Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei took a few steps back and then ran past Xu Mohan, shouting:

"You think too much, young master. You should hurry up and get on with your journey."

After saying that, he ran into Xu's house.

Jiang Yuwei first found Manager Zhang and explained her purpose to him, then gave him the silver, and only then did she feel relieved.

Jiang Yuwei was afraid of running into Xu Mohan again if she went out through the front gate, so she just said hello to Manager Zhang and went out through the back door of Xu's house.

But just as Jiang Yuwei walked out of the door, she saw two familiar figures coming out of the alley in front. Jiang Yuwei wanted to chase them to see for herself, but after a few steps, she saw the two of them walking into a rouge shop hand in hand.

Jiang Yuwei thought that she was in a hurry to return the money to the remaining families, so she didn't delay any longer.

It was almost evening when Jiang Yuwei returned all the money, and this put her mind at ease.

When she returned to the gate of Sun's house, Tiezhu and others had already bought everything and were waiting for Jiang Yuwei at the door.

As soon as Jiang Yuwei got on the ox cart, she saw Madam Sun coming out of the Sun Mansion wearing a gray dress and carrying a package.

It seemed that Mr. Sun did not let her take too many things. At this time, Xiao Zuo, the boy who locked Ning Wan in the room that day, was following behind Mrs. Sun. He cried and pulled Mrs. Sun's sleeve and shouted:

"Mom, I won't let you go. Please don't go, mom. Xiao Zuo can't live without you."

Mrs. Sun also happened to see Jiang Yuwei, and she glared at her fiercely, then squatted down and wiped away Xiao Zuo's tears with a handkerchief.

"Xiao Zuo, a real man should not shed tears. Do you remember that woman? The reason why mother was kicked out of the Sun Mansion was because of her. When you grow up, you must avenge mother. It was she who caused us to be separated."

After saying that, Mrs. Sun hugged Xiao Zuo in her arms and silently shed tears.

Jiang Yuwei saw that Mrs. Sun actually instigated Xiao Zuo to hate her. Is it really okay to treat your own flesh and blood like this?

Jiang Yuwei didn't care whether he would take revenge or not. She was about to leave Ping'an Town anyway, and it was hard to say whether they would see each other again in the future, let alone revenge.

When Jiang Yuwei thought about the trap set by Madam Sun at the Sun Mansion today, she wanted to beat her up. If she were an ordinary woman, she would have fallen into her trap and her reputation would have been ruined for the rest of her life.

Now that I didn't take the initiative to cause trouble for her, she was the first to confuse right and wrong in front of the children. Jiang Yuwei became more and more angry, and shouted at Madam Sun on the ox cart:

"Mrs. Sun, please don't teach the child bad things. I will help you publicize the dirty things you and your cousin did. Your son will be ashamed of you for the rest of his life."

Madam Sun was so frightened when she heard Jiang Yuwei's words that her face changed immediately. She quickly let go of Xiao Zuo, stood up, glared at Jiang Yuwei, and cursed at her in a low voice:

"Don't talk nonsense. You just want to ruin the reputation of our Sun Mansion. I think you are an ungrateful person. It was the old lady who met the wrong person. Our Sun Mansion got involved with a troublemaker like you, which caused our Sun Mansion to fall apart. Are you satisfied now?"

When Jiang Yuwei heard her mention the old lady, she felt uncomfortable, so she glared back at her and cursed:

"Don't talk nonsense. The Sun Mansion has fallen into such a state today because of you who have nothing better to do than to live a good life. If you want me to shut up, pay me the hush money. Otherwise, I will publicize everything you have done and see who is shameless!"

After hearing this, Madam Sun wanted to eat Jiang Yuwei alive, but when she thought about her unmarried sister in her natal family and her own little Zuo who would have to pass the imperial examinations in the future, she could not afford to have any mistakes with her reputation. Of course, what she feared most was that she would lose face in Ping'an Town in the future.

So he reluctantly took out a ten-liang silver note from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Yuwei.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei didn't hesitate to take the banknote from her hand and put it away. Then she told Ning Wu:

"Ning Wu, let's go quickly and stay away from this unlucky person."

