Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Qu Xiuxiu didn't expect that she would suddenly change her attitude and start crying, which caught her off guard. Tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had suddenly forgotten how to cry, and she was completely stunned.

Liu looked at her daughter with heartache. If the Qu family hadn't pressed her too hard... How could her well-behaved daughter have changed so much? It was all because of her, as a mother, that she failed to protect her well.

Aunt Cui Lian was persuading Liu from the side, glancing at Wu and her daughter with disdain, and making sarcastic remarks from time to time.

Xu Lingling clapped her hands in joy, and it was such a relief to see the mother and daughter being humiliated!

"Yao...Sister Yao, how could you be so unfair to me and Mother? Today, we are just here to kindly remind Second Aunt and Sister that Grandma is still the elder of the family. We should be filial to her and not eat alone."

Qu Xiuxiu wiped her tears and explained to the people around her, her face full of grievance with her slightly red eyes lowered, and her soft eyes twirled the corner of her clothes at a loss.

The surrounding villagers looked at the meat in the bowl embarrassedly, but it was not difficult to see from their eyes that they agreed with Qu Xiuxiu's words.

A straightforward woman from an unknown family stepped forward to persuade Qu Jingyao: "Yao girl, don't blame your aunt for being nosy. This is a broken bone and the tendons are still connected. If your grandma is still here, she is still the elder, isn't she?"

Liu pulled her daughter, shook her head at her with a worried look on her face, and sighed softly: "Yaoyao, you should send some to your grandmother. Otherwise, it will be unacceptable and let the Wu mother and daughter tarnish your reputation."

Qu Jingyao's eyes were red, and tears streaked across her delicate face. She gently pinched Liu with her hand in her sleeve, and gestured to her with a slight glint in her eyes.

Liu opened her mouth to say something, but Xuan Shiliu stepped forward to stop her.

"Madam, let the young lady handle it. Trust her."

Qu Jingyao looked at Xuan Shiliu with more admiration in her eyes. Seeing that Liu, who had been comforted, no longer tried to stop her, she felt relieved.

She glanced around with red eyes. At this time, her brother Qu Qingchen also turned back quickly, glanced at Wu with a cold look, and then looked at his sister worriedly, only to see her shaking her head slightly, signaling him not to move.

Qu Qingchen clenched his palms into fists and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

The next second, amid everyone's discussions, Qu Jingyao suddenly collapsed on the ground and cried out in grievance.

Xuan Shiliu's eyes twitched, and a look of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes. He secretly gave the female master a thumbs up in his heart.

"Isn't our family filial enough? My parents shoulder all the chores for the Qu family. My eldest uncle and his family live in town, and my younger uncle is in school. They only come back when it's time to pay taxes or when we need money.

My brother and I learned to work at a young age, even washing my aunt's underwear in the middle of winter. How could we be unfilial? Grandma, just because she wanted to eat meat, forced Dad to go hunting in the mountains despite his injuries, which led to his fall off the cliff. How could we be unfilial?

Was it because I didn't listen to Grandma that I was sold to the Wu family as a concubine? Even when we were kicked out of the house and wanted to thank the villagers with the wild boar we hunted, we were accused of being unfilial? Is Grandma really so determined? At this time, she let my aunt come and force our family?"

Qu Jingyao's body trembled slightly, and tears flowed like a flood. She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, as if she had lost all support in despair. Her sad and accusing voice struck the hearts of everyone present.

The villagers who had just been so arrogant lowered their heads in shame. They had always seen how the Qu family treated the second branch of the family. They saw how they treated them, no better than the servants of a wealthy family. Were they possessed by some evil spirit?

Seeing the changing expressions of the people around her, Qu Jingyao lowered her eyes, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and at an angle where no one was paying attention, she raised the corners of her lips and glanced at Qu Xiuxiu provocatively: Don’t you like to act? I’ll accompany you!

The knuckles of Qu Xiuxiu's fingers, which were clutching her clothes, turned white. Her eyes were covered with thick layers of haze, and a look of resentment flashed across her face. If it weren't for Qu Jingyao's face, she would have really thought that the little bitch had been replaced and had become so sharp-tongued and difficult to deal with.

"Sister, we... there are some things we don't know. Dad works in the shop in town, and Mom has to take care of my younger brother. We really don't know what's going on at home. What's more, my father was also wronged and was arrested just like that. How will our family survive without Dad's monthly allowance? My younger brother still has to pay tuition..."

Qu Qingchen stepped forward and helped his sister up from the ground, gently brushing the dust off her dress: "Sister, let's not get entangled with those people. It's my fault for not protecting you well."

Qu Jingyao sobbed twice in grievance, biting her lower lip and shaking her head. Liu's face was also covered with tears, and she shed tears silently. Ever since she entered the Qu family, she had been bullied by Xu, and even his children had suffered as a result.

The village head was holding the bowl of meat in his hand, frowning and sighing:

"Alright! Wu, you and your daughter, stop making such a fuss. Just take this bowl of meat to your mother-in-law. Were the Lius and their sons being unfilial today? Then why didn't you ask the people who were kicked out of the house where they stayed last night and whether they had eaten? Even though you've split up the family, does that mean you're no longer a family? Do you only show up when there's something beneficial?"

Listening to the headman's words, Wu stiffened her neck and said unconvincedly, "It was Liu who proposed the division of the family. What does it have to do with us? Besides, it's written in black and white! We still have to pay the due filial piety, right?"

Qu Xiuxiu stood aside with her eyes lowered, not knowing what she was thinking about.

The head of the village was so angry at Wu's unreasonable behavior that he was fuming. This woman was just like Xu. Among the Qu family, only Qu Shusheng's family was kind and righteous.

"Tsk, since you've split up the family and don't care about other people's lives, then don't come up and ask for anything good from them! You always use filial piety to your elders as an excuse, only you mother and daughter are so shameless."

Xuan Shiliu raised his eyebrows sarcastically.

Just as Wu was about to open her mouth to curse, she was stopped by Qu Xiuxiu behind her. Now that all the villagers have turned to Qu Jingyao's family, if they continue to make trouble, her reputation will not be any better. If this gets to the town, she will not be able to get married.

"Forget it, mom. I didn't mean it..." Qu Xiuxiu's disgusting look made Xuan Shiliu, who was standing beside her, vomit out in disgust.

"vomit......"

"you......"

Qu Jingyao put her hands to her lips and laughed out loud, then said loudly to the Wu mother and daughter:

"We will not be short of filial respect for grandma. The documents for dividing the family property mentioned annual and festival gifts. Today is not an annual festival. We are just hosting a banquet for the villagers. It has nothing to do with filial piety. Don't try to force your opinion."
