After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 153 Jiang Mianmian Protects Her Eldest Daughter-in-Law

If it were anyone else, she might have been able to persuade them to quietly join her in watching the drama unfold. However, when she saw that it was Xi Linyu, her arch-enemy, she knew that this approach wouldn't work.

You see, this woman is like a donkey; the more you forbid her from doing anything, the more energetic she becomes, as if she's taken some kind of poison, and she'll insist on doing the opposite of what you ask.

A flippant "Yo ho~" was heard, followed by Celine Yu's sarcastic words: "What are you doing with your finger in your mouth?"

"Could it be that you're up to some shady business? Could it be... you're secretly running off to meet another man behind your husband's back?"

After saying that, Xi Linyu unceremoniously plopped down opposite Li Tingxue, making it clear that she was determined to stay there no matter what.

She continued her rambling: "Didn't you say before that your love with your husband was stronger than gold and that you were very affectionate?"

Tsk tsk tsk!

"Li Tingxue, look at yourself! This is what you call 'good'? You're actually sneaking around outside behind your husband's back..."

"Shh...please keep your voice down!" Li Tingxue pleaded in a low voice, her face full of embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, when Xi Linyu saw her like this, her eyes lit up. Instead of lowering her voice, she suddenly raised her tone and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"What's wrong? You have the guts to cheat on your husband with another man, but you don't even have the courage to let me tell you? Li Tingxue, do you really think you're someone important?"

[Li Tingxue?]

These three words immediately reached Jiang Mianmian's ears, instantly drawing her attention.

Upon hearing the noise, Jiang Mianmian quickly turned around and looked behind her, only to find that the commotion was coming from a corner of the teahouse.

But she had never seen that woman before; she was a complete stranger.

Surprisingly, every word the woman spoke was now clearly audible to her, and she understood the meaning behind it.

"Heh, what are you hiding for? Are you planning to just hide under the table? Li Tingxue, just how shameful are you doing... to warrant this..."

"Hey, don't grab my clothes! This is brand new! Besides, I'm not like you. I've always acted uprightly and honestly, with a clear conscience. I have absolutely nothing to be afraid of..."

Just as the two were tugging at each other, Jiang Mianmian finally couldn't help but stand up and could vaguely catch a glimpse of a familiar figure.

However, due to some obstruction to her vision, she could only make out half of a blurry figure.

She was filled with doubt, completely baffled as to why her eldest daughter-in-law had suddenly appeared in this place.

After all, logically speaking, she and the boss have a pretty good relationship, so this affair...

It shouldn't have anything to do with her either!

What puzzled her even more was that she hadn't noticed anything about her eldest daughter-in-law's possible infidelity.

Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Huh, I haven't seen any new plot developments either?"

[Could it be that this detail wasn't mentioned at all in the plot analysis of the eldest daughter-in-law? Or is it because the plot is lagging behind, which is why it hasn't been updated in time?]

The moment the thought popped into her head, she immediately dismissed it.

But in the past few days, I haven't heard of my eldest daughter-in-law arguing with my eldest son or having any disagreements. The young couple usually get along quite well...

Thinking about this, Jiang Mianmian felt that there was something strange about this matter.

However, she can't take care of Wu Nannan's situation right now, since Wu Nannan was tricked into marriage, her feelings were deceived, and even the child might have been conceived through deception.

Ultimately, it's someone else's family matter.

But if it were their own eldest daughter-in-law, and she really committed adultery and betrayed their marriage, the consequences would be unimaginable. Their Marquis's mansion would become a laughing stock.

Jiang Mianmian quickly pulled a slip of paper from her pocket and handed it to Wu Nannan:

"Keep this note safe. If you want to find a job, take it to the person listed here, and he will definitely help you arrange it."

If you need a lawyer to help you with a lawsuit, you can also go to him.

At this point, Jiang Mianmian paused slightly, then continued earnestly, "The lawyers he knows who handle cases are all extremely capable."

If you're worried about your personal safety, then you absolutely must go to him, because he has many highly skilled martial artists around him who can definitely ensure your safety...

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Mianmian turned around without hesitation and walked quickly in the direction where Li Tingxue was.

Wu Nannan stood there, tears welling up in her eyes. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, staring intently at Jiang Mianmian's back.

Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed a woman in the corner.

"Let her go!"

