C169 The Suspicion of Li Song

Seeing the walking stick falling towards him, Mian Niang dodged subconsciously.

The walking stick missed, falling down along her shoulder. The strength was no longer as strong, but Mian Niang still clenched her teeth in pain.

After smashing it, Lady Song Li's expression was somewhat shocked.

She looked at the cane in her hand in disbelief, then looked at Mian Niang who was frowning in pain, and quickly threw the cane away.

On the surface, however, he still spoke harshly, "How can you be so foolish as to believe everyone?"

"He saved me a few times, so he can't be a bad person."

Mian Niang thought about Jiang Ting, thought about all of his actions, and felt that she had no reason to doubt him, nor could she let her mother suspect him.

"You believe him, you actually believe him. Have you forgotten about that surname Gu? Those people, how could there be any truly good people? Yes, he saved you, but even if he did, how do you know that he didn't have other plans? What he is thinking is not to use you again. "

"What's there to make use of? If he really only wanted to make use of us, there's plenty of ways to do it, so why waste so much effort?"

A few steamed buns had saved her life for no reason, which only increased Madame Song's suspicion. She looked at her daughter without fighting and felt that she had committed a great sin. "Do you really have to implicate this family and harm your brother again?"

Mian Niang thought back to the dagger in her saddlebag and felt that although that person's expression was as indifferent as usual, their care should not be fake. Furthermore, Mian Niang felt that such a person would not even bother to play any tricks with him.

But apparently, she didn't believe his reason could convince her mother at all.

"You sure trust him. Truly easy to fool, whatever he says is what he says. Think about it, since when did these rich and powerful young masters really put our lowly lives in their eyes?" "They are simply fooling you, plotting against you. Are you saying that you are trying to harm our family until we all die?"

Song Li thought of her deceased husband, her son that was sent to the army, crying and cursing at the same time. No matter how Mian Niang tried to defend himself, he couldn't explain it, so he just kept quiet.

"Stop wandering around in front of me, I still want to wait and see your brother grow up to become a river crab. If your brother can come back, you can show some mercy and let me live a few more years, okay?"

The relationship between mother and daughter, which had finally improved, returned to the past. It was not even as good as before.

From then on, Song Li saw Mian Niang as a decoration and treated him as a decoration. She did not bother with Mian Niang's words, and even the money needed to sell tofu, she had sent her youngest son over to Mian Niang to take it back.

Madame Song threw out the brush and ink Jiang Ting had given Song Zhien. She coldly warned her daughter that it didn't matter if she was courting death;

Separated by a wall, when A Yunniang heard Madame Song's clamoring, he did not think too much and only thought that Madame Song was still blaming Mian Niang for the past matters.

What should have been said had been said long ago. The mother and daughter duo's hearts couldn't be resolved, and no one could do anything about it.

Fortunately, Mian Niang was doing her usual tofu work and selling tofu, she could not tell that something was wrong, and A Yunniang secretly calmed down.

She did not know whether her son's idea was right or wrong, she only knew that their son's idea could bring them the most benefits, and who wouldn't want to be rich and powerful.

It was just that she always felt empty inside.

These few days, the women of the Zheng family came to make a scene every day. Today, two concubines came to the house, making a huge ruckus.

No matter how fierce tofu hyacinth and Wu Niang were, they were not a match for the rest of them. Fortunately, the Elementary Scholar finally arrived in time, and when he saw his little sister who was pregnant, he quickly stepped forward to help.

It was one thing if he didn't appear, but the moment he appeared, he was instead spat on by the other party.

"Pah, so you're that useless man who eats soft food from girls. What's wrong, you're useless now, are you trying to make up for the lack of men by letting your sister hook up with other men? You look like a rootless eunuch, but you only do these wicked things."

He had never been humiliated like this in his twenty odd years of life. Even when he had torn off all decorum with Mian Niang's family, the Song Family members would not use such explicit words to scold him. They were so angry that their faces and necks turned red, but they did not know how to explain themselves.

The person who knew that the other side wouldn't allow them to do so immediately cursed even more harshly.

He looked at his mother and sister for help, hoping for them to rescue him from this predicament. The two of them were too busy to take care of themselves, tofu hyacinth was doing their utmost to protect his daughter, who was pregnant. How could she have the free time to help him? The groom they had brought with them roared with laughter.

Even a few servants from his own family snickered.

This made him more embarrassed. He threw his sleeves and said angrily, "I don't want to argue with you, stupid woman."

