Chapter 1059: Nephew and Uncle, Departing Together!

Hongying and Zhao Yuru also had weak limbs, but they still tried to persuade the old lady."Mother, don't worry, Lao Si will probably be back in a few days."Before the words even hit the ground, the so..."Ahem," Li Lao'er coughed twice and asked, "What happened"

Wan Qiu was startled, quickly stepped back, revealing the Feng family mistress and her servants who looked like blood gourds.

Before Wan'er could even respond, Mrs. Feng had already climbed frantically to the threshold, yelling at the top of her lungs.

"Uncle Li, please save me! Ohhh, your daughter-in-law is going to kill me! I came as a guest, and she wants to murder me!"

Waner was very uneasy, although she was in the right today, hitting someone was still not a good look.

Unwilling, Li Lao Er directly called Zheng He behind him and ordered, "Tie up these two people first, gag their mouths, don't delay our own people from talking!"

Zheng He immediately stepped forward and, in three or five moves, tied up Mrs. Feng and her servants like dumplings.

Mrs. Feng thought she had been rescued, but to her surprise, it was an accomplice of the enemy army!

She gasped in surprise, which conveniently made it easier for Zheng He to stuff the cloth into her mouth.

"Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo hoo!"

Mrs. Feng twisted wildly, expressing her fury.

Sadly, no one paid any attention to her!

Li Lao'er turned to his daughter-in-law and asked, "What's going on"

Then, Juan quickly recounted what had just happened. She was so enraged by Madam Feng's insult toward her younger sister-in-law that she wished she could kick her again.

Both Lao Er Li and Mr. Wen were angry, their faces turning red.

Mr. Wen shouted, "You scoundrels! Some people are afraid of being caught, so they want to drag our family down with them as a shield!"

Li Lao'er nodded and said coldly, "They made a wrong guess!"

Their eyes met, and in that instant, they silently reached a mutual understanding.

One must retaliate, otherwise such incidents will continue to occur.

Even if the Li family doesn't want to get involved, they're likely to be dragged in eventually.

"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time since you've visited your aunt at the Jia family, hasn't it Why not go for a visit today to clear your head Family should always stay in touch. It'll be harder to do so as days get colder, even if you wanted to." Mr. Wen cast a glance at Mrs. Feng and subtly suggested that Wan'er go complain.

Wǎn'ěr already had this plan. Her aunt was always suppressed by that elder sister-in-law in the Jia family. Now that such a perfect opportunity to slap her face appeared, she naturally wanted to hand it over to her aunt and help her vent her anger!

But she still hesitated, looking at her stepfather...

Li Lao'er smiled and also instructed, “Since you’re going anyway, spend more time talking to your aunt. Also, if you encounter such a thing again, don’t hesitate to act.

”

Your grandmother and aunts are all out, Jiaren is also out, the only female in our family who's moving about is you. No one is around to help, if you're not a bit spicy, it's easy to be bullied.

Our Li family isn't afraid of a daughter-in-law who is sharp-tongued, we just fear being bullied and having someone foolishly cling to a reputation of virtue!

After that, he returned to the front yard with Mr. Wen, leaving Wan'er silent for a long time, her eyes slowly turning red.

She must have accumulated decades worth of good karma, just to marry into the Li family this lifetime...

"Get the carriage ready, let's go to the Jia household!"

In late autumn, several people immediately sprang into action, packing their belongings and taking Mistress Feng and her servants with them. They stormed out the door!

The entire new city was filled with unease. No one would leave their homes unless it was a matter of great importance, and the Jia family was no exception.

Master Jia and Second Master Jia rarely got together to drink tea and chat.

Mrs. Jia Er heard this and had someone bring a piece of jade gourd, cut it in half, and sent half to her mother-in-law and the other half to her husband and elder brother in the study to quench their thirst.

The maidservant who usually served Jia's second mistress close by advised, "Madam, this jadeite gourd was specially sent by Miss Lin to show her respect for you. You, you have distributed it to everyone else, but haven't been willing to eat a piece yourself."

