When the Pingning County Princess saw Grand Secretary Sun come out, she merely greeted him calmly, “Greetings, Grandfather.”
Grand Secretary Sun’s face was as dark as soot, a sickly bluish-green color, extremely unpleasant to look at. Yet he only glared at her resentfully and said coldly, “County Princess, what exactly are you trying to do?”
“Rather, I would like to ask Grandfather and Grandmother what you intend to do,” the Pingning County Princess replied, unwilling to yield. “I merely returned a little later than usual, so how is it that Grandfather and Grandmother have already arranged another wife or concubine for Shaoyan?”
“It’s not arranging another one,” Grand Secretary Sun said. “It’s only taking a secondary wife to share the County Princess’s burdens. Why must the County Princess become so furious over this?”
Seeing her reaction, his tone unconsciously softened, as if he still felt somewhat guilty toward her.
Sure enough, the Pingning County Princess’ eyes filled with tears as she said, “Does Grandfather think I am a jealous woman? How could such a matter be kept from me? In truth, I also feel that my husband should have more wives and concubines. If Grandfather and Mother had told me clearly, how would I have stopped it?”
Not stop it? Then what exactly is she doing right now?
Obviously, no one among the onlookers believed her, but no one dared to speak carelessly either. Those burly men were glaring at everyone like tigers watching their prey. If anyone dared to say even a single word, their fists would likely come flying immediately.
No one knew just how many people the Pingning County Princess had brought. Rows upon rows of her servants stood along both sides of the road, firmly controlling the entire scene. Clearly, everything had been carefully planned in advance.
It seemed the Sun family truly hadn’t discussed the matter of taking a secondary wife with the Pingning County Princess. Seeing her weeping accusations, even Grand Secretary Sun found himself momentarily speechless.
After a while, he sighed softly. “Since matters have already reached this point, could the County Princess perhaps show some understanding toward Shaoyan’s difficulties?”
“Of course I will be understanding about Shaoyan’s marriage,” the Pingning County Princess unexpectedly replied very straightforwardly.
Just as everyone was about to let out a long sigh of relief, they suddenly heard her continue:
“But this vixen absolutely cannot step through my doors!”
Everyone was stunned. What did she mean by that?
“Then what about Miss Hua?” Sun Shaoyan had clearly understood her meaning. His face was full of shock as he asked.
The Pingning County Princess waved her hand generously and grandly. “Let her go back the same way she came.”
The moment her words fell, two servants immediately lifted Hua Feixue and threw her straight back into the bridal sedan chair—she was being sent back in the return sedan!
Hua Feixue didn’t even have time to resist before the sedan chair was hoisted up and carried away, swaying back down the road she had come from.
Seeing her handle things like this, Grand Secretary Sun couldn’t help but complain, “Nonsense! Isn’t this complete nonsense?”
Unfortunately, the Pingning County Princess didn’t even bother responding to him. Instead, she turned toward the crowd and waved her hand with a charming smile.
“That’s all for today. Everyone may disperse.”
With that, she slowly walked into the Sun residence, looking as if she had merely watched a play just now, without feeling the slightest bit excessive about what she had done.
Seeing how the Hua family had been beaten into complete disarray, the Ji family suddenly felt somewhat guilty—as if the Hua family had suffered all this beating on behalf of their own Ji family.
Old Master Ji pushed his way through the crowd, unafraid of the powerful, and walked alone to Hua Feiwu. Full of sympathy, he helped him up.
“This is really sinful! How could they beat someone into such a state?” Looking at Hua Feiwu’s bruised and swollen face, Old Master Ji couldn’t help sighing repeatedly.
Sister-in-law You also hurried forward and helped the Hua family’s sister-in-law, who was lying on the ground barely alive. But the moment the woman lifted her head, Sister-in-law You couldn’t help but gasp.
Zhu Jie had followed her over as well, so she clearly saw the woman’s face—five finger marks were stamped across it, swollen so badly that it looked like the folds of a steamed bun.
She couldn’t help sighing inwardly: when women attack other women, they really strike the hardest.
This time, the Hua family had clearly suffered the worst. Hua Feiwu had been beaten, Hua Feixue had been humiliated, and the Hua sister-in-law’s face had turned into a swollen bun.
When it came to the woman trying to steal her man, the Pingning County Princess showed absolutely no mercy.
“Not good… Feixue… go back quickly and check on Feixue!” Hua Feiwu suddenly shouted indistinctly through his broken, wind-leaking mouth.
After suffering such humiliation, how could Hua Feixue face anyone in the future? Perhaps at this very moment she no longer wished to live.
The Ji family immediately understood what he meant. Without delay, they hurried after the departing bridal sedan chair, rushing toward the Hua family’s home.
