Wang Er had just heard his mother say that Su Man was arranged to be his second wife. Under the influence of alcohol, he said rudely, "Yes, she doesn't even recognize her own husband. What will she do if she enters the wrong house?"
"Hahaha." His friends at the table all burst into laughter.
Everyone around heard the noise at their table, but no one dared to speak.
Although Wang Er was uneducated and unskilled, he had a good father. His father, Lord Wang, was a second-rank official in the imperial court, and even Wang Er's sister was the emperor's favorite concubine. Yun Man, on the other hand, was merely the concubine daughter of a sixth-rank official, so naturally, no one was willing to stand up for her.
Facing Wang Er's teasing, Su Man pretended to be confused, "Mr. Wang Er, are you drunk? Didn't you marry Miss Song?"
She suddenly mentioned Wang Er's deceased wife, which made him look unhappy. A drunken young man at the table said, "Song died of illness. Don't mention it again."
Su Man knew her mistake and quickly changed her words, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. The second son of the Wang family's wife is Zou. Haha, look at my head."
"Bang."
Wang Er threw the wine jug in his hand onto the table. "Are you sincere?"
Su Man was surprised, "What happened to Mr. Wang Er?"
Wang Er staggered to his feet and pointed at her nose, saying, "It's a wonderful day, and you're deliberately ruining my fun for those two dead guys."
Su Man shook her head in disapproval. "Mr. Wang, how can you say that? These two young ladies are both famous ladies. Although they are gone, their spirits are still there. You are talking about them as if they are dead. It is really disrespectful."
Wang Er was already arrogant, and now Su Man was lecturing him in public. He was drunk and cursed, "I can curse if I want to. I don't even mind the bad luck of their death. Who do you think you are, to dare to say that to me!"
Su Man glanced at the man at the next table who was about to crush his wine glass in anger, and said sincerely, "Second Master Wang, I just want you to respect the deceased. After all, the late Madam's maternal family raised her. Her passing must be heartbreaking. You're hurting her family by doing this."
Wang Er was completely drunk, so how could he understand Su Man's instigation? He only knew that Su Man was a little concubine's daughter, and how dare she disrespect him? He cursed, "Shameless bitch, how dare you say that about me? Believe it or not, I will tell you to marry in with your head held high and leave with your head held low."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Suman.
At this critical moment, a man stood up from the back table, grabbed him by the collar and punched him, "You beast! My sister's body is still warm, and you dare to humiliate her like this? I will beat you to death."
During the struggle, the man pinned Wang Er to the ground and punched him in the greasy face.
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Wang Er's minions also rushed forward, but then a few young masters joined the melee.
Su Man guessed that these people were probably the brothers and family members of the Song and Zou families. They probably knew the reason for their daughter's tragic death, but they were unable to compete with the Wang family. Now that someone had taken the initiative, their emotions had an outlet and they were no longer suppressed.
There was also an old man in his seventies, shaking his head with his cane, crying and beating Wang Er, "You beast, give me back my grandson!"
The small-scale war immediately turned into a large-scale brawl, with bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses flying everywhere.
The servants tried to stop one but couldn't stop the other, and the whole place became a mess.
"Ouch, it's bleeding!"
A cry of surprise interrupted the fight.
Wang Er had been beaten so badly that he was bleeding profusely, especially the wound on his forehead, which looked horrifying.
The eldest lady and Master Yun were already frightened by this scene. The eldest lady pointed at Su Man's nose and cursed, "You are talking nonsense! Kneel down and apologize to Madam Wang!"
Su Man looked innocent, "Why should I apologize? I didn't curse or hit anyone, what did I do wrong?"
Mrs. Wang, who had witnessed the whole process, was also anxious. She had just entered to break up the fight, so her hair was disheveled and her clothes were messy. Now seeing Su Man still "making trouble", she angrily said, "Madam, this is the good daughter raised by your Yun family!"
The eldest lady hurriedly comforted her, "Madam Wang, don't be angry, it's all Yunman's fault."
She turned to Su Man, who was standing aside and didn't care about anything, and pushed her. "You better apologize to me right now, or I'll ask your father to beat you to death today!"
"I'm here to apologize on Yunman's behalf."
Azhi arrived at some point. He stood beside Suman with his hands behind his back, his stern face intimidating without even being angry.
Only then did Su Man realize that the boy was so tall when he stood up, so tall that she had to look up to see his eyes.
At that moment, Su Man realized something. She lowered her head and smiled helplessly.
Mrs. Wang was upset that her son had been beaten so badly, and she spoke in a rather unkind tone, asking, "Master Yin Zhi, you have no relationship with her, how can you stand in her place?"
"Yun Man is my future wife, so I can naturally take her place."
Although Ah Zhi's tone was calm, these words were like a thunderclap, making them dizzy.
The most surprised among these people was the eldest lady. She subconsciously denied it, "Impossible. My eldest daughter is already betrothed to the second son of the Wang family. How could she be your wife who has not yet been married?"
Ah Zhi glanced at the lady and asked, "Have you proposed?"
The lady is a joke.
Ah Zhi asked again, "Do you have a marriage certificate?"
Seeing that the lady was speechless, Ah Zhi raised the corner of his lips and smiled innocently, "If I remember correctly, some time ago the lady asked Yun Man to see the scholar of the Du family, and now she is asking Yun Man to see the second son of the Wang family..."
