Chapter 648 Daughter

"Shut up! Shut her up!"

Chang's mother's expression was extremely terrifying, and she lunged at Song Chunxue with both hands and feet.

Song Chunxue's smile widened as she deftly dodged her attack.

"No wonder your family is always arguing. Tsk, those little devils are constantly trying to take your life. What will happen if Yun'er's two children continue to stay in your house? It's a good thing she gave birth to a daughter. If she had given birth to a son, he would have been killed by your two baby girls long ago. They hate boys the most."

The Chang family members present had different expressions, and their faces were not very good. Their gazes lingered between the elderly Chang couple.

They all doubted whether what they said was true.

"Oh, by the way, there must be another reason for Yun'er's miscarriage, right?"

"You instructed that girl named Yanran to deliberately provoke her, didn't you? After all, you went to the temple to ask, and it turned out this baby is also a girl." Song Chunxue sighed. "I don't know where you found this wicked child. Tell me, what truly wise person would do such a heinous thing? It was a baby, and you just killed it in its womb. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

This time, Chang Jiang was also enraged and shouted, "Men, tie her up!"

"Let's see who dares," Xie Zheng said coldly to Chang Jiang, "does he really want to take this to court?"

"Xie Zheng, I think you're just maliciously slandering the Chang family. You deliberately hired this swindler to spout nonsense, just to force us to agree to a divorce. Fine, then so be it. Shut your mouth, or I'll make sure you never come back!"

These words caused Xie Zheng to pause for a moment, then he revealed a faint smile.

Is this a case of someone getting angry out of spite and tearing off the mask?

"You old hag, you've been wanting to get rid of me for a long time, haven't you? Fine, go ahead and frame me however you want, but Yun'er must get a divorce. Don't think I'll let Yun'er stay in the Chang family to protect myself. You have the time to frame me, you should clean up your own mess and hide your tracks. But the dirty things you've done will eventually be used as a scapegoat by the higher-ups."

Chang Jiang rushed over to smash Xie Zheng's face, but Xie Zheng dodged to the side and then struck Chang Jiang twice hard under the armpit.

"Ouch!" Chang Jiang immediately fell to the ground, shouting angrily, "Get him! Today I'm going to fight Xie Zheng to the death!"

"Hey, hey, hey, do you really think this is the execution ground?" Xie's eldest brother said calmly.

"Don't forget, your Chang family still owes us money. You're unwilling to divorce because you don't want to let Yun'er's dowry go, right?"

The elderly Chang couple were furious, and with a single glance, they lunged at Song Chunxue and Xie Zheng.

"stop!"

Song Chunxue was unwilling to fight here, so she drew her sword and pointed it at Chang's mother.

“Standing there, daring to cause trouble here, have you thought this through? Lord Xie is an imperial envoy trusted by the Emperor. If you cause trouble in the main hall tomorrow, it's uncertain who will die first.”

These words seemed to freeze the Chang family members in place.

Just then, the shouts of the Chang family's servant came from outside the door.

"It's terrible! Young Master has been beaten by those women! Quickly, go and save him! The Xie family girl is a shrew!"

In a flash, the Chang family rushed to the backyard.

Xie Zheng glanced at Song Chunxue, who understood and immediately rushed to the archway, blocking their way.

"Do you intend to trespass into the Xie family's residence, gang up on the few, and teach Miss Xie a lesson?"

"You Chang family are really something, forcing a confession after failing to get a divorce. Are you so unwilling to part with Xie Lingyun's dowry that you have to drive her to her death before you're satisfied?"

Song Chunxue deliberately shouted, "Men, grab your weapons and drive these jackals out! The people of the Xie family are not to be trifled with!"

"yes!"

"Give me the shovel. I've been wanting to smash Chang Yunxuan's head in for ages!"

"Here, a rolling pin can break their bones!"

"Quick, grab the axe and chop off the unfaithful man's hand!"

...

The servants of the Xie family had heard for years that the Chang family were inhumane, bullying their young lady and spreading rumors that Lord Xie was weak and incompetent, destined for demotion and wandering, all show and no substance.

Lord Xie is so good to them. He has suffered all these years, but he has never let anyone deduct their monthly wages. During festivals, he even has the housekeeper prepare delicious food for their families.

They couldn't find a chance to deal with the Chang family, but now that they've come to their doorstep, how can they be lenient?

As they spoke, they rushed forward with their large weapons, axes, machetes, and shovels, seemingly ready to fight to the death, determined to carve off pieces of flesh from the Chang family members before they would stop.

Moreover, most of the servants in the Xie household were men, or elderly women, who were quite ruthless.

The people from the Chang family immediately backed down and couldn't help but hide.

Song Chunxue stood aside, thinking to herself that the Chang family was really desperate.

If the Xie family backs down even a step today, the Chang family will definitely ruin Xie Lingyun, dragging her to the Chang family and letting them decide whether she lives or dies.

Therefore, as a daughter, she lost her support after getting married.

Especially for those from ordinary families, in order not to implicate their sons, and also because they are afraid that their sons will be dissatisfied with their daughters' meals and daily life when they come back to their parents' home, they will turn a blind eye. When problems arise, they will only say: "Life is all about endurance. Which woman hasn't endured it? I was like that back then."

She used to treat Hongying the same way.

At that time, she was powerless, so she threw her daughter away like water.

Now that she has realized this and has the ability, she gives Hongying no less than she would her son.

If there is an afterlife, she will definitely have two fewer children, and if she has less money, she will have two fewer daughters.

Having daughters solely for the sake of having a son will only make the daughters more pitiful.

Just like Mulan in her previous life, she had four daughters and one son, and from a young age she kept telling her daughters to help her son in the future.

From the grandmother's perspective, it's true that once a daughter gets married, she belongs to another family.

After all, her daughter would be living with her husband's family in the future, and everything she had given was to them. In the end, her daily meals depended on someone else's daughter.

But from a woman's perspective, Song Chunxue only felt heartbroken.

After a woman gets married, most of her family members don't want her to quarrel with her husband's family. If she frequently goes back to her parents' home, people will gossip, and she'll have to clean up her messes by neglecting farm work.

Daughters seem to be born a burden.

"Auntie, are you alright?"

Xie Lingyun's voice pulled Song Chunxue back from her thoughts.

"nothing and you?"

"I'm fine. I'll handle the rest myself. Ultimately, it's between me and Chang Yunxuan, and I'll settle it myself."

Song Chunxue saw Chang Yunxuan following behind Xie Lingyun, his hand covering his swollen cheek, his mouth twitching in pain.

She stepped aside and said, "Okay."

She lowered her eyes, thinking that she still hadn't been good enough to Hongying.

Why don't we go back and get her a bigger courtyard? On the land she originally bought outside the city, we can build a large castle.

No, the fort outside the city is not as safe as the one at the foot of the mountain. Let's sell that piece of land and buy a piece of land inside the city to build a fort.

She only has one daughter, how could she bear to let her work so hard every day?

Selling steamed buns is hard work. I'll give her a shop later and let her run it. When she has free time, she can chat with people and grow old doing nothing.
