My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 1273

Chapter 1273: … People This Shameless

“You’re the one who’s bullsh*tting! Your son wanted to cast off my older cousin in order to marry the Gao Family’s daughter…” Before Qiao Hu could finish speaking, that bane of an old biddy lunged at him.

Shaoyao hastily pulled him to her, successfully dodging that old biddy’s lunge.

“Oh my, the Qiao Family is unreasonable! The Qiao Family is abusing their power to bully others.” Zhou Yuan’s mom suddenly plopped down on her behind and started making a scene with a howl.

All the high officials, lords, madams, and noble ladies looked at each other in awkwardness.

Should they leave or stay in this situation?

“My son does want to marry the daughter of the Gao Family, but why do you not ask the masters and young masters present, who among them do not have several concubines at home? Your Qiao Family is too overbearing! Could it be that when the daughters of your Qiao Family marry, their husbands’ families are prohibited from taking concubines and marrying co-wives!”

Zhou Yuan’s mom slapped her thigh with a hoot and then scrambled up from the floor. She latched onto a nearby official’s robe and cried, “This official, do give a verdict on this matter! Isn’t their Qiao Family awfully unreasonable!”

That official had not expected this vulgar woman to make such a move, and he promptly backed away in chagrin. However, because the old biddy had secured a corner of his robe, this tug-of-war soon ended with the sound of a tear. That old biddy had actually torn off the corner of the official’s robe, causing his face to turn green on the spot.

Qiao Zhongbang flared up and kicked at Zhou Yuan’s mom. “Scram aside!”

“Official Su, are you alright.” Qiao Zhongbang looked apologetically at that green-faced official. “Someone come quickly, bring Official Su to change his clothes.”

After taking the brunt of Qiao Zhongbang’s kick, Zhou Yuan’s mom just laid there on the ground and started squalling as she clutched at her chest in a show of agony. “Oh my, the Qiao Family wants to kill, wants to kill people!”

“Mom!” Pretty Boy Zhou Yuan strode up and helped up his old mother who was engaged in excellent theatrics. He turned to glare at Pu Ruolan, reprimanding, “You foolish woman, do you not find it humiliating enough! Quickly come home with us.”

While supporting her own mother, who was trembling from fury, Pu Ruolan told Zhou Yuan coldly, “You and I have already divorced.”

Zhou Yuan cursed while pointing at Pu Ruolan. “You wicked woman, are you looking to infuriate my mom to death? As my mom said, she does not acknowledge these divorce papers. Pu Ruolan, don’t think that you can step all over your husband and mother-in-law because you have the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate backing you up!”

“You shrew! You stir up trouble all day long and make it so that the entire family cannot be at peace! Just look at what you’ve become. Why can’t you learn from Qiqi and see the larger picture. Qiqi doesn’t even mind me marrying you back as a co-wife, so what else are you dissatisfied with?”

Qiao Wenxiu arched backwards in rage before she pointed shakily at Zhou Yuan, shouting, “You little bastard! Back then, to marry the Gao Family’s daughter, you wanted to demote her from your wife to a concubine. Because our Ruolan refused no matter what, you then colluded with your mother to trump up a charge against our Ruolan and cast her off.”

“Yet now, seeing that Ruolan’s uncle is the marquis of the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate, you want to turn back and coax our Ruolan back to you! You, you! How could there be such a shameless and black-hearted pair of mother and son in this world.” Qiao Wenxiu couldn’t stop wiping her tears in fury.

Zhou Yuan’s mom’s eyes turned about in a calculative circle before she wailed with a slap of her leg, “That’s a wrong accusation, a colossally wrong accusation! You people are slandering us! When had we ever said that we wanted to cast off Ruolan?”
