Chapter 106 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Fight
Inside the house, Old Mrs. Chi was in the center, talking with her old friends, when Mother Lü and Chi Guiying walked in.
In front of outsiders, one must put on a show, so he put on a cheerful and loving expression and waved to Chi Guiying.
"My dear in-law, Second Sister, come sit here."
Chi Guiying felt a bitter smile to herself. Yesterday, she had made a special trip to visit her grandmother, but had not been able to see her. Today, however, her grandmother was showing her extra affection in front of others.
As for Lü's mother, she put on an act, her tone and demeanor exactly the same as before.
Despite her disdain, Grandma Chi smiled and explained to those around her, "My mother-in-law is just that straightforward."
Is she straightforward? He Lingyi doesn't think so.
In her opinion, it was best if nothing happened today; otherwise, she would have to settle accounts with Lu's mother in advance.
He appeared to be socializing with Lady Qin, but his eyes kept glancing at Madam Lü and Chi Guiying. Sure enough, in no time, Madam Lü's expression turned sour.
She couldn't stop talking about Jia Meiren, who was pregnant.
Those who are here to celebrate today certainly wouldn't take a mere beauty seriously.
Therefore, many noblewomen, though they didn't say it to their faces, secretly felt that the marriage between the Vice Minister's Mansion and the Lü family was really beneath them!
Therefore, after exchanging a few ambiguous words, they all made excuses to leave.
One was like this, and so were two. Soon, Mother Lü realized that she was not being favored by those noble ladies. This was an injustice that she, who always had a strong sense of self-respect, could not bear. So, she glared at Chi Guiying next to her.
Unable to find anyone else to vent his anger on, he naturally took it out on her, saying, "Look how useless you are in this house!"
Having just been rebuked by her mother-in-law, Chi Guiying couldn't hold back any longer and retorted in a sarcastic tone.
“Mother-in-law, what you’re saying is strange. I’m not well-liked here, but do you think I’m well-liked in the Lü family? Those concubines only came to pay their respects and offer me tea on the first day. I can’t even catch a glimpse of them otherwise. I’ve been the young mistress of the Lü family for nothing, but I’m all alone and can’t sway anyone. I’ve heard that you’ve received a lot of money from them as a form of filial piety. No wonder they all look down on me!”
Chi Guiying's temper is getting worse and worse; she can't stand the slightest bit of negativity.
This made Lu's mother feel embarrassed in front of so many people. Seeing the mocking looks from those around her, Lu's mother blushed. She had never been criticized so bluntly in her life. In a moment of anger, she slapped Chi Guiying.
"You unfilial brat, how dare you talk back to your mother-in-law like that! Don't you know how you got married into the Lü family? Do I have to expose all your shameful deeds?"
The slap made Chi Guiying dizzy, and many people looked over, their eyes filled with surprise.
This is the residence of a high-ranking official! To beat up the daughter of a high-ranking official like this, this Mother Lü is truly a... eccentric. Some busybodies immediately gathered around, eager to see more exciting developments.
"No, something is going to happen!"
He Lingyi, who was watching from the sidelines, knew that there would be a conflict today as soon as she saw Lu's mother make a move. Normally, she would not care even if the two of them fought, but today was different. No one should try to ruin her mother's happy marriage!
Therefore, he shouted and squeezed his way to where the two were.
Unfortunately, everyone loves to see a joke, so they naturally craned their necks to stand in front. Before He Lingyi could even reach Chi Guiying, Chi Guiying swung her arm and slapped him back.
No matter what, Lu's mother was old, and this slap made her teeth loose and blood flow from the corner of her mouth. She pointed at Chi Guiying with a look of terror and cursed angrily!
"You dare to hit your mother-in-law? I'll kill you!"
These two slaps unleashed the pent-up rage within both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Neither cared about saving face or pride; neither was willing to admit defeat, and so they quickly began to fight.
"Don't lay a hand on me! This is the Vice Minister's residence!"
He Lingyi shouted and immediately tried to pull her away, but the maidservant next to her, Wen Xia, knew that her young mistress had a grudge against her and thought that Miss He might have come on purpose, so she stepped forward to stop her, completely disregarding the fact that she was pregnant.
How could He Lingyi possibly stop this maid's strength?
With a sudden effort, He Lingyi fell onto the table and chairs next to her, scattering teacups all over the floor. Her arm was also pricked and bled slightly, causing her to gasp in pain.
Since this body had never been injured before, the cuts and burns made her so painful that she couldn't speak. Lady Qin, the wife of the Marquis, watched helplessly as her goddaughter, the future Crown Princess, was persecuted to such an extent, and shouted angrily.
"Are you all blind? Quickly separate the Lü family mother and daughter-in-law! And tie this girl up! How dare she push someone from our Marquis's mansion? She doesn't want to live anymore!"
After saying a few words, he immediately walked over to He Lingyi's side.
He looked at the injury on her arm with a pained expression, and was furious. He was about to lash out, but He Lingyi grabbed him and shook her head slightly.
"Godmother, today is Sister Chi's wedding day. It's not a good day to make a scene! Let's talk about it after today!"
It was these words that finally calmed the furious Lady Qin, who looked at the bound maid Wenxia and spoke with a sharp glint in her eyes.
"Gag him first, lock him in the woodshed, and we'll talk about it after today!"
Wen Xia was afraid that she would be secretly dealt with, so she didn't care about anything else and shouted at Chi Guiying.
"Young Madam, save me! Save me!"
On the other side, Chi Guiying and her mother-in-law were locked in a fierce battle, so how could they possibly spare a thought for Wenxia's life or death?
Not only that, Chi Guiying, as if harboring a grudge, shouted out all her misfortunes in one go.
"My shameful deeds? Your son shamelessly took so many people from my courtyard, forcing me to marry them. He even caused my mother to be injured and driven to the manor by my father, and her fate is still unknown. And you still talk about my shameful deeds! Today I will show everyone what kind of people your Lü family is!"
Although Chi Guiying was a lady from a prominent family, she was ruthless when it came to hitting people.
He grabbed Lu's mother by the hair and started punching her face and chest repeatedly, as if he had been holding back his resentment for a long time and wanted to vent it immediately!
Such a scene of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law battle terrified everyone present.
Conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have existed since ancient times, but it's the first time I've seen them openly fighting in front of so many people. So the noblewomen who were watching the spectacle were afraid of getting involved, but also felt that they had seen something amazing. So they kept backing away, but their eyes never left the two of them.
