The Second lady admired her armor, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Mrs. Zhang, you've heard it. The Liu residence doesn't have the person you want. If you continue to be unreasonable and bully the second branch of the Liu residence, there will be no end to this. The Zhang family is considered a distinguished family. As for you? Who do you think you are? "
The Second lady's words angered Mrs. Zhang so much that her face turned green. She glared at the Second lady as if her eyes could spit venom.
She took a deep breath and secretly clenched her fists. Her long fingernails dug into the flesh of her palms, and there was a sinister smile on her face.
"Mrs. Meng, what do you mean? The person ran to your residence. You were the ones who abducted the young madam of the Zhang residence. Even if Liu Zhongqing was here, he would have to give us an explanation, much less your master. "
Mrs. Zhang mocked Gu Zhen in a strange tone. She purposely emphasized the word "Mrs. Meng".
Everyone in Hejian County knew about the Second lady, Gu Zhen's background.
Her original husband was Meng Zhan from Cangzhou. She was discontented and divorced her husband, Meng Zhan. She then turned around and married her brother-in-law. They had never seen such a shameless woman.
A good woman should not marry a second husband. Why didn't the Liu Clan capture a woman like Gu Zhen and drown her in the pond?
The Second lady, Gu Zhen, heard the way Mrs. Zhang addressed her. Her gloomy face darkened.
Mrs. Zhang thought she had the upper hand and could not help but feel proud.
"After a woman marries, she should treat her husband as her God and be faithful to him. This is the model of women and the first virtue of women. I heard that when Mrs. Meng was still in Cangzhou, she was discontented. Meng Zhan did not divorce you because he cared about the reputation of the two families. Instead, they separated. It's not that I want to talk too much, but Mrs. Meng should really read the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women and know what shame is. "
As soon as she said this, the entire room was silent.
Mrs. Hu secretly glanced at the Second lady. Her face was already extremely dark.
The Second lady took a sip of tea and suppressed the rising anger in her heart.
Madam Zhang continued, "That daughter-in-law of mine is disobedient and absconds without permission. Such a wicked woman has tarnished the Zhang family's hundreds of years of reputation. We will naturally capture her back and interrogate her. As for you, Lady Meng … let me give you a piece of advice. You're still a slut yourself. Don't worry about other people's business … Ah! "
The Second lady leaned against the table and threw the teacup in her hand at Mrs. Zhang's face. Seeing the tea and tea stains on Mrs. Zhang's face, the Second lady laughed heartily.
There was no sound in the room except for Mrs. Zhang's screams and the Second Lady's laughter that was as sweet as an oriole.
"I, Gu Zhen, was born into a truly prestigious family. When it comes to knowledge, it's not up to you, a girl from a poor family who has fallen from grace, to comment." The Second Madam took off her clothes and said arrogantly, "Zhang Zhaoshi, you are an orphaned daughter. Marrying Zhang Zhaoshi's only son is indeed a great achievement for you. She has a low status, so she feels inferior and lowly. She regards her husband as heaven and earth. I can understand that. After all, the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women is regarded as a standard by a woman who feels inferior and lowly. Do you think that I'm right? "
Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned fierce. Jiang Nongqin, who had sensed the killing intent, reacted immediately.
She went forward and captured Mrs. Zhang. The people from the Zhang residence saw that something was wrong and wanted to save her. They did not expect to be subdued by the Liu residence's servants.
"You came to our Liu residence to make trouble. Why didn't Mrs. Zhang investigate the situation of our Liu residence? Also, you have to remember one thing … "The Second lady was arrogant and domineering. She walked up to Mrs. Zhang and pinched her chin with her armored fingers.
"Call me Mrs. Liu. If you call me wrong, someone will die."
Mrs. Zhang was shocked. She immediately understood why the people she sent to the Liu residence to ask for Shangguan Wan had failed.
Hearing that the Second lady wanted to kill someone, she was shocked. Her heart thumped and her face turned pale.
"How dare you?"
She did not want to come and take Shangguan Wan herself, but Shangguan Wan left a divorce letter and ran away. It was a slap to Zhang Zhaoshi's face.
Zhang Zhaoshi could not bear it and came to take Shangguan Wan on New Year's Day. She also wanted to teach the Liu residence a lesson.
However, she forgot that no matter what kind of person she was, they were all bullsh * t in the face of absolute power!
Ever since the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women became popular in Hejian County, Gu Zhen was ostracized by a group of noble ladies. They avoided her in all activities.
However, these noble ladies also forgot that Gu Zhen always liked to stay at home and did not bother to communicate with them.
However, Gu Zhen did not show up for a long time, which gave everyone an illusion.
Liu She's wife, Gu Zhen, was a remarried woman and a dirty woman who had gone through two husbands. She was not qualified to be on equal footing with them.
The Second lady asked in surprise, "Why wouldn't I dare? I wonder who gave Mrs. Zhang the illusion that I don't dare to? "
After saying that, she suddenly pinched Mrs. Zhang's chin and forced her to come closer to her.
The words that made Mrs. Zhang's body turn cold came out of the Second lady's red and plump lips.
"You're just from a small family and your horizons are limited. You've read the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women and your already stupid brain has become even more stupid. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask your husband. Ask him, if I brought people to smash the Zhang residence's door, would he dare to fight back? If he dares to fight back, I, Gu Zhen, will write my name backwards! "
Letting go of Mrs. Zhang's chin, Gu Zhen took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her hands, as if she had touched something dirty.
She pretended to say unintentionally, "You're indeed from a poor family. You're so petty …"
Mrs. Zhang was so angry that her face turned green. However, Nongqin's hand was like an eagle's claw that held her tightly. She could not break free.
"Mrs. Zhang is so proficient in the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women. Can you tell me, if a woman's body is seen by a strange man, should she die as an apology?" The Second lady returned to her seat of honor and leaned lazily against the table. "I remember that before Mrs. Zhang got married, you made a living by sewing and often went out to deal with the merchants of the embroidery workshop. One year, you fell into the water and was rescued by a few passing villagers … Tsk tsk, I wonder how many green hats Mrs. Zhang has made your husband wear? "
The Second lady covered her mouth with her sleeve, her eyes filled with evil intentions.
"This matter can't be hidden. Tomorrow, I'll go to Mrs. Zhang's house and ask if a shameless woman like you should be drowned in the pond to preserve Mrs. Zhang's reputation. After all, starvation is a small matter, but losing your chastity is a big deal. Mrs. Zhang should die to prove her innocence. "
Mrs. Zhang's face had already turned pale. She was afraid that the Second lady would take her life.
Although she did not think that Gu Zhen would dare to do so, her own life was more important. She could not take the risk.
"Send the guest out!"
The Second lady's expression suddenly darkened. She waved her sleeve to send the guest out. Nongqin sent the distinguished Mrs. Zhang out as if she was catching a chick.
Madam Hu smiled and said, "Madam, you're really not afraid of trouble."
