With Shi Qingluo's threats and fools, the troublemakers of the Shi family went down the rabbit hole.
The whole family was prepared to fight with the Wu family tomorrow.
Third Son Shi watched from one corner as his family members were tricked into rubbing their hands in anticipation of provoking the Wu family.
It would be hard for him to explain in words.
Once again, he decided that he would never offend this girl in the future.
Her mouth was really too eloquent.
Even he felt that he should go to the Wu family and make them compensate for destroying his brother's purity and this marriage with a cheap woman as if his brother initiated it.
But this was clearly his brother's own doing.
In the past, when he saw that illegitimate daughter of the Wu family, he wanted nothing more than to kneel and lick her.
But now, he was actually starting to stand on edge...
After Fourth Son Shi was agitated, he looked at Shi Qingluo in puzzlement and asked, "Why did you come up with this plan?"
Are you eyeing on that 1000 taels of silver?
How could Shi Qingluo not see through his intentions? "I'm just doing it for sheer pleasure. They actually dared to scheme against my husband and even wanted to give him a new wife. How can I accept this?"
The troublemakers of the Shi family remained silent.
These two sentences were probably her main point.
Knowing her well enough, she definitely wouldn't accept it.
"Keep the silver for yourself. I'm not interested."
She took out her whip and played with it.
After sweeping a glance at the troublemakers of the Shi family, she changed the topic, "If you didn't make a fuss until the entire county was aware of it, do you know what the consequences are?"
Was it that easy to take money from the Wu family?
They gave them 1000 taels of silver with a grievance, so of course, they would want them to pay back twice the amount.
It wasn't easy to get rid of the troublemakers of the Shi family either.
Would they still spit out 1000 taels of silver after receiving it?
This meant that they would often be in a dog-eat-dog situation.
Let's see how the Wu family would continue to survive in Nanxi County with their completely tarnished reputation.
It was about time for Mo Qingling to make his move.
The Shi family didn't want to know about this.
What a sin. How could there be such a bully in their family?
Old Lady Shi said sulkily, "Don't worry, it will definitely blow up."
Only then did Shi Qingluo smile. "Old Lady, we are a family. I'm doing this for your own good."
The Shi family uttered under their breath, we appreciate it. Actually, you don't have to do this for our own good.
Then, Shi Qingluo taught Old Lady Shi and the others how to turn the tables tomorrow.
This caused them to widen their eyes in disbelief.
They could do it like this?
A new opportunity was welcoming them.
Seeing that the Shi family had compromised, Shi Qingluo then stood up with Xiao Hanzheng.
She looked at Third Son Shi subtly who nodded to her secretly.
He was also reassuring her that he would ensure that their family would make a big fuss at the Wu family's house the next day.
Only then did Shi Qingluo say lazily, "We'll make a move first. There's no need to send us off."
The Shi family's troublemakers remained silent, who wants to send you off?
Then, they really didn't send them off.
After Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng left, they immediately closed their door now that the bullies weren't in their house anymore.
Then, the whole family discussed how to cause a ruckus, while Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng strolled along an empty path.
Xiao Hanzheng held Shi Qingluo's hand and chuckled. "Tomorrow's drama in the county will probably be very good to watch."
It was a pity that he had to attend school in the county.
Otherwise, he would want to enjoy it.
His little wife's tricks of instigating the troublemakers to deal with the wicked were truly amazing.
There wasn't a need for him to personally go out and let them bite each other.
It would just be a chaotic scene every day.
Shi Qingluo chuckled. "I'll secretly go to the county tomorrow to take a look."
Since she couldn't see how the old Xiao family dealt with Xiao Hanzheng's scumbag father and that slut, of course, she wouldn't want to miss the Wu family's show.
Xiao Hanzheng knew that she couldn't sit still. "Let's go."
The next day, Xiao Hanzheng went to the county school early in the morning.
Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Erlang to keep an eye on the Shi family and inform her when they left home.
Xiao Erlang returned very soon and said that not a single member of the Shi family was at home.
All of them had gone to the county.
Shi Qingluo also stood up and called Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili, "Mother, let's go to the county town to watch a good show."
Bringing her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to watch a good show would give them opportunities to learn new tactics so that they wouldn't be so naive anymore.
Mother Xiao had already heard this from her daughter-in-law last night.
