As Lu Zilin listened to the filthy curses, a fierce hatred flashed in his eyes.

He grabbed a knife from inside the room and was about to rush outside. But Lu Xumu pulled him back, asking, "What are you doing?"

With red eyes, Lu Zilin said angrily, "I'm going to kill those people. If they hadn't taken the medicine my sister-in-law gave them, how would they have survived?"

They survived only because of their sister-in-law's medicine, yet now they're cursing her with such foul language. What's the difference between this and blaming someone who's already ungrateful? These ungrateful people shouldn't have had their lives saved in the first place.

As he spoke, he struggled to run outside again.

Lu Xumu angrily dragged him to the ground and yelled at him, "What's the use of you killing them? This is obviously a scheme set up by someone with ulterior motives, just to ruin your sister-in-law's reputation."

"What good will it do you to run out and kill those people now, except to ruin all our efforts?"

Lu Xumu grew angrier as he spoke, "I used to say you'd improved. Now it seems you haven't improved at all, and you're getting dumber. If you're still this stupid, then don't come out with me."

"You'd be better off going back to the village to farm, so you don't end up being a burden to your brother and sister-in-law instead of helping them."

After being scolded by his third brother, Lu Xumu gradually calmed down.

Actually, he wasn't without suspicion that it was a scheme set up by someone with ulterior motives to ruin his sister-in-law's reputation.

He was just too angry.

These people are all people who have truly benefited from Ji Yunshuang's kindness. How could they doubt her and curse her with foul language just because they heard a few rumors?

He was so angry that he acted impulsively.

Now that he's calmed down, a wave of fear washes over him.

Fortunately, his third brother stopped him. If it weren't for his third brother stopping him, all their efforts over the past few days would have been ruined by him.

He and his third brother had gone through so much, worked so hard for so long, and finally gained a foothold in the capital, all so that they could use their business as a cover to hide in the shadows and gather more information. Could they help their sister-in-law when it really matters?

Although Ji Yunshuang has always been too amazing.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't keep up with her. So far, they haven't been able to help her at all.

But all of this is the result of the collective efforts of so many of them.

Besides, they weren't able to help their sister-in-law before, but they might be able to in the future.

If he couldn't hold back today, and they were exposed, they might not be able to help in any way in the future.

He stood up and apologized to Lu Xumu, saying, "Third Brother, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have ruined everything today. I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again."

Seeing that his younger brother sincerely admitted his mistake, Lu Xumu didn't make things difficult for him anymore. However, his expression was still not very good.

He gave him a disapproving look and said, "You know that much. You're not young anymore, so don't be so impulsive in the future."

“It was my fault this time, Third Brother, don’t be angry.” Lu Zilin poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying, “Third Brother, those rumors outside were spread by that dog emperor, right? He was afraid that Sister-in-law would threaten his position, so he spread those rumors to damage Sister-in-law’s image in the eyes of the people.”

Lu Xumu took the tea, took a sip, and said with a hint of satisfaction, "You've finally shown some intelligence this time, and you've learned to use your brain."

Lu Zilin ignored whether his brother was being sarcastic or praising him, and anxiously asked, "So what do we do now? How can we help my sister-in-law? How can we stop those rumors from spreading?"

Lu Xumu frowned and said, "I can't think of any solution right now. Although we've established a foothold in the capital through our business, we don't have the ability to compete with that enormous force."

The rumors spread so quickly, and new evidence kept emerging, that even those who were initially skeptical completely believed the absurd rumors. Clearly, someone was constantly stirring things up behind the scenes.

The ability to manipulate public opinion throughout the capital and spread it in all directions was clearly the work of Emperor Gong of Zhou.

Their current strength is no match for Emperor Gong of Zhou.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's send a message to my sister-in-law first and tell her what's going on here."

Lu Zilin nodded in agreement and said, "Okay! I'll go arrange it right away."

Lu Xumu, however, was still worried and said, "You stay in the shop, I'll make the arrangements. That way you won't act impulsively and get into a conflict with someone."

Lu Zilin wanted to say that he knew he was wrong and wouldn't act impulsively again. But thinking that sending a message to his sister-in-law was an important matter, it would be safer for his third brother to go, so he said, "Then go quickly and send the message from here to my brother and sister-in-law as soon as possible."

Lu Xumu nodded, took out paper and pen and quickly wrote a letter. Then, holding the letter, he strode out of the shop.

They needed to send a message to Ji Yunshuang, but it would be too slow for his men to travel from the capital to Qiongdu.

Pass the message to Chen Wu and ask him to find a way to deliver the letter to Ji Yunshuang; it might be faster than sending someone from the capital.

It has to be said that he made the right move.

After the merit tree in the space had a huge impact on the animals in the space, Ji Yunshuang easily trained a large number of carrier pigeons.

To facilitate communication, she had a batch of carrier pigeons sent back and distributed to various locations. In this way, for any urgent matters, messages could be delivered by pigeons, which was much faster than sending messages by hand.

As Ji Yunshuang's confidant, Chen Wu was naturally sent pigeons by Ji Yunshuang.

After Lu Xumu had someone deliver the letter to Chen Wu, Chen Wu immediately sent a pigeon to deliver the letter to Ji Yunshuang.

In Qiongdu, Ji Yunshuang was inspecting the model room where the furniture had been arranged.

The workers have already placed all the furniture in the designated locations according to the blueprints.

Although these pieces of furniture have a simple design, they are made using mortise and tenon joints. Moreover, the craftsmen are highly skilled, and the furniture is exceptionally well-made.

Ji Yunshuang was very satisfied.

She looked at the furniture in the house, picked out some bonsai trees from the space, and placed them in suitable locations.

It's probably because the plants she transplanted into the yard were all from black soil, and these plants have stronger growth capabilities than ordinary plants.

The plants transplanted into the yard did not die, and the roses did not wither.

At this moment, the whole house is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

The officials who came along looked at the magnificent sea of ​​flowers in the courtyard, and then at the special furniture and the newly added unique bonsai in the house. They felt as if they had entered a fairyland.

In addition to placing bonsai trees in the room, Ji Yunshuang also placed dolls, sculptures and other decorative items in suitable places to enhance the atmosphere.

With this arrangement, the room feels much warmer.

The officials who came with Ji Yunshuang all felt that this was their dream house.
