Chapter 25: Forcing Them into Despair

Mo Yiran was most afraid of escorts with whips in their hands, especially the scarred Peng who was in charge of their group. He had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, but he was always playing with a whip or a machete in his hands.

After hearing Shen Yunyue's words, she didn't dare to cry out loud.

She covered her mouth with her hands and sobbed, tears streaming down her face like free rain.

Shen Yunyue had no choice but to let Fu Xuanheng sit in the wheelchair and push him away. She also let Mo Yiran sit in the carriage, otherwise she would cry herself to death.

Fu Xuanheng also saw that Yingfeng and several others were injured.

She looked coldly at the He family's house, but the man who had been with her grandmother was gone.

Fu Xuanheng understood clearly that the He family wanted to destroy the Shen family's carriage.

Force them into a desperate situation.

If they were to remove the firewood from under the cauldron, all the Shen family's belongings would belong to the He family. Everyone knew that the Shen family's relatives went to Hefeng Pavilion to deliver silver, herbs, and rice.

Less than half an hour had passed when a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Shen Yunyue swiftly pushed Fu Xuanheng to the side of the carriage and let him sit in it. She then folded up the wheelchair and placed it on the carriage.

Liu Xiaoyun put Shu Bao in Mo Yiran's arms, and she got out of the car and walked with Shen Yunyue and others.

Everyone walking had a straw raincoat and a pair of wooden clogs.

"Second Aunt, please walk with the help of a wooden stick. It's not good to get hurt on a slippery road in rainy days." Shen Yunyue held a bamboo stick in her hand as a weapon and a support for walking.

"Okay. I'll use a stick to help me walk, too."

Liu Xiaoyun agreed with a smile.

The other members of the Shen family also each held a wooden stick, and they all walked close together so that they could look after each other.

Shen Citong, who was lagging behind, glanced at the person next to him from time to time.

He doesn't want to fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives.

The people from the Lu family and the He family looked at the raincoats on the Shen family, wondering if they should find a way to ask for a few of them.

Aunt Feng got out of the carriage and shouted at Shen Yunyue who was on her way:

"Girl from the Shen family. Bring me a straw raincoat."

Shen Yunyue rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Too lazy to respond.

"Girl from the Shen family, are you deaf? Did you hear me asking you to get me a straw raincoat? After all, I follow the Shen family, so it's not too much to ask for a straw raincoat, right?" The sharp voice was particularly harsh in the rain.

"Mrs. Feng, you are shameless and yet you are right. Why should I give you a straw raincoat?"

"Just because I'm Fu Xuanheng's elder." Feng Xiao'e's voice became increasingly sharp and crazy.

Shen Yunyue laughed and scoffed:

"You are a servant, yet you dare to act like a master? People like you deserve to be thrown into a pig cage."

The merciless sarcasm made Feng Xiao'e embarrassed.

She raised her eyes and looked at the man with mustache with grievance.

The man with the mustache was looking at a young woman from the Lu family, not paying any attention to Feng Xiaoe. The young woman from the Lu family glanced at the man with the mustache with a sharp look, her clear eyes filled with invitation, and then she lowered her head shyly.

She reached out and touched her rain-soaked hair.

In the rain.

He looks increasingly frail and pitiful.

The man with the handlebar mustache felt his throat tighten, and he used his sword to pick up the raincoat on his horse's back and handed it to her. "Young lady of the Lu family, please don't hurt yourself in the cold rain."

The young woman from the Lu family raised her head slightly, not daring to look any further.

He reached out to take the raincoat and bowed. Softly, he said:

"Thank you for your care, sir."

"Hahaha. Funny." The man with a mustache grinned.

The Lu family members looked at each other with different thoughts. The concubine in front was just accompanying the escort. She was only given three or five extra steamed buns every day, but now this one had been favored by the escort with a mustache.

"Fox bitch." A woman from the Lu family couldn't help but curse.

