Ji Songbai noticed Qiao Ye as soon as he came in.

Although the woman looked thin, she had an indescribable aura and power.

The eyes are brighter and clearer, giving people a sense of elegance and refreshment.

But you can't tell that he was a fool before.

If she wasn't so thin and her face looked a bit pale from hunger, she wouldn't look like a country girl.

Judging from her temperament, she might be mistaken for a lady from a wealthy family.

He bowed to Qiao Ye and said, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

He is two years older than Lu Shao.

Qiao Ye smiled at him generously, "Hello, Master Ji!"

She didn't say much to Ji Songbai. After greeting her, she sat next to the old lady.

The old lady smiled warmly at Ji Songbai and said, "Mr. Ji, please take a seat."

Then ask the eldest daughter-in-law to make tea.

Lu Qingrong didn't expect that the young master of the Ji family would actually come to the countryside to buy mosquito coils and candles.

It seems that the mosquito coils and candles that are not available on the market are really good things.

The old lady exchanged a few pleasantries with Ji Songbai, then tactfully said, "You have something to talk to Wu Lang about, you two can chat."

The main reason was that she had never dealt with such a young man, so she was still a little scared, and the same went for other people in the Lu family.

At the same time, they were also very excited and happy that Wulang could make friends with such a noble man, and that he liked their candles and mosquito coils.

Lu Qingrong originally wanted to find a topic to talk to Ji Songbai and get closer to him.

Who knew his mother would say this, and there was nothing more to say.

He thought that the people in the Lu family were holding him back.

Lu Shao sat next to Ji Songbai and said with a smile, "We have mosquito coils and candles."

"The mosquito coils are still the same as last time, and the candles have the shapes of bamboo and plum, orchid and chrysanthemum."

He said it on purpose in front of his father.

If his father could see it but couldn't get it, he would feel even more uncomfortable.

Ji Songbai also discovered Lu Qingrong. After hearing what Lu Shao said, he knew that the other party was not hiding anything.

Then he smiled with shining eyes and said, "That's a collection of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. Can you show it to me?"

Lu Shao smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get it."

Just as Lu Shao went to get the mosquito coils, there was another knock on the door.

Dalang took the initiative to open the door.

This time, the head of the Lu family, two elders and the village chief walked in together.

Seeing four people coming in, the old lady was a little puzzled as to why these people came.

She greeted with a smile, "Village leader, clan leader, eldest brother, second brother, why are you here?"

The two elders who came were her husband's two brothers.

The clan leader said, "Someone called us earlier and said that the fifth brother beat his daughter-in-law, so we came to take a look."

After saying this, he looked at Lu Qingrong with disapproval.

The same goes for the other three.

Lu Qingrong really wanted to swear.

He didn't expect that he didn't go to the clan leader and others to make trouble, but they were called by the villagers.

And he started saying that he beat his daughter-in-law. Did they see that?

Feeling Ji Songbai's surprised look at him, he almost collapsed.

I was just about to explain.

Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, elders. My father-in-law was angry before, so he waved his shoulder at me."

"But my uncle and the others held me back, so I wasn't hurt."

"I'm sorry to bother you, elders, to come here. Thank you for your hard work!"

Her words made the four of them feel comforted. Wulang's wife was polite and good at speaking, better than her mother-in-law.

After Qiao Ye finished speaking, he looked at the Lu brothers.

Several people shuddered and immediately agreed with a smile, "Yes, we pulled Lao Wu away and stopped him, so Wu Lang's wife was not injured."

Boss Lu added, "Old Five was instigated by his wife, so he acted impulsively. Now he knows he was wrong."

This kind of thing was originally an injustice to Lao Wu, and it would be too embarrassing if it got out, so he helped to describe it.

But these words made the situation worse, basically confirming that Lu Qingrong beat his daughter-in-law, and also dragged Yu Wanzhi into the matter.

Lu Qingrong and Yu Wanzhi: "..."

This makes me want to vomit blood. Can these idiots speak?

Yu Wanzhi was even more angry. What did this have to do with her?

Lu Qingrong hurriedly looked at the clan leader and said, "That's not the case. You misunderstood."

"It was Wulang's wife who wanted to hit me. I didn't hit her at all."

If he doesn't explain clearly, he will be convicted of beating his daughter-in-law. How will the people in the clan look at him in the future?

The clan leader frowned and said, "Old Fifth, you have become more and more out of touch since you married the widow of the Zhou family."

"Your brother and the others are watching, and you're still trying to make excuses."

"I think you are simply blinded by lust."

"Don't forget that Wulang is your biological son."

"You always dislike him and keep looking for trouble with him and his wife. Is that fun?"

"Don't let a woman whisper in your ear and forget that your last name is Lu."

They have all heard about what happened recently. Lu Qingrong was really outrageous.

I couldn't help but feel disgusted with Yu.

They used to think that this woman was a good person, but ever since Wulang was sent back to the village, they felt that she might not be what she seemed.

Sure enough, her true colors have now been revealed; she is a wicked and vicious woman.

He is also a troublemaker, causing chaos in the family.

Lu Qingrong was originally the Lu family member they favored the most and had the potential to bring honor to the family, so they had always supported him.

They invested a lot of their connections and resources in Lu Qingrong.

Otherwise, how could Lu Qingrong go to the county town to study and have a scholar from the best school as his teacher?

But now they are a little uncertain.

