The owner of the seasoning shop, whose surname was Zhang, looked at the so-called MSG that Jiang Yutong took out with disdain and asked, "What do you want us to sell on your behalf?"

Jiang Yutong explained, "This can enhance the flavor of food. I extracted it from wheat myself. I can give it a try now."

When Boss Zhang heard that it was Jiang Yutong who withdrew it himself, he looked at Jiang Yutong and the two little beggars following behind Jiang Yutong. Aren't these orphans who hang around here every day? He was even more unconvinced.

He said impatiently, "You stinky beggar, get out of here and don't delay my business. You are crazy about money, right? You don't know what you have and you want to cheat me out of a penny."

Jiang Yutong was upset when she saw that Boss Zhang didn't believe her and had a very bad attitude. If she had doubts about something, she could explain it patiently, but she couldn't tolerate being called a liar.

"Boss Zhang, even if the deal doesn't go through, there's still friendship. Why bother with hurtful words? I understand your inability to accept new things, because some people are just short-sighted."

"Who are you calling short-sighted, you liar."

This shop is the largest seasoning shop in Yinbai County. I originally thought that we could have a pleasant cooperation, but I didn’t expect such a scene to happen.

"Forget it, there are other houses besides yours, let's just go."

At this time, a voice sounded, "Husband, what happened?"

Boss Zhang pushed Jiang Yutong aside and approached enthusiastically, "Madam, what brings you here? It's just a small matter. A swindler tried to cheat me out of my money with some unknown thing."

"Oh, who was it, Zhengqing? Isn't this your ex-wife who you divorced?"

A familiar voice sounded, and Jiang Yutong saw Ning Zhengqing standing at the door with two women who looked very similar.

One of them is Ye Xiujun. It turns out that this store belongs to Ye Xiujun's brother-in-law. Jiang Yutong has no intention of cooperating with her anymore.

Ning Zhengqing cleared his throat and said, "Don't talk about the past anymore. It was my parents' order back then. It's a pity that they were short-sighted and made the wrong choice."

Jiang Yutong originally had important things to do and didn't want to get entangled any more, but she didn't expect that Ning Zhengqing, this shameless man, could say such words.

"Ning Zhengqing, why didn't you say you had chosen the wrong person when you used my money? How could a scholar like you be so shameless?"

Ning Zhengqing gritted his teeth and said, "It's unreasonable."

The eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Xiuju, quietly asked her sister beside her, "Is this Zhengqing's ex-wife?"

Ye Xiujun nodded, "I don't know how he became a liar. Fortunately, my brother-in-law has a sharp eye."

Boss Zhang, a businessman, held a low position in the Ye family. Now, receiving praise from Master Ye's favorite daughter, Ye Xiujun, he smiled flatteringly, "Of course, these eyes of mine have been through countless battles."

Ye Xiujun was still brooding over the fact that Jiang Yutong had humiliated her last time. Today was a rare opportunity, and she wanted to teach Jiang Yutong a lesson.

She pinched her handkerchief and covered her nose. "Jiang Yutong, you and Zhengqing had a good time together. Why are you getting worse and worse now? You're embarrassing yourself everywhere and even hanging out with two little beggars."

He grabbed a handful of MSG and said, "You're making this kind of stuff and trying to cheat people out of money. It's really immoral and shameful."

Jiang Yutong squeezed Ye Xiujun's hand and wailed. "I didn't steal or rob, so how could I be considered a disgrace? If you want to talk about immorality and shame, then you are no match for Miss Ye. Ning Zhengqing has a wife, but you wrote letters to him to seduce him. You two adulterers, you framed your wife, and a lady like you was willing to be his mistress. You are truly a disgrace to all women in the world."

Jiang Yutong risked her life. "My fellow villagers, I am the ex-wife of Ning Zhengqing, a scholar from Shangyuan Village. I used the money earned from embroidery to help Ning Zhengqing pass the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, the next day, he and his mother-in-law slandered me and wanted to send me to jail. I fought tooth and nail to get a divorce. And Ye Xiujun, the second daughter of the Ye family, exchanged letters with Ning Zhengqing during our marriage, expressing her deep longing for him."

"I'm unlucky enough to have met a modern-day Chen Shimei. Now I'm living on my own two hands, yet I'm still being insulted."

After saying that, she started to cry.

There were already many people gathered around to watch the fun. Everyone knew Ning Zhengqing, who had passed the imperial examination not long ago. Everyone was even more familiar with Master Ye, who was a famous teacher in Yinbai County. Master Ye and the county magistrate were related.

Ning Zhengqing and Ye Xiujun were often seen together, and it turned out that Ning Xiucai was married.

"How pitiful! A husband who has achieved success and fame yet abandons his wife is truly unbelievable for a scholar."

"The second daughter of the Ye family is arrogant and domineering. It turns out she has set her sights on a married man. How could the Ye family be willing to have Miss Ye as a concubine? They must have devised a plan to bring disgrace upon the ex-wife. Imprisonment is the least of her worries. The worst..."

The person who said this made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"This...this is too tragic."

The discussion continued, Ning Zhengqing's face flushed and his neck thickened. Ye Xiujun was also embarrassed and angry, "Jiang Yutong, you are talking nonsense."

Jiang Yutong said in a clear voice: "Ninglang, I think about you day and night. I have told my parents about my feelings. I hope you will come to propose marriage as soon as possible. Xiyun."

"Miss Ye won't forget these, right?"

The private letter Ye Xiujun wrote to Ning Zhengqing was read out in public. It was like being stripped naked in front of everyone. She didn't care about the etiquette of a lady and reached out to slap Jiang Yutong.

Jiang Yutong grabbed Ye Xiujun's palm and said with a half-smile, "Miss Ye, why are you so angry? A gentleman should be brave enough to take responsibility for his actions."

Ning Zhengqing saw Ye Xiujun being humiliated and rushed to save her. He grabbed Jiang Yutong's hand, which was holding Ye Xiujun's. "Jiang Yutong, that's enough. Are you done yet?"

Jiang Yutong let go of Ye Xiujun and raised his other hand to give Ning Zhengqing a firm slap. "You hypocritical hypocrite, what qualifications do you have to lecture me? If you pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, it will be a misfortune for the people of the world."

Ning Zhengqing had never been insulted like this before. He covered his face in disbelief, "Jiang Yutong, you bitch."

Jiang Yutong's hand was released, and she slapped Ning Zhengqing hard again, "Since I'm a shrew, I'll let you know what a shrew looks like."

Not satisfied yet, he kicked me directly.

Some in the crowd cheered, while others were worried about Jiang Yutong.

"Forget it, let the past be the past. The Ye family is not to be trifled with."

"You'd better leave quickly. The police will be here soon. How can a weak woman like you be their opponent?"

Seeing Ning Zhengqing being beaten, Ye Xiujun stepped forward with a handkerchief, distressed, "Ning Lang, how are you?"

In the end, it was the eldest daughter of the Ye family who pulled her younger sister aside and said to Jiang Yutong, "What happened is done. Go away. If you report it to the police, you will suffer no good."

Jiang Yutong still had important things to do. Ning Zhengqing was a scholar now after all, and she couldn't teach him a lesson openly at the moment, so she could only give up.

Jiang Yutong held Yu Xueyi and Yu Xuehuan's hands and prepared to leave the crowd.
