Chapter 1408 - 1411: Want to Leave?_1
"Listen to this, how full of herself this niece of hers is, spouting such unsavory words—just a widow. How blind must my younger brother have been to send her gifts?" Yang Chuxia just chuckled. Did they really think all these ladies were that foolish?
Did they actually believe others would trust her on just a few words?
She understood the aunt and niece’s motive today, wasn’t it what her second aunt had said? If the Yang Family disagreed, they would make a scene for everyone to know, preventing Qingrui from getting a wife as well.
Truly foolish, to think everyone was as foolish as she was? Willing to make herself the scapegoat for her niece?
Sure enough, as soon as the crowd heard Yang Chuxia’s explanation, they understood everything. Let alone their affluent families, even common small households wouldn’t allow their sons to marry a widow.
"Madam Ye, I get it now, she’s just like chewing gum," the wife of the Zhang Family said. "Chewed gum should be thrown away early; otherwise, it’s just disgusting to look at."
"Exactly, I say Madam Yang, you really have a big heart, letting your son be schemed against in such a way, and you still come to the Ye Family together with them?"
Ms. Wang said with great embarrassment, "Today is a good day for my grandson, it’s not good to cause a fuss."
If it hadn’t been for the sake of the two children, how could she possibly have let others follow her here?
"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about it anymore, this is the Ye Family’s domestic affair, let Madam Ye handle it herself." Commandery Princess Dongyang, seeing that it was about time, spoke up on behalf of Yang Chuxia to the crowd, "Let’s go outside, soon the midwife will bring the child out, and after we see the baby, we can go have a good meal up front. I’ve heard that the chef the Ye Family hired today is from the Capital City."
"Yes, yes, let’s go out. Madam Ye, you rest up, and we’ll come back later to talk with you."
"Good, Dongyang, please look after them for me."
"All right, you just lie down and rest."
As they were speaking, the group was about to leave, but Ms.Qian of the Wang Family felt very discontented that no one took her words to heart, especially the comments about her niece, which infuriated her.
She wanted to follow the crowd out and have a serious talk with everyone.
Qian Xiaoqing naturally wanted to leave as well, but as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Mingcui and Sister-in-law Li.
"Thinking of leaving?" Yang Chuxia snorted coldly. "You’ve come all this way, just leaving like this, wouldn’t that be a bit inappropriate?"
"Who said we wanted to leave? We just want to go out and take a look. I’ve come for the baby’s baptism; as an aunt, I naturally have to go out," Ms.Qian of the Wang Family said, not noticing anything amiss.
"Don’t use the child’s event as an excuse," Yang Chuxia said with a chuckle. "Tie them both up for me."
"Yes!"
With that said, Mingcui and Sister-in-law Li stepped forward with others to carry out the order.
"What are you doing, what are you trying to do?" Qian Xiaoqing sensed something was wrong and began to yell immediately, causing everyone outside to hear and turn back for a look.
Commandery Princess Dongyang then said with a smile, "What are you all looking at? Move quickly; it’s almost time."
Everyone had some guess about Dongyang’s identity. Although they didn’t know which family she was from specifically, the more concealed one’s identity was, the nobler they were. Thus, they all heeded her words.
"Tie them up, and be quick about it—gag them," Yang Chuxia commanded.
Soon both Qian Xiaoqing and Ms.Qian of the Wang Family were bound tightly, their mouths gagged as well.
"Ms.Qian of the Wang Family, have you gone senile? Following your niece’s foolish antics day in and day out?" Yang Chuxia spoke as she got up from the bed, wrapped in a long coat, and stood in front of Ms.Qian of the Wang Family, gazing at her intently,