She didn't expect her daughter-in-law to be so capable as to actually incite the Shi family members to go to the Wu family residence to cause a ruckus.
She could not help but become curious. "Alright!"
Liang Youxiao, who lived in their side courtyard, happened to overhear their conversation.
He immediately walked over. "What's there to watch? I'll go too."
Shi Qingluo realized that he was not only a foodie, but also someone who liked to join in the fun.
"Sure, let's go if you want to!"
Fei Yuzhe saw that his nephew's complexion was much better now.
It was also too boring to stay at home, so he followed along.
Hence, they took a carriage to the county town.
Then, Shi Qingluo brought them to the teahouse directly opposite the Wu Family.
She requested for a private room that happened to face the Wu family and ordered a pot of tea.
After sitting for a while, Liang Youxiao was bored. "Where's the good show?"
He knew that the Wu family had framed Xiao Hanzheng and suffered a backlash.
He was just a little curious.
Could it be that the show at the flower feast was not satisfying enough? What kind of show would he watch today?
Shi Qingluo looked downstairs. "Here it is."
They followed and looked down too.
They saw an old lady rushing out from the Wu family's house with a few women behind her.
What made them dumbfounded was that they quickly sat at the entrance of the Wu family's house, patted their legs with a lot of force and started crying.
They had really never seen this kind of comedy before.
It was impossible for aristocratic ladies to do such a thing.
The onlookers could not help but step forward and ask what was going on.
Old Lady Shi slapped her leg and cried loudly, "My son's purity was ruined by a daughter of the Wu family.
"My son could not bear the fact that she would not be able to get married in the future and be sent away as a monk, so he could only kindly offer to marry her.
"However, the Wu family wanted 1000 taels of silver for the betrothal gift. How could we afford it?
"We didn't agree so we didn't propose marriage, but the Wu family was against it and forced my son to marry their daughter.
"They said that their daughter had taken a fancy to my son long ago, so she deliberately got drunk and did things together with my son.
"They even blamed my son for not knowing his status well and losing his virginity.
"It's too much for us to provide 2 taels of silver as their betrothal gift for an impure cheap woman.
"The Wu family actually forced our family to sell land and houses as their betrothal gifts.
"We were given no other choices but to proceed with the marriage.
"These merchants are bullying us, the farmers. This is too much"
"My son is still a tongsheng.
"It's not difficult for him to marry a pure woman. With the Wu family forcing him like this, my son is not going to marry her.
"I'm going to ask the county magistrate for help."
Following that, Mdm Niu and the others also hit their feet and sobbed as they cursed without any restraint.
The underlying meaning was that the Wu family's daughter had ruined Fourth Son Shi's purity.
She insisted on marrying into their family and even forced them to provide a lofty betrothal gift.
This was daylight robbery.
The onlookers were speechless upon hearing this.
The Wu family was too shameless.
The incident at the flower feast had already spread throughout the county, so even those who held the lowest social status knew about it.
Now they heard that Tongsheng Shi was willing to marry the shameless young lady of the Wu family, but the Wu family actually demanded such a lofty betrothal gift and had even forced them to sell their land and house.
This had completely overturned what they knew about their society.
The Wu family was simply a bully, a bandit!
Eldest Young Master Wu and the others, who had just reached the scene, heard the old lady's sobbing and saw many people criticising them as shameless bandits who bullied others.
They were so angry that they almost vomited blood on the spot.
The Shi family had said clearly that they would only give 2 taels of silver for their betrothal gifts.
Not to mention this, they actually wanted the Wu family to provide 1000 taels of dowry as compensation.
They were sarcastic to claim that their daughter was not even worth 2 taels of silver, but still provided a betrothal gift as they didn't want to humiliate the Wu family.
This made them very angry.
Of course, the Wu family did not agree and they started arguing.
Who knew that Old Lady Shi would suddenly run out of the Wu family's house with her daughters-in-law?
They were all dumbfounded.
They also didn't expect Old Lady Shi to actually sit at the entrance of the Wu family with her daughters-in-law.
Not only did she throw a tantrum, but she also slandered them.
They wondered who were the real shameless bandits ...
Apart from the Wu family, Liang Youxiao and Fei Yuzhe, who were watching the show upstairs, were also dumbstruck.
This accusation was truly superb.
