Xu's father and Xu's mother quickly stepped forward to help their son up, feeling angry but not daring to express it. With so many people around, they felt it was unfair that their small family was being bullied.
After lifting Xu Changfu up, Xu's mother caught sight of Xu's wife sitting on the chair and became furious, rushing towards her.
"You wretched woman! You failed to protect your child and even tattled, losing all our family's face!"
Seeing Xu's mother approaching in such a manner, Xu's wife reflexively became scared, her body trembling, her face pale, and she curled up.
Xia Zongxian, standing aside, drew his sword to block Xu's mother, shouting sternly, "How dare you!"
Xu's mother was startled, her impulsive anger fading, leaving only fear behind.
