Other than Old Master Shi and the younger generation, Old Lady Shi had brought her eldest, second, and third sons and daughters-in-law and her fourth son along.

The few of them watched as Bai Xu left with a carriage in embroidered clothes.

Their eyes were filled with envy and greed.

Mother Xiao wanted to welcome her but was stopped by Shi Qingluo.

She winked at Mother Xiao. "Mother, bring the younger ones to the backyard to feed the chickens and ducks."

Mother Xiao immediately understood.

This was because her daughter-in-law didn't want her to entertain the Shi family.

She actually didn't like them.

She initially thought that since they were in-laws, she should be more polite.

Now that her daughter-in-law had said so, she didn't need to pretend to be polite anymore.

She smiled and nodded. "Alright, I'll bring them over now."

Then, she really brought the two children to the backyard.

Old Lady Shi and Mdm Niu frowned when they saw this.

She tried to provoke Shi Qingluo. "Isn't your mother-in-law too rude? She didn't even entertain her in-laws when we came."

Shi Qingluo first looked at Xiao Hanzheng, signaling that he did not need to pay attention to the Shi family's troublemakers.

Then, she looked at them.

She raised her eyebrows. "Didn't you hear that I was the one who asked my mother-in-law to go to the backyard? Are you all worthy of my mother-in-law's hospitality? You're thinking too much."

Old Lady Shi and the others were speechless.

Was this vile creature speaking in human language?

Mdm Niu cursed this daughter and her retributions in her heart.

Her skin was thicker, and she looked at Xiao Hanzheng with a face full of smiles. "My son-in-law's illness has recovered? You really look like a talented person."

He was the youngest elementary scholar in the villages nearby and looked even better than the dukes in the county town.

If she knew that chongxi would really wake him up, she would have let her second or third daughter do it. How could she let her vile eldest daughter benefit from this?

This wretched girl had really profited.

Xiao Hanzheng's faint smile without replying revealed his cold attitude toward them

If his little wife still had some face for the Shi family, he would also be polite.

However, his wife hated the Shi family's troublemakers and she even gave him that glance.

He would listen to her then.

Shi Qingluo pointed at a chair not far away and said, "Sit down."

Old Lady Shi brought a few of them over and sat.

They did not want to stand up either.

Just as they were about to speak, Shi Qingluo stood up.

Shi Qingluo walked to a corner of the courtyard and picked up a vine that Mother Xiao used for weaving baskets.

She placed it in her hand and patted it lightly a few times.

Only then did she walk back in front of the Shi family's troublemakers.
