Chapter 18：

Early in the morning, before the morning mist cleared, a woman knelt in front of the gate of the Wang family.

The royal family is dignified, with many eldest sons and grandchildren, and needs nearly ten carts of supplies every day. At the half-open back door, the manager Zhuangzi who was in charge of delivering fresh meat and vegetables was talking in a low voice with the woman in charge inside the door.

Suddenly there was an exclamation at the front door, and someone shouted. "The fourth aunt of the third room is kneeling at the front door..."

The man went to report while talking.

The news quickly spread to the whole mansion through Sanfang, and within a short time, everyone knew that the fourth aunt who Sanfang married was kneeling in front of the gate of the Wang family.

The old lady of the third room was so angry that she slammed her crutches. With the identity of the aunt, she would not show up, and finally assigned her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang Si, to get rid of the concubine.

The nobles in Beicheng lived together, and when the Fourth Mrs. Wang came out, there were already some inquiring people outside the Wang family's gate.

"Fourth sister, what are you doing?"

The cold stone slab was piercingly chilly, and Wang knelt without moving, her heart was colder than her body.

The ranking of the royal family is divided into men and women, men are judged by men, and girls are judged by girls.

The Wang family has been underestimated by the Wang family for many years, even though she has a heart to fight, but the cowardice and slavishness in her bones unconsciously resurfaced when the incident happened.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I... I'm here to beg my mother to let my Pingniang go..."

Fourth Mrs. Wang walked down the steps and motioned to the woman next to her to forcefully pull Mrs. Wang.

"A family of flesh and blood, there is nothing we can't talk about. If there is something wrong with your Pingniang, how can we sit idly by and ignore it. If you say that the Zhao family is not a good match, you will not listen. Let's go in and talk about it. Give Pingniang justice."

Two strong women came over, their faces full of flesh and eyes showing a fierce look. Since the Wang family decided to tear themselves apart with the Wang family, they would naturally not be completely unprepared.

She didn't know when there was an extra pair of scissors in her hand, which was placed around her neck.

"Don't come here!"

Fourth Mrs. Wang was startled, and took a few steps back in horror, "You...why are you crazy?"

"I beg my mother to spare my Pingniang, don't let Pingniang marry into the Zhao family. I beg my mother to let my son go, don't ruin my son's future. The unfilial girl is willing to be an ox or a horse in this life to repay her mother's kindness, and to be a straw in the next life." Ring continues to reciprocate."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's obvious that you are the ones who want to marry a daughter, and your son committed a crime in the academy..."

Mrs. Wang continued to kowtow as if she hadn't heard of it, "Fourth sister-in-law, I beg you. Go and tell mother that my Pingniang doesn't have that kind of luck, and she can't climb up to Mr. Zhao. I beg mother, for the sake of my filial piety for many years, please let me go. My Pingniang has a way out!"

The onlookers began to discuss in twos and threes, could it be that the news that the Ye family wanted to marry the Zhao family was not the Ye family's intention, but the Wang family's connection. If this is the case, the Wang family is too dishonest.

Mrs. Wang Si was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about! The marriage was discussed between your Ye family and the Zhao family, so what does it have to do with our Wang family?"

This concubine's sister-in-law really thought that if she got married, she would turn the world upside down!

"Fourth sister-in-law, my Pingniang is still young, and the master and I want to take care of her for two more years. Please tell my mother, take pity on my Pingniang, don't let her marry so early..."

She cried so heartbroken that the listener was moved.

Fourth Mrs. Wang winked at a woman, and the woman hurried back to report to the third old lady.

"Fourth sister, what are you talking about. We really don't know about this matter. My mother also said that you and your wife are confused. There is no reason to marry your daughter off in such a hurry."

"Fourth aunt, there is a **** in your head. You are also a mother. If your daughter is like my Pingniang, who is pinching her younger brother's future and forcing her to marry a man who is good enough to be her grandfather, what should you do?" how?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

It turned out that Ye's eldest son was kicked out of Yuqing Academy because of such an inside story. This Wang family has a century-old noble status, but they do such low-level things, they really know people, know their faces, but don't know their hearts.

Fourth Mrs. Wang was furious, "Fourth sister, what are you talking nonsense about? Our Wang family has raised you for many years, and found a good marriage for you. Now that your wings are hardened, there is no reason to bring bad luck to your mother's family."

Mrs. Wang wept bitterly, and her hand holding the scissors shook violently. "I knew you wouldn't recognize me...I'm a concubine of the Wang family. When I was not married, my life was worse than that of a respectable girl in the mansion. I think that the Wang family has raised me for many years, and I will remember this kindness no matter what. But my sons and daughters are the flesh and blood of the Ye family, not the servants of the Wang family... Their fault is that they have a mother like me, and they are despised by others, and they can be beaten and sold if they want to..."

This is a heavy word.

If it wasn't for the cold heart, no married woman would dare to confront her natal family like this.

Mrs. Wang Si was very anxious, and regretted that she should come out on her own. She looked inside the door frequently, but there was no one in sight, and she probably didn't want to be involved in such a bad thing.

The Wang family suddenly let go of her hair bun, "Since the Wang family is determined to sell my daughter and persecute my son. I... I will treat it as if I have lost my mother's family!"

