Chapter 160 - 158: How Dare You, a Feudal Woman, Hit Me, a Modern Woman
Shen Yinning enunciated each word: "You have one quarter of an hour to get out of here immediately."
"Oh?" Gao Yun raised an eyebrow. "Whom do you think you’re ordering around?! Don’t forget your husband’s surname, and ours! In the Gao family, you, Shen Yinning, are the outsider, the one with the lowest status! You don’t even understand the rules of serving your mother-in-law and sister-in-law. What bad luck! I will never permit my elder brother to request an Imperial Decree for you as his wife!"
"Indeed!" Gao Mother chimed in. "Shen Yinning, since you’ve married into our Gao family, your house is of course our house. Why make such distinctions? As your mother-in-law, I’m ordering you to come over now and scrub my back, and Yun’er’s back too! Then bathe Hong’er and Hui’er. Only then will I forgive you!"
The mother and daughter were arrogant, wearing the expression of having Shen Yinning firmly in their grasp.
After all, Gao Zheng had a brilliant future, the Prime Minister’s protégé, destined for glory any day now, while Shen Yinning was just the daughter of a disgraced official — marrying into the Gao family was an act of climbing far above her station!
Shen Yinning retorted coldly, "Not leaving?"
Gao Yun protested indignantly: "Do you not understand human speech? You’re now a wife of the Gao family; your belongings belong to my brother, and what belongs to my brother belongs to the Gao family. Don’t you get it?!"
Gao Mother harshly scolded her: "Shouting at your mother-in-law and sister-in-law — what kind of propriety is this?! Shen Yinning, as your mother-in-law, I command you to kneel down and slap your own face twenty times! Then go to the ancestral hall and reflect on your actions properly!"
"Wei Yu." Shen Yinning called out.
Wei Yu promptly cupped her hands: "At your service!"
