Chapter 157: Request
Song Qin was taken aback by her aunt-in-law’s words and found herself momentarily unable to rebuff them.
Her aunt-in-law took this opportunity to continue, "Also, you should be more respectful to your sister-in-law. Our mother has already handed over the family affairs into her hands, so she really does have the right to question you about this matter."
With this reminder, Song Qin remembered that the household affairs had gradually been passed onto her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law did indeed have the authority to question and decide on many things in the household.
She then nervously looked at her stern-faced sister-in-law.
"Song Qin, I don’t care why you dislike those two sisters so much, but don’t forget, Xia Xi is a child of the Xia family, and Xia Yue wasn’t thrown out of the Xia family; she is an legitimate young miss of the Xia family.
Xia Yue was raised by the Xia family, and Xia Xi was born from your womb after ten months, but don’t forget, you’ve never raised her, and the Xia family has never raised her either. She doesn’t owe anything to the Xia family. On the contrary, the Xia family has been indebted to her for more than twenty years.
Even the old master does not have the right to demand anything from her, and neither do you. If you feel wronged, feel free to complain to the old master yourself.
I do not want to see this incident happen again today, so stop causing trouble for the two sisters.
This is the first warning. I hope you don’t act foolishly." The stern-faced aunt-in-law lectured Song Qin. After she finished, she turned to Xia Xi and Xia Yue, her tone softened a bit.
"Xiaoxi, Xiaoyue, this is your mother’s first time. I hope you won’t pursue it any further for now out of respect for the fact that today is the old master’s birthday. If it happens again, your aunt-in-law will punish her properly for you, is that okay?"
Xia Yue and Xia Xi looked at each other and blinked.
