Chapter 18 Counterattack
"I can't argue with her!" Jiang Zhaoyue didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
"You can do it!" Pei Heng said with a proud face, "Second sister-in-law, you are the smartest and most capable. Please help Fifth Sister. She is crying."
Jiang Zhaoyue ruthlessly refused: "I can't help."
Pei Heng's mouth pouted and he was about to cry.
"Don't cry, this trick won't work on me."
"Hmph!" Pei Heng stopped begging and turned to Aunt Tian, raising his chubby little hand: "If you hit Fifth Sister again, I'll hit you. I'll use my sepak takraw to make you cry. Hey, where's my sepak takraw?"
"Fifth Master, the sepak takraw ball is there." Xiangqiao pointed to the corner of the wall.
Pei Heng hurried over, picked up the sepak takraw, and ran over, holding the sepak takraw over his head. He said angrily, "If you dare to hit my fifth sister, I will hit you and make you cry!"
Aunt Tian was so focused on beating Pei Sijing that she didn't notice a sepak takraw ball had entered the yard. Now, seeing Pei Heng trying to hit her with the sepak takraw ball, she was speechless.
Pei Heng also saw that Aunt Tian was not afraid of him at all, so he quickly brought up some important figures: "I also want to tell my father and mother."
Aunt Tian was also not afraid at all: "Oh, Fifth Master, please stop making trouble here. The Duke and his wife know that I teach the child in this way, and they will only praise me for teaching the child correctly."
Pei Heng was speechless.
Xiangqiao and other maids didn't say anything.
Pei Sijing did not refute.
Jiang Zhaoyue really didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but Aunt Tian's arrogant look reminded her of a very good friend in her previous life who was a supportive brother, who was exploited by her parents and eventually died suddenly at work.
She couldn't help but ask, "Really?"
Upon hearing the voice, Aunt Tian and others turned to look at Jiang Zhaoyue.
Jiang Zhaoyue had been playing sepak takraw for a long time and was really tired. She walked to the stone table next to her and sat down. "Auntie Tian, do you know what the fifth sister's status is, and what your status is?"
"Si Jing is the fifth daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and I am her biological mother." Aunt Tian said.
Jiang Zhaoyue was born under the red flag, grew up in the spring breeze, and was also the successor of socialism. He believed in equality for all and despised concubines.
But she lived in the Jin Dynasty, which emphasized the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and between wives and concubines.
She couldn't change anything, so she decided to use it to do some good things. She shook her head and said, "No, no, no, Aunt Tian, you are wrong. Fifth sister is the biological daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, and you are the Duke of Zhenguo's concubine." She emphasized the word "concubine".
It is said that Jiang Zhaoyue, the second wife, is a bit clueless. So when Aunt Tian beat Pei Sijing and was seen by Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Heng, she was not panicked at all and even talked to fool them.
I didn't expect Jiang Zhaoyue to say such organized words.
She was a little dazed for a moment.
Pei Heng didn't understand the hidden meaning of his second sister-in-law's words, but he saw that Aunt Tian had retreated a little. He ran to Jiang Zhaoyue with his short legs and echoed, "Yes!"
Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at Pei Sijing, who had been looking down, and said, "Fifth sister should also understand this principle."
Pei Sijing was shocked.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Aunt Tian again: "It's just that Fifth Sister recognizes you as her biological mother and is willing to listen to you, so you can show off in front of her. Otherwise, if she casually says a few words in front of mother or father, Aunt Tian, you will be in trouble."
Aunt Tian knew all of this, but when she heard Jiang Zhaoyue say it, she felt guilty and said helplessly: "I am her biological mother, she is..."
"She is still your biological daughter. You don't act like a mother, so why do you ask her to act like a daughter?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Aunt Tian was speechless.
Jiang Zhaoyue had just heard Aunt Tian scold Pei Sijing for being incompetent. She probably felt that Pei Sijing didn't get the face she deserved in front of Pei Maokun or Wang Shi, so she said, "To be frank, I'm just a rat in the gutter, I don't have any skills at all. What qualifications do I have to ask my child to become the king of the mountain?"
Aunt Tian's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Fifth sister." Jiang Zhaoyue called.
Pei Sijing looked over.
Only then did Jiang Zhaoyue see her appearance clearly.
He looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with a small face that was slightly chubby.
Although his eyes were tearful, he looked inexplicably heroic, which was the look she liked.
She said, "When parents love their children too much, it's called spoiling; when children are too filial to their parents, it's called foolish filial piety. The former harms both themselves and their children, while the latter harms both themselves and their parents."
Pei Sijing's eyes froze.
"People must first have themselves, and then they can have parents, partners, and children." Jiang Zhaoyue seemed to be talking to Pei Sijing, but in fact she was also saying this to her deceased best friend: "Without myself, parents, partners, and children will also be gone. There will be nothing left."
Pei Sijing looked straight at Jiang Zhaoyue, tears slowly gathering in her eyes, and then they fell down in strings like beads with broken string.
"I believe you know what to do." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Sijing pursed her lips.
