How is the 81st King these days?

  "It won't do..." Ye Xiao couldn't pretend anymore, and suddenly darted over, jumping up to protect the calligraphy and painting.

  She's still pregnant with 4 or 5 months and can stretch out her hand so quickly.

  But unexpectedly, the tenth sister was even more clever and immediately abandoned this one, turning to take another.

  On the other side, Little Eleven was handing over the vase in her hand to Eighth Sister, while she herself went to move the jade white cabbage on the table.

  "You... are you robbers?" Ye Xiaojie was both angry and anxious, unable to refrain from scolding the crowd. She then commanded the servant girls in the house, "Quickly... what are you looking at? Don't just stand there, stop these robbers..."

  "Robber? Hehe……” Xiang heard this and couldn't help but sneer, "You can still say it out loud, a slave like you, who doesn't even know yourself, relying on your seductive skills to climb over the head of the legitimate wife, driving away the legitimate wife is not enough, and yet you're also plotting to steal her dowry, who's the real robber?"

  Xiao's words were stern and severe, causing Ye Xiaoqie's face to change several times, finally turning a deep blue-green. Her gentle and virtuous demeanor could no longer be maintained. "Household matters depend on one's abilities. If she is blind and incompetent, what does it have to do with others?"

  The true face is finally exposed.

  Alas, with such a hypocritical person, how could Fourth Sister possibly be a match for her?

  The ninth sister couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, and after that, she immediately picked up another jade piece from the other side, "Everyone relies on their own abilities - section? Well... then I'll just take a few more pieces."

  "Don't let him take it, hurry up and grab it back for me!"

  Ye Xiaojie was furious and immediately ordered the maids in the house to intercept the crowd. The maids rushed forward, while Ye Xiaojie herself rushed up to Xiao Lishi's face to snatch the green jade white radish.

  Xiao Shi did not give it to her, and the two of them were fighting over it. Suddenly, Ye Xiao Qing became enraged and slapped Xiao Shi in the face with a loud "slap".

  Those crisp applause stunned everyone, and Xiaoyi's big eyes were instantly filled with tears.

  "You... you actually dare to hit someone?" Xiang's anger was stirred up, and in a few steps, she walked through the crowd and stood in front of Ye Xiaozhu.

  "What's wrong with me hitting someone? I just hit them... Hehe, do you want to hit me? Come on and hit me, come at me." But unexpectedly, Ye Xiao didn't show any fear, instead she coldly smiled and intentionally puffed out her chest as she approached the Shao family.

  "You... you are truly shameless..." Xiao Shi couldn't help but curse angrily.

  "Shameless?" Ye Xiao's concubine saw her like this, and became even more unscrupulous, "Hehe... your fourth sister also says this sentence every time she opens her mouth, can't the people of Wen's family say anything else? How boring."

  Although they didn't witness it themselves, from this sentence alone, they could still clearly see the history of Fourth Sister being bullied and oppressed, and the people in the Wen family couldn't help but feel even more indignant.

  "What's wrong, I'm so angry... haha... what a pity, it was all in vain. Not only is your fourth sister not my match, but you also don't think you can get the better of me, haha..." Ye Xiaozhu laughed again, and while laughing, she also smoothed out her scattered hair by her temples, looking extremely charming.

  Looking at her complacent and arrogant appearance, the Wen family couldn't help but grit their teeth in anger.

  The ninth sister began to consider whether she should smash the vase in her hand to vent her anger, but that would be a bit too humiliating, and it would also get little eleven beaten up. It seemed that what Ye Xiao's concubine said was true - you can't gain an advantage by being unreasonable...

  But soon, Jiu Jie didn't have to worry or be anxious anymore, because with the sound of a dog barking, a girl wearing a floral blouse and a little boy appeared at the door, it was Liu Jie and Bao Ge.

  Although the two of them arrived, Miao's wives did not let them get off the car. Moreover, they instructed two women to keep an eye on them, fearing that a slight mistake would occur.

  But I don't know how at this time, the two of them actually ran here, and that Bao Ge's slingshot was pulled full, as if preparing to attack someone?

  "Nose!"

  "Whoosh——"

  "Bang——"

  With a shout from Liu Jie, the slingshot in Bao Ge's hand shot out instantly and hit the target he was aiming at, which was Ye Xiao Zhu with a smug smile on his face that had not yet been withdrawn.

  "Uh...... Hehe......"

  As they looked at Ye Xiaojie's suddenly red and swollen nose, everyone couldn't help but pause for a moment, then burst out laughing. The maidservants in the house also covered their mouths, seemingly trying to hold back their giggles.

  "Little mongrel..." Ye Xiaoqie suddenly went mad, and saw Bao Ge preparing to give her a second blow under the instigation of Liu Jie, so she immediately rushed over without caring about anything.

