Chapter 234 Matchmaking as Soon as Possible
The group of people were suddenly startled by the shout and turned to glare at Song Chunxue.
Song Chunxue broke out in a cold sweat, wondering why Lord Xie's official position was so frustrating, being treated like this by a group of thugs. Why didn't he take more people with him when he went out?
When Xie Zheng, who was cornered, saw that it was Song Chunxue, he explained gently, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's just a small matter, you don't need to get involved."
Mei Yang recognized Song Chunxue, and a smile appeared on his serious face. "Yes, Sister-in-law Jiang, we didn't mean any harm to Lord Xie. He has done a lot of good things for us common people, and we are grateful to him."
"Someone just paid us to invite Lord Xie somewhere; it won't harm him," Mei Yang said with a hint of mockery. "Sister-in-law Jiang, you should go home."
Song Chunxue smiled faintly, "That sounds nice, but you're forcing people to do things against their will. If Lord Xie is unwilling, aren't you afraid of being arrested and taken to the yamen?"
Mei Yang crossed her arms and smiled, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just a few lashes. Women shouldn't meddle in men's affairs. Lord Xie doesn't need to stand up for justice."
She didn't need to, but Lord Xie had helped her so much, how could she stand idly by?
In a moment of quick thinking, Song Chunxue shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Guards! Lord Xie has been attacked by assassins! Help!"
Xie Zheng couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Liu Chunshu quickly stopped her, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't shout. It's unnecessary. It's just a misunderstanding."
Mei Yang and his men walked towards Song Chunxue, clenching their fists as if they were about to start a fight.
Song Chunxue stood still, but her heart was filled with great fear. Why was no one coming?
Even people outside the alley ran away when they heard her words, afraid of getting involved with her.
Aren't we all very grateful to Lord Xie? How can we just sit idly by and do nothing about his affairs?
Mei Yang raised her hand to stop the people behind her, "I'll handle this."
Lord Xie hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, please go back first. It's nothing."
He stood in front of Song Chunxue with a half-smile, "Sister-in-law doesn't seem like a reckless person, but if you had met someone else today, Lord Xie wouldn't have lost a hair, but it's hard to say where you'd end up with your eyes rolled back tomorrow."
Song Chunxue feigned composure, and on the surface, no flaws were visible.
"Really? I should thank you?"
But then she suddenly remembered that her senior brother had said that Lord Xie had quite a few admirers. Could it be that another woman had taken a fancy to him and wanted to kidnap him and force herself on him?
Otherwise, they wouldn't dare treat Lord Xie like that.
Wouldn't she be meddling in other people's business?
Mei Yang lowered his head and laughed, as if threatening her, and moved closer to her, his eyes filled with evil.
"Sister-in-law, you still have elderly people and young children at home, so don't join in the fun. Go home and cook."
"Otherwise, seeing that our sister-in-law still has her charms, the brothers won't mind."
Song Chunxue gripped the plate in the basket tightly. "I didn't realize that bandits also farm. I thought you were men of character, but it seems you're still just local thugs from Zhuanglang City?"
She felt that people who could honestly farm and earn money couldn't be unreasonable bullies.
Mei Yang was just trying to scare her.
Otherwise, he would have already taken action by now, so what's the point of reasoning with her?
Thinking of this, she remained calm and stared straight into his light brown pupils.
She's lived for almost eighty years, why would she be afraid of this kind of trick?
She told herself to stay calm.
Mei Yang laughed, "Sister-in-law is right. In the morning I'm a farmer, and in the afternoon I'm a thug, I'll do anything. So if you don't bring the money tomorrow morning, I'll come to your door and smash up your yard in the afternoon."
Song Chunxue laughed, "You're over thirty now, why are you acting like a clueless kid, trying to scare me with those kinds of words?"
The next moment, Song Chunxue's chin was suddenly grabbed.
Suddenly, Song Chunxue froze on the spot.
This person actually touched her chin!
This man actually touched her chin.
This is clearly flirting!
Without thinking twice, Song Chunxue angrily grabbed a plate from the basket and slammed it hard on Mei Yang's forehead.
At the same time, he took half a step back, creating space, and then kicked him straight in the stomach.
Even in her past life, after being widowed for so many years, and despite many men speaking rudely to her, no one dared to touch her.
That's fucking filthy!
Enraged, Song Chunxue rubbed her chin hard with her sleeve, pointed at him, and shouted, "I'll chop off your dog paws, you believe me!"
Xie Zheng pushed aside the people next to him and ran over, pointing at Mei Yang and angrily rebuking, "In broad daylight, you harass a respectable woman. I only refrained from anger because you were being ordered around. How could you be so shameless and vulgar!"
"..." Song Chunxue, who was originally angry, felt a little amused when she saw Xie Zheng raise his wide sleeves and point at someone while cursing.
It turns out that Lord Xie is really not good at anything other than being an official.
I wonder how he got through the time he was demoted?
Xie Zheng was furious. He had just been cornered and didn't know what to do, but now he was pointing his finger at Mei Yang and cursing.
“Go back and tell your master that if he has the guts, let him kill me and let me die here. Otherwise, even if I starve to death or die in poverty, or am maliciously accused and slandered, I will never marry him or give my daughter to him.”
“I don’t even want to look at such a vulgar and ill-mannered person, let alone marry him.”
"..." Song Chunxue bit her lip to stop herself from laughing. So, Lord Xie was being forced into marriage by some family again.
That makes sense; those with money and power are bound to be envious of Lord Xie.
As the saying goes, even a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs, but a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Xie Zheng was once an official in the capital, and he will eventually return.
If we marry our daughter to him, when Xie Zheng returns to the capital, his father-in-law's family will all benefit.
"Why are you angry, sir? I shouldn't have laid a hand on you, but this woman kicked and punched me without me saying a word. What more do you want, sir?"
Mei Yang stared at Song Chunxue, his anger simmering with nowhere to go.
Even in his anger, the man still wore a smile. "Could it be that Sister-in-law Jiang has taken a fancy to Lord Xie, thus preventing him from going to Master Ren's house?"
Song Chunxue frowned. "Which eye of yours saw that I had taken a liking to Lord Xie? If that's the case, then I might have taken a liking to you. Lord Xie has done so many good things for the people of Zhuanglang City. Even if you want to take him somewhere, you should do it in a peaceful manner, at least by carrying him in a sedan chair. It's not like you're some kind of bandits forcing a marriage."
Then, she looked at Lord Xie.
"I'm sorry, Lord Xie. I thought they were going to harm you, so please forgive my rash intervention. Sorry for disturbing you, you all go ahead with your business, I'll go buy another plate."
Song Chunxue turned around expressionlessly, thinking to herself that she couldn't act rashly next time.
Judging from the fact that Lord Xie only brought one attendant today, perhaps he was half-heartedly agreeing and preparing to give in.
She really is meddling in other people's business.
"stop!"
"etc."
Lord Xie and Mei Yang spoke at the same time.
Song Chunxue stopped in her tracks. "What is it?"
Mei Yang pointed to his forehead and said, "Sister-in-law hit someone and wronged me. Shouldn't you apologize?"
Lord Xie said, "She was just trying to help me out of this predicament, so I apologize on her behalf..."
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. You're the one who hit me, and in front of so many of my brothers. Sister-in-law Jiang, are you really not going to apologize?"
He chuckled smugly, “Fine, you don’t have to tell me. From now on, I’ll bring some people to knock on your door every day. Anyway, I’ve heard that your husband has been dead for many years.”
"Seeing how agile my sister-in-law is, I'm just missing a wife with brute strength at home. Why don't we get together as soon as possible?"
