Chapter 132: Who Is Who

  The third sister-in-law of the Feng manor stood at the gate of the wing room, looking out with her feet on tiptoes, but was pulled back in by the fifth sister-in-law.

  "This is no time for you to interfere!" But he couldn't help sneaking a glance towards the courtyard.

  That Li surname's concubine mother, Shen Muqing, was like a madwoman, sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, slapping her own legs while cursing: "You stinky shameless thing, don't you dare look in the mirror to see what kind of goods you are? Don't think that just because you've crawled into a man's bed, lying there and humming is all it takes..."

  The more they talked, the filthier it got. The maids standing under the eaves all had red faces and ears, but since their masters didn't say anything, they could only pretend not to have heard.

  Third Aunt covered her mouth and laughed: "Can't see it, this Li mom still has this skill! Scolded the Liang family, no one dares to come out."

  Wu's sister-in-law glared at her: "Can't you scold me and scold him!"

  Third Sister-in-law retorted, "This isn't my fault. She can scold all she wants. The more vicious her scolding, the more relieved I feel. Let's see what face our family's old lady has left to instruct her daughter-in-law - this Fifth Girl of ours was personally taught by her since childhood!"

  Just as they were talking, Dong's mother came in quickly with two stout women.

  She grabbed Li's mother's arm and said sternly, "Get up quickly! What kind of example are you setting? Don't think that just because you're the concubine of Third Master, we don't dare to discipline you! I'm telling you, since you followed Third Master to the Liang family, you've become a member of the Liang family..."

  Dong's mother had just started speaking when Li's mother suddenly wailed: "Oh no! My good wife, where is my son in heaven?"

  Dong's mother frowned as she listened and gave a sideways glance at the two women behind her.

  Two old women immediately came forward, one on the left and one on the right, lifted up Li's mother, and dragged her out.

  "It's all over! It's all over!" Li Mama shouted towards the sky, "The Dingyuan Marquis Manor has committed an act of disloyalty and injustice, now they want to silence us... The Dingyuan Marquis Manor wants to silence us..."

  Dong's mother's face changed greatly, and she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to stuff into Li's mother's mouth.

  Mrs. Li struggled, and then saw Ying Fen leading a group of maids holding **hammers**, rushing in, pointing at Dong Mama who was helping Mrs. Li with her handkerchief: "Hit me! Hit me hard! Dare to bully our Shen family when no one is around... If you kill me, I'll take the blame. Just hit me hard..."

  Dong's mother was startled, her hand paused, and the group of maids had already rushed over, raising a ruckus as they beat each other up. Even those standing under the eaves couldn't escape, and the courtyard instantly became chaotic. The sound of flower pots being smashed and the cries of "Ah! Oh no!" echoed on without end.

  The family members in the east wing all crowded at the windows and doors to watch the excitement.

  "To be honest, I've never seen anything like this before..." Someone clicked their tongue in surprise, "The Shen family is supposed to be a family of scholars, how did they end up with someone like that?"

  Some people also say: "I've long heard that Mrs. Shen is a formidable one - what kind of mother-in-law there is, what kind of son there is!"

  "It's really laughable to say that the Liang family, also a prominent family, was actually beaten by the Shen family... Others are scholars who can't reason with soldiers, but now it's the other way around - the soldiers have met their match in the scholar. It's truly ridiculous!"

  Everyone spoke with a tone of schadenfreude.

  ******

  In the main room, Old Lady slapped her palm on the kang table, and the tea cups on the kang table made a "ding-dong" trembling sound.

  "Preposterous! Preposterous!" Her eyebrows were stern, "I've lived for so many years and have never heard of a daughter-in-law hitting her mother-in-law..."

  Before her voice had fallen, a shrill scream came from outside - it was Dong's mother.

  Feng was startled and pulled at Tai Furen's sleeve: "How can this be? How can this be?"

  The old lady's face turned iron-green with rage, and she slapped Feng Shi: "What is good? Isn't it all caused by you?"

  Mrs. Feng was humiliated in front of her sister-in-law, daughter-in-law and nephews, covering her face and lowering her head, with a blush on her face, but she didn't dare to speak out. The people present saw Mrs. Feng being beaten and also lowered their heads, pretending not to have seen anything.

  For a moment, the house was quiet, and the crying and shouting outside, as well as the sound of things being smashed, seemed even more jarring.

  "Grandma!" Wang Wenxi called out softly to Old Madam, her tone somewhat hesitant.

  Old Lady Feng still had some lingering anger towards Madame Yu, and she said irritably: "What's the time now? You're still mumbling - if you have something to say, just say it!"

  Wang Wenxiu glanced at Jiang Shuangrui and said in a low voice, "Since this matter involves San Di, I think it's better to let San Di handle it... People need face, trees need skin! You should also give her a way out!"

  Jiang Shuangrui was somewhat absent-minded and ignored Wang Wenxian's gaze, and the old lady couldn't help but lower her head in contemplation upon hearing this.

  Yes! The kind of cause will produce the same kind of effect. Liang Jiemin has done such an immoral and unjust thing, now only Shen Muqing can help him cover it up... The people don't report it, the officials don't investigate it. As long as the Shen family doesn't pursue it, this matter will be easy to handle...

