CHAPTER 133: CHAPTER 133: COME HOME WITH US! (1)

"You just married into her family, you weren’t sold into it. You’re just her daughter-in-law, not her servant!" The Great Princess said angrily.

"There are some things you don’t understand. Anyway, don’t meddle in my family’s affairs." Liu Da Niu pushed the Great Princess again.

"Did you hear that? My daughter-in-law said she doesn’t need your interference. Why are you sticking your nose into our business? Get lost, you little bitches!" the middle-aged woman cursed again.

"Who are you calling names? Huh? Who?" Whack! Li Xing’an slapped the middle-aged woman.

The slap made the middle-aged woman’s eyes brim with tears.

"We’ve never scolded my little sister all her life, and you, wicked old woman, dare to curse her?" The Second Young Master kicked her as well.

"Oh, curse my terrible luck, marrying a hen that won’t lay eggs and attracting a bunch of wild kids to beat the mother-in-law! How can I survive this!" The woman stomped her feet and wailed.

But her house was built at the edge of the village, quite far from other households.

No matter how much commotion they caused here, it wouldn’t bring any onlookers.

"Why are you wailing? No one will help you!" The Great Princess sneered, "Didn’t you say this to Daniu? Relying on your secluded house to beat Daniu without interference, you broke her arm into pieces! Today it’s your turn. I’ll break your arms into four pieces, and no one will come to help!"

As she spoke, the Great Princess threw down the broom and rolled up her sleeves.

Her arms were slender and ivory white, and her small fists carried an intimidating aura.

The middle-aged woman stopped crying immediately upon hearing this.

She indeed beat her daughter-in-law with this mentality, taking advantage of the distance from the village, where even if she slaughtered a pig, the nearest household wouldn’t hear it.

Seeing the situation, the middle-aged woman quickly began to plead.

"Hmph, now you’re scared? Hurry and apologize to Daniu! Swear you’ll never hit her again, and say that if you do, may you be struck by lightning, choke to death on your food, drown while drinking water, be bitten to death by wild animals when you go out, and fall to your death while walking." The Great Princess said with her hands on her hips, staring at her.

Li Yuzhu couldn’t help but laugh at this.

No wonder it was the Great Princess speaking!

No one could out-talk her back in the Capital, and even here, a thousand miles away in the rural Zhen An Prefecture, she was still formidable.

The Second Princess admired her wholeheartedly, "Big sister is so amazing, look, that woman’s face is turning white with fear."

Li Yuzhu thought to herself, of course, the Great Princess even dared to steal the inkstone of the Little Emperor, let alone hit someone?

"Hey, still not apologizing? If you don’t, I’ll break your arm, your choice!" The Great Princess grabbed the woman’s collar, threatening viciously.

With the Second Young Master and Li Xing’an holding her left and right, the woman was immobilized and terrified as she faced the Great Princess’s fierce glare.

"Apolo... Apologize. I’ll apologize." After all, a broken arm was no joke.

"Don’t look at me, apologize to Daniu," the Great Princess pointed at Liu Da Niu.

"Daniu, I’m sorry, I won’t hit you again." The woman looked at Liu Da Niu, gritted her teeth, and said awkwardly.

Liu Da Niu, frightened, quickly stepped aside.

"Don’t make a fuss, I beg you, this is my family’s matter," Liu Da Niu pleaded with the Great Princess.

This made the Great Princess so angry her face turned dark, "You coward!"

"Sister Daniu, your grandfather asked me to take you home for a few days," Mu Yuanxiu shouted as he stopped the ox cart in the yard, "He said his eldest granddaughter is a treasure in the family, and since no one else cherishes you, he will bring you back and cherish you himself."

Liu Da Niu couldn’t believe it, "Yuanxiu, did... did Grandpa really ask you to pick me up?"

Mu Yuanxiu pointed to the ox cart, "Look, isn’t this your grandfather’s ox cart?"

Liu Da Niu recognized her family’s ox cart, but she asked in disbelief of Mu Yuanxiu’s words.

A married woman is like water thrown out, why would her maiden family care for her?

Even if they cared, then what?

Sooner or later, she’d still have to return to her husband’s family.

What woman could live long at her maiden home?

Liu Da Niu’s eyes dimmed again after a moment.

The Great Princess glanced at the ox cart, dragged Liu Da Niu, and said, "Come on, come on, staying here to serve others, go home and let your mom cook for you, heal your arm first."

Li Yuzhu also walked over, "Daniu, I’ll take a look at your arm later, your arm is not bandaged correctly, it won’t heal this way."

