This turn of events almost made Wu San gasp for breath.

He was so angry that he yelled.

"Well, you dare to lock me up? You are just a few yamen runners, how dare you do this to me? You just wait for me!"

He shouted arrogantly, but the bailiffs were not annoyed but happy instead. The more noise they made, the more reason they had to arrest them. Then they would all be thrown into jail, which would be a lot of fun.

Wu San and others were taken away, and the silver ingot and the spring knife were also taken to the yamen.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe did not leave immediately. They saw the manager of the theater quickly had people clean up, change the teacups, and quickly rearrange the place to its original state.

The storyteller moistened his throat and began to tell the story again.

After the farce just now, not only did the number of people not decrease, but there were more. Those who came to watch the fun also stayed to listen to the story.

Yan Ruyu listened for a while and said to Huo Changhe, "Don't say that, the storyteller is really good."

Huo Changhe nodded: "The abbot's book is still good."

Yan Ruyu burst out laughing. Yes, the book was originally written by the abbot overnight.

After leaving the bookstore and reaching the intersection, I met a few yamen runners who were escorting a few people who looked like servants towards the yamen.

This should be from another bookstore.

Yan Ruyu was in a good mood: "It's starting to show results."

"I'm sure the Wu family will soon feel how loud this slap is." Huo Changhe said in a slightly cold tone.

"She asked for it."

Originally, if Old Madam Wu hadn't come to her door herself, Yan Ruyu wouldn't have known that there was such a person in Youcheng. She could have lived a good life but had to make such a fuss.

Yan Ruyu really couldn't understand her train of thought.

However, since someone has come to her, she has to fight back, and she has to fight back beautifully and with a loud slap.

"Let's go home," Yan Ruyu made Huo Changhe smile and his mood improved a lot.

The two of them returned home happily, but the Wu family was in chaos.

Old Madam Wu had a gloomy face. When she was young, she had a long and thin face, which made her look older than others. As she got older, she became even thinner, with sagging skin and sunken eye sockets, making her look even more gloomy.

She originally had three daughters-in-law, but now only the eldest and the third are left. The second daughter died two years ago due to poor health.

Unfortunately, the eldest son was born out of wedlock and was not liked by her, so the job of the eldest daughter-in-law was even more difficult. She was far less favored than the wife of the third lady's biological youngest son.

It was the Third Lady who instigated the Old Lady to send the invitation to the Prince's Palace.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Liu, was not very willing to agree at first. She was scolded back as soon as she opened her mouth tentatively, so she simply stopped talking.

Sure enough, this incident soon backfired.

For a while, all the storytelling venues were telling the same story, about an unmarried woman who seduced her distant brother-in-law and got pregnant before getting married. That was not all, she also colluded with the man she had an affair with and pushed the blame on another loyal man.

Although she said it vaguely, Mrs. Wu was a gossipy person by nature. When she was young, she also loved to seduce men, so she always paid special attention to matters in this regard.

In addition to paying attention, she also likes to think about things. Maybe she has some talent in this area. Once she thinks about it, sometimes she can really figure out some things.

She and the Princess of Yongchang County did not have much in common. They were distant relatives and were already five generations apart. But she was able to get close to the prince through an affair and was even granted the title of Princess of Yongchang, which made her extremely envious.

Later, after careful analysis and consideration, she realized that there was something fishy going on.

However, that was the emperor, and she would never dare to gossip about him no matter what.

Now that Huo Changhe and his family have come to Youcheng, she actually wants to disgust the eldest lady.

So, when the third daughter-in-law mentioned this proposal, she agreed.

Unexpectedly, this was like stirring up a hornet's nest. All the bookstores in the city seemed to come alive in an instant, with many hornets flying out to sting.

Is this still available?

She could make her own guesses, but she kept them to herself and dared not tell anyone. But now that it has become such a big deal, the whole city is talking about it.

Although no names were mentioned and there were some discrepancies in the story, what if? What if someone could tell the difference?

By the way, the Sima family is still in Youcheng, and they are the relatives of the late queen.

After much thought, Old Lady Wu decided that this book could not be told, and that she had to find someone to teach those storytellers a lesson and make them shut up.

Old Madam Wu was eating snacks while her third daughter-in-law was rubbing her shoulders and her eldest daughter-in-law was massaging her legs.

"Old man, you better be smart and keep an eye on it. Don't be careless about the snacks."

Before the eldest daughter-in-law could speak, the third daughter-in-law said, "Yes, sister-in-law, mother has entrusted you with such an important matter. You must not mess it up. You must live up to mother's trust in you."

The eldest daughter-in-law said calmly, "If you like it, Third Sister-in-law, why not give it to you? Anyway, it was you who came up with the idea of ​​this flower viewing party."

The third daughter-in-law was startled and said aggrievedly: "Mother, the eldest sister-in-law is angry with me. It's my fault. I'm so nosy. Why do this for no reason? I also want mother to be happy, to make her happy and live a long life, so that we can be her children for a few years..."

"Sister-in-law, if you are angry, just scold me, don't blame mother."

Before the eldest daughter-in-law could say anything, Old Madam Wu kicked her away and said, "You are such a heartless and unfilial person. I was wondering why everything went wrong for the past two days, and you are the one cursing me behind my back after all this trouble."

"Mom, I didn't," the eldest daughter-in-law said, feeling a little pain in her waist, and endured it, "I didn't say anything."

"You didn't say it, but do you dare to say you didn't think about it? Humph, your family eats and uses the money provided by the mansion, so why, when I ask you to do something, you feel resentful and curse me behind my back?"

The eldest daughter-in-law took a deep breath and said, "Mother, I really have never dared to disobey you..."

"Okay, shut up!"

The third daughter-in-law advised: "Oh, mother, don't be angry. It's not good to be angry. If the eldest sister-in-law says there is no, then there is no. Anyway, you are destined to live a hundred years."

Madam Wu smiled and said, "You are so sweet."

She took another piece of dessert and ate it. "The desserts that the governor's wife gave us are really good. We ordered from the shop she recommended, which is also a favor to her."

"The governor's wife is an understanding person, and mother is a smart person. When we meet, she will naturally understand. Don't worry, mother."

"That's right. This time I can show off my face and give face to the governor's wife. By establishing a relationship with her, it's like killing three birds with one stone."

"Mother is still the best."

Mrs. Wu was satisfied and looked outside: "Is Wu San back?"

The maid standing at the door replied, "Madam, not yet."

Madam Wu laughed and scolded, "I don't know where this little monkey has gone to play again."

Wu San is Mr. Wu's cousin, and according to seniority, he calls Madam Wu his aunt. Although he appears to be arrogant outside, he is usually sweet-talking and good at dealing with people in the mansion, and is quite liked by the old lady, who is very tolerant of him.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard in the yard, and someone came in quickly to report.

"Old lady, it's not good!"
