Chapter 70: A slap in the face
Jinyan was outside and saw Xie Zian leaving, and Le Diandian ran in.
"Madam, when you get the divorce letter, you will be free. Let's leave this place quickly and not be angry with them anymore."
Liu Yunxiang stretched his waist and said, "He, he won't write a letter of divorce."
"But he has put down his words, how can he still regret it?"
"I'm hungry and my bones are weak. How can I have the strength to write a letter of divorce?"
As Liu Yunxiang expected, Xie Zian disappeared as soon as he left, and the letter of divorce was not delivered until it was almost dark.
At this time Yulian from the east courtyard came over and said that the old lady wanted to see her.
Liu Yunxiang was not surprised at all and walked over with Jin Yan.
The house was empty. The servants had either been sent away or ran away from hunger. The remaining few were the heads of each house. They had eaten one meal and had not finished another. Occasionally, I met a green-faced and haggard one, which was quite scary.
.
The same goes for Yu Lian, who is feeling dizzy when she walks.
When we came to the east courtyard, there was a lantern in front of the main room, emitting a dull light. The room was also dark, except for the west room, which was lit.
Entering inside, I first heard a cough, and then looked in under the dim candlelight and saw the old lady sitting on the bedside.
There was another person standing in front of her bed, it was the second lady Xue.
The old lady saw her and waved, "From the third family, come here quickly."
Liu Yunxiang stepped forward slowly and bowed in vain. When the old lady reached out to pull her, she calmly avoided it.
"My mother is sick, and you didn't come to say hello!" Mr. Xue said to her in a stern tone.
Liu Yunxiang pretended to be aggrieved and whispered: "When we first built that high wall, didn't my mother and second sister-in-law tell me to stay in the side courtyard and don't run to the main courtyard if I have nothing to do?"
Ms.
"I just don't understand, if you have built a wall, why do you need to open a door? If you want to open the door, why do you need to build a wall? Maybe you are full to support it?"
"Mother, look at her, she has no repentance at all!" Xue said angrily.
"Did I do something wrong? Why should I repent?"
"Okay, you guys are still noisy and you're going to piss me off!" The old lady said and coughed twice. Mr. Xue hurriedly sent water over and took a few sips.
Liu Yunxiang stood aside and watched them perform this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama.
"Your second sister-in-law is in charge, and sometimes she really lacks consideration. You should be the younger one and don't argue with her." The old lady glanced at Liu Yunxiang and said.
Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "I don't dare."
The old lady took a deep breath and said, "Mother knows that you have been wronged. How about this? From now on, you will still be in charge. You will still be the one to make the final decision on all the big and small things in the family. Isn't that okay?"
Liu Yunxiang twitched the corner of his mouth, this old guy is really good at scheming.
"It's not okay, after all, I'm an outsider."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who dares to say that you are an outsider? Slap her in the mouth!"
Liu Yunxiang nodded, raised his hand and slapped Xue.
There was a snap, crisp and solid.
Mr. Xue was stunned, and the old lady was also dumbfounded.
"You are too presumptuous!"
"My second sister-in-law said this because my mother asked me to beat her."
The old lady's face darkened, and when she saw Mr. Xue was about to make a fuss, she shook her head at her.
"You're angry now. From now on, you can take charge of the family well..."
"I won't do it!"
"What did you say?"
Liu Yunxiang spread his hands, "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."
"Don't you have food?"
"My food is only enough for a few people in my courtyard."
"Since you are from the Hou Mansion, you should take out the food and share it with everyone."
"Didn't my mother say that everyone should take care of his own business? The second sister-in-law also said that don't go to the door of another room to beg for food. This is so well said. I remember every word clearly."
Seeing that the two people were blocked and unable to speak, Liu Yunxiang saluted again, turned around and walked out.
When I returned to the side courtyard, before I even entered the courtyard, I heard the cry of a child.
Liu Yunxiang frowned and walked in to see Na Liniang standing in the courtyard holding her son. When he saw her coming in, he knelt down on the ground.
"Madam, Brother Kang is the third master's child. No matter how angry you are, you cannot anger the child. Please give him a bowl of rice to save the child's life."
Jin Yan hurriedly stood in front of Liu Yunxiang, "What you said makes no sense. When did our wife get angry at this child?"
Liniang didn't wait for Liu Yunxiang to say anything, she hugged the child and kowtowed, her forehead became swollen after a few times.
"I know that I come from a humble background, and I have never thought of competing with you for the position of the main wife. If you don't like me and feel angry with me, I can leave. I just ask you to be kind to Brother Kang."
With that said, Na Liniang actually put down the crying child, got up and walked out. Seeing this, Jin Yan hurriedly went to stop her, but while the two were pulling, Na Liniang fell to the ground for some reason.
Xie Zian came in and saw this scene.
"Liu Yunxiang, you are going too far!"
In a fit of anger, he rushed to Liu Yunxiang, raised his hand and slapped him.
Jin Yan was looking after Liniang, and Liu Yunxiang was not on guard.
This slap was so powerful that Liu Yunxiang took two steps back, and at this moment, a sword headed towards Xie Zian's chest!
"Zijin!" She quickly stopped him.
The tip of the sword was directly touching Xie Zian's mouth, and if it got any closer, it would bleed.
Xie Zian knew Kung Fu, but Zijin was so fast that he couldn't even avoid it.
Liu Yunxiang looked at Xie Zian with sharp eyes, "Xie Zian, I will remember this slap. Another day, I will repay you tenfold!"
After Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, she walked into the house, but when she passed the child, she saw that the child was crying heartbrokenly. She couldn't bear it and asked Zijin to give Na Liniang a bowl of rice.
