At the second watch, call for pink.

Zhao Xiue was scolded into fainting by Lady Zhou? Lian Manman and Lian Yeye, from inside the door of the West Wing Room, watched this scene unfold and simultaneously thought.
As Zhao Xiue and Lady Zhou hurled insults at each other, it ended with the more experienced Lady Zhou outmatching Zhao Xiue with her sharp tongue. But Zhao Xiue, she shouldn’t be so fragile. No, wait, don’t forget that Zhao Xiue is pregnant, and ever since she became pregnant, the trouble hasn’t stopped.
Lian Manman was about to step out when she caught sight from the corner of her eye of Old Master Lian entering the courtyard with Lian Shouyi and Lian Shouli. At the same time, the curtain outside the Upper Room was lifted with a clatter, and Lady Chiang emerged with an anxious expression and stepped out.
"What’s going on, I heard noises from the backyard and hurried over? Granny, aunt, why are you both so angry?" Lady Chiang walked briskly toward Lady Zhou and Lian Xiuxiu, then turned, seemingly only then noticing Erlang and Zhao Xiue.
"What happened to Xiue?" Lady Chiang paused, as if in shock, then came to a quick realization, whispered to Erlang, "Erlang, quickly carry Xiue into the room and fetch a doctor to check on her."
Erlang looked gratefully at Lady Chiang, lifted Zhao Xiue, and hurried into the East Wing Room.
Lady Chiang lowered her head slightly, the corners of her mouth revealing a trace of a cold smile. She had seen clearly just a moment ago that Zhao Xiue’s eyeballs were rolling under her eyelids. Zhao Xiue had not fainted at all; she was just overwhelmed by Lady Zhou’s harsh scolding and didn’t know how to recover. She also noticed Old Master’s return and thus feigned weakness, pretending to have fainted to get out of the situation.
Time and again, she’s managed to disgrace her own face, as well as the reputations of both the Zhao Family and the Lian Family. Did Zhao Xiue come back because she couldn’t stay in the Zhao Family anymore? Since that was the case, she should have behaved humbly, kept her tail between her legs, and been a decent person. You don’t slap a person in the face, and Zhao Xiue really thought that by bringing up the issue of her dowry, she could hold control over the Lian Family members? With Zhao Xiue causing such a scene, even if she left the Lian Family, it wouldn’t be so easy for her to return to the Zhao Family either.
Clearly in a predicament with nowhere to turn, she still fancied herself as having the upper hand. One wonders where Zhao Xiue gets the nerve to be so arrogant.
Speaking of which, when Zhao Xiue first entered the family, Lady Zhou really treated her well, and Lady Chiang had even been a little worried. As it turned out, there was no need for her to interfere; Zhao Xiue ruined herself all on her own. It really was a victory without honor!
Lady Chiang chuckled coldly in her heart, yet her face was full of concern as she walked over to assist Lady Zhou.
"What’s the matter, why is there such a fuss that even the streets are filled with onlookers?" Old Master Lian approached and asked Lady Zhou. He had taken his two sons to inspect the fields when he heard about the quarrel and had rushed back home.
"Zhao Xiue roughed up Erlang, Xiuxiu couldn’t stand it and said a word. Then Zhao Xiue, with an indecent attitude, showered Xiuxiu with words that were too atrocious to listen to. Even an old woman like me blushed to hear it; our Xiuxiu is still an unmarried girl." Lady Zhou immediately complained, "...she even cursed at me, saying I’ve given birth to two sons and committed terrible sins. I’ve lived all these years, only to be degraded by her younger brother. I’ve been useless. If I can walk and work now, what will happen when I can’t move anymore, am I going to be thrown into a ditch by her?"
The village onlookers, who loved a good drama, could not enter the Lian Family’s doors, but standing outside the main gate, they heard Lady Zhou’s words and couldn’t help but sympathize with her.
Zhao Xiue, inside the East Wing Room, ground her teeth in hatred, yet it wasn’t appropriate for her to immediately go out and argue with Lady Zhou.
"We’ll wait for the next time!" Zhao Xiue promised bitterly.
Old Master Lian’s expression was as dark as water, and he waved at Lady Zhou.
"Let’s all go inside." Old Master Lian spoke and took the lead into the Upper Room.
Lady Zhou knew that Old Master was displeased with them for causing a racket and embarrassing the Lian Family, so she followed him inside.
"You good-for-nothing, I haven’t karmically wronged anyone in my past life to have born such a turtle. I’ve lived honorably this whole life, and it’s all spoiled by your hands. If it weren’t for you, why would an old woman like me have to endure being pointed at and scolded by a young girl? You heartless thing, do you still have the face to smile? Why haven’t you quickly gone to He Laoliu to get the money back?" Lady Zhou walked a few steps before noticing that Lian Shouyi was beside her. Still angry, she vented on Lian Shouyi.
"Mother, it’s not that I haven’t gone to demand it; I’ve blocked He Laoliu twice today, but who knows where he’s hidden himself." Lian Shouyi replied with a forced smile.
