"My God, what sins has our Wen family committed to deserve this! To have such a daughter-in-law—not only is she promiscuous and unfaithful, but she's also framed my son and sent him to jail!"

"Everyone, please be the judge and help this poor old woman get justice!"

Wen's mother sat on the ground, holding a handkerchief, wiping away non-existent tears, while constantly wailing. Anyone who didn't know the situation would be fooled by the pitiful sound in her voice.

Wen Qing also started wailing:

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law. Although you are a lowly merchant's daughter, my Wen family, a scholarly family, has never looked down on you. Even when my brother passed the imperial examination, he never wronged you. How could you, how could you... because of... Waaaaah..."

In the end, it seemed as if he found it very difficult to talk about, and couldn't continue.

The onlookers stared at them with a mixture of curiosity and gossip.

The way they looked at Fu Yuqin and Wu Manting was filled with a hint of undisguised suspicion.

Although Fu Yuqin was furious, she was, after all, the legitimate daughter of Fu Daru, and was always well-educated and reasonable. She really didn't know how to deal with this kind of shameless person who was turning black into white and throwing a tantrum.

Trembling with anger, she pointed at the mother and daughter and uttered the harshest words she could muster:

"You are absolutely shameless! I...I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wen's mother waved her hands again and started throwing a tantrum:

"Shameless! It's your Yu family that's shameless, and it's that promiscuous daughter your Yu family raised!"

Wu Manting, who had been supporting Fu Yuqin with concern, suddenly saw their conversation becoming increasingly absurd and shouted sternly:

"Don't spout nonsense here. If you dare to make false accusations again, I will..."

Wen's mother, however, braced herself on the ground and suddenly got up, looking as if she were in unbearable pain, and continued to sob:

"What do you intend to do? Your Yu family is the most shameless of all. You weren't satisfied with framing my son before, and now you want to frame this old woman like me and send her to jail too!"

Before Wen's mother and Wu Manting could react, she began to cry loudly to the onlookers:

"Neighbors, don't be fooled by the Yu family's hypocritical facade! They are utterly shameless. Not only do they indulge their daughter's infidelity, but after we discovered she was having an affair and had a child out of wedlock, they framed my son and sent him to prison to avoid being exposed! My poor son, how could he have married such a vicious and despicable woman!"

"I only agreed to let my son marry her because I felt sorry for her and knew she was so devoted to him. If I had known then that he was marrying such a slut, a whore, and a jinx, I would never have agreed to let her into the family!"

"My son, my poor son, what did you do in your past life to deserve such a wretched child!"

"Waaaaah~~~ Everyone, please help me judge this! I want justice for my son!"

Wen Qing also glared angrily at Fu Yuqin and Wu Manting:

"Bring Yu Shuyan out. What's wrong? Did you do something wrong and now you're too ashamed to show your face? Make her come out and give us an explanation!"

The onlookers watched as they cried with such genuine emotion and conviction.

If you were skeptical at first, now you're almost completely convinced!

"My God, is that really true? If so, the Yu family is truly shameless!"

"I don't think it's fake. Otherwise, what family would be willing to treat their own grandson like this!"

"That's true. Could it be that Yu Shuyan is really so fickle, promiscuous, and vicious?"

"You know what, it's actually quite possible!"

······

Hearing the whispers and pointing fingers around her, Wen's mother became even more smug:

Hmph, I'll have to step in.

If the Yu family wants to preserve their reputation and continue to make a living in Lingjin City, then they must do so.

They had no choice but to obediently let her do as she pleased.

When the time comes, have Yu Shuyan go to the yamen and admit that she framed Wen Lang, and then obediently bring Wen Lang back.

They could even use this as an excuse to see how shameless the Yu family would be to come to the Wen family to ask for a dowry.

Wen Lang's career was secured, and since he no longer had the merchant's wife, he could marry a noblewoman from a high-ranking family.

Wouldn't the Wen family's future be one of meteoric rise?

The more she thought about it, the more pleased Wen's mother became.

The smugness in his eyes was almost overflowing:

"Bring Yu Shuyan out. Don't think you can get away with it by hiding. You can't escape such a shameful thing by hiding!"

Wen Qing also chimed in, feeling wronged:

"That's right, let Yu Shuyan come out and confront us!"

Inside the carriage, Yu Moyan's face was extremely grim:

"How could this mother and daughter be so vicious? Shuyan, how have you endured them all these years?"

A bitter smile flickered across Yu Shuyan's lips:

Their wickedness goes far beyond that.

If her brother knew that they had taken the lives of their entire family, he would understand what utter wickedness truly meant!

Yu Moyan noticed her bitterness and said coldly:

"Stay here and don't get out of the car. Big Brother will handle things here."

Clearly, they were worried that Yu Shuyan would be hurt by the mother and daughter again.

"Brother, wait a minute!"

Yu Shuyan spoke up, stopping Yu Moyan, who was about to lift the carriage curtain and get out.

Yu Moyan turned around and looked at Yu Shuyan with a questioning gaze.

Yu Shuyan's lips curled up slightly:

"Brother, this kind of scoundrel and vulgar woman is not someone you can handle. After all, when a scholar encounters a soldier, reason is useless!"

Yu Moyan frowned involuntarily, clearly agreeing that Yu Shuyan was right.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shuyan encountered the mother and daughter again, which stirred up unpleasant memories, causing her to hesitate.

Yu Shuyan's smile didn't reach her eyes:

"Brother, trust me, I can handle this!"

~~~~~

Fu Yuqin was so angry that she clutched her chest and her face turned pale.

If it weren't for Wu Manting holding her tightly, she probably wouldn't even be able to stand up right now.

Wen's mother was even more pleased:

"Bring Yu Shuyan out! Your Yu family is heartless, unjust, and utterly despicable, but my Wen family is a family of scholars. As long as she admits that she committed the disgraceful act first and then framed my son, and then kneels down to sincerely apologize to my son, we will certainly not stoop to your level!"

Wen Qing also concealed the smugness in her eyes, feigning a coy and ladylike demeanor:

"Of course, my brother was wronged and Yu Shuyan cheated on him for so long, so you still have to compensate the Wen family for their losses!"

"Oh, I'd like to know, what kind of compensation do you want?"

Yu Shuyan's cold, mocking voice suddenly came from behind her!
