In just one hour, the news of Aunt Branch's fall from grace spread to every corner of Wanjia. The servants who had been punished by Liu Qingzhi in the past, unable to tolerate her arrogance and disdain for other women in the household due to her favored status, began to stir.
Within a mere two hours, Liu Qingzhi experienced the torment of losing favor. The Bird's Nest and shark fin that she could easily obtain with just a few words were now being withheld, no matter how many times she asked or pleaded.
This is the plight of women in the inner chambers; all their glory comes from a man's attitude. A single glance, a gesture, or a word from him can alter a woman's fate.
Of course, this applies to women like Liu Qingzhi, who are deluded into thinking they can reap rewards without effort. There are many women who refuse to be subdued by fate and are unafraid of hardship and danger.
At Ten Li Pu, Liu Qingxi was lost in the time spent alone with Yang Yichen, unable to pull herself away.
The feeling of heart fluttering upon seeing each other, the constant longing when apart, the nervousness that makes one's face flush and heart race—every woman in love shares this mindset. They lose their rationality and become ensnared in their emotions.
She was startled awake by the noise outside, letting out a long breath: "Good thing someone is here; otherwise, I'd be sitting here doing nothing."
Liu Qingxi never imagined she would feel this way. When not in love, she always thought she would remain clear-headed and rational no matter what.
But when faced with reality, even the strongest will cannot resist the allure of another's hormones.
She patted her flushed cheeks and stood up straight: "Who is it?"
Who comes home at such an hour? It hasn't been long since they returned!
However, when she saw the visitor, Liu Qingxi's expression instantly turned cold.
Who else could it be but Wang? The one who thrives on creating chaos and gossiping.
After being blocked earlier that morning, where did she find the confidence to come looking for trouble again?
"You dead girl! Making your elders wait outside like this—what an unfilial thing to do! I must teach you a lesson," Wang said, extending her right hand adorned with thick gold bangles, swift and fierce.
A gentle breeze swept towards Liu Qingxi's face.
The girl suddenly stepped back, dodging the palm that Wang had thrust forward.
However, Liu Qingxi evaded cleanly and swiftly, while Wang, who had used all her strength to teach Liu Qingxi a lesson, lost her balance as her center of gravity shifted forward and stumbled ahead.
She happened to trip over the threshold and fell down with a thud, landing in a heap.
A cloud of dust rose as Liu Qingxi looked at the commotion and Wang's deformed chest, tears glistening in her eyes. Just thinking about it made her feel pain.
Then came a wail: "Help! The younger generation is bullying the elders! Someone come quickly!"
It was not a particularly busy time; families were returning home for the afternoon. Wang's pig-like cries attracted neighbors from nearby, making it even harder for her to get up.
"Look at this! This is how the younger generation treats their elders. I came over with good intentions to see her, but this wretched girl tripped me! You all judge for yourselves!"
Wang sat on the ground, crying with snot and tears mixing together, creating a sticky mess on her cheeks.
A few cleanliness-conscious people witnessing this scene gagged, nearly throwing up their last meal.
"How can she act like this? Her son should be old enough to know better than to engage in such nonsense."
"No matter what, I don't believe Qingxi would hit anyone. Who doesn't know she's a good child? She even lent her ox cart for free to that kid."
"Exactly! If it weren't for her, how could so many people in the village find such good work? They are earning real money thanks to her." A young man chimed in.
The onlookers surged forward: "It must be another one of Wang's schemes. Everyone knows she loves to take advantage of others. The children of Liu Laosi and Liu Laowu are treated poorly by her; they are either beaten or scolded."
The judgment of this person received unanimous agreement, with everyone believing that Wang was deliberately looking for trouble.
Even from the current situation, it was clear that Wang was at a disadvantage.
At this moment, the influence among the villagers was evident; there was no doubt that Wang was not a match for Liu Qingxi.
Faced with the pointing fingers of the crowd, Wang was performing a solo act.
It was quite a sight; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't squeeze out any tears. She was covered in dirt, her hair a mess, and even her gold and silver ornaments were not spared from a few drops of sticky substance.
Wang was completely oblivious to this; she continued to perform vigorously. However, her earlier sobs had turned into loud wails that nearly shattered people's eardrums.
"Wang, just stop your act. What kind of adult bullies a child? Liu has no parents and you still chased her out of her home. How can you even look for trouble?"
A bold woman who couldn't stand it any longer stepped forward to speak up for Liu Qingxi: "You call that bullying? Just take a look at yourself and then look at Qingxi, who is so thin. Is she really your opponent?"
She had hit the nail on the head, leaving Wang feeling quite embarrassed.
However, since the performance was only halfway through and her goal had not yet been achieved, how could she possibly give up?
Liu Qingxi could only silently question the heavens. Indeed, Wang was relentless and determined, a typical case of someone who wouldn't turn back until they hit a wall.
The key point was that she lacked self-awareness; while outsiders could clearly see the wall, she alone could not recognize it and insisted on charging forward.
After suffering injuries, one would expect her to calm down for a few days, but soon enough she would forget the pain once her wounds healed.
Truly,
A person without shame is like a tree without bark; it is difficult to deal with someone like Wang.
She was seen sitting on the ground, moving forward, suddenly reaching out and tightly grabbing Liu Qingxi's skirt.
"No way, I'm hurt, my bones are broken and I can't move. You have to compensate me!"
Her tone was so self-righteous that it left everyone feeling quite displeased. Who do you think you are to demand compensation?
Liu Qingxi scoffed, "Aunt Wang, this has nothing to do with me. You tripped yourself while running too fast; why blame me? What did I do wrong?"
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't dodged, I wouldn't have fallen. You did it on purpose."
"Hah!" Liu Qingxi sneered, thinking this person must be out of her mind. "Aunt Wang, I opened the door and you immediately swung at me without a word. What's up with that?
Why should I dodge? Should I just stand there waiting for you to hit me? Am I supposed to stick my face out for you to hit?"
Hahaha
Laughter erupted from the crowd: "It's true! Who knows, maybe she thought after getting hit on one side, she should voluntarily offer the other side? Oh man, this is truly the biggest joke of the year."
"This is our family matter; it's none of your business!" Aunt Wang insisted defiantly, as if not doing so would be a grave sin.
"Your family matter? You haven't been related for a long time, okay?"
"I don't care! It doesn't work that way. How about you give me one of your cows?" Finally, Aunt Wang put forth the condition that had been brewing in her mind for a long time.
