"Zhao Wensheng, do you want to challenge our ancestors' etiquette? Even though you've been blocked at the door, you still dare to deny it!"
This time it was the twelfth uncle who joined in the conversation. The old man had a loud voice and was always in good health. Listening to his full-throated roar, one could tell at a glance that he was very suitable to be stepped on by the female evil star's tiger-head shoes.
Zhao Wensheng was a coward, but he was beaten up for no reason, and he felt so aggrieved that he had no place to vent his anger. He thought it would be best to attract more people to join him, so as to relieve his anger and frustration.
"Twelfth Uncle, your grandson has been wronged to such an extent! I have always been a law-abiding person, and everyone in our family knows this.
Since my father passed away, I have been working diligently to support my family and never slacked off. Fortunately, with the blessing of our ancestors, my brothers and I have been able to live a decent life.
My family is fine, there's nothing wrong with it. You insist that I admit it, but how would I know what to admit?
Otherwise, why don't you just make it clear, and say directly that if it is acceptable, your grandson will risk his life to be filial and acknowledge it directly, okay?"
After saying this series of words in a suffocating manner, he covered his chest and took two breaths with difficulty. Just by looking at him, it was clear that this was another poor person who was persecuted by the clan.
Zhao Wenchang, who was sitting next to them, was startled when he heard that his elder brother was so bold as to confront the clan members, and he shrank back even further.
He doesn't have the ability to stir up a hornet's nest, so he'd better be honest.
Several elders were so angry that their faces turned blue.
We all grew up reading poetry and etiquette, so who doesn't know how to save face? Some things can only be understood but not expressed in words. Moreover, there are outsiders sitting in the flower hall, so we can't expose the family's dirty laundry for others to know.
The old and frail Third Uncle narrowed his eyes and stroked the cane in his hand. His old and turbid eyes looked coldly at the two rebellious sons of the Fourth House, and then turned to Dai, who was sitting silently beside him.
"You know what to do."
Just these few words gave the old lady a chill all over her body.
Looking at the old man who had ordered the execution of her daughter, Dai couldn't control her fingers and trembled slightly several times.
If possible, she really wanted to strangle him to death!
"Uncle San, what you said is irrational. I am just a woman with long hair and short knowledge. I have been guarding this inner courtyard quietly all my life. I only know my duty as a virtuous wife and mother. How can I know what is clear or confused?"
She clenched her granddaughter's cold fingers and pulled her closer to her. Her voice sounded very hoarse.
“I have always been useless.
When I was young, I couldn't even recognize a few words. Now that I'm older, I'm deaf, my eyesight is blurry, my body isn't in good shape, and my mind is even more confused.
Then what else can I know?
I don’t know anything.”
Zhao Wenchang felt as if he had seen a ghost today. His old mother, who was usually the most well-behaved, actually started to act like a scoundrel and act like a commoner, just like his elder brother who was always polite and proper?
Things are changing so fast!
No matter how upset he was, he just stayed aside and didn't make any comments.
Although this guy is useless and spoiled by his widowed mother and two elder brothers, he has a great advantage: he is obedient. Especially in public, he will not speak unless he is instructed.
Look at the attitude of the fourth room mother and son, it seems to be different from usual. Several elders looked at each other, none of them figured out where their confidence came from today?
Seventh Uncle thought about it and directly picked the weak one.
"Zhao Wenchang, I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Just deal with the problems in your room yourself, so that you can leave a good reputation for your descendants."
Zhao Wenchang, who was named, looked at his elder brother furtively. The elder brother frowned and covered his chest, which made him shudder instantly, and he remembered the fear that he had just been dominated by the tiger-head shoes.
Immediately, he used poison to fight poison, and the hair grew on his courage. Although the clan was scary, the female evil star was also scary!
Since he is afraid of both sides, he might as well pretend to be dead.
"How did you know what happened in my room, Uncle Seven? Could it be...
...My dear ancestor, my dear father!
Could it be that you, Seventh Uncle, have placed spies in my room?
You are so old, and you still play so extravagantly? This is really a shame for me, your grandson. I don’t know how to complain...”
The noble and elegant face suddenly turned pitifully pale. The little white flower's demeanor, which was exactly the same as Zhao Jiuniang's, was captured to perfection by her own father.
Having a good face does have its advantages. When pretending to be pitiful, it looks a little better than others.
"........."
The seventh uncle was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath, and his face was red. He was already so old, and he might be buried in the ancestral tomb this morning or tomorrow night. He actually lost his dignity in the mouth of this little bastard!
"...You, you,...someone come..."
"You bastard! You are an old man, but you can't control your words. It's really disgraceful!"
Zhao Wensheng took the initiative, stood up and slapped his third brother on the head, then shouted outside the door with an angry face.
"Someone, bring the Third Master to kneel before the ancestral tablets. Let him out when he realizes his mistakes!"
A clever servant heard his master's order, rushed in quickly, and tried to carry his third master away skillfully, but was stopped by a cane.
The Third Uncle snorted coldly, his old eyes full of understanding. However, he was used to being high and mighty in the clan, and no matter how bold the Fourth Branch was today, he would not tolerate their disobedience.
Since they don't want to be saved, the clan has to take action.
"Somebody come!"
With a greeting, the servants guarding outside quickly ran to the side hall to pass the message, and the Zhao family members quickly appeared in the hall.
This prestige came from his status as the old patriarch who had been in charge of the clan for many years. However, the current patriarch Zhao Zizhan looked at his uncle with a completely cold look.
Not wanting to waste any more time, the old man pointed in the direction of Zhao Jiuniang and closed his eyes calmly.
"Take it down."
"How dare you! My child was staying at home peacefully and hadn't done anything wrong. Why did you come to my door and want to beat him up and kill him?"
Dai pulled her granddaughter behind her and hid her. She looked at the old man who was giving orders, her eyes filled with bone-gnawing hatred.
“It’s not twenty years ago now, you are no longer the clan leader, and our fourth branch is no longer the orphans and widows we once were.
My son Wenxing is now a third-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel, and I have an imperial edict!
If you dare to force me again, I will hit my head and die here today. Let's see how it will end when you force the mother of a third-rank official to death? ! "
