command a houseful of slaves to bully ! Fine, fine! Let’s see what my mother will say when she finds out if you have the guts to keep them from releasing !"
Sang Wan was too angry to speak, "Big sister, I still don’t understand what you’re talking about! What do you an by insinuations? It’s your business if you find unpleasant or dislike , I have no say in that, but what on earth do you want by making such a scene at my door? My second brother was rely invited by our mother and Fengju to visit, I really cannot fathom how he’s getting in your way!"
Shi Yui, with an icy glare, forcefully wrenched away from Mrs. Li and others, sneered: "You don’t know? Hah, you really play the innocent well! I want to ask you, what has our Master ever done to you for that boy to ingratiate himself with Fenghua and ignore his own brother-in-law? What? Is it that only your Sang family are scholars and no one else is worthy? You’ve beco a Xie Yuan and now act as if your tail reaches the sky! As if you’d like to trample everyone underfoot!"
The more Shi Yui spoke, the angrier she beca, with old grudges and new grievances bubbling up, "This is what I can’t stand about you! Full of petty, broken-down sches, you pretend innocence! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you’ll really start to think that everybody in the Shi family is a fool!"
