The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Yu Ruyue's fantasy was completely shattered by this voice. She had escaped one disaster after another. She was not sure whether she could walk out of Li's house alive today.

When she first traveled through time, she was a little unconvinced. Why were others reincarnated as princesses, living in luxury and not having to worry about their livelihood, while she was the only one who suddenly traveled through time and became a peasant girl?

However, after experiencing what happened today, she suddenly felt fortunate that she traveled through time and space to become a peasant girl. Otherwise, with her mentality, she would have been killed as soon as she traveled through time and would not have lived for so many episodes.

Qin Wanrou was also speechless. Why were there so many things going on today? She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was indeed someone close to Concubine Hua, and the person who spoke was none other than Su Mei'er's mother, Madam Yang.

"Mammy, why can't we eat that? Could it be that someone wants to use the eldest young lady to harm the nobles present?"

Aunt Hua immediately took over the conversation and drew everyone's attention back to Qin Wanrou.

Qin Wanrou rubbed her forehead helplessly, "Tell me, why can't we eat this?"

"If you can't explain why, I'll hold you accountable!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Yang quickly knelt down and said, "Young Madam! These snails are indeed inedible. Many people have died from eating them from the river."

"And they died miserably. I heard from the old doctor that there are worms in the snail meat. If we eat it, the worms will drill into our bodies and eat all our internal organs. When we die, only an empty shell will be left, not even a complete body."

"I know that the young lady is from a wealthy family, so I can understand her ignorance. But it's really careless of you to serve something meant for livestock to these nobles."

Everyone present was a little panicked when they heard this. Some of them even ran to the side without paying attention to their image, scratched their throats with their hands and vomited.

The scene suddenly became chaotic. After all, no one wanted to die without a complete body.

Qin Wanrou's heart skipped a beat, but she immediately called the people around her to comfort the guests.

"Don't panic, everyone. Trust me! I can assure you that the food on this table is absolutely free of poison and insects!"

"I've been eating this snail for several days and haven't experienced any symptoms. There's a court doctor nearby. If you don't believe me, you can ask him to take my pulse!"

But just as those people were slowly settling down, a man dressed as a scholar suddenly stood out from the crowd. "If I'm guessing correctly, this pointed snail was also made by that peasant girl. She herself has never been to school and is only interested in making money. She doesn't know anything at all. But my father is a doctor. He has clearly stated that eating these pointed snails in the river will make you sick, and there is no medicine to cure it."

Qin Wanrou knew where that person came from and immediately became suspicious.

At this time, Yu Ruyue came out and explained, "There is indeed a kind of sharp snail in the river that cannot be eaten!"

Nanny Yang didn't expect Yu Ruyue to be so stupid. She couldn't wait to say, "Madam! She's admitted it, so don't be so stubborn. Think about how to give everyone an explanation."

Although the people below did not make a fuss, they all looked at Qin Wanrou at the top with disapproval, as if they were coming to call someone to account.

Yu Ruyue quickly raised her hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'm not finished yet! I said that there is indeed a type of sharp snail that cannot be eaten, but that doesn't mean that all sharp snails cannot be eaten."

"This one I caught from the river is edible!"

"Everyone, don't worry! The Li family's eldest young lady is very strict when hosting banquets. Every dish will be tested for poison by a special person, tasted by a special person, and even have a special doctor take the pulse. Only after confirming that there is no problem will the food be served!"

"Besides, the Li family's eldest young lady is pregnant now. She wouldn't joke about her own child just to hurt you. She has no reason to hurt you either."

Yu Ruyue thought she had made herself clear, but the scholar who had previously claimed his father was a doctor stood up and retorted, "How do you prove that this snail is edible?"

"Besides, who are you and who are we? Why should we trust you?"

Yu Ruyue sneered, "I see you're a scholar, so why are you being so unreasonable? Are you trying to cause trouble?"

"Besides, whoever doubts must provide evidence. A doctor on the scene has already examined the snail and found it to be fine. If you insist there's a problem, please provide proof!"

The scholar was so angry when he heard this. Last time, because of this little bitch, they were completely at odds with Moxiang Bookstore. Even the teacher scolded them angrily. Although he was not as short of money as the others, he just couldn't swallow this humiliation!

So he ignored his mother's attempts to stop him and said, "No wonder the saints always say that only women and villains are difficult to raise. I think you just have bad intentions. You're jealous that we can sit here while you can only cook in the kitchen back there!"

Yu Ruyue snorted coldly, "Confucius is the representative figure of Confucianism. He never believed in the idea of men being superior to women. Yet, you clueless scholars have interpreted it this way. I feel so sorry for your mother and your wife. They worked so hard to support your education, but you didn't understand anything. But you also despise the person who gave birth to you. This is simply unfilial!"

The man was so angry that he was shaking all over. His face flushed red as he looked at Yu Ruyue, "How can you, a lowly peasant like you, be worthy of mentioning Confucius?"

"I……"

"That's enough!" Just as the man was about to speak out, a white-bearded old man at the first table on the right stopped him, saying, "Don't you think this is embarrassing enough? Sit down quickly."

The man was very unconvinced, "Dean Lin! It was clearly this peasant who spoke so arrogantly, and a woman actually dared to discuss Confucianism with me? It's a joke!"

Yu Ruyue was really excited when she heard this. She rolled up her sleeves, pinched her waist and said, "Alright! Since you're not convinced, then I'll argue with you!"

"Just considering what happened today, I think you're even harder to raise than that villain and that woman. Look, your mother raised you for so many years, and you're still shaking her hand. That's unfilial. Your dean told you not to continue, yet you're still spouting nonsense. That's disrespectful to your teachers."

"I am a weak woman from the lowest class, making a living with my own hands, yet you devalue me like a worthless person. This is so cruel of you."

"The reason you're speaking out today with those unfounded slanderous words is because back in the bookstore, a group of you scholars collectively insulted and abused me, and I successfully resisted, so you've been holding a grudge against me. Today, you're taking advantage of your status as a customer and spouting nonsense. You're extremely selfish and ungrateful. You're being unjust!"

"If you really pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, I'm afraid you will be disloyal to the court."

"Who would believe the slanderous words of someone as unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial as you!?"
