In the carriage, Lin Shuyue and Wu Yuanan talked about Lin Shuyan's enrollment.

"Brother Wu, are there any girls' schools in our Great Zhou Dynasty?" Lin Shuyue was a little curious.

Wu Yuanan nodded and replied, "There is a girls' school in the capital. Why, Ah Yue wants to go there?"

"No, no, no, I don't want to go. I just want to ask." She shook her head quickly. She didn't want to go to school and suffer again.

Wu Yuanan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her face full of resistance.

Suddenly, Lin Shuyue's ears moved and she gestured to Wu Yuanan not to speak.

She opened the window and looked out, and saw another carriage following not far behind theirs.

"Ayue, what's wrong?" Wu Yuanan looked at Lin Shuyue in confusion.

Lin Shuyue's face was a little serious: "Brother Wu, there is a carriage following us all the way from the study. I thought it was just passing by, but now we are almost at Jing'an Lane, and the carriage is still following us."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuanan also leaned out to take a look, pondered for a moment, stood up and lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Wu Mo, go back to the county government directly."

Wu Mo didn't understand why, but he still asked the driver to turn right and head towards the county government office.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the side door of the county government's backyard. Wu Yuanan turned his head and looked at Lin Shuyue: "Ayue, go back after lunch. It's a good opportunity to accompany your sister-in-law Yujiao."

Lin Shuyue nodded, got off the carriage, glanced at the carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, and walked into the side door with Wu Yuanan.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Wu Yuanan immediately ordered Wu Mo: "Send someone to follow the carriage at the entrance of the alley and see who is in the carriage?"

"Yes, young master." Wu Mo took the order and hurried down to make arrangements.

Wu Yuanan took Lin Shuyue through a small garden to the flower hall in the backyard, where He Yujiao was reconciling accounts with the manager.

Seeing her husband bringing Lin Shuyue in, she immediately stood up and walked happily to Lin Shuyue: "Ayue, you are here?"

After saying that, he waved his hand to let the steward go, then pulled Lin Shuyue to sit down, and asked Lu Yu to serve tea and snacks.

Lin Shuyue took He Yujiao's arm and said jokingly, "Sister-in-law Yujiao, I'm here to have lunch today."

"Really? That's great, Luyu. Ask the kitchen to add a red date and red swallow's nest for lunch. Oh, and ask Aunt Huang to make another dish of soft pearl fish."

He Yujiao gave instructions one after another, then turned to Lin Shuyue and said, "Ah Yue, the soft-fried fish made by the new Madam Huang in the mansion is very delicious. You must try it later."

"Okay, I'll try it later." Lin Shuyue replied with a smile.

"Madam." Wu Yuanan stood at the door of the flower hall, looking at his wife with a resentful look as she left him aside and only cared about talking to Lin Shuyue.

He Yujiao was startled when she heard his voice, and waved to him, "Husband, what are you doing standing there? Come and sit down."

Wu Yuanan laughed and shook his head, and ordered a servant to go to Jing'an Lane to inform the Lin family that Lin Shuyue was staying in the mansion for lunch, and then went into the flower hall and sat down on the chair opposite.

At this time, Wu Mo hurried over and bowed to report: "Master, our people have been following the carriage and saw it stopped at the gate of the Wan Mansion. The person who got off the carriage was the second young lady of the Wan family."

Wu Yuanan and Lin Shuyue's faces darkened when they heard this. Seeing He Yujiao's puzzled look, Lin Shuyue took the initiative to explain to her about being followed.

When He Yujiao heard that the second daughter of the Wan family was following her husband, she became annoyed and said, "It seems she still won't give up." Then she glared at Wu Yuanan again.

Wu Yuanan touched his nose with an innocent expression, "Madam, I have already sent people to warn Wan Dafu, but who knows why they don't understand what we say. Madam, don't worry, I have no second thoughts about you." He said sincerely with his hand raised.

Lin Shuyue looked at Wu Yuanan seriously and said, "Brother Wu, you still need to resolve this matter as soon as possible. I heard people discussing this matter in the teahouse the day before yesterday.

Now the Wan family is still taking advantage of Brother Wu's power to bully innocent people. Over time, it will also damage your reputation."

Lin Shuyue complained bluntly that if Wu Yuanan continued to do nothing, his reputation would be ruined.

Wu Yuanan and his wife were a little surprised when they heard this. They hadn't paid attention to the rumors outside in the past two days. He had sent someone to explain the situation in the restaurant that day and also warned them.

Wu Yuanan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and asked Wu Mo to come forward: "Wu Mo, you personally take people to every shop and restaurant of the Wan family, and spread the word when there are many people around, saying that I have nothing to do with the Wan family, and ask them not to use my name to do anything. Finally, please respect yourself, Second Miss of the Wan family."

In the past two days, he has been busy with the spring farming situation in Sishui County and has not paid attention to the rumors outside.

Since the Wan family wants to kidnap him with rumors, don't blame him for fighting back with rumors. As for whether the reputation of the second young lady of the Wan family will be affected, it is not within his consideration at all.

Wu Mo took the order and left. He Yujiao took Lin Shuyue's hand gratefully and said, "Ayue, thank you for reminding us. If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known that they were so bold."

After having a hearty lunch, Lin Shuyue took a carriage back to Jing'an Lane.

When she returned home and passed by the east courtyard, she heard some noise in the yard and walked in to take a look out of curiosity.

The eldest brother Lin Shuyuan looked serious, swinging a Tang sword vigorously. Lin Shuyue did not disturb him and left the yard and returned to his own west wing.

.......

In the afternoon, thanks to Wu Mo's efforts, everyone in the county knew that the Wan family was bullying others by abusing the name of the county magistrate, and that the second daughter of the Wan family shamelessly pestered the county magistrate, thus offending him.

Those who had been oppressed by the Wan family were eager to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Several wealthy families in the county were also instructed to try not to have anything to do with the Wan family in the future.

As for Wan Xue, she has become a negative example in the eyes of all the women in the county. Some of the ladies who used to be on good terms with Mrs. Wan have carefully warned their children not to have any contact with Wan Xue, so as to avoid being implicated.

......

At the Wan Mansion, Wan Dafu stared at the fragments on the ground without saying a word. Wan Xue, who was sitting next to him, was sobbing softly while clutching a handkerchief.

At this time, a little maid came in hurriedly and reported: "Madam, the maid next to Madam Ma just sent a message saying that you...you don't have to go to the flower viewing banquet the day after tomorrow."

"Swish..." Wu Mei angrily swept the cup on the table to the ground and cursed: "They are all a bunch of villains who take advantage of the situation!"

The little maid was shaking and didn't dare to speak. Wan Dafu, who was sitting at the top, still didn't say anything, but his displeasure could be clearly sensed.

"Master, what should we do? Everyone knows that the magistrate doesn't like us anymore. Xueer's reputation is also ruined. What should we do in the future?" Wu Mei frowned, looking worried.

Wan Dafu raised his head and glanced at Wan Xue coldly: "What else can we do except go to his house to apologize? Who asked your good daughter to follow the county magistrate and get discovered by him?"
