Ms. Shen was busy in the kitchen when she heard the noise and quickly wiped her hands before coming out.

The entrance was already crowded with onlookers.

At the front were three men dressed in cotton clothes, who looked fairly decent, and appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

One of them had fair skin, was very pretty, and dressed more elegantly than the other two.

Although his clothes were just made of cotton, he wore a jade pendant at his waist and a silver crown, the style of which was currently popular in Huicheng County.

Both accessories were quite valuable, but on this person, they looked like an incongruous garment forced onto a beggar.

Outside, Madam Shen frowned as she watched.

Inside the house, Yu Wan and Elder Feng exchanged a glance, then led Yun Xi, who was eager to see what was going on, out together.

Standing in the courtyard, Madam Shen stared at the three men at the gate and asked warily, "What are you doing here at my house?"

The gate to the Yun family's courtyard only reached Shen's neck. Three men peeked into the courtyard, carefully examined Shen, and then huddled together to whisper a few words.

Ms. Shen was annoyed by the unbridled gazes of the group and was about to grab a broom to chase them away when she saw one of them's eyes light up.

"Yu Niang! Yu Niang! I've been looking for you so hard!"

Shen paused, her hand holding the broom still.

Yu Wan, Yun Xi, and Elder Feng, who had just stepped out of the room, also paused.

Old Master Feng's expression was somewhat complicated, and he muttered softly, "Wan'er, do you know this person?"

Yu Wan spread her hands innocently and said in a low voice, "We've never met before."

Yunxi sighed softly to herself, "Mother has really changed a lot these past few days."

After they finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

"Pah!" After a brief moment of stunned silence, Madam Shen slammed a broom against the courtyard gate and cursed, "Get the hell out of here!"

Everyone was shocked by the blow Shen delivered with his broom.

Yu Wan still remembers that on the night she first transmigrated, Shen Shi couldn't say anything more in front of the fierce Wang Cuicui.

Now, facing three strong young men, he actually has such momentum and courage.

Old Feng nodded with a smile, "Your mother-in-law is a good person, easy to get along with."

Yunxi: "..."

Yu Wan: "..." This little old man!

The three men were suddenly hit in the face by a broom, their mouths filled with dust, and they began to curse loudly.

"Pah! You old geezer, how dare you hit us with a broom!"

One of them rolled up his sleeves and tried to push the door open, causing many of the onlookers to change their expressions.

Several men took a step forward.

Just watch the excitement.

The Shen family are from Shijia Village, and they will not allow outsiders to bully them.

Seeing this clearly, Shen became even more confident, shouting, "Get out! Get out of my house! All of you, get as far away as you can and don't block my door!"

Seeing that the surrounding people seemed to want to help Shen, the three men's arrogance instantly diminished.

The man wearing a jade pendant and a silver crown stopped the other two men and whispered something to them.

The other two still had anger on their faces, but they suppressed it.

The man wearing the jade pendant stepped back a few paces, straightened his clothes, and bypassed Madam Shen, calling out affectionately into the courtyard, "Yu Niang, have you forgotten our promise so quickly?"

"You said that Yun Shang treated you coldly and never considered you his wife."

"You said that as long as you changed your status to a good one, you would elope with me. Yu Niang, do you still remember our vow?"

Yu Wan and Yun Xi exchanged a glance.

They all forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit.

Everyone around gasped in shock.

The Yun family's son didn't really like Yu Wan as his wife, and they knew that to some extent.

Could it be that Yu Wan really couldn't stand the loneliness and followed another man?

For a moment, the villagers' eyes became somewhat intriguing.

Shen's expression changed immediately. She gripped the broom tightly, her breathing becoming rapid with anger.

But she didn't do anything.

She wasn't suspicious of Yu Wan, but rather afraid.

Because what the man said was indeed true; Yun Shang had previously treated Yu Wan very coldly, and had never even said a word to her.

A moment of silence fell over the surroundings.

Yu Wan didn't say anything either.

She was recalling the original story because she wasn't sure if the original owner of this body had ever done such a thing.

Standing next to Yu Wan, Yun Xi noticed her furrowed brows and a slight glint in her eyes.

She suddenly took a step forward and said to the man outside the door, "You said we made a promise to run away together. When was that?"

Madam Shen was taken aback, "This..."

When the man at the door saw her speak, he quickly said with deep affection, "Of course it happened a month ago, Yu Niang. I have kept our promise firmly in mind. I have been rushing all the way here, afraid that I would make you wait too long if I arrived late."

How could you forget our promise?

The man's face was filled with sorrow. As he spoke, he took out a bodice from his robes, sniffed it gently, and said tenderly:

“You said that when I came back I would come to find you with our token of love. Yu Niang, come with me, I will definitely give you a good life.”

The man was so engrossed in his speech that he completely failed to notice the strange looks he was receiving from the villagers and the Yun family members watching from the sidelines.

Yunxi listened attentively, her face beaming with a smile, her voice gentle and soft, "So that's how it is."

She turned to look at Yu Wan and said to the man outside, "But what if my mother-in-law and sister-in-law stop me from leaving?"

The man was momentarily stunned by her smile, then angrily said, "In our Great Zhao, women who marry the wrong person can get a divorce. Don't be afraid, Yu Niang. I'll take you to the government office and ask the magistrate in the county yamen to write a divorce agreement for you. Don't worry about the Yun family not releasing you."

Yunxi smiled and nodded, "So that's how it can be done. I've learned a lot."

Xi'er?

A look of confusion crossed the man's face; he sensed that something was amiss.

Just then, the villagers who were watching all burst into laughter.

"This show is fantastic! We made the right choice coming here, hahaha!"

"Oh my, this is hilarious! If you want to smear the Yun family's daughter-in-law's innocence, you have to make sure you're right about her! He actually called Yunxi 'Yu Niang'! Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

"A love token? Judging by the design, it probably wasn't stolen from some prostitute's bed!"

"Hey, why do these people look so familiar... Wait a minute! Aren't these the habitual thieves who often loiter around the West Market?!"

This shout came from Butcher Liu, who often sold meat at the West Market in the village.

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at the three men and looked at them carefully for a few moments.

A chorus of agreement followed.

"It seems that's true. I once saw this man wearing a jade pendant stealing someone's purse with my own eyes!"

"So they're just petty thugs from the county town. What are they doing coming to the Yun family to slander Yu Niang?!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers' expressions changed.

It should be noted that Yun Shang's success brought many benefits to the village.

They all hoped that Yunshang would be more successful and help the village in the future.

But now someone is deliberately trying to slander Yunshang's wife.

Before Shen and the others could react, the burly men who had been watching spontaneously gathered together and surrounded the three young men.

"Speak! Who gave you permission to slander Lady Yun?!"
