Zhu Dalan spoke aggressively and was about to go find Qin Yu.

Wu Yong immediately stopped him. "You can't go, you can't go!"

Zhu Dalan was puzzled: "Why can't we go? This is outrageous! She actually hurt you! I'm going to the authorities to report her. Is she trying to kill me?!"

Wu Yong dared not tell her the truth.

How could he possibly know what kind of person Qin Yu was!

After he was imprisoned in the local temple, Wang Erma told him everything that had happened before.

He also learned that Qin Yu was not someone to be trifled with, and that his methods were exceptionally ruthless.

If it weren't for their desperate pleas, they would probably have died a gruesome death.

He was also angry and cursed Wang Erma for not telling him in time.

If I had told him in time, maybe I wouldn't have gone after that killer!

Wang Erma said irritably that no one would believe him if he told them!

Wu Yong knew that blaming was useless; if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have believed it!

Now they are both suffering terribly.

He now realized that Qin Yu was not a weak woman at all, but someone they couldn't afford to offend!

Thinking about this, he was even grateful that he had survived!

Faced with Zhu Dalan's incessant cursing, he dared not utter a single word of the truth.

Wu Yong knew he couldn't tell the truth, and after thinking about it, he realized he was at too much of a disadvantage, so he simply threw the blame on Wu Yong!

"That woman was having an affair with a man at the local temple when Wang Erma and I discovered it. She tried to kill us to silence us, but we couldn't fight back and were beaten by her man!"

In just a few words, what was originally intended to humiliate Qin Yu was transformed into the fact that Qin Yu had been caught by the two of them having a secret rendezvous with a man.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Dalan immediately became interested.

"I knew it, this woman is a little slut!"

Zhu Dalan seemed to have discovered something remarkable.

"No way! I'm going to report her right now. I want her drowned in the pond. Let's see how arrogant she can be then!"

When Wu Yong heard that Zhu Dalan was going to file a complaint, he was so frightened that he immediately stopped her.

"No, you can't go and complain!"

"Why? This little bitch did something like this; she deserves to be drowned. The authorities should lock her up!"

Zhu Dalan didn't understand and wished she could be locked up right now, or that her hypocrisy would be exposed.

Wu Yong felt guilty and afraid that she would really report him, so he thought about it.

"My wife, think about it. If you go and complain, what if Qin Yu's lover comes after me for revenge? I don't care, but what if something really happens to you and the child?"

Zhu Dalan was stunned for a moment.

"Even Wang Erma and I, two grown men, can't beat him, let alone you! We can't go and report him to the village chief!"

Wu Yong didn't dare to say that they were pecked in the eyes by birds and injured by Qin Yu, a weak woman. Who would believe such a thing if they told others!

"Then what should we do? Just let that little bitch go?" Zhu Dalan was clearly unconvinced, and the thought of Qin Yu's aloof and arrogant demeanor made her even angrier.

They finally found evidence of her crimes, but they couldn't get anything out of her.

"Who says there's no way? I have a way!" Zhu Dalan had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.

He said, "If she won't sue, then she won't. This little bitch's reputation is ruined. I'll just sit here and wait until I catch them in the act. I want to see how she tries to explain herself then!"

Qin Yu was unaware that his reputation had changed again in the mouths of several people.

At the moment, he didn't pay attention to it and was planning to start working on getting closer to the county magistrate.

After leaving Yunlaiju, I went to the inn I had rented yesterday.

After filling the two white porcelain bottles with the spiritual spring water, they waited for the guests.

She felt it wasn't appropriate for a woman like herself to get close to the magistrate, so she came up with a plan: to find the magistrate's wife!

She noticed that her hands and face, which she washed with the spiritual spring every day, became fair and radiant, especially her hands.

Every day I have to make three to five pounds of fish balls. My hands are red from beating them and my palms are raw. I thought I would have calluses.

However, she discovered that even though she washed her hands and bathed in the spiritual spring every day, her hands and face were free of any blemishes, and even the broken skin on her palms miraculously healed.

To test her idea, she would put some water in Lu's mother's basin every day.

Just as she expected, her skin became noticeably brighter.

Therefore, she guessed that the spiritual spring must have the effects of whitening and wrinkle removal.

I heard that the magistrate's wife was originally a beauty, and the magistrate and his wife were very much in love.

However, her good fortune didn't last long. Two years after giving birth, the magistrate's wife suddenly realized that her face looked very old.

His face was covered with many spots, making him look somewhat dark-skinned.

The magistrate's wife consulted renowned doctors throughout the city and tried numerous medications, but to no avail.

Fearing that the magistrate would see his appearance, he simply kept the magistrate outside, and it has been three years since he last saw him.

The magistrate frantically searched for doctors, but to no avail; he could only watch helplessly.

Qin Yu knew that no woman was immune to the desire for beauty, and she was simply taking advantage of that.

Yesterday, I found a little beggar, wrote him a letter, and had him deliver it to the entrance of the county government office.

She wasn't sure if the magistrate's wife had received it, but she could only wait. She knew that the magistrate's wife wouldn't miss even the slightest possibility.

After waiting for a long time, I heard someone knocking on my room door.

The visitor was the wet nurse of the county magistrate's wife. She stood at the door without entering and immediately saw a woman wearing a white dress and a veil.

She has a slender figure, yet she exudes an ethereal elegance.

He doesn't seem like a simple person.

Upon seeing this, the wet nurse, Zhang, curtsied.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Yu from Wuya Valley? Our magistrate's wife would like to invite you to her residence for a chat!"

"Alright!" Qin Yu had been waiting for the magistrate's wife, so he naturally didn't refuse. He turned around, grabbed the two bottles, and followed Zhang out of the inn.

Qin Yu didn't speak a word the whole way, not even asking a single question. This made Zhang feel uneasy, but she didn't ask. She just kept glancing at her from time to time!

Before long, they arrived at the county government office. After winding their way through the garden and a long corridor, they finally found a courtyard at the end of the corridor.

It's quite far from the front yard.

Zhang knocked on the door, and after a short while the door opened from the inside.

The maid stood to one side, letting Zhang Shi lead Qin Yu inside.

Qin Yu noticed that the room was dark and lacked color.

Looking more closely at the magistrate's wife, I heard she was only in her thirties, but she did indeed look as rumored, with a dark face and many wrinkles.

He doesn't look like someone in their thirties; he looks more like someone in their fifties.

"So you are Miss Yu?" The magistrate's wife spoke first.

However, her gaze wasn't focused on his face, and Qin Yu had a bold guess.

"Does Madam have an eye ailment?" Qin Yu asked.

"You saw it?" The magistrate's wife was surprised. She could see it, but not clearly; she could only see a shadow.
