Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 504 Disaster to Chiyu

It is definitely not okay to beat the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the eldest wife in public, but she has no psychological burden in beating these accomplices.

Jiang Shangxian tilted his head, his eyes cold and his lips curled up. "According to what you said, I was born in the market, a simple country woman. Then today I will let you know that simple country women must fight back when they are bullied, otherwise they will continue to bully them. You come from a clan and have been reading and learning since childhood. Naturally, you have the demeanor of a gentleman. I heard that scholars like to win others over with virtue. I guess you wouldn't think of fighting back if you were beaten, right?"

This statement...

Everyone inexplicably felt that it made some sense, but also felt that something was wrong...

No, you hit people just to prove your point that a gentleman wins people over with virtue, right?

"Lu Niang! How are you?"

Mrs. Zhou was also shocked when she saw her daughter being beaten. She froze on the spot, her head dazed for a while before she reacted. She ran to her daughter who was still lying on the ground, crying. Seeing the clear slap marks on her daughter's face, Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth and glared at Jiang Shangxian: "You bastard! How dare you insult my mother Lu!"

Zheng Bojiang was almost fainted from anger. Her mood had fluctuated so rapidly today that her brain was deprived of oxygen. She was just happy that Jiang Shangxian was rude, but the next second Madam Zhou rushed out and she realized - oh, the one who was beaten was the young lady of the Zhou family.

That's the Chenjun Xie clan! Even though they're a little inferior to them, they still need to be on good terms with each other!

She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, and didn't know whether this was a happy event or a bad thing. Anyway, she was quite conflicted, so she didn't say anything and waited silently to see how the situation would develop.

Madam Zhou's face was twisted with anger. She picked up the fruit teacup on the table next to her and smashed it towards Jiang Shangxian.

Jiang Shangxian's best skill was running. She still remembered that Cui Shuhua loved cleanliness, so she just ran to Zheng Bojiang, jumping around. She herself was not hurt at all, but Zheng Bojiang's maids all had something interesting on their bodies and heads.

Xiao Jiang felt that apart from anything else the old woman did, the professional qualities of these maids were quite high. They immediately stood in front without the old woman saying anything.

By the time she had thrown away everything within her reach, Madam Zhou's hair was disheveled and she was breathing heavily.

She looked left and right but saw nothing. She glanced at her daughter, whose face was swollen and she was still crying. She stomped her feet in anger, gritted her teeth, and headed towards the string music on the river like a green bull in Chang'an City.

Cui Bianxu glanced at Jiang Shangxian's position and withdrew his hand that was about to stop him.

Jiang Shangxian placed his hands on Zheng Bojiang's shoulders, hiding behind her to express his shock and confusion. "Didn't you just talk about being a gentleman? Why are you fighting with a commoner like me? We agreed that gentlemen use words, not fists!"

Those who were close stood up to avoid being accidentally injured, while those who were far away were able to maintain their composure, but their brows were furrowed.

Yes, Madam Zhou is too unreasonable. It is not surprising that Madam Jiang, who comes from a poor family, does bad things, but she comes from the Xie family of Chen County, how could she do such a thing?

Even though Zheng Bojiang was being held down and unable to escape, she was still affected even though she had a maidservant to protect her. Unable to bear it any longer, she finally shouted, "Stop it! What are you doing?! Do you still have the dignity of a noble family?"

Madam Zhou was stopped by the scolding, and her mind became a little clearer. The rustling sounds around her came into her ears, and she finally woke up from the rage that her precious daughter was beaten by a village woman. She looked at Zheng Bojiang who was sitting in front of her with some confusion, and then she caught a glimpse of Jiang Shangxian who was sticking his head out.

There was contempt and provocation in her eyes, and the anger that had just subsided halfway surged again - this village woman dared to despise her!

Ahhhhh!

Madam Zhou was angry!

"Too deceiving!"

The headbutt came online again, and he kept rushing forward without thinking!

"Ouch!"

"Madam!"

"Sister-in-law!"

There were continuous exclamations. Zheng Bojiang's maids thought the situation had stabilized, so they didn't pay attention and their master was hit hard and fell backwards to the ground.

Jiang Shangxian changed his position immediately, looking pitiful, helpless, and filled with grief and indignation, he said, "Madam Zhou, you, you even hit the Madam!"

It’s so cruel, so cruel!

The idiom "the fish in the pond are affected" is embodied at this moment.

"Quick! Call the court doctor!"

For a moment, everyone present was on pins and needles. Things had come to this point, and they didn't really want to continue watching the fun.

If you don't look carefully, you will easily get involved.

This time, Madam Zhou really woke up. Even Zhou Sanniang, who had been wiping her tears, stopped crying. She was almost scared silly.

Her mother, how could her mother even beat Madam Cui!

At the critical moment, Cui Shuhua stood up and directly announced that the flower banquet had ended perfectly, and everyone went back home and gossiped behind closed doors.

The speed at which the crowd left the venue was a miracle in the Tang Dynasty. Zheng Bojiang, who was leaning on her maid's arms with a pale face, felt for the first time that she might really be old. Not only did she have a dull stomach ache, but even her lower back hurt so much that she didn't even care about the tea that spilled on her body.

I just hope the doctor will come soon!

Cui Shuhua drank tea for the third time and was in a good mood at this time - if Zhao Yue dared to kick the table again, she would not be polite today!

"Sister-in-law, since ancient times, a woman who married into her husband's family became part of that family. Xianniang was also well-known for her virtue when she was at home. How come she became like this after marrying into our family? In my opinion, what happened today is all due to your poor guidance as a grandmother."

Zheng Bojiang didn't expect that Cui Shuhua was still unwilling to let her go at this time. Not to mention that she was already injured, didn't she see that there were two juniors and servants here?

Is this a lesson for her, and is it to tear off her face and throw it on the ground and stomp on it?

Cui Shuhua, however, still had that cold and aloof demeanor. Although she turned her face towards her this time, her eyes were fixed on the cup of tea on the table in front of her. "But Nian Nu is still a junior, and there is no custom for elders to apologize to the younger. Since the wedding is approaching, please give Nian Nu a few things that are recognizable, as a gift to her."

As she spoke, she lifted Jiang Shangxian's arm and pointed at the armlet on it. "This was just something Princess Jinyang gave to Nian Nu to play with. As the eldest sister-in-law of the Cui clan, the things you bring out can't be comparable to the royal family's trinkets, but they can't be much worse, so as not to bring shame to the Cui clan."

Zheng Bojiang suddenly felt a little pain in his teeth - they were about to break.

Didn't she give a meeting gift? Why did she have to give a meeting gift twice in one day?

Also, Cui Shuhua, if you have any dignity, how can you ask for something? And you're using the princess as pressure on her, isn't this bullying?

Jiang Shangxian is already in this state, and you still want to ask her for things?

She was unwilling to give it, as she knew that her things would be given to her two sons in the future, so no matter how much she had, it would never be too much.
