Chapter 544: Great Shame and Humiliation
Jinshu told the truth about what happened to him.
"I just came out of Yujun Pavilion when I met Juying. When she saw me, she didn't say a word and started beating me. She also said that the master had changed his mind and that the lady had no one to back her up. Afterwards, she even wanted the servants of the Meng Mansion to arrest me. Fortunately, we were at the gate of Yujun Pavilion at that time, and Brother Tu Shi led people to stop the people from the Meng Mansion in time."
"As for Miss Meng, I don't know whether she is here or not, but when Juying hit me, she looked several times in the direction of the private room on the second floor of Daoxiangzhai across the street."
Daoxiangzhai is considered an upper-middle-class restaurant in the capital, but ordinary people cannot afford it.
Juying looked over there frequently, thinking that Meng Xinyue was also there.
In this way, Song Yuntang had a plan in mind.
She stood up.
"Xia Ning, call a few people to follow me, Jin Shu should follow too. We should fight back the way they attacked us."
It is dinner time now. Yujun Pavilion is in East City, not too far from home. I guess Meng Xinyue hasn't left yet.
Some grudges are better taken on the same day.
It changes the taste one day later.
Since she came to the capital, she has never fought in public. Did those people think that she could only hide behind a man and cry?
Didn’t A Rao say that everyone in Beijing is waiting to laugh at her?
Today she wants to let these people know that no matter if she has a man's support or not, she will not let anyone bully her.
Xia Ning responded and asked someone to go.
A group of people came to Daoxiangzhai in a grand manner in a horse-drawn carriage.
Song Yuntang got off the carriage wearing a veiled hat and led the maids and servants directly into the lobby of Daoxiangzhai.
Seeing that the newcomers were coming with great momentum, the shopkeeper stepped over the waiter and blocked their way.
"Madam, are you here for dinner?"
Song Yuntang directly stated his purpose.
"Is Miss Meng still in Daoxiangzhai?"
The shopkeeper looked at the servant beside him, then turned to look at her.
"I wonder what this lady wants to see Miss Meng about?"
Song Yuntang's voice was a little cold.
"Miss Meng's maid hit my maid, and I came here to seek justice from her."
Hearing her name, the shopkeeper didn't dare to provoke her and saluted with his fists.
"Please wait for a moment, my lady. I will send someone to notify Miss Meng right away."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Please tell Miss Meng that if you dare to do something, you must take responsibility for it. Otherwise, you are a coward!"
The noise downstairs was heard by the people upstairs without any notification.
Meng Xinyue is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and is a very proud person. Since Song Yuntang has said so, it would be somewhat disgraceful for her not to show up.
"The Lady of Le'an County is so arrogant!" She led the maid down from upstairs, "My maid was just teaching a slave who had made a mistake in my courtyard a lesson on my behalf, do you want to beat me up?"
There was hatred on her face.
This bitch!
After the previous banquet at the Prime Minister's Residence, Lord Yan submitted a letter of impeachment, accusing her of taking human life lightly and not considering the lives of servants seriously.
It's just a weed.
If he doesn't obey, what will happen if I beat him or kill him?
Which family in Beijing doesn’t have a few lives on their hands?
But the impeachment was directed at her.
Isn't it just to target her?
As a result, my father was reprimanded by His Majesty for not educating his daughter well. When he came back from the palace, he was furious and locked her up in the ancestral hall for a month, causing her to suffer a lot.
Song Yuntang refused to give in.
"Jinshu is now my lady's person, not a slave that Miss Meng can kill at will. Miss Meng doesn't take me seriously. Could it be that she thinks that your title as a young lady in the Shangshu Mansion can surpass that of the lady personally appointed by His Majesty?"
Meng Xinyue sneered.
"Please don't change the subject here, County Lady. Even if Ah Si has a new master, it cannot cover up the fact that she once made a mistake. My maid is standing up for my master, so I'll beat her. What do you think?"
Under the veil, Song Yuntang's voice was emotionless.
"If you hit someone, you have to pay him back."
Meng Xinyue raised one corner of her lips, with a tone of gloating.
"I heard that Lord Xu has been hanging out with the other officials in the court at places of entertainment recently. I guess he carries the scent of other women on him when he goes home at night. Instead of yelling at me here, you should go back and think of a way to win Lord Xu's heart."
She moved closer to Song Yuntang.
"So what if you are the county lady? If your family has no one to support you, and your husband doesn't love you, you are just an empty shell. Although I don't have a title, I have the support of the Shangshu Mansion, so I am not someone you can mess with."
Song Yuntang narrowed his eyes and slowly tightened his hands under his sleeves.
Although she didn't want to admit it, what Meng Xinyue said was the truth. Her current position in Beijing was certainly earned through her own efforts.
But if her husband doesn’t take her seriously and her family can’t support her, her situation will be awkward.
But there is one thing that Meng Xinyue said that is wrong. She is not a woman who completely depends on men to survive.
It is easy to have a man, but she can also support herself when he is not around.
He raised his hand and made a gesture, and then he saw servants rushing in from outside the door.
Meng Xinyue looked at this situation and frowned.
"Song Yuntang, are you sure you want to attack me in public? Have you thought about the consequences?"
Song Yuntang said lazily, "Every wrong has its perpetrator. Today, Miss Meng's maid Juying beat up my people. I will ask Juying to pay her back. Xia Ning, catch the person first, and then we will fight outside to avoid damaging Daoxiangzhai's things."
It's not that he is worried about damaging Daoxiangzhai's things, but he wants to give the other person a taste of his own medicine.
Juying was the one who beat her in front of everyone, so when she came back, she naturally had to do it in front of everyone.
"Yes." Xia Ning pointed in the direction of Juying, "Catch her."
When the owner of Daoxiangzhai saw that Song Yuntang had nothing to do with his shop, he stepped back, acting as if it had nothing to do with him.
He is just a small fry.
There were two women in front of him. One was the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and the other was a county princess personally appointed by His Majesty. She was also the wife of a minister whom His Majesty valued. Neither of them was someone he could afford to offend.
Juying was so scared that she shrank behind Meng Xinyue.
"No, Miss, please save this slave."
Meng Xinyue protected Juying and looked at Song Yuntang with anger on her face.
"Song Yuntang, do you really want to go against me in public?"
Song Yuntang ignored her.
"Xianing, make a quick decision."
Xia Ning nodded, stepped forward and pushed Meng Xinyue away, asked the servants to take Juying to the outside of Daoxiangzhai, and in front of people on the street, asked Jinshu to slap her back one by one.
In the end, Juying was beaten black and blue and thrown to the ground like a piece of rag.
"If Miss Juying needs treatment, you can go to Xinglin Clinic for free." Song Yuntang said coldly, and led everyone away in a leisurely manner.
Meng Xinyue was left standing in front of Daoxiangzhai with a gloomy face, the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled.
She just felt that what happened just now was Song Yuntang rubbing her face on the ground.
For her, it was a great humiliation!
Meng Xinyue was angry and aggrieved. She glared hatefully in the direction where Song Yuntang left, then asked someone to help Juying up and lead her towards the palace.
