As soon as Duan Sitong left, Mrs. Wang knew that the old lady didn't like to chat very much, and was afraid that the old lady would be bored in the house, so she ordered the girl singing in the building to relieve the old lady's boredom.
The girl who sang the song came from the south. When she saw the two female guests, she bowed dignifiedly. The girl who was waiting next to her thoughtfully took out the songs that the girl could sing and showed them to the guests in the room.
Qiao Lan couldn't see any reason for the row of fancy song titles, so she let the girl sing some of her favorite songs at will.
The girl who sang the song had a clear and beautiful voice and a gentle intonation. She sang very well. Unfortunately, she sang in the Nong dialect of the south, which made it difficult for people to understand the meaning of the song.
To Qiao Lan, who lacks the ability to appreciate, it feels like the Buddhist scriptures have more tunes and the hypnotic effect is not as strong...
It's always good to hear young people singing.
After hearing the third piece of this song, a flurry of footsteps moved from far to near, and the door of the box was opened directly.
Mrs. Wang frowned and was about to scold her, but she saw that the nanny who was running over in a hurry was following her daughter.
"Old madam, madam, something serious has happened! The eldest lady...the eldest lady is on the street...making a fight with someone!" The grandma gasped and held on to the wooden door.
The music in the room suddenly stopped, and Ms. Wang stood up in a hurry.
Qiao Lan spoke before Wang: "How many people are there on the other side?"
Mrs. Wang stood up nervously from her stool while holding her handkerchief, her breathing stopped.
The old grandma swallowed and continued to breathe heavily, "...one..."
Just one!
Qiao Lan immediately felt relieved.
Her granddaughter has learned boxing and kicking for several years. Among the maids and ladies she chose for her granddaughter, many were good at boxing and kicking, and even worse, there were some who were maids and ladies.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was not as nervous as before, but she was still worried. She immediately took her maid and mother-in-law to go down to have a look, and Qiao Lan naturally followed.
Arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. When the mother-in-law who came to deliver the message hurried over with Mrs. Qiao Lan and Wang, the sound of an argument was heard in front of them.
"...You little girl is so unreasonable, I want to teach you a lesson..." The man's fierce voice sounded.
The lantern festival was very crowded, and Mrs. Wang tried her best to squeeze in the direction of her daughter. Listening to her mother-in-law's words that she was about to arrive and the man's voice coming from far away, she felt anxious for a moment.
Regardless of the noble lady's appearance outside, she pushed aside the passers-by and walked forward. The mother-in-law who was guarding Wang's side tried her best to protect her master and squeeze in.
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.
When Ms. Wang was so anxious, she squeezed through the crowd and rushed to the front. What she saw was Duan Sitong kicking the strong man down with his sweeping legs.
Wang took a breath and was stunned for a moment!
I don’t know whether I should be worried about the person lying on the ground or my daughter!
Qiao Lan came a step too late and felt a little regretful when she saw her eldest granddaughter and the others were safe and sound, as well as a woman and a man lying on the ground in front of her granddaughter.
If she had known this, she would not have listened to the music and followed it along! Otherwise, she would not have missed so much!
The passers-by who were watching were talking a lot!
Qiao Lan's sharp eyes saw the hand of a child holding Feiyan's side!
He took a few steps forward and asked, "Tong'er, what's going on?"
Duan Sitong turned around in surprise when he heard Qiao Lan's voice, "Grandma!" However, when he saw the heartbroken Wang next to him, his voice softened significantly, "Mother..."
The man who was lying on the ground and shouting saw that Qiao Lan and others were not paying attention here, so he wanted to sneak out while it was dark.
After watching the play, Qiao Lan felt regretful: "Leave these two people here."
Several strong nuns who were following Qiao Lan immediately stepped forward and arrested the strong man and the old woman.
The man immediately shouted: "Let me go, why are you arresting me! You not only robbed my child, but also beat me. You are really a bully and a bandit!"
The nanny who was following Qiao Lan immediately showed her sign, "We are from the residence of Empress Huitian, and my master is a third-grade empress personally consecrated by His Majesty! This man hurt the young lady in our residence..."
It seems like the old grandma is used to doing these things.
Hearing that he was a high-ranking official, some of the onlookers had a look of fear on their faces, and some even started fighting in the street.
"This female monarch can hurt people in the street while staying at home?"
"Under the emperor's feet, there are powerful people oppressing the people in the streets!"
After hearing this, the man said a few words: "That's right, that's right! You can't just beat people just because you are a high official!"
The grandma didn't seem to have expected such a situation, and she had a look of embarrassment on her face.
Duan Sitong immediately turned around, unbuttoned the sleeves of the child standing next to Feiyan, revealing the silk hidden in the ragged clothes, and then hugged the child forward, "Everyone, listen to my explanation! I didn't mean to hurt anyone! It was I who discovered that the child the old woman was holding was not her own!"
"My sister saw the old woman squeezing the child from a distance to stop him from crying! I took a few glances and saw that the child was very beautiful, unlike what an ordinary family could raise. When I got closer, it became even more... When I noticed the silk exposed on his sleeves and the scent of incense on his body, I suspected that this old woman had stolen the child from somewhere else! I wanted to stop her and ask, but she started shouting in the street..."
"She saw me and my sister here, and called a man to bully me, so I took action! If you don't believe it, you can go to the yamen with me to report to the officials to see if the child is theirs! If it is true I will definitely come to their home to confess!" Duan Sitong said unhurriedly.
After listening to Duan Sitong's explanation, he looked at the brocade clothes the child was wearing under his tattered clothes and the attire of the two people who were captured.
The two of them were dressed in old coarse clothes, and from head to toe they couldn't afford the silk and satin for their children. Even if you want to find a reason why the elders are pampering their children and grandchildren, you have to look at the family's wealth!
"He's actually a kidnapper! This is such a heartless thing!"
"Little girl, I misunderstood you earlier. I will apologize to you! If you are really a kidnapper, you are doing harm to the people!"
The praises around him surged like a tide. Duan Sitong had never been praised by so many people in public, and his expression was a little awkward for a moment.
"It's just a little effort..."
After a while, the Duan family's servants invited the police patrolmen from the street. Seeing the policemen coming, everyone no longer had any doubts about the matter, and the wall of people slowly receded like the tide.
As my own grandmother, Qiao Lan, who has been educating her grandchildren for a while, seeing her outstanding educational achievements——
Granddaughter bravely fights one against two
Qiao Lan was very happy.
Only the Wang family looked gloomy and gloomy.
Qiao Lan glanced at the frowning eldest daughter-in-law beside her, and said with relief: "This is a good thing, be happy."
Qiao Lan understands Wang's worries. They are nothing more than two points. First, she feels that her daughter, who was raised as a noble girl, can subdue a big man in the street. She cannot get over the gap in her heart, and it is difficult to accept it for a while.
This is just because they are worried about Duan Sitong's reputation. Everyone here knows that they are from Nujun's house, and there are only a few young ladies in Nujun's house. The granddaughter is already "older", and women in the capital regard quietness as their beauty.
I'm afraid it will be more difficult to find someone to live with.
Mrs. Wang gave an ugly smile and said, "Mom, my daughter-in-law knows."
Seeing Duan Sitong's happy smile, the sadness on Wang's face slowly dissipated. Just like her mother-in-law said, it's not a bad thing.
People who can accept it can accept it. People who can't accept it will naturally not accept their posts.
