Chapter 10 Do you think you are the master just because you are older?】
Qin Mengyue had hit her head and her mind was still dizzy. However, she was a little overwhelmed when she saw that her family, who had always been respectful and harmonious to her, had suddenly become so sarcastic and aggressive.
Although her father and brother were both military commanders, her parents had doted on and protected her since she was young, and her mother's education was mainly to be gentle, quiet and virtuous. Therefore, she had no idea how to deal with this group of opportunists in such a hurry!
"Second uncle, second brother, second sister-in-law, third brother, Shuo'er did not commit treason! How come even you don't believe him?" Qin Mengyue tried to explain to her family.
Zhang saw that Qin Mengyue was still making unreasonable arguments and refused to kneel down and kowtow to her as her two grandsons asked. It was clear that she did not take her as her grandmother seriously!
She banged the floor with her cane, making a loud noise. She was furious: "What a rebellion! This bitch still doesn't repent! She's even disrespectful to her mother's family elders! She doesn't even respect me, her grandmother!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sneer.
The Qin family couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking at the person who sneered, they were all stunned for a moment.
Who was this charming and beautiful woman? How dare she sneer at them?
At this time, the young woman who was supporting Zhang looked at Chen Fenghe and reminded her with resentment in her tone: "Grandfather, this is the crown prince... No, this is the wife that the traitor married!"
This young woman is the daughter of Zhang’s eldest grandson Qin Lizheng, named Qin Huanhuan, and also the niece of Qin Mengyue.
Since she was a child, Qin Huanhuan wanted to marry the prince and become the queen in the future.
When the prince was discussing marriage, she had urged her mother Qian to go to the palace to plead with Qin Mengyue, asking the prince to marry her as the crown princess, saying that good things should be kept in the family and that having a daughter-in-law who is her niece is always better than having someone else who is not related to her.
Fortunately, Qin Mengyue was clear-headed and directly rejected Qian.
Therefore, Qian and Qin Huanhuan have always held a grudge against the Queen, and even against the future Crown Princess.
Now that the Crown Prince had been executed for treason, Qin Huanhuan was secretly glad that she hadn't become the Crown Princess. But then she thought, if she hadn't become the Crown Princess, wouldn't she have also been confiscated and exiled? Wouldn't that be the same treatment as the Crown Princess? It was simply outrageous!
Why didn't that woman get beheaded even though she became the Crown Princess?
Therefore, Qin Huanhuan became even more resentful towards Shen Fenghe, and therefore, she noticed Shen Fenghe from the very beginning.
Just like Shen Fenghe didn't know most people in the Qin family, the other people in the Qin family didn't know the Crown Princess either.
Now after hearing what Qin Huanhuan said, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Anyway, those who are close to the prince, no, those who are close to that traitor, are the culprits who caused them to be exiled!
Qin Liqing's wife, Liu Cui, saw this and immediately shouted, "What are you laughing at?"
Chen Fenghe glanced at her coldly and said, "I laugh at some people who think too highly of themselves. You're just a concubine, but you think you're the master just because you're old? You actually let your granddaughter kowtow to you? Who gave you that face?!"
This obviously touched a sore spot for Old Lady Zhang. Her wrinkles trembled with anger as she shouted, "What are you talking about, you little bitch!"
In ancient times, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children was strictly enforced, and many concubines and maids were children born to lower-class people in the family, commonly known as house-born children.
Even if such a woman is taken into the master's room and becomes a concubine, she is still a servant in reality. She has to pay her respects when she sees the legitimate sons and daughters born to the wife.
Some older people whose families have good traditions still respect her. If her family has bad traditions, they will directly kick her out of the house or arrange for her to continue to be a servant by cleaning.
Zhang was able to be so arrogant because her grandfather, the queen, favored his concubine over his wife, and because the Qin family was upright and didn't blame her!
Zhang continued to shout at her descendants, "Are you all dead? Go up and slap that bitch in the face!"
How could Qin Huanhuan miss this opportunity for revenge? She immediately volunteered and said, "Grandfather, I'll go teach her a lesson!"
As he said that, he ran in front of Chen Fenghe, rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit Chen Fenghe.
Now that she has been exiled, Chen Fenghe is no longer as restrained as she was in the palace. She raised her hand to grab Qin Huanhuan's wrist and twisted it violently. With a click, Qin Huanhuan's wrist was dislocated.
"Ah! It hurts!" Qin Huanhuan cried out in pain.
Then there were two slaps, and two slaps hit Qin Huanhuan's face.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
this……
Although the Qin family had rarely seen Shen Fenghe, Shen Shi'an's reputation in the capital was well known for taking away most of the family property of his wife's family, the Gu family, and favoring his concubine over his wife, and treating his legitimate sons and daughters harshly.
When Chen Fenghe married into the Eastern Palace, she didn't even have a decent dowry and was ridiculed by the entire capital. However, she was like a bun and didn't dare to complain at all. It was obvious that she was an easy person to bully.
Why... today you start off by slapping someone in the face without any hesitation?
"It's a rebellion! This is truly a rebellion! Oh my God! Are you just going to watch Huan'er get bullied?"
Zhang started shouting again.
After hearing this, Qin Lizheng, Qin Liqing, and their sons Qin Jian and Qin Chang rushed over with ferocious looks, wanting to teach Qin Mengyue and Shen Fenghe, two weak women, a lesson.
Shen Yichuan and Xiao Yunhao rushed out, opened their arms and protected Shen Fenghe and Qin Mengyue respectively.
"Don't hit my sister!"
"Don't hit my mother!"
At this time, an officer in charge of the escort came over and said sternly:
"What are you all arguing about? You've been exiled, and you're still not quiet! What do you mean by abandoned women returning to their parents' home? Your homes have been raided, so what kind of parents do you even have? Hurry up and get going! This place of exile is three thousand miles away, and you'll have a hard time on the way! If you miss the date and anger the higher-ups, I'll just commuted your sentence to death, but don't implicate us brothers!"
Seeing this, the Qin family members couldn't help but shrink their heads and dared not make trouble anymore.
They glared at Chen Fenghe and Qin Mengyue viciously and walked away for the time being.
On this side, Qin Mengyue's pale face was covered with traces of tears. She had not yet recovered from the shock of being backstabbed by her mother's family. She hugged Xiao Yunhao and stared blankly at the backs of those who walked away.
Chen Fenghe came over and helped Qin Mengyue up, saying softly, "Mother... let's hurry up and get on our way."
The original owner used to call Qin Mengyue mother, but now the situation has changed, and calling her mother is definitely inappropriate. She didn't know how to call her for a moment, so she had to use vague words.
Qin Mengyue finally came back to her senses, nodded somewhat helplessly, and said, "Okay. Let's... hurry on our way."
Thinking of how aggressive those relatives of her mother had been and how they had almost hit Chen Fenghe, Qin Mengyue felt a pang of guilt. She grabbed Chen Fenghe's hand and said,
"Feng He, your uncles, cousins, and sisters-in-law were also angry because of a sudden change. They were angry at us. Once they calm down, it should be fine. You...don't blame them...after all, we are all family. We are two women with three five-year-old children. We still need their care on the road..."
