Chapter 483: The Second Brother’s Humbleness and Dignity Once Wei San left, Bai Zepei stroked the horse’s fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew it was not a very good horse, but given their family’s current situation, it was already a considerable risk for his sister to bring this horse home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It thrilled him a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of his peers rode horses to the Academy, some even planned to ride together to the outskirts after the New Year to cook wine and enjoy the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not responded at that time, for he did not know how to ride a horse, and they did not own any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his sister had thought it all out for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had bought a horse home and even arranged someone to care for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this journey, his sister had done so much for him and for their family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what could he do for her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, he told Bai Ruozhu, “I’m going to visit the Meng Residence and may not be home for dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please let our parents know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu opened her mouth, but in the end, chose not to stop her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a scholar, Zepei had his dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she stopped him, it might affect his state of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the matter had spread to the Study Palace in Beiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not only her reputation at stake, but also her brother’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Bai Ruozhu had Wei San drive Zepei to Meng Residence and return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Leisure Residence of Meng Family, the old lady with a stern face, spoke coldly to Wang Miaoshuang who had the same chilling aura, “Miss Wang, ever since you entered through that door, when did I ever intimidate you as your mother-in-law?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did I make rules for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Miaoshuang didn’t speak, but the disdain on her face was clear that she was saying; it all depended on whether you dare or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady snorted coldly and said, “Do you really think your status is so noble that I dare not do anything to you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That I have to respect and fear you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, we, the Meng family, may not be a noble house, but we’re not far from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the late Empress loved you deeply, she has long passed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Empress is the former Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much do you think she loves you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a princess respects her in-law’s customs when she marries into a family, you’re not even a real Duchess, do you think we are afraid of you?” The old lady’s tone became colder as Wang Miaoshuang continued to be obstinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am old and have experienced many storms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have begun to see many things lightly, and I did not want to argue with you, a younger generation, about insignificant matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as our family is harmonious, everything else can be negotiated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Liangshen is an important official of the Emperor, the harmony of this backyard is crucial to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have been given the power to manage this household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has this household been managed well under your supervision?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at all the scandals that have manifested, do you think the Meng Residence is some upstart’s household?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Miaoshuang coldly remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re afraid of people finding out, then don’t do such shameful things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t change your ways, I’ll submit a petition to the Emperor myself, and don’t blame me for not warning you beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the petition reaches the Emperor, Liangshen will surely divorce you,” the old lady snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman was foolish to the extreme, she still didn’t realize the grave mistake she had made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surely the Emperor is not biased towards the Meng Family?” Wang Miaoshuang said discontentedly, “Liability rests with Lord Meng first of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it appropriate for a lord of a City to be leading such an indecent lifestyle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady glared back harshly, “Shut your damn mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of filthy thoughts do you have in your head?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t you know how vulgar you sound?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me tell you now, what Liangshen did was a task assigned by the Emperor, and it was a secret mission signed by the three parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re not afraid of death, just keep making a scene!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your death isn’t surprising, but be careful not to bring down your entire family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Miaoshuang’s head buzzed, a three-party signed secret mission, how could this be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the Emperor’s secret mission have anything to do with Bai Ruozhu?” Wang Miaoshuang asked incredulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still a glimmer of hope in her eyes as if she wanted to see a trace of lying in the old lady’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady sneered, “The details of the secret mission is not something you and I can question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t believe it, you’re welcome to definitely try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invitation I plan to submit to the Emperor will not affect the Meng Residence too much, it’s merely about divorce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess your father should also forget about appearing before the Emperor again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Miaoshuang’s anger finally vanished and in its place, was depression and despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mumbled, “How did this happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn’t anyone tell me from the start?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t even manage this house, can’t even control the people around you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The penalty for leaking a secret mission is beheading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would dare tell you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, should things about the officialdom really be discussed with women folks?” There was no trace of kindness on the old lady’s face anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look in her eye towards Wang Miaoshuang was filled with disgust and disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am giving you three days to settle this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do not want Liangshen to be impeached due to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the matter cannot be settled satisfactorily, I will submit this petition to the Capital as soon as possible, and you’d better prepare to leave the Meng Residence!” The old lady then tapped the petition on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Miaoshuang didn’t know how she managed to walk out of the Leisure Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought about Lord Meng, undoubtedly angry, regretful that she wanted to apologize in the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, she had been blocked outside the study and dared not force her way in, leaving no choice but to weep going back to her own backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Meng Liangshen’s study, Bai Zepei stood upright, saying neither servilely nor overbearingly, “Although my sister is not an eligible bachelorette, her reputation should not be tarnished like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please, sir, let the person who made the mistake apologize to my sister publicly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Liangshen massaged his temples, the headache intensifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never could have imagined that the matter would spread to the Study Palace in the North Beiyu, but he knew his wife’s temperament all too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would not be easy to make her apologize to Bai Ruozhu, let alone publicly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please give my sister justice, sir, and allow me to raise my head high in the future!” Bai Zepei continued to speak neither servilely nor overbearingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words, however, felt more and more pressing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Liangshen had heard rumors outside as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people said that Bai Zepei had offered his sister to Meng Liangshen, and that was why Meng Liangshen had recommended him to join the Class A in the Study Palace in the North Beiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement was not only insulting to Bai Zepei but also to him, Meng Liangshen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was getting impatient at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Zepei and said, “Speaking to me this way, aren’t you afraid I’ll punish you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe that sir is a fair and impartial official.” Bai Zepei bowed and said, his expression still showing no fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the fearless young man in front of him, Meng Liangshen couldn’t help but recall himself twenty years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his principles and fearlessness against authority that earned him the favor of the current Emperor and led him to his position today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately…now he was incapable of managing everything, and his backyard was in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he sighed and said, “The title of a good official is too burdensome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even makes it hard for me to say no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay, I promise you, if my wife insists on not apologizing to Miss Bai in public, I will divorce her and explain to the everyone in the city and apologize to Miss Bai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei was stunned before gratitude filled his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knelt down immediately and said, “Thank you, sir, for being fair and just!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1444,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","095b8c1f5436501d8a78a49bf933fb857ec57cde53739d25963931d370913448","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-482","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-480",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
