"How dare you?! I’m your bloody third aunt (Here it means Ling Jingxuan’s third uncle’s wife)!”
Lady Jiang was furious, but dared not to take further actions. In the old days, what the people most afraid of was the government and officials. Powerless countrymen would ‘be peeled off one layer of their skin’ encountering such a sue case. Ling Jiangshi was, after all, a village woman, apart from her old scholar father-in-law and her second uncle as the village head, she had never seen a larger aspect of the society. When she heard Ling Jingxuan was going to report to the yamen, her stout body couldn’t help shaking, not knowing whether she was scared or angry.
“’Ling Jingxuan, a monster by birth, never leads a clean life and was pregnant with a bastard, bringing shame and disgrace to our family of scholars, failing Ling family's descendants. You’re expelled from the Ling family. From today on, no matter life or death, rich or poor, you have no relations to us!’”, Ling Jingxuan recited, “Aunt, do you still remember the words Master Ling said in front of the whole village outside Ling's ancestral temple? I have no relations with you anymore, how could you say you’re my third aunt? You and your daughter dashed into my place and bullied me, how can I not resist? Your behavior could be convicted of trespass. I can go to the yamen to sue you. Since you’re bearing no fear, I've got to burn all my bridges. Let's meet in court.”
With a wave of his sleeve, Ling Jingxuan stepped aside, face like being covered with frost. The serious look let the mother and daughter know that he was really serious.
“You…Ling Jingxuan, you were kicked out of the Ling family cause you deserved it. But you’re still complaining about your grandfather. If you weren't born a monster and didn’t hook up with the man from nowhere and get pregnant, your parents would never be willing to kick you out of the family. Everything is caused by yourself. Now you even have the face to complain about us, aren't you afraid that your parents will soak you in the pig cage again?”
How could a person who had been in an advantage for a long time be willing to be intimidated and underestimated by a monster that everyone despised? Lady Jiang’s held her hands on her hips, the more she said, the more confident she felt. Next to her, Ling Xiaoying was also holding her chin high, looking at him with the whites of her eyes. Ling Jingxuan was a disgrace to their family, whatever they did to him was rightful.
"Hum, like I care about what you think of me. Aunt Jiang, I’ll remind you for the one last time: you broke into my house regardless of your ‘noble’ status. I didn't want to curry favor with you ever since the beginning, and I didn't intend to waste my energy pestering you. Leave or stay, the choice is on your hands.”
Lady Jiang almost got half-mad because of the shrew. He was never rare of this identity to be a member of Ling family!
"Ling Jingxuan, you!”
"Shut up! There’s no place for you to talk here.”
Lin Jingxuan snapped to interrupt Ling Xiaoying who was going to shout abuse. He had lost his patience and turned to Lady Jiang with sharp eyes, “Get out or we’ll meet in yamen. Don't be fucking gibberish here, I don't have time to meddle with you!"
“You! Just you wait!”
His constant mentioning of ‘yamen’ made Lady Jiang a little scared. She held the furious Ling Xiaoying and ran out despondently, still not forgetting saying a few malicious words before leaving.
