Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 883 Everyone, please help us, lest the Qiao family silence us!

Song Dujuan continued passionately, “We endured the humiliation and worked in silence, hoping that one day the Qiao family would have a change of heart and properly settle us down. We didn’t ask for much, just a place to live and food to eat. But months have passed, and we have suffered personal humiliation and had our dignity trampled on. The masters of the Qiao family seem to see nothing. So today, with so many people around, we want to seek justice for ourselves.”

"Nonsense! You've only shown your true colors today, and you still say we've wronged you? You've been deceiving the Qiao family all along. First you disguised your identities, and now you're servants of the Qiao household, even signing a death contract. For this crime alone, we can punish you," Qiao the eldest rebuked.

“Uncle Qiao, how could you say such cold words? Well, back then, the Qiao family made us sign a death contract because they wanted to be beaten or killed at will, just in case we poor relatives would drag your Qiao family down with us.” Song Dujuan said, her eyes reddening.

"Now, in front of so many guests, you're turning around and attacking us. It seems we can't get any justice from you."

As Song Dujuan spoke, she squatted down, covered her face, and began to cry.

“Our Song family is so pitiful. We have no fields, no land, no houses. We traveled thousands of miles to the capital to seek refuge with relatives, only to be treated like servants and abused. Not to mention, so many high-ranking officials were present, yet they were all so indifferent. If we had known that the capital was such a place, we would have preferred to drink poison and die back then.”

Wei also cried along with her.

“Dujuan, you said the Qiao family wouldn’t abandon us, but look at us now. They’ve turned around and accused us of infiltrating under false pretenses. They knew we were relatives, yet they still enslaved us. They’ve gone back on their word. You’ve misjudged them and trusted the wrong people.”

Qiao Li and Qiao Yue were happily celebrating their birthdays when they saw two unfamiliar faces crying and making a scene. Their smiles froze on their faces, and they looked dazed and uneasy.

Lingyin quickly had someone take the child aside and play with him.

The Qiao family is now both angry and helpless because they can't produce any evidence to prove that the Song family members were pretending from the beginning. They can only rely on Song Dujuan's words. Even the matter of signing the death contract was something the Song family asked for, but it turned out that the Qiao family made them sign it.

They never expected the Song family to do this, and they couldn't imagine that the Song family, whom they hadn't had contact with for several years, would come to the capital and sneak into the Qiao family in this way.

This is a scene you wouldn't even expect in a storybook.

Old Mrs. Qiao said angrily, "You didn't reveal your identities at the beginning. When my daughter left the Song family, you also helped. If you hadn't concealed your identities, we wouldn't have allowed you to work as servants in the Qiao family."

It's infuriating! She's old and blind; she didn't realize who this family was.

They were made to hide in the Qiao family's house like rats.

This feeling is as unpleasant as swallowing a dead fly.

"Grandma Qiao, look at what you're saying. Auntie's matter is Grandma's decision, and we can't influence it. We can only say whatever we want from the sidelines. We're not biased towards anyone. Isn't Auntie doing quite well now?" Song Dujuan dodged the question.

Song Guangtian said, "Besides, this is such an old story, how can you still remember it? Isn't that a bit petty? Moreover, the current situation of my third sister-in-law is worlds apart from ours. How can we compare? We have been treated like servants by you. For the past few months, we have endured it because we are relatives. But this is not a long-term solution. The whole family is waiting to be settled. There are several older children outside, two two- or three-year-old children, and one in the womb."

"Please, please, for the sake of our honesty and law-abiding behavior for the past few months, give our poor family an explanation!" Song Guangdi knelt down.

Immediately, the Song family members knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, lamenting the Qiao family's ingratitude and their own hardships.

The guests attending the birthday party looked at each other, unsure whether to believe the family, since they spoke with such sincerity and deep resentment that it didn't seem like an act.

However, the Qiao family doesn't seem like the type to do such a thing.

To drive one's relatives to be servants or slaves is something no respectable or prestigious family would ever do.

This family said that the grandfather of Princess Zhenguo's father's family was a full brother, which is indeed a very close relationship. If they were distant relatives, they would be given a respectable position, such as a steward.

It's truly outrageous that such a large group of people came to work as servants, doing such low-level jobs.

They were all waiting for the Qiao family to give a clear explanation. Given Princess Zhenguo's style of doing things, there was probably more to the story.

If the Qiao family doesn't even treat their relatives fairly, then those of us with vested interests in the Qiao family probably can no longer fully trust and rely on them as before.

Prince Heng coughed, his face unusually serious: "I still believe in the atmosphere of the Qiao family and the character of the Qiao family members. You said you showed your true colors from the beginning, while the Qiao family said you entered the mansion disguised. This is the biggest point of contention. If you are lying, have you considered the consequences?"

Prince Pei said, "If what you say is untrue, you are damaging this family relationship. When that happens, the Qiao family will no longer give you any face, and that will be your own fault."

These distinguished individuals were reminding them that if they engaged in fraudulent practices, they would bear the consequences, and they shouldn't blame the Qiao family for being impolite; these guests, too, would not speak up for them.

Song Dujuan and Song Guangdi exchanged a glance, a hint of guilt flashing in their eyes.

However, considering that they had made ample preparations and bore a resemblance to Qiao Lian'er, how could the Qiao family trace the matter back to its source?

Song Dujuan said firmly, "The Qiao family is well aware that we are relatives, yet they still make us work as servants, doing the kind of work only servants do. We came from afar to seek refuge with the Qiao family, but they took the opportunity to abuse us. We can only fight for justice when we have a grand banquet for our guests."

“The Qiao family is denying it now and is very angry. We have angered the Qiao family. If everyone does not help us, I suspect that after everyone leaves, the Qiao family will kill us. We are really scared.”

As she spoke, she hugged her shoulders, her whole body trembling, her eyes filled with terror.

"Please, everyone, save us! I'm begging you all!" Song Guangdi kowtowed in all directions, making loud thuds, until his forehead bled.

"You, you've gone too far! You forged your identities to enter the Qiao family, and the Qiao family has never shortchanged you in terms of food and clothing. How dare you spread such rumors!" Old Man Qiao clutched his chest, almost unable to catch his breath.

“How could we dare to spread rumors? The fact that we’re still alive under the noses of the Qiao family is already a result of our utmost caution and trepidation,” Madam Wei cried.

Seeing that the Song family's performance was almost over and the onlookers' appetites had been whetted to the limit, Qiao Lian'er slowly stood up.
