"So what if she doesn't give it to you?" Dongfang Jun quickly answered. He looked at her coldly and his lips curled into a mocking smile. He said, "Second Sister-in-Law, as the second miss of the Xi family, I want to remind you that the man you married is Dongfang Yu and not Dongfang Mo. You are the second madam of the Dongfang family and not the first madam. Hierarchy is important in this family. The second madam's status will always be lower than the first madam because the position of the mistress can only be the first madam and not the second madam."
Xi Muxue's heart skipped a beat when she finally understood what Dongfang Jun said. "You mean I'll never have the chance to be the mistress of the house?" She blurted out, "Even if Big Brother isn't around anymore, I won't be the mistress?"
"What does Big Brother's absence have to do with whether you're the mistress or not?" Dongfang Jun felt that Xi Muxue's brain was not working properly. He mockingly said, "Second Sister-in-Law, you probably haven't read ancient books like Zhu Xi's family teachings, The Three Character Classic, and the works of Zeng Guang Xian Wen, right? My big brother is like the father of the family, and elder sister-in-law is like the mother. Even if Big Brother is no longer around, Eldest Sister-in-Law will still be our sister-in-law. She will still be the mistress of the Dongfang family. If you want to be the mistress, then..."
When Dongfang Jun paused, Mu Xue quickly asked, "Then what?"
"Unless Mu Ru is also no longer around," Dongfang Jun said with a smile. He added, "Of course, Mu Ru and Second Sister-in-Law, you're twin sisters. Since you're the same age, then it depends on whether you're older than Mu Ru. If Mu Ru dies at the age of eighty, and you're still alive and healthy, then that will be your chance to be the mistress of the Dongfang family."
Dongfang Jun's words were a complete joke. Dongfang Jun then imagined Xi Muxue becoming the mistress of the Dongfang family only when she was in her eighties. He could not help but laugh out loud.
Dongfang Jun did not mean what he said. Dongfang Jun was imagining Xi Muxue being the mistress of the Dongfang family. He found it ridiculous. Meanwhile, Xi Muxue was thinking about her becoming the mistress of the Dongfang family only when she was in her eighties.
Mu Xue had always been a high and mighty person. She grew up with that personality. She grew up bullying Xi Muru because she was used to having Mu Ru as a servant. Xi Muru grew up getting used to Mu Xue's orders.
Back then, she refused to marry Dongfang Mo because she believed he was a good-for-nothing. She felt that was too beautiful and too elegant for him.
The conflict between Dongfang Mo and Xi Muxue was already settled, but no one expected that Nangong Xun's arrival would trouble them all. When the situation became out of control, she quickly asked around in secret about Dongfang Mo. Only then did she find out that Dongfang Mo did not go for plastic surgery because he was suffering from skin cancer.
That was why she set her sights on Dongfang Yu, and she found an opportunity to turn around their negative situation. She grabbed the opportunity and married Dongfang Yu.
She knew what kind of person Dongfang Yu was, but at the same time, she also knew that women would be attracted to him because of his good qualities. She did not have the time to care about Dongfang Yu's past bad deeds. She only thought about marrying him. She felt that once he married, he would gradually stop fooling around with other women.
