Chapter 1098: Exposing Her True Colors
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Madam Yang was a shrew in the countryside. No one in the village dared to provoke her.
If someone really fought with her, she would be the one suppressing them. She never dreamed that she would be pressed to the ground and slapped and beaten on the head.
“You crazy woman! Where did you come from? Aiyo! Aiyo!”
If she said one sentence, she would be beaten up three times.
Madam Yang was beaten until she could not fight back.
In terms of figure, Madam Yang was much thicker than Cheng Sang.
After all, she worked in agriculture all year round, unlike Cheng Sang, who had lived a pampered life and had been crazy and thin for so many years.
But for a mother who had lost her daughter, nothing could stop her anger. Even if she had to risk her life, she had to teach Madam Yang a lesson!
“Crazy woman! Crazy woman!”
Clap!
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The louder Madam Yang shouted, the louder Cheng Sang’s slap became. In the end, Madam Yang was beaten up.
Logically speaking, if there was a fight in the shop, the shopkeeper and the shop assistants should have stopped it.
But who could withstand the generosity of this God of Fortune?
It was obvious that he was someone they could not afford to offend!
Madam Huang looked at the gold on the ground. Her heart should have ached for her mother-in-law, but she actually thought rebelliously—how good would it be if the gold was thrown at there…
Wouldn’t she be rich if she casually took a few?
It had to be said that the Chen family was actually not well off.
After their son passed the imperial examination, a local squire generously gave them a large sum of money to let their son enter the capital to take the examination.
They had actually squandered most of the money.
They were here today to choose a gift for their future daughter-in-law.
Although the princess had said that there was no need for the Chen family to prepare a betrothal gift, since she had taken a fancy to Chen Haoyuan, when going through the rites, they had to give her customary jewelry.
Madam Huang swallowed.
The commotion was too great, attracting many commoners who stopped to watch.
At this moment, someone recognized Madam Yang.
“Eh? Isn’t that Lord Chen’s grandmother?”
“It’s her. I saw her and Princess Lin wandering the lake last time.” “Why did she fight with someone? Who’s that Madam?”
Hearing this, Madam Yang finally came back to her senses.
She shouted, “What are you waiting for? Do you want to see me beaten to death!”
These words were clearly directed at Madam Huang.
Madam Huang came back to her senses and rushed over to pull the two of them away.
Cheng Sang flipped her hand and knocked Madam Huang to the ground.
“Ouch..
Madam Huang’s head exploded from the pain!
“You’re useless!”
Madam Yang scolded her.
It was already tragic enough that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could not defeat one. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝔀𝓮𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝓵.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Zongzheng Wei had been paying attention to Cheng Sang’s situation.
Cheng Sang was a little tired and panted a few times.
Madam Huang covered the bump on her head and sat on the ground, pointing at Cheng Sang angrily. “Where did this crazy woman come from? How did we provoke you? Is there no law in broad daylight? And are the people in your shop blind? Hurry up and catch her!”
The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper looked at each other.
They wanted to move.
However, when Zongzheng Wei gave them a cold look, everyone felt their scalps go numb.
Cheng Sang took a few steps forward coldly and looked down at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with the jade scepter. “Are you two animals worthy of mentioning the law? If there was really the law, I would have sent you to prison long ago and let you eat prison food for the rest of your lives!”
Madam Huang scolded angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Cheng Sang looked at the two of them murderously. “Have you forgotten all the wicked things you’ve done?”
Madam Huang gritted her teeth and said, “We’re just ordinary commoners. What wicked things have we done! You… are you from some examinee’s family? Are you jealous that my son was ranked? My son was poisoned at the inn last time and almost lost half his life. You were the ones who did it, right!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the situation immediately changed.
Chen Haoyuan was born a bumpkin, but he suppressed the disciples of the various noble families and became a scholar of the Emperor.
Behind his back, many people were jealous of him and made things difficult for him.
It was because of Prince Rong’s favor that gradually no one dared to have designs on him.
“How shameless are you to be worthy of my grandmother poisoning your son?” Su Xiaoxiao’s casual voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.
Madam Huang and Madam Yang frowned and turned their heads in unison.
The crowd spontaneously made way.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t even look at the two of them. She walked to Cheng Sang’s side and took the heavy jade scepter from her hand. “Grandmother, give it to me. It’s heavy.”
At this moment, only Su Xiaoxiao could convince Cheng Sang to let go.
Su Xiaoxiao placed the jade scepter on the counter.
“Fatty Su?” Madam Huang said in surprise.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “Aunt still remembers me.”
Madam Yang looked at Cheng Sang and asked Su Xiaoxiao, “Who did you call Grandmother just now?”
Su Xiaoxiao held Cheng Sang’s arm affectionately. “Of course, I’m addressing my biological grandmother. Do I have to call you that? Just based on the Chen family’s abuse of my mother for so many years, are you worthy of me calling addressing you as my grandmother?”
Everyone suddenly perked up, as if they had heard something extraordinary.
Madam Yang and Madam Huang looked at Cheng Sang.
Was this rich Madam Little Chen’s biological mother?
Was that wretched girl really a child who had gone missing from a big family?
Was she not abandoned?’
Had Fatty Su already discovered everything and gotten reunited with her biological grandmother?
Madam Huang thought for a moment. “Fatty Su! Do you have a conscience? Back then, your mother was abandoned by the roadside. It was my mother-in-law who kindly carried her back and raised her like a treasure for so many years. She didn’t have anything for her biological child to eat but refused to let your mother starve. How can you sow discord between your mother’s adoptive mother and her biological mother?”
Madam Yang quickly said to Cheng Sang, “Yes, I’ve always treated her better than my biological daughter. Did you misunderstand something?”
The wretched girl’s mother was so rich. No matter what, she had to make her spit out some gold!
Cheng Sang looked at the two of them mockingly. “I knew you would say that.
If I hadn’t gone to Qingzhou and asked the villagers in the village about Weiwei’s grave, I would have believed your nonsense.”
Their expressions changed.
Had she even been to the countryside?
Cheng Sang said coldly, “My Weiwei started cutting pig grass at the age of four. At the age of six, she went to the river to wash your entire family’s clothes. At the age of seven, she cooked and planted seedlings in the ground. She had never eaten a meal at the main table… To obtain money for your grandson, you sold my Weiwei to a scoundrel… Even after Weiwei died, you were still sucking her blood! My son-in-law paid for your grandson’s studies! Your family is simply worse than pigs and dogs!” “You… you… you’re talking nonsense! You’re… you’re…”
Madam Yang choked incoherently.
“Fatty Su! Did you teach your grandmother to say that? You girl! Why are you slandering us?” Madam Huang slandered Su Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, another young man’s voice sounded from behind the crowd.
“Her grandfather is Qin Canglan, the general of the world’s army. Her granduncle is Su Shuo, the Marquis of the Northern Battlefront of the Great
Zhou. Her biological father is the Protector Duke, her father-in-law is Wei Xu, Great Zhou’s God of War, Wei Xu, and her husband is General Wei Ting, the top scholar. She’s the miracle physician who saved the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. How much of a big shot are you for her to deign herself to frame you?”
“Ah, it’s Scholar Shen!” “Champion Shen!”
“Champion Shen!”
The crowd erupted.
The moment they saw Shen Chuan, the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law changed.
Shen Chuan said, “Everyone, Chen Haoyuan and I are from the same hometown. He once studied in my family’s academy, and I know his family’s matters like the back of my hand. In the name of the top scholar, I solemnly declare that nothing this Madam says is fake. As for Chen Haoyuan, he’s a refined scum!”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The top scholar had torn into the scholar!
