"This..." Wei Yangshi was momentarily taken aback.
"Madam Wei, before, it was Wei Yao who kept sweet-talking me, asking me to let my handmade glove dolls be sold in your embroidery house, and whatâs the result? Now I canât find her, but I see the dolls my family made being sold in the Longfeng Embroidery House in Beijing." Yang Ruxin suddenly slammed the table, "The Wei Family is really bullying people, arenât they?"
Wei Yangshi was startled. She came today to find Wei Yao, so why was this being taken out on her?
"Madam Wei, about this matter..."
"Madam Gu, this isnât something I can handle." Wei Yangshi abruptly stood up, "The Wei Familyâs business is not something our branch meddles with; the main branch is in charge. As for what youâre talking about, I really donât know about it." After saying this, she turned to leave, "Since Madam Gu isnât so welcoming, Iâll take my leave first..." Her posture was as if someone was chasing her from behind.
Wei Ran was a little confused; why did she suddenly leave? But she wasnât dumb; if her mother-in-law left, sheâd definitely have a hard time staying, so she hurriedly followed suit to run out.
But not paying attention, she tripped over the threshold at the doorway and fell straight forward.
This fall was unfortunate, for she grabbed hold of the skirt of Wei Yangshi, who had just exited.
In the summer, nobody would use thick materials for skirts; typically, they used silk or something to stay cool. Coupled with the fact that Wei Ran put quite some force into the fall, there was a ripping sound as the lotus-colored skirt tore, dragging down the underpants, exposing half of her white bottom.
Why only half? Because Wei Yangshi instinctively pressed her hand against the other half.
In this era, women didnât have the kind of snug underwear that came later; it was basically a dudou, followed by undergarments and pants, with a skirt on over it. If the skirt ripped and the pants got yanked down, well, itâd just reveal their backside, wouldnât it?
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and in the next moment, the maids and servants following were stunned, their expressions quickly changing, then they rushed forward all at once.
Wei Ran was completely dumbfounded, lying on the ground without knowing what to do.
Wei Yangshi, at this moment, wished the earth would swallow her whole, but couldnât immediately rebuke Wei Ran, nor had the face to say anything. Wrapping the torn skirt around herself, she hurriedly ran out.
Wei Ran was also supported up by her maid; disregarding her scratched palm, she quickly shivered her way out too.
"This... hahaha..." Yu Qingge had been gaping at everything that happened, then suddenly burst out laughing heartily, "Didnât expect that... bottom to be quite white... hahaha..."
As the hostess, Yang Ruxin shouldnât laugh, but she couldnât help it. Though not as exaggerated as Yu Qingge, she chuckled uncontrollably.
The surrounding servants also shook with silent laughter.
"Sis, is this person here to make us laugh?" Yu Qingge laughed so hard her stomach hurt, clutching Xuxuâs hand to have her rub her tummy.
Everyone else couldnât help but laugh out loud too.
"Regardless of whether itâs funny, from now on, Madam Wei will definitely hate me, and the Wei Family and Gu Family have essentially torn each other apart..." After laughing, Yang Ruxin looked at everyone present, "I donât need to say more, nothing happened here today, understood?"
