Chapter 465 Let me see
What do you mean by punishing a maid to scare people?
Song Chunxue was furious when she heard this.
She strode across the threshold, hands on her hips, staring at the people outside, forcing them to back away.
"So you mean that your sister sending two maids to my family's cloth shop to force my daughter-in-law to give up her position as the principal wife is less serious than me slapping your maids twice?"
Hu Zhanfei frowned slightly. Although he knew he was in the wrong, he couldn't back down now that he had come here.
"It's your son's good fortune that my sister has taken a liking to him. I heard he herded sheep for nine years and only started studying in recent years. He doesn't come from a scholarly family. If he knows what's good for him, he should do as my sister says..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Zhanfei fell backward, knocking two servants flying several meters.
The Taoist priest reached out and pressed down on Song Chunxue's shoulder. "Junior brother, don't be impulsive. You are the elder, how can you stoop to the level of a junior?"
Song Chunxue sneered, "Didn't you hear, Senior Brother? This is no ordinary junior. He talks like he's the Emperor himself. I am an elder, that's true, but I'm not one to be humiliated. If my elders can't teach me properly, I won't tolerate it."
Hu Zhanfei was so angry that he could stick scallions into his nostrils. He gritted his teeth and pointed at Song Chunxue, "You widow, don't push your luck. This has nothing to do with you. Get your son out here."
Sanwa walked out of the house, looking calmly at the man in front of him. He was inwardly filled with regret, wishing he hadn't been so vain and lent her his notebook because of Hu Wanqiu's kind words.
Song Chunxue wanted to say something, but the Taoist priest shook his head to stop her.
That's true. This was something Sanwa caused himself, and resolving it himself will teach him a lesson.
If she acts like a protective mother hen, constantly rushing in front of the children, she will only cause them to miss the opportunity to learn a lesson, and they will also harbor a sense of侥幸心理 (a gambler's mentality), which will encourage them to make the same mistakes again and again.
"You're Jiang Yexun?" Hu Zhanfei narrowed his eyes and suddenly punched him in the face.
Song Chunxue couldn't hold back and immediately rushed out to retaliate with a punch.
"One thing at a time, you can continue." After hitting someone, she felt quite pleased with herself and continued to stand behind Sanwa.
The Taoist priest gritted his teeth and pressed his fist to his lips to keep himself from losing his composure.
Hu Zhanfei was so angry he wanted to kill someone, but seeing the Taoist priest standing aside, he couldn't help but think of the previous rumors about Taoist priest Zhang and his junior brother intercepting and killing bandits.
If they really started fighting, they wouldn't be able to beat him based on the kick he just took.
That stupid girl Hu Wanqiu only said that Jiang Yexun's mother was a widow, but why didn't she say that she was the Taoist priest's hateful junior brother?
"Can we talk properly now? What brings you here today? Are you blaming my mother for hitting your sister's maid?" Jiang Yexun said with a half-smile. "I was planning to go to your house with my mother tomorrow to explain this matter. Since you've come in person, I'll trouble you to lead the way. This matter must be discussed with your parents in person."
Hu Zhanfei got angry, "What does this have to do with my parents? You're the one who made my sister misunderstand you. She's already been quite unreserved enough by going to your school..."
“She is Zhao Qian’s cousin. She came because she wanted to borrow my notes. I was inconsiderate before, but I told her to come back yesterday. After I got home, I found out that she had sent someone to find my wife. She overstepped her bounds. I only agreed to lend her the notes because of our friendship as classmates. I did not condone her harassing and humiliating my wife.”
Jiang Yexun spoke slowly and deliberately, “It was my vanity that made me think it was good to be valued by someone like your sister. It was my fault for not severing ties with her in time. I can apologize to your sister. If that’s not clear enough, we can meet at Zuiyue Tower tomorrow. You can accompany your sister there, and I will apologize to her in person.”
“You…” Hu Zhanfei pointed at him with his index finger. How could he not understand what he meant, but he couldn’t find the words to refute him.
After a long pause, he said angrily, "Then you came alone. You're a grown man, don't always ask your elders for help."
“Then I’ll bring my second brother with me tomorrow.”
"It's a deal. If you don't come, I'll definitely have someone break your legs." After making this threat, Hu Zhanfei arrogantly glared at them with his nostrils flared, then swaggered away, flicking his sleeves.
The Taoist priest couldn't help but praise, "Sanwa, you're brave and responsible, well done! You're much calmer than your mother. A true man must be able to control his temper to achieve great things."
"..." Song Chunxue was dissatisfied; this was implying that she had a bad temper.
She never aspired to great things; her current success is entirely due to God's blessing.
If that's the case, why should she wrong herself?
After dinner, the younger generation was washing the dishes, while the Taoist priest and Song Chunxue were drinking in the courtyard.
After Mulan washed the dishes, the Taoist priest took a wine pot and taught Mulan self-defense techniques, which prompted the three children to learn as well.
The fourth brother also used the third brother as a practice subject, taking the opportunity to whisper in his ear, "Not bad, third brother, you've even caught the eye of a rich young lady, you're quite promising."
Sanwa said expressionlessly, "Then I wish you will also be chosen by your husband's daughter, and she will cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang yourself, determined to marry no one but you."
"You..." the fourth brother chuckled, "There's such a good thing?"
"..." Sanwa ignored him and turned to go inside to read.
The Taoist priest's moves were quite unique, and the second brother learned a couple of moves from him, planning to put them to use tomorrow.
He Chuan squatted on the steps, and Xiu Juan pestered him to kick the sandbag.
Song Chunxue was also learning from the side. Seeing how diligently Mulan was studying, she couldn't help but think, "If only Mulan could meditate and cultivate herself..."
Forget it, what if I cultivate to be without desires and wants? How will I have children with Sanwa then?
She noticed the red marks on Sanwa's neck again; they looked a bit purplish.
"Mulan, do you have any biting bugs in your house? Their necks are all bruised. Should we put some ointment on them?"
Jiang Hongying asked curiously, "That's impossible! What kind of insect is so powerful? Let me see."
Mulan hadn't reacted yet, so she turned to the side to let Jiang Hongying see.
Jiang Hongying blushed instantly and covered her face with her collar. "It's nothing, it'll be fine soon. I guess it looked worse because I scratched it."
Song Chunxue thought it looked quite serious and turned to the Taoist priest, "Senior brother, could you take a look at her? I feel like she's been poisoned..."
"Cough cough cough..." The second brother turned around first, "Fourth brother, let's go up to the top of the wall and look at the scenery."
The fourth brother couldn't see clearly at first, but he instantly understood when he saw the second brother's expression.
"Okay, wait for me."
Xia Mulan then realized what was happening and ran to the east room with a blush on her face.
The Taoist priest also turned and walked towards the backyard, saying, "I'm going to the outhouse."
Song Chunxue was very puzzled. What did that mean?
Jiang Hongying and her husband carried the child and walked out. "Well, Mom, we're going back to sleep. You should go to sleep early too."
"Hey, don't rush off," Song Chunxue said. Although she guessed it was something difficult to talk about, she was really curious. Could it be that Mulan had secretly taken some kind of medicine? She couldn't sleep tonight without finding out. "Tell me clearly."
He Chuan led the two children out of the yard. Jiang Hongying blushed and whispered in her ear, "Mother, don't ask anymore. It was Sanwa who bit her."
"ah?"
Why?
"..." Jiang Hongying saw the Taoist priest arrive, and turned away in embarrassment, saying, "Don't ask anymore, I'll tell you another day."
