Granny Du stood there, stunned.

After something like this happened... how can an unmarried girl possibly marry into a wealthy family?

"What a tragedy!" Granny Du cried out in anguish.

"The wives my brother married are truly wicked! When my brother comes back, I'll make him divorce her immediately!" Du E'li gritted her teeth.

Before long, Du Pengzhi returned home with the copied books.

Du E'li began to complain, her eyes brimming with tears, "Brother, today my sister-in-law and I ran into Ye Panjiu in town. She accused you of being unfaithful and divorcing your wife. When I tried to explain for you, my sister-in-law slapped me across the face..."

"I don't know what I did wrong..."

Du Pengzhi's face turned ashen. "Outrageous! How dare she do this? I'll go to the Liu family right now and get justice for you!"

Du E'li wiped away her tears and nodded.

If you try to fight me, my brother will always be on my side!

Du Pengzhi went to the Liu family again without stopping.

The doorman saw that he was the new son-in-law and let him in.

It just so happened that Liu, Liu the clerk, and Wang were all there.

Du Pengzhi bowed respectfully to the two of them, saying, "Greetings, Father and Mother."

His eyes, however, were fixed on Wang.

He naturally knew that the most important person in the Liu family was Wang.

By currying favor with the Wang family, one might be able to build some connections in official circles.

This can only benefit his career.

Liu looked at Du Pengzhi with great disgust.

Madam Wang smiled warmly, "I dare not accept the title of 'Mother.' As for your marriage with Madam Liu, given what happened today, we can only call it off. The Liu family cannot afford to lose face like this."

Du Pengzhi is quite pleasing to the eye; he's much better looking than my middle-aged husband.

“Indeed, as you say, Madam, your Du family is utterly unreasonable!” Master Liu echoed.

Du Pengzhi's heart sank. "Mother, you're exaggerating. It's all because I spoiled E'li and made her lose her sense of propriety. It's all her fault. But Liu and I have already had physical intimacy, and everyone in Dujia Village knows about it. If this marriage is called off, I'm afraid Liu will..."

Liu curled her lip in disdain at the idea of ​​physical intimacy; she wouldn't even let him touch her hand, let alone have any physical contact.

Nothing Du Pengzhi said was true; it was all for his own benefit.

But a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart; as long as she could leave the Liu family, she didn't care what he said.

Madam Wang smiled enigmatically, “If you want the marriage to remain on the table, that’s not impossible. You can live in the Liu family home from now on, and keep your rude little sister away from polluting my eyes. Then we can reconsider.”

Master Liu nodded vigorously, "What you say is absolutely right, madam!"

Du Pengzhi's heart pounded when he met Wang's gaze.

Is that what he meant...?

"Pengzhi will listen to his mother."

Liu closed her eyes and gripped the teacup tightly with both hands.

A deep sense of despair welled up inside me.

That man is a complete waste!

Wang stood up and went back to the main house. She wrote a note and handed it to the personal maid she had brought from the Wang family.

"Give it to the son-in-law."

Du Pengzhi was lectured by Master Liu for a long time, all about treating Liu's family well. He was so tired of hearing it.

I received the note as soon as I came out.

"Midnight".

Du Pengzhi felt a surge of excitement and didn't even ask the maid any questions.

Liu naturally wouldn't allow Du Pengzhi into her boudoir.

Du Pengzhi was sent to Liu's music room.

He wasn't unhappy at all; in fact, it made things even more convenient for him.

Whether or not that's what he meant, he would seize any opportunity to climb the ladder!

Whatever he has to give up.

Besides, Wang Shi is well-maintained and doesn't look that hard to eat.

Just as midnight arrived, Du Pengzhi quietly went to the outside of Wang's house.

He knocked gently on the door.

The door was opened from the inside, and Wang Shi, wearing only a thin veil, lay quietly on the bed.

Du Pengzhi closed the door behind him and strode forward.

...

Ye Panjiu and her group returned to the Ye family home.

Ye Panjiu found Ye Ming, who was still burning charcoal, and asked, "Ming'er, do you have any thoughts on inviting a tutor?"

The people cannot fight against the officials, so they cultivate officials.

Ye Ming shook his head with a wry smile.

He studied at the town's elementary school for two years, and the people he met there have been forgotten over a decade since he last contacted them.

"It's alright, leave it to your aunt." Ye Panjiu patted his shoulder.

She remembered that in recent years, there had been another family in Yejiacun who were sending their children to school.

Ye Panjiu filled a basket with chickens, grabbed Sun's hand, and went out the door.

Ms. Sun was very anxious because it concerned her son's education.

“Little sister, Hanxue is only seven years old. If you have to study with him tomorrow, you’ll probably feel terrible.”

Ye Panjiu paused, sighing, "The original owner of this body, oh the original owner of this body."

"It's alright. Fan Jin took the imperial examination for thirty years and finally passed at the age of fifty-four. There's no shame in pursuing education. I believe you'll overcome these challenges tomorrow."

She thought Ye Ming was like a chosen scholar. In her memory, during the two years he studied, he never slacked off, and would continue reading after school.

If you have enough passion, you'll be able to keep going.

“That’s right. If he’s feeling unwell, I’ll just buy him some expensive scholar’s ​​clothes to cheer him up.” Mrs. Sun patted her purse.

She's willing to spend money on her son!

Ye Panjiu also reached out and touched her purse.

Tall drum.

"You don't carry all your money with you all the time, do you?"

Sun asked her softly, "Aren't you one? I won't feel at ease if I don't take the money!"

"..."

"Second sister-in-law, don't you think it's too heavy? Buy a box with a lock. If you're worried, buy a few more so you can store them in more places."
