"Qian Xiaoqing will never be allowed to enter the Yang Familyâs home! It doesnât matter if the Emperor himself comes to plead; itâs simply out of the question!"
They say she lacks manners? She hadnât even opened her mouth upon her arrival, and already the second aunt had accused her of being ill-mannered. Well then, perhaps it was time to show her what being truly ill-mannered looked like.
Logically, she could not decide the marriages of her two younger brothers. She only had the right to make suggestions, not decisions.
But as for Qian Xiaoqing, whatâs the harm in her being overbearing just this once?
Moreover, the things she just said were true. She wasnât from ancient times; she wouldnât discriminate against women who had been married before or whose husbands had died. In her previous life, there were plenty of divorced women and widows, and itâs not like they all didnât remarry, right? The focus is on Qian Xiaoqing as a personâso tactless and shameless. Letting her marry into the family would only lead to chaos. Absolutely not.
"Hey, Yang Dachuan, little sister-in-law, are you going to intervene or not?" Ms.Qian of Wang Family immediately sprang up upon hearing this and started clapping her hands, "Is it you who runs your household, or is it these two young ladies? What maiden would dare to marry into your family in the future? Would she not be bullied to death by these two?"
These darn nieces had even brought a crowd to enjoy the drama.
As soon as Ms. Qianâs voice fell, Yang Chuxia keenly noticed that some in the crowd were looking at her and Yunyun with disapproving eyes.
It was clear that not one of them supported her and Yunyun getting involved in this matter.
Yang Xiayun, who had followed her closely for so many years, was no longer as naive as she used to be.
She retorted with a laugh, "Second aunt, donât you stoke the fire anymore. To be honest, my sister and Iâwe pick on bullies. With other girls, weâre all polite and respectful, but when it comes to your niece, Iâm set on bullying her today. If I donât tear off that shameless face of hers, then Iâm not Yang Xiayun."
"Hey, you little brat, are you asking for a beating?" Yang Xiayunâs words drove Ms.Qian of Wang Family insane. So this damned girl was bullying her niece, was she?
Bullying her niece meant disrespecting her, the second aunt.
"Yang Dachuan, are you going to deal with this, and will our families remain relatives or not?" After addressing Yang Dachuan, Ms.Qian turned to Ms. Wang, "And you, I am your sister-in-law! Are you just going to let your daughter talk to me like that? Whatâs wrong with my niece? So sheâs been married before, so what? Sheâs still chaste up till now, so how has she wronged Qingrui? If Qingrui hadnât sent my niece a purse, why would she have come to your doorstep?"
"Are you picking on my niece because she has no one to back her up, huh?" Ms.Qian was getting more and more infuriated, "Iâm telling you, Ms. Wang, if you donât resolve this matter for my niece today, Iâll spread it all over Wangquan Town to see if any reputable familyâs maiden would be willing to marry Qingrui afterward."
Ms.Qian questioned Yang Dachuan and his wife, but there were simply too many people in the Yang Family taking turns to speak, not leaving a chance for them to reply. Just then, Ms. Luo, who rushed over upon hearing the news, took the opportunity to speak.
"Now, sister, youâre her aunt as much as youâre Qingruiâs aunt. Isnât it unfair to take sides like this? Whatâs the benefit to you if Qingrui doesnât go through with the marriage? Are these the words an aunt should say?"
"You say Qingrui sent your niece a purse, but did he really send it? Even if the purse was indeed Qingruiâs, itâs possible that your niece just picked it up. I hate to say it, but Qingrui doesnât need to go out of his way to give a purse to anyone; just walking down our country roads, there are countless people who would want to give Qingrui a purse. Your niece isnât some heavenly fairy; is she so special that Qingrui would eagerly send a purse to her?"
