Within half a day, the news that the Third-place Scholar's mother went to the family of a young lady to flaunt her authority as a mother-in-law had spread. The issue was that the family hadn't agreed to anything, and she was eventually driven out.
Everyone who heard found it ludicrous and thought that Ji's mother deserved it.
The noble ladies who once fancied Ji Qing, as Ah Chen predicted, felt relieved that Ji Qing didn't accept back then. Otherwise, they would have faced such a wicked mother-in-law. As the saying goes, if they are not part of the same family, they don't enter the same door. With Ji's mother being so vile, how good could Ji Qing be? Even if he didn't agree with her in this matter, had he restrained Ji's mother and warned her beforehand, she wouldn't have dared to do such a thing.
