Chapter 1502: Chapter 864: The Jiang Family Daughter-in-Law—A Needle Hidden in Softness, Not to Be Trifled With (3 Updates)_2

Shen Zhixian’s originally gentle voice suddenly became cold and severe.

"He’s not single. Although he’s unmarried, he is still someone who is claimed. Miss Yang should also know that some things, even if you haven’t done them, can easily lead to misunderstandings from others."

"Just as Wanwan mentioned earlier, since Miss Yang doesn’t want to be criticized as a Third Party, then stay away from them. Don’t give others the chance to spread rumors, and then no one will misunderstand."

"If you insist on forcing your way in, to put it bluntly..."

"If people scold you, you brought it upon yourself. Isn’t it deserved?"

After Shen Zhixian finished speaking, Yang Yiyi’s face immediately turned pale.

The tone was light but each word was sharp, and after finishing, she even smiled at her and took a sip of tea.

Shen Zhixian’s implication was quite direct, reminding her, to put it harshly, it was telling her:

Don’t willingly degrade yourself.

Tang Wan sat next to her, sipping tea and eating the broad beans offered by the teahouse.

Her sister-in-law is not someone easy to mess with. Yang Yiyi probably hasn’t had contact with her before and doesn’t know her fierceness.

Shen Zhixian watched her chew the broad beans, crunching crisply, and turned her head to ask: "Are they tasty?"

"Not bad." Tang Wan pushed the broad beans over, "Sister-in-law, try them."

"These broad beans look very suitable to accompany wine."

The two looked relaxed, like they were having afternoon tea, as if they completely ignored the person opposite them, causing Yang Yiyi’s face to turn slightly blue in an instant.

"Miss Yang, did you hear clearly what I said?" Shen Zhixian saw her silent for a long time, "You don’t need to clarify anything, just stay away from them."

Yang Yiyi bit her lip tightly:

"I and Fourth Master are also considered friends, do friends need to avoid suspicion when talking?"

"You seem to have misunderstood my meaning. I didn’t ask you to avoid suspicion..." Shen Zhixian rubbed the cup, suddenly looked up at her, squinting with a smile:

"I’m asking you to leave their lives! The farther the better."

"Madam Jiang, isn’t this too overbearing?" Yang Yiyi didn’t expect Shen Zhixian to speak this way.

"We are all women, just because I haven’t called it out doesn’t mean I don’t understand. Don’t put on a show in front of me. Just because I haven’t been blunt doesn’t mean I’m not giving you face."

Shen Zhixian laughed lightly, "Now you say I’m overbearing, so you don’t want to stay away from them."

"Miss Yang, on one hand you say Chengsi is your friend, yet your friend because of you, even his future happiness is about to be ruined. Asking you to sacrifice a bit to fulfill them, you are unwilling, is this what you call friendship?"

"That’s not what I meant." Yang Yiyi didn’t easily destroy their relationship, how could she retreat.

"Then what do you mean? You want to maintain contact with Chengsi, but don’t want anyone to speak ill of you? These words are somewhat shameless."

Yang Yiyi’s face turned pale again.

This Madam Jiang is formidable.

"You really misunderstood. I just..."

Yang Yiyi couldn’t possibly agree to Shen Zhixian’s request to completely leave their lives.

"Don’t talk about misunderstandings for now. Let me ask you, with your current attitude, when you meet Miss Si, how will you clear up your relationship with her?"

Shen Zhixian pressed step by step: "Let me guess..."

"You might tell her, although the photos are real, nothing happened between you, and hope that as his girlfriend, she can be generous."

"Tell her that you and her boyfriend will continue to meet, and hope she won’t be petty, and not get angry with Chengsi over such matters?"

"If she disagrees, then she’s petty and not generous; if she agrees, she will be driven crazy."

...

Yang Yiyi didn’t expect her little scheme to be exposed thoroughly by Shen Zhixian.

