Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 322.2: Farce-like Humiliation

This time, finally catching the opportunity, how can they possibly leave that easily, saying things such as……….

“Oh my, oh my, Xiu Ying, your charm sure is big, even the Min family uncle has all come to propose marriage.”

“The Min family uncle has always had deep feelings towards that paternal aunt, yet now, because of you, smashed the thing he stubbornly clung to. All say Xiu Ying, your talent and beauty all like that paternal aunt. It can be seen, really very much alike.”

“For the Min family uncle to be this wholeheartedly sincere, Xiu Ying, why don’t you just marry him? Isn’t grandfather sorry towards that Min family uncle? Since grandfather loves you that much, this is precisely a good opportunity for you to express your filial piety.”

“Although it’s possible that in a few years after marrying over, you’ll just end up as a widow, but you won’t need to worry about yiniangs, little concubines, and such, right?”

“Leave.” Even if having good upbringing, at this time, one still can’t help but be covered in cold frost.

“Aiyaa, this is getting angry? Hasn’t good niece always posed oneself as the most modeled young lady? This isn’t the manner you should have, or is it that good niece is also hypocritical and putting on an act, being one way in front, another way behind the back? Really should let grandfather and grandmother see this appearance of yours.”

“Seeing that you two are my elders, I thus never argued with you two, and towards you two, repeatedly tolerated. Could it be that you think I don’t have a temper? Immediately get lost from my place, otherwise I will certainly make you two kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days.” Pei Xiu Ying coldly said.

The two sisters in the past never once seen her like this before, and seemingly frightened by her imposing manner, they uncontrollably retreated a step, their complexion also exceptionally unsightly. However, they also knew that Pei Xiu Ying’s words really weren’t wild talk. Perhaps, just by going before grandmother and telling the truth, she’ll be able to make them suffer punishment. “Pei Xiu Ying, rather want to see, whether or not you can continue to be this impressive. Younger sister, let’s go.”

Once they were gone, Pei Xiu Ying no longer put on any airs, sitting down, and tightly clenched her fist, her eyes terrifyingly cold.

Pei Xiu Ying was the same as her great-grandfather, probably never expecting that Min Yu Han would go this far too. At this very moment, her hatred naturally overflowed the heavens, but she also knew that this matter, in the end, will certainly also be left unsettled. Regardless of what, going to the bride’s side to propose marriage, if the bride’s family does not allow, there’s still no reason to forcibly insist. It’s not like their Pei clan were pushovers.

In the end, it was still because the Pei clan right now was declining, not having actual power. If the Pei clan was at its peak like in the previous dynasty, then even the imperial family would all have to yield, and as a noble daughter of the Pei clan, they would be even more honorable than princesses. If as such, then how can a mere Min clan be this arrogant. Even an old bastard like him also dares to have delusions about her, dare to humiliate her?

In this moment, Pei Xiu Ying was increasingly determined. She must borrow Jin Qinwang to climb up, must become the most honorable woman in the world.

And in reality, just as Pei Xiu Ying expected, this at most was nothing more than a farce. Appearing this lively, but in actuality, never mind Min Yu Han this main party, there wasn’t even a proper person in charge. The so called ‘marriage proposal’ didn’t have the slightest sincerity, more like purely trying to humiliate the Pei clan. After such a battle, although it won’t go as far as to make the two families thoroughly have a fall out, it still won’t be too far off.

After driving away the people of the Min clan, looking to the courtyard full of red silk chests, the Pei clan leader was terrifyingly gloomy. Since it’s not for the sake of a ‘good union’, then clearly the Min clan won’t be that stupid as to prepare generous gifts. He ordered someone to have the chests opened up, and just as expected, there was actually a bit of something, but really more or less the same as empty chests.

The Pei clan leader’s whole body was densely covered in dark clouds. The people in the surrounding didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, even hating that they can’t look for a crack to squeeze into and from then on, thoroughly disappear.

“Min clan? Good, very good!” The Pei clan leader’s fist crackled loudly. “Prepare a ‘generous gift’ and have these things all sent back to the Min clan.” Although judging from the situation, it’s very possible that it’s just Min Yu Han’s handiwork alone, but the extremely angered Pei clan leader won’t easily let off the Min clan. To not give them a bit of a lesson, they’ll really think the Pei clan is easy to bully. “Let all the Pei Min-shi send the things back.”