When the scissors went down, half of the blue hair was broken. With another cut, the black hair was cut off at the ears. The black hair was scattered all over the ground, Wang stuck the scissors on the ground, and kowtowed three times to the gate of Wang's house.

"The unfilial queen Mei cut off her hair today to repay her kindness. From now on, she will not be born as a Wang family, and will die as a ghost of the Wang family!"

She stood up with difficulty, Qi Er's disheveled hair was blown away by the cold wind, there was no dignity at all. But no one made a sound of ridicule, they all took the initiative to make way for her.

Out of the crowd, she saw her daughter.

"Pingniang." Her whole body was trembling, and her lips were trembling too. "Mom won't drag you down anymore..."

Ye Ping stepped forward and helped her crumbling body. Then he put the hood of the cloak on her and fastened the straps again. "The elders are not kind, how can the children and grandchildren be filial. You still have your father, and you still have us."

Wang hugged her daughter and cried loudly.

Ye Ping didn't know that ever since their siblings left Yuqing Academy, the entire academy had exploded. The conversation between her and Mrs. Hu went viral, and became famous for a while, with mixed reviews.

At this time, many people began to point fingers at her.

"This girl from the Ye family looks good, and she has a good temperament, so why is she so cunning?"

"Who knows, I heard that the girl from the princess mansion was pushed into the water, I don't know if it's true or not."

"I'm afraid it's a lie. This girl Ye is very talented, and her quotations are well-founded, and she even questioned Mr. Hu from Yuqing Academy. Listening to what she said, she should be a very talented person who knows the book well." Girls, probably can't do the thing of pushing people into the water."

"In my opinion, those rumors may have been spread by someone with a heart, deliberately to tarnish this girl's reputation. The front foot ruined the girl's reputation, and the back foot released the news that the Ye family and the Zhao family were discussing marriage. No matter how you look at it, it looks like It was calculated."

"That's right, she's really vicious, she's also my granddaughter."

"I heard that the eldest son of the Ye family didn't disrespect his master at all, it was Mr. Hu who deliberately framed him."

"Let's just say that the Ye family has a small family, how can they match up with a family like the Zhao family? I'm afraid it's really a trick of the Wang family. They manipulate the future of their son and force their daughter to marry Master Zhao. This Wang family... tsk tsk... "

Ye Ping, mother and daughter supported each other, and left amidst the discussion of the crowd.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Wang seemed to have exhausted all her strength and leaned softly on her daughter.

The sun is noon, and the shadows are short and the people are long.

The sun is unobstructed, warm and bright. The freshness of spring grass and flowers is gradually mixed with fireworks. The wontons on the street are hot, and the aroma of fried vegetables from restaurants is wafting around.

"Mom, are you hungry?"

Wang wanted to shake her head, but then thought that her daughter must have followed her here early in the morning. She wasn't hungry, but Pingniang was still young and couldn't bear the hunger, so she nodded.

Er Fu took Ye Ping's hand, and San Xi helped Mrs. Wang to sit on the wonton stand by the side of the road.

I ordered four bowls of wontons, and there were four masters and servants.

Mrs. Wang has no appetite and quietly watches her daughter eat.

Ye Ping was really hungry. She didn't sleep well last night, so she knew when there was any movement from her mother. She didn't want to force her mother, but the Wang family was really deceiving too much.

Such relatives are like blood-sucking leeches, what is the use of them?

People came and went on the side of the road, and from time to time someone looked at them more. There is no other reason, only because Ye Ping's appearance is too amazing.

At such a young age, she is born with a unique color without knowing it, even a simple ordinary dress can't stop the pure and clean magnificence.

Wang's sensed something, and her heart felt very astringent.

The daughter was born well, and the mother should be proud. But if it wasn't for this kind of appearance, it wouldn't make some people think that way.

With no good reputation and being so good-looking, what will her Pingniang do in the future? Anxiety was added to her already empty heart, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Not far away, a sedan chair slowly approached. The body of the sedan chair was carved with complex patterns, the four corners were like Xiezhi, the top of the sedan chair was like Buddha dust, and there were bright yellow tassels under it.

She heard someone say that it was King Wen's sedan chair, so she got up and passed almost without thinking.

When Ye Ping looked up, she saw that her mother had knelt down to stop the sedan chair and kowtowed three times to the ground. The forehead that was already red and purple became more and more horrible, with faint blood oozing out.

"Your Majesty, my daughter is ignorant at her age, and she didn't intend to offend the Majesty. Every mistake is the fault of the minister's wife. It is the minister's wife who has no way to teach the daughter, and the minister's wife is not strict in discipline."

"Mother, what are you doing?" Ye Ping was grateful for Wang's love for her daughter, but she was afraid that her mother would offend the people in the sedan chair. Even across the sedan chair, she could clearly feel the people in the sedan chair looking at her. It was a complex and icy gaze, like a blood-devouring net, and also like a pervasive knife, making people have nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.

Pedestrians stopped one after another, but they dared not approach.

Wang's refusal to get up, Pingniang's reputation has been ruined, and the couple is powerless to recover. "The courtier's wife is willing to take it on behalf of her daughter, and asks the county king to show her a clear way for her infatuation. The courtier's wife does not ask her to be rich and powerful in the future, but only asks her to be smooth and stable in this life.

Ye Ping was startled, mother wants to ask the person in the sedan chair to protect her as a matchmaker?

Wen Yu would not agree!