Even from a dozen steps away, she could see that Liu Da Niu’s arm was only hastily wrapped.

The careless bandaging was apparent.

A fracture without a proper splint is just as good as not bandaging it.

Even if it heals in the future, the arm will be deformed and won’t have much strength.

Liu Da Niu recognized Li Yuzhu and felt a wave of gratitude, "Okay."

The two sisters helped Liu Da Niu onto the ox cart.

The Second Princess hadn’t gotten off the cart and was sitting on it. Seeing Liu Da Niu get on, she scooted over a bit, "Come, come, sit here, it’s flat."

Among the people who came, the two men and Li Yuzhu were siblings, and Liu Da Niu had seen them when her mother was sick.

They accompanied Li Yuzhu wherever she went.

She hadn’t seen the two little girls before, but they looked like Li Yuzhu, and since they called each other sisters, it was clear these were all Li Yuzhu’s siblings.

Why was this family helping her?

Liu Da Niu couldn’t figure it out.

She also saw Mu Yuanxiu, the grandson of her grandfather’s friend. Could it be that her grandfather asked for help?

But... wasn’t her family unable to interfere with her in-laws’ affairs?

Liu Da Niu was thinking about many things.

Meanwhile, the Second Young Master and Li Xing’an were warning the middle-aged woman, forbidding her from pursuing them or causing trouble.

The two let her go and helped Mu Yuanxiu turn the ox cart around. They all sat on the cart and left the place together.

As the cart moved away, the middle-aged woman clapped her thigh and yelled, "What a misfortune, the daughter-in-law has been taken away, what to do now?"

She hurriedly shut the door, leaving behind the crooked baskets in the yard, lifted her skirt, and ran into the village to ask for help.

The ox cart left Qingshui Village River, and the Great Princess took off the wooden shoes on her feet, placed the umbrella she was carrying on the cart, and leisurely tidied her hair.

Just now, the fight with the woman had messed up the bun she had carefully styled in the morning.

She looked at Li Yuzhu beside her and said, "Li Yuzhu, help me do my hair. I didn’t bring a mirror, can’t see the top of my head."

Li Yuzhu said, "I can only do simple styles. I can’t manage your complicated bun."

The Great Princess was picky, so she had to clarify in advance.

"How can you be so useless?" The Great Princess gave her a sidelong glance, looked at the Second Princess and Liu Da Niu, shook her head, and sighed, "Never mind, I’ll do it myself. One has a broken arm, and one’s even more useless."

She fumbled around, combed her hair with her fingers, tied it into a just-passable bun with a cloth band, and tied the rest with strips of cloth.

"If my mother sees my hair messy, she’ll scold me." The Great Princess adjusted her collar and sleeves, "I am... ahem!"

Once the top beauty of the Capital, how could she go out with messy hair?

That wouldn’t be ladylike.

The Great Princess tidied her hair and clothes, sat primly and quietly.

Completely different from when she was fighting earlier.

Liu Da Niu watched, bewildered.

At this moment, the Great Princess glanced at the few people in the cart and suddenly said, "You all better not tell my family about my fight with that woman? Hear me? Otherwise—hmm—I’ll never let you off!"

She sternly reminded everyone.

The Second Princess had been afraid of her since childhood, nodding continuously, "Big sister, I won’t say anything, you can rest assured."

"And you? Li Yuzhu?" The Great Princess lifted her chin, looking at Li Yuzhu.

"Big sister, we came together, and that nasty woman kept yelling we all hit her," Li Yuzhu said.

"Right, right, yes, we all hit her. If this gets out, we’ll all be in trouble. So today’s matter should be kept in secret, not to be spoken of to Mother or Father." The Great Princess was very satisfied with Li Yuzhu’s words.

Liu Da Niu also said, "I won’t say anything."

"Good, good." The Great Princess nodded.

"You won’t tell either, Brother Mu," the Second Young Master and Li Xing’an patted Mu Yuanxiu’s shoulder together.

One brother sat on his left, the other on his right.

One rolled up his sleeves, the other shook his leg.

Mu Yuanxiu looked at one, then the other, slightly curling his lips, "I led you there, if anything happens, I’m the ringleader."

The brothers completely agreed, "Yes, yes, you led us to pick up Liu Da Niu! You’re the ringleader!"

Thus everyone readily agreed that they’d never admit to having hit that woman!

Anyway, no one else saw it. If the woman shouted that they hit her, no one would believe it.

They never went there!

As for how Liu Da Niu returned to her home, they just happened to meet her on the road and offered to take her back.

With the matters settled and a few miles to go, everyone was happy and joyful on the way back.