Jiang Mianmian's eyebrows furrowed, her almond eyes widened, and she shouted angrily in a delicate voice. With a wave of her hand, she effortlessly pulled Xi Linyu away, her movements clean and swift.

Immediately afterwards, she quickly squatted down and pulled her daughter-in-law up from the ground.

After getting up, Jiang Mianmian held her daughter-in-law's hands tightly, looked her up and down, frowned, and asked Li Tingxue what was going on.

Then, Jiang Mianmian turned to look at Xi Linyu and questioned her sternly, "Who are you, daring to bully my daughter-in-law so brazenly in front of me!"

[Hmph, what is this? Do you really think I don't exist?!]

A flash of anger crossed Jiang Mianmian's eyes.

[Also, only I can bully my daughter-in-law! No one else can have her!]

Jiang clenched his fist, ready to teach this arrogant woman a lesson at any moment.

Meanwhile, Li Tingxue was already moved to tears. She never expected that her mother-in-law would stand up for her so resolutely in front of outsiders.

This care warmed her heart and deepened her respect for her mother-in-law.

So she quickly stood next to Jiang Mianmian, took her mother-in-law's arm, and said softly, "Mother, she is the third young lady of the Xi family—Xi Linyu."

It's that Xi family, the one I studied with at the girls' school..."

Hearing this, Jiang Mianmian nodded, indicating that she understood. In fact, she naturally knew that Li Tingxue had attended a girls' school.

However, since her daughter-in-law had already spoken up, and the other party was her former "classmate," Jiang Mianmian felt that she should give the other party some face no matter what.

"Oh, I see. So he's your classmate and good friend!" Jiang Mianmian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, but the wariness in her eyes did not fade.

Then, she continued thoughtfully, "I originally thought that your classmates and friends were all well-educated, gentle, and refined young ladies from good families. I never imagined that, in fact, not all of them were like that."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Xi Linyu again, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes.

As for the Xi family, Jiang Mianmian knew a little about them, but they didn't know each other personally.

She had only heard that the family was quite well-known in the area, but she had not looked into the specifics.

Facing the third young lady of the Xi family, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but ponder the matter further.

"You are... Li Tingxue's mother-in-law, right?"

Xi Linyu had met Li Tingxue's biological mother before. Although she still retained her charm, she was far inferior to the woman in front of her in both age and appearance.

She was wearing a light blue long dress embroidered with exquisite patterns, which accentuated her graceful figure and elegant demeanor.

Her long, jet-black hair was styled into an exquisite bun, with a few strands falling beside her ears and gently brushing against her fair, snow-white skin, giving her a dreamlike and ethereal appearance.

Moreover, the person in front of me exudes a unique charm and allure that makes him hard to ignore.

Li Tingxue just called someone's mother again. What else could she be but her mother-in-law?

"Yes, that's me. Is there anything I can help you with?" Jiang Mianmian slightly raised her chin, a hint of barely perceptible arrogance in her eyes.

"Oh my, it's Aunt Shen! I knew it! How can you be so young and beautiful? At first glance, you look just like my sister!" Xi Linyu greeted her with a beaming smile, her tone full of flattery.

Li Tingxue stood aside and called out again, "Mother." Hearing this address, Xi Linyu became even more certain of her guess.

A look of amazement flashed in Xi Linyu's eyes as she exclaimed, "Oh my, Aunt Shen, look at your skin! It's as smooth and delicate as white jade."

And your temperament, so noble and elegant, truly puts us ordinary folks to shame!

"I really don't know how you take care of yourself! Please share your tips with me!" As she spoke, Xi Linyu affectionately took Jiang Mianmian's arm.

Upon hearing such praise, Jiang Mianmian instantly broke into a radiant smile, her joy overflowing, and even the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up high.

She said coquettishly, "Oh, really? Well, actually I haven't really done much skincare. I'm probably just naturally beautiful. Sigh, it's what I'm born with, there's nothing I can do about it!"

[Hehe, I didn't expect this little girl to have such a sweet tongue!]

She doesn't seem as annoying as I imagined, so why was she so talkative and incessant just now?

Seeing this, Li Tingxue shook her head helplessly, feeling both amused and exasperated. "My dear mother-in-law, your face changes faster than Sichuan face-changing!"

She covered her face and looked up at the sky: "What were you saying about her just now? Tsk tsk tsk, and now you're saying she's sweet-talking!"