  Bao Ge is just a four-year-old child after all, and he's really scared.

  "Brother Bao, come quickly!" Xiao Shi hastily called out to Brother Bao, and he immediately rushed over to her.

  Ye Xiaosai pounced on empty air, but somehow didn't land steadily. With a "thud", she fell to the floor with her four limbs in the air.

  At this moment, Jiuniang couldn't help but close her eyes and sigh.

  Alas, this impulsive and reckless fellow has gotten into trouble again.

  Others may not have seen clearly, but she saw it very clearly. The reason why Ye Xiaojie fell was because of Liu Jie's kick...

  "Auntie, how are you... is everything all right?" The maids and servant girls in the house all rushed over hastily.

  "Ow... it hurts so much..." Ye Xiao Qing no longer needed to pretend to be ill, her face deathly pale as she moaned on the ground.

  "Go quickly and ask for a doctor!"

  "Quickly go and invite Young Master!"

  "Hurry up and help your aunt get up..."

  The maidservants in the house were all busy and flurried.

  Xiao Shi naturally also saw that this was Liu Jie's doing, and let out a somewhat helpless sigh, shaking his head. He picked up Bao Ge and gave a look to Jiu Jie.

  The ninth sister naturally understood her meaning and took advantage of the chaos to slip away.

  She quietly made a gesture to her sisters, and several of them followed behind Xiao Shi, quickly going out the door...

  "Halt!"

  But the crowd had not gone far when they heard a loud shout from behind, and then saw an angry-faced man rushing up with several small servants.

  It seems like there's no escape!

  Watching the newcomer, Jiu Si'er couldn't help but let out a sigh in her heart.

  "You bunch of shrews, you truly live up to being Wen Si's sisters, with hearts as cruel and sinister as hers. You actually harmed Xing Er, harmed my son. I will never let this matter rest."

  It's none other than the fourth sister's husband-to-be, Yuan Shi Huan, the youngest son of Duke Yuan.

  A typical degenerate descendant of a noble family, brainless and uneducated, with no achievements to speak of, relying on the prestige of his ancestors to get by, yet still pretending to be elegant and refined, arrogant and self-important... Ugh, but what's most unbearable about this person is that he actually hits women.

  When she saw this man, Jiu Si'er suddenly remembered the wound on her fourth sister's face, and thought of Su Shifu's life which was full of sorrow and hardship. As soon as these thoughts emerged, the feeling of guilt that had just sprouted in her heart also vanished without a trace...

  "Master Yuan, how can you be so vicious? Your concubine was originally frail and just fell down while trying to beat the young master, which led to her injury. It's a case of self-inflicted harm, why blame others?" Just as Duan Jiu'er was thinking this, Duan Xiao stepped forward with a solemn expression to defend herself.

  Yes, it's indeed worthy of a thousand gold coins from the imperial censor. A few words were spoken briefly and concisely, yet they were extremely damaging.

  Jiujie felt even more admiration for San Sao.

  "Hmph, you...you..." Yuan Shi Huan was naturally left speechless, tongue-tied for half a day, and unexpectedly spoke with malice, "You this woman, not only are your looks ugly, but also so cunning and changeable, the Wen family actually still lets you show your face, aren't they afraid of losing face?"

  Xiao's face suddenly turned red with shame and anger, her eyes welling up with tears. The Wen sisters also couldn't help but feel indignant.

  "Hehe..." But after a moment of silence, Jiu's serious expression suddenly crumbled and she burst out laughing. "Young Master Yuan is enjoying the fine weather today, isn't he?"

  A sudden sentence made Yuan Shihuan stunned, and the sisters and Xiao Shi were also stunned.

  "If not, how dare Young Master Yuan make such remarks? If there really is wind, it will blow away the three inches of unrotten tongue...". But in an instant, Ninth Sister's small face suddenly turned cold, her eyes gleaming like knives. "A son of a noble family, yet you behave so despicably and lowly, favoring concubines over wives, beating women, and now insulting a woman from the inner quarters. Don't you fear retribution? No, Young Master Yuan has already suffered retribution, it's just that the retribution won't be on your body, but on the body of your future child. So...it seems that your future child will indeed have three longs and two shorts, don't blame others, it's all because you haven't accumulated good deeds."

  As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Shi and Wen Jia sisters almost applauded with joy, while Yuan Shihuan's face turned iron-green. "You wretched servants, how dare you speak such vicious words! See if I don't bind you up and avenge my unborn child!" As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand at the several small servants behind him.

  "How dare you! If you touch a daughter of the Wen family, the Wen family will never let you off!" Xiang's anger flared up and she stepped forward.

