The two of them ran to the yard of Xiaoyu's house in one breath, and found a circle of villagers outside the yard.

One by one, they poked their heads, pointed, and whispered.

Some people even covered their mouths and snickered. Some sharp-eyed people in the crowd saw Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Yu and quickly touched the elbows of the people around them.

As a result, the snickers and discussions were suppressed, and a pair of strange eyes fell on Xiao Yu.

Yang Ruoqing even felt contempt among the crowd.

She frowned and glanced at Xiao Yu beside her.

Obviously, Xiaoyu is also very sensitive to this.

"Qing'er, why are everyone looking at me like this? I, I'm suddenly a little scared..." Xiaoyu whispered.

Yang Ruoqing held Xiaoyu's slightly cold hand, "Don't be afraid, let's go in and take a look."

The crowd made a way to let Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoyu enter the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard a 'bang!' sound coming from the house.

It was obviously the sound of a teacup falling to the ground.

The light rain at the door made my feet pause.

Immediately after, Uncle Chang Geng's violent and thunderous roar came out.

"This is the good daughter you discipline!"

"Hai Hao Hao, now Hao has made a big joke. How can you let me, Chang Geng, walk around the village with dignity in the future?"

"boom!"

Another bowl was smashed, accompanied by the cry of Aunt Guihua.

Outside the house, Yang Ruoqing clearly felt Xiaoyu's body stiffen suddenly.

She glanced at Xiao Yu beside her and saw that Xiao Yu's face was pale. Then she gritted her teeth, let go of Yang Ruoqing's hand and rushed to the door of the hall.

He raised his hand and pushed open the door.

…

The door of the hall was closed tightly, and Yang Ruoqing, who was inside the hall, didn't know if the villagers watching the excitement outside the yard had left.

But now it doesn't matter whether they leave or not.

Paper cannot contain the fire, and everyone in the village probably knows that Xiaoyu was rejected by the Ning family.

Yang Ruoqing turned her attention to the room.

The door was closed tightly, Xiao Yu knelt at the door of the east room.

Her head was lowered, her hair falling covering her face.

I couldn't see her expression, I could only see a circle of watermarks left on the ground in front of her knees.

Yang Ruoqing came to Xiaoyu and squatted down, holding her shaky shoulders.

Then, he looked up at the closed door of the east room in front of him.

In the east room, Uncle Chang Geng's violent coughing and Aunt Guihua's persuasion came.

"Dad Xiaoyu, don't be like this. Just drink some water..."

"Drink water? I'm almost mad at this unfilial daughter!"

"Daddy Xiaoyu..."

"Don't mention the name of that unfilial daughter to me. I don't have such a daughter!" Uncle Chang Geng yelled at Aunt Guihua again.

"I don't even think about my identity and status, and I still want to climb a high tree!"

"No wonder she didn't like the marriage our family arranged for her, and she hid in the south without telling us."

"I thought she was young, thinking about us as parents, and didn't want to get married so early."

"After working on it for a long time, it turned out that I wanted to climb a high branch!"

"Dad Xiaoyu, stop talking, save some face for our daughter..." Aunt Guihua cried and stopped her, but she couldn't stop her.

In the east room, the quarrel became more intense.

Chang Geng said: "Save your face? The Ning family came to the door and gave us fifty taels of silver to stop pestering their young master."

"This face has been used as the sole of others' shoes and is stepped on the ground. How can you still keep it? Can you keep it?"

In the room, Aunt Osmanthus's cry came again.

"How is my daughter inferior to others? To be humiliated like this..."

The entrance to the east room.

Xiao Yu kept her head buried and made no sound.

However, Yang Ruoqing was even more worried.

"Get up, you've been kneeling for too long. I'll help you go back to the room and sit down for a while," she said.

Xiaoyu shook his head and knelt on the ground without moving.

"Xiaoyu, don't be like this..." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoyu shook her head, but remained motionless, kneeling there like a clay sculpture.

Yang Ruoqing had no choice but to squat aside and continue to accompany him.

I don’t know when the quarreling and crying in the east room stopped, until a long time later, the door of the east room creaked open, and Aunt Osmanthus appeared at the door.

Xiaoyu raised a tearful face and looked at Aunt Guihua.

There was no blood on his face, and his eyes were full of guilt.

"mother……"

Xiao Yu called out, her voice hoarse.

"My father..."

Xiao Yu was about to speak but stopped, tears welling up again.

Osmanthus looked at her daughter with a complicated expression.

The woman wiped away her tears, feeling distressed and angry at the same time. She raised her hand and patted Xiaoyu's shoulder gently.

"Xiaoyu, you stupid girl, what have you done outside your father and me in the past two years, wuwuwu..."

The woman burst into tears.

Xiao Yu also cried so hard that she buried her head and knocked her head at Aunt Guihua's feet.

He repeated one sentence in his mouth: "Father, mother, it is the daughter who is unfilial, it is the daughter who is unfilial..."

His forehead hit the ground with a loud bang, which made people's hearts twitch.

Aunt Guihua panicked and quickly leaned over to hold Xiaoyu back.

However, Xiaoyu was going crazy and couldn't hold it back.

That end looked red and swollen with a big bump.

She continued to knock, and Aunt Guihua was completely panicked. She cried and called Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, please help me pull her up quickly. If she keeps knocking like this, her head will be broken!"

The two of them worked together to pull Xiao Yu along.

Xiaoyu still kept knocking as if he couldn't control it. After some pulling, Xiaoyu suddenly screamed, his eyelids turned white, and he fainted.

He hurriedly carried the fainted Xiaoyu to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then closed the door of the west room. Yang Ruoqing helped Aunt Guihua back to the main room.

In the hall, Sun and Dayun also came over.

Osmanthus was startled for a moment when she saw her two old sisters, and then sighed.

Dayun came forward and helped the sweet-scented osmanthus to the table.

"Mom, why are you here too?" Yang Ruoqing pulled Sun aside and asked in a low voice.

Sun said: "If something like this happens, can you not come? Your father is here too, and he is in your uncle Chang Geng's house."

"oh."

Yang Ruoqing nodded and returned to the table with Mrs. Sun.

At the table, Aunt Guihua wiped away her tears and was telling Dayun what happened today.

Yang Ruoqing pushed Sun to sit down, and she stood behind Sun, listening to Aunt Guihua talk about what happened before.

"At noon, a guest came to the house, and Xiaoyu's father drank a few more glasses of wine with the guest."

"In the afternoon, after seeing off the guests, I urged Father Xiaoyu to go to bed and lie down for a while."

"I had just closed my eyes when a carriage stopped at the door of our yard, and two people got out."

"The coachman stayed by the carriage and did not come in. He must be a butler-like person to enter the house."

"The man came into the house, took a look at the furnishings in my house, and asked me if I was Xiaoyu's mother. I said yes, and he asked me to call Xiaoyu's father over."
