Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

If Ye Jian and Qin Xiu truly had some relationship, then Madam Li’s words would indeed leave a thorn in the heart of Old Madam Qin, from a very strict and well-born family, allowing Madam Li to succeed and get her way.

However, the two families were close, with a generation that had supported each other through thick and thin, sharing a profound revolutionary friendship so deep that each family’s affair was like their own, becoming one family.

Thus, any attempt by Madam Li to stir up trouble would seem ridiculous, like a clown performing on stage.

Old Madam Qin’s polite expression disappeared, and her gaze towards Madam Li turned icy in an instant; the firm aura of the older generation spread, causing Du Jiayi to feel an involuntary jab in her heart.

She moved slightly closer to Madam Li and spoke in a lowered voice so that only the two of them could hear, ”Mom, stop talking. That wretched girl will win the favor of the elder, I see Old Madam likes her very much. If we keep on this way, we might even cause Old Madam to dislike us.”

Madam Li, however, laughed. She was well aware that Old Madam might feel some aversion, but she could not help herself when she thought about how her own brother had been killed by this helpless girl who relied solely on her pretty face to deceive others.

”Ye Jian girl, Grandma Qin needs to give you a lesson today. In this world, we always hear rumors and gossips; some are casual remarks, some are said deliberately to please others, some are carelessly spoken but misunderstood by others, and then there are those that are vicious, intending to trample a person to death. You are still young and might not yet understand how frightening people’s words can be. When you encounter such people or situations, either crush them mercilessly or dismiss their words and later teach them a lesson.”

”Grandma Qin was tough when she was young, and although she has mellowed a lot in her old age, her nature hasn’t changed. She treats you like her own granddaughter and can’t bear to see you being stepped on.”

”No father, no mother, no one to rely on? Does that make our Qin family all dead?”

Madam Li’s face truly turned ugly then, as Old Madam Qin implied that she was malicious and dishonest, taking advantage of her old age to bully a young person!

Very well, very well, it is not in vain that she is the Old Madam of a diplomatic family; her words are like knives, cutting into the flesh of people’s hearts.

Ye Jian, this little wretch, truly has her ways, having charmed both Little Six and Qin Xiu, and even managed to make Qin Xiu cherish her over his own beloved daughter, bringing her home and treating her like a treasure!

With her face turning from green to white, Madam Li took several deep breaths, thinking about what to say next.

As soon as Ye Jian heard these words, she knew Old Madam Qin was standing up for her; in fact, it didn’t really matter to her. Being criticized a bit didn’t bother her at all, with no real harm done; if Madam Li liked to speak in front of Old Madam, then let her speak.

The more she speaks, the more mistakes she makes; the more mistakes, the less she will be liked by Old Madam, and the worse her impression will be.

It turns out, the one at a disadvantage isn’t herself, but Madam Li.

”Grandma Qin...” Ye Jian was just about to speak when Qin Xiu suddenly coughed softly, intentionally interrupting her, and said lightly, ”Madam Li seems to have the leisure to meddle in other’s affairs, which suggests that the affairs of the Li family are not as troublesome as Madam Li has claimed.”

”Unable to resolve her own family’s issues yet still able to meddle in others’, Madam Li, are you looking to add more chaos to your already troubled house?”
