Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

As soon as Yun Xi got home from school, she heard Chen Lixue and Liang Xiuqin sneering and sniping at each other. And the reason for it was very strange.

The housekeeper said that it was because Liang Xiuqin had come back from shopping today and had bought a lot of clothes, shoes, and jewelry. Chen Lixue had a terrible stomachache after her parent meeting at the school. Seeing that Liang Xiuqin had bought so many things, she immediately became envious and started to criticize and taunt her.

The housekeeper might not know why Chen Lixue was so envious, but Yun Xi and her second aunt knew very well.

Liang Xiuqin had gotten the money she was spending from Liang Xinyi, who had gotten it from the playboy Han Zhongteng after much effort, just in order to have Liang Xiuqin agree to let Chen Lixue stay in the Yun family home.

Such a large sum of money had made Chen Lixue envious, but she knew she could only use it to buy her right to stay in the Yun family. She couldn’t take a single penny of it.

It was bad enough that she had had to endure so much grief at Liang Xinyi’s school, but then, coming back to the house, she had had to endure her seething jealousy over Liang Xiuqin’s lavish spending. What was worse was that all these things rightfully belonged to her, yet they were now all on that sl*t Liang Xiuqin. How could they not fight?

“I spent my money, so what are you so envious of? If you have the ability, have your daughter get some for you. Isn’t your daughter capable?”

“Without our Xinyi, what glory would you have?”

“…”

“Okay! Stop arguing, Aunt. As I have warned you before, if you and my mother can’t get along, then you will have to move out. Mom, if you’ve reaped the benefits of this situation, you have to keep your word. Don’t go overboard.”

“What do you mean? As if I need you to lecture me.” Liang Xiuqin immediately understood what Yun Xi meant, and she looked somewhat guilty.

From her mannerisms, it was obvious to Yun Xi that she didn’t want to keep up her end of the bargain despite getting the money.

She’d taken advantage of the situation, but she couldn’t stand Chen Lixue staying in her house, so how could Chen Lixue and Liang Xinyi not be anxious?

“Where you got the money to buy all these things, everyone knows in our hearts.” Yun Xi stood up from the sofa. Her cold eyes swept across the two mean faces.

“Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I don’t want to hear bickering at home, especially from you and my aunt. If you quarrel again, then one of you will have to move out, you or my aunt.”

When Liang Xiuqin heard that she was being threatened, she was immediately annoyed. “She is the one who should move out. I am your mother, you wretched girl.”

After taking the money but not holding up her end of the bargain, Liang Xiuqin’s shameless attitude had made Chen Lixue very angry.

“Liang Xiuqin, don’t go too far. You forgot what you promised us. Do you want to give us back the money? You can go see if the big shot behind Xinyi is someone you can afford to offend!”

She’d clearly stated that if they would give her money, she would let them stay. Now, when it came down to it, she refused to admit it.

“So what if he can’t be offended? Your daughter has a big shot behind her, but doesn’t my daughter have one as well?”

Chen Lixue glanced at Yun Xi, sneered, and unceremoniously crushed Liang Xiuqin’s delusions. With a scornful expression, Chen Lixue looked at Liang Xiuqin mockingly as she said, “You have never regarded Yun Xi as your daughter, yet now you want to use her at a critical moment. You better see if she is willing to help you.”

Liang Xiuqin suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Xi, but Yun Xi had lowered her head and was blowing on her hot milk tea. She acted as if she hadn’t heard what they were talking about.

In terms of relationships, the relationship between Liang Xiuqin and Yun Xi definitely wasn’t as tight as that between Chen Lixue and Liang Xinyi. If something really happened, Yun Xi might not help her.

Sure enough, Yun Xi raised her head and casually added salt to the wounds without changing her facial expression.

“Mom, there are no big shots behind me. If you want to dig your own grave, I can’t help you. No matter what you negotiate with my aunt, you must weigh the consequences before doing anything. If you do something wrong and cause trouble, it will directly affect my dad’s future. If Dad thinks about divorcing you again, then it will be too late for you to regret your behavior.”

Yun Xi and her second aunt had no desire to listen to the two of them anymore. The crabapple blossoms in the yard happened to be blooming. Yun Xi winked at her second aunt, and the two went outside together holding their cups of hot tea.
