Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Apart from the sound of Shangguan Tang slapping the wife of the Marquis of Chengen, there was no other sound at the scene.

Everyone was stunned and remained silent for a long time.

Or rather, they were happy to watch the spectacle.

When Madam Cheng and Cheng Zhi'er arrived, they witnessed Shangguan Tang slapping someone with a gleeful expression.

Madam Cheng instinctively stopped in her tracks, and even took a step back, her body behaving itself.

"mother?"

Cheng Zhier looked at her mother in confusion.

I only saw a slapping scene, why is Mother backing away in fear?

Madam Cheng quickly shook her head, a forced smile appearing on her lips, "Mother is fine."

She couldn't possibly tell her daughter that Shangguan Tang's frantic slapping reminded her of the times she was dominated by fear back then.

Back then, all the noble ladies of their generation studied at Huangqi Academy, and Shangguan Tang was simply a nightmare for all of them.

Her father was only a fifth-rank official, and she was very cautious at the time, not daring to offend anyone.

In contrast, Shangguan Tang was like the blazing sun in the sky, dazzling and unrestrained.

She could even deal with princesses and noble ladies with ease. Any disgruntled noblewomen who provoked her would be whipped and humiliated by her.

It left a deep shadow on her at the time.

For a long time, Shangguan Tang was a nightmare for some people, and a shadow over them.

Because she deeply envied, feared, and was jealous of Shangguan Tang.

Until those complex emotions turned into hatred.

But one day, Shangguan Tang, who was just like this, was suddenly kidnapped by bandits.

Then, she married into the Marquis of Weiyuan's household.

Ha, what exactly is the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence?

They have a younger cousin who has been pampered since childhood. This cousin is caught between two older cousins, making both of them infatuated with her.

However, the younger brother couldn't compete with the older brother, because the position of heir apparent still belonged to the older brother at the time, so the cousin became the eldest sister-in-law.

But unexpectedly, before the wedding could take place, the older brother died.

The older brother died, leaving behind a beautiful sister-in-law who was also his sweetheart. How could the younger brother resist?

Like dry wood meeting a raging fire, Madam Cheng remembered that she was the one who had been watching the wind.

Later, Ying Nanyao, the younger brother, rescued Shangguan Tang from a bandit's den, and Shangguan Tang lost his virginity.

Later, Shangguan Tang married into the Marquis of Weiyuan's household.

Over the years, she watched as Shangguan Tang transformed from a blazing sun into a dark, gloomy cloud.

She, on the other hand, married her father's boss as his second wife.

For her, wasn't this a meteoric rise?

Although that man was old enough to be her father.

At that time, she felt that she could surpass Shangguan Tang.

She's no less capable than Shangguan Tang.

Madam Cheng was overjoyed, but she dared not show it. Instead, she kept her thoughts hidden and arranged a marriage between the two families' children through Liu Xueyan.

Later, because of what happened eight years ago, they finally became enemies and their relationship turned sour.

During the eight years she was away from the capital, she thought that Shangguan Tang must have been tormented to the point of wishing she were dead by the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion. But she never expected that not only was she not in a terrible state, but she was still as arrogant as ever.

She doesn't agree!

She was determined to make Shangguan Tang submit.

She gritted her teeth and stepped forward, saying, "Sister Shangguan, this is Her Majesty the Empress's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. How can you hit someone like this without any regard for Her Majesty the Empress's dignity?"

Shangguan Tang got tired of hitting him and finally stopped.

At the same time, the system notification in Ying Yufu's mind finally came to an end.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your current points balance is 977 points.]

Host, your mother did a great job!

Ying Yufu was also quite shocked.

She hadn't expected her mother to be so fierce.

She stepped forward worriedly and took Shangguan Tang's hand. "Mother, next time you hit someone, take a whip. Won't your hand hurt?"

Shangguan Tang nodded: "If it hurts a little, Mother will remember to bring the whip next time."

"it is good."

Seeing the mother and daughter talking as if no one else was around, Madam Cheng's face fell.

She spoke again in a sarcastic tone, "Sister Shangguan, do you think you're still the same Shangguan Tang you used to be?"

You assaulted someone at the Empress's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. Do you even respect the Empress?

Shangguan Tang slapped her across the face. "You keep calling me 'Empress,' Liu Wanxi. Do you think I won't hit you just because you're using the Empress to intimidate me?"

Lady Cheng'en, who was crying loudly after being beaten, managed to stop crying when she saw someone standing up for her.

She discovered that even Mrs. Cheng, who had spoken to her, had been beaten, and she continued to wail.

She cried especially hard.

Ying Yufu walked past Yun and squatted down to admire her pig-like face.

Having had her fill of admiring, Ying Yufu revealed a harmless smile and said sweetly, "When you and my black-hearted grandmother found a concubine to humiliate me, you didn't expect to get beaten up, did you?"

Don't worry, this is just the beginning.

Lady Chengen stared at her blankly, and when she realized what she had said, her wailing turned into loud sobbing.

Beside her, Madam Cheng covered her face and instinctively took a step back.

"Shangguan Tang, you—"

"What about me?" Shangguan Tang stared at her sharply. "Say that again, and I won't hesitate to slap you a few more times, just like she did!"

She pointed to Lady Chengen.

Old Lady Liu finally lost her temper. "Shangguan Tang, are you crazy? Look at what you've done!"

"Hurry up and apologize to Madam Cheng and Madam Chengen, and send them gifts as compensation afterward!"

Shangguan Tang turned around, his cold gaze sweeping over Old Liu's hypocritical and disgusting face.

"Madam Ying, you'd better shut up!"

What?

Old Liu's eyes widened.

Did she just hear wrong? Shangguan Tang not only didn't call her mother, but also told her to shut up?

She's really trying to defy the heavens!

Just then, a eunuch's shrill voice announced, "Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!"

The Empress has arrived.

Madam Cheng's eyes lit up, and everyone else stood up and bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress!"

The Empress smiled gently and said, "Ladies, please rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Oh dear, what is this?" Lady Duan, who was beside the Empress, turned her head and met a face that was red and swollen like a pig's head.

Lady Chengen immediately felt as if she had seen a relative and began to complain.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to do justice for me! Shangguan Tang has gone too far! She slapped me without even asking what happened..."

Even if I didn't have a family like the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to back me up, I still can't be so arrogant and beat people like this!

Madam Cheng then stepped forward and knelt down. She lowered her hand, deliberately revealing the face that had been slapped by Shangguan Tang.

"I beg Your Majesty to do justice for me. I only said a few words of advice because I thought it was inappropriate for Sister Shangguan to hit someone like that, and then I was... I was hit."

The gentle smile on the Empress's face faded.

She looked at Shangguan Tang, her eyes filled with confusion and doubt, "Tang, what are you doing? Why did you hit someone?"

"They are all noblewomen; if you beat them like this, I can't very well protect you!"

Shangguan Tang stared at her innocent and naive face and smiled.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to protect me. Your Majesty only needs to uphold justice."

"Ah Tang, I really don't have the heart to punish you, but this time you really went too far..."

Shangguan Tang raised her voice and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to do justice for my daughter. My daughter turned 18 yesterday, and this Lady Cheng'en actually had her concubine perform the hairpin ceremony for my daughter. This is truly an insult."

Even though the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is currently in trouble, this humble woman still demands justice.

The Empress stared in astonishment, her eyes wide, and turned to look at Lady Xue, the wife of the Earl of Cheng'en: "Lady Xue, is it really so?"
