Lady Hou's face turned green. Her fingers trembled as she plucked the cabbage leaves, her usually dignified and elegant demeanor nearly crumbling. Her voice, sharp with anger, rang out: "Did the people from the Jingzhao Prefecture go to invite them? Why aren't you driving this rabble away...?"
Before he could finish speaking, a rotten egg was thrown at him.
Lady Hou was startled and instinctively dodged, so the rotten egg hit the old lady.
The old lady trembled violently, her face deathly pale as she nearly fainted, her mouth trembling as she repeated, "Outrageous...outrageous!"
"Madam!" Two old women supported her from both sides, preventing her from fainting on the spot.
Shen Tangning and Chi Yan arrived late, only to witness this spectacular scene.
"..."
The couple looked at each other, and Shen Tangning's eyes flickered slightly as she covered her lips and coughed softly.
Chi Yan immediately had a bright idea. He rushed towards the old lady and cried out at the top of his lungs, "Grandmother, please don't kick your grandson out! We're not separating the family anymore, they're trying to force their grandson to his death!"
Those outside immediately sprang into action: "Chi Yan is out!!!"
"Good, this coward has finally come out!"
The crowd was in high spirits and grabbed whatever they were holding, throwing it at Chi Yan!
Chi Yan held the old lady tightly, calling out to his grandmother with heart-wrenching cries, while subtly shielding her in front of him. Thus, the old lady became a human shield, protecting him from everything.
The servants, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch the old lady get hurt, so they rushed over in a panic to shield her. This actually benefited Chi Yan, who was heavily protected behind them.
"Grandmother, don't shield me!" Chi Yan shouted angrily, "What kind of skill is it for you to bully my grandmother? If you have the guts, come at me, Chi Er!"
"You scoundrel, you scoundrel..." The old lady didn't dare to move at all, only moved her lips, rolled her eyes and said weakly.
I don't even know who they're cursing.
provocative!
That's absolutely provocative!
The people outside were so angry they gritted their teeth and smashed the objects even harder.
As for why they didn't rush up and beat people up?
Firstly, there were servants stopping them, and secondly, these people knew that smashing things would at most result in a verbal reprimand, but if they started fighting, the situation would be completely different!
Shen Tangning stood at the door, unable to help but cover the corners of her upturned mouth.
That person is quite shrewd; it's a good thing he didn't bring his mother-in-law over.
"Quickly, help the old lady inside!"
Lady Hou finally came to her senses and gritted her teeth, saying, "Close the gate!"
The chaos continued until officials from the Jingzhao Prefecture arrived, the troublemakers at the gate were taken away, and only then did peace return to normal.
Inside Furong Residential Hospital, the doctor was examining the old lady. He breathed a sigh of relief: "The old lady was just a little frightened, but she was not injured."
Lady Hou's tightly furrowed brows relaxed: "That's good."
If something were to happen to the person, she would really have a hard time explaining it to the Marquis.
Coming to her senses, the old lady's gaze swept across the crowd, then fixed intently on Chi Yan, and her first words were:
"We must split up! This family must be divided!"
