The Merchant’s Legitimate Daughter

This sister-in-law is disgusting, and the brother is equally careless. He hasn't even met his own sister alone, but he's already invited all his other sisters. It's like his sister and brother-in-law, who came from afar, are treated the same as his cousins.

The elder brother and sister-in-law are a pair of snobbish opportunists, with no plans to squander their money. They're behaving like spoiled brats. If Master Shen knew, he certainly wouldn't have let them squander the family fortune. Shen Xu has never experienced the hardships and risks of earning money. They're not close to their own sister, but instead fawn over a distant half-sister.

Madam Shen, a married woman, always interfered in her family's affairs, especially her brother's private life. She even thought she was right, talking about protecting the Shen family's offspring—what a load of rubbish! That child would be a disaster even if raised by her aunt. While Madam Shen's actions were indeed ruthless, Madam Shen brought it upon herself.

It's fortunate that the kitchen and food management were separated early on, otherwise Hui-jie would have had to take the blame later when problems were discovered.

Is Shen Wei out of her mind? How could she allow a mere maid to slander her cousin? What good would that do her? She's just jealous and resentful that the other woman is doing well. How can someone with such a petty mind manage the household affairs of the Earl's mansion? She should get as far away as possible. It's a shame that the female lead is still speaking up for her. This shows the world of difference in their perspectives and minds.

Why is Wei Jie'er different from her previous life? It's because of the different backgrounds of her marriage! In her previous life, Wei Jie'er didn't marry so early; she married after Hui Jie'er's marriage. At that time, the other party valued Wei Jie'er because she was the princess's cousin, and the Jing Prince's Mansion was clearly a powerful and even ambitious royal family.

The older brother and sister-in-law hope that one day they won't have to ask their younger sister for help. This brother and sister-in-law don't earn money and really squander it. They know their sister might not live here long, yet the furniture they buy is all rather ordinary. They hope Shen's father will leave his money to his daughter, or else he'll spend it all. Shen Rong, Shen Lan, and Shen Hui all married husbands around their own age; Shen Wei deserves it.

[Question mark] This Shen Wei is making a mess of things, and she's blaming the female lead? The female lead was just taking a walk, wasn't she in her backyard too? She didn't wander off. If any men were going to come by, she should have told the female lead beforehand!

They really don't care about their parents' money! I really don't like this brother and sister-in-law!

So, when Sister Wei said at the beginning that he didn't benefit from the female lead's success at all, that's not true. Even if the female lead didn't help him, people would still pretend to be good men when they saw that he had an adopted brother who was the empress and sisters who were empresses.