  "What else are you afraid of? What is your family now anyway? Take action!" Yu Shih-huan said again.

  Those few young men immediately came forward. How could Xiao Shi let these family servants touch the several girls in the house? He immediately protected them behind him.

  The Wen family's sisters couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and naturally, Jiu also included.

  She actually dared to tie up her own woman, it seems that she really underestimated the extent of Yuan Shih-huan's scumbag.

  I don't know what those men who always compromise and fear offending others would think if they knew that this exceptional woman doesn't care about them at all.

  It's not the time to think about that now, but rather how to resolve this current predicament. If they really get tied up and end up in some private torture chamber or something, it's likely that none of them will be able to get married in the future.

  Isn't there anyone who can save them...

  "Stop it, Shi Huan, what are you doing?"

  It seemed as if Heaven had heard Jiuniang's heartfelt cry, and at the critical moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out.

  Everyone was stunned, and they looked towards the corner gate on that side, only to find that several men had appeared there at some unknown time.

  "Second Uncle, didn't you attend the morning court today?" Looking at the robust man wearing a round-necked robe who spoke up, Yuan Shihuan's earlier momentum instantly dissipated, and he asked with a smile.

  This man is none other than Yuan Shih-huan's uncle, Yuan Chen. He was the top military graduate of the Imperial Military Academy eighteen years ago and is now a General-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards. He is also the most promising member of the Yuan family at present.

  This Yuan family is not like the Wen family, all major powers are managed by the eldest son of the first wife, no more, in reality, it's a matter of strength, and the declining and incompetent branch of the national duke naturally falls to the lower position. Moreover, the title of Jingguo Gong is also like that of the Wen family, cut off after five generations, this is the last generation, so Yuan Shihuan saw this pillar-like second uncle in the family with such a face.

  At that time, the second master Wen Chonghe insisted on marrying the fourth sister to Yuan Shihuan, and a large part of the reason was also because of the second house of the Yuan family...

  "Fortunately, I'm on leave today, otherwise I don't know what other absurd things you'd get up to. Hurry back inside!" The man first glanced at the Wen family's womenfolk, then his gaze fell on Yuan Shi Huan's face, saying sternly.

  "Second Uncle..." Yuan Shihuan naturally didn't want to, and argued, "What's strange about my nephew? It's all because of these wicked women. They knew that Hsing-erh wasn't feeling well, but they still came to the door to make trouble. Now that Hsing-erh has been disturbed by them until she miscarried, how could I let them off? You should know... you should know that it's the descendant of our Yuan family!" By the end, Yuan Shihuan had a sorrowful expression on his face.

  One mouthful of apricot, and Yuan Zhen's face turned a bit green. He hastily glanced at the several men on one side, especially the one wearing black clothes, until he was sure there was nothing unusual, then walked to Yuan Shi Huan's front, pulled him aside a few steps, and whispered, "You just go to the front hall to find your second aunt, let her take charge for you, don't act rashly on your own. Did you hear?"

  Yuan Shih-huan nodded immediately upon hearing this.

  It's clear that the two uncles are supporting him, otherwise they wouldn't have let him go find Auntie Er. Hmph, after finding Auntie Er, he'll complain again and think of a way to deal with the Wen family's shrews...

  Jiujie's hearing had always been sharp, and since Yuan Zhen was speaking in her direction, she could hear everything he said even though his voice wasn't loud.

  She involuntarily bit her lip tightly and secretly sighed with indignation in her heart.

  Never thought that Wen's family and those men's good relationship was actually nothing in his eyes.

  She absolutely doesn't believe that Yuan Zhen is unaware that they are the ladies of the Wen family, yet he actually behaves in this manner, and really can't see how much he values this marriage with the Wen family.

  Is it really because of that descendant?

  It seems that Fourth Sister's initiative to step down is indeed correct!

  It's just... I never thought that in the imperial capital, the Wen family would have such a low status. No wonder her elder aunt was so ruthless in arranging the marriage with Princess Xin. The world is indeed a cold place!

  Xiao Shi and the other sisters of the Wen family seemed to have also vaguely heard that sentence, understood its meaning, and one by one fell silent. The sixth sister, who had been cold and distant since she became foolish, hung her head, even the small white dog in her arms seemed to sense something, not making a sound, only staring with a pair of black eyes.

  The ninth sister suddenly came up with a breath of air, took a few steps forward, and slightly bowed to the black-clad man, "Have met the king, I wonder if the king is doing well lately?"

  Looking at the frowning expression on the man's calm and expressionless face, Jiujie only felt a sense of accomplishment. She thought that even if this man didn't help her, it would be enough.

  Strike against facial paralysis, is everyone responsible?...

  ……
