Gu Nuannuan said, "The ancestral teachings of the Jiang family are to be respected. Isn't 'respect' referring to elders and seniors? Since I have married Jiang Chenyu, my parents are in a kinship relationship with Jiang Lao. Although they may not be as old as the eldest sister-in-law, they are of the same generation as Jiang Lao. In terms of seniority, the eldest sister-in-law should address my parents as uncle and aunt.

"Last time, when my parents came to visit, you humiliated them. Doesn't that mean the eldest sister-in-law violated the ancestral teachings of the Jiang family? Since the Jiang family values these ancestral teachings so much, the eldest sister-in-law should fulfill them properly."

Gu Nuannuan looked at Jiang Lao, whose face was as dark as coal, and asked, "Dad, am I right?"

She deliberately embarrassed Jiang Lao.

Everyone in the family knew that Jiang Lao wanted to downplay that incident, but Gu Nuannuan was the only one who refused to do so.

She insisted that Wei Aihua should apologize in person!

Jiang Lao exploded, "Get out, all of you!"

Gu Nuannuan had already torn her face with Jiang Lao, so she didn't care about anything now except for her dignity.

She asked again, "Dad, was there anything wrong with what I just said?"

"I told you to get out!"

With her fists clenched, Gu Nuannuan was about to ask for the third time when the steward signaled to the servants, and immediately, one of them restrained Gu Nuannuan and dragged her out of the dining room.

After Gu Nuannuan left the dining room, the atmosphere inside was extremely tense.

Wei Aihua deliberately suppressed her breathing, taking shallow breaths.

Jiang Chenyu, however, sat quietly in the room, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.

Everyone looked at him.

Mayor Jiang reminded him, "Chenyu, go check on Nuannuan."

Jiang Chenyu glanced at the entrance of the dining room, then retracted his gaze and looked at everyone sitting at the table.

He smiled and said, "Even a dog has to look at its owner. Bullying my wife is like slapping me in the face."

His eyes were too sharp, making Wei Aihua dare not meet his gaze.

Jiang Chenyu asked, "Eldest sister-in-law, am I right?"

Wei Aihua remained silent.

Jiang Chenyu asked again, "You were quite spirited when you were humiliating my wife just now. Why are you suddenly mute when facing me?"

Wei Aihua lifted her head and said, "Chenyu, she deserved it."

Jiang Chenyu looked at Jiang Lao and asked, "I wonder if my in-laws deserve an apology from the Mayor's wife?"

Jiang Lao reminded him, "Chenyu, she is your eldest sister-in-law!"

Jiang Chenyu chuckled sarcastically, "Haha, it's really funny. Have you forgotten that Gu Nuannuan is my wife? Are you asking me to humiliate my wife for the sake of my eldest sister-in-law? Am I that spineless?"

"You..."

Jiang Chenyu calmly stood up from the dining table, straightened out the wrinkles on his clothes, and said to Wei Aihua, "The ancestral teachings of the Jiang family are to be respected. Eldest sister-in-law, don't forget, as a member of the Jiang family, you must abide by the ancestral teachings of the Jiang family, unless, of course, you are not a member of the Jiang family."
