Chapter 290 A Match for the Match
Although Zhang Juexia really wanted to laugh at Liu Hong and Fang Lan's jokes, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of their looks.
While they were arguing with each other, she was pulled off the carriage by Li Yingyue.
"How can we be left out of this kind of thing? If we're delayed like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to see the jewelry."
Li Yingyue directly ordered the driver, "If you don't want to join in the fun, go back home first!"
"Miss, what are you going to do?"
"We'll walk back later."
The driver thought for a moment and said, "How about I just wait here for you guys? I want to see the fun, too."
"Well, let's park our carriage here! Shunhe County is usually too monotonous. I really want to thank Li Yiran for his fighting ability today. Otherwise, this street wouldn't be so lively."
Seeing how excited Li Yingyue was, Zhang Juexia couldn't help but ask, "Is Li Yiran famous?"
"Of course. We used to have a lot of arguments, but later on, I just found it boring and didn't want to bother with her anymore."
"Is it just because you don't want to bother with him anymore? Is there no other reason?"
Seeing Zhang Juexia pressing forward, Li Yingyue suddenly sighed, "Sister, can't you give me some face? She's so powerful, I can't beat her or argue with her, so I can only run away."
This time Zhang Juexia ran faster than Li Yingyue. Liu Hong, Fang Lan and others had to stand behind. Today she mainly wanted to see Li Yiran herself.
Zhang Juexia had only seen Li Yiran from afar before, and it had to be said that she was quite amazing back then.
"Sister, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me."
Zhang Juexia and Li Yingyue pushed through the thick wall of people and squeezed into a gap where they could see the truth clearly.
Zhang Juexia raised his foot and saw Liu Hong squatting in the corner listlessly, while Fang Lan stood beside him, crying in grievance.
When Zhang Juexia saw Fang Lan, he couldn't help but be shocked. It had been such a long time since they last saw her, and she looked so old.
The white hair on his head was covered like frost and snow, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were as deep as ravines.
The whole person looked like dead grass in winter, having long lost its former glory.
Li Yiran stood with his hands on his hips, shouting loudly on the street, "Don't be fooled by these two old guys. They are just pretending."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and wiped her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand. In an instant, her tears burst out like a flood.
Nanny Wang beside her also cried with red eyes and comforted her, "My lady, your life is so miserable!
Before she got married, she was as precious as gold. Now that she's married, she's faced with such unreasonable parents-in-law. It's truly a sin!"
When Liu Hong heard this, he immediately jumped up and pointed at Nanny Wang and cursed, "You old bitch, who are you calling unreasonable?"
Nanny Wang was Li Yiran's wet nurse and had always been respected by the Li family.
When had she ever been insulted like this? She stood up and said, "Everyone, come and judge for yourself. Look at him, isn't he being unreasonable?
My young lady is the daughter of a teacher and is the most knowledgeable about etiquette. If they hadn't forced her so shamelessly, how could she be so rude?
What a sin! What a sin! Our son-in-law just passed the imperial examination, and this family's true colors are revealed. They rely on their son's passing to instigate our son-in-law to divorce his wife."
"She deserves to be divorced. My son is a scholar, and she is so vulgar and ugly that she is no longer worthy of him."
Fang Lan followed Liu Hong and echoed, "A woman like her who disrespects her parents-in-law should be divorced."
Li Yiran was obviously pressed into a corner. She pulled Nanny Wang behind her and went in personally, "Listen everyone, these two are talking nonsense. What fault have I committed that they actually want my husband to divorce me?
I'm telling you, I, Li Yiran, wasn't scared. If you don't explain the whole story to me today, I won't let you off, you two old bastards."
"Humph, what a joke! We need a reason to divorce a wife. To tell you the truth, you are too aggressive and no longer worthy of my son.
My son is a scholar, so he should find a docile wife who can serve him well."
"Me, bah, with his ugly appearance, he doesn't deserve it. I'm telling you, don't be so cocky too soon. After all this commotion we've made today, whether your son's talent can be preserved or not is another matter!"
Fang Lan looked at Li Yiran in disbelief. "You are such a vicious woman! You are not trying to kill my son!"
Then she sat on the ground, touched her knees and started crying, crying and complaining, "My poor son, I thought she would calm down after you passed the imperial examination, but she still doesn't repent.
My poor son, our whole family has worked hard to support your education, buy you a house and land, but you are so blind that you married such an unreasonable daughter-in-law.
My poor son, you have suffered so much."
Li Yiran stomped his feet in anger, "Shut up, shut up, you are crying, I tell you, your son is not dead yet."
Li Yingyue laughed at the side, "Li Yiran has finally met a master. These two old men are not simple!"
“It’s not that simple.”
Zhang Juexia seemed to see Liu Hong's raised mouth corner, which was obviously full of disdain, meaning, if you want to fight with me, you are still a little naive.
I don’t know who reported it to the authorities, but when the police arrived, they tried to persuade them.
Li Yiran gave face and prepared to call a truce.
Liu Hong and Fang Lan still refused to give up.
The officer was so angry that he pointed at Liu Hong's nose and scolded him, "Don't think I don't know you. You smashed someone's shop before the Lunar New Year and were thrown into jail.
Let me tell you, your son has had a hard time. He studied hard for many years and just passed the imperial examination, yet you are making such a fuss.
I tell you, if he keeps making such a fuss, his reputation as a scholar will be in jeopardy."
Fang Lan half opened her mouth, "Impossible, impossible, if I passed the exam, I passed, how can I lose my honor?
It's you, you must be the ones behind this, you're in the same group, right?"
The officer was too lazy to bother with this family because it was a family dispute and no one was hurt. It was just a quarrel between them. At most, he would just scold them loudly, and he really had no right to interfere with the rest of the matter.
The officer glanced at Li Yiran with sympathy. This little girl used to be a powerful killer in the county town, but now she had met her match.
It really proves the saying that evil will be punished by evil.
"Since they don't trust us, brothers, let's retreat!"
After the official left, Li Yin said to Liu Hong and Fang Lan, "As long as your son and I don't divorce, this house is mine. Don't even think about entering."
As she spoke, she ordered the people around her, "Close the door tightly for me. Don't let even a fly in."
