TFWYH – Chapter 406 Tang Wan Gets Angry

“It’s fine. I’ve heard about that butcher’s daughter — she’s ugly and fat. The handsome assistant magistrate only married her because he was forced to.”

“Exactly! We’re all much prettier than that fatty!”

“Even if he’s married, he can still take concubines. If I could become the handsome assistant magistrate’s concubine, I’d gladly accept!”

…

Listening to them one sentence after another, Tang Wan felt her lungs were about to explode with anger.

Damn it — were these women tired of living? Trying to steal her man?

Her fury made her temporarily forget Madam Jiang’s words about Ling Yu possibly no longer being himself. Clenching her wrist, she strode straight toward the group of women.

The girls stared at the suddenly appearing beautiful woman who looked ready to fight. They froze for a few seconds before hostility gradually filled their eyes.

“Who are you? Why are you blocking us?”

“Yeah! If you want to see the handsome assistant magistrate, go line up at the back. Don’t stand here!”

“You look like some seductress. Definitely not respectable. You’re even wearing a married woman’s hairstyle and still dare to covet the assistant magistrate? Shameless!”

…

Tang Wan said coldly, “And you think coveting another woman’s husband is honorable?”

The girls fell silent, glaring angrily at her.

The young woman in blue at the front frowned. “What does this have to do with you? Who exactly are you?”

Tang Wan replied, “Allow me to introduce myself — I am the very wife the handsome assistant magistrate married through proper rites. The butcher’s daughter you’ve been talking about.”

The girls: ??

The girls: !!

They all stared at Tang Wan in shock, their faces gradually turning red.

Right in front of the wife herself, they had been fantasizing about her husband.

Th-this…

“What’s going on? She says she’s the assistant magistrate’s wife. Didn’t you all say his wife was ugly and fat?”

“I… I don’t know! That’s just what the neighbors said.”

“What do we do now?”

“What do you mean what do we do? Even if she is his wife, she… she can’t stop him from taking concubines, right?”

“But she’s so beautiful… would the assistant magistrate even look at us?”

“So what if she’s beautiful? The assistant magistrate doesn’t even like her. She used underhanded methods to force him into marrying her!”

…

The girls whispered among themselves, occasionally casting guilty glances at Tang Wan.

Women of ancient times were not as bold as modern women; most still cared deeply about reputation and propriety.

But there were always exceptions.

For example — the girl in blue leading them.

After Tang Wan revealed her identity, she showed no fear at all. Instead, she lifted her chin arrogantly. “So you are Madam Ling. I am Zhang Zhou’s younger sister. Greetings.”

Though she spoke of courtesy, her attitude carried none. Instead, she began boasting about her brother.

“My brother works under Young Master Yu’s own younger sister. You may indeed be his wife, but how you obtained that position… you should understand better than anyone.”

Zhang Zhou? Wasn’t that Zhang San?

Tang Wan narrowed her eyes dangerously. “What do you mean?”

The girl in blue snorted. “As the saying goes, a forced melon isn’t sweet. Since you resorted to unscrupulous means to marry Young Master Yu, you should behave properly and observe your place. Otherwise, if you lose your manners and get divorced, that would be quite embarrassing. When that happens— mmph!”

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Wan finally snapped.

Her hand shot out like lightning, grabbing the girl by the throat!

The girl in blue never expected Tang Wan to actually strike. With her neck seized, she couldn’t utter a word, terror filling her eyes.

The other girls rushed forward, trying to pull Tang Wan away and make her release her grip.

But let alone them — even ten more groups like this wouldn’t have been Tang Wan’s match.

Tang Wan raised her other hand. Before anyone could even see what she did next—

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Every single girl received a sharp slap across the face and was sent tumbling to the ground.
