Although He Xue said nothing, she belittled Guo Lingyue right in front of Mu Qinglian and Xiao Jinchen. "Mother, I don't think this woman is a steady sort. Perhaps it's time to let Jinchen divorce her. I can introduce him to someone much better—someone surely stronger than the one he has now."
She had long found Guo Lingyue eyesore; the woman was all honeyed words and hidden daggers, double-faced and full of malice. Yet, Mu Qinglian and her son seemed to dote on that kind of affectation. Usually, if the woman didn't stir up trouble in front of her, she would turn a blind eye, but now that Guo Lingyue had dared to scheme against her dear friend's daughter, it was intolerable.
Xiao Jinchen’s face darkened. "Second Aunt, there’s no need to go to such lengths. Lingyue’s behavior was indeed inexcusable. I will discipline her thoroughly once we get home and ensure this never happens again."
