Chapter 210 Old Lady Zhang Gets into Trouble

Just as the Ruan family was happily discussing Doctor Liu and Chen Donghua's happy occasion, little did they know that Old Lady Zhang was up to no good again.

She had heard that a great general had come to Jinwan Village with his wife and was staying at the Ruan family's house.

She thought that anyone who could become a great general must be a person who was upright and honest.

If that general knew that there were morally corrupt people in the house they were staying in, he would definitely act on behalf of Heaven and at least make sure that Chen Donghua and that wild man, Doctor Liu, didn't get away with it.

Old Mrs. Zhang was discussing with her second son, Ruan Dongchang, how to expose Chen Donghua and Doctor Liu, that adulterous couple, in front of the General.

"Mother, if the General thinks that woman is immoral, will he kick her out of Jinwan Village?" Ruan Dongchang chuckled.

"I've heard that high-ranking officials in the imperial court hate women who don't uphold traditional virtues. Chen Donghua has done something so shameful, her whole family will definitely be kicked out. Even if the village chief and the clan chief Ruan help them, it won't make a difference," Old Lady Zhang said with some resentment.

“If they are driven out of the village, will their houses and fields all belong to us?” Ruan Dongchang said smugly.

Old Mrs. Zhang chuckled along, saying, "That originally belonged to the Ruan family, so it's only right that we take it back."

“Mother, if we can get those fields and live in those big brick houses, then we’ll be rich!” Ruan Dongchang was so happy that he danced around as if he really was a rich man.

The conversation between the two was overheard by Ruan Dongyu's wife, Liu Xiaowan, in the room. She couldn't help but feel contempt: This mother and son are as shameless as ever.

"Mother, are Grandma and Second Uncle saying that the house belonging to Eldest Brother's family will belong to them?" Ruan Xiaotian, the eldest son of Ruan Dongyu, asked Liu Xiaowan in a low voice.

As a child of just over nine years old, Ruan Xiaotian naturally didn't understand what the adults meant, so he had to ask his mother.

"Big brother, you heard me right. I also heard what Grandma and Second Uncle said. That's what they meant." Another girl's voice said softly. This was Ruan Dongyu's seven-year-old eldest daughter, Ruan Huahua.

"Don't tell anyone what you've heard. Your grandma and second uncle are just talking nonsense. Alright, go wash your feet and go to bed early." Liu Xiaowan stopped the two children from discussing the topic any further.

Liu Xiaowan wanted to talk to her husband about this matter, fearing that her mother-in-law and brother-in-law might actually do something foolish at Xiaojun's house. Ruan Dongyu had been sent to the county town to handle some business and hadn't returned yet, so she was a little anxious.

The village's pill-making workshop is now in its early stages of operation, but due to a shortage of herbal ingredients, it requires a limited workforce.

Ruan Dongyu was chosen to work in the workshop because he was reliable and hardworking.

Ever since Ruan Dongchang showed off at Ruan Mumu's new house, everyone has had a very bad impression of him. They don't even give him any tasks to do. The Ruan clan chief said that even Ruan Xiaojun's second uncle is not an option.

After discussing the matter with Ruan Dongchang, Old Lady Zhang could not hide her excitement.

Under the bright moonlight, they hurried towards Ruan Xiaojun's house.

Just before dinner, Old Lady Zhang personally witnessed Doctor Liu stepping into the Ruan family's gate again.

However, getting into Ruan Mumu's house was not an easy task for them.

They had come to cause trouble before, but the servants were well aware of the two men's shameless nature and naturally would not make the same mistake again.

The old woman was standing outside the Ruan family's gate, stamping her feet anxiously, but she couldn't get in.

Left with no other choice, she had to shout at the top of her lungs, "General! General! You must open your eyes wide and not be deceived by this family! Their morals are questionable!"

The sound was so loud that it was particularly jarring in the quiet night.

Seeing this, Ruan Dongchang quickly joined in, shouting, "Dear neighbors, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, come and see! Everyone come and take a look!"

That shameless Chen Donghua has disgraced the Ruan family by secretly meeting with another man, completely disgracing them! We must implore the General to expel her entire family from Jinwan Village!

He shouted and waved his arms as if trying to attract everyone's attention.

At this moment, the sky was already shrouded in twilight, and the light gradually dimmed.

At this time of day, most families have already eaten dinner and are in a state of idleness.

The commotion at the Ruan family's door immediately attracted the attention and curiosity of the villagers, who flocked to the scene like a tide.

The noise from outside the main gate could be clearly heard from the front hall of the Ruan family's residence.

Just as they were about to send someone to see what was happening outside, a servant rushed in.

"Miss, miss, something terrible has happened! That old woman Zhang is causing trouble outside our door again."

The Ruan family members, the village chief, and the clan chief, who were having dinner in the front hall, all felt a sudden headache.

"General Qiao, that old woman Zhang specifically requests to see you," the servant said again.

Qiao Feng noticed that the Ruan family members all looked unwell, and even the village chief and clan chief had grim expressions. So he stood up and went out to see what was going on.

When Qiao Feng appeared at the gate, a villager whispered, "The General has arrived."

Old Mrs. Zhang pulled Ruan Dongchang to a spot not far from Qiao Feng, and with a thud, they knelt down.

Ruan Mumu and Qiao Tinghao, who were following behind Qiao Feng, both felt a sharp pain in their knees when they heard the voice. They exchanged glances twice but said nothing.

"General, you must be a reasonable person who values ​​family tradition, right? My daughter-in-law, Chen Donghua, is morally corrupt. She is unfaithful and has been having affairs with men. Please, I beg you, to expel her whole family from Jinwan Village." Old Mrs. Zhang tried her best to speak politely.

“Yes! General, my mother witnessed this with her own eyes!” Ruan Dongchang added, as if afraid that Qiao Feng wouldn’t believe him.

Qiao Feng looked at the two of them with a half-smile and said, "Oh, really? What did you see with your own eyes?"

"General, I saw with my own eyes my eldest daughter-in-law walk into the man's house," Old Lady Zhang replied anxiously.

"Does entering someone else's home mean you're morally corrupt? Does that mean we're morally corrupt now that we're living in the Ruan family's house?" Qiao Feng said sternly.

Qiao Feng's words startled Old Lady Zhang and Ruan Dongchang.

Yes! Just because someone enters another person's home, does that mean they are morally corrupt?

“She went into the home of a single man in the evening…” Ruan Dongchang wanted to struggle a little more.

"Do you know what a serious crime it is to slander a first-rank imperial consort?" Wang Hui asked sternly from the side.

"What? Who is a first-rank imperial consort?"

"Could it be that Xiaojun's mother is now a first-rank imperial consort?"

"Absolutely! Mumu has earned a title of Lady of the First Rank for her mother at such a young age, that's remarkable!"

.......

The villagers' discussions grew louder and louder.

Old Mrs. Zhang suddenly realized she had done something foolish, but it was too late.

She's gotten herself into trouble!
