The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2041

Lady Wilson finally enjoyed a full meal and had a good night's sleep. 1

Unexpectedly, her room door would be kicked open by an extremely angry Jennifer early in the morning! 2

Before Lady Wilson could even react, Jennifer rushed directly to her bed and she gave her a tight slap across her face as she cursed angrily, "You damn old woman! You even dare to steal the rice inside the incense burner that I use to offer incense to the Goddess of Mercy. Don't you have any ethics at all?" 5

Lady Wilson felt very dizzy after getting slapped by Jennifer. When she saw Jennifer’s face that was up close and filled with anger and rage, she was so frightened that she hurriedly pleaded, "Jennifer! I am sorry, Jennifer! I really did not want to steal your items either. However, I was really too hungry..." 1

Jennifer was furious and she gritted her teeth in anger as she said, "It's your own problem if you are starving or hungry. What has it got to do with me? I use that incense burner to offer incense to the Goddess of Mercy. The fact that you stole the rice inside the incense burner is a form of disrespect toward the Goddess of Mercy. If the Goddess of Mercy decides to condemn this action, then you will also be implicating me because of what you did!" 3

Lady Wilson could not help but choke up and said,"

Jennifer...it is the New Year...so you cannot possibly watch an old lady like me starve to death, right? If an old woman like me were to starve to death in this house, then how are you possibly going to continue living here in future? If you had to think about the fact that I had starved to death in this room downstairs while you lie in your bedroom upstairs every night, would you feel good then?"

As she spoke, Lady Wilson broke into tears as she said, "Jennifer...why don’t you treat it as though you have just saved my life then? Didn't Goddess of Mercy say that saving a life is even more meritorious than building a seven-floor pagoda? You can consider this a s an accumulation of your merit!”

The expression on Jennifer’s face eased a little.

However, she continued speaking in a cold manner, "I can forgive you for stealing the rice, on Goddess of Mercy’s account. However, you will still have to pay the price and consequences for your own actions!"

Lady Wilson hurriedly asked, "Jennifer, what price and consequences do you want me to pay?" 1

Jennifer replied coldly, "I can pretend that this never happened at all if you diligently wash all of our clothes for all three of us today!"
