Chapter 397: Third Sister-in-law Is A Smart Person

“Also, I heard that they brought back two children from outside. Do you think she had those two children with someone else? The last time she went out, she must have used some kind of witchcraft to make Fourth Uncle agree to adopt the children.”

“Definitely. She used to have a gigolo before. These children must be gigolo’s.”

“What right does such a person have to be Fourth Uncle’s wife?”

“That’s right. It’s best if we can persuade Grandpa to let First Uncle divorce her. That way, she’ll be nothing.”

“Other than knowing some witchcraft, I don’t think she knows anything that upper-class women know. As the head of the Qi family, I’m worried that she will ruin the Qi family’s reputation.”

“Cough cough!”

“This kind of person…”

“Cough cough!”

The women, who finally felt that something was wrong, turned around to find Butler Zhang staring at them, and their expressions instantly changed.

Butler Zhang smiled and said, “Ladies, I saw that you guys were discussing Madam very excitedly. Why don’t I talk to Madam and get her to praise you?”

The women’s faces instantly turned pale and they broke out in cold sweat.

The smile on Butler Zhang’s face suddenly disappeared, and his expression turned stern.

The young women felt a chill run down their spines.

Butler Zhang said coldly, “Madam said before that no one is allowed to discuss her in the Qi family. Looks like you guys don’t have a good memory.”

With that said, he turned and left.

The women were so anxious that they were about to cry.

“What should we do? He must have gone to complain to Fourth Aunt.”

“Will we be punished?”

“I’m so scared.”

Butler Zhang walked up to Tang Li and called her, “Madam.”

Tang Li was listening to the old women talk about childbirth and was already a little impatient. She asked, “What is it?”

Butler Zhang repeated what the women had just said in front of everyone.

Before Tang Li could say anything, the group of old women sitting around her looked displeased.

They were all internally scolding their daughters for being insensible.

Before they came, they had told their daughters repeatedly not to say anything bad about Tang Li here, but they actually ignored them.

One of the old women quicklys spoke first.

“Tang Li, my granddaughter, she is just being silly and insensible. Don’t be angry. I’ll definitely teach her a lesson later.”

“That’s right. I’ll definitely educate my granddaughter later. You’re the head of the Qi family. How dare they talk about you behind your back? Kids nowadays are getting more and more outrageous.”

“Don’t be angry. We will punish them. You don’t have to do it yourself.”

Tang Li glanced at everyone. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, but no one could tell if she was angry or not.

Just when everyone was wondering what she was thinking, she said to Butler Zhang, “Bring all the people who said bad things about me to the ancestral hall to copy the Qi family’s teachings. When they are done, they can come out. Before finishing, they are not allowed to eat.”

These words made the old women anxious.

No matter how fast one copied the Qi family’s teachings, it would take at least two to three days!

“Tang Li, is that necessary? It’d take them ages to finish copying the Qi family’s teachings.”

“That’s right. We’re all here to attend the wedding banquet. Why are you being a party pooper?”

Tang Li sneered. “If you don’t want them to copy, then take them away. From now on, you don’t have to come to the Qi Mansion anymore.”

“You…” This was too much!

“Let me remind you that I am in charge of the Qi family right now. If I let everyone talk bad about me behind my back, will I be respected?”

These words shut the old women up.

Butler Zhang took the young women away with a few servants.

Looking at the group of juniors who were taken away, everyone was no longer in the mood to chat.

Tang Li did not want to stay with this group of people anymore. She stood up and said, “I’m tired. I’m going back to rest.”

With that, she left.

Looking at the departing figure, the group of old women dared not say anything.

Shortly after Tang Li left, she heard Third Madam’s voice.

“Fourth Sister-in-law.”

Tang Li stopped and turned around. She happened to see the Tan family’s mother and daughter standing a little further away.

Then, she looked at Third Madam and asked, “What is it?”

After Third Madam walked up to her, she said, “You did the right thing just now. These people want to manipulate you because you’re young and don’t know anything. Also, don’t take the matter of not having children to heart. Whether you have children or not is up to you and Fourth Brother. It has nothing to do with them.”

Tang Li tilted her head to look at Third Madam.

Third Madam continued with a genuine smile, “Don’t think I’m up to no good. I’ve really thought it through. You and Fourth Brother are both capable. Only you can make the Qi family better. As a family, we should be united. Only then will the family prosper. Families plagued by internal strife never last long.”

Tang Li nodded in agreement and said, “Third Sister-in-law is a smart person.”

Third Madam smiled and said, “You and Fourth Brother are the smart ones. Otherwise, this family would have been on the decline long ago.”

Tang Li smiled and did not reply.

Third Madam then told her about these Qi members. “If you don’t like to socialize with them, Second Sister-in-law and I will handle them in the next few days. Although Second Sister-in-law is sometimes muddle-headed, at least she knows how to put on an act.”

Tang Li definitely wanted that.

Looking at the two madams who were walking away, Tan Wenjing and Mrs. Tan, who wanted to follow Tang Li, gave up on the idea.

Mrs. Tan said to Tan Wenjing with a complicated expression, “Fourth Madam has a lot of say in the house. After you marry Hao, you must please her. If you follow her, your life will be better in the future.”

“Mom, I know.”

Tan Wenjing knew very well.

Third Madam followed Tang Li for a while before returning to entertain the relatives.

Tang Li walked back to her house. At that moment, Butler Yang and Butler Zhang were not around. Qiqi and Linlin were both in the backyard.

They could feel the spiritual energy emanating from the herbs Tang Li planted, so they liked to come here whenever they had time.

Tang Li walked to the backyard and saw the two of them sitting on a chair. The two little ones were nestled in the large chair, looking very lovely.

Qiqi noticed Tang Li first. When she walked over, he held the tablet and called her, “Godmother.”

Linlin also quickly looked up and said to her with a smile, “Godmother, Qiqi and I have already entered the finals.”
