Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1442 - 1380: Infighting

Madam Wang felt chilled and disappointed at Wu Lihong’s accusations and disdain, thinking to herself that this man was truly useless, only capable of blaming others without ever admitting his own faults.

Looking at Wu Lihong’s face, Madam Wang’s stomach churned, just seeing him made her feel nauseous.

This man truly disgusted her!

Completely losing hope and affection for Wu Lihong, Madam Wang spoke with increasing disregard and sharpness: "All this is just the romantic debt you brought upon yourself. When you were getting cozy with that woman, did you ever consider the situation now?"

"Did I stop you from taking a concubine? You should think about it, do they even care for you?" Madam Wang sneered, "Marry a second wife? Do you believe that if I separate from you now and give up the position of Legitimate Wife, they wouldn’t care for it either!"

"Shut your mouth!" Wu Lihong’s face turned red and white from her provocation, snapping angrily, "What did I say to you? You’re speaking with thorns, can’t you see me as your husband anymore?"

"I don’t need you to say anything; your eyes have already spoken your mind!"

"You..."

"Both of you shut up!" Old Madam Wu saw the pair about to argue again and shouted angrily, "At times like this, you’re still arguing like cats and dogs, are you tired of living?"

Madam Wang felt wronged and turned her head aside: "Mother, is this my fault? He blames me; was it me who stopped them from joining this family? Am I the one who disturbs the peace of this household? Was it me who sent someone to steal that Marriage Certificate? And now, we are bitten back, and it seems they want us Wu Family women to have no escape."

Old Madam Wu, with a stern face, said: "The eldest made this decision for your own good. Really letting that thing be held by her would just be a hold over us. Now it’s ineffective, and they haven’t done anything yet, and you are already fighting amongst yourselves!"

She, too, felt very troubled and despairing; in times when the household wasn’t peaceful, what could she do?

Madam Wang said no more!

"Eldest, you shut up too!" Old Madam Wu gave her son a glare, though Madam Wang could no longer utter kind words, she had spoken one truth, the unrest was stirred up by the eldest himself.

Wu Lihong snorted lightly, took up the tea, and drank a sip.

"The matter has reached this point, fighting won’t solve anything, the rift is already there, it’s better to resolve it." Old Madam Wu said coldly.

"Mother, they are unyielding, how can it be resolved?" Wu Lihong was also quite troubled.

Old Madam Wu hated the people and affairs of Changqing Residence deeply, if time could rewind, she would have rather the mother and daughter never appeared, and return to those peaceful times of the past.

But no matter the hatred, she knew their family’s position was not stronger than the opponent’s now; just considering tonight’s affair, they silently threw a man into the residence, what about next time?

The power that the others held brought Old Madam Wu an unprecedented threat, her anger mingled with apprehension!

And people tend to seek the good and avoid the bad; when faced with apprehension and fear, unable to confront, one can only retreat and concede.

"Better to mend than make enemies; we can only step back. Tomorrow, all of you come with me to visit Changqing Residence again, talk with that girl, to see what she really wants to hand over the Marriage Certificate and pretend this never happened!" Old Madam Wu said with a stern face: "Even if it means bowing and retreating again and again, we must satisfy them! And as for anything else, don’t even think about it!"

Those powerful people, they couldn’t even be considered, if that girl were easy to talk to, she wouldn’t have caused such a disturbance!
