Chapter 628: Chapter 629: Should Have Married Earlier_1 Chapter 628: Chapter 629: Should Have Married Earlier_1 Zhao Song glared at Zhao Danggui, “Now you’ve got no face to speak of others! I haven’t even settled the score with you yet!”

Zhao Danggui clenched her teeth. She had been planning to divert Zhao Song’s wrath towards Muniang, but who knew he was insistent on targeting her? She immediately said with a sense of grievance, “Father, what are you saying? Why don’t you reprimand Qiao Muniang for being so disrespectful to her elders in front of you, but instead, you pick on me for scolding a few outsiders? Who is really your own daughter here? Even if you are biased, you can’t be like this!”

Zhao Song’s complexion turned sour. He was a person who placed extreme importance on his children’s discipline. Muniang’s earlier actions did indeed seem inappropriate to him. After all, they were elders; how could she simply strike and speak so harshly? It wasn’t right, but Zhao Song was not inflexible. For shameless people like Mrs. Ji and her daughter, only by using Muniang’s method of fighting fire with fire could they be dealt with.

If it hadn’t been for Muniang’s arrival today, Zhao Song himself wouldn’t have known what to do with the mother and daughter duo. Instead, Zhao Danggui was causing chaos. Between the two, Zhao Song actually wanted to scold Zhao Danggui more and was not being partial.

But the most important point was that Muniang gave him a feeling that was just too different. Her demeanor, which seemed to look down upon the world, gave off the impression that she didn’t need to take anyone seriously. Even if he was her father in name, facing such a Muniang, he felt a sense of awe rise within him. Let alone that today she indeed struck his aunt by marriage, even if she had done something more outrageous, Zhao Song felt that with his capabilities, he seemingly had no right to criticize such a woman.

Suddenly, he remembered Muniang’s husband. They say birds of a feather flock together; truly, both members of this couple were not ones to be trifled with.

Zhao Song then cursed, “Stop trying to change the subject! What are you here for today, really? Even bringing Rongrong directly to the man’s house. Do you really not care about the girl’s reputation at all? What would people say if they heard about this?”

Zhao Danggui, however, remained indifferent, “I’m not like those shameless Mrs. Ji and her daughter. Rongrong is a relative from my own family, what’s wrong with me bringing her here? Those two are the shameless ones.”

She immediately pulled Wang Rongrong towards Zhao Jianghe and said with a smile, “Rongrong, why so shy? Call out to him. Weren’t you still constantly mentioning your brother Jianghe a few days ago?”

Zhao Jianghe hastily took a step back, “Elder sister, you better not cause trouble.”

Zhao Danggui was about to speak when she noticed that Zhao Song was on the verge of erupting in anger, the veins on his forehead throbbing. She truly felt a bit afraid in her heart.

Muniang didn’t wish to stay any longer. She had only come to deal with Mrs. Ji. As for Zhao Danggui, her own father was here. If Zhao Song wouldn’t handle her, could it be that they were waiting for her to take charge? Besides, Mrs. Lin couldn’t always rely on her for everything. Zhao Song was the one she could depend on at every moment for the rest of her life. This opportunity for practice should naturally be given to Zhao Song.

“Father, Mother, I shall leave first. As for elder brother’s marriage matters, I will come another day to consult father’s opinion. There are still some matters at the Embroidery House that I need to attend to,” Muniang said.

Zhao Song nodded, “That’s fine, you go ahead. I have an idea about Jianghe’s marriage. He won’t marry a girl who is so shamelessly indiscreet. As for the matter you were troubled with before, continue to keep an eye out for it.”

Zhao Danggui immediately started stomping her feet, “Father, what do you mean by that!”

Muniang looked at her indifferently for a moment, then turned and walked away.

After leaving the Zhao Family, Qingya couldn’t help but say, “Isn’t Lady going to do something about Mr. Zhao’s marriage? Just like that, we’re leaving. If that Zhao Danggui stubbornly begs Old Mr. Zhao to let that Wang Rongrong marry in, the old lady’s days may become quite difficult. Wang Rongrong is from the Wang family, so naturally, she will side with Zhao Danggui in everything. If she really does marry into the Zhao Family, how will she ever fulfill her duties to the old lady? I’m afraid she will be a constant source of distress.”

Muniang laughed softly, “If she were to marry, she would have been married long ago. Why wait until now?”

“What do you mean by that, Lady?”

“Although Jianghe previously didn’t marry because he was mourning, it didn’t mean he couldn’t get engaged. If Zhao Danggui were capable enough to persuade dad to soften his stance on this matter, Wang Rongrong would already be Zhao Jianghe’s fiancée, wouldn’t she? Why would we still be here now looking for a bride for Jianghe? Dad is well aware, and he’s not a fool. He knows Zhao Danggui’s intentions very well. Why should I bother worrying about this?”

Qingya nodded, “In that case, there’s nothing much to fuss about this matter. However, Lady’s actions today in front of Old Mr. Zhao, to strike someone, seemed truly inappropriate. Although Old Mr. Zhao didn’t say much after Zhao Danggui and her daughter complained to him, his expression was clearly not pleased. Such behavior is truly unfilial. If you had just held back at that moment and waited until after we left the Zhao home to discipline Mrs. Ji and her daughter, it would have been equally satisfying. If, as it stands now, your relationship with Old Mr. Zhao has become strained, it would have been a loss not worth the gain.”

Muniang sighed, “Am I not aware of that? But someone crafty like Mrs. Ji, once she finds out that my father is my weakness and that I dare not act up in front of him, she would likely take advantage of my father even more to cause trouble. In the end, it would probably lead to more problems.”

Qingya paused, feeling ashamed, and said, “So that’s how it is. Lady’s considerations are more thorough. But what should we do about Old Mr. Zhao now?”

Muniang paused before replying, “Next time, I will personally apologize to my father.”

The next morning, Hong Luo came back with news, saying that Zhao Danggui was severely scolded by Zhao Song yesterday. He kicked her and Wang Rongrong out together and declared that his son would rather remain a bachelor than marry a girl from the Wang family.

It was something Muniang had expected, so she did not pay much heed to it and merely nodded, “You may go back for now. Is dad already at the shop?”

“Not yet. Old Mr. Zhao was so angry yesterday that he woke up with a headache this morning. Naturally, he can’t go to the shop. The old lady is taking care of him.”

Muniang hurriedly asked, “Is it serious? Have they called a doctor?”

“They have. Lady, don’t worry, the doctor said it’s nothing serious, just that he needs good rest. He naturally won’t be going to the shop to busy himself these few days.”

“You go back first, I’ll stop by in a while.”

Hong Luo gave a respectful bow, “Yes.”

Muniang made a special trip to the Zhao Family. Mrs. Lin was full of worry: “Your dad is naturally quick-tempered, and now Danggui has made him even angrier. After saying those words yesterday, his heart has truly been chilled. It was just a matter of not letting Jianghe marry that girl, and Dangui resorted to crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself. Such unreasonable behavior! Look at what she has done to your dad; he’s laid up in bed!”
