Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1463: Revised: Chapter 1460 Don’t Mind

When Duke Zheng and the Matriarch of the Liu family arrived after receiving the news, what they saw was this farce.

“Enough, stop!” Duke Zheng shouted angrily.

The group of people who were fighting from inside the house to the courtyard stopped.

The maidservants trembled, kneeling on the ground not daring to speak.

Upon hearing her grandfather’s voice, Liu Qingduo shuddered instinctively. She looked up and saw the furious Liu Yanzhen. Remembering something, she didn’t bother to tidy her hair or clothes, and ran to Liu Yanzhen angrily accusing, “Grandfather, Tang Beauty has gone too far. I kindly came to see her, but she directly hit me. Look, my face is scratched by her.”

Madam Tang didn’t expect the usually mindless Liu Qingduo to cunningly pull this trick. Furious inside, she hastily tidied her hair, looked sorrowfully at Liu Yanzhen with a face full of grievance, “Master, it was improper for me to hear Second Miss saying that I am unworthy of bearing your child, in my grief, I retorted a few words, and Second Miss got angry and started hitting me. It was my fault for retaliating, it is my mistake.”

Liu Qingduo’s smug smile froze on her face. She wasn’t afraid of Madam Tang’s rebuttal that she had struck first, as everyone in this residence was replaced by her grandmother and wouldn’t speak up for Madam Tang. She only needed to shift the blame onto Madam Tang, and her grandfather would surely side with her in this farce.

Unexpectedly, Madam Tang directly accused her of the misdeed, even though it’s how she felt, she never said it aloud.

Liu Qingduo’s face turned red with anger, “You are lying! When did I ever say such things? Don’t deceive my grandfather. My temperament is well known to him. Even if I dislike you, I wouldn’t disparage the matter of heirship.”

Liu Qingyuan glanced at the speaking Madam Tang, understood her calculation, and added, “Grandfather, Second Sister’s temperament might be impulsive, but she knows where the line is. She has never said such things.”

Madam Liu gazed sternly at the servants kneeling in the courtyard and asked, “Explain, why did Second Miss and Tang Beauty start fighting?”

Several maidservants trembled, “In response to Senior Lady, Second Miss didn’t acknowledge Tang Beauty as an elder, and somehow they started fighting.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingduo was even more enraged, “Just a concubine, how can she be considered my elder? Grandfather, I wasn’t wrong.”

Liu Qingyuan felt the same way, knowing that even previously their grandfather thought this way. However, she anxiously glanced at Liu Yanzhen hoping to find something unusual in his expression.

Madam Liu reprimanded softly, “Second Yatou, be quiet. How can you start a fight over a word? Apologize at once!”

Liu Qingduo was reluctant.

Liu Qingyuan squeezed her hand, warningly glared at her.

Angry again, Liu Qingduo couldn’t defy her mother and sister’s words. She gritted her teeth and reluctantly said, “It was wrong of me to hit, but you also spoke incorrectly and should apologize to me.”

Madam Tang saw the Liu family’s female members unite against her, coldly laughing inside but shedding tears sorrowfully, “Second Miss, you are too humble. I understand my lowly status but just wish to live well. I don’t want to compete with you. Please don’t get angry because Master comes to my yard. I merely serve the Master, how could I have a say in matters.”

Liu Qingyuan’s eyes flickered, “I apologize, my sister was impulsive. She has apologized to you. Please don’t mind it.”
