She thought of the days and nights of fleeing, when she and Lixiang were two little girls, dirty and smelly, and they were afraid that others would find out that they were two girls and have bad intentions. Sleeping in the inn, there were strong and powerful men outside talking and laughing loudly. She and Lixiang were so scared that they hugged each other and looked at the door in horror, afraid that those fierce and tall men would suddenly rush in.
Also, they were looked down upon in the Anxi Marquis' Mansion. The Xu family didn't care about her suffering. They only cared about Mingyu's identity as the second wife and what benefits she could bring to them. Once she lost this identity, what would greet her would be endless anger and abuse.
"When I was dying in the northwest, what were you doing? You were living a peaceful life in the capital..." Mingyu's tears fell, "Why do you say I'm embarrassing? My parents and brother didn't think I was embarrassing, why do you? You still want to beat me up, isn't it just that you can't get promoted or make money, we don't owe you anything, why do you say I'm embarrassing?"
In extreme anger, Mingyu's tears fell like beads from a broken string. She sobbed and could not speak. Thinking of every little thing that happened over the years, she was sad and angry. She could only say these few words over and over again. So what if she got divorced? Can divorced women not live? There are so many divorced women in the 21st century. Aren't they all happily looking for their next partner
Xu Changqian was hurriedly called back from the yamen by Dongyuan and Lixiang. When he lifted the curtain and entered the room, he saw his son twisting Xu Changgong's wrist with a furious look on his face, and his wife hugging her daughter and crying.
"What are you doing?" Xu Changqian felt a rush of blood to his head. He clenched and unclenched his fists, and his eyes turned red. Of course, this "you" refers to Old Lady Xu and the others.
"What are you doing?" Old Madam Xu leaned in Xu Changliang's arms and trembled with anger. She pointed at Madam Xu and Mingyu and said, "Ask your good daughter, she is very brave. She dared to attack grandma and aunt. I will beat her to death right now. Let's see if anyone dares to talk about it!"
Seeing his father coming back, Xu Mingye pushed Xu Changgong away, stared at Old Lady Xu with sharp eyes, turned around and hugged Mingyu to coax her, and said to Xu Changqian: "Dad, they scolded me and said it was embarrassing, and they wanted to hit mom. I was afraid that they would hit mom, so I pushed the old lady and Second Aunt."
Xu Changqian gritted his teeth, looked at Old Lady Xu and Xu Changgong with a sullen face, and nodded, "I know you have always disliked me, but I didn't expect you to dislike me so much. No matter how incompetent I am, I will never let my wife and children be humiliated."
Xu Changgong's wrist was twisted by Xu Mingye and it hurt. He said angrily, "Brother, don't listen to the nonsense of the children. No one is humiliating my sister-in-law and the others."
Mrs. Hu was still crying and throwing a tantrum, "Oh, I can't live like this anymore. The younger generation dares to hit people! I have no face to live anymore!" Didn't the eldest wife want to move out? It would be better for her to move out quickly, so that they wouldn't have to eat and live in their house.
At this meeting, Xu Mingrui also got the news and rushed over. Seeing her mother crying miserably, she naturally thought that Hu had suffered a loss. She ran over crying, stamped her feet and scolded Mingyu, "How shameless you are! You dare to hit your elders. You have no respect for elders and no education!"
Mingyu wiped her face and snorted, "You can scold me as much as you want, I don't care what you say." Mingyu couldn't accept scolding her relatives, but she didn't care if she was scolded. "I'm a divorced person, it doesn't matter what happens. Anyway, my reputation is not good. But you, if you want to get married, you should be more careful about what you say. Don't be afraid of being called a poisonous tongue woman and being an old maid who can't get married. You can scold me as much as you want!"
When it comes to quarreling, Xu Mingrui, a half-rich lady who was raised in seclusion, is no match for Mingyu, who was born in New China and grew up under the red flag. Seeing Mingyu's indifferent attitude and her refusal to listen, Xu Mingrui's face turned red with anger. She has never seen such a shameless woman in her life!
"Shameless!" Xu Mingrui's face flushed red, and she searched her brains for all the vicious words she knew to attack Mingyu. "If I were you, I would have found a clean place to die long ago! You have been... and you still have the nerve to live? Our Xu family has been disgraced!"
"What happened to you?" Mingyu frowned. "Explain it to me clearly!" Isn't it just a divorce? There are so many women who got divorced. Do they all have to die
Xu Mingrui yelled angrily, "Stop pretending! What are you pretending for? Do you think others don't know? I just feel sorry for you and want to save some face for you. Don't be so shameless!"
Mrs. Hu suddenly felt her right eyelid twitching and realized that what her daughter was about to say was very wrong. She wanted to stand up and cover her daughter's mouth to stop Xu Mingrui from saying the next word, but it was too late. The stimulated Xu Mingrui blurted out everything like a machine gun.
"On your way back to Lu'an from Tianshui, everyone knew that you were..." Xu Mingrui didn't know whether she was embarrassed or angry. She didn't finish her words. She seemed to think that this was not cruel enough. She continued to stamp her feet and said, "If you were not afraid that the Marquis' Mansion would find out that you were not chaste, would you have to divorce in such a hurry? It's because you are guilty and shameless!"
