Lu Yao had no qualms about confronting Wang Lao Tai Tai and the others. She had been bold enough to do so in the Shen family, and she was even bolder here.

However, with her two children around, she couldn’t let them hear certain vulgar words.

She exchanged a glance with Shen Yanrong, and they understood each other. They both raised their hands and covered their children’s ears.

Little Yueyue thought her parents were going to play with them, so she cooperated happily.

Yunhao was a little hesitant. He thought his parents didn’t need to cover their ears like that.

Lu Yao finished her words, tapping her foot lightly on the ground: “Get it straight, this is where you are! This is not the Shen family, where you can do whatever you want. If you don’t want to die, just behave!”

Her tone was cold, and the meaning behind her words was even colder. The Shen family’s female relatives, who had been arrogant and fierce before, couldn’t help but shiver.

Perhaps Lu Yao’s words worked, because the others looked at her with unfriendly eyes, but they didn’t continue to curse.

Finally, peace and quiet.

Lu Yao released her hand from covering Yueyue’s ears and rubbed her own ears: “Those people are so noisy.”

Shen Yanrong also released his hand from covering Yunhao’s ears and nodded in agreement: “I’ll handle them from now on.”

These women were difficult to deal with, but they weren’t impossible to handle.

Lu Yao raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing him: “You?”

She imagined her husband fighting with a group of shrewish women, shook her head, and said, “These little things, I’ll handle them.”

Mainly because the scene was too beautiful, she didn’t dare to watch.

Shen Yanrong squeezed her hand: “People who don’t matter, don’t bother with them. If you’re unhappy, just like today, curse them back, or even hit them…” He shook his head, “But hitting them, call me.”

Those people were tough, and Yao Mei’s hands would hurt.

Lu Yao laughed. How come she hadn’t noticed this interesting side of him before?

Yunhao pretended not to hear his parents’ flirting. As for what his mother had said about fighting the old hag…

Well, his parents didn’t want them to hear, so he pretended not to hear anything.

He was truly a good, well-behaved child.

The family of four continued to work on their straw crafts.

They were quite skilled, especially the father and son. But Yueyue, being younger, made some unsatisfactory crafts, while Shen Yanrong and Yunhao made theirs quite well.

Someone next door saw them using straw to pass the time. They didn’t seem to be worried or anxious at all about being in prison. They couldn’t help but sneer. Country bumpkins were different. They could adapt to any environment and make something out of anything.

Lu Yao played with her husband and two children for a while, then couldn’t help but yawn. She had stayed up late last night and gotten up early this morning. She was a little tired.

Shen Yanrong saw this and rubbed her head: “Take a nap.”

He took off his coat: “The conditions are limited, so we’ll have to make do.”

Knowing what they might encounter next, they had deliberately worn many layers when they went back this morning.

Taking off one layer, there were still many more layers.

Lu Yao shook her head, saying she wasn’t cold.

Not only her husband, but she and her two children were also wearing many layers.

Since she didn’t need it, Shen Yanrong didn’t insist. Instead, he folded the coat and placed it on the bed for Lu Yao to use as a pillow. It would be more comfortable to sleep like that.

Lu Yao accepted.

She then asked her two children if they wanted to take a nap with her. Yunhao and Yueyue were now focused on making little rabbits, so Lu Yao didn’t insist. With Shen Yanrong accompanying the children, she lay down to rest with peace of mind.

Sleep is contagious, it seems. After playing for a while, the two children rubbed their eyes and yawned. Shen Yanrong saw this and asked, “Do you want to take a nap?”

Children were very good at enduring for the sake of playing. Hearing their father’s question, they hesitated.

Shen Yanrong smiled and made the decision for them: “Let’s all take a nap. We’ll make them when we wake up.”

The two children heard that their father also wanted to rest, so they didn’t insist. They lay down obediently in the middle.

The bed wasn’t very big, and they were worried about waking their mother who was fast asleep, so the father and son and daughter tried to stay as close to the outer edge as possible. Shen Yanrong lay on his side on the outermost edge, almost touching the edge of the bed to give his children more space.

Wang Lao Tai Tai and the others saw that this family of four was so close-knit, especially how they could all lie in bed together and sleep. They didn’t even have a place to sit. The disparity in their treatment made them feel very unbalanced. But even if they were unhappy and dissatisfied, they couldn’t say anything or do anything.

Thinking about what that slut had said before, they no longer had their initial optimism.

“Mother, do you think the Shen family will really…”

Liu Wan, Wang Lao Tai Tai’s younger daughter-in-law, couldn’t help but ask in a hushed voice, feeling increasingly uneasy.

As soon as she said this, the other few also looked over with anxiety and worry.

Seeing so many eyes looking at her, Wang Lao Tai Tai also felt a lot of pressure. She glared at Liu Wan and said, “If you can’t speak properly, shut your mouth!”

Their Shen family had only enjoyed a few years of wealth and prosperity. There was no way anything would happen to them!

This younger daughter-in-law was sweet-mouthed and charming. Her family also had some influence, and her younger son liked her very much. She had also given birth to a big fat grandson and a pair of twin granddaughters. Although she wasn’t as likable as her elder daughter-in-law, Ya Lan, Wang Lao Tai Tai was still satisfied.

She thought she was smart, but now that she had faced a real crisis, she realized that this younger daughter-in-law and her daughters were all useless.

No wonder she had such good taste.

She looked at Wang Ya Lan, who was sitting beside her. It was better to choose a daughter-in-law herself.

“Grandmother, will someone bring us food? I’m so hungry.” Shen Li Li rubbed her stomach and said pitifully.

“Grandmother, I’m hungry too.” Shen Juan Juan also said with a grievance.

Shen Li Li and Shen Juan Juan were the twin sisters of Wang Lao Tai Tai’s younger son.

Shen Juan Juan had stayed up late reading storybooks with her sister last night, so they got up late this morning. They hadn’t even had breakfast when those fierce soldiers came. They were all fierce and looked like bandits, which scared her and her sister.

Now, she felt sick just thinking about being held down and tied up by those smelly men.

Those smelly men must have wanted to take advantage of them because they were beautiful!

They were born when the Shen family was already prosperous. The whole family came to the capital with their elder uncle. They had been pampered since they were young. They were almost fourteen years old, and their lives were smooth and comfortable. They didn’t know what hardship was, but they had experienced all the hardship in their lives today.

“Just bear with it.” When it came to food, Wang Lao Tai Tai wasn’t sure, so she could only comfort them unconvincingly.

“Auntie, I’m so cold.” The speaker was Shen Shiren’s daughter born to a concubine, Shen Yu Lian.

Today, the sun was shining brightly. They were supposed to attend a banquet. It was an opportunity she had finally managed to get, so she got up early to wash and dress up. The dress she chose was light and beautiful, but not very warm.

The Heavenly Prison was dark and damp all year round, and it was cold and humid. After staying there for a while, she couldn’t take it anymore.

Shen Juan Juan heard her say this and sneered: “You’re wearing such thin clothes in this weather, it’s no wonder you’re cold.”

Shen Li Li nodded in agreement: “I’m not saying this to be mean, but the daughters of our Shen family should pay attention to their clothes and behavior. People who don’t know might think our Shen family is mistreating our daughters born to concubines.”

Shen Yu Lian lowered her head and said nothing.

Xu Niang Niang took off her coat and put it on her child. Then, she hugged her child and said nothing.

Lao Tai Tai was having a headache looking at this bunch of troublemakers. She waved her hand, saying that she was tired and wanted to rest. The faces of the few who were sitting on the bed instantly changed, but they had to stand up and let Lao Tai Tai lie down first.