Jiang Zhaoyue stood up and said, "Brother Heng, let's go."
Pei Heng was young after all, and didn't understand what was going on: "But Fifth Sister——"
"Let's go." Jiang Zhaoyue grabbed Pei Heng's collar and dragged him out.
Xiangqiao and other maids hurried to follow.
"Fifth sister, fifth sister..." Pei Heng shouted.
"Shut up!" Jiang Zhaoyue let go of Pei Heng.
Pei Heng raised his little face and said, "Auntie Tian is going to beat Fifth Sister."
"No." Jiang Zhaoyue said, "I have already convinced your fifth sister."
"Convinced?"
"right."
"But I didn't understand anything." Pei Heng told the truth.
Jiang Zhaoyue was also worried about something happening, so he said, "Let's go climb a tree and take a look."
"What tree are you climbing?" Pei Heng was puzzled.
"Hush." There was a crooked tree next to the Pear Blossom Garden. If you climb up, you can see what's going on inside the Pear Blossom Garden. Jiang Zhaoyue saw it when she and Pei Heng walked over just now. Now she climbed up with her skirt lifted.
"Second Madam, be careful." Xiang Qiao had seen Jiang Zhaoyue's rebellious behavior many times and didn't find it strange at all. She just reminded her to be careful.
Pei Heng's maids were already surprised to see Jiang Zhaoyue playing sepak takraw with Pei Heng. Now when they saw Jiang Zhaoyue climbing a tree, they were so shocked that they were speechless.
"Hand Heng'er over here." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Yes." Seeing that the maids did not move, Xiang Qiao took the rattan ball from Pei Heng's arms, put it aside, hugged his fat body, and lifted it up.
Jiang Zhaoyue reached out to pull Pei Heng, and couldn't help but complain: "You are so heavy."
"I eat a lot." Pei Heng answered while standing on the tree trunk.
By the time Pei Heng's maid reacted, Pei Heng and Jiang Zhaoyue had already sat on the crooked tree, and they were immediately shocked.
"Don't worry, I will protect him." Jiang Zhaoyue hugged Pei Heng tightly.
Pei Heng was very excited to be sitting so high up and being hugged by his second sister-in-law.
"Hold on tight and look forward," Jiang Zhaoyue reminded.
Pei Heng looked forward and saw Pei Sijing and Aunt Tian: "Five——"
"Shut up." Jiang Zhaoyue whispered.
Pei Heng immediately covered his mouth with his two chubby hands and looked into the pear blossom garden with his black eyes blinking.
Aunt Tian thought Jiang Zhaoyue and the others had completely left, and snorted with laughter: "I thought they could do something, but they just said a few words and left. Sijing, I'm telling you, you must behave well in front of your mother and father, and strive for more rewards for your cousin and the others—"
Pei Sijing suddenly turned to look at Aunt Tian and replied neatly, "Dream on."
"What did you say?" Aunt Tian couldn't believe it.
"I said you are dreaming!" Pei Sijing slowly stood up and faced Aunt Tian.
"You're crazy. Do you know that if your uncle and cousin become capable, you will also enjoy the good life in the future?"
"Enjoy yourself?" Pei Sijing smiled. "When you were in the boudoir, they didn't love you one bit. You were a concubine in the Zhenguo Mansion. All they thought about was how to get close to father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister, and second sister. Did they ever care about whether you were living well in the mansion?"
Aunt Tian said firmly: "They are doing great things."
Pei Sijing raised her voice: "Their biggest goal is to suck your blood!"
Aunt Tian was unwilling: "Pei Sijing, is this how you say your uncle and cousin?"
"Yes, you have given half your life to them and got nothing in return. Now let me continue to give for them, don't even think about it!" Pei Sijing has seen her aunt save money and save money for her uncle and cousin since she was a child. She saw her aunt asking her father to promote her uncle and cousin. She saw her aunt... She felt really distressed.
She really feels sorry for her aunt.
She hoped her aunt would stop treating her uncle and cousin like this; it wasn't worth it.
But it's of no use.
She had no choice but to be more obedient, more well-behaved, and nicer to her aunt.
The result was that it gradually encouraged the aunt's arrogance.
Until today, my second sister-in-law appeared.
The second sister-in-law said that she was foolishly filial and would harm her aunt.
My second sister-in-law said that people must first have themselves, and then they can have parents, partners, and children, otherwise there will be nothing.
She suddenly realized that she was being foolishly filial and had been following her aunt's old path. She had completely lost herself and would lose her parents, partner and children in the future.
Her chaotic and dull days suddenly became clear.
Her heart was filled with emotion and joy, and her blood was boiling. Suddenly, she had the courage to confront her aunt.
"You unfilial daughter, I will beat you to death today!" Aunt Tian raised the feather duster angrily and hit her again.
Pei Sijing did not dodge as usual, but this time she did not endure it. Instead, she raised her hand and grabbed the feather duster.
Aunt Tian was stunned and asked, "Pei Sijing, what are you going to do?"
