CHAPTER 1967: CHAPTER 1969: SECOND AUNT CAUSES TROUBLE

"What’s going on? So noisy early in the morning? Don’t you know the young master is still asleep?" As soon as she left the courtyard, Yang Chuxia’s tone wasn’t pleasant.

Hearing Yang Chuxia’s voice, the knocking that had originally stopped started up again, "Yang Chuxia, come out here!"

Isn’t that Ms. Qian of Wang Family’s voice? What’s up with her?

"Go open the door for me." What’s with all the fuss early in the morning? With all the good food and drink provided, there are still so many issues. Yang Chuxia wasn’t happy; if it weren’t for the sake of her second uncle’s family, she really would have wanted to send this person back to their old home.

Ming Lan led people to open the door. Ms. Qian of Wang Family’s face was pressed against it and, with a tug from inside, she lost her balance and fell over.

Mingqiu and Ming Lan hurried forward to help her up, but Ms. Qian of Wang Family had a terrible temper, and on top of being upset over the fall, as soon as she stood up, she gave Mingqiu a hard slap across the face. "You little brat, don’t you know to say something before opening the door? You knew I was outside but opened it so forcefully, were you trying to kill me?"

Getting hit first thing in the morning, Mingqiu felt so wronged, her eyes red, yet she didn’t dare to cry. Crying on such a big day wouldn’t sit well with the family.

"What’s this for, second aunt? Raising a fuss and hitting people this early in the morning?"

Yang Chuxia glared at her, "This is Prince An’s Mansion, not your own home, second aunt. Even when hitting people, have some decency."

"So what? I’m your second aunt. I can’t even hit a servant?" It seemed the good food and drink of recent days had made Ms. Qian of Wang Family forget how fierce Yang Chuxia used to be.

"If a servant is disobedient, the master should discipline them." After a pause, Ms. Qian of Wang Family continued, "I remember when I was a guest in a big family, their rules were that when the masters ate, the maids had to be there to serve, to pass dishes and pour water, none could be missing. Not like your place where even serving a meal has to be done by oneself, it’s really lacking in decorum."

"Look at them all, I just said a few words and they’re glaring at me. Although I’m a guest, I’m also a relative of the master, can my status not be nobler than that of the servants?"

Ms. Qian of Wang Family maybe didn’t sleep well last night, and early in the morning she started nagging and criticized Yang Chuxia’s maids.’

Yang Chuxia felt a headache coming on, "Second aunt, are you done? Why aren’t you sleeping in your own courtyard this early? Instead, are you here to make a scene? Is your life too leisurely? Regarding my people, I know how they are, and even if they’re not doing well, I will guide them myself."

"If second aunt has nothing else, please go back. It’s about time for breakfast, and Brother An is still resting. Are you gonna keep making noise so people can’t rest?"

Of course, Ms. Qian of Wang Family did have something to say; if not, she wouldn’t have come. As soon as the serious issue was brought up, she sat heavily on the ground, and then began to wail loudly.

"If you have something to say, say it. If not, then leave. Why the crying? It’s bad luck this early in the morning."

She knew there was something wrong with the Qian family!

Hearing Yang Chuxia’s unpleasant tone, Ms. Qian of Wang Family wiped her tears and said, "Yang Chuxia, how can you be so heartless? Xiaoqing once did wrong, but she’s changed, hasn’t she? She just came to your house and had a couple of meals, how could you tie her up in the woodshed? What do you think you’re doing? If you don’t consider your second uncle as a relative, can we just go back to Funan now? Let Xiaoqing go!"

So it was because of Qian Xiaoqing, now Yang Chuxia understood.