Mrs. Jia Er waved her hand and laughed, "If Baozhu were at home, I definitely wouldn't divide it out. After all, she wouldn't have enough to eat yet. But since Baozhu was taken away by her maternal grandmother, this good thing is left behind."

Recently, the old woman has had a poor appetite. The grandfather and the elder grandson discussed this seriously and agreed that she should eat more.

The old woman had followed her mistress for many years and knew that persuading her would be useless. She could only hurry to get busy.

At this moment, a rough maid from the second door actually came running to deliver a message.

"Madam, your cousin is here. She looks unwell, and she brought... Mrs. Feng with her!"

Mrs. Feng

At first, Jia's second wife didn't react. It was the old woman who reminded her, "This Mrs. Feng is the niece-in-law of the mistress's family, isn't she"

"Yes, yes!" The rough-spoken woman quickly nodded her head and added in a low voice, "He was brought here bound."

Now, everyone's face turned pale.

Mrs. Jia Er personally went out to greet them.

At this moment, Wan'er had already walked halfway. Seeing her most beloved aunt, she burst into tears immediately.

"Auntie, I'm so angry! The mistress's niece-in-law actually came to our house and caused a ruckus, even alarming my father-in-law and Mr. Wen! I am truly ashamed to be in my husband's family. If this isn't handled well today, I will request to leave the household!"

“This silly child, what nonsense are you talking about! Your in-laws treat you like a treasure, they wouldn't even utter a harsh word to you. Your husband is a newly appointed champion scholar, people envy him so much their eyes turn red, and you actually want to resign If you continue acting so out of line, I'll beat you up for your parents!”

Jia Er-fu felt sorry for her niece and took her into her arms, both comforting and scaring her.

Seeing that they had been talking for a long time without coming to her rescue, Mrs. Feng, bound like a zongzi, wept in fury.

"Jia Erfu just now seemed to have seen her for the first time, and asked her niece, "What's going on"

Wan'er immediately wiped her tears and simply told him the story.

Then, Mrs. Jia Er immediately darkened her face and shouted, "This is unacceptable! It's like she's gone mad!"

She turned her head and called to the housemaid, “Go to the study and call both the master and the second master to Old Madam’s courtyard. And don’t forget the mistress either. Today, if we don’t have a good talk, no one will take our side as niece and nephew. I’ll even resign from my position!”

The old woman responded with a nod and turned to leave. Jia's Second Madam then ordered her servants to bring Feng Madam and her attendants, and they hurried straight to the main courtyard.

Where there is a master, there must be a servant!

Jia's second wife's fiery temper, naturally, her trusted maidservant who she held in high regard, was no pushover either.

Thus, Mr. Jia and his brother were playing chess, fiercely battling to a stalemate, when they heard that their daughter-in-law wanted to resign from her duties in the main hall.

"Naughty! Such a fine day, the children are all grown up, what nonsense is this about going downstairs!" Jia's second master scolded fiercely, but after throwing the chess piece away, he immediately ran to the backyard, leaving his elder brother behind.

Madam Jia also knew that her two daughters-in-law were not on good terms and sometimes had disagreements. She would always try to smooth things over.

But today's matter, it's clearly impossible to gloss over.

Soon, everyone arrived.

When Mrs. Jia saw her niece-in-law tied up outside the door, she was immediately flustered. "Xiuzhi, how did you end up here"

Second Madam Jia never falls behind in speaking her mind. She immediately replied loudly, "Sister-in-law, this niece-in-law of yours is quite capable! Not only does she run rampant in our Jia family, but she even went to the Earl's Mansion and acted as if she were in charge!

"

"She not only ruined the Feng family's reputation, your reputation, even our entire family's reputation! I really don't know who gave her such guts!"

"Second Sister-in-law, don't be so cryptic! Just speak plainly!" Madam Jia was quite annoyed by the prickling feeling of being stabbed with a sharp remark. She didn't care about maintaining her usual dignified and composed demeanor anymore; she blurted out angrily.

Today's two updates are here~~so big, it could eat a boat, let alone a person!""It's not necessarily true, how could you chew and digest a whole ship"Everyone was talking over each other, and it looked like they were about to star...
