During Baili Yanâs birthday, this grandfather and grandson pair first tripped Dongyang, then shouted loudly claiming that Mu Shaoling had been stabbed, causing Dongyang to faint. It was said that upon returning home that day, Madam Tong was stripped of her household authority and confined for two months, and even this grandson was held at home for several days before being allowed to return to school.
State Duke Tong originally planned to personally apologize to Mu Shaoling upon his return, but after receiving Baili Yanâs order, he brought gifts to the Mu Family the following day. Although Old Master Mu was displeased, considering they were all in the same boat, he refrained from saying anything too harsh.
Now hearing Yang Chuxia bring up this matter again, State Duchess Tongâs face turned black and blue as she glared at Yangyang. This little bastard, every incident involves him. As long as heâs involved, their family canât be in peace.
"Madam Ye, youâd better not digress. We are talking about this current incident. What is the meaning of bringing up past events? Everyone says you shouldnât expose peopleâs shortcomings or hit their faces. Is Madam Ye bringing up these things deliberately to embarrass Madam Tong?"
Yang Chuxia didnât expect that the first to refute her would be First Madam Luo.
She couldnât help shaking her head silently, thinking, damn, how stupid.
"First Madam Luo might not know one thing."
Yang Chuxia raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, "The one thing I love most is exposing peopleâs shortcomings and hitting their faces. Thatâs the only way to have fun, right? Donât talk to me about being rustic or not rustic. So what if my son is from the countryside? Your grandson is not too young either and is nearly twice the size of my son. A crowd of people gossiping behind my sonâs back, so what, shouldnât they be hit? If you dare to gossip about others, you should be prepared to be caught and taught a lesson."
Pausing for a moment, Yang Chuxia continued, "Want an explanation? Hmph, itâs just as well you came today because I was planning to find you about this. Donât pretend youâre in the right. Gossiping behind my sonâs back is one thing, but then bringing servants to beat my son â you want to settle accounts with me? Fine, you see the bruises on my sonâs face? And his body is bruised too. First heal my sonâs injuries, then have your grandson apologize to my son, saying they shouldnât have gossiped behind his back, and Iâll give you an explanation, otherwise forget it."
Having long known that Yang Chuxia was unreasonable, First Madam Luo didnât expect Yang Chuxia to easily back down this time.
She then shouted, "If you insist on saying this, Iâll have to report to the palace."
"Fine, if you arenât afraid of being laughed at, you can go." Yang Chuxia waved her hand, hoping she would, "You say youâre going to see the Emperor, or the Noble Princess Concubine? Whatever you like!"
"You!" Madam Tong saw her acting so domineering and shouted, "Where is Lord Ye? I want to see your Lord Ye. Doesnât he care anymore? Iâve never seen a family like yours, where a child makes trouble and isnât corrected but defended instead."
"Brother, theyâre so strange." Upon hearing this, Yangyang turned his head to Lele, "The origin of this incident was the Prime Ministerâs illegitimate grandson, and it has nothing to do with them. They meddled and came to trouble us, bringing so many people to beat and insult us. Itâs clearly their problem, so how are we the ones causing trouble?"
"Who said you caused trouble? Mother didnât say that." Lele pulled him, "Donât listen to those ignorant women. Theyâre obviously protecting their own and still blame our mother, truly reversing the situation. Brother, you shouldnât have stopped Mother from going to them. See, now weâre at a disadvantage."
