Yang Erdan has been busy in Zhuangzi these days. The workshop has been built, and the four newly purchased servants have begun driving ox carts to various fishing villages to collect oyster shells.
Xiao Nuoyan was able to hitchhike into the city and save another trip.
There was some inexplicable gossip in Zhuangzi.
As soon as Xu Nuoyan entered Zhuangzi that day, he was stopped by Zhu San, "Miss Xu, go and take a look. Your mother and Qiu Tongsheng's mother are quarreling!"
Xu Nuoyan's expression changed and he rushed to Xiyuan.
As soon as he entered the door, he met two women chatting in the front yard. When they saw her, they became quiet instantly. They said hello with their lips parted: "Miss Xu is back. Come and see what the fuss is about."
Xu Nuoyan nodded and ran back to the second courtyard without asking them. Before she entered, she heard Madam Zhou and Mrs. Qiu scolding each other across the courtyard wall.
“What’s going on?” Xu Nuoyan walked into the yard.
Xu Nuoshan breathed a long sigh of relief and said quickly: "Little sister, please give me some advice."
"What advice are you trying to persuade? That stinky **** dares to trick your sister, I will never be done with her!" Mrs. Zhou yelled angrily.
"Hmph! You want to be a **** and still want to build a memorial arch! Who do you think you are if your daughter has done something shameful?" Qiu Zhang said confidently from next door.
Xu Nuoyan's face darkened, and he turned around and went to the next door. Soon, Qiu Zhang was heard shouting angrily from the other side, "You little bitch, how dare you hit me! I'll tear your face apart!"
Xu Nuoshan and Mrs. Zhou were startled and rushed over, only to see Xu Nuoyan dragging Qiu Zhang's hair tightly. Qiu Zhang opened her teeth and claws, but could not hurt Xu Nuoyan at all.
Qiu Tongsheng was at a loss and was sweating profusely. When he saw Xu Nuoshan, he felt like he was seeing a savior. "Brother Nuoshan, it's my mother's fault. I apologize on her behalf. Please let me go, and we can talk about it if we have anything to say."
Mrs. Zhou’s expression changed drastically, “Yanyan, let her go. If you want to beat her, it’s my mother who will do it!”
Qiu Tongsheng almost fainted when he heard this!
Xu Nuoshan followed to break up the fight, but it had no effect at all.
Gong Haining and Hua Yongnian were alarmed, and they all ran over to break up the fight. Since the fight was between women, they did not dare to take action. The two women in the outer courtyard wanted to step forward, but were stopped by Madam Zhou.
Gong Haining saw that something was wrong and quickly asked his entourage to find Yang Santie and the others.
Yang Erdan hurried over and saw Xu Nuoyan riding on Qiu Zhang's body and slapping her hard. Qiu Tongsheng next to her was crying and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
“What’s going on with this?” Yang Santie squeezed in and was shocked, and hurried over to pull Qiu Tongsheng.
Yang Erdan stepped forward and said seriously with Xu Nuoyan: "Okay, if we continue to fight, something will happen. If you have any grievances, you can say it. This Zhuangzi belongs to my family, and I will uphold justice for you!"
He has been in contact with Xu Nuoyan for a while and knows that this girl is successful and knows etiquette, and she will never do anything without reason.
Xu Nuoyan's lost rationality gradually returned to its original position, and the movements of his hands stopped.
Mrs. Zhou rushed over and picked her up quickly, feeling frightened for a while.
Xu Nuoyan's hand was red, numb and painful because he spanked Qiu and Zhang too hard, and occasionally twitched.
Qiu Zhang’s face was completely unreadable.
Gong Haining frowned and ordered with his entourage: "Go and get some ointment."
After Xu Nuoyan and Mrs. Qiu had finished cleaning up, everyone gathered in the front hall, but no one had a smile on their face.
Everyone looked at Xu Nuoshan and Qiu Tongsheng first, "What's going on?" Qiu Tongsheng's eyes flickered and he hesitated for a long time, unable to explain.
Xu Nuoshan looked at the two women, "I should ask them about this. My mother-in-law heard some gossip from them today, all of which were made up of the younger sister. They said it was Aunt Zhang who said it. My mother-in-law went to I confronted Aunt Zhang, and she admitted it, and the two started arguing. Later, when the roommate came back, Aunt Zhang continued to make arrangements, but the roommate didn't want to endure it, so she just took action. "
"Arrangement? Arrangement for what?" Yang Erdan looked at Qiu Zhang.
Mrs. Qiu Zhang's face was swollen and her speech was slurred, "She goes out early every day and comes back late every day. She dresses up and comes back with money every day. Whose good girl is like her, and she doesn't do something shameful?" "
"That's it?" Hua Yongnian frowned immediately, "Does it mean that Aunt Zhang has no evidence and is just spreading rumors based on her own speculation?"
"I think you were confused by that foxy girl so you spoke for her!" Qiu Zhang was so indignant that she even scolded Hua Yongnian.
Hua Yongnian was furious, slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Qiu Tongsheng, "Did you hear what your mother said? You don't care about it?"
“How can I take care of my body, hair, and skin, which I receive from my parents?” Qiu Tongsheng said weakly.
Hua Yongnian was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Yang Erdan frowned, "Brother Qiu, let me tell you the truth, this is Fucheng, and the government office is in the city. If your mother can't produce evidence, Miss Xu can go to the government office to sue your mother. If it is finally proven that Xu The girl is innocent. Not only will your mother be slapped with a blackmail, she may also implicate you in taking the imperial examination."
"I, I, I," Qiu Tongsheng's expression changed, and he looked at Qiu Zhang in panic, "Auntie, do you have any evidence?"
Qiu Zhang's eyes widened, "Don't scare me! I'm not scared! If she really has the nerve to go ahead and sue, I'll see what she can do to me!"
Xi promised to go out without saying a word.
Mrs. Zhou shouted, “Where are you going?”
“Prefecture government office.”
Qiu Tongsheng was frightened to death. He rushed over and knelt down in front of Xu Nuoyan, "Miss Xu, please show your respect. This matter is all my mother's fault. I apologize on her behalf."
Xu Nuoyan sneered and said: "You are you and she is her, why should I accept your apology! If she doesn't clarify those rumors and apologize to me today, I will let the prefect make the decision for me!"
Without saying a word, Qiu Tongsheng went over and dragged Qiu Zhang, "I apologize, quickly! What will happen to my future if you don't apologize?"
"Are you confused? Believe whatever she says!" Ms. Qiu Zhang was still insisting.
Qiu Tongsheng's eyes turned gloomy, "If you don't apologize, I will go back now and not take the exam."
"How dare you!" Ms. Qiu Zhang was furious and had no way to deal with her son, so she directed her anger at the promise and said angrily: "You win, be satisfied!"
"You have all seen that she is stubborn!" Xu Nuoyan continued to walk out.
Qiu Zhang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and shouted, "I'm sorry, it was my fault! It's okay!"
Let’s wait and see. She will definitely get this debt back in the future!
Mrs. Zhou glared at Mrs. Qiu Zhang and walked past her towards Xu Nuoyan, "Okay, don't be angry. You don't have the knowledge of a shrew."
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched unconsciously. If they hadn't witnessed Xu Nuoyan's fierce fighting power with their own eyes, they would have really believed Mrs. Zhou's words.
