Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space
Chapter 165:
Position
"The issue with the younger generation has been pointed out, and I naturally treat the issue of the elders equally. The congratulatory gifts are inside the house, not running away, and there's no hurry at this moment," Murong Zhe said, then cast a cold eye towards Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen, under Murong Zhe's gaze, felt her hair stand on end.
Murong Lingran timely spoke, "Aunt, although Dad and you are of the same generation, he is still the master of this house and older than you. Generally, only elders support the younger generation. Dad has supported your family for more than ten years, making him a sort of elder to you. Just like Murong Xue, since Dad, as an elder, hasn't sat down, what qualification do you have to sit?"
Mrs. Chen forced a smile, "We are family. Why speak of such formalities? You can all sit directly."
"Family? I dare not accept that. My family wouldn't abandon me when I was seriously ill. They would only run around for me. Besides..."
Murong Lingran, with a stern face, looked at her sitting position, "Do you know what position that is?"
"It's just a place for people to sit. What else could it be?" Mrs. Chen replied nervously.

Murong Zhe said in a deep voice, "You and grandma simultaneously sat at the top, and Xuanqing Country has always respected the left side. Grandma is the elder, and she sat on the right. Do you think Grandma’s status is inferior to yours?"
Mrs. Chen’s face turned as red as if it could drip blood. "This... our family is not a wealthy household anymore. Why bother about such rules?"
Murong Zhe suddenly smiled, "So, are you saying that we are an ordinary family, so we don't need to pay attention to the rules of respecting elders and younger generations? Fine, in the future, I won't treat your three children as my younger generation. I'll treat them as equals. How about that?"
Mrs. Chen panicked and couldn't help looking to Mrs. Liu for help. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu stared at her with a sinister expression, "I've grown old and momentarily forgot about respecting elders on the left and right. You're still young, living in the Taiyi Mansion for more than ten years. Have you also forgotten? When we entered just now, you helped me to sit on the right side. What do you mean? Do you want to ride on top of your old mother's head?"
Murong Lingran immediately continued, "Grandma, what do you mean? You and your daughter took the master's positions as soon as you arrived, leaving the guest's position to us, the real masters. Isn't this attitude obvious? You want to surpass Father and Grandmother and become the masters of our family, don't you? You want to ride on Grandmother’s head."
Mrs. Chen hadn't expected to be labeled so severely. She hurriedly stood up, anxiously explaining, "Mother, I really forgot. I have no intention of disrespecting you."
After speaking, she looked at Murong Zhe, "Eldest brother, I really didn't mean that. I just forgot, please don't misunderstand."
Mrs. Liu snorted coldly, "The sooner, the better. If you make this mistake again, don't blame me for dealing with you!"
"Yes, yes, I won't. I've remembered. I won't make the same mistake again."
Mrs. Chen, seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't pursue the matter, breathed a sigh of relief.
She did indeed have the intention of wanting this house. Just now, she wanted to test Murong Zhe, but she didn't expect him to be so unyielding. Moreover, she was publicly exposed by Murong Lingran, which was really hateful!
After lecturing her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu returned to the previous topic, without any politeness, "Take out all the congratulatory gifts you received today."
Murong Zhe remained indifferent, "Mother, those congratulatory gifts are for us. Since we have already separated, you have no right to inquire about them."