"If you don't want to argue, you won't be able to. You have a guilty conscience, useless man. This is retribution. Your sister and her man aren't living in peace, and she's purposely hooking up with other men. God, please open your eyes, it's all retribution to your body. It's your fault for being so useless, it's just for the sake of eating something soft. "

The Elementary Scholar was infuriated and took a deep breath. It took him a long time before he was able to recover. His finger was trembling uncontrollably as he pointed at the other party, only half a mouthful of "You …"

The other party said angrily, "You dare point at me?"

The Elementary Scholar's eyes only saw the nail flash past and his face was burning.

The man smugly flashed a fingernail at him. Two long pieces of meat were hanging on his fingernails.

The Elementary Scholar touched his face and cried out in pain.

He took it off his palm, and a bright red bloodstain appeared on it.

This time, it was truly a gentle sweep of the floor. It was even more embarrassing than the night he was hung outside the academy. A wave of hatred suddenly arose in his heart. He felt that it would be great if he could completely vent this hatred in his heart. He couldn't care less about being gentle this time. He rushed forward to tear apart the Zheng Family concubine.

However, he had never fought before. Even if he was fierce, he wouldn't be able to find any good techniques for a while. Instead, that nimble girl had the upper hand and scratched his face a few times.

In the end, Wu Niang became ruthless and scolded the servants in the family, "If you don't sincerely want to help, each and every one of you will be sold to a place that's lower class."

The river crab body contract was in her hands, so no one dared to take advantage of her and hurriedly went forward to help.

The two families were fighting and fighting each other.

Just as the atmosphere was bustling, Zheng Dahu rushed in from outside and directly slapped the faces of his two concubines.

He was tall and sturdy, and his hands were strong. He was a weak scholar who could not be compared with other scholars.

The two concubines were stunned. They covered their faces as they looked at him, either resentfully or wrongly calling him 'hubby'.

He pointed at the door and shouted, "Scram! Young Miss, you made a fool of yourself here! You useless thing!"

His two concubines who were about to become infatuated with him, retreated in fright due to his expression. After poking at each other, they glared hatefully at the three Mei Family s behind him and left with bloodshot eyes.

The courtyard finally quieted down.

tofu hyacinth finally noticed her son's torn cheeks. No matter how disappointing her son was, he was still the most precious thing to her heart, causing her heart to ache. She quickly walked over, held her son's hand, and wanted to see the wound on his face.

The Elementary Scholar had calmed down and pulled his mother to the side, watching Zheng Dahu and Wu Niang face off.

In the end, Wu Niang spoke and chased away the servants of In the garden. She stretched out her hand to Zheng Dahu and said: "If there's anything you want to say, please speak."

At this moment, her hair was in disarray, and there was a faint palm mark on her face. Her usual charm was gone, replaced with a bit of disarray. However, it also caused one's heart to involuntarily feel a bit of tender affection.

Zheng Dahu suddenly thought back to the time when he had enjoyed the river crab meat. The burning anger in his heart had immediately somewhat dissipated, but very quickly, he thought back to the rumors he had heard recently.

Her eyes were staring straight at the back of Wu Niang's head, and she was extremely angry, if she couldn't give a reasonable explanation, she would definitely give Wu Niang a hard time.

Seeing the two of them rushing towards Wu Niang's courtyard, tofu hyacinth immediately pulled the Elementary Scholar who wanted to go back to her house to apply the medicine followed them.

Wu Niang heard the footsteps from behind him, her mouth twitched, and revealed a mocking smile.

This was not the first time Zheng Dahu had come to their doorstep. Everyone who was involved with Wu Niang knew about the incident that had happened in the courtyard.

After the servants in the family were ordered to retreat by Wu Niang, they gathered in groups of two or three to discuss once again the purpose of Zheng Dahu coming to visit.

Hu Tong was even more so surrounded by a circle of people, a mere Mei Family was akin to contracting a county for half a year's worth of talk.

Wu Niang's courtyard.

The servant helped Wu Niang comb her hair, changed her clothes, and applied powder on her face. When she came out again, she looked extremely charming.

As he sat in the main seat, he allowed the servant girl to serve him tea. Her eyes swept across her mother, Big Brother River Crab and Zheng Dahu.

Sneering coldly, ridicule could be seen on his face.

"You really came at the right time. This matter has already been stirred up for a few days. If it had been just a little bit later, you would have already retrieved my corpse."

She gently waved the kernels in her hand. Seeing her like this, Zheng Dahu immediately explained without the aura he had in front of the two aunts.

"No, I've told you before that I'm going out to do business. I just got home yesterday, yet I found out that so many things happened while I was gone."

He almost forgot what he was doing and stood up immediately. He asked coldly: "They said that the man you followed before was Prince Rong, is this true?"
