As soon as Xu Qingye came out of Tang's house, Xu Wencheng came forward and pulled him home.

"Brother, please come back with me. My sister-in-law seems to have been bullied by the Lin family."

Xu Qingye looked at him.

"what happened?"

As Xu Wencheng walked, he said, "Mr. Lin came to see my sister-in-law this morning. They met at Wangchun Tower to talk. When my sister-in-law came out of the teahouse, she looked unhappy. I thought Mr. Lin must have said something to her."

Xu Qingye's face turned cold and he quickened his pace.

When I got home, I only saw Jiang and Xu Yongwang.

"Mom, where's Tang'er?"

"Yes, mother." Xu Wencheng also asked, "Where is my sister-in-law?"

"You're finally back." Jiang looked at Xu Qingye and said, "Someone came from Cile Town, saying that there was an emergency in the town, and Tang'er went back with him. Oh, and there's one more thing. Shunzi from next door came home and said that Young Master Yang will be free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"I see."

After Xu Qingye finished speaking, he handed the book in his hand to Xu Wencheng, turned around and walked out.

"Qingye, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Cile Town and will be back with Tang'er tomorrow."

……

After thanking Zhu Deming, Song Yuntang led several brothers from the yamen and returned to Cile Town in a grand manner.

Two hours on the road.

Because we spent quite a bit of time in the county town, it was already 2 p.m. when we arrived.

No one had eaten lunch, and Song Yuntang didn't want to ask everyone to follow her to the Lin family to find a place to fight while they were hungry, so she took everyone to Huajianzui first. It was not lunchtime, and everyone in the shop was free.

Song Yuntang ordered the people in the kitchen to kill chickens and cut meat, and asked them to prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain the yamen runners.

Xu Liangping found an opportunity to come to Song Yuntang.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that your shop on Yang Street was smashed. Do you want to find some people to help?"

Song Yuntang shook his head and said, "These officials are enough."

Xu Liangping glanced in the direction of the yamen runners who were drinking and eating meat, then turned to look at her.

"Such a big thing happened, didn't my cousin come back with my sister-in-law?"

Song Yuntang pulled up a smile.

"He doesn't know yet. I didn't tell him."

She didn't know what was wrong. She was very angry when she heard what Lin Hongshen mentioned to her in the morning.

Even Xu Qingye was affected.

However, she had already borrowed people from the government office to deal with what happened in Cile Town, so she could handle it herself and there was no need to delay his studies.

Xu Liangping scratched his head.

"Okay, sister-in-law, as long as you have a plan in mind, if you need someone to support you one day, no one in our village will sit idly by."

Song Yuntang nodded, "I know, thank you Liangping."

After eating and drinking, everyone set off for the Lin Mansion.

As soon as the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion opened the door, the yamen runners rushed into the Lin family with an official look on their face.

It was exactly the same scene as the last time I came to mention Lin Zhaozhao!

The servants were all shocked and didn't dare to stop him.

Did the young lady do something wrong again?

Thinking of Lin Zhaozhao, everyone had an expression that was hard to describe. When Miss Yuntang was in the Lin family, how could she have caused so many troubles?

After the yamen runners entered the Lin Mansion, they went straight to Lin Zhaozhao's yard as if they were familiar with the route.

When Zhuang Wenyin got the news, she first led the maids and old women to the outside of Lin Zhaozhao's courtyard and stopped them.

"Sir, wasn't our Zhao Zhao released from prison? Why are you here again?"

Luo Gang looked at her and said, "Lin Zhaozhao is suspected of damaging other people's property. The master ordered us to either pay the price or follow us back to the county jail."

Zhuang Wenyin looked puzzled.

"Zhao Zhao damaged other people's property? How is that possible? She has been behaving herself properly these days. There's really no need for the officials to come all this way."

"After Lin Zhaozhao used coercion and bribery to buy the Ruyi Inn, she destroyed my shop. Is this what Madam Lin meant by being honest and upright?"

Song Yuntang walked out from among the yamen runners and unfolded the contract he had signed with Yuan Jingui, trying to make it visible to everyone.

"This is the contract I signed with Shopkeeper Yuan when I rented the shop. I rented the shop according to the formal regulations. Logically, even if Lin Zhaozhao bought it, I would be her tenant. I haven't defaulted on the rent, and I haven't damaged anything in her shop. Why did she destroy my shop?"

Is it just because she has family members willing to stand up for her?

Thinking of the original owner and her own past life, she suddenly felt a little aggrieved when she said this.

Others have parents and family members who love them.

She is the only one who has been bearing it alone.

She couldn't rely on her natal family, and she didn't want to rely too much on her husband's family. Just as Lin Hongshen said, it was common for a man in Daxia to have three wives and four concubines if he achieved some success.

Xu Qingye grew up here, and some of his ideas are deeply ingrained in him. She doesn't think she can change him.

Nothing will change now, but who knows what will happen in the future?

She could only guard her heart first and leave room for advancement and retreat.

Mrs. Lin clutched her handkerchief and stepped forward with a wry smile. "So it's Tang'er who's here. This is ultimately our own business. Why are you bothering the officials?"

As she spoke, she was about to step forward and hold Song Yuntang's hand.

This girl is now really powerful and can easily ask the officials in the county government to work for her.

Don't know how she did it.

Zhao Zhao was the same. After she came back, she said she wanted to learn how to do business. She also thought that her family had lost several thousand taels of silver because of her some time ago. It would be a good thing if she could put her heart on the right path, so she did not object.

Who knew that he was actually causing trouble for her behind her back.

Song Yuntang moved sideways to avoid her touch.

"I'm not a member of the Lin family, so this isn't considered 'my family's business.'" She said with a somewhat cold expression, "I told Madam Lin to take care of her children. If they dare to provoke me again, I won't let them off easily. It seems Madam Lin didn't take my words to heart."

Zhuang Wenyin leaned close to her and whispered, "Tang'er, do you really have to make this so embarrassing? If you bring the official home today, what will people around here say about our family if they see you?"

Song Yuntang glanced at her indifferently.

"Lin Zhaozhao doesn't even care about her reputation, so why should Madam Lin care about this? Besides, she was the one who made the mistake first. I came here today just to ask Madam Lin, will you accept the compensation for destroying my shop?"

Seeing that Song Yuntang was acting in a businesslike manner, Zhuang Wenyin was a little confused about what she was thinking.

She wasn't this aggressive before.

She walked up and knocked on Lin Zhaozhao's door. "Zhaozhao, come out. Mother has something to ask you."

When Lin Zhaozhao heard that the yamen runners were coming to her door, she was so scared that she hid in the yard and dared not go out, for fear that they would arrest her.

Now that Zhuang Wenyin knocked on the door, she had no choice but to come out.

Lin Zhaozhao opened the gate and shrugged.

"mother."

Zhuang Wenyin looked at her and asked, "Did you smash Tang'er's shop?"
