The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"A meeting? Is it to discuss matters?"

"It almost means the same thing."

What can a drunkard discuss? In Cheng Youning's eyes, his mother was trying to get herself killed. He began to discuss with Shang Xi: "Mom, if it's not important, let's talk about it tomorrow. I have to attend the court tomorrow, so I should go back and rest!"

"It's very important. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep tonight!" Shang Xi was unmoved by any persuasion at this time. She had no idea of ​​her son's good intentions. She was stubborn and insisted on going to the inner room.

It was the first time that Cheng Youning saw his mother being so stubborn, and he had no choice but to follow her in.

As soon as Shang Xi appeared, the smell of medicine soup that had accumulated in the room quickly mixed with the unpleasant smell of alcohol. Cheng Feng moved his nose, looked at Shang Xi's confused eyes, and said casually: "Why are you still drinking? You came back a little late. If you were any later, I would have to go out to look for you."

"I didn't drink much. I have something to say. Help dad up."

"You are drunk, right? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you helping Dad up? Dad just took his medicine and lay down."

Shang Xi looked at Master Wan who had his eyes open and said, "Dad, you're still awake. Help me up. I want to hold a meeting with you guys."

This was such a shocking statement that Cheng Feng was almost unable to react. "You want to hold a meeting for us... What nonsense are you talking about? What has Dad done? Stop being so disrespectful. Go back to your own courtyard and sleep. You Ning should also hurry back to the Prince's Mansion. It's already so late!"

"I haven't said anything yet. No one of you is allowed to leave. Cheng Feng, help Dad up quickly. I have something to tell you guys."

Master Wan also saw that this man was too drunk to sober up. If he didn't sit up, he would not be able to walk. Master Wan raised his body and said to Cheng Feng in a somewhat dry voice: "Help me up."

Cheng Feng refused, "Why are you getting up? Don't listen to Shang Xi. She looks drunk. I'll wipe your face and then we can go to bed."

"I'm not sleepy yet. I want to hear what my daughter-in-law has to say to us!"

There was no choice. Under the urging of Shang Xi and Master Wan, Cheng Feng had to help his father up and sit him on the bed.

Shang Xi saw this and became more energetic than before. She also ordered Cheng Feng and Cheng Youning to sit by the bed in order of age. When she saw that everyone was sitting upright, she spoke solemnly: "According to what I have discovered, a bad atmosphere has been growing in our Fengying City recently."

Several people listened to the drunk Shang Xi's story in silence, "Let me tell you, the ministers and officials in the court are no longer focused on their official duties. They are secretly stealing and pursuing women. Not only are they not ashamed of this, they also enjoy it as a kind of elegant hobby. And those scholars who study hard in the cold window, with their ambitions and talents, do not hurry up to take the exam to gain fame, but instead linger in the places of fireworks and cannot extricate themselves."

All three of the grandparents and grandchildren present were not surprised. Shang Xi was quite dissatisfied with this. "How can you be so calm? You haven't seen that brothel before. The house is super large, super luxurious, and super grand. The bustle inside is as lively as the New Year. I warn you, none of you are allowed to go to that kind of place. It is not a place for decent people to go."

Seeing that the three men were staring at her in silence, Shang Xi repeatedly asked them questions until she heard a satisfactory answer: "Did you hear that? You can't go to that place. Did you hear that?"

The three men had no choice but to nod.

At this time, several people heard Shang Xi say: "Let me tell you, it costs a lot of money to go there. We just went to Jiaomanlou for a while, and we didn't do anything, not even a sip of wine, but my sister spent two hundred taels of money on prostitution. I heard that people who go in and out of Jiaomanlou spend a lot of money, and people without money can't even enter the gate of Jiaomanlou. What's more outrageous is that those people are just for the talented women of Jiaomanlou to brush willows and flowers under the moon, reciting poems and couplets. It's ridiculous, they are really crazy!"

"I think you are crazy!" The voice came from behind. When Shang Xi turned around, he met Mrs. Wan's angry eyes.

Shang Xi immediately slumped his shoulders and said in despair: "Mom, why is it you again!"

"Yes, it was me! Running around for a day would be fine, but I heard you even went to a brothel! Have you lost your way? You're still pointing fingers and telling your father, your husband, and your son to set the rules. Have you forgotten the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?"

"Mom, what you said is wrong. The law is equal, there is no superiority or inferiority. It can't be just women who follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Men also have to follow male virtues. I was teaching them how to be a good person, and you interrupted my train of thought."

"You have no respect for elders or younger brothers. I think you are rebelling against the heavens."

"Ah - help me -" Shang Xi screamed every time Madam Wan pinched her, and finally succumbed to Madam Wan's clutches. She gave in while shouting: "Mom, I was wrong, please stop pinching me..."

How could Madam Wan let her off so easily? "Come here, send this damn girl to the ancestral hall to reflect on herself. Do not release her without my order."

"Mom, I haven't finished yet. This male morality refers to the moral character of men, which is similar to the "Female Rules"..."

"This is outrageous. Your father and I are not dead yet, but you are setting rules for the Wan family! Your father is so sick that he can't get out of bed, but you won't let him rest in the middle of the night, and you also let the three of them observe male virtues. Asshole, your mother is in her sixties and has never heard that men should observe male virtues. Today you have taught me a lesson! I am usually too indulgent with you, which leads to your disrespect for elders. Someone, send the Crown Prince's Consort to the ancestral hall to reflect immediately. If you don't reflect well, don't even think about leaving the ancestral hall."

Before Shang Xi could react, she was sent to the ancestral hall by two servants who came in.

The room was surprisingly quiet, leaving only three men staring in the direction where Shang Xi was dragged away.

Mrs. Wan's face, which had turned green due to Shang Xi's anger, became even uglier when she saw the people sitting on the bed, from big to small, from old to young. She pointed at the three generations of grandparents with her handkerchief and said angrily, "You have no backbone!"

Finally, Madam Wan pointed the finger at Cheng Feng: "Cheng Feng, your wife is getting more and more unreasonable. If you don't take care of her, she will ride on your neck... No, she is already riding on your neck. If you continue to indulge her like this, your father and I will be pissed off to death by her."

Cheng Feng was the most embarrassed one. He also thought that what happened just now was fake and did not happen.

"Mom, Shang Xi was drunk today, so she was a little unruly. Don't worry, I won't let her drink in the future. If she doesn't drink, she won't be unruly."