She indeed wanted to corner Si Qingxiao into such a dilemma.

With her real intention exposed, she definitely wouldn’t admit it, "Madam Jiang, I’m simply here to clarify misunderstandings, your words are somewhat sharp."

Shen Zhixian smiled faintly, "Are you saying I’m being petty?"

"I hope you can respect me."

"But have you respected others?" Shen Zhixian suddenly raised her hand, putting the cup down, causing it to clink loudly against the ceramic coaster, catching the attention of the teahouse staff.

Suddenly making a fuss, Yang Yiyi’s heart raced, while Tang Wan continued to lower her head, grabbing broad beans from the plate and putting them into her mouth.

Shen Zhixian sneered:

"Honestly, until now, before meeting you, I felt you were innocent and pitied you for being involved. But today, you showed up at Peach Garden’s entrance, you’re no longer deserving of sympathy."

"If you sincerely wanted to explain, you could have conveyed your attitude through Wanwan, but instead you investigated Miss Si’s whereabouts, even following her to the Peach Garden."

"This is a public place, what are you planning to say to her here?"

"Is she supposed to greet you with a smile or a cold face? There are many people here listening to opera; have you considered her situation?"

"You claim you’re just here to clarify misunderstandings, but your actions have put others in a difficult situation. You think I’m cutting, not respecting you, but one must consider if one’s actions are worthy of respect."

Yang Yiyi’s little schemes had never been exposed so blatantly.

It was as if she was completely transparent in front of her, unable to hide any mischievousness, her eyes gentle, but her gaze extremely sharp.

"Miss Yang, if you feel wronged by my assertive aggression, or if you truly have good intentions and it’s just me being petty, I can apologize to you."

Shen Zhixian changed her tone...

Yang Yiyi couldn’t keep up.

She was familiar with Tang Wan, but had no understanding of Shen Zhixian, who had left her stunned, hitting her a few times, and suddenly offering an apology — what kind of performance is this?

"You should know, presently there are too many people watching the Jiang Family, I just don’t want to stir more trouble. If my words were too harsh, I apologize."

Shen Zhixian was measured and didn’t give her the opportunity to find mistakes.

Yang Yiyi was put down and could only shake her head:

"I acted impulsively, only thinking of myself."

Shen Zhixian’s analysis was logical and faultless, Yang Yiyi could not refute and could only admit her lack of consideration.

"Since you know you were wrong, I won’t dwell on this matter. I trust Miss Yang is a wise person who wouldn’t humiliate herself, purposefully looking for trouble, right?"

Shen Zhixian smiled pleasantly.

Tang Wan almost laughed out loud:

Honestly, this sister-in-law of hers usually has a good temperament, she hadn’t seen her confront anyone since maybe a year or two ago. Even when Jiangjiang was mischievous, she never got angry.

Which almost made Tang Wan forget, she also has a temperament.

Yang Yiyi was oppressed and couldn’t resist, Shen Zhixian’s words reached this point, if she insisted:

It would be effectively an admission that she wants to be a mistress, shamelessly.

"Madam Jiang, you’re right, I won’t do that."

Shen Zhixian smiled and nodded, looking gratified.

"Since we have spoken this much, I too will be direct." Shen Zhixian spoke straight.

Yang Yiyi was about to be driven mad:

You’ve been pressing me down, isn’t your speech always direct!

"Even assuming today you came with pure intentions, perhaps genuinely wanting to reconcile matters between Chengsi and Miss Si, just without full consideration..."

"But also please understand my desire to protect my family."

"If someone really intends to harm my siblings, as their sister-in-law, I won’t show them any kindness."

Shen Zhixian didn’t name names, and on the surface it looked like she was apologizing to Yang Yiyi, but in reality, it was a stark warning.

You must admit, some people speak very discerningly.

With a smile, they can prick your heart, causing it to bleed, yet you can only smile while taking the hit.
