Chapter 1417 - 1420 They are all liars_1
"You lame creature, where have you locked up Xiaoqing?" In the mind of Ms. Qian of Wang Family, Ye Zi’an was still the same little cripple he had been years ago, and her disdain for him had not changed over the years.
However, she didn’t know that the term "cripple" was, and always would be, a taboo for Yang Chuxia, no matter if it was then or now.
"Whom did you just call a cripple?" Yang Chuxia suddenly appeared, startling everyone in the room.
"My lady, why have you come out? Mother said you aren’t to go outside and catch the wind." Ye Zi’an shouted at Mingcui, "How are you serving her? Don’t you know to stop the mistress? It seems you don’t want to stay with the Ye Family anymore, do you?"
Ye Zi’an, who rarely lost his temper, began to yell suddenly, frightening Mingcui so much that her legs gave out, and she immediately knelt down, her face pale.
"Enough, get up." Yang Chuxia hurried to intercede, "Why blame her? If I wanted to come, could she have stopped me?"
While speaking, Yang Chuxia’s eyes were fixed on Ms. Qian of Wang Family.
"What did you say just now, Second Aunt-in-law? Say it again if you dare!"
"You..." Ms. Qian of Wang Family, who had been so arrogant moments before, lost her bluster upon seeing Yang Chuxia.
"Someone, go and report this to the authorities. The audacity to insult a court-appointed official. This matter must be handled by the government."
"Ah, Xiaxia, stop, you mustn’t report this, absolutely not." As soon as Wang Yongshan saw that Yang Chuxia was serious, he hurried to stop her while scolding Ms. Qian of Wang Family, "It’s all your fault, how can you speak like that? If you can’t speak properly, then shut your mouth. You always cause trouble."
"No way!" Yang Chuxia looked at Ms. Qian of Wang Family, "I see the Second Aunt-in-law is used to scolding people. Since you love to scold and cause such a commotion, you might as well stir trouble in the prison cell."
Seeing Yang Chuxia’s steadfast attitude, Wang Yongshan turned and delivered two slaps to Ms. Qian of Wang Family, "You fool, now, apologize to your nephew-in-law!"
Ms. Qian of Wang Family was so stunned by the slaps she could hardly believe what was happening. In truth, Wang Yongshan didn’t want to hit her, but if he didn’t, considering his niece’s temperament, today’s incident would not end well.
"Aren’t you going to apologize?" Seeing that she remained silent, Wang Yongshan slapped her again.
Unable to withstand Wang Yongshan’s intimidating glare and the hand he had raised, she hurriedly said, "I apologize; I spoke out of turn."
"From now on, Second Aunt-in-law, think carefully before you speak, or else, we may have to invite you to take a walk to the prison."
"Xiaxia, I will definitely discipline your Second Aunt-in-law properly. Rest assured, she will never bother you at your home again."
Having said that, Wang Yongshan took Ms. Qian of Wang Family away, without further inquiring about Qian Xiaoqing’s situation.
Although Ms. Qian of Wang Family wanted to ask, she swallowed her words in the face of Wang Yongshan’s menacing look, that could almost devour someone.
Meanwhile, Qian Xiaoqing, who remained in Yang Chuxia’s house, was like a headless fly, aimlessly pacing around the room. Unfortunately, no matter whether it was the windows or the door, all were tightly locked.
"Why didn’t my uncle let her set me free?" She and her aunt had been locked up together since yesterday, only to be separated this morning. Her aunt had said that her uncle would surely come today, and that he would plead on her behalf to get her released. But why hadn’t he shown up yet?
"What aunt and uncle; not one of them is any good, they are all liars."
"Let me out, let me out!"
Qian Xiaoqing kept knocking on the door relentlessly, but no one paid any attention to her.
Yang Chuxia flatly said that if she continued to make a fuss, they would gag her mouth until mealtime when they would free her to eat.

"Xiaxia, Qingrui and Qingtong are back." The next day, after noon, Ye Zi’an returned from outside, followed by Yang Qingrui and Yang Qingtong.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia immediately dressed and went to the outer room.
