Chapter 264 Gossip
After the lively celebration of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the visits to relatives and friends were drawing to a close. Ruan Qingqing was about to leave, but the two little guys, Ruan Shikang and Ruan Susu, took advantage of their young age and acted cute to ask Ruan Qingqing to stay with them for a few more days.
Ruan Qingqing thought it would be difficult to come back in the future, so she agreed. After the two guys got the confirmation, they danced excitedly at home for a while, and probably not satisfied yet, they ran outside to show off the good news to their friends.
"You just spoil them!" Wang scratched her scalp with the needle in her hand a few times. She glared at Ruan Qingqing and asked her worriedly, "You're going back so late, nothing will happen there, right?"
Ruan Qingqing gave her a soothing look, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm not not going back. I'm just postponing it for two days. What can go wrong?"
"I'm just thinking that you have a heavy responsibility. I don't know much about managing a city. I'll just compare it to managing the food and drink of a family. If the head of a family doesn't return home for a long time, the family will have no backbone. It's okay if nothing happens, but it's easy to be at a loss when something goes wrong." Wang said worriedly.
"Mom, don't worry! Old Ge and the others will make the decisions on minor matters, and they will find a way to inform me if there is anything really important."
While the mother and daughter were talking, Ruan Susu, who had just gone out, ran back wiping her tears.
"Mom, big sister, you guys should go and have a look! Third brother and Manliang are fighting!"
Wang bit off the string in her hand in confusion, "Your third brother never fights with others, why did he fight with others today?"
"It's Tiezhu and the others who said that our eldest sister is an old maid that no one wants, and she usually hangs out with a bunch of men. She might be a slutty bitch!"
Wang was so angry that she felt dizzy before her eyes. "I want to tear that bitch Hao Chunmei apart! Is that how you teach your children? She used her rotten mouth to manipulate a good little girl like me into this!"
She immediately put down the work in her hands and went out to find Tiezhu's mother Hao Chunmei to argue.
A cruel smile appeared on Ruan Qingqing's lips.
"This is really disturbing. I have only been at home for a few days and I have been framed like this. Am I being too easy to bully?"
Wang was no longer the soft and cowardly person she once was. It could be said that her family's affluent financial situation gave her great confidence. She called Aunt Wang and a few strong servants and headed to Hao Chunmei's house in a menacing manner.
When Ruan Qingqing arrived, she saw Ruan Shikang and a dark and strong boy fighting. Yue Linlang, who was following behind, didn't need Ruan Qingqing's instructions, and flew forward to separate the two children.
"Sister Linlang, let me go. I'm going to beat this dirty-mouthed guy to death!" Although Ruan Shitai looks small, he exudes a ferocity like a wild wolf.
"It's okay, we'll take care of everything!" Ruan Qingqing checked him up and down, and only felt relieved when she saw that only his mouth was slightly broken.
Seeing this, the dark and strong young man wiped his nose vigorously with his hand and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground. "Don't think I'll be afraid just because your unwanted elder sister comes. I, Tiezhu, have never been afraid of anyone in a fight!"
Ruan Qingqing frowned, but before she could say anything, Ruan Shikang rushed to the ground like a cannonball, sat on him, and punched him in the face. "I told you not to say bad things about my elder sister! I told you not to say bad things about my elder sister!"
After Ruan Tiezhu reacted, he immediately turned over and knocked Ruan Shitai to the ground. Before his fist hit Ruan Shitai, Yue Linlang picked him up again.
At this time, some people had gathered around and were pointing at them.
"Linlang, pick him up and let's go to his house to talk to his parents." Ruan Qingqing was too lazy to argue with a naughty child.
When she arrived at Ruan Tiezhu's house, she saw a woman being beaten by Aunt Wang. Ruan Pinghai arrived almost at the same time as Ruan Qingqing.
"what happened?"
"Chief, you have to help us! I don't know what's wrong with Wang Chunya. As soon as he came to my house, he asked the servants to beat me!" When Hao Chunmei saw Ruan Pinghai coming, she felt like she saw a savior and immediately complained.
"You only told the clan leader that I beat you, but why didn't you tell me why I beat you? How could you, a rotten-hearted person like you, frame me like that and throw dirty water on me?"
Wang was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Ruan Pinghai was so frightened that he almost died. He pointed at Hao Chunmei and said, "You are an expert. How dare you make up stories about Qingqing? Are you tired of living or do you think your life is too good?"
"I didn't say anything wrong. Qingqing from her family is already 21 years old and still unmarried. What's wrong with her hanging out with a bunch of men all day? What about the Lord of the Third City? Did he get that title by sleeping with some young master?"
"You..." Ruan Pinghai rolled his eyes in anger.
Hao Chunmei, however, was like a victorious rooster. She put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and yelled at Wang, "How dare you do that and not let others say anything? Don't think that you are great just because your family has some money and your son is a high-ranking official. Wang Chunya, if I had a daughter like you, I would have died of shame and anger! You still have the nerve to bring servants to beat people up. This has already spread everywhere. Can you shut up everyone else by shutting up my mouth?"
Ruan Pinghai saw Ruan Qingqing out of the corner of his eye, and hurried over to her, bowed and apologized, "Qingqing, this is all because of the Third Master's failure to discipline me, don't be angry!"
Ruan Qingqing had a gloomy face and said nothing.
"My city lord was trying to give face to you, his family, so he acted more friendly. I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and dare to ruin my city lord's reputation like this. Do you think you are too stubborn?" Yue Linlang asked.
If Ruan Qingqing hadn't disagreed, she would have beaten and killed all of these rude country folk!
"Since she just said that it has spread everywhere, I want to know who is spreading bad things about me within a day. And if the Third Master cannot discipline the clan members, I don't mind doing it for him!" Ruan Qingqing's voice was as cold as water and full of intimidation.
All the onlookers were silent, and only then did everyone realize that Ruan Qingqing was different from everyone else.
Ruan Pinghai looked at the figure walking away and wiped the sweat from his forehead several times.
In the evening, Ruan Qingqing heard that Ruan Pinghai had locked up all the women who had spread bad things about him in the ancestral hall and made them kneel there to reflect on their sins.
After dinner, Ruan Pinghai found out that the initiators of the rumor were Ruan Wangang's wife Li and Ruan Pinghuai's wife Zhao.
Ruan Qingqing raised her eyebrows when she heard the news. After a little analysis, she guessed the cause and effect. Just because she didn't agree to their request, they spread rumors and slandered her. Especially since Li was her third aunt, what good would it do her to slander her niece?
She frowned. This guy is really an ungrateful person who can never be tamed!
"Master, do you want me to take action?" Yue Linlang said with concern.
"No need, let's see the reaction from the old house first!"