Can a man who does nothing but flirt for a woman really succeed in the future?

For the sake of a woman and step-sons and stepdaughters, he is so cruel to his own son. Can he really help the clan in the future?

The two clan elders also couldn't help but criticize Lu Qingrong.

One person said with a sullen face: "You have such a good daughter-in-law, and she is also the lucky star of our village. Why don't you like her?"

"Is it because she is no longer stupid and has become normal, so that Wulang will no longer be laughed at and embarrassed, that you, as a father, feel unhappy?"

This is what the villagers just said.

"You are not close to your own son, but you treat the offspring of the Zhou family better than your own son. We think you are becoming more and more confused."

Another person added, "That's outrageous, Lao Wu, you are too outrageous. If your father were still alive, he would break your legs."

Because the village chief had a different surname, he just followed along and didn't say much.

But in his heart he couldn't help but despise Lu Qingrong.

This was the first time in their village that a father-in-law beat his daughter-in-law, and the person involved was a scholar. It was really embarrassing.

Lu Qingrong's eyes turned red from being scolded, completely red from anger.

It seems that they couldn't hear what he was explaining.

He was convicted as soon as he arrived and was proven to have beaten his daughter-in-law.

He also implicitly scolded him for being cruel and waiting for a woman, which was ruining his reputation in front of Master Ji.

He couldn't help but said, "Now our family is headed by Wulang's wife, and my brothers and the others are on her side. What they said is totally false."

"It was obviously me who was beaten."

As he spoke he hugged his arms, revealing the purple bruises from being beaten with a carrying pole.

Qiao Ye didn't say anything, so Lu Laosi quickly said, "Laowu, it was obviously you who beat Wulang's wife, and she was afraid and avoided him."

"You hit me too hard, and the pole rebounded and hit your arm."

"How dare you use this to wrongly accuse your daughter-in-law?"

The wives of several other families followed suit and said, "That's right, we all saw it with our own eyes, it was Lao Wu who beat Wu Lang's wife."

"Wulang even stood up to block it. If it weren't for his uncles holding him back, Wulang would have been in trouble. He would have been beaten to death by Lao Wu today."

He then said with a hint of meaning: "What a sin! No wonder even the Qiao family members secretly cursed us for having a vicious woman in our family."

What this means is that Yu Wanzhi instigated Lao Wu to kill Wu Lang.

Lu Qingrong was furious. "You are slandering me. It's nonsense. It's unreasonable."

Yu Wanzhi was so angry that she wanted to faint on the spot. How could these people be so shameless?

In the past, she was the only one who could throw dirty water on others, but now it's being thrown back at her. She feels so uncomfortable.

Especially in front of the young master of the Ji family.

The same goes for the elders of the clan. They didn't come earlier or later, but came at this moment.

She cried with red eyes: "It's unfair!"

"I have never done anything to instigate my husband against Wu Lang. I have always treated him as my own son."

"Today he contradicted my husband again, and my husband got angry and wanted to teach him a lesson with a carrying pole."

"Who knew that Wulang's wife would snatch it away and beat up her father-in-law instead."

She looked at Mrs. Lu and the others and asked, "How can you lie with your eyes open like this?"

Fourth Sister Lu sneered: "You two are the ones who are lying with open eyes."

"We all saw Lao Wu beating Wu Lang's wife, and he wanted to kill Wu Lang."

"I never heard Wu Lang talk back to Lao Wu, and his wife never hit her father-in-law back."

"Before, you falsely accused Wu Lang of talking back to his father, and you found an excuse to deliberately send him to the countryside."

"He hasn't even paid a cent for his tuition. It's clear that he doesn't want him to continue his studies."

"It's because he is more talented and capable than the bastard you brought with you in terms of studies, and you are afraid that he will surpass the bastard."

"Now, in front of the clan leader and Mr. Ji, he has publicly accused Wu Lang of talking back to his elders, in an attempt to ruin his reputation."

"You vicious woman, you have the nerve to say you are not targeting Wu Lang."

In fact, even they couldn't understand why the fifth brother would be so cruel to his own son.

I can only sigh that this vixen is so resourceful.

Mrs. Lu said to Yu Wanzhi, "You are just a vicious woman. You don't want anything good for Wu Lang at all."

"You sent us to the village before and spread a lot of bad things about Goro."

"We didn't know your intentions and thought it was true, so you used it to spread it."

"I feel so embarrassed when I think about it now."

"How dare you say that? You treat Wulang as your own son. Only a fool would believe it."

"Does your conscience allow it?"

They were awakened by Wulang's wife a few days ago, and realized that they had been used as arrows by this vicious woman.

So abominable.

These words stunned the four clan leaders, and they all looked at Yu Wanzhi.

The fifth brother’s wife is so vicious.

Ji Songbai had seen a lot of secrets in the backyard, and he knew before that Lu Shao was sent back to the village because of the stepmother's tricks.

Looking at the anger of Lu Qingrong and his wife, it seemed as if they were unable to express themselves, and it didn't seem like they were lying.

It is very likely that he was cheated by Lu Shao and his wife.

If what the two said is true, it means that the entire Lu family has now sided with Lu Shao and his wife.

He was very optimistic about Lu Shao, and naturally hoped that he would not be suppressed and restrained by his biological father and stepmother.

The nobleman he relied on hated foolish filial people the most.

He doesn't like such people either.

Now that’s a real surprise.
