"How did Miss Situ San come to be a prostitute? Do we need to explain clearly?"
Miss Li lowered her voice and said mockingly, and the eyes of several women from aristocratic families around her were filled with contempt.
Situ Man looked confused: "I really don't understand what Miss Li said..."
"The He family and Mr. Cheng were both discussing marriage, but your Situ family suddenly got involved. It was supposed to be Miss He Er who married Mr. Cheng, but you actually got this big advantage." Miss Li said coldly, "Definitely. It was you and Mr. Cheng who had a relationship before they got married. Otherwise, how could Mr. Cheng abandon the He family and become a son-in-law for your Situ family? He is so thoughtful..."
Before Situ Man could speak, a figure suddenly jumped up from behind.
"You're such a shameless little girl, saying such things in broad daylight!"
Old Mrs. Cheng came over in one stride and protected Situ Man behind her.
The Reading Pavilion opened today, and there were people everywhere. She came here to help. She was an old country woman and she didn't know how to do anything else. She just helped to make tea and do some hygiene. She was cleaning fallen leaves outside just now, and she heard this. Bad words.
It is shameless for these young women to throw dirty water on the Cheng family in their own territory.
"Look at how you are dressed, you are not married yet. You are all pretending to be ladies, but you say such shameless words. What does it mean to have a head and a tail? Tell me, what does it mean to have a head and a tail between men and women? You Are you hiding under other people's beds every day? Come on, tell me what you heard and how you are so sure that someone else rolled into the same bed..."
Mrs. Cheng grabbed Miss Li's wrist and pulled her out of the crowd.
Miss Li was no match for an old rural lady. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Her maid hurriedly stepped forward and said angrily: "You old woman, let go of our young lady. Do you know who our young lady is?"
"I'll know who you are if I go out and make some noise!" Mrs. Cheng gritted her teeth and said, "It's best to let the scholars outside know what nasty things you, an unmarried little girl, say all day long, and also let your father know Mom knows what she has given birth to!"
Ms. Li wanted to cry when she was arrested.
She only said "There is a beginning and an end", and the old lady interpreted so much information. If this matter spread, how could she get married.
"Hey, hey, what's going on?" Sister-in-law Cheng also came over to do odd jobs. When she saw this scene, she quickly broke up the fight. "It's the first day of business today. Why do you sit down and say, why did it happen like this?"
Old Mrs. Cheng turned her head and glared at her eldest daughter-in-law: "This little girl said that Zhao'er and Xiaoman got together before they got married."
"What?!" Sister-in-law Cheng suddenly became furious, "You look so damn bitchy and glamorous, why do you speak so unpleasantly? My Zhao'er has provoked you even though I have hired you. Since you don't know how to treat your mouth well, Speak and let me teach your mother a lesson!"
After coming to the capital, Mrs. Cheng has always kept a low profile when going out, for fear of causing trouble, but now the old lady has taken action. She is Zhao'er's biological mother, how can she watch.
So, she rolled up her sleeves, raised her hand, and slapped him twice.
Even in their village, if a man and a woman got together before marriage, they would be stabbed in the spine, let alone in the capital city.
They, Zhao'er, are going to be high officials in the future, so they can't let others tarnish their reputation.
Sister-in-law Cheng wanted to take action again, but Situ Man stopped her.
She really didn't expect that her husband's grandmother and mother would be so fierce. They scolded Miss Li and slapped her twice.
The other ladies from aristocratic families in this wing were all petrified. They didn't dare to step forward to break up the fight, and they didn't dare to say a word, for fear that they would be targeted next.
Although their family background far exceeds that of the Cheng family, if this matter really gets serious, they will only lose face and be married off to any man the family can find...
"Mom, stop fighting." Situ Man grabbed Mrs. Cheng's arm and said in a low voice, "Miss Li's father is a fourth-rank official in the court. Let's not make it difficult for our husband."
Sister-in-law Cheng suddenly felt weak. Oh my god, she actually beat the daughter of a fourth-grade official?
Mrs. Cheng had thought about it before taking action. These ladies from well-known families value face the most, and it is easiest to deal with people who want face.
She said coldly: "Miss Li, right? You should apologize to my granddaughter-in-law now. Even if this matter is over today, as long as you don't say it yourself, our Cheng family will not tell others that Miss Li loves to talk dirty." , you can marry a good husband again in the future."
Miss Li burst into tears.
What this means is that if she doesn't apologize, what happened in the wing today will be spread out by this vulgar old woman.
She was obviously scolded and slapped twice, but she still had to bow her head and apologize.
She looked in the direction of Miss He Er.
Miss He Er was hiding behind the maid, obviously not wanting to wade into this muddy water.
Miss Li could only stand up and bowed to Situ Man: "Miss Situ San, I was the one who was rude today. Please, Miss Situ San, don't remember the villain's fault and don't argue with me."
Old Mrs. Cheng waved her hand: "Our Xiaoman is a generous person, so naturally he won't argue with you. Everyone, go on your way. I won't give it away."
All the ladies in the wing room should leave quickly.
Fortunately, this is the entrance to the women's library. It is a semi-open entrance hall and is blocked by a huge bookshelf. Outsiders don't know what is going on, otherwise they will be embarrassed.
Walking outside, Miss He Er said: "Everyone, please keep your mouth shut about what happened today. Don't tell anyone, not even your mother and sisters at home."
If this matter reaches the ears of my aunt, she will think that she is still thinking about Cheng Zhao, and she will definitely not look good on her.
It was also the first time for other ladies to encounter this kind of thing. It was really embarrassing and humiliating to be entangled with a country woman, so naturally they would not tell anyone.
A group of ladies left the Reading Pavilion in a hurry.
Sister-in-law Cheng was a little uneasy: "Then Miss Li won't go back to complain and let the Li family come over to take revenge, right?"
Not long ago, the second sister-in-law offended the Ye family and caused a big fuss with the Ye family. She didn't want to confront the Li family. It was scary to think about it.
Old Mrs. Cheng picked up the rag and continued to wipe the cabinet: "If she wants face, she won't show it around. If the Li family really dares to come to their door, I will bring a hemp rope to the door of their Li family to sort out what happened today." He said, anyway, I am a country boy, I don’t want this face..."
Sister-in-law Cheng: "..."
Mom is indeed tall!
Situ Man: "..."
She couldn't even think of her grandmother's tricks.
She said sincerely: "Thank you so much, grandma and mother, for standing up for me."
Sister-in-law Cheng did not miss any opportunity to educate her daughter-in-law, and said: "You know that we are good to you, then you should be nicer to Zhaoer, and share more trivial matters with Zhaoer..."
"I was planning to take over my husband's account books." Situ Man said slowly, "It would be great if my mother could calculate accounts and write. It would be better to leave my husband's accounts to my mother."
She used to think that it would be enough to appease her mother-in-law with some small favors. Today, her mother-in-law defends her, so she still wants her mother-in-law to do something serious.
