Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 261 Second Wife

"Beatled? Is he badly injured? Is he alone?!" Granny Fang frowned. She had been worried that the Liu family would be retaliated against by the Left Chancellor's Mansion. She had just comforted Liu Yuechu when Liu Musheng got into trouble!

"The people from the Left Chancellor's residence are too domineering! How could they start a fight in the street? They're just bullying us!" Lin Mengyu couldn't stand it anymore.

Liu Yuechu was a little puzzled. She was afraid that something might happen to Liu Musheng these days, so she specially sent a "house servant" to follow him.

With his bodyguards around, how could he possibly get beaten?

"Get the car ready, I'm going to take a look," she said on a whim.

"My dear ancestors, please don't move. Just rest at home and make sure you don't hurt yourself!" Granny Fang absolutely refused.

“I’m in the carriage, what are you afraid of?” Liu Yuechu insisted. She called for help, and even Granny Fang couldn’t stop her.

Surrounded by a group of people, they rushed to the scene of the accident.

Liu Musheng's face was bruised, swollen, and bleeding, but Jiang Changyang wasn't in much better shape. Not only was his face scratched and bleeding, but his clothes were also torn!

But the person who hit him wasn't Liu Musheng, it was Huang Wanwan.

Huang Wanwan was still grabbing Jiang Changyang by the collar when she slapped him across the face!

"What's wrong with you, the son of the Left Chancellor? Do you really think you're so great? The great ones are your aunt and your father, but not you!"

"To flirt with women in the street and then mock them as playboys? Liu Musheng is a playboy, but you're not even as good as a playboy!"

"I'm going to beat you up in the street today! Go ahead and tell on me when you get home. I'll be sitting here waiting!"

"I've lived for over a decade, and I've never even been to my father's Dali Temple prison. Don't think you can take me down just because you have that dog of a county magistrate by your side. His two-tael official hat isn't even worthy of it!"

……

Huang Wanwan cursed fiercely, then kicked him in the chest after letting go!

Jiang Changyang staggered and fell backward, but fortunately a servant from the Left Chancellor's residence caught him!

He clutched his chest, tears streaming down his face from the pain. He pointed at Huang Wanwan but couldn't utter a single word; his throat was practically steaming from the effort!

"You shrew, you're a shrew!"

"If you dare lay a finger on me again, I'll throw dog's blood all over the gate of your Left Chancellor's residence! If you can't even discipline your own son, then you shouldn't be going to court!"

Huang Wanwan rolled up her sleeves and let loose with a satisfying smugness. Then she glanced at the dazed Liu Musheng beside her and said, "What are you looking at? Never been beaten before?!"

"Calm down, um... does your hand hurt?" Liu Musheng asked cautiously, his neck hunched over. He noticed her hand was red.

Huang Wanwan bit her lip, her ears already blushing.

She was accompanying her aunt out for tea today. When they passed by a pharmacy, her aunt inquired about the price of ginseng and went to talk to the shop owner.

Huang Wanwan was waiting outside when she unexpectedly ran into Jiang Changyang. Jiang Changyang didn't see Huang Wanwan's aunt, only her.

He actually had feelings for Huang Wanwan, so he went up to her and started a flirtatious conversation. Huang Wanwan was displeased, but she held back, not wanting to cause trouble, and deliberately gave him the cold shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Liu Musheng was also in the pharmacy. Seeing Jiang Changyang harassing Huang Wanwan, he stepped forward to make a few sarcastic remarks. Jiang Changyang had always looked down on Liu Musheng, and besides, his marriage to Jiang Yunjiao had ended so awkwardly. The two couldn't agree on anything, and Jiang Changyang started hitting her, causing Huang Wanwan's pent-up frustration to explode!

She had been depressed and anxious about her marriage these past few days. When she saw Liu Musheng being beaten because of her, she disregarded all the rules for women and went up to beat Jiang Changyang!

When had Jiang Changyang ever suffered such humiliation? Even his own father had never laid a finger on him! Now, not only was he being beaten, but by a woman no less! This humiliation was even more unbearable!

"Who do you think you are? You're almost eighteen and no one's proposed to you. You'll only be able to become a second wife for someone whose wife has died!"

Whether I become a concubine or not is none of your business! Do you believe I'll tear your mouth apart?

"What's wrong with you? To be a second wife is an understatement. You can't play any of the traditional arts, and you know nothing about needlework or traditional virtues. I don't need to say more about your family's reputation, do I? Whoever marries you is truly unlucky!"

Jiang Changyang's disdain and contempt were clearly an accusation that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review favored his concubine over his wife.

Huang Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine. "Try saying that again?"

"I could say eight hundred things and you wouldn't be worthy of it. Your aunt has already become a concubine of the Duke of Jingguo, and you still want to be the principal wife? Don't expose the filth of your Huang family. I'm ashamed to even say it!" Jiang Changyang didn't care anymore!

Without saying a word, Huang Wanwan rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward; she really couldn't swallow this insult any longer!

"stop!"

A sharp shout rang out from inside the pharmacy, and Huang Wanwan's aunt, Ding Huangshi, came out.

Ding Huangshi was plump and exuded an air of nobility. She wore a purple robe embroidered with gold peonies and a three-colored gold necklace with the auspicious symbols of fortune, prosperity, and longevity. She was a concubine of the Duke of Jingguo, and having no children of her own, she had always raised Huang Wanwan as her daughter.

Now that the Duke of Jingguo is eighty years old, he may pass away at any time. She wants to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly arrange Huang Wanwan's marriage.

Unfortunately, his good-for-nothing younger brother favored his concubine over his wife and was unreliable, and Huang Wanwan was stubborn, making it really difficult to find a good family for her...

Huang Wanwan snorted angrily and could only lower her fist.

Jiang Changyang was surprised to find Ding Huangshi there as well. He was immediately embarrassed and wanted to leave with his men as soon as possible!

"You haven't apologized yet, where do you think you're going!" Liu Musheng shouted, stopping him.

Jiang Changyang was so angry that he could only turn around and give a perfunctory bow to Ding Huangshi, saying, "Greetings, Lady of the Duke of Jingguo."

"She is a concubine." Madam Ding gave a forced smile.

Jiang Changyang, remembering what he had just said, didn't bother to explain. "You saw it yourself, I was the one who got hit. Even if my words were offensive, your niece's fists taught me a lesson. And for a woman to act like a shrew in the street, you really did a good job raising her!" His words were full of sarcasm.

"Wanwan, apologize to Young Master Jiang." Madam Ding looked to her side.

Huang Wanwan was taken aback and noticed a man in the corner behind her aunt. Wasn't this the Hanlin Academy editor who had proposed marriage to her that day?

It turns out that her aunt didn't just ask her to have tea with her; she actually wanted to arrange the marriage.

She considered it carefully, but was unwilling.

Liu Musheng suddenly spoke up angrily, "Why is she apologizing? Her own family member is being bullied, and instead of standing up for her, you make your niece apologize to a scoundrel?"

Ding Huangshi's eyes were like knives. She naturally knew who Liu Musheng was. "This is a matter between the Huang family and the Jiang family. It has nothing to do with you."

"Aren't you from the Duke of Jingguo's mansion? Even if you want to teach her a lesson, it's not your place as her aunt to step in, is it?" Ever since Liu Musheng took a liking to Huang Wanwan, he had already found out everything about the Huang family, so he naturally knew about Ding Huangshi's matter.

Ding Huangshi felt a lump in her throat, not expecting Liu Musheng to dare to talk back to her.
