Chapter 129: Did we run into a brick wall?
Instantly, at Madam Peng's command, the entire room was filled with servants, a total of thirty people.
Madam He looked at her in shock: "Jingya, what are you doing? Miss Zhao is my person."
Furthermore, Madam He felt that Zhao Taohua was someone who responded better to gentleness than force, and that doing this would only provoke Zhao Taohua.
"Wenwen, I'm sorry, but I had no choice but to resort to this for my Yuan'er's sake."
Madam Peng stood up and said to the servants outside, "Detain them all. Remember to be gentle; they are all honored guests of our household. Don't hurt them."
Mrs. Peng said in a fake tone.
"Yes."
The servants of the Lang family responded in unison and then went into the house.
The village chief immediately stepped forward: "What are you trying to do? Are you going to lock us up? What you're doing is a violation of the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty."
Madam Peng sneered: "In the Lang family mansion, I am the law here."
Once Miss Zhao has revived my son, I will let you leave.
If anyone's to blame, it's Miss Zhao for being so tactless; I had no other choice but to resort to this tactic.
As the village chief was speaking, Zhao Taohua quietly beckoned to everyone, drawing them closer to her.
Mrs. He still thought too idealistically of Peng Jingya. How could she be completely unprepared to deal with someone who had no bottom line?
The village chief and the others sensed the hint in Zhao Taohua's eyes. Although they didn't know what Zhao Taohua was going to do, they all gathered around.
Madam He and her maid Yuhe also joined in instinctively.
Madam Peng frowned as she looked at Tao Hua and the dozen or so people standing in a huddle.
"Stop trying to play tricks. In my Lang residence, you won't get away with anything... Ugh!"
Mrs. Peng had only spoken halfway when she suddenly smelled a particularly strong, foul odor in the air.
She felt so disgusted that she wanted to throw up all the food she had eaten last night.
The other people in the Lang family were in the same boat, all feeling so unwell they felt like vomiting.
Someone cursed, "What is this? It stinks! It's disgusting! Who the hell peed in their pants?"
As they were cursing, one of them shouted, "Oh no, they're getting away!"
Zhao Taohua led a dozen or so people and ran towards the outside of the Lang residence.
Everyone stood close to her, protected by the shield around Zhao Taohua, so they couldn't smell the stench emitted by the durian essence.
When the servants of the Lang family came to arrest the man, there was another troublemaker trying to clean up the mess. He stood there like a small mountain, and no one could get past him.
If anyone hits him, it's like hitting a rock; the trolls don't feel the pain, but they themselves are in excruciating pain.
Before long, Zhao Taohua and the others escaped from the Lang residence.
It was already 11 PM, and the entire alley was silent; all the neighbors on both sides had gone to sleep.
Instead of letting everyone get on the oxcart and leave, Zhao Taohua stood at the entrance of the Lang residence and started cursing.
Anyway, when Grandma Sun and the others arrived, they were already prepared to do this, not to mention that the people in the Zhao family's old house were already full of resentment.
When Peng, the wicked woman, realized that she couldn't bribe them with money, she decided to imprison them!
In the quiet night, Old Lady Sun stood with her hands on her hips at the gate of the Lang residence. She first spat loudly, then cursed:
"You Lang family, you're a place that eats people up without spitting out the bones."
Peng Dufu's son, for some unknown reason, lay on the bed like a living dead man.
She actually wants to get engaged to my granddaughter, intending to use my granddaughter's life to save the life of her poisonous son.
When things didn't work out, they even tried to imprison our whole family.
"What goes around comes around. That vicious woman Peng and her living dead son will surely be struck by lightning..."
Grandma Sun had an extremely loud voice, which could be heard clearly by everyone inside and outside the Lang residence, as well as by everyone in the alley.
Those who could live in the same alley as the Lang family were all well-off families and were wealthy in the county.
Many neighbors who had already gone to bed got up upon hearing the commotion, and went to their doors with lanterns to see what was going on.
"My God, are Madam Peng and Young Master Lang really like this?"
"Is what this old woman said true or false?"
"Look, who's that? Isn't it He Wenwen from the He family? She's here too, so it can't be fake."
"I was wondering why I hadn't seen Lang Yuan these past few days. He used to love going out drinking and flirting with decent girls every day, but now he's never left the house. Turns out he's passed out at home."
"I was wondering why Peng Jingya would arrange a rural daughter-in-law for her son out of the blue. Turns out she thought the woman was powerless and easy to bully."
"Well, now you've bitten off more than you can chew, haven't you?"
Inside the Lang residence, Madam Peng heard Old Madam Sun's words and hurriedly ordered people to gag Old Madam Sun, but the crowd found it difficult to get close.
The servants of the Lang family were blocked by two obstacles!
The first obstacle is the stench of durian spirits. After enduring that stench to get closer, there is a second obstacle: argumentative trolls. Their strength is no match for the argumentative trolls.
Finally, Old Lady Sun cursed at the entrance of the Lang residence for a full quarter of an hour. Not only did people from the entire alley come out to watch the commotion, but people from the neighboring alleys also came over.
They only stopped when Grandma Sun had finished scolding them.
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Zhao Taohua let Grandma Sun get on the oxcart, and they could leave.
Before Zhao Taohua left, she released a wisp of spiritual energy onto the plaque of the Lang residence.
A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings; a family that accumulates evil deeds will surely have abundant calamities.
The Lang family will never be able to turn their fortunes around again.
Evil begets evil; if one does not accumulate virtue, one's descendants will also suffer the consequences.
No, Lang Yuan will never have any descendants in this lifetime.
From then on, the Lang family will only become more and more desolate, eventually becoming like a run-down household until it disappears.
Madam He did not ride in her own carriage but instead shared a carriage with Zhao Taohua.
"Miss Zhao, I'm so sorry, I didn't know this would happen."
It's getting late, so don't go back to Zhao Family Village. Stay in the county town for the night, and I'll arrange an inn for you. You can go back tomorrow morning."
"That's what Madam He said."
Zhao Taohua thought for a moment and then agreed.
It takes an hour to travel from Zhao Village to the county town, even by oxcart. It was already late at night, and it would be inconvenient to drive the oxcart back to the village at night.
At night, Zhao Taohua and Qian Shi slept in one room, while Shen Ming and Zhao Ershu slept in another.
The following day, just as Zhao Taohua had predicted, the Lang family's reputation plummeted in the county town.
Everyone knows that Lang Yuan suddenly fell into a coma for more than a month.
In order to save Lang Yuan, the Lang family deliberately arranged a marriage with a village girl from the countryside, hoping to use the girl's lifespan to save Lang Yuan, which almost killed the girl.
Last night, He Wenwen personally brought the girl's family to cancel the engagement.
"If you ask me, this is retribution. Lang Yuan was never a good person to begin with."
I heard that a girl was defiled by him, but this guy is unwilling to take responsibility because he looks down on the girl's family background.
Finally, the girl jumped into the river and committed suicide.
"It's not just one, I've heard about it too. He's a womanizer, seducing many young girls and ruining their lives, yet he's a scoundrel who refuses to take responsibility!"
"And his mother wasn't any better. I heard that his father was killed by her."
Including the three concubines her father took, all of whom were killed by her mother. The sons and daughters born to those concubines all died, and in the end, those concubines themselves also died.
His father's death was absolutely related to his mother. With everyone else dead, the Lang mansion became their domain!
After Zhao Taohua and the others woke up, they ate breakfast and then got on the oxcart to return to Zhao Family Village.
As the oxcart traveled along the main road in the county town, one could hear passersby discussing the Lang family's affairs everywhere.
