In everyone's eyes, Qin Yining's practice was deviant and rebellious, especially daring to challenge her mother-in-law and asking her mother-in-law to ask Your Majesty to divorce her daughter-in-law. This was even more unheard of. Not to mention that she was defending her only position by her husband's side in front of everyone.
All the male guests were frowning in disdain at her jealousy and rudeness.
Many of the womenfolk were whispering and judging.
But although those women's words were full of disdain and contempt for Qin Yining's womanly virtues, they were vaguely envious in their hearts.
Because Qin Yining did what they didn't dare to do.
Those who were more meticulous would think even more deeply about it.
Why did Qin Yining have the courage to do this? Wasn't it because someone was backing her up?
Her father had just passed away, so who else would be able to support her?
It wasn't just one person who had this thought, including the Sun Clan and the Ma Clan, they also thought of Pang Xiao.
In the eyes of all the womenfolk, if it wasn't for her husband's instructions, which woman would dare to do this in public and annoy her husband's family?
The lively Hundred Flower Banquet quietly dispersed after a fierce face-slapping.
When the first guest left, a second one came. In less than an hour, everyone had already left, leaving only Qiu Feishan sitting in the corridor in the distance, enjoying the shade and eating snacks.
Yao Clan's entire body was trembling with anger, her face ashen.
She had just found Pang Xiao a concubine with good looks and good temperament, but Qin Yining had already messed things up like this. This woman didn't even care about her face and dared to challenge her in public!
If she didn't teach her a lesson today, how could she have a foothold in the circle of noblewomen in the future? Wouldn't the world know that she couldn't control her daughter-in-law!
"Kneel down for me!" Yao Clan violently smashed the teacup next to him. The broken pieces of the teacup splashed at Qin Yining's feet. If he continued to kneel like this, his knees would definitely be broken.
Before Qin Yining could do anything, Madam Ma stepped forward and slowly pulled the Yao Clan aside. She took Qin Yining's hand and led her to a shady spot under the grape trellis.
"Yi lass, did Dai Fu ask you to do what you did today? Dai Fu is really too much. He wants to do something, but he doesn't consider your situation. If you act like this, you will be criticized in the future. He won't be the one being criticized behind his back. "
In the face of such a gentle and considerate Mrs. Ma, Qin Yining felt uneasy. How could he bear to deceive her?
"Grandma, don't think so highly of me. I was the one who did it. It had nothing to do with Wang Ye. I can't blame Mother-in-law for being angry, and I can't blame others for criticizing me. I am indeed jealous. "
Qin Yining lowered his head. "It wasn't easy for Wang Ye and I to get to where we are today. We have been through so much together to become the perfect Wang Ye that we are today. None of those women have gone through a near-death experience. None of them have participated in Wang Ye's life, none of them have helped Wang Ye, and none of them love Wang Ye as much as I do. Yet, they want to pick up the ready-made fruit."
Qin Yining raised his head with a determined expression. There were tears in his eyes, and he said stubbornly, "They don't have the right to enjoy this fruit! Regardless of whether Wang Ye is perfect or not, he can become like this because I participated in his life. I have sacrificed so much, and Wang Ye is the perfect Wang Ye today. Why should I share such a good man with others? "
Qin Yining's words left Mrs. Ma speechless for a moment.
Was he criticizing her for being so willful? Or was he lecturing her for not being a woman?
But which madam in an ordinary family had suffered so much because of her husband's family?
Qin Yining said that other women didn't have the right to pick up the ready-made fruit. This was true. This was because her grandmother and the mother of the Yao Clan had always been in a position of protection. Only Qin Yining, a girl who was not even 20 years old, had always been with Pang Xiao.
Including this time when they were evacuating from the capital, it was also Qin Yining who protected them. She sent them out first, but she herself was trapped in a group of bandits.
It was obvious what those ferocious bandits would do to such a beautiful girl. If Pang Xiao hadn't arrived in time, things would have developed to a point of no return.
The Yao Clan wasn't standing far away, so they naturally heard Qin Yining's words clearly.
She pointed at Qin Yining with her pink-painted nails. "You thick-skinned vicious whore! How can you have the nerve to absolve yourself? Isn't it because you're thick-skinned and shameless? You didn't learn from female scholars. It's really bad for a girl like you to grow up in the wild. Without a good person to teach you, look at how arrogant you are! "
The Yao Clan's scolding was harsh, but Qin Yining didn't take it to heart. She didn't even listen to the content of the scolding and only treated it as a dog barking.
Mrs. Ma turned around and glared at the Yao Clan. "Shut up, don't talk so much."
"Mother! What kind of bewitching potion did she give you? Why do you still side with her and protect her after she did such a shameless thing? If you don't discipline her now, who knows what she'll do in the future. Maybe she'll strangle me, her mother-in-law, to death! "
"Enough! Do you think everyone is like you? "
The Yao Clan looked at Mrs. Ma in disbelief. For a moment, they were so angry that their hearts hurt and they couldn't speak.
