Over the past few years, Mrs. Li had honed her skills and was no longer as thin-skinned, regaining her smiling face and chatting with relatives and the ladies present.
Mrs. Mo had not spoken during their quarrel, not because she thought ill of the Ye family’s character or agreed with the others.
She knew that Mrs. Li was not as passive as she seed, and her daughters were not as easily bullied as they appeared on the surface.
Besides, where was this place? It was soone else’s estate. If people ca to make trouble, wouldn’t they inevitably be driven out?
Mrs. Mo had known the Ye family for several years and understood why they disagreed with the proposal for their daughter from soone during New Year, soone who also harbored the intention to take advantage of her student.
She had also enquired about the character of the suitor. Although he was not too bad, the man had no real skills.
He neither excelled at his studies nor relied on anything but the little inheritance he splurged from his family, thinking too highly of himself.
Their behavior was even worse than that of a family newly wealthy from hard work, whom she admired for their diligence.
Mrs. Mo was even more convinced that a daughter of the Ye family becoming her sister-in-law was a good idea, although she did not know whether her silly little brother preferred the elder daughter or the second.
That would have to wait until she asked her younger brother clearly, Mrs. Mo thought, believing that any of the Ye daughters would be good, being students she had taught and knew through and through.
To others, they might just seem like rural rich n, less progressive than the wealthy families they knew, but who could tell how things would turn out in the future?
Upon hearing the disturbance, Zhong Xingwang felt embarrassed to burst in directly, so he found soone close to his elder sister to ask what was happening.
Furious to hear that his guests had been bullied, he longed to beat soone up, hence he sent his guards to escort the n and won who had been driven from the estate gates.
The people still causing a ruckus at the gate were found, beaten up, and then thrown onto the road outside.
Big Pancake Face No.1 and his family had not expected that their attempt to socialize would result in them being ousted and beaten.
Ye Zhengxiong was the most infuriated, for he was enjoying his ti with friends when he was abruptly pulled away and then encountered his mother and sisters.
Only afterward did he learn that they had been making fools of themselves, continuously doing such foolish things over the years.
If they weren’t family, and if he didn’t need his parents to give him money at the mont, he wouldn’t want to deal with them.
Then, to his misfortune, he got innocently beaten because his mother and sisters had offended soone and had sohow implicated him, an utterly wrongful beating.
Tang Shunyan and his young friends, learning about the incident on the won’s side, believed they were still young enough to enter the scene.
"Mother, what is going on here?"
Lady Tang wore an innocent smile, pulling her younger son over and then winked at her elder son,
"That woman wants her daughter to marry one of your cousins and asked to be the matchmaker. All I did was speak the truth—Indeed, their daughters are not as good as Mrs. Li’s five girls. I was right, wasn’t I?"
Tang Shunyan rolled his eyes at his mother. Such feuds between the two families often erupted into argunts, and naturally, the instigators were those people, with his mother’s words being the fuse to light the firecrackers.
Tang Shunyan actually despised such a mother, not only for being petty but also for consistently holding him back.
She knew very well he was friends with the Ye family, and when people ca over, she didn’t treat them well but instead helped stir up trouble.
Li Zhijun, realizing that his relatives, the people he had invited, were being bullied, felt that he had not arranged things well and summoned more attendants to this area.
If the other guests needed services, then their own attendants could serve them well.
As a result, Li Zhijun escorted his female relatives to another room. Regardless of who the Madams were chatting with, if they wanted to talk to their own relatives, they would be sent for.
Lady Tang was displeased with Li Zhijun’s move, but under the gaze of her son, she dared not say much.
Quite naturally, the County Magistrate’s Wife ca with her daughter to the room where the Ye family and their relatives were. She did not care to associate with the backbiting won.
Mrs. Mo thought it the perfect opportunity to have a good chat with Mrs. Li, with fewer people around and more freedom to talk.
Mrs. Mo had already seen her little brother, who had taken a liking to Ye Luoqi.
While chatting with Mrs. Li, Mrs. Mo subtly asked if her daughter was still unmarried, as soone had taken an interest in her and wanted to know if she would agree to let her daughter marry soone from so far as the Capital.
Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter, who appeared shy. Actually desiring her daughter to stay close by, as long as her child was happy, all she could do as a mother was to bless her.
