Chapter 410 Madam Dou
Nanny Qin Qing subconsciously supported her master and looked around calmly, wondering where to go in case of any accident.
"Oh!"
Madam Dou sneered, "Madam Xu probably doesn't know me, right?"
Xu Zhichun shook his head: "I don't think I've ever seen Madam. May I ask who Madam is——"
Madam Dou sneered: "My last name is Dou."
"sinus?"
"I'm from Qingyang County."
Xu Zhichun was still puzzled.
When Qingyang County was mentioned, she reflexively thought of the Qi family, which had many disputes with her own family. Where did the Dou family come from?
Could it be that he was standing up for the Qi family?
After all, the Qi family has suffered the consequences of their own actions time and time again, and now they are completely unable to move forward. It is hard to say what will happen if a relative who is not afraid of death and likes to stand up for the weak comes and continues to argue with them.
Madam Dou's face darkened, "You!"
She felt humiliated.
She felt that she had made her point so clearly and pointedly, but Xu Zhichun was still confused. Didn't he take her seriously at all?
"Mrs. Xu is really generous."
Nanny Qin Qing also felt that this person was being unreasonable and said with a smile, "My wife has always been very generous."
Madam Dou could no longer bear it and sneered, "What a broad-minded person! You're always trying to damage someone's reputation and ruin their future. What kind of broad-mindedness is that?"
Xu Zhichun's eyes darkened. "Please tell me, Madam Dou, this is too harsh a statement. I cannot take it seriously."
"Madam Xu dares to do it but is not willing to take responsibility for it. Isn't that a joke? What did my son Dou Zhongli do wrong? He clearly got a good score in the Tongshi exam but was declared a failure. It's all thanks to Madam Xu's family. How dare he not take responsibility for it!"
Xu Zhichun suddenly realized that it was the Dou family.
Madam Dou understood what she meant. It was all because Dou Jin and Dou Quan, two servants of the Dou family, took the initiative to plot against their own Mingxuan in order to please their master. Dou Zhongli was innocent and did nothing and knew nothing, so Madam Dou had the right to cry out for injustice.
The main point is that forced innocence is also innocence!
Xu Zhichun: "So the lady is Dou Tongsheng's mother. Madam Dou blames me for being suspicious. The government's verdict is clear, Madam Dou, you should take a closer look. Dou Tongsheng failed to discipline his servants, which was a dereliction of duty, and he was just reprimanded. As for his failure in the Tongshi exam, that was the decision of the school. I guess he didn't perform well this time. What does it have to do with our family? We are just a small farming family. Do we really have the power to interfere with the results of the Tongshi exam?"
"Mrs. Dou really thinks too much."
"Humph, I've heard that Madam Xu is very eloquent. Her reputation is well-deserved."
"Madam Dou has misunderstood. I must clarify things. If Madam Dou refuses to listen, I have no other options."
"My son has had a bad year, encountering evildoers. I just think that good things will come to those who wait. There's still a long way to go, so we'll see!"
"This treacherous villain, are you referring to those two despicable servants, Dou Jin and Dou Quan?"
"you--"
Mrs. Dou glared at Xu Zhichun hatefully, then left angrily with the nanny and maidservants around her.
Xu Zhichun took a look and slowly followed Nanny Qin Qing to catch up.
Nanny Qin Qing said worriedly, "Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Qi are cousins, and Dou Tongsheng is Mrs. Qi's nephew. Mrs. Fan came all the way here to invite you, I'm afraid..."
Xu Zhichun nodded gently: "I thought of that, but I never thought it would be because of this."
In the banquet hall, Mrs. Fan was chatting and laughing with three or five other ladies and young ladies, and three or four young ladies in their teens, dressed in jewels and jade, were playing Go on the other side.
When Xu Zhichun and his servant entered, the maid hurried to report. Madam Fan, as the host, greeted them with a smile. The others had heard of Madam Shanci's name but had never seen her. They all greeted her politely, and some of them secretly watched her.
Although Madam Dou looked indifferent, she did not show any abnormality, as if she was not the one who had just had a quarrel with Xu Zhichun.
Xu Zhichun responded with a smile while secretly being on guard, thinking that even if someone "accidentally" spilled a pot of tea on her today, she would definitely not go downstairs to change her clothes.
Just say goodbye.
No one would dare to let her go to a remote place without anyone by her side.
But she never expected that when the group was enjoying the flowers in the garden, a crazy woman suddenly rushed over from nowhere and went straight to Xu Zhichun, waving a shining knife in her hand and slashing at Xu Zhichun fiercely, cursing incoherently.
Everyone was frightened and screamed and dodged in panic.
In the chaos, someone stepped heavily on Xu Zhichun's skirt and tripped her, causing her to fall to the ground.
The next second, a bright knife flashed before his eyes.
"Bitch, give my daughter back! Give my daughter back!"
Xu Zhichun dodged in a panic, "Swish!" Half of his sleeve was cut by the blade, his arm was stinging, and a line of blood oozed out silently.
“Ah! Ah!”
"Help! Help! Wuuwuwu!"
"Madam! Madam!"
"Kill you! I'm going to kill you, hahahaha!"
"Quick! Take her down, catch her!"
The crazy woman screamed and cursed as she chased Xu Zhichun to kill him. She pushed and tripped the young lady, who became so weak that her legs went limp and cried for help in panic. The maids and servants screamed and wanted to control the situation but were afraid to do so, and the scene became even more chaotic.
Nanny Qin Qing, who was nearly knocked down and blocked by the chaotic crowd, finally ran towards Xu Zhichun. The embarrassed Xu Zhichun grabbed the wrist of the crazy woman who was stabbing him with a knife.
The tip of the knife was shaking, and Xu Zhichun's whole body was shaking as well.
When the maidservant beside Madam Dou screamed and fell down, Xu Zhichun could no longer withstand the force of the impact. The tip of the knife stabbed down, and she just managed to avoid it by moving her head to the side, and the sharp thin blade pierced her shoulder.
Xu Zhichun groaned in pain. Nanny Qin Qing screamed in fear, "Madam!" She pushed the crazy woman away and helped Xu Zhichun up.
The servants of the Fan family finally rushed forward and caught the crazy woman with all their might.
The mad woman struggled desperately, glaring at Xu Zhichun fiercely while crying and laughing, "Kill! Kill! Give me back my daughter's life! Give me back my daughter's life!"
Madam Fan's face turned pale as she scolded, "Why don't you take this crazy woman away? What's wrong with you? How did you let her escape? Go get a doctor."
Madam Dou snorted and sneered, "How strange! This crazy woman is only staring at Madam Xu, regardless of others. Could it be that Madam Xu has done too many bad things?"
Xu Zhichun covered the bleeding wound on his shoulder with a handkerchief. It was so painful and the red was so glaring.
"Madam Dou, I've told you many times that your son's failure to pass the exam was nothing more than a failure of performance. I truly don't have the power to dictate the academic decisions. If you're wronged, it's my brother-in-law who's wronged. Your son's servant drugged him, and he nearly missed the exam. Have I ever blamed your family?"
"Those two servants of yours were imprisoned by the county magistrate because of this. Could it be that Madam Dou feels sorry for them?"
The crowd was shocked.
I was stunned for a moment.
What does that mean? What's going on?