Yao Chenggu strode over with a sullen face. "In any case, what the Qin Clan did today is too much. It's really shameful. How can there be a daughter-in-law who dares to talk back to her mother-in-law in public? "
Mrs. Ma said, "This is a matter between Dai Fu and Sister Yi. Can you two stay out of it?"
Yao Chenggu pulled a long face and said in a deep voice, "It's none of your business! If you side with an outsider again, I won't be polite to you! "
"Oh?" Mrs. Ma laughed. "You won't be polite to me?"
Yao Chenggu's body, face, and bones hurt from her laughter.
Yao Chenggu was afraid of Mrs. Ma, so he could only turn to Qin Yining. "Dai Fu isn't at home. Today, I'll make the decision to open the ancestral hall and divorce you! I'll explain to Your Majesty later. I think Your Majesty wouldn't want to see a daughter-in-law like you in Dai Fu's family! "
"Yao Chenggu, you're crazy!" Mrs. Ma was furious.
Qin Yining tilted his head. "Old Master, when you say open the ancestral hall, do you mean open the ancestral hall of your Yao Clan?"
Yao Chenggu's face was dark. "You …"
Yao Clan hurriedly said, "Of course, it's the ancestral hall of the Pang Family!"
"Oh?" Qin Yining smiled. "The Pang Family has withered. As far as I know, the only woman qualified to open the ancestral hall is me."
Yao Clan was flustered and exasperated. "Do you think I'm dead?!"
"Of course not. But who are you to open the ancestral hall of the Pang Family?"
"You!"
The biggest stain in Yao Clan's life was that they used dishonorable means to climb into Pang Zhongzheng's bed when he was drunk. They even almost lost their lives because of it. Mrs. Ma had poked her in the back countless times. As long as she made a mistake, she would beat her and scold her. Eight out of ten times, she would scold her for climbing into Pang Zhongzheng's bed.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yining, as her daughter-in-law, looked down on her!
"Look, look at what this b * tch is saying!" Yao Chenggu stomped his feet angrily.
Mrs. Ma also felt uncomfortable. But she didn't blame Qin Yining. She blamed the Yao Clan. If she had been upright and upright, how could she have been the subject of ridicule?
Yao Clan was so angry that they wanted to tear apart Qin Yining. Mrs. Ma said, "Enough. Haven't you lost enough face?!"
"Mother!" Yao Clan roared.
"As an elder, you should behave. Don't always bring those things you learned to the family. That's enough. Go back! "
Yao Clan suffered a great grievance. She was humiliated by Qin Yining, but her mother refused to stand up for her. The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. Tears fell down her face. She covered her face, turned around, and ran away.
Yao Chenggu fiercely dodged. He didn't dare to argue with Mrs. Ma. He was afraid that she would directly hit him. He could only point at Qin Yining and say, "When Dai Fu comes back, I will definitely ask for an explanation!"
Yao Chenggu said and left.
Yao Chenggu was a smart person. He knew what Qin Yining cared about the most. Qin Yining cared about Pang Xiao. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done such a thing today. Since she was a jealous woman, she was naturally worried that Pang Xiao would be annoyed.
However, Qin Yining had never been a vine that clung to men. She was a towering tree. She had her own opinions and the ability to survive. After sacrificing her body, mind, and even life, she hoped to be treated kindly. If she couldn't, she would rather not be treated.
However, although she was determined, she was still worried.
Yao Chenggu's words were more offensive than the Yao Clan's scolding of her a thousand times.
Mrs. Ma saw Qin Yining's expression and sighed. "Little Yi, you're a sensible person. I won't say anything unnecessary."
"Grandmother, I won't go against Old Master and Old Madam in the future either. It's really my fault today. I shouldn't have said such hurtful words. "
Qin Yining bowed to Mrs. Ma sincerely.
As the biological mother of the Yao Clan, it was impossible for Mrs. Ma not to feel uncomfortable when the Yao Clan's character was questioned. However, Qin Yining apologized so sincerely in front of her and even promised that she wouldn't do it again in the future. Mrs. Ma's heart ached even more.
"Okay, okay. Grandma knows that you're angry and have been forced into a corner. Even a rabbit will bite when it's desperate, right? Your mother-in-law took after her father. She was smart and opinionated since she was young. She knew what she wanted and she did it by hook or by crook. If you talk about the wrong things she did back then, as her mother, I'm really … It's also my fault. I didn't study much and didn't teach her well. "
"Grandmother, don't say that. There are too many temptations. After a long time, it's easy for her to be led astray. I can't blame you for that. "
Mrs. Ma shook her head and thought about how she had too many regrets in her life.
"Little Yi, that's all I'll be like this for the rest of my life. I'm not successful as a mother or a wife. Although I have a clear conscience and have no regrets, there are still some regrets that can't be made up for in a lifetime. Listen to me, don't leave any regrets. "Mrs. Ma patted the back of Qin Yining's hand and was about to go home.
Qin Yining was very upset. How did such a good Mrs. Ma end up with such a family?
