"We caught them. There are five or six dwarfs in this group. They disguise themselves as children to trick young girls and then sell them to faraway mountains. The pretty ones are sold to brothels.

Ah Yue, luckily you caught the human traffickers, so the authorities were able to follow the clues and catch other gangs, otherwise more innocent people would have been killed."

Tang Wanchu was so angry that his face puffed up and his eyes widened.

"It's good that you've been caught. You, next time you go out, don't trust others so easily. Try to bring your maids and servants with you."

Lin Shuyue poked her forehead with her finger.

Then he asked, "What is the identity of Xue Yufei in the silver shop today? Why is she so arrogant and unreasonable?"

"This Xue Yufei's father is Xue Tongzhi."

Tang Wanchu had a look of disdain on her face: "This Xue Tongzhi's wife has a biological sister, the Concubine Xu in the palace. This Xue Yufei has been domineering and overbearing by relying on Concubine Xu's power."

Lin Shuyue pondered for a moment, "What kind of person is her father?"

"This Xue Tongzhi is okay. My father said that although his talents are mediocre, he can still complete his duties.

It's just that his position as Tongzhi was arranged by his wife, Xu, who asked the old Concubine Xu to help him. He listens to Xu very much, and he dares not go west if Xu says east. "

"As for that Xu, she looked very kind, but once at a flower viewing banquet, I accidentally saw her staring at a little maid, and her eyes were very scary."

Tang Wanchu paused and continued, "She only has Xue Yufei as her child, so she dotes on her. Xue Yufei had previously cut a little girl's face with scissors, and it was Xu who stepped forward to help clean up the mess.

I heard that after giving a lot of silver, the scholar and his family took their daughter back to their hometown. "

Fearing that Lin Shuyue would worry, Tang Wanchu took her hand and comforted her: "Ayue, don't worry, you are my friend, Xue Yufei doesn't dare to touch you yet."

Lin Shuyue shook her head. "I'm not worried. I'm not afraid even if she causes trouble for me."

If she dares to reach out her hand, don't blame me for chopping off her claws.

Tang Wanchu thought she was just comforting herself and looked up at the sky.

"Oh, I have to go back. My mother only allows me to go out for one hour. If I leave for more than one hour, she won't let me go out next time."

In the front hall, Tang Yunci was listening with great interest to Lin Shuyuan and Lin Shuyan talking about what happened during their escape from famine.

Suddenly, he saw his sister come in with an anxious look on her face. She looked at the sky, held back her laughter, and said goodbye to Lin An, Li and others.

"Yun Ci is a really good kid, gentle and polite. Wan Chu is also kind and lovely."

Li looked at the backs of the brother and sister as they left and couldn't help but admire them.

......

At the Tang Mansion, Liu Yunfu looked at her daughter in surprise, "Really? Runiang and Ayue are coming to the capital?"

"Yes, mother, they just arrived in the city today and bought a house in the city."

Tang Wanchu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother was not angry because she was a quarter of an hour late.

"That's great. No, I want to tell your dad that we should go see them tomorrow morning. A Yue saved you, and you haven't thanked her properly yet." Liu Yufu was about to go out excitedly.

Tang Yunci quickly held her back, "Mom, Dad is still in the study taking care of official business. Let's talk about it over dinner later."

Liu Yufu slapped her forehead, thinking she had forgotten about it. She turned back to her seat and asked her daughter to tell her how they met.

Tang Wanchu's eyes rolled, and he told the story of how Xue Yufei bullied A Yue and how she scolded Aunt Yu Ru, adding fuel to the fire.

Tang Yunci looked at his sister speechlessly. It seemed that the one who was beaten was Xue Yufei. Her face would not heal in a few days.

When Liu Yufu heard that Xue Yufei was actually going to hit A Yue, she slammed her hand on the table, and the tea in the cup splashed onto the table.

"This Xue Yufei is really lawless. Does she really think her good aunt can protect her? No, I have to ask your father to have a good talk with Xue Yufei's father."

Xue Mansion.

Mrs. Xue looked at her daughter's red and swollen cheeks, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Then he looked at Yin Cui and Yin Ping who were kneeling on the ground. He waved his hand and had the old women waiting on both sides come forward and restrain them.

"Madam, please spare my life..."

Yincui and Yinping looked at Mother Huang with a ruler in her hand in horror and begged for mercy with tears.

"As a personal maid, you can't protect your master. What's the use of you, Madam Huang, beat you up!"

Madam Xue stared at the two maids like a poisonous snake.

"what..."

Mother Huang took the ruler and hit them hard on the cheeks, and the two maids screamed.

In less than a moment, the two's originally fair and tender faces were already torn into pieces, and the other maids waiting outside were trembling with fear at the screams.

Xue Yufei looked at the maid's face and felt better. She sat up from Madam Xue's arms and said angrily, "Mother, you must help Fei'er vent her anger. Catch that bitch. I want to tear her mouth and smash her face."

Madam Xue hugged her distressedly and comforted her softly, "My dear daughter, don't worry, I won't let them go. I have asked Xu Wu to check where the mother and daughter live."

Xue Yufei was delighted when she heard this, but then she frowned, "But Tang Wanchu and Brother Yun Ci both defended that bitch. If they knew about this, would they embarrass us?"

"Your aunt is the imperial concubine in the palace. Magistrate Tang would not be so stupid."

Disdain flashed in her eyes, and then she said earnestly: "Mother knows that you like Tang Yunci, but you can't lower your attitude too much, otherwise they will look down on you."

Xue Yufei listened to her mother's words, thoughtful.

In Wutong Lane, Lin Shuyue told Lin An and his son in detail about the conflict that took place in the silver shop in the afternoon, and asked them to beware of the Xue family.

When Lin An, his sons and his two sons heard that the mother and daughter were being bullied, their faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Only when they heard that they were not at a disadvantage did their faces look better.

"These people, relying on their family background, act tyrannically and bully us common people." Lin An said angrily.

As Lin Shuyan listened to his father's words, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

The next day, after breakfast, the Lin family was discussing whether to send a visiting card to the Tang residence.

At this time, Qing Wu hurried in.

"Master, Madam, Miss Tang and her family are here and are standing at the gate now."

"What?" Lin An and others were startled, then stood up and walked quickly towards the door.

When they arrived at the gate, the Lin family members saw a middle-aged man standing in the front, wearing a dark robe, with an upright figure and a reserved and steady temperament. They walked forward and were about to kneel down.

The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and pulled Lin An up, "You must be Ah Yue's father, no need to be polite."

Lin An bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency the Prefect." Then he led them inside, "Your Excellency the Prefect, Madam Tang, please come in."

Prefect Tang walked in front with his wife, Tang Wanchu held Lin Shuyue's hand, Tang Yunci and the two brothers Lin Shuyuan followed behind, and two servants followed behind them carrying a box.
