Chapter 591: Grandma Scolds the first Madam

first Madam snorted coldly, glancing in the direction of Aunt Xue.

"See that? That's what real maternal love and filial piety look like. She doesn't even regard you as a competent stepmother."

Evidently, the news of Aunt Xue secretly seeking favor with Shu Yu had already reached the Shu family's ears. Aunt Xue had a slap mark on her face, indicating that she had been beaten by the Shu family members.

Hearing the first Madam words, Aunt Xue's gaze towards Shu Yu turned resentful. "Some people are like ungrateful wolves raised in one's home."

Shu Yu lifted her head and looked at the Shu family members with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "What's the matter? You've forgotten how to be gentle in these few days without hitting me? Ungrateful? Have any of you treated me kindly?"

The Shu family members were instantly silenced, and Aunt Xue's anger intensified.

Shu Yu shifted her gaze back and spoke to Hou Shi, "Then I'll take my leave now."

Hou Shi was about to nod when an old lady entered the room. "Ah Yu, are you still not feeling well?"

The old lady was genuinely worried. Waiting outside for so long without seeing anyone come out, she began to worry that the Shu family was mistreating Ah Yu.

She knew very well how the Shu family treated Ah Yu. Even if Ah Yu didn't say anything, she could still guess.

So, after waiting for a long time without seeing anyone come out, she couldn't help but rush in to check on her.

The Shu family members originally intended to enter the room, but when they saw the unfamiliar old lady, they all paused and stared at her.

"Who are you?"

With just one glance, the old lady knew who was who.

The one standing beside Ah Yu must be Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss. As for the row of women at the entrance of the hall, they must be the unpleasant Shu family members.

The old lady stepped forward, straightened her chest, and said, "Me? I am Ah Yu's paternal grandmother. You all must be the women from the Shu family. Indeed, every one of you is so sharp-tongued, spiteful, and overbearing. Clearly, none of you look like you will have a good life. No wonder my Ah Yu ended up in this wretched place because of you people."

She paused for a moment, then turned to Hou Shi to explain, "I didn't mean you, though."

She had learned a few phrases from Old Hu, and it felt great to use them.

Just after they met, the Shu family members were scolded by this unfamiliar old lady, and her choice of words was extremely impolite.

The Mistress of the Shu family was immediately furious. "Who do you think you are, an old hag, barging into someone else's house and causing a ruckus? Have you no manners?"

Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. How dare she insult her grandmother?

She was about to act, but the old lady stopped her, stepped forward, and scolded, "You have manners, yet you ended up exiled here to toil like a common laborer, not washing your face or cleaning yourself, smelling disgusting, worse than a beggar. Do you still think you're the high and mighty Prefect's Lady? Pah! Just look at you now, not even as good as a beggar. Truly, you are nothing!"

The first Madam was so angry

that she nearly fainted. Her head was spinning, and she pointed at the old lady but couldn't say a word. "You...you..."

"What about me? Did I say something wrong?"

"I'll kill you." The first Madam was furious and looked around. She picked up a broom nearby and charged towards the old lady.

Shu Yu stepped forward, but unexpectedly, the old lady blocked her again. She didn't move either, just stood there and shouted, "Da Niu, attack!"

Shu Yu, "..."

Zhao Xi at the door felt like he was going to spurt blood. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes and rushed in without saying a word.
