Chapter 1484 - 303, Scramble for Seats (20)
As soon as he thought of the glutton Xu Muqing in the yard, Xia Zheng couldn’t linger on the advantages he had just gained from Lin Yuan and quickly followed her downstairs.
Lin Yuan had only been gone a short while, but the backyard had already split into two large camps: one consisted of Yan Ruchun and Xu Muqing, which made up the Women’s Brigade, and the other was formed by the brothers Wei Boyu and Wei Borong, the Men’s Alliance.
The two teams faced each other with hostility, glowering at each other, and the air was tinged with the pungent smell of gunpowder. All the little maids and young lads wisely hid in the corners, peeking their heads out to watch what was unfolding here.
Smelling the scent of battle in the backyard, Xia Zheng, who had just come downstairs, thought he was back on the border fighting against Xiliang.
He bared his teeth in discontent and looked at the high table that both sides were fighting over, rendered speechless.
It’s just a table, is it worth drawing swords over?
Lin Yuan was speechless as well and facepalmed. It’s just two tables, why is there such a big fuss?
She rushed to mediate. Xu Muqing and Wei Borong were easy to deal with since they were dragged into it for no reason. The real "combatants" were Yan Ruchun and Wei Boyu.
Neither would give in to the other, both insisting on taking the tall-legged table. Even when Lin Yuan suggested having the lads bring another high table, it was no use.
"Lin Yuan, are you even a woman? If you are, stand behind me; today, this high table must be used by us women! It’s about the dignity and status of women!"
Yan Ruchun was indignantly righteous, which made Lin Yuan’s lips twitch uncontrollably. She finally understood how the usually aggrieved Xu Muqing was pulled into Yan Ruchun’s camp – apparently, not doing so meant you weren’t a woman!
