“You little brat, how dare you get cheeky with me? Believe it or not, I will—” Madam Zhao didn’t finish her sentence before she was interrupted by Qiao Dazhi’s furious shout.

“Enough! You’re not embarrassed, but I am! Shut your mouth; don’t you know that family disgrace should not be publicized?!”

Madam Zhao was taken aback by the shouting, suddenly looking aggrieved, “I was just speaking up for Yuanzhen, why are you scolding me?”

Qiao Dazhi glared at her, “Ignorant woman! Whether it’s Yuanzhen’s child or not, your shouting about it will lead others to believe that there is truth to the matter. Won’t Yuanzhen’s reputation be the one that suffers? You have the nerve to call yourself the Scholar’s Mother, but you don’t have a shred of sense, only causing trouble for Yuanzhen!”

Madam Zhao sheepishly closed her mouth, not daring to speak again, only feeling that she had lost face in front of that little bitch Qiao Muniang, and without forgetting, she gave her one last spiteful glare.

But Muniang didn’t pay any attention to her and said directly, “Grandfather and grandmother came today, and I know what it’s for. Qinghe has been toiling thanklessly in the Qiao family, and everyone knows her attitude. She hardly stepped out of the inner door, let alone the main gate. Take a good look at how much heart she has put in for your precious son! And now that she’s been driven out, you actually believe hearsay and come here to scold someone—don’t you care at all about Qinghe and the child’s current situation?!”

Qiao Dazhi’s face turned ugly, “It’s easy to know a person’s face, but not their heart; how was I to know what she’s done behind closed doors!”

Li Cheng nearly roared out in fury, “How did my sister ever wrong Yuanzhen after marrying into your Qiao family? You take her sincerity for granted, and now you are so cold-blooded! Hasn’t the Qiao family tormented her enough?!”

Li Cheng originally didn’t want to remember all the suffering Qinghe had endured, but seeing the Qiao family’s cold-heartedness made it impossible for him to hold back. The more angry he was now, the more he regretted it. If he had only known this would happen, he would never have allowed his sister to marry into such a family.

Muniang said coldly, “The ones who really don’t know a person’s heart might be your precious son. Everyone knows why he wants a divorce, no need to say more. Not to mention Qinghe is pure and innocent; even if she did have faults, the Qiao family has no right to scold her.”

“You little slut! And you say ‘your Qiao family’! You really don’t take us seriously, do you!” Madam Zhao was about to lose her temper again.

Qiao Dazhi was also infuriated, puffing his cheeks and glaring. He had been in charge for so many years and had never been defied like this; being talked back to by a young relative like Qiao Muniang, he naturally felt he had lost face.

“Where is Li Qinghe? Let her roll out here for me. Since you refuse to acknowledge the Qiao family, then you stay out of this. It saves me the annoyance of looking at you; both of you are up to no good!” Qiao Dazhi’s tone was filled with disdain.

Yu Ze’s gaze instantly turned fierce, “What kind of person my wife is, is not for you to judge. If you want to throw your weight around, first check where you are. If you genuinely want to ask something, you’d better adjust your attitude. Otherwise, leave now. Don’t make me be rude to you!”

Qiao Dazhi was so choked up he couldn’t reply, his face turning the color of a pig’s liver, internally seething with frustration. He was supposed to be the one demanding justice, but now it seemed as if he were begging someone for a favor.

Muniang sneaked a glance at Yu Ze and suddenly felt that being protected like this was a wonderful feeling. Even though she was strong and fierce on a normal day, what woman wouldn’t hope to be defended by the man she loved at a crucial moment?

Li Cheng clenched his fist and said, “My sister is unconscious now, if you have anything to say, say it to me directly.”

He would not let these two elders stimulate Qinghe again.

Qiao Dazhi could only say fiercely, “Whether it’s true or not, it doesn’t concern us anymore as she is no longer a part of the Qiao family, and we don’t care. But we cannot tolerate her tarnishing our family’s name. No matter what, you must clear up all the gossip in the village. Otherwise, if it affects Yuanzhen’s career, you will pay for it!”

However, Qiao Dazhi only dared to talk tough, in this courtyard, not to mention Yu Ze, even the likes of Li Cheng and Zeng Gang, who were accustomed to manual labor, could easily knock down the old man, so he dared not provoke them. After dropping that threat, he stormed off with his sleeves flapping.

Madam Zhao was still not over it; she had come with a bellyful of fire, intending to vent it on Li Qinghe, but ended up being stuffed with even more rage. What kind of situation was this? But since the old master had already left, how could she dare to stay? She could only follow furiously.

Li Cheng angrily said, “Those damn Qiao family people! When my sister suffered in their house, they turned a blind eye. Now a little something happens, and they don’t worry about the child and her safety, but only about that bastard Yuanzhen’s reputation being damaged. What exactly do they take my sister for!”

Muniang consoled, “Don’t get angry with such people; it only serves to upset yourself, right? Now that such a thing has happened, they’re feeling bad and want to make others feel worse. If you really get angry, that would be foolish.”

Wanwan also joined in comforting, “That’s right, fortunately Qinghe and her child are safe now. Even if Mrs. Liang and Shitou are slandering Qinghe now, when you are in the right, you need not fear crooked shadows. Why bother with them?”

Thinking it over, Li Cheng finally breathed easier. Indeed, the situation today could be considered good. If Zeng Gang hadn’t caught her in time, Qinghe might even be in mortal danger by now, not to mention whether the child could be saved.

“All right, Qinghe won’t wake up any time soon, and it makes no sense for all of you to be crowding around here. You should go back first. The fields need tending, and Chengzi, you also have to find time to go hunting in the mountains. You don’t have the spare time to hang around here for nothing. I’ll take care of her, nothing will happen,” Muniang said.

Li Cheng trusted Muniang, and realizing that Qinghe indeed had no serious issues, felt it was unnecessary to stay in someone else’s house any longer. So, he nodded and left with Wanwan.

Zeng Gang looked back at the house reluctantly, aware that it was not appropriate for him to stay any longer, and said, “Then I’ll be going too.”

Muniang had thought, considering it wasn’t early, to simply have him stay overnight, but remembering the rumors in the village today, it wouldn’t look good for the two of them to stay in the same house, so she didn’t insist: “Okay then, I must thank you for today. I’ll definitely invite you over for a proper visit another day.”

Zeng Gang said embarrassedly, “No need, no need, it was just a lift of a hand.”

Muniang thought to herself that rushing back from the prefectural city and saving Qinghe and her child was not as simple as lifting a hand, but she merely smiled secretly and said no more, presenting a very serious face: “Don’t be modest. Once this trouble blows over, I will make sure to treat you properly. Qinghe will have to properly thank you as well.”

Qinghe slept through until the sky darkened before waking up. Muniang was wiping her face with a warm wet cloth and sighed in relief upon seeing her awake, “You’re finally awake. You said you were not weak, but you fainted at the slightest distress. Next time I give you tonics, you better not even think about hiding from me!”
