Chapter 214: What I Saw on the Road (1)
"Oh, this is so boring!" Qianxue complained as she got into the carriage. "I always imagined that the journey would be full of wonderful things, with lots of new and interesting things to do. But when I actually set out on the journey, I realized that most of the time it was just boring and monotonous, and the scenery around me seemed to stay the same."
After hearing Qianxue's complaint, Qianyan sneered slightly and said teasingly: "Do you still want to go out riding now?"
Qianxue frowned and grumbled after hearing this, then she held Chu Ci's hand tightly and complained: "Sister-in-law, my butt hurts, it's so uncomfortable to ride a horse, this journey is so boring!"
Chu Ci looked at Qianxue, who looked distressed, and forced a smile. He deliberately said slowly, "Qianxue, how about this? How about we play some cards?"
"Maybe if I play for a while, I won't be so bored anymore, and I can kill some boring time on the road."
After hearing this, Qianxue was about to cry. She said pitifully, "Sister-in-law, you know my luck very well."
It turns out that Qianxue's card skills are actually pretty good.
But it was very strange. No matter what cards she played or how she played, she could only win one game.
Then all the rest are losses, and they are lost in various ways.
So, when Qianxue heard Chu Ci suggest playing mahjong, she suddenly became anxious.
With a chuckle, Qianyan broke down in an instant, "I'm sorry, I wanted to hold it back. But it's just too funny." Then there was a series of hearty laughter of "Hahahahahahahaha——".
Following Qianyan's lead, Chu Ci couldn't help himself. "Haha ...
"Let's go and see what's making people laugh up ahead." The Fifth Prince was also bored at the moment. When he heard Chu Ci and the others laughing so happily, his heart suddenly surged with emotion. So when the attendant left, he whispered again, "Go and see if Master Fan has arrived."
"Yes." The servant hesitated for a moment after hearing these words, but the master's order, no matter how strange it was, was still the master's intention, so he responded and jumped lightly off the carriage.
Unexpectedly, just as the servant jumped off the carriage and had not walked a few steps away, a sudden quarrel broke out, causing all the pedestrians to stop.
After all, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have caused a lot of controversy since ancient times.
When the young woman saw everyone stop, she seemed to have found support, and her voice became even louder. "Mother-in-law, how could you do this? You are so inhumane!"
"Is this a histrionic personality?" Chu Ci heard the voice that was obviously several degrees louder and simply lifted the curtain of the car.
Then the old man who was being accused looked shocked. "What are you talking about?"
However, the daughter-in-law became increasingly agitated: "You clearly know that my brother has been in trouble recently, and my parents have fainted from anxiety, but you are unwilling to lend some money to my brother to solve his urgent needs!"
"You...I...am not..." The mother-in-law became more and more anxious, but her words became more and more difficult to speak.
When the young daughter-in-law saw that her mother-in-law couldn't even speak clearly, a barely perceptible smile flashed across her eyes.
Then she continued, "Mother-in-law, you haven't been very kind to me on a daily basis. I accept all of this. After all, we are not related by blood."
"But after I married into the Liu family, I gave birth to children and took care of the household. Even if I didn't make any great contributions, I still worked very hard!"
"My family is just facing some minor difficulties. How can you be so cruel as to ask me to abandon them? It is really unreasonable of you to act like this!" There was some resentment and accusation in the daughter-in-law's voice.
Then he deliberately shouted loudly: "I want to go back to my mother's house!"
The mother-in-law finally became panicked and anxious. She grabbed her daughter-in-law's arm tightly. Her face flushed red, and the veins on her forehead were slightly prominent. She clenched her fists tightly, but she could only say this: "Don't talk nonsense! How can this be possible! How can I be so unreasonable? Don't talk nonsense here!"
This scene successfully caused misunderstanding among the onlookers.
One passerby couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my! This mother-in-law is really too much! She didn't care about her daughter-in-law's family when they were in trouble, and now she's preventing her from returning home. This is really too much."
Another passerby echoed, "That's right. How can you act like that?"
Someone took the lead, and some young women, as if seeing themselves in the past, also sighed and said: "How can you treat your daughter-in-law like this? It is only natural for a daughter-in-law to return to her parents' home at this time. It is really incomprehensible to stop her like this."
The mother-in-law stamped her feet in anger, her face flushed red as she shouted, "Nonsense, all nonsense. It's obviously your brother who's not doing his job well..."
However, before the mother-in-law could finish her words, she was interrupted again by her young daughter-in-law's scream. "You admit it, you deliberately didn't let me go back. How could you be so cruel? You don't even let me take care of my parents' affairs. You're too heartless!"
"I want to go back to my parents' home--" the young daughter-in-law yelled again.
Seeing this, Qianxue on the side could no longer bear it, "This mother-in-law is too much, I must go over and help this poor daughter-in-law."
Unfortunately, just as Qianxue was about to take action, Chu Ci, who was standing beside her, quickly stopped her.
Qianxue's face was suddenly filled with disbelief. Her eyes widened as she anxiously said, "Sister-in-law, why are you stopping me? Didn't you see how excessive the mother-in-law is? And how pitiful the daughter-in-law is? I want to help her."
Chu Ci didn't rush to explain, but just said calmly: "Qianxue, take a good look at the expression of that poor man."
Qianxue's voice unconsciously became loud due to her excitement, but Chu Ci did it on purpose. She secretly used her internal energy to clearly transmit her words to the ears of everyone present.
This also calmed down the originally excited Qianxue.
However, the young daughter-in-law, who thought her plan was about to succeed, suddenly felt a pang of fear in her heart. She did not expect that things would suddenly turn out like this.
But looking at the scrutinizing eyes of the people around her, she knew she had to continue acting.
So, she gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I want to go home."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly struggled to break free from her mother-in-law's tightly grasping hands, and then ran towards Chu Ci regardless of everything.
And while she was running hard, she was shouting at the top of her lungs: "Help! I'm not their daughter-in-law. They forced me to go home. Help! --"
"Sister-in-law?" Qianxue and Qianyan subconsciously looked at Chu Ci.
