Normally, Jiang Yu behaved very obediently in front of the Shen family. She didn’t even dare speak loudly.
But today, she acted like she had completely lost her mind.
Tang Yun’s expression was dark beyond words. “I knew you were not easy to deal with. You always pretend to be weak and innocent, fooling Ah-Yan into marrying you. You made him lose his mind. Today you finally show your true colors.”
Tang Yun ruled the Shen family with absolute authority. Not only Shen Changyuan listened to her, even Shen Chengyan—this mama’s boy—was doted on by her.
This sharp-tongued old woman had been spoiled into lawlessness by her husband and son.
Back when Shen Chengyan wanted to marry Jiang Yu, Tang Yun had strongly opposed it and caused a huge scene at home. Jiang Yu suffered a lot because of that.
Comments like these—harsh, humiliating words—became something she had to hear almost every week after marrying into the Shen family.
Jiang Yu threw the toy water gun onto the ground and released Shen Mo’s collar. “You’re right. From today on, I won’t pretend anymore. If you dare mess with me again, I’ll use a real gun to blow you away. I’ll blow your whole family away.”
Tang Yun almost couldn’t catch her breath. “You shameless thing! You deserve divine punishment!”
“Ha. If we’re talking about shamelessness, I’m still far behind your Shen family.”
Jiang Yu had completely stopped caring. “Vicious mother-in-law, stingy father-in-law, abusive younger brother-in-law, and a mentally deficient son. You people aren’t afraid of divine punishment, so why should I be?”
Shen Zhaolin, who had been watching the drama unfold, froze. “…”
Excuse me, did I say a single word this whole time?
Jiang Yu’s gaze landed on Hu Youyue and Shen Chengyan not far away. “And you two dogs—”
Before she could say anything even more shocking, Shen Chengyan walked over, covered her mouth, and forcibly dragged her away.

Upstairs bedroom.
Shen Chengyan took a piece of clothing from the wardrobe and, with a dark expression, threw it at her.
The fabric landed over her head, plunging her into darkness. A cold voice sounded beside her ears. “You only have one face. Can you please stop wasting it like that?”
Jiang Yu yanked the clothes off her head, anger still burning. “I haven’t even started on your little mistress yet, and you’re already protecting her?”
“Not satisfied with how many people you’ve insulted?” Shen Chengyan sneered. “The Shen family doesn’t even keep dogs. Otherwise even dogs would’ve been insulted into depression by you.”
Jiang Yu threw the clothes back at him. “Your Shen family already has enough dogs. No need to raise more!”
Shen Chengyan understood immediately that she was insulting the entire family.
He tossed the clothes back into her arms again.
“…Are you messing around with me or something?” Jiang Yu said in frustration. “Throwing things back and forth like this—are you flirting with me or what?”
Shen Chengyan frowned.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Yu knew immediately. He disliked her occasional vulgar language.
Whether it was his appearance or temperament, he was always refined and gentlemanly. He stood straight, dressed properly, and never once in all these years had she heard him swear.
The worst he had ever said was last night, calling her stinky snail rice “like shit.”
“I brought you back so you’d behave yourself, not so you could bite everyone you see. If you can’t act properly, don’t expect me to handle the divorce agreement either.”
Shen Chengyan glanced at her damp chest area. “Change your clothes. Fix your attitude before coming down.”
……
When Shen Chengyan went downstairs, Hu Youyue was comforting Tang Yun.
Tang Yun leaned on the sofa, clutching her chest, still fuming.
Hu Youyue sat beside her gently soothing her breathing.
Shen Mo was running around the living room with a toy water gun like a maniac, spraying everywhere while shouting, “Jibii! Jibii! I’ll shoot you all down!”
Shen Zhaolin leaned lazily against the wall, laughing. “Nephew, you’re as violent as your mom.”
Shen Chengyan’s face darkened. He tried to grab the little brat—but failed.
“…”
He dragged him outside instead.
Once outside, he snatched the water gun. “You dare spray my wife? You’ve grown bold.”
Shen Mo bounced on his short legs trying to grab it back, but Shen Chengyan pressed the gun against his forehead. “Stand still.”
Shen Mo pouted.
“Go apologize to your mom,” Shen Chengyan said.
“I won’t! I won’t! I won’t!”
Bang.
A spray of water hit him.
“Will you go?”
“No!”
Bang bang bang.
Three more shots.
“……”
Shen Mo was completely soaked and finally said, “Fine! Fine! I’ll go!”
Only then did Shen Chengyan let him go.
Shen Mo immediately ran off, wiped his face, and shouted, “Haha! I’m not going! Got you!”
The veins on Shen Chengyan’s temple throbbed.
Now he knew exactly who this brat took after.
Stubbornness, rebellion, and pure infuriating energy.
Exactly like Jiang Yu.
A perfect pair of headaches.

After changing her clothes, Jiang Yu came downstairs again. In the main hall, Tang Yun and Hu Youyue sat together like a close mother-daughter pair.
Seeing her, Tang Yun shot her a murderous glare.
Jiang Yu shot one right back.
Tang Yun immediately clutched her chest again.
Hu Youyue gave her a disapproving look. “Little Yu, don’t talk back to your elders.”
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at her too. “What does it have to do with you? Keep talking and I’ll sew your filthy mouth shut.”
Hu Youyue: “…”
Tang Yun gritted her teeth. “You beast.”
Jiang Yu: “Beast? Still better than you.”
Tang Yun: “……”
The main hall was completely taken over by this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law battle, so Jiang Yu simply went to the side hall.
Unexpectedly, there was already someone there.
Shen Mo, exhausted from a morning of chaos, was starving. The housekeeper had brought him food, and he was devouring it on the sofa.
Jiang Yu sat down nearby with disgust.
Watching him eat messily and smack his lips, she suddenly snapped, “Eating, eating, eating all day long. Are you a pig?”
Shen Mo shot back, “Nagging, nagging, nagging all day long. Are you Tang Sanzang?”
Jiang Yu: “…”
Although Jiang Yu was Shen Mo’s biological mother, she had never had authority in raising him.
At the age of two, Shen Mo was taken away by Tang Yun. If Jiang Yu wanted to see him, she needed permission.
Over the years, he had grown up under Tang Yun and Hu Youyue’s care.
In his eyes, he didn’t even recognize Jiang Yu as his mother.
What happened today—spraying her with a water gun—was already considered mild.
Though Tang Yun looked down on Jiang Yu, she doted on Shen Mo immensely, raising him like a little emperor.
As a result, Shen Mo became not only unruly but also a chubby little boy.
That belly, those legs—unbearable to look at.
Jiang Yu, unable to stand it, took out her phone.
While browsing, someone greeted her. It was Su Yan.
Su Yan was Shen Zhaolin’s girlfriend. They had been together for years and were close to marriage.
Jiang Yu wasn’t familiar with her; they only exchanged polite greetings in the Shen household.
While Jiang Yu was typing on her phone, Su Yan’s hesitant voice sounded beside her. “Sister Jiang Yu… are you… getting a divorce from Brother Shen?”
Jiang Yu, who had been consulting a lawyer about divorce, had accidentally opened her conversation.
She answered openly, “Yes. Come drink at my wedding.”
Su Yan: “……”
