The Jiang family had spiraled into chaos over the past few days, especially the mother, resorting to random acts of aggression, such as biting people. Their typically arrogant and unreasonable behavior had become more pronounced.
It wasn't unusual for them to create a commotion, but this time, Jiang Caixiu's mother seemed unlikely to gain any advantages. In the past, the county magistrate had favored the Yan family, but now that Jiang Caixiu had offended the magistrate and his mother had offended Yan Danqiu, their prospects seemed grim. Unless they achieved scholarly honors, they would likely be at the mercy of others.
The villagers, however, were indifferent. The decline of the Jiang family was inconsequential, as the Yan family now held sway. Both families were formidable entities, not to be crossed.
