The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Jinshu told the truth about what happened to him.

"I ran into Juying right after I left Yujun Pavilion. She saw me and, without a word, started beating me up. She said the Master had changed his mind and that the Madam had no one to back her up. She even tried to have the Meng Residence's servants arrest me. Luckily, Brother Tu Shi and his men showed up at the entrance to Yujun Pavilion and stopped the Meng Residence's men."

"As for Miss Meng, I don't know whether she is there or not, but when Juying hit me, she glanced several times in the direction of the private room on the second floor of Daoxiangzhai across the street."

Daoxiangzhai is considered a mid-to-upper-class restaurant in the capital, but ordinary people cannot afford it.

Juying looked over there frequently, thinking that Meng Xinyue was also there.

In this way, Song Yuntang had a plan in mind.

She stood up.

"Xia Ning, call a few people to follow me, and Jinshu should follow too. We should fight back the way they attacked us."

It is dinner time now. Yujun Pavilion is in East City, not too far from home. I guess Meng Xinyue hasn't left yet.

Some grudges are better to be avenged on the same day.

It changes the taste if you delay it for a day.

Since she came to the capital, she has never fought in public. Do those people think that she can only hide behind a man and cry?

Didn’t A Rao say that everyone in the capital is waiting to laugh at her?

Today she wants to let these people know that no matter if she has a man's support or not, she will not let anyone bully her.

Xia Ning responded and asked someone to go.

A group of people came to Daoxiangzhai in a carriage.

Song Yuntang got off the carriage wearing a veiled hat and led the maids and servants directly into the lobby of Daoxiangzhai.

Seeing that the newcomers were coming with great momentum, the shopkeeper stepped over the waiter and blocked their way.

"Madam, are you here for dinner?"

Song Yuntang directly stated his purpose.

"Is Miss Meng still in Daoxiangzhai?"

The shopkeeper exchanged a glance with the servant beside him, then turned to look at her.

"I wonder what this lady wants to see Miss Meng about?"

Song Yuntang's voice was a little cold.

"Miss Meng's maid hit my maid, and I came here to seek justice from her."

Hearing her name, the shopkeeper didn't dare to provoke her and saluted her with a fist.

"Please wait a moment, my lady. I will send someone to notify Miss Meng right away."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"Please tell Miss Meng that if you dare to do something, you must take responsibility for it. Otherwise, you are a coward!"

The noise downstairs was heard by the people upstairs without any notification.

Meng Xinyue is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and is a person with a high aspirations. Since Song Yuntang has said so, it would be somewhat disgraceful for her not to show up.

"Le'an County Master is so arrogant!" She led the maid down from upstairs, "My maid was just teaching a slave girl who had committed a crime in my courtyard a lesson on my behalf. Do you really want to beat me up?"

There was hatred on her face.

This bitch!

After the previous banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lord Yan submitted a letter of impeachment, accusing her of taking human life lightly and not considering the lives of servants seriously.

It's just a piece of trash.

If he doesn't obey, what will happen if he is beaten or killed?

Which family in Beijing doesn’t have a few lives on their hands?

But the impeachment was directed at her.

Isn't it just to target her?

As a result, my father was reprimanded by His Majesty for not educating his daughter well. When he came back from the palace, he was furious and locked her up in the ancestral hall for a month, causing her to suffer a lot.

Song Yuntang refused to give in.

"Jinshu is now my mistress's, not a slave that Miss Meng can kill at will. Miss Meng treats me with such disregard. Could it be that she thinks your title as the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion can surpass the title of the county mistress personally appointed by His Majesty?"

Meng Xinyue sneered.

"County Lady, please stop trying to change the subject. Even if Ah Si has a new master, it can't hide the fact that she once made a mistake. My maidservant stood up for me, her master. I'll beat her if she gets hit. What do you think?"

Under the veil, Song Yuntang's voice was emotionless.

"If you hit me, you have to pay me back."

Meng Xinyue raised one corner of her lips, her tone full of gloating.

"I heard that Lord Xu has been hanging out with the other officials in the court at places of entertainment recently. I imagine he carries the scent of other women on him when he returns home at night. Instead of yelling at me here, the county lady should go back and think of a way to win Lord Xu's heart."

She moved closer to Song Yuntang.

"So what if you're a county lady? If you don't have anyone to support you in your family and your husband doesn't love you, you're just an empty shell. Although I don't have a title, I have the support of the Shangshu Mansion, so I'm not someone you can mess with."

Song Yuntang narrowed his eyes and slowly tightened his hands under his sleeves.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, what Meng Xinyue said was the truth. Her current position in Beijing was certainly earned through her own efforts.

But if her husband doesn't take her seriously and her family can't support her, her situation will be awkward.

But Meng Xinyue was wrong about one thing: she was not a woman who completely depended on men for survival.

It is certainly easy to have a man, but she can also support herself when he is not around.

He raised his hand and made a gesture, and then he saw servants rushing in from outside the door.

Meng Xinyue frowned as she looked at the situation.

"Song Yuntang, are you sure you want to attack me in public? Have you considered the consequences?"

Song Yuntang said lazily, "Every wrong has its perpetrator. Today, Miss Meng's maid Juying beat up my people. I will ask Juying to pay her back. Xia Ning, catch the person first. We will go outside to fight to prevent the things in Daoxiangzhai from being damaged."

It’s not that he is worried about damaging Daoxiangzhai’s things, but he wants to give the other person a taste of his own medicine.

Juying was the one who beat her in front of everyone, so she had to come back in front of everyone.

"Yes." Xia Ning pointed in the direction of Juying, "Catch her."

When the owner of Daoxiangzhai saw that Song Yuntang was not involved in his shop, he stepped back and acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

He is just a small fry.

The two women in front of him, one is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and the other is the county lady personally appointed by His Majesty, and is also the wife of a minister respected by His Majesty. Neither of them is someone he can afford to offend.

Juying was so scared that she shrank behind Meng Xinyue.

"No, Miss, please save this slave."

Meng Xinyue protected Juying and looked at Song Yuntang with anger on her face.

"Song Yuntang, do you really want to go against me in public?"

Song Yuntang ignored her.

"Xianing, make a quick decision."

Xia Ning nodded, stepped forward and pushed Meng Xinyue away, and asked the servants to take Juying to the outside of Daoxiangzhai. In front of people on the street, he asked Jinshu to slap her back one by one.

In the end, Juying was beaten black and blue and thrown to the ground like a piece of rag.

"If Miss Juying wants to treat her injuries, she can go to Xinglin Clinic for free." Song Yuntang said coldly, and led everyone away in a leisurely manner.

Meng Xinyue was left standing in front of Daoxiangzhai with a dark face, and the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled from being pulled.

She just felt that the scene just now was Song Yuntang rubbing her face on the ground.

For her, it was a great humiliation!

Meng Xinyue was angry and aggrieved. She glared hatefully in the direction where Song Yuntang left, then asked someone to help Juying up and lead her towards the palace.
