Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 414 Breaking up

At this time, there were many ladies sitting in the hall, most of whom were the wives of officials who had sent their children to take the exam.

Many of these people knew Song Ying, and when they saw her, they hurriedly said, "Finally you're here, come and show it to Madam Chen."

Lian Qiao came over with red eyes and led Song Ying behind the screen. Mrs. Chen, the wife of the county magistrate, was lying on the couch by the window, while Mrs. Shen, the wife of the prefect, was standing beside her, directing the maids to pinch the Ren Zhong point.

Miss Chen, the youngest daughter of the Chen family, had red eyes and stared hatefully at Miss Liu who was standing at the screen separating the inside and outside.

Miss Liu's eyes were also red, and her face was filled with a mixture of emotions such as anger, unwillingness, humiliation, and relief. Her mother, the wife of the Tongpan, wanted to help with an embarrassed look on her face, but the maids and old women all refused coldly and politely.

Feeling the subtle atmosphere inside, Song Ying remembered that Mrs. Chen was determined to marry Miss Liu to her son. Could it be that the servants of the Chen Mansion told Mrs. Chen about the incident between Miss Liu and the poor scholar at the doctor's table, and Mrs. Chen was angry?

Mrs. Chen had been excessively worried about her son's affairs for a long time, which had led to poor metabolism and liver qi stagnation, making her prone to shortness of breath and chest tightness. If she knew that the daughter-in-law she favored was flirting and openly talking to another scholar outside her house, she would easily be so angry that she would faint.

With this guess in mind, she walked to the couch and took Mrs. Chen's pulse.

Miss Chen glared at Miss Liu and her daughter, and suddenly said, "What are you still standing here for? Get out of here! Don't dirty my Chen family's land!"

Being expelled so rudely by a junior, the wife of the Tongpan immediately felt ashamed. Moreover, no matter how powerful the background of County Magistrate Chen was, he was only a seventh-rank official and a low-ranking official.

Seeing the magistrate's wife's face darken, Mrs. Shen quickly scolded: "How can you speak to your elders like this, kid? Hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Liu."

After reprimanding her, she said to Mrs. Liu, the wife of the magistrate, "Sister-in-law, don't bother with her. Her mother is like this now, and she is worried about her mother, so she speaks without thinking."

Mrs. Liu was not happy with this marriage in the first place, and was very angry that the Chen family wanted her daughter to marry their stupid son. Now seeing Mrs. Shen speaking for Miss Chen, her expression became even worse.

If we let it go so easily today, when officials' wives socialize with each other in the future, won't they think that her Liu family is made of clay and anyone can bully them?

She sneered, "We have soiled your Chen family's land? Humph, Miss Chen is really well-educated! A junior is pointing at the elders and scolding them. I have learned a lot today!"

Although he was determined, his words were not strong enough and he just blamed Miss Chen's tutor.

Miss Chen didn't know how to stop when she was ahead, and she still said rudely: "How can you be my elder? You raised such an unruly daughter. I don't even want to have an elder like you!"

Mrs. Liu's face turned cold at once because it concerned her daughter's reputation. She didn't want to maintain the relationship between the two families at all and directly tore her face off: "Let's not talk about the fact that the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. My daughter just went to buy a bowl of ginger soup for her brother and said a few words to someone. It was in public, there was nothing shameful, why are you so unruly?

As for you, the Chen family, don't you know what's going on with your son? You still want my daughter to marry you. You're so immoral. Aren't you afraid of going to hell after you die?"

Mrs. Chen had just woken up from the effect of acupuncture when she heard Mrs. Liu say this. She was so angry that her chest heaved rapidly and her face turned pale. She was about to faint again. Song Ying was quick to give her another injection.

She felt a little regretful after she finished. In the current situation, it would be better to let Mrs. Chen faint. Mrs. Liu had already torn her face off and didn't care about anything. To Mrs. Chen, her words were sharper than the tip of a knife. She didn't know how angry she would be.

Mrs. Liu, who was in a bad mood, changed her previous soft attitude. When she saw Mrs. Chen wake up, she immediately turned her spearhead towards Mrs. Chen, and her mouth crackled like firecrackers, "Why should I marry a fool, my good daughter?

If she gives birth to another stupid grandson, her life will be ruined. What grudge does my family have against you? Why do you want to harm my daughter?

You gave birth to this stupid son, but you didn't reflect on what you did to cause this retribution, and you even wanted to harm other people's girls! People like you really deserve to give birth to such a stupid son..."

"You--" Mrs. Chen pointed at Mrs. Liu and trembled constantly. Her chest was shaking like a broken bellows, making a loud noise. People were worried that she would not be able to breathe.

Song Ying didn't hesitate and simply gave her a shot to knock her out.

In fact, she felt that some of Mrs. Liu's words made sense. The young master of the Chen family was born with mental deficiencies, and it was not appropriate for him to marry and leave offspring in this situation, to avoid the same fate for the next generation.

Now County Magistrate Chen can still protect his foolish son. But when he grows old, his son and grandson will be foolish too, and there will be no officials to protect the family. Wouldn’t it be a problem to have food? He will suffer too. Why bother?

But the Chen family obviously would not accept such shocking words.

Song Ying looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Mrs. Liu, please be gentle with your words. Mrs. Chen can't stand it now."

Seeing Mrs. Chen fainted again, Mrs. Liu regretted saying those words to her, but those words had been stuck in her heart for a long time, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't say them out loud, especially since it was the Chen family who did it.

At that moment, Mrs. Liu stiffened her neck and snorted, "She can't stand it, but I can? When she forced my daughter to marry her stupid son, she never thought about how angry I, as a mother, would be."

Song Ying was just a commoner, and what she said just now was her limit. How could she argue with the wife of an official? Besides, she felt that what Mrs. Liu said made sense. From Mrs. Liu's point of view, this matter was indeed very infuriating.

Fortunately, Mrs. Shen reacted at this time and hurriedly advised: "I know you are angry, but isn't Mrs. He sick now? Everyone gets sick sometimes, and the patient's condition is more important. Come, let's go out and take a rest."

Mrs. Liu still gave face to the wife of her husband's boss. Besides, she was not the kind of person who would not give in even if she was right. So she took her daughter and followed Mrs. Shen out.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen felt very emotional. No matter how tough a person is, he will bite if he is forced into a corner.

It has been some years since she came to Shunqing Prefecture with her husband. Although she and Mrs. Liu live in Qingshui County and Shunqing Prefecture respectively, and their contacts are not close, they still have a lot of contact because of the relationship between their husbands as superiors and subordinates.

She thought she knew Mrs. Liu's personality very well. She was a very patient person and no matter how embarrassing the situation was, she would always leave room for words and would not easily fall out with others.

I think Mrs. Chen had this in mind when she fell in love with her daughter.
