How could Mrs. Chu be a sullen person? She couldn't bear it and retorted: "Well, you Xue Lu, now you turn your elbows outward, and instead you join others in teaching me a lesson! What do you think I am!"
Xue Lu was very embarrassed when he saw her acting up in front of Xue Shao and Su. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are so unreasonable!"
…
Qingrong and Chu couldn't hide the fact that they had done something about it. It didn't take long before even the eldest aunt and Lu were alarmed.
After hearing the news, everyone came. Even though Mrs. Chu was so angry, she had to restrain herself now. When Ms. Su saw the visitor, she led Qingrong and Xue Shao and knelt on the ground with a plop. Among the few people, they could only kneel down.
On earth, listen to the teachings of your elders.
Without saying a word, Xue Fangji slammed the table with his palm! He asked in a deep voice: "What on earth is going on!"
Chu was about to open his mouth to defend, but he softened his tone and said, "Don't talk, let Asu do the talking."
Su Shi explained accordingly: "I want my uncle to know that there was a misunderstanding between my cousin-in-law and my younger siblings. Today my younger siblings and I came here to make peace with my cousin-in-law... Who would have thought that my cousin-in-law actually insulted Shiro, and my younger siblings were furious for a while."
However, he just started beating the cousin-in-law...The fourth brother and the eldest cousin then came to break up the fight..."
Xue Fangji glanced at Mr. Chu and asked, "What are you scolding?"
After all, he is a general who has been on the battlefield for many years. Every word and action has an awe-inspiring momentum from others. Mrs. Chu looked at Xue Fangji's not-so-good face, lowered his head, and hesitated for a while, "Daughter-in-law...Daughter-in-law is just..."
Xue Lu also knew how harshly Mr. Chu would scold him. He hurriedly leaned over to plead guilty and said: "Master, please calm down, Yueniang didn't mean it! Please forgive her this time."
Mrs. Chu didn't dare to say anything, and quickly followed the others and leaned down to apologize, "Daughter-in-law... My daughter-in-law knows she was wrong, and she won't do it next time!"
Xue's father was standing by, looking at his son and daughter-in-law kneeling aside. He frowned, but he didn't say anything to Qingrong. Instead, he pointed at Xue Shao and cursed: "This boy must have done something wrong first, otherwise how could A Chu be dissatisfied?"
! You are becoming more and more bold! You are disrespectful to your elders and disrespectful to your brother and sister-in-law! This is how I teach you on weekdays!"
Seeing that Xue's father was about to scold him, Qingrong quickly explained, "Master, this matter has nothing to do with him, it's my fault."
Mrs. Lu also did not protect Xue Shao and said, "Sanniang, please stop covering up for him. In the final analysis, it was his own fault that caused the dispute between you and your cousin-in-law."
Qingrong couldn't understand that even if Xue's father and Lu were stricter with Xue Shao and refused to protect him, they would still treat him so harshly? All his faults are his fault? Is it his fault if he is slandered and insulted?
"Master and mother-in-law, are you so indiscriminate and so sure that this is his fault?"
Xue Shao cast his eyes at her and shook his head gently, telling her not to speak for him and risk punishment.
Everyone present looked a little subtle, and no one said anything.
"Sanniang!" Mrs. Lu frowned and signaled her to stop talking.
Father Xue said seriously: "I thought you, Sanniang, are the children who know the rules best!"
Qingrong straightened her expression, and showed a different attitude from the previous meek and sensible attitude. She rarely spoke in a strong tone. She wanted to accuse her, so why bother? "Rules? What I said is right, but I think this is not the case. I want to say this.
My cousin-in-law and I were wrong about the matter, and my daughter-in-law also admitted it. But what does it have to do with Changxuan? My cousin-in-law made rude remarks, deliberately insulted me, ignored my brothers and sisters, and ignored the harmony of the family.
Speaking arrogantly, disregarding the dignity of the saint's court, is not tolerated by the country's laws. Is this what he forced his cousin to say? Is it his fault that I feel unfair for him? "
She was very articulate, and when she spoke, she was difficult to resist, especially among a group of military generals. Xue Shao turned to look at her, his eyes soft. For some reason, he felt that it felt good to be protected like this...
What's more, this person is Qingrong, which makes him feel better.
At this time, Xue's father's face looked ugly, and Su persuaded her in a low voice: "Sanniang, don't say any more!"
Qingrong was calm. She said unfairly: "My daughter-in-law really doesn't know where he went wrong? Could it be that he wants to incriminate him, so why bother?"
"enough!"
Xue Fangji glanced at Qingrong with some surprise, stopped Xue's father and said, "Okay, I think what Sanniang said is reasonable. It was Shiro who was wronged in this matter, so you and your wife still want to blame him. Does this make sense?"
He looked at Mrs. Chu and said in a deep voice: "As a clan wife, how can you act like this! There are no clan rules! Go back to your room and think about the past behind closed doors!"
Ms. Chu wanted to beg for mercy again, but her husband stopped her.
Qingrong bent down and knelt down to salute, and then said to Father Xue and Mrs. Lu, neither humble nor overbearing: "My daughter-in-law took action first and made a mistake. She doesn't want to quibble and is willing to be punished. She just doesn't want to implicate the innocent."
"Innocent? Do you know that you just disrespected your elders?" Father Xue saw that Qing Rong was willing to admit his mistake and did not intend to embarrass him, so he snorted coldly, "He started beating people, and he had no respect for his elders. He went to the ancestral hall and knelt down for a while.