  She raised her head and glanced at Feng Wanqing, who was kneeling stiffly in the corner of the wall, and said to Feng's mother in a low voice: "You go cook a bowl of plain porridge for Miss Feng and add some tuckahoe powder!"

  Tian Hua Fen is a good medicine for unblocking meridians, but it's contraindicated for people with excessive fire...

  Feng's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Tai Fu Ren.

  "Can't you just stay?"

  Her voice is not loud, but a careful listener can hear it clearly.

  "No, no, no!" Feng Wanqing's pale and somewhat transparent face was full of horror, "Madam, I really didn't do such a shameful thing..."

  "Shut up!" The madam's gaze was as cold as frost, "How dare you spout nonsense in front of me! You didn't do such a shameful thing, one doctor, two doctors all said you have a joyful pulse?"

  Feng Wanqing burst into tears and crawled to the front of Tai Furen's bed, hugging her knees: "Tai Furen, if you don't believe me, find another doctor, find another doctor..."

  The old lady lifted her foot and kicked it into her mouth: "First, I don't know what kind of person you are, can't you wrong me? Second, is the Xu gentleman from the Tai Hospital, your own relative, can't you wrong him too? Do you want me to go to the palace to find a aunt for you or go to the government office to find a midwife to take a look at you?"

  Feng Wanqing's face was as pale as dead ashes, her mouth slightly ajar, and she remained silent for a long time.

  The old lady coldly snorted and loudly scolded Feng, who was standing beside her without making a sound: "What? Do you have something to say to me too?"

  Feng's face, already pale, turned even whiter. She hesitated, then nodded her head slightly and replied softly, "Yes."

  This soft "yes" was like a heavy hammer that hit Feng Wanqing's mouth, and she fainted immediately.

  The old lady didn't even glance at her, letting her lie on the cold ground, and turned to ask Jiang Shuangrui: "How is Mu Qing now?"

  When the doctor said those words "Congratulations, madam, it's a happy pulse", the room fell silent.

  At this time, no one knew what to say.

  Either offend the Feng family or offend the Liang family.

  Only Shen Muqing, her face pale, pitifully pulled at the sleeve of the madam: "This isn't true! This isn't true! Sir wouldn't do such a thing... The madam hasn't even had her one-year anniversary yet... Call the people from the hospital to come and take a look, is it a mistake..."

  The old lady saw her in a fluster and the people in the house were all peeking out, so she said: "Don't worry. Wan Qing is someone I've watched grow up since childhood, not some child who doesn't know what's important or not. And this doctor, who knows where he came from, and how good his medical skills are..."

  "Right, right, right!" Shen Muqing was overjoyed, as if she had grasped a lifesaver. "This doctor must have made a mistake... Call another doctor." She loudly called out to her personal maid, Yingfen, "Quickly, go to the Tai Hospital and invite Doctor Liu, who usually examines Madame's illness, to come..."

  The old lady was taken aback.

  She said this in order to salvage some reputation by covering her ears and stealing the bell, rather than truly wanting to invite a doctor...

  Just as she was stunned, Feng Wanqing rushed over after hearing the news and insisted on inviting a doctor. She also said: "This doctor doesn't know the inside story at all, how can his words be counted? ... Invite Xu Daren from Ta Hospital, who is impartial and unprejudiced... Invite Xu Daren to come and clear my name!"

  The two were arguing, and Liang **Hui, who had been standing silently beside them, suddenly shouted and rushed out.

  Everyone was wondering what she wanted, when suddenly the maids in the main house shouted in unison: "Quickly let go, quickly let go... Second Miss, if you continue like this, you'll strangle the doctor to death..."

  At this point, Madame Feng could no longer stand it and hastily ran out.

  In the hall, her low pleading voice came through: "**Hui, listen, let go quickly... or there will be a murder case..."

  "He's lying...... He's lying......" Liang **Hui** sobbed, "Fifth sister-in-law is not pregnant with my third brother's child...... He's lying......"

  Originally, Feng Wanqing's affair could have been pushed onto the Liang family or found someone familiar with the Liang family to take the fall.

  The old lady was getting a headache.

  Under the inquiring and suspicious eyes of everyone, she could only minimize the damage.

  "...Something like this has happened, it's not good to keep everyone here...I will arrange for cars and sedan chairs to send everyone back." The old lady ordered Wang Wenxi to accompany the guests, "Now please ask everyone to temporarily go to the east wing to have a cup of tea..."

  Everyone went to the east wing in different directions, and Mr. Xu arrived.

  In Feng Wanqing's eager anticipation, Xu Daren also came out with "a joyful pulse".

  Feng Wanqing heard this and rushed at Xu Daifu with a ferocious face: "Who paid you... to harm me like this..."

  Director Xu's head was tilted to one side, but his face still had several bloody scratches on it.

  On the other side, Jiang Shuangrui was frantically shouting Shen Muqing's name - it turned out that Shen Muqing had fainted.

  In this case, the old lady had no choice but to order Jiang Shuangrui to send Shen Mucheng back to Diecuiyuan, and took the opportunity to find an excuse that "Third Young Master needs someone to take care of" to bring Liang Huai, who was also in a state of grief, back to Diecuiyuan.

  Just as I caught my breath, Mrs. Li came over and started scolding me...

  Haha ~ fighting, fighting...... Don't know when the next update will be, so please check back tomorrow morning, sisters!
