Hearing this, Jian Xiu couldn't help laughing.
However, she did not answer Zheng Guijun's question. Instead, she looked at the others and said:
"I'm sure you all saw what happened just now. If I hadn't dodged, Madam Sun would have ended up like me. I want to ask, is such a vicious old woman worthy of being an elder?"
As soon as Jian Xiu said this, Xiaohong beside her could no longer hold back and said loudly to the women watching in the same tone:
"You only know that our lady broke her fingers, but you don't know why our lady broke her fingers. The reason why our lady did this was because when our lady went to the border, she broke the fingers of our lady's mother."
"That's our Madam's elder, the mother who gave birth to her and raised her. How could she not be angry? You guys have been saying these days that our Madam has no respect for her elders. Is watching your own mother's fingers being broken off considered filial piety?"
"Not only that, but also our little master..."
Next, Xiao Hong told the story of what happened in Zhangjia Village one by one.
"If our wife hadn't returned in time, she might not have been able to see the people in Zhang's house, let alone her parents. In this case, do you still think our wife is unfilial?"
"Do you know what my wife went through on the frontier battlefield? She fought, she tried her best to save her child, she even risked her life just to save her child."
"But what did she get in return? Her family far away in Zhangjia Village was bullied by an outsider, and you heartless people were talking about her here."
"If it weren't for our wife who swore to the death to protect the territory of the Dashun Dynasty at the border, how could you have the peaceful life you have now? Don't you think that the emperor would casually issue an imperial decree to my wife?"
"No, that's because the emperor is wise. He can understand the hardships my wife has endured at the frontier. What about you? What are you doing?"
As she spoke more, Xiaohong's tears began to fall.
She felt sorry for her wife, as she had witnessed her returning from the battlefield covered in injuries.
But she ended up being talked about like this in the capital, the most prosperous place in the Dashun Dynasty. Thinking of this, she felt sorry for her wife.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu touched her head helplessly and whispered:
"Why didn't I notice you were so fond of crying before? In fact, I don't care what they are talking about. Life is about living for yourself, not for others."
"How does the saying go? Just follow your own path and let others talk! We just need to live our own lives well, and don't care too much about what others say!"
These words made everyone feel ashamed.
Just when everyone thought Jian Xiu would just end the matter like this, Jian Xiu suddenly looked at Zheng Guijun and asked:
"If I hadn't dodged just now, the tea would have been spilled on me. I would like to ask Madam Hou, what are you thinking?"
"You know very well that there will be a palace banquet in two days, and you also know that this palace banquet is a victory banquet. The military achievements of our county on the battlefield will naturally become the focus of the palace banquet."
"A lady of the first rank? Madam Hou? How can she be worthy of such a person with such a narrow mind? She is simply a disgrace to us women!"
Jian Xiu spoke these words mercilessly.
There isn't a single word of accusation in the words, yet every sentence is an accusation. This is the highest level of insult.
Looking at Zheng Guijun again, she was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick.
He pointed his index finger at Jian Xiu, who was unable to utter a word. He knew that what she was most proud of was her title of First-Rank Lady.
But what about now?
But this bitch said it so badly.
Thinking of this, it would be strange if she wasn't angry.
"I advise you to take your index finger back, because I can't guarantee what I will do!"
Jian Xiu looked at the index finger in front of her and said lightly.
Hearing this, Zheng Guijun was not afraid at all, but rather felt proud.
Because she knew very well that Jian Xiu would not dare to attack her in front of so many people.
Thinking of this, Zheng Guijun looked at Jian Xiu sinisterly again and continued:
"I'm pointing at you, so what? What? Do you still want to attack me, a lady of the first rank? Let me tell you, there are so many people here, if anything happens to me, you...ah..."
Before he finished speaking, he had already knelt down towards Jian Xiu.
All these actions seemed very unexpected, because no one made a move on her.
It was obvious that she knelt down on her own.
Jian Xiu was even more shocked, and she screamed, "Oh, Madam Hou, this is unacceptable, you kneel down in front of me like this..."
"Jian Xiu, you bitch, how dare you attack me?" Zheng Guijun gnashed her teeth when she reacted.
At this time, Xiao Tao hurried forward, quickly squatted down and helped Zheng Guijun up.
"Madam Hou, be careful..."
“Get lost!”
Before Xiao Tao could finish her words, she was pushed away by Zheng Guijun.
After he staggered to his feet, he raised the stick and hit Xiaotao with it.
"I'll beat you to death, you bitch, I'll beat you to death..."
“Ah…ah…”
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Jian Xiu, who was standing by, couldn't bear to see it anymore, so she stepped forward and grabbed his crutch.
"You can't even stand still, why are you taking advantage of a servant?"
After saying that, he ripped the crutch from her hand and then moved to the side without any hesitation.
"You...you bitch, you..."
"What about me? Let me tell you, you were the one who wanted to kneel down to me just now. I didn't do anything to you. Everyone around here should have seen it. You can't still wrongly accuse me!"
These words immediately left Zheng Guijun speechless.
Just when Zheng Guijun thought the matter was over, she heard Jian Xiu say:
"Servants are also human beings. Xiao Tao has been with you since she was a child and is loyal to you, but you treat her like this. You can see that you are vicious."
"As an outsider, I can't bear to see it, but what about you? Do you know how heavy your crutch was? How painful it would be if it hit someone?"
"You can only get respect from others when you respect others. I don't respect others, but I expect others to respect me? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"
"I often tell Fei Xuan, Fei Yi, and Fei Mo that this world is fair. One can only gain something if he works hard. There is no such thing as getting something for nothing. Today, I also want to tell you the same thing. I hope you can understand it and cherish it!"
