Chapter 214: What I Saw on the Road 1

"Oh, so boring!" Qianxue complained as she got into the carriage. "I always imagined that the journey would be full of all kinds of beauty and there would be many new and interesting things, but when I really set out on the journey, I realized that most of the time it was very boring and monotonous, and the surrounding scenery seemed to have never changed."

After hearing Qianxue's complaint, Qianyan sneered slightly and said teasingly: "Do you still want to go out riding now?"

Qianxue frowned and grumbled after hearing this, then she held Chu Ci's hand tightly and complained: "Sister-in-law, my butt hurts, it's so uncomfortable to ride a horse, this journey is so boring!"

Chu Ci looked at Qianxue who looked distressed, and tried to suppress his smile. He deliberately said slowly, "Qianxue, how about this, how about we play some cards?"

"Maybe I won't be so bored if I play for a while, and I can kill some boring time on the road."

After hearing this, Qianxue was about to cry. She said pitifully, "Sister-in-law, you know my luck very well."

It turns out that Qianxue's card skills are actually pretty good.

But it was very strange. No matter what cards she played or how she played, she could usually only win one game.

Then all the rest are losses, and they are lost in various ways.

So, when Qianxue heard Chu Ci suggest playing mahjong, she suddenly became anxious.

With a chuckle, Qian Yan broke down in an instant, "I'm sorry, I wanted to hold it back. But it's just too funny." Immediately followed by a series of hearty laughs of "Haha—hahahaha——".

Following Qianyan's lead, Chu Ci couldn't help himself after all. "Hahahahahahahahahahaha"

"Let's go and see why they are laughing." The Fifth Prince was also bored at the moment. When he heard Chu Ci and the others laughing so happily, his heart suddenly surged with ripples. So when the attendant left, he whispered again: "Go and see if Master Fan has passed by."

"Yes." The servant hesitated for a moment after hearing these words, but the master's order, no matter how strange it was, was the master's intention, so he responded and jumped lightly off the carriage.

Unexpectedly, just as the servant jumped off the carriage and had not walked a few steps away, a sudden quarrel broke out, causing all the pedestrians to stop.

After all, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have caused a lot of controversy since ancient times.

When the young woman saw everyone stop, she seemed to have found a supporter, and her voice became louder and louder, "Mother-in-law, how could you do this! You are so inhumane!"

"Is this a histrionic personality?" Chu Ci heard the voice that was obviously several degrees louder and simply lifted the curtain of the car.

Then the accused old man looked shocked. "What are you talking about?"

However, the daughter-in-law became more and more agitated: "You clearly know that my brother has encountered difficulties recently, and my parents have fainted from anxiety, but you are unwilling to lend some money to my brother to solve the urgent problem!"

"You...I...am not..." The mother-in-law became more and more anxious, but her words became more and more difficult to speak.

When the young daughter-in-law saw that her mother-in-law couldn't even speak clearly, a barely perceptible smile flashed across her eyes.

Then she continued, "Mother-in-law, you are not good enough to me on weekdays. I accept all of this. After all, there is no blood relationship between us."

"But after I married into the Liu family, I gave birth to children and took care of the household chores. Even if I didn't make any great contributions, I still worked hard!"

"My parents' family has only encountered some minor difficulties. How can you be so cruel as to ask me to abandon them? It is really inhumane of you to act like this!" There was a hint of resentment and accusation in the daughter-in-law's voice.

Then he deliberately shouted loudly: "I want to go back to my mother's house!"

The mother-in-law finally became flustered and anxious. She grabbed her daughter-in-law's arm tightly. Her face flushed red, and the veins on her forehead were slightly prominent. She clenched her fists tightly, but she could only say this: "Don't talk nonsense, how can this be! How can I be so unkind? Don't talk nonsense here!"

This scene successfully caused misunderstanding among the onlookers.

One of the passers-by couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my, this mother-in-law is really too much. She didn't care about her daughter-in-law's family when they were in trouble, and now she is preventing her from going back to her parents' home. This is really too much."

Another passerby also echoed: "That's right, how can you act like this?"

Someone took the lead, and some young women, as if seeing their past selves, also sighed and said: "How can you treat your daughter-in-law like this? It is natural for a daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' home at this time. It is really incomprehensible to stop her like this."

The mother-in-law was so angry that she stamped her feet and shouted with a red face: "Nonsense, all nonsense. It's obviously your brother who is not doing his best..."

However, before the mother-in-law could finish her words, she was interrupted by her young daughter-in-law again. "You admit it, you deliberately didn't let me go back. How could you be so cruel? You didn't even let me take care of things at my parents' home. You are too heartless!"

"I want to go back to my parents' home--" the young daughter-in-law yelled again.

Seeing this, Qianxue on the side could no longer bear it, "This mother-in-law is too much, I must go over and help this poor daughter-in-law."

Unfortunately, just as Qianxue was about to take action, Chu Ci, who was standing by, quickly stopped her.

Qianxue's face was suddenly filled with disbelief. Her eyes widened and she said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, why are you stopping me? Didn't you see how excessive the mother-in-law is? How pitiful the daughter-in-law is? I want to help her."

Chu Ci did not rush to explain, but said calmly: "Qianxue, take a good look at the expression of that poor man."

Qianxue's voice unconsciously became very loud due to her excitement, but Chu Ci did it on purpose. She secretly used her inner strength to clearly transmit her words to the ears of everyone present.

This also calmed down the originally excited Qianxue.

However, the young daughter-in-law, who thought her plan was about to succeed, had her heart skip a beat. She did not expect things to suddenly turn out like this.

But looking at the scrutinizing eyes of the people around her, she knew she had to continue acting.

So, she gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I-want-to-go-home."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly struggled to break free from her mother-in-law's tightly grasping hands, and then ran towards Chu Ci regardless of everything.

And while she was running hard, she was shouting at the top of her lungs: "Help! I'm not their daughter-in-law. I was forcibly abducted back home by them. Help! --"

"Sister-in-law?" Qianxue and Qianyan looked at Chu Ci subconsciously.