Feng Xiao'e hadn't expected that after all the effort she put into wooing the mustache-faced man every night, she would be seduced by a little whore in just a few glances. Her hands tightly gripped the carriage door frame, and her eyes, etched with poison, swept over the young woman from the Lu family.

"Shameless whore. How dare you seduce a man in broad daylight."

Feng Xiao'e spoke in a loud voice and everyone around her heard it.

The man with the mustache kept silent with a smug sneer on his face.

The young woman from the Lu family had tears in her eyes, swirling in her sockets, threatening to fall. Biting her lip, she looked at Feng Xiao'e unconvinced, "We are sworn brothers—we are both servants. Aunt Feng, are you looking down on me? Or are you seducing a man in broad daylight?"

The man with the mustache originally thought that the young lady of the Lu family would be bullied by Feng Xiao'e.

Seeing that this fierce woman was even more aggressive than Feng Xiao'e, he felt relieved. He ignored the verbal sparring between the two and lightly held the horse's belly to walk a few quick steps.

In the past, even the wife of the Lu family would have to bow her head when she saw Feng Xiao'e.

Now any insignificant little bitch can be stepped on.

She didn't bother to ask Shen Yunyue for a straw raincoat.

She had to deal with the Lu family's young lady first, otherwise all these women would come rushing over. Feng Xiao'e knew that the mustache man didn't really love her, and that he was just like a jealous rooster trying to protect her status.

"You shameless little whore. If you dare to argue with me, I'll tear your stinking mouth apart."

Feng Xiao'e picked up the stick from the carriage and hit him on the head.

The young woman of the Lu family was caught off guard and was hit with a few sticks. She wailed and hid among the Lu family members.

"Mrs. Feng, the charioteer belongs to everyone. Could it be that it belongs only to you, Feng Xiao'e?"

Some members of the Lu family spoke out in defense:

"Mrs. Feng, please don't go too far. The women in our family are not easy to bully. If we really tear our faces apart, it will be embarrassing for everyone."

"I just bullied that little bitch, so what?"

Feng Xiaoe sat in the carriage with her hands on her hips and sneered:

"You dare to seduce me with evil intentions? I will expose this little whore."

After this quarrel, everyone knew that Feng Xiao'e and the young lady of the Lu family had a quarrel over the mustache.

Some people looked at the two of them with disdain.

"Shameless, unlucky thing."

"The world is really going downhill. Both of them are not good people."

…

Many people are talking about it.

The other members of the Lu family also looked embarrassed. Their family sent out a concubine to accompany the escort.

Although he had no choice, he still had to save face.

One of the older women grabbed the younger woman's arm and said, "Zhou Ying, hand over the raincoat. Grandmother doesn't even have one to wear, yet you're wearing one."

Zhou Ying, the young woman, hugged her arms tightly and refused. "Sister-in-law, I have a three-year-old son who needs shelter from the rain. You can't take my raincoat away. It was given to me by the police."

"Nonsense. You gave the raincoat to your grandmother out of filial piety. How could the officer not understand your filial piety?" The woman gave a look, and several women next to her came over and took off the raincoat from the woman.

Zhou Ying held her young son in her arms, tears mixing with the rain.

She looked at the people around her with a desolate expression, "Please, my tiger is still young."

"Bah! Don't you even look at yourself? Are you worthy of wearing a straw raincoat?" Someone nearby spat.

Seeing this, Aunt Feng sneered and retreated into the carriage.

Shen Yunyue watched these people fighting each other coldly without saying a word, and let them fight however they wanted.

As long as you don't provoke the Shen family.

Zhou Ying turned his eyes and met Shen Yunyue's gaze. He quickly spoke to Shen Yunyue:

"Sister Shen, please be kind and lend me your raincoat for a day, okay?"

Shen Yunyue frowned and sneered: "Get lost. Don't call me the sister of the Shen family. When did the Shen and Lu families become so close? Find a way to take back the things that were stolen from you. Don't expect others to be kind."
