A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

After hearing Qian Ruoling's question, Wen Yanyu also looked at Ye Qingxue.

Today, Ye Qingxue suddenly called Wen Yanyu in a hurry, asking him to lead the way to the Qian family's rouge shop.

Ye Qingxue smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to come and see. As a friend, I don't even know where your rouge shop is, how can that be?"

She hadn't prepared a reason beforehand, so she made one up on the spot, hoping they wouldn't suspect anything.

But clearly, Wen Yanyu was not someone who could be easily fooled.

He turned to look at Ye Qingxue, lost in thought.

Just now, in the new house, Ye Qingxue's hurried and flustered manner didn't seem like she suddenly wanted to come and see it.

Qian Ruoling was unaware of what had happened before and didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Qingxue's words, so she nodded slightly.

"Thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, my rouge shop would have suffered a huge loss."

Ye Qingxue shook her head: "It's nothing, we're all friends, it's just a small favor."

Qian Ruoling then asked, "By the way, how did Young Master Ye know that the things on that woman's face today were fake?"

Ye Qingxue paused for a moment: "I've read some books and know a little about some strange disguise methods. Her disguise today was particularly crude, so I could tell at a glance."

Qian Ruoling's eyes revealed admiration: "Young Master Ye is truly knowledgeable and well-traveled."

Ye Qingxue quickly shook her head: "By the way, Miss Qian, what are your thoughts on today's matter?"

The topic suddenly changed, and Qian Ruoling's eyes dimmed: "Sigh, actually I have a guess in my heart, but I dare not think about it in detail. I'm afraid it really is that person."

Seeing her like this, Ye Qingxue's eyes flickered slightly: "Is he... your son-in-law?"

Qian Ruoling lowered her head and remained silent.

That's it.

Ye Qingxue had already met this eldest son-in-law of the Qian family from the shopkeeper at the clothing store last time.

A son-in-law who acts lawlessly because of the young lady's favor.

She also suspected that he was behind it, but since she had never met him, she couldn't make a conclusion.

"Could you tell me about your eldest sister and brother-in-law?" Ye Qingxue asked directly, as she had questions in her mind.

Qian Ruoling pursed her lips, seemingly unsure whether she should tell anyone about it.

It wasn't that she felt Ye Qingxue was an outsider, but rather that this matter was essentially her older sister's family affair...

Seeing her predicament, Ye Qingxue quickly said, "Second Miss, it's alright, if you're having trouble..."

"Second Sister!" Before Ye Qingxue could finish speaking, a clear voice came from the stairwell.

Ye Qingxue and the others on the third floor turned to look at the same time.

Then Qian Ruofeng came running up, lifting her skirt.

"Young Master Ye, Young Master Wen! You're here too!"

After greeting them, Qian Ruofeng hurriedly brought over a chair and sat down. She said to her second sister, "Second sister, I heard that something happened to the shop, so I rushed over from home immediately. Luckily, when I got here, I found out that someone had helped us."

"Second sister, who helped us? How are you? Are you hurt?"

Qian Ruoling smiled helplessly at her, shook her head, and raised her head towards Ye Qingxue: "I'm fine. Look, it was Young Master Ye who helped us today."

Qian Ruofeng's eyes widened as he looked at Ye Qingxue.

Ye Qingxue tilted her head, winked at her, and smiled.

"Young Master Ye, you are so kind! You have saved us again!"

Qian Ruofeng exclaimed excitedly as he reached out and hugged Ye Qingxue's neck.

Ye Qingxue chuckled and patted her back: "What do you mean, 'again'?"

"When you acted as a little hero at your birthday party, you saved the entire Qingshui County, which meant you saved us!"

Qian Ruofeng's arms tightened around Ye Qingxue, almost pressing against her body.

"How rude! Ruofeng, how can you treat Young Master Ye like this? If you ruin his reputation, how can you bear the consequences?"

