The Song Family were immersed in happy laughter and joyful voices. Madam Liu, who was married to Song Yuan as his second wife last year, was diagnosed of pregnancy two months ago. Today they called on a doctor who was good at identifying the baby gender. According to the doctor, he was 90% confident that the baby was a boy!
Madam Pang, eager for a grandson so badly, was pleased beyond words!
Her smile didn"t fade away even after the doctor left. She was talking about fetal stabilization with Madam Liu when a servant came hastily to report that the former relative Madam Cao brought people to smash open their front door and beat all the way towards the back hall. She couldn"t even believe her ears, "Is this old cat crazy? Just as she managed to let her daughter to hook up with Prince of Hengshan, she can show no respect for the Song Family now?"
Madam Liu heard that and also frowned, asking, "Are they coming here for the matter of Yixiao?"
Then she drew her napkin and pressed it on her eyes, starting to sob, "It"s all my fault! I allowed Ms. Wu to take her out due to Yixiao"s badgering… She was only an innocent child. I should have thought of the consequence. How can I allow a girl to hang around? Ms. Wu ought to be blamed too. She should have looked around while walking, or she would not be beaten unknowingly…"
"She deserved it!" Madam Pang always disliked Wei Mengying, her son"s first wife, so she was also indifferent to Song Yixiao. When she heard of that her granddaughter was lost a few days ago, she didn"t feel worried at all. Instead, she felt better because there wouldn"t be a granddaughter around her to remind her of the fact that Wei Mengying had abandoned Song Yuan and remarried.
Under this circ.u.mstance, she would never blame Madam Liu who was carrying a baby boy. On the contrary, she would attribute all the fault to the granddaughter, "If she stayed at home obediently, who could climb over the house and abduct her? She just followed her mother"s example and liked going out. Now she just deserved the misfortune!"
She got even more furious, "If it were not for the fact that you showed mercy for her and announced that she was dead, everyone would know that the eldest legitimate granddaughter of the Song Family was trafficked for being too mischievous, which would be an intolerable shame for us! Now that the Wei Family come to us for that, I must give two slaps to Cao as alertness!"
When she just finished talking, the door of the back hall had been kicked open. Madam Cao walked into the hall with a cold smile, "To give me two slaps as alertness?! I must ask you instead. You are a human being and you also have children yourself! How can you only treat your own children as human beings?!"
"I only treat my own children as human beings?" Madam Pang, beaming with anger, stood up quickly and pointed at her, roaring wrathfully, "The most regretful thing that I have ever done is not educating your daughter well after she was married to my son for the sake of his grace! Otherwise, even though your family is not decent, I should have taught her about the sense of propriety, justice, honesty and honor since she stayed in the Song Family for ten years!"
"Pfff!" Madam Cao spat on her face directly and cursed, "How dare you merciless old cat talk about the sense of propriety, justice, honesty and honor?! All men, good or bad, rarely maltreat their own children! You even plotted to hurt your granddaughter…"
"Madam Cao!" Madam Liu interrupted in surprise, "Did you misunderstand anything? How is it possible that Yixiao died because of mother? Actually, she…"
"How dare you play innocence now?!" Madam Cao had made proper arrangement before she came. She was afraid not to encounter this woman. Yet, Madam Liu stepped forward to defend for Madam Pang, which fitted in exactly with the wishes of the five daughters-in-law that Madam Cao brought!
Madam Mu and her sisters-in-law rushed forward and went at Madam Liu, scratching her hair and face as well as kicking her belly. When Madam Pang came to her senses and ordered the others to protect her in screams, Madam Liu had been rolling on the ground while holding her belly, "My baby… My baby…"
Madam Panda never thought of that the Wei Family should beat Madam Liu in front of her. One of the reasons why she disliked Wei Mengying was that—this former daughter-in-law was married to her son for ten years, but she only had one daughter and also made her son so deeply fascinated that he wouldn"t have any concubine!
However, according to the doctor, Madam Liu was conceiving a baby boy!
Staring at the blood dripping along the skirt hem of Madam Liu, Madam Pang felt that her heart was bleeding too!
Suddenly, she got into a muddle and struck at Madam Cao madly, "You evil! I must make you pay!"
Consequently, Madam Cao, who was well prepared, led two strong women to push her against the ground and beat her up, venting her anger because of the mockery from the Song Family after her daughter was remarried!
Having done beating her up, Madam Cao started to talk about her purpose in coming, "Thus, there"s incontrovertible proof. Your step-daughter-in-law is pregnant and loathes my granddaughter so she just asked her subordinate to sell my granddaughter to a brothel! She is such a vicious woman that a miscarriage is only a mild punishment for her! Listen! If you don"t explain to me well today, I will leave and go to the Liu Family to ask for an explanation!"
"My daughter remarried only because she couldn"t stand your maltreatment and the Wei Family has been disgraced for that! I am wondering what consequence will happen to you if everyone knows that the daughter of the Liu Family dares to sell the daughter of the first wife of the Song Family."
The Liu Family would vent the anger of the Wei Family at any rate, if Madam Cao gave them the chance!
Madam Cao snorted, "Even a bawd knows that a highborn lady shall not fall to the dirty place as a brothel. And you just think otherwise. The eldest legitimate granddaughter of your family has been taken out and got lost, but you didn"t even look for her or punish the delinquent servants. Instead, you just announced her death in public… There wouldn"t be grandmother or father like you! You are so cruel to your own blood, which shows your heartlessness! You are absolutely not human being at all! You are basically a beast!"
Madam Pang stared at her furiously. She stubbed her fingernails so deeply into her palms that her palms started to bleed and the blood dripped on the ground, saying through her teeth, "Nice scheme! Nice move! You just choose to put on such a show when my daughter-in-law is pregnant. Your daughter cannot give birth to a son, which is never tolerated by any mother-in-law! You"ve done this only to ruin my unborn grandson…"
Slap!
Madam Cao looked fierce and gave her a harsh slap, shouting loudly, "I dare to swear on the Wei Family, this is definitely not plotted by us! Do you dare to swear too? Beast! It is such a wrong decision for me to agree on marrying my daughter to you!"
"Moreover, my granddaughter has her own maid. Why was it not her foster nurse, Ms. Zhao but the maid of Madam Liu who followed her out of the residence? Obviously, Madam Liu is the one after this! Now that you defend for her like this, has this been approved by you?"
"You are such a vicious woman. How dare you blame my daughter for not having a grandson? Your family just deserve to live without descendants! If your son didn"t marry my daughter, you wouldn"t even have a granddaughter!"