The room was eerily silent for a moment.
Mingyu opened her mouth and closed it again. She looked at her cousin, whose face was flushed and filled with righteous indignation. She didn't know what to say. It was ridiculous. Was she going to have to explain her "chastity" to these people with tears and snot? Cry and beg them to believe that she was innocent? Bah, even if she was really raped, it was not their turn to call her "shameless".
She had long expected that someone would question her "chastity", but Mingyu never expected that it was not the people in the Marquis' Mansion who questioned her, nor the irrelevant people outside who questioned her, but her so-called "relatives" who questioned her "chastity". It was not questioning, but affirmation. They affirmed that she was innocent and wanted her to die to atone for her sins in order to preserve the reputation of the Xu family. They were indeed her good relatives!
"Who said that?" Xu Mingye's eyes were terribly gloomy.
Xu Mingrui shuddered. She suddenly felt that this cousin who was always steady, kind and smiling was very scary. His eyes seemed to tear her apart. Xu Mingrui hid behind Xu Changgong and shouted tremblingly: "Who are you trying to scare? She did these ugly things, and she doesn't allow others to say anything? I tell you, if you dare to bully my parents and make us displeased, I will go outside and yell and see who is afraid of who!"
At the end of her words, Xu Mingrui suddenly felt emboldened. They had the upper hand over the eldest wife, so why didn't she humble herself and try to please them? How dare she be so arrogant
Madam Xu recovered from her shock, her eyes blazing with fire, and aimed at Mrs. Hu who was standing beside her in a cowardly manner. How could Xu Mingrui, a half-grown girl, come up with these things? These indecent nonsense must have come from Mrs. Hu's mouth, and her daughter learned them.
"You bitch surnamed Hu!" Madam Xu cursed with gnashing teeth. She went forward and slapped Hu twice without saying anything. She made Hu see stars. She grabbed Hu's hair and yanked it violently. Her long nails left several bloody marks on Hu's face. "I will fight you! You dare to slander my daughter's reputation? I will slap your teeth out. Let's see if you dare to throw dirty water on my daughter again!"
Judging from her appearance, Madam Xu is a typical Jiangnan beauty. She is quiet and beautiful when she is silent. But those who know her, such as Xu Changqian, Xu Mingye and Mingyu, all know that Madam Xu actually has a hot temper. If you make her angry, she will do anything. But the Xu family in the capital don't know this. In their eyes, Madam Xu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family, is just a weak middle-aged beauty who even speaks in a sweet Wu dialect.
The series of reasonings Hu arranged about Mingyu's chastity touched Mrs. Xu's bottom line. She never expected that her sister-in-law, who had just been forbearing, suddenly turned into a ferocious tiger and beat her dizzy.
Xu Mingrui, who was hiding behind Xu Changgong, screamed and was about to rush over to help Hu. Mingyu stopped her, looked at her with contempt and said, "You stupid thing with no brains! You still want to make a fuss? You want people to talk about what happened to Xu Mingrui's sister? My reputation is ruined, but you, who gossip about my sister everywhere, have a good reputation? Idiot!"
After being enlightened by Mingyu, Xu Mingrui immediately understood what was going on. Her face turned red with shame and anger.
Old Mrs. Xu was shocked and angry. She stamped her feet and shouted, "Do you still have me in your eyes? You all want to rebel!" However, no one paid any attention to her at this moment.
Li hurried over to stop the fight, but after being bullied by Hu for so many years, how could she really help Hu? On the surface, she tried to stop the fight, but in fact, she hugged Hu's arm from behind and shouted, "Sister-in-law, calm down. You can't take the child's words seriously!"
Mrs. Hu was hugged by her arm, and Mrs. Xu took the opportunity to slap her in the face.
Xu Changgong was angry and anxious, watching the third wife Li take sides and his wife being beaten by his sister-in-law and brother's wife. However, as a man, he couldn't get involved in a fight between women. If he took action, the scope of the fight would be wide. He estimated that in the end, Xu Changqian, Xu Changliang and Xu Mingye would beat him up. Thinking of Xu Mingye's ruthlessness just now, Xu Changliang dared not to take action. Moreover, his wife and daughter were making up stories about Mingyu behind her back, which was really unreasonable. Even if she was beaten by her eldest sister-in-law, no one would say anything bad about Mrs. Xu.
Xu Changqian's face turned pale, and he finally sighed. He hated Old Lady Xu, and he didn't like these two half-brothers, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed away from home for more than ten years. But that didn't mean he didn't have brotherly love for Xu Changgong and Xu Changliang. He had always hoped that the two brothers would have a promising future, otherwise he wouldn't have scolded the two brothers as soon as he arrived in the capital. "Changgong, I thought we were brothers. As the second uncle, is this how you think of your niece behind her back? Mingyu is the daughter of our Xu family. She has suffered so much injustice and so much suffering, but in the end, you uncles and aunts treat her like this?" (To be continued.