Only after Qian Ruoling said that Ye Qingxue realized something was wrong.

Oh dear, I'm still a man.

Looking up at Wen Yanyu, she saw him staring at her with a deep gaze, something unreadable passing through his eyes.

Qian Ruofeng realized something was wrong and quickly withdrew his hand, saying, "I'm sorry, I was just too excited."

Ye Qingxue shook her head at her: "It's okay, Ruofeng is still young, I don't mind."

Qian Ruoling glared at Qian Ruofeng: "You'll be sorry when we get home."

Qian Ruofeng pursed her lips and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, what were you guys talking about just now?"

Ye Qingxue replied, "We suspect that today's incident was caused by your son-in-law. I wanted to ask him about the situation, but I just wanted to know, not necessarily. If you're in a difficult position, you don't have to tell me."

Qian Ruofeng stared wide-eyed at Qian Ruoling: "Second sister, I knew it was my brother-in-law again! When my eldest sister heard about this this morning, she was furious and dragged him to his room by the ear."

Qian Ruoling sighed: "It's always like this. My older sister gets angry, my brother-in-law apologizes, and then they make up again."

Qian Ruofeng's expression also turned troubled, and he turned to Ye Qingxue: "Since Young Master Ye has helped us, we have nothing to hide from you."

As she spoke, she tugged at Qian Ruoling's sleeve: "Second sister, maybe if we talk to Young Master Ye, she can help us?"

Qian Ruoling glanced at her third sister, then at Ye Qingxue, and smiled, "That's true, there's no harm in saying it."

"It's like this, my eldest sister and brother-in-law met at a temple fair..."

Next, Qian Ruoling began to tell the story of how Qian Ruoyao, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, met Meng Dahu.

At their first meeting at the temple fair, Qian Ruoyao fell in love with Meng Dahu at first sight and "married" him.

Meng Dahu was originally very obedient, always following orders. If Qian Ruoyao said to go east, he would never dare to go west.

For a time, Meng Dahu was very much liked by the old lady, who rewarded him with a lot of money.

After that, the Qian family fell into chaos.

It started in the young lady's courtyard, where servants frequently plotted against each other.

After investigation, it was discovered that all those malicious individuals were relatives invited to Meng Dahu's home.

Then he started lying, pretending to go to the shop to help out but actually going to gamble.

After being discovered by her older sister, she was forced to kneel for three days and three nights without uttering a sound.

Recently, he started investing in businesses again, but failed many times. The old lady had no choice but to give him two shops to manage, and the same thing happened with Meng Ergou again.

Qian Ruoling took the account book back to confront him. Meng Dahu cried and knelt down, saying that he had misjudged people, which led to this result.

Ye Qingxue frowned upon hearing this: "Then what is the reason for this incident?"

Qian Ruofeng frowned and said with disgust, "Meng Dahu is extremely petty and vindictive. He smiles on the surface, but he holds grudges in his heart. Last time I accidentally dirtied his new shoes, so I bought him a new pair to compensate him. The next day, all my shoes were covered in shoe prints!"

"It makes me angry just thinking about it!"

Qian Ruofeng's mouth was puffed up with anger.

After listening, Wen Yanyu pondered for a moment and then said, "He must be relying on the young lady's favor to dare to act so lawlessly. Miss Qian Ruoyao..." He hesitated for a moment.

Qian Ruofeng shook his head and sighed: "There's nothing we can do. Our eldest sister is the most soft-hearted and loyal among us. Meng Dahu knows too well how to exploit her kindness, which is why she forgives him time and time again."

I really want him to get the hell out of here!

Qian Ruoling glanced at her: "Don't be like that. He's still your brother-in-law no matter what."

Qian Ruofeng's eyes drooped: "Waaah, what should we do? If this keeps up, I won't be able to stay in our house any longer!"

Ye Qingxue remained silent, but nodded thoughtfully to the side.

It seems that Meng Dahu is the real trouble for the Qian family.
