After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

"The shopkeeper must not have slept well in prison," Xueting chimed in, not noticing anything amiss with Zhang Rouyan. On the contrary, she was quite pleased that Shopkeeper Ye had returned.

Hearing everyone's words of concern, Ye Yuwu felt unusually guilty.

She didn't dare tell them that she was actually doing quite well in prison, practically having a great time and forgetting all about home.

As soon as Ye Yuwu returned, everyone crowded around her and led her into the bookstore. Only then did they notice Qingming standing to the side.

"Let me help you put your things away." Qi Jingyue knew that Ye Yuwu had just returned and that everyone had a lot to say to her, so he offered to help her put her things away.

Actually, Ye Yuwu didn't have much in her bag, just the manuscript of a novel she had written in the prison cell. She had written quite a lot, so she brought it back with her.

Ye Yuwu thanked him without ceremony, and Qingming chuckled before taking his things upstairs.

Watching Qingming's departing figure, everyone finally came to their senses and exchanged glances.

Holy crap, could it be that what Zhang Rouyan said is all true?!

An Xing could initially comfort himself and even deceive himself into thinking it was fake, but seeing them like this now almost made him cry.

Why? Why did this happen?! Anxing cried, clutching his wounded heart.

Seeing An Xing sulking and drawing circles in the corner, looking downcast, Ye Yuwu asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"

"Haha, it's nothing, I'm probably just feeling down, I'll be fine in a bit." Zhang Rouyan laughed it off, and Ye Yuwu didn't ask any more questions after hearing that.

"Shopkeeper, why didn't you let us know you were coming back in advance so we could have picked you up?"

"I didn't expect that while I was still in the cell, a jailer suddenly let me leave. Because the time of my release was too rushed, I didn't have time to find someone to inform you." Ye Yuwu finally got to drink the tea at the bookstore, and her heart instantly felt much better.

"Then, shopkeeper, why did you come back with Qingming again?"

Zhang Rouyan asked a probing question, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen curiously. Even An Xing, who had been grieving alone in the corner, strained his ears.

“I don’t know either. As soon as I came out of the cell, I saw him standing outside waiting for me. I thought you knew in advance and sent him to pick me up, so I didn’t ask him.”

"Oh~ I see."

Everyone couldn't help but meet their eyes, indicating that they were shipping them.

"Yeah, what's wrong? What kind of expressions are you all making?" Ye Yuwu looked up and saw that they all had an "we understand" look on their faces, staring at her without blinking. It looked quite terrifying.

While Ye Yuwu was still wondering if there was something on her face, they pushed her away again, telling her to go back to the courtyard to wash and dress up, to cleanse herself of any bad luck, since she had just come out of prison and wanted to avoid getting tainted by anything unclean.

She suggested that she go back by herself. Hua Ping originally wanted to accompany her back and was about to speak when Liang Suxin and the others pulled her back.

"Manager Ye is so tired, and he still has to boil water when he gets back. Anyway, Qingming has nothing to do every day, so why don't we let Qingming accompany Manager Ye back? We're all quite busy."

Qi Jingyue, who had just walked down the stairs, suddenly heard his own name: ?

“Yes, yes, it’s decided then. Qingming, you must take good care of our Manager Ye.” After saying that, Xueting winked at Qingming.

Qi Jingyue, not understanding Xue Ting's facial expression, asked, "Are your eyes twitching?"

Xueting was speechless. "No."

An Xing wanted to get involved, but before he could even step forward and say that he should send Manager Ye back, Zhang Rouyan swiftly stepped on his foot.

He could only watch helplessly as the two of them were pushed out of the bookstore by the crowd.

As soon as they left, Bai Zunxing, looking completely exhausted, slumped into a chair without a care for appearances. "I knew it! I was wondering why Manager Ye had suddenly become so distant from my brother. Turns out she's found someone new. I feel bad for my brother, but I think 'they' are a perfect match!"

Everyone at the bookstore knew about Manager Ye's past, but no one responded to Bai Zunxing's words.

"We will protect their happiness!"

Upon hearing this, everyone clenched their fists in encouragement, their eyes brimming with unwavering determination.

Anxing, these women are terrifying! I need to escape!!

After Ye Yuwu returned to the bookstore, the bookstore resumed normal operations. Because of this incident, the bookstore became famous, and more people came to buy writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones than before.

Although most of them are women.

The letters Mr. Wuming received changed from insults to concern, and some women would even share their stories with him.

For example, in her letter, "Chan Buzhixue" said that after this incident, her family agreed to let her continue her studies and take the imperial examination with her brothers.

Ye Yuwu enjoyed reading about their little secrets, so she compiled them and put them away in a box.

Ye Yuwu was most grateful to Manager Gao. If it weren't for the book appreciation banquet he organized, which gave some women the power to "speak out" and thus the courage to fight for their rights, they wouldn't have dared to do so.

It was this book appreciation banquet that ignited the woman's determination to march, which led to her rescue.

Recently, storytelling and Southern Opera have gradually resumed, but Ye Yuwu feels that this matter is not so simple.

A large number of people suddenly became resentful, and some of them seemed to be organized and premeditated. After guiding some passersby, they secretly withdrew.

Even though they were being very careful, Ye Yuwu still discovered them, but she was too busy with her own affairs at the time to find out who was behind it.

She still needs to send someone to investigate this matter. She has just been released from prison, but the bookstore is not in dire need of rebuilding, thanks to Uncle Li and the others.

Ye Yuwu's men quickly uncovered the truth and identified the individuals involved. Among them, the Censor-in-Chief and the Hanlin Academician left the deepest impression on her.

They were the first to be targeted. Initially, it was they who aroused the people's resentment towards the bookstore, and then it was they who sent people to arrest her and shut down the bookstore.

Based on Ye Yuwu's experiences over the past few days and the information she had gathered, could it be that these two people were planning to get rid of her?

At that time, the matter had not yet escalated to this extent. A group of yamen runners who looked unusual suddenly appeared and kept asking about Wuming's whereabouts.

On the way to the prison, they kept trying to take her to a secluded alley, but she refused and insisted on taking the main road. Later, they forcibly dragged her into the alley.

How could Ye Yuwu not be suspicious of such an obvious action?

But she was a weak woman and couldn't resist. She tried to call out, but her mouth was covered.

Just as she was about to be dragged into the alley, a group of masked guards appeared and took her in.

Those people dared not speak out in anger, and then she was taken to prison by another group of people.

Even after entering the prison cell, she didn't feel any relief. Fortunately, the eldest princess came to visit her, and it was because of the eldest princess that these people were able to find out Wuming's true identity.

Later, for some unknown reason, they didn't secretly get rid of her while she was still in the cell.

She guessed that it might be because of Bai Zunyue and the Princess, which could explain why she was suddenly transferred to a different cell.
