Mdm Wang had been beaten up by Shi Qingluo the last time.

She could not help but startled when she saw her cold expression.

Mdm Wu knew that they could not win against Shi Qingluo, so she wouldn’t make things difficult for herself.

Hence, she racked her brain and turned to look at Shi Qingluo. “Our daughter-in-law, what are you saying?

“I am your third aunt, and she is your eldest aunt. How can we be unrelated to you by blood?”

!!
Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. “If I remember correctly, not long ago, my husband broke off his family ties with you.

“So what kind of relatives are you? Aren’t you afraid of making yourself a joke here?”

Mdm Wu choked. “Even if you break off your family ties, you are still part of the Xiao family.

“Even if you don’t acknowledge us, you must at least acknowledge your grandparents, right? You can’t lose your conscience and not even acknowledge your elders.”

She said meaningfully, “Xiao Hanzheng still has to take his imperial examinations in the future.”

Shi Qingluo realised that this Mdm Wu was much more difficult to deal with than Mdm Wang.

However, there wasn’t any effect of using moral values to set traps on Shi Qingluo.

She sneered and said, “First of all, we have moved out and stayed at a different residence and have cut our relationship with the Xiao Family. Even our father is no longer our father. Are our grandparents still our grandparents?

“The documents written previously are still there. After we broke off our ties with the Xiao Family, our small family is no longer related to all of you.

“Besides, my husband’s father went to the capital for a luxurious and happy life, he didn’t even care about his parents.”

“My husband is Xiao’s grandson who was chased out to live on his own. If he were to interfere, wouldn’t that be putting his father in an unfilial place? That’s not very good.

“With this unfilial crime, my husband’s disowned father will be summoned to the courtiers. I don’t know if he can still preserve his rank as a senior general.

“After all, the entire Daling dynasty has never heard of a son who still had to help his former father in his filial duties after being kicked out of the house.

“If Senior General Xiao really does this, what’s the difference between him and an animal?

“Have you asked him what he thinks?

“If he thinks that he needs my husband to fulfil his filial duties for him as a son who has no father-son relationship with him, even though it’s neither logical nor legal, we still accept it.”

This was mocking the senior general for chasing his son out of the Xiao Family, but still wanted his son to be filial.

What a shameless fellow.

Mdm Wu was speechless. How could Hanzheng’s wife be so good at talking?

How was she supposed to refute?

They were indeed unreasonable and just wanted to use filial piety to pressure Hanzheng.

Who knew that this wretched girl would immediately implicate her formal father-in-law for being unfilial.

They weren’t pleased with Xiao’s second son either.

After becoming a general, he came back to make offerings to his ancestors, gave that woman a genealogy, left some money behind and returned to the capital again.

They were unhappy about it, but they couldn’t show it on their faces.

After all, they still had to rely on his reputation to survive.

Since he became a general, the villagers had become much more polite to them.

Mdm Wang felt that Hanzheng’s wife was really bold. “How dare you call the great general an animal? He is still your father-in-law.”

Shi Qingluo glanced at her mockingly. “When I married Hanzheng, he already broke off his ties with my husband. I don’t dare to say he is my father-in-law, so please don’t anyhow craft new kinships for us.

“I’m saying that people who are unfilial to their parents are animals. You actually linked it to the senior general. Are you saying that he is really an unfilial animal?

“No wonder after he became successful, he married his mistress, doted on her and destroyed his wife.

“He even demoted his wife to a mistress and eventually divorced his wife. He abandoned his wife and children, but now it seems that he doesn’t even want his parents anymore!”

“Tsk tsk, Senior General Xiao is so mighty. He actually dares to openly go against His Majesty’s policy of ruling the world with filial piety.

“This could wipe out his entire family. We have already broken off our families and won’t be implicated, but you guys can’t escape it.”
