At this moment, Granny Chen and Xing Hua walked in with the two children. “Madam, the two young masters are asleep.”
When Elder Madam Gong saw the two babies, she said in surprise, “Aiya! There are two identical babies again. Sister, it seems that the Lin family’s twins look exactly the same.”
Madam Gong talked about the twins. “Yes, when Ah Lan and Ah Yun were young, we often mistook one for the other. Once, we changed Ah Lan’s clothes twice, but forgot about Ah Yun. Also…”
Everyone chatted for a while. Elder Madam Gong smiled at Li Yu and said, “Ah
Yu, we’ll leave first. We still have something to do at home!”
Li Yu smiled at Elder Madam Gong. “Aunt, why are you leaving so soon? I still want to hear what interesting things are happening in the capital!”
Elder Madam Gong hesitated for a moment and nodded with a smile. “Yes, I don’t have time today. I’ll tell you when I’m free.”
Seeing her expression, Li Yu felt that it was inconvenient for her to say something. She didn’t ask further and pulled her along with a smile. “Alright,
I’ll wait for you.”
The Gong sisters came out of the house and asked Granny Yang to find Ruyi. They said to Ruyi, “Go to the government office and tell Jiahe that we’ll wait for him at the Intoxicated Immortal Restaurant. We have something to tell him.”
Seeing the two of them with solemn expressions, Ruyi quickly went to the government office and told Zhou Jia about the Gong sisters wanting to speak with him at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Zhou Jia recalled how his colleagues had been avoiding him and whispering about him in the government office these past two days. He said to Ruyi, “Something must have happened. Let’s go take a look. ”
Zhou Jia went to the Intoxicated Immortal Restaurant where the Gong sisters told Zhou Jia what they had heard.
Elder Madam Gong looked at Zhou Jia in confusion. “Jiahe, I know that you have a conflict with Censor Feng’s family, but why did Madam Xu and Madam Zhang slander Ah Yu?”
Zhou Jia cupped his hands and bowed. “Aunt, Aunt, Madam Xu might have been instructed by Country Lord Ning. In mid-July last year, Xiaoyu, Sir, and I helped a family with the surname Liu in Hengshan Town… It might be because of this that we offended Country Lord Ning. She most likely instructed them to spread these rumors.”
When the Gong sisters heard the vicious things He Yuqing had done to Liu Yulian and her daughter, as well as Steamed Bun Liu, they were extremely disgusted.
From the bottom of her heart, Madam Gong felt that that slut, Country Lord Ning, had most likely taken a fancy to Zhou Jia. Otherwise, how could she have instructed that spineless Madam Xu to slander Ah Yu?
Elder Madam Gong spat. “Even a monster will not hurt its own children. How can there be such a despicable and vicious person in the world? It’s too much to cut him into pieces. Why doesn’t anyone teach that slut Country Lord Ning a lesson? She did such a disgusting thing and yet she’s put to justice. I have to help her preach.”
“Yes, Cousin, I’ll go to the banquet with you in a few days and dispel the rumors. It’s just that the current matter…” Madam Gong looked at Zhou Jia. “Jiahe, in your opinion, what should we do?”
Zhou Jia stood up and bowed to the two of them. “Thank you, Aunt! Don’t worry, I won’t let them slander Ah Yu. I’ll think of a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible.”
Madam Gong nodded. “Alright, come to me if you need help. There are too many gatherings in the first month of the new year and too much talking.
People’s mouths can melt gold and destroy bones. Rumors will also kill people.”
“Yes, I’ll definitely resolve it as soon as possible.”
The Gong sisters looked at Zhou Jia in relief. “Alright, let’s go and find out which women are spreading rumors.”
“Thank you, Aunt.”
Zhou Jia sent the Gong sisters off gratefully. He sat there and thought for a while. He recalled that Old Master Zhou had said that he had met a big client before the new year. He said to Ruyi, “Go to Old Master and ask who went to buy dozens of pots of flowers from him before the new year. Ask Han San to find out who that slut colluded with.”
“Yes, sir.”
Ruyi agreed and went out to Old Master Zhou’s shop in Flower and Bird City. Seeing that he was busy tidying up the flower pots, he went forward and bowed. “Old Master, Master asked me to ask which family bought flowers before the new year. Do you still remember?”
Old Master Zhou glared at Ruyi. “Kid, you’re speaking without any context. Why did your master ask about the family that bought flowers? Tell me! What happened?”
Ruyi frowned and said, “Sigh! Someone is spreading rumors outside that my Madam is not filial to you and made you set up a stall in Flower and Bird City at vour age. Thev said that vou were such a glorious Derson when vou were
young, but you still did what a peddler would do when you were old.”
Old Master Zhou recalled that the woman had asked him to send the flowers to her house before the new year. There were also a few women pretending to ask questions in the garden. It seemed that their true intention was to deal with Xiao Xi’s wife.
“These long-tongued women used dirty methods to deal with Yang’er’s mother. Pfft! I’m happy to earn money with my own ability. What has it to do with them? They’re long-tongued women who have nothing better to do.” Old Master Zhou rolled up his sleeve. “I’m going to looking for her to return the flowers. I want to ask her which of her eyes saw that Yang’er’s mother was unfilial?”
“Yes, let’s ask her.” Ruyi was amused. “Old Master, get in the carriage. I’ll go back and get a few people to accompany you.”
Old Master Zhou waved his hand arrogantly. “There’s no need to call anyone. Just accompany me.”
Old Master Zhou greeted the person next door and got into the car to bring Ruyi to the house where they had bought flowers.
When the carriage arrived at a bustling street, Old Master Zhou pointed at the door of the mansion in front of him. “It’s that house. There aren’t many good people among the women in the mansion. They have nothing to do and only know how to stir up trouble all day. All of them are vicious women in private.”
Ruyi smiled and said, “You can’t blame Old Master. The word ‘Vicious Woman’ isn’t written on the her forehead.”
Old Master Zhou sighed. “Sigh! These women are the most unpredictable.”
When they were about to reach a flower shop, Ruyi saw two men chatting and laughing as they entered through the corner door. Ruyi looked at the back of one of them. This person seemed to be the husband of Madam’s cousin, High Scholar Li! Could he be a teacher here?
Before Ruyi could confirm if it was Li Fengqi, Old Master Zhou had already jumped out of the carriage and rushed to the door in two to three steps. He waved his arms at the three guards and shouted, “Go, call that talkative bitch out. Return the flowers to me and ask her to come out and explain to me. Which eye of hers saw that my nephew and daughter-in-law were unfilial?
“Long-tongued woman, buying and selling flowers is a done deal. Why does she think that she’s done a good deed and is superior to others? Long-tongued woman, come out. I’ll tear your mouth apart. Long-tongued woman, come out.”
Seeing that Old Master Zhou, an old man who sold flowers, actually dared to shout at the door, the doorman walked out of the gatehouse and rolled up his sleeves as he scolded Old Master Zhou fiercely, “Where did this old man come from? Open your eyes and see where this is. How dare you shout here? Get lost.
If you don’t leave, I’ll kill you!”
“You servant, how dare you intimidate me?” Old Master Zhou was full of aura. He rushed up and slapped that person. The remaining two guards rushed up with clubs and were knocked to the ground by Ruyi..
