Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 497 Reading Comprehension Full Score

Yingzi looked at the person who spoke angrily, "This lady has a point, but since we are family, why didn't anyone in this courtyard stand up and say a word of justice for my aunt when they bullied her just now? They watched helplessly as my aunt was bullied by this arrogant servant, and she even hit her? It's a good thing there are outsiders here today. If this had really been behind closed doors, wouldn't my aunt have been beaten to death?"

She didn't know Jiang Shangxian had fallen on purpose, and she thought she had really been beaten. She was so angry that she almost died: "Even when we were at home, my wife and the old lady couldn't bear to touch my mother-in-law. She was beaten and scolded for having a nice flower banquet. I'm going to go to my son-in-law to reason with him and see who he is angry with!"

Who are you angry with? Of course, they are!

Yingzi's children had shrill and loud voices, and for a moment everyone felt a little weird - why did they talk as if they had done something that was hated by God and man?

Wang Xianzi had no choice but to force himself to come over and squat beside her, saying kindly: "The ground is cold, be careful not to hurt yourself, sister-in-law, you'd better get up quickly..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Shangxian, who had been crying, moved like a rabbit in the mountains, and jumped out of Yingzi's arms with a "whoosh", and fell headfirst into his arms.

"Ouch!"

Wang Xianzi was knocked backwards, and his left ribs under his armpit were so painful that they became numb, and he broke out in a sweat in an instant.

The people at the scene felt that everything that happened today was changing too fast. They couldn't keep up, they couldn't keep up at all. On one side, they were still fighting, while on the other side, Wang Xianzi had already fallen to the ground with a pale face and cold sweat.

The maids reacted and wanted to help Wang Xianzi, but Jiang Shangxian pressed his head on Wang Xianzi's chest like a big rock, rubbing his head back and forth, tears streaming down his eyes, and he kept sobbing: "Madam Wang, why do you bully me like this! Oh, oh, oh!"

Wang Xianzi saw stars and couldn't see anything for a moment. All he could hear was Jiang Shangxian's whimpering voice.

For the first time, she felt that the heartbreaking cries of the women vying for favor in the backyard, which she had been accustomed to hearing since childhood, could be so distressing when they were amplified several times and continued without interruption!

The noise downstairs had long attracted the attention of those upstairs. Zheng Bojiang had never intervened because this matter was between the young ladies. If she didn't intervene, even if Jiang Shangxian was bullied severely, she would always find a way to put the reputation of being unruly on her head.

The louder the noise, the better.

But who knew that they would start fighting in the blink of an eye!

This is simply unheard of. There are many young men outside who fight each other over a disagreement, but how could women in a family fight each other over a disagreement?

Absolutely ridiculous!

Runzhen was really smart. After telling Jianming about the complaint, he ran upstairs without stopping and bumped into the maid sent by Zheng Bojiang.

She was afraid that she would be stopped from doing what she was about to do, so she rushed up in two steps without stopping for a moment.

The maid was bumped by her but didn't care about anything else. She hurried downstairs and looked around before finally locking onto her target: "Madam Wang, Madam Jiang, the Madam wants to see you."

The eldest lady refers to Zheng Bojiang.

Thanks to her son and daughter-in-law, she has never had any grandchildren. People of her age have long been promoted to old ladies, which means that she and Zhao Yue are still ladies, which makes her look young.

It is naturally impossible for so many people to rush to the third floor. Whether they can stand or not is another matter. I am afraid that so many people may suffocate the pampered old ladies upstairs!

Jiang Shangxian and Wang Xianzi must go up. As for the remaining ladies and young ladies, only those who are important enough can go up.

The five old women, who had completed their first fighting mission with great satisfaction, were about to follow Jiang Shangxian up with rolling pins in their hands. How could the maid agree to that?

Look at them, they are all holding weapons, and they are not afraid of scaring the old ladies and wives!

"Miss Jiang, there's no need for these people to go up."

Jiang Shangxian had stopped his weird crying skills at this time, and took the opportunity to take a break with his handkerchief in hand. He gave them a look when he heard the words, and the five of them stopped in their tracks, and held the position at the stairs with a fierce look, as if to say: If there is any movement, just give us a call!

The maid's eyes twitched, and she let out a breath silently. She glanced at Jiang Shangxian but didn't say anything else.

Run Zhen, who was a step ahead, quickly located Zhao Yue and Cui Shuhua as soon as he reached the third floor. He trotted over and knelt down to kowtow, "Madam, Auntie, please save our Madam! The maidservant next to Madam Wang has gone crazy and wants to beat her to death!"

What does it mean to amaze everyone with just one sentence? Runzhen has achieved it to some extent.

For a moment, not only those who were nearby, but even those who were far away turned around, with surprise on their faces.

"what!"

Zhao Yue, who had been worried about her daughter-in-law, immediately stood up and said, "You said Wang Xianzi was beating your mother!"

This reading comprehension made Runzhen choke, but she reacted quickly and did not deny it. She just kept kowtowing: "Madam, Aunt, please go and save the old lady. She is weak and can't stand being beaten!"

Cui Shuhua couldn't sit still any longer: "Quick, quick, let's go take a look!"

Are those five maids around him just for show? They can even be beaten!

Zhao Yue, who had been meditating silently all morning, could no longer hold back. She kicked the table in front of her and shouted at Zheng Bojiang, "Sister-in-law, are you just going to watch your daughter-in-law bully my daughter-in-law like this?!"

After saying that, he jumped up and ran downstairs without waiting for her to answer.

Cui Shuhua was more refined than her. She stood up and brushed her skirt. Her face was calm as she raised her chin and looked down at Zheng Bojiang. "She can't even manage a small banquet. Sister-in-law, you should teach her a lesson before bringing her out, so as to avoid bringing shame to the entire Cui family!"

Everyone present was an old hand, and they could tell by her that she was clearly saying that the eldest daughter-in-law of the first house was not able to bear the responsibilities of a clan wife. Fortunately, the old hands had the professional qualities of old hands. They were frightened by Zhao Yue's kick just now, and now they all raised the Baihua wine to calm themselves down - and waited to watch the show.

Who says that people become deaf and blind when they get older?

They had heard some of the commotion on the first floor just now. The maids around Zheng Bojiang were coming and going. It was obvious that there was some trouble downstairs, and they had seen it all.

Zheng Bojiang was a little embarrassed by the criticisms from his younger brother's wife and sister-in-law. He frowned and said, "The final outcome of this matter is still unknown. How can Sixth Sister just...?"

Cui Shuhua, who had just walked a few steps out, saw that she dared to speak, so she flicked her sleeves and raised her chin proudly without even turning her head. "Sister-in-law, you must give us an explanation for this matter!"

After saying that, she flicked her sleeves again, and the hem of her skirt disappeared around the corner.
