Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 53

“Shut up, shut up, Sheng Fei, you shut up.”

These little scheming thoughts were exposed. As Zhou Qiaoyu looked around at the group of people pointing and whispering, her face turned red. She directly covered her face and limped back to the courtyard of the main house.

Once in her own small room, she quickly climbed onto the bed and buried herself under the covers, wanting to hide like a quail.

The neighbors watched the commotion gleefully, with some even directly munching on melon seeds and starting to gossip.

“Who was that person? I heard it might be Old Zhou’s daughter. I’ve heard about his daughter. She has a terrible temper and is overbearing. I didn’t expect her to be really the Old Zhou family’s daughter.”

“Let me tell you, I know about the Old Zhou family. That daughter of theirs, her temper is truly huge.

I’ve heard she’s been spoiled rotten by the family. She’s one to smash pots and pans. As long as things don’t go her way, the whole family has to serve her.”

“Oh, the things you know are still considered small. Let me tell you, she’s been pampered and spoiled since she was little.

I’ve heard that when she was young, she loved to eat pork ribs, and whoever ate the food she wanted, she would directly flip over the entire table of dishes.

If this little ancestor doesn’t get to eat well, then others can’t eat either. You see, with her terrible temper, if the family didn’t have a little money, would anyone go to their house to propose marriage?”

“That’s right, this family’s daughter temper is actually so big. I say, it’s all because she’s been spoiled rotten by the family.

It’s a good thing that she wasn’t at my house. Really, I would have already given her a good slap if she acted this way in my house, refusing to eat and all that nonsense.”

“This Old Zhou family’s daughter has just been spoiled too much. If she marries me, I can’t beat her to death, but I’ll make her obedient and submissive.

I tell you, women can’t be indulged. If they need a beating, then beat them. As long as you beat them until they behave, they won’t dare act up again in the future.”

“Listening to you, it sounds like you have a lot of experience.”

“Of course I do. You see my wife, before she married me, she was always yelling and treating me like a grandson. But now that she’s married to me and has a child, doesn’t she serve me like a lord? I’m telling you, these women need to be beaten when necessary.” (TL: Pei, I don’t really agree)

Sheng Fei watched the gossiping expressions and tones of this group of people, shaking her head. At this time, rumors and slander have such a huge impact on a person. Does Zhou Qiaoyu still dare to go find Lu Ting? Isn’t she just courting disaster?

Moreover, in the original book, there was also a similar plot line.

Zhou Qiaoyu likes Lu Ting, and had Xu Yuxia act as a matchmaker to introduce them.

However, at that time Lu Ting did not get injured, so he was always out early and back late. He hardly ever crossed paths with Zhou Qiaoyu.

So Zhou Qiaoyu often returned empty-handed and gradually gave up.

But this time, due to Sheng Fei’s arrival, the plot has changed. Because Lu Ting got injured and is now bedridden, which has given Zhou Qiaoyu an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

For a woman like Zhou Qiaoyu, her initiative to approach Lu Ting is completely Lu Ting’s loss.

Lu Ting will have a bright future ahead of him. But if he is influenced by Zhou Qiaoyu, he will eventually be looked down upon by others, saying his conduct is not upright.

In this regard, Sheng Fei is wholeheartedly considering Lu Ting’s future and career.

After being mocked by Sheng Fei, Zhou Qiaoyu hid under the covers and cried the whole time. She refused to come out no matter who tried to console her.

The key point is not that she was scolded by Sheng Fei, but that everyone now knows she came to find Lu Ting.