Truthfully speaking, as a leader of a clan, for the Pei clan leader to take his anger out on women of the inner manor, this more or less would all be held in contempt. Having married into the Pei clan, they are already people of the Pei clan, and one of them was even his elder, also having both sons and daughters, four generations in one hall. Such a way of handling things, indirectly having them ‘driven back’ to their maiden family, how was it not disgracing them? Never mind the actual person, even their offsprings will burn in anger. However, at this time, the people in the surrounding didn’t dare to say anything.

There was actually that clever one that sensed the inappropriateness, and rushed back to the rear court to look for the clan leader madam. Don’t have it where one was not only unable to ‘payback’ the Min clan, but instead even let the Pei clan’s interior have problems arising.

Just as expected, those Pei Min-shi, after learning the Pei clan leader’s words, all turned green from anger, especially that eldest one, having been praying to buddha and abstaining from meat all year round, someone that couldn’t be more merciful, yet this while, genuinely got angry and smashed something, “He, Pei Zhi Shi, is too insufferable!”

The others perhaps would have the bitter water swallowed into the stomach, but this one won’t. Even if screaming to the heavens, it’s still the Pei clan leader being unreasonable.

Just as she was about to go look for the Pei clan leader to argue to his face, the clan leader madam hurriedly rushed over first, continuously saying good words and apologizing. Once all the good words were said, she finally had the person pacified. Even so, she still got unhesitantly kicked out by them. Having lived in luxury and honor for many years, especially sitting onto the position of clan leader madam, she has never once lowered herself like this, so to say there wasn’t the slightest resentment, that was impossible. However, this matter, she had no choice but to endure. Swallowing that anger, she finally went to go look for the Pei clan leader.

In the Pei clan, especially in the main residence, it was for the most part the Pei clan leader having the only say. What he says, his daughter-in-laws, children, and grandchildren, all can only obey.

Having been husband and wife for several decades, she couldn’t possibly not understand him. But this matter, he, a grown man, lacked consideration, so she can’t not question. Otherwise, if it gets out, the good reputation that’s been built will just be destroyed in the moment, and towards the Pei clan, it’s undoubtedly snow on top of hail. Fortunately, the Pei clan leader wasn’t completely obstinate, unable to take in words.

“It was this husband being thoughtless in one’s consideration. Fortunately madam prevented it. Later, I will personally go apologize to aunt-in-law (wife of father’s younger brother).”

The clan leader madam nodded, “In that case, this wife will return first.” Towards this husband that was like an honored guest, she also didn’t have anything to say.

As such, that Pei Min-shi that held high seniority in the clan escaped from the calamity, but the others weren’t that fortunate.

It was obvious that with the Pei Min-shi collectively ‘returning to the maiden home’, the uproar caused in Min County was also quite big. As the Min clan’s clan leader, this anger naturally was also quite big, especially seeing the ‘return gift’ that the Pei clan leader sent back, further making one clench one’s teeth in anger. But it was precisely this thing that nevertheless made the Min clan clan leader somewhat ‘fearful at shooting the rat in fear of breaking the vase’.

(T/N: Just like the Pei clan, the Min clan has an entire county named after them.)

Even if a large influential family, it’s still unavoidable for there to be dirty secrets. Of course, if just known internally, it was rather irrelevant, but what the Pei clan leader sent over was information against those of the Min clan that served in officialdom. It’s detailedness practically made one feel as if the Pei clan leader had personally witnessed himself. Having been in-laws for many generations, yet privately doing this kind of thing, how can one not get angry?

In contrast, Min Yu Han actually didn’t have that big of a reaction. After coming to understand the Pei clan leader’s character, these things, in his eyes, really weren’t all that strange. However, his own older brother using him to attack the Pei clan, vaguely preparing to bite off a chunk from the Pei clan, it seems his older brother has long had this kind of thought, just in the past, there wasn’t a good opportunity, that’s all. Min Yu Han was rather indifferent, “These things, why not hand over to Jin Qinwang.”

The Min clan clan leader blanked, “Fourth younger brother, are you certain?”

“Jin Qinwang isn’t that easy to exploit. The Pei clan ultimately will end up empty-handed…………..”
