The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

Shen stared at Wang Cuicui in shock, "A bellyband? What bellyband?!"

Wang Cuicui spat, "Looks like you don't know, your daughter is so desperate for a man that she's willingly giving away her own underwear."

"impossible!"

Shen's face turned pale.

Yunxi, who was being protected behind her, had no color in her face.

She was an unmarried young woman who was slandered for no reason. She was already weak and almost fainted from anger.

He's holding on by his last breath, just so that Shen Shi and Yu Wan won't worry too much.

Her weak voice came from behind Shen, thin but firm, "Aunt Wang, I did not seduce Uncle Sun Zheng, nor did I send out any personal items."

As long as Yunxi says no, the Shen family will never doubt her.

She protectively shielded her daughter with heartache, glaring angrily at Wang Cuicui, "You said my daughter gave him a bellyband, where is the bellyband? Show me the evidence!"

Wang Cuicui frowned and kicked Shi Sunzheng, "Where are the things?"

Only then did Shi Sunzheng dare to speak, stammering softly, "There was only one, and I've already returned it to her..."

Yunxi wrote him letters several times to seduce him. How could he refuse a woman who offered herself to him? He was easily aroused and his heart was filled with desire.

But Yunxi hadn't made a move in the past few days, and he was itching to do something, so he sent the undergarment back to remind Yunxi.

Taking advantage of Yun Shang's return to the county town today, she boldly went out to meet Yun Xi while Wang Cuicui was asleep.

Unexpectedly, when he sneaked into the Yun family home, he discovered that Yun Xi was sleeping with Shen Shi.

Just as he was about to escape, he was caught red-handed by Wang Cuicui, who was following him!

That shrew Wang Cuicui actually secretly followed him!

And then there's that shameless woman, Yunxi, who dared to seduce him but didn't dare to admit it!

Shi Sun was cursing inwardly, but he looked up at Wang Cuicui with a pleading expression, begging for her forgiveness.

"Cui Niang, believe me, I've changed for the better all these years and have been devoted to you. If this restless woman hadn't seduced me, how could I have done something to betray you!"

Yu Wan sneered upon hearing this.

"If men can change for the better, pigs can fly. You're kidding me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Cuicui's expression instantly turned ugly.

She was about to scold Yu Wan for being sharp-tongued when she heard her suddenly speak.

"Aunt Wang."

A large crowd had already gathered around the Yun family's residence, and Yu Wan knew that things couldn't escalate any further.

She stared at Wang Cuicui, secretly pinched her thigh, and her eyes instantly reddened. Her voice trembled with tears as she spoke.

"My husband is still ill, but he rushed back to the academy during the day. Aunt Wang, would you like to know why?"

Wang Cuicui rolled her eyes. "What does this have to do with me!"

Yu Wan smiled and said:

"I won't beat around the bush with you, Auntie. My husband returned to the academy this time because the headmaster of Bailu Academy in the county town was waiting to see him. The headmaster intended to take my husband as his last disciple..."

She lowered her voice, "Auntie should know how difficult it is to get into Bailu Academy. And they only gave one spot to each village under the county seat."

“I remember that my aunt’s eldest son did well in the school, so he should have a chance to compete for this spot.”

As Yu Wan spoke, she watched the anger on Wang Cuicui's face gradually disappear, and then stopped talking.

She choked back a sob, her voice barely audible to Wang Cuicui, "If my husband were to return and find that Yunxi has been in trouble and has been framed, I wonder how furious he would be... sob sob..."

Shi Sun was full of lustful thoughts, but he wasn't stupid. Hearing Yu Wan's words, his heart skipped a beat.

Bailu Academy in Huicheng County is the most famous academy in the entire Southern Prefecture. Although it is just a small academy in a county town, its dean and lecturers are all retired from the Imperial Academy.

The headmaster of Bailu Academy had even served as the Crown Prince's tutor.

Getting into Bailu Academy means you've already stepped into an official career.

No one knew better than him how much Wang Cuicui hoped her eldest son could study at Bailu Academy.

Wang San Niang's face was extremely pale.

Because Shi Sunzheng had only ever been a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the county-level imperial examination) and had never passed the Juren (another scholar who passed the provincial-level imperial examination) and had only managed to obtain a minor official position, she was extremely angry.

So ever since she had her son, Wang Cuicui has been determined to raise him to be a successful person.

Her son also lived up to expectations, ranking among the top students in the school.

Yu Wan's words hit her right where it hurt.

in fact.

She knew her husband's personality all too well; he was never one to stay put.

She had dealt with Yunxi before. She was physically weak and had a restless, foxy look on her face, but her eyes were clean and clear. It didn't seem like something she would do, like seducing a married man.

Most importantly, compared to a son who will amount to something in the future, a useless and lustful man is not worth mentioning at all!

Shi Sunzheng sensed that something was wrong and shouted in a panic, "Cui Niang, don't listen to this brat's nonsense! How could Yun Shang possibly have such great abilities to be favored by the headmaster of Bailu Academy! She's just saying this on purpose to make you let go of that slut Yun Xi!"

They kept calling each other "cheap slut," this couple really had foul mouths.

Yu Wan couldn't stand it.

He grabbed a broom from the side and swung it directly at Shi Sunzheng's chattering mouth!

"Snapped--"

The broom struck Shi Sunzheng directly in the face and brushed against Wang Cuicui's dress.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed before Shi Sunzheng could react, sweeping the dust outside the door and saying with a guilty look, "I was just trying to sweep the dirt in front of the door, but I accidentally swept you."

"My uncle and aunt are broad-minded and magnanimous. They certainly won't hold a grudge against someone as junior as me, right?"

Shi Sun was covering his mouth, too painful to speak.

Wang Cuicui's lips twitched, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

It's not that she doesn't know how to scold Yu Wan, but that she's now wary of Yu Wan.

Facing the expectant gaze of Shang Yuwan, Wang Cuicui suppressed her frustration and forced a stiff smile, saying, "Hehe, no, it's alright."

“Yu Niang, you didn’t do it on purpose, how can your aunt hold it against you?”

Yu Wan smiled brightly, "I knew it. Auntie is the most reasonable and understanding person."

“Our family lives in Shijia Village. Thanks to my aunt’s care, we are able to live such a comfortable life. We will always remember this kindness and will do our best to repay her if we have the chance.”

"Auntie, so tonight's incident... must have been a misunderstanding?"

Wang Cuicui gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, conflicted.

She wasn't stupid; she could easily understand what Yu Wan meant.

Yu Wan wanted to let tonight's events pass by.

If Yunxi can resolve this matter properly today, the Yun family will owe her a debt of gratitude. In the future, when Yunshang recommends scholars to Bailu Academy, the first one might be Wang Cuicui's son!

Compared to her son's future, what is a husband who is incompetent and restless?

Once Wang Cuicui understood this, she immediately beamed with joy.

She grabbed Shi Sunzheng by the collar and lifted him up, shouting, "It's all my fault for having a nightmare in the middle of the night that Yunxi's condition was getting worse, so I had to come and check on her. I almost caused a misunderstanding."

She called out to the onlookers, "Everyone, stop crowding around, it's all over, go back and rest!"