Mrs. Sun gnashed her teeth and shouted:

"Don't forget what you promised me!"

Jiang Yuwei just waved her hand at her in disdain and stopped looking at her.

After the ox cart had gone far away, Ning Qiu could no longer suppress his curiosity and whispered in Jiang Yuwei's ear:

"Sister Yuwei, what did the lady say to you just now? Tell me quickly."

Seeing her gossipy look, Jiang Yuwei reached out and flicked her forehead, then said with a smile:

"Don't mention that person, it's unlucky! You are getting married tomorrow, have you bought new clothes?"

When Ning Qiu heard Jiang Yuwei talking about this, she blushed and said:

"I've already bought them. Aunt Zhou is so nice to me that she insisted on buying me two sets of ready-made clothes. I said that every farmer makes his own clothes, so I thought about buying some cloth and making them myself. Aunt Zhou wouldn't let me, saying that the styles in the ready-made clothes shop are nice. So, I was forced to buy two sets."

Ning Qiu said this and pointed to his backpack embarrassedly.

Jiang Yuwei glanced into the backpack and said with a smile:

"Our Ning Qiu is really good at managing her life. She already knows how to save money for Ning Wu before she even gets married."

Ning Qiu's face turned redder to her ears after hearing this, and she reached out to poke Jiang Yuwei embarrassedly.

Aunt Zhou at the side also laughed and said:

"Ning Qiu is a good girl. When she marries Ning Wu, they will surely live a prosperous life."

Ning Wu, who was driving the cart in front, felt very happy when he heard his mother say this. While driving the cart, he did not forget to look back and secretly glance at Ning Qiu.

Jiang Yuwei saw this and joked:

"Ning Wu, please watch the road carefully. Don't drive the ox cart into the ditch just to see Ning Qiu."

After hearing this, Ning Qiu quickly turned her body to the side, picked up a handkerchief and shyly covered her face.

Ning Wu scratched his head in embarrassment, muttering:

"No, no."

Aunt Zhou smiled helplessly when she saw the two of them:

"This silly son of mine will definitely love his wife in the future."

Fortunately, there were no bandits along the way, and they returned to the village chatting and laughing. Ning Wu first sent Ning Qiu to the headman's house.

The two families sat down and talked for a while, and Aunt Zhou gave the betrothal gift she had prepared long ago to the village head.

After discussing how many tables to prepare for the banquet, Aunt Ning looked at Jiang Yuwei and then at Aunt Zhou and said hesitantly:

"Well, although we want to keep it simple, my parents heard that Ning Qiu is getting married, and they all clamored to come and see Ning Qiu off, so there are quite a lot of people here. Since our two families are from the same village, we won't hold it alone in our own courtyard. We thought of sending the guests to your place for the wedding."

Aunt Ning looked at Aunt Zhou's expression and continued:

"I'm just worried that your yard is too small to accommodate so many people."

Seeing Aunt Zhou's awkward expression, Jiang Yuwei smiled and took over the conversation:

"It will be more lively if we host the two families together. We are from the same village and have many relatives. There is no need to invite two guests separately. Aunt Zhou's yard is small, so it's okay. My yard can also be used."

Aunt Zhou showed a grateful look after hearing Jiang Yuwei's words.

"Yuwei, look, I have to trouble you again. Thank you so much."

Aunt Ning was very happy to hear Jiang Yuwei say this, and hurriedly took Jiang Yuwei's hand and said with a smile:

"Okay, then let's do as Yuwei said. There's nothing else to do. Let's all prepare."

After the matter was settled, everyone left the headman's house and headed back. Just as the ox cart reached the Ning family's gate, Jiang Yuwei saw from afar that many villagers had gathered at the gate, whispering to each other and discussing something.

When the ox cart got closer, Jiang Yuwei heard Sun cursing in the yard:

"You vixen, you failed to seduce our eldest brother, and now you're targeting my Chunlin! You won't succeed as long as I'm here!"
