Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Not to mention that Du Wenxiu was confident, but Wu Ziwei in the car below was looking hatefully at the two people fighting outside the car.

"Auntie Wu, that's enough. We should go back."

A middle-aged woman in a brick-red jacket sitting next to her yawned and advised impatiently.

Wu Ziwei, who was called aunt, glared at her hatefully, turned her head away, and continued to stare outside as if she didn't hear her.

The woman was not angry. She lifted the curtain and called the driver sitting in front:

"Well, go and persuade them. Do you really want to kill someone and cause more trouble for the master?"

Wu Ziwei suddenly kicked the woman on the buttocks and said angrily:

"What did he say that day? As long as I agree to come to the mansion, I can do whatever I want. Are you scared just because of such a small incident?"

The woman looked annoyed and turned back to curse, but she held herself back.

Qiang suppressed his anger and said, "Mrs. Wu, Wenyue Tower also has a backer. Although our family is not in a position to offend them, it is better to have less trouble than more."

Wu Ziwei's face became even gloomier. Haha, men, no matter what they say, they are not afraid of anything for their own sake, but in the end they still have to weigh the gains and losses.

With regard to today's incident, he was afraid that his importance was not enough to cause him to offend Wen Yue Tower's backers.

But, I just couldn’t swallow the anger in my heart. It was stuck in my throat and almost made me suffocate.

"Don't go. If you ruin my business, I'll ask him to beat you to death when I get back!" Wu Ziwei's face was ferocious, and her lowered voice sounded even sharper.

The woman also became angry and ignored her.

Suddenly, the noisy scene outside the car became quiet. Wu Ziwei lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw several yamen runners blocking the outside of the car.

When he turned his head to look, he saw Dongxing County Magistrate Zhong Muqing standing there in official uniform, ordering people to arrest the two parties who were fighting and reprimanding them.

Wu Ziwei pursed her lips unwillingly. When she heard County Magistrate Zhong asking the master to come out and talk, she glanced at the woman who was accompanying her, only to see that she had a wooden face and did not move.

Wu Ziwei raised his foot and kicked her again. The woman glared at her and saw that Wu Ziwei's eyes were fierce and frightening.

Hearing the urgent voice outside, he took a deep breath, then slowly opened the car door and got out.

Zhong Muqing had already asked about the fight between the two. When he saw the woman getting off the car, he shouted:

"Why did this woman, knowing that a restaurant was open here, still order the driver to pass by and instruct his followers to deliberately cause trouble?"

The woman stepped forward and whispered who her master was, but Zhong Muqing turned his face and scolded:

"Who is the head of the family? Why do you have the audacity to state your name? Why are you whispering to each other without being seen?"

The woman's face immediately turned red, and she stammered for a long time without being able to utter a word. She watched Wu Ziwei in the car tear the handkerchief in her hand.

Du Wenxiu and Yue Niang were watching Wu Ziwei's behavior in the car from upstairs, and they were puzzled:

"When she came to Wenyuefang, we also received her politely and sent her away. How could we have such a deep hatred that she would come to cause trouble at the restaurant's opening."

However, no matter how puzzled he was, the county magistrate had already arrived downstairs, and it would be very rude for him to wait in the box for someone to come.

So Du Wenxiu went downstairs to greet them, while Yue Niang went to the kitchen to order food and wine.

Here, Zhong Muqing's serious face became darker and darker. The woman told the master's name, which turned out to be the youngest son of Yuan Hanlin, a local official in Beijing.

When he was young, he did not learn a lot and bullied the people in his hometown. After being taught a lesson by Yuan Hanlin, he turned over a new leaf and made some achievements as a businessman.

The person sitting in the car, Wu Ziwei, was his new seventh concubine, whom he now held in high esteem and treated with all his heart.

The trouble downstairs of Wenyue Tower today was instigated by Wu Ziwei.

When the people heard this, they were all shocked and shouted for the concubine to come out and see them so that they could see what a beautiful person she was who could have bewitched people to such an extent.

Wu Ziwei's face turned pale in the carriage. At this moment, Du Wenxiu came to the door to greet her. He chatted with Zhong Muqinghan for a few words and then warmly invited her upstairs.

Zhong Muqing turned around and shouted at the woman, asking her to report today's events to her master, and to go to the county government office at noon tomorrow to find him to deal with the matter.

He sent two more people to take the man who started the fight to the county government office and locked him up, then turned to look at the woman.

"If my lord is busy, I will have to pay you a visit." Zhong Muqing said this in a gloomy tone and followed Du Wenxiu into Wenyue Tower.

The woman was left standing there in a daze for a while. When she saw the crowd gathering again and the singing and dancing starting on the stage, she turned around and got into the car.

When I got in the car, I saw Wu Ziwei, who was pale, huddled in a corner of the car clutching a handkerchief. The woman was even more unhappy:

"Next time you go out, don't ask me to follow you. Fighting and going to jail are too much for me."

After that, without waiting for her to say anything, he told the driver to hurry up. The driver looked back with a bitter face:

"Now, people have gathered again. We can't turn or retreat, and there is no way to go forward."

The woman felt like she was having a heart attack. She stroked her chest and took a few deep breaths. She got off the car with the driver and begged for mercy from everyone for a long time before they made way for her.

The woman made up her mind secretly, and went back to take the gilded white jade willow-leaf-shaped hairpin inlaid with gold that the mistress had given her last time, and went to ask Madam Li, who was in charge of personnel, to please her and change her job.

If she stayed in Aunt Wu's yard any longer, she was afraid that one day she would not be able to bear it anymore and would scratch the pretty face of this troublemaker.

It was not long after Zhong Muqing followed Du Wenxiu upstairs and sat down that the door to the private room opened and a clear and sweet voice rang out:

"I'm late. I asked Magistrate Zhong, Madam Du, and Madam An to wait for me. I really deserve to be punished!"

Du Wenxiu looked up and saw that it was Madam Cheng from the Jinyi Pavilion who had come uninvited. He was a little surprised.

"It was I who invited Madam Cheng, but forgot to inform the host family. I should be punished."

Zhong Muqing poured himself a cup and drank it. Madam Cheng also drank one and said:

"Mr. Zhong is also concerned about the people, how can he be punished? Why don't we all drink a cup together?"

Du Wenxiu glanced at Yue Niang and saw that she also looked confused.

Zhong Muqing suddenly realized, "Look at me. I was delayed by the things below and didn't explain it clearly to Madam Du and Madam An."

Only then did he explain the purpose of his visit, which was actually to do what Du Wenxiu had boasted and promised to everyone yesterday.

"Mrs. Cheng had come to me earlier. There are many embroiderers and seamstresses in her workshop. She has also done things like what Mrs. Du's workshop did yesterday to support the workers."

"It's just that the workshop led by a woman is for the woman to take the lead, which will inevitably cause a lot of trouble in the future."

Du Wenxiu listened and nodded. She had also thought about this question.

If you stand up for the women, like Jiang Shuimei, and help her get a divorce, you will inevitably face harassment from her family members;

There are also people like Wu Sanmei, who quarreled and made a fuss, but then went back.

It would be fine if the person is grateful, but if one is not careful, he may be branded as someone who sows discord between couples, and sooner or later he will be included in the group of gossipy women.
