Chapter 179 Shameless People
A sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly came from behind. Yan Wanwan reacted extremely quickly and dodged to the side.
Almost at the same moment, a broom fell heavily on the place where she had just stood, stirring up a cloud of dust on the ground.
She quickly turned around and saw an elderly woman standing there.
The old woman's hair was messy and her face was full of wrinkles, each of which seemed to hide deep resentment.
Her eyes were wide open, staring at Yan Wanwan intently. Her gaze seemed to be able to turn into a sharp blade and cut her into pieces. The air was filled with a suffocating tension.
"Who are you?" Yan Wanwan was about to ask, but was interrupted by a sharp roar before she could finish her words.
The woman put her hands on her hips, her face trembling with fear as she yelled at the top of her lungs, "You little bitch! My son is willing to marry you. That's the blessing you've earned in eight lifetimes. Just be happy about it! So many people have wanted to marry into my family, but my son wouldn't even look at them. And you're so good! I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, right?"
Yan Wanwan understood instantly that this was the scholar's mother.
She sneered in her heart. It was true that like son, like mother. This rude and unreasonable attitude was exactly the same.
"How dare you! How dare you be so disrespectful to the County Master!" Xiao Tao was usually outspoken, and now she was furious. Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide, and she immediately summoned the yamen runners and shouted, "Take this wicked woman away and give her five lashes of the board to serve as a warning to others!"
When the old woman heard the words "County Lady," the flesh on her face froze instantly, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly feigned composure and shouted, "What's wrong with County Lady? You're just a woman abandoned by a man! You're just a second-hand divorcee. My son wants you, why don't you just agree?"
Yan Wanwan had a stern expression, as if she hadn't heard anything. The moment she turned around, her posture was swift and her sleeves were slightly lifted.
Almost at the same moment, two yamen runners, as agile as cheetahs, stepped forward one on the left and one on the right, stretched out their hands to hold the woman's arms firmly, their movements were clean and neat, leaving no room for resistance.
When the scholar saw this, the blood drained from his face instantly and his eyes widened with fear.
His legs went limp and with a thud, his knees hit the ground hard, splashing up some dust.
He leaned forward, placed his hands on the ground, lowered his head, and pleaded in a trembling voice, "County Lady, my mother really doesn't know who you are. Please have mercy on her and forgive her this time!"
Xiao Tao had a cold smile on her lips, but it didn't reach her eyes, only adding a touch of chill. She took a step forward, folded her arms over her chest, and tilted her head slightly. She glanced at the scholar and the woman with disdain, snorting coldly, her tone full of sarcasm: "Don't you know? Are you and your son's ears stuffed with cotton and deaf? I just said clearly, word for word, that this is the county lady. But what did your mother say? How dare you be so presumptuous to the county lady! You are so bold, one of you wishful thinking, trying to climb up, and the other one is so audacious and spewing shit. Come! Take all these people who are disrespecting the county lady away!"
As soon as Xiao Tao finished speaking, two yamen runners came over with big strides, their steps steady and powerful. One of them stretched out his hand like a pair of pliers and tightly grasped the scholar's shoulders, while the other quickly grabbed the scholar's arm, twisted it hard, and restrained him steadily, and escorted him out.
The woman watched her son being taken away. Her eyes instantly turned red and her emotions completely lost control. She ran after the kidnappers, shouting at the top of her lungs, "What are you doing? Let my son go!"
She staggered, almost losing her balance. After finally steadying herself, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Son, tell her I agree to her marriage! If she keeps trying to control her and make things difficult for her, I, as her mother-in-law, won't be able to be polite!"
Yan Wanwan couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this. Her lips curled up high, her eyes filled with laughter, and she couldn't help but laugh. She knew in her heart that she must not have too much contact with these two guys, otherwise others would mistake them for the same kind, and then she would be unable to defend herself.
I thought this farce was over, but who would have thought that the scholar would shamelessly say to Yan Wanwan: "County Lady, my mother has already agreed to your marriage into our family. What are you dissatisfied with? Your behavior is extremely disrespectful to your elders and violates the seven grounds for divorce."
Yan Wanwan: “…”
Everyone: "..."
When everyone heard what the scholar said, they looked at each other in shock for a moment, and then burst into disbelief and laughter.
Someone couldn't help but shout, "Isn't this scholar obsessed with studying? He's just a poor scholar who couldn't even pass the imperial examination, and yet he's dreaming of such a beautiful thing! The county lady just refused so flatly, is he stuffing cotton in his ears, or is he simply living in his own fantasy? Does he think that the county lady will marry him obediently just because her mother nods? He doesn't even know who he is!"
"That's right, when did the county lady ever say she wanted to marry him? I've lived half my life and this is the first time I've seen such a shameless thing. Today really opened my eyes!"
Everyone was talking at once, and ridicule and mockery flooded towards the scholar like a tide.
"Bullshit, you are just envious of my son for winning the favor of the county lady, and jealous of the money and effort the county lady spends on my son. When the county lady marries into my family in the future, I will be the old lord, and I will drive all of you unruly people out of Nanping Prefecture and never let you set foot there again." The woman seemed to have the power to control Nanping Prefecture, and she yelled and cursed at the people around her.
Xiao Tao was so angry that her face flushed red, veins popped out on her neck, and her eyes were as big as copper bells, as if she was about to spit fire. She gritted her teeth and said, "They should drag this mother and son away and give them dozens of lashes. Only then will I be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Yan Wanwan's face was as gloomy as water, and a bone-chilling coldness emanated from her whole body. She walked towards the mother and son with light lotus steps.
When the mother and son saw Yan Wanwan coming, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they had smug smiles on their faces. They looked at each other, their eyes full of pride and contempt.
The woman was secretly pleased with herself: "Humph, what's wrong with the county lady? She's just afraid of me, her mother-in-law! As long as I use filial piety to pressure her, won't she obey me obediently?
The scholar was also thinking in his mind: Once I marry the county lady, I can use her power to rise to the top. With my talent and knowledge, it will be easy for me to be granted a title of nobility and become a prime minister in the future, right?
In the few short steps that Yan Wanwan took, the mother and son were already immersed in endless fantasies of a luxurious life in the future, as if the splendor and wealth of the county lord's mansion were already within their reach.
"Snapped!"
They stood there in a daze, feeling a burning pain in their chests.
Looking down, he saw an arm-long scratch on his chest, and blood was slowly seeping out.
"what!"
