The Romance of the West Chamber: The Bells are Ringing

When Yingying heard the matchmaker's words, she felt a deep disgust in her heart, as if hot liquid was flowing in her chest. Her eyes were slightly red, and she was so angry that she couldn't express it. The corners of her mouth curved down slightly, forming an annoyed expression.

Under the impulse of sullenness, she couldn't help but stretched out her arm and pinched the matchmaker's arm hard without hesitation. Although this action was unexpected, it was full of resentment. She used great strength, but her meaningful eyes and actions revealed her irritation and mania.

The matchmaker did not expect that Yingying would suddenly pinch herself. She was caught off guard and the pain spread throughout her body. She suddenly gasped, her face twisted, and a flash of pain flashed in her eyes.

She rubbed the pinched area, twitching the corners of her mouth slightly, with a helpless smile, and complained in a low voice: "Little lady, you are trying to make my arm swell!"

Although she was pinched in unbearable pain, there was no complaint on her face, but a trace of tolerance and understanding. She knew how Yingying handled her slaves as a master, and could understand her sudden move. On the contrary, if you show resentment, you will definitely be pinched again.

When Mrs. Cui Xiangguo saw Yingying suddenly pinch the matchmaker, her face did not show much surprise or reaction. She seemed to be used to this kind of situation and was not too surprised by her behavior. The lady's demeanor remained calm and composed, not changed by this scene.

The lady frowned slightly and nodded slightly, as if silently expressing her approval of Yingying's actions. There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, as if she was used to Yingying's energetic behavior.

Her voice was calm, with a hint of sarcasm, and she said to Yingying: "Matchmaker, you must be more obedient in the future. Don't make Yingying angry. If you are angry, you are not allowed to pinch you. You are a servant and a lowly maid. Don't No one is big or small all day long. Your destiny is to be with Yingying, Yingying didn’t say anything, which turn will get you!"

The lady smiled slightly and looked at Yingying with a hint of tolerance and kindness. She knew very well that everyone had their own way of expression and emotional catharsis, so she didn't care too much about Yingying's actions. Besides, as the master, it doesn’t matter if you pinch the slave a few times, the slave’s life is also the master’s.

The lady turned slightly sideways and cast her gaze towards the corner of the room, as if she was thinking about something. Her heart was filled with worries and worries, and her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was looking for a solution to the dilemma she was about to face.

When Elder Farben saw Yingying pinching the matchmaker, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unbearability in his heart. His expression remained calm and composed, but there was a touch of sadness in his eyes. In his eyes, life and peace are extremely precious, and one should treat others with compassion.

The elder clasped his hands together and placed them in front of him. He closed his eyes slightly, opened his lips slightly, and began to chant the Buddha's name "Amitabha". His voice was clear and plaintive, as if he was praying for some peace and tranquility in this world full of strife.

His movements of folding hands looked solemn and pious, and his eyes gradually looked inward, as if connecting his soul to a higher realm. He prayed silently in his heart, praying for peace for all living beings, hoping to find inner peace amidst the turmoil.

The elder has a deep understanding of the disputes in the world. He is well aware of the harm caused by malice and conflict. Therefore, at this time, he chose to use the Buddha's name to express his inner calmness and transcendence. He hoped that in this way, he could convey a sense of peace and tolerance in Yingying's actions.

Mrs. Cui Xiangguo glanced at Elder Farben and said "hum" in her heart. Her brows furrowed slightly, with a hint of displeasure on her face. In her opinion, Elder Farben's actions seemed a bit too negative and passive, and she would rather see a positive solution.

Her eyes flashed with a trace of dissatisfaction, and she cast her gaze slightly at the elder beside her. She felt a little disgusted in her heart, thinking that the elders were too religious and pious and might not be able to truly understand real worldly issues.

The lady's expression remained solemn and worried. Although she "hummed" in her heart, she did not express it directly. She understands that the current situation is urgent and it is not appropriate to have a dispute. Instead, she should work together to find a solution.

When Mrs. Cui Xiangguo heard Cui Yingying said that she wanted to marry a bandit, her face changed slightly, and she was obviously shocked and angry at the idea. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes flashed with unconcealable displeasure. There was a burst of anger in her heart. How could anyone come up with such a ridiculous idea? She is the mistress of the family and has a very strong sense of responsibility for the family's honor and reputation. She will never allow anything to tarnish the family's reputation.

She glanced at Elder Farben, as if gesturing for him to join in the remonstrance. Then she looked at Cui Yingying and said in a cold tone: "My child, why do you have such ridiculous ideas? Is my family a lawless place? Our Cui family is a well-known family, a noble family, and there has never been a man who broke the law. My remarried daughter. How could I be willing to give you to that bandit? Wouldn't it damage our family's reputation? How could you be so disregardful of the family's reputation and dignity? "

Her voice was stern, carrying an unquestionable majesty. There was deep dissatisfaction in her eyes, as if she was questioning whether Yingying's decision was well thought out. Her hands were clasped together, her knuckles turning slightly white, showing her inner uneasiness and anger.

Madam's words were like a stern warning, making Cui Yingying feel the tremendous pressure from family honor. Her heart grew heavy and she began to reflect on whether her decision had been too hasty. Her lips moved, as if she wanted to explain something, but in the end she didn't speak.

The matchmaker stood aside, her face pale and her eyes full of fear. She felt Madam's anger and pressure, and understood what Yingying's proposal meant to the entire family. There was still a dull pain in her arm, and the pinch from Yingying made her feel even heavier.

Elder Farben put his hands together and called the Buddha's name, seeming to be silently praying for this situation. His brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes. As an elder, he also has a deep understanding of the family's honor and reputation, and he understands the importance of this decision. In his heart, he hoped that Yingying could understand his wife's position and not make a decision easily.

Mrs. Cui Xiangguo glanced at Elder Farben. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if with a hint of dissatisfaction. She didn't care about Elder Farben's prayer. She was more concerned about how to prevent Yingying from making this decision. She "hummed" in her heart, as if she was laughing at how ridiculous Yingying's decision was.

The atmosphere in the room became tense and heavy, as if the air was frozen. Mrs. Cui Xiangguo's attitude and words made the whole scene full of tension and depression. Her firm stance and unquestionable tone demonstrate her majesty and authority as the mistress of the family.

Suddenly he heard Fa Ben shout "Amitabha", took a step forward, stood in front of Yingying and Mrs. Cui Xiangguo, and coughed lightly.
