The children in the family didn't notice anything unusual until Liu Jiuniang mentioned, "Jiang Yong'an had a big fight with his family, and he packed his things and left yesterday afternoon. He didn't come looking for you, did he?"

Jiang Yong'an hadn't come to the shop for the past few days, but Liu Jiuniang didn't think much of it, since he often skipped work.

After all, he was Gu An'an's ex-husband, so Liu Jiuniang couldn't say anything.

However, this time she had a falling out with her family, and it's unclear what Jiang Yong'an's intentions were. Didn't he just divorce Gu An'an a few days ago?

Meeting Liu Jiuniang's curious gaze, Gu An'an smiled and asked, "Have you found a place to live?"

"I've found it, I've found it. One hundred coins a month, just a place to stay."

"That's good." Gu An'an thought for a moment and added, "He didn't come looking for me, so we have no relationship."

The person who said this had a calm expression, so Liu Jiuniang didn't know what to say. "It's alright, it saves that old lady from causing you trouble again."

Gu An'an chuckled softly upon hearing this, "Probably not."

That night felt like a dream, and when I woke up, everything went back to normal.

However, Gu An'an ultimately underestimated her opponent.

Old Mrs. Jiang actually came, bringing her whole family to the county town to confront them.

It was midday, and Gu's Food Shop was bustling with activity. Old Mrs. Jiang looked at the people in the shop, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes. Where did Gu An'an get the money to open the shop?

Wasn't it given to you by that infuriatingly unreasonable guy?

This shop should rightfully belong to the Jiang family! Why has this woman taken it over?

Thinking of this, Old Lady Jiang plopped down on the ground and burst into tears, "I'm so unlucky! My unfilial son has forgotten his mother after marrying a wife. He even threatened to kill me to please that little bitch! I don't want to live anymore!"

It should be noted that the shop that Gu An'an chose was located on the busiest and most prosperous street in Anping County, with a very high flow of customers.

It was midday, so there were naturally many people coming and going.

This dramatic display of suicidal tendencies attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

Out of curiosity, I couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"My unfilial son, he's forgotten his mother after getting married! I endured ten months of pregnancy and gave birth to him, only to give birth to such a blockhead. If I had known, why would I have suffered all this?"

Su Sanniang, who ran a needlework shop, was selecting embroidery threads when she heard the continuous howling of wolves outside. She frowned and went over to see what was going on.

When she saw that Grandma Jiang, who was squatting on the ground, kept glancing at Gu's food stall, she roughly understood what was going on.

Just as I was about to ask a question, I suddenly heard that clear, melodious female voice, "Since your son is unfilial, then go to the government office and sue him. This isn't a government office, so what's the use of crying and making a scene here?"

Upon hearing this, Su San Niang couldn't help but look over. She saw the carriage curtain lifted, revealing a pair of eyes that could smile or frown, eyes as clear as autumn water, eyes that could make one forget the mundane world.

Even after living in Jiangnan for decades, Su San Niang had never seen eyes more beautiful than these.

Whose daughter is this? She's certainly helping those in need.

Su San Niang had no idea where the young woman in the carriage came from, and Old Lady Jiang had even less to say. For a moment, she forgot what to say, and it took her a while to come to her senses. "My son was originally a good man, but he was corrupted by his wife after she got married."

The woman on the carriage chuckled upon hearing this, "Ignorant country bumpkin, it's clearly your fault for not raising your son properly. Your own son is immoral, yet you insist on blaming women. Let me ask you, how old is your son?"

Grandma Jiang was stunned for a moment. "Twenty-six, no, he's twenty-seven this year. His birthday is coming up soon."

"What a loving mother! She doesn't even know how old her own son is. It's clear she's neglected his upbringing. I think things aren't as you say. In my opinion, it's you and your son who have long been estranged, yet you're unwilling to throw this mud at your daughter-in-law. What a cunning old woman."

Old Mrs. Jiang never expected that the person in the carriage would have such a sharp tongue, leaving her speechless and unsure how to refute.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ersao immediately stepped forward, saying, "You must have been someone Gu An'an hired. You've been in cahoots with Gu An'an all along. There are no parents who are always wrong, and filial piety is the most important virtue. He is unfilial to his parents, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it. What excuse do you have?"

The person in the carriage was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, seemingly not expecting such a rebuttal.

Jiang Ersao, however, spoke with conviction, "Gu An'an's disrespect for her mother-in-law is nothing new. She's been disobedient in every way before, and now she's even instigating Lao San to have a big fight with her mother-in-law. I'm going to report this to the authorities right now. Our Anping County has always been peaceful and prosperous; we can't tolerate such a disobedient and wicked woman!"

"She's shameless!" Liu Jiuniang couldn't help but spit. She had never seen anyone more shameless than Jiang Ersao.

How dare you distort the truth and spout nonsense?

Gu An'an remained calm and wasn't angry at all. "Ignore her."

But when she looked at the carriage parked on the road and saw the elegant "Fu" character, she felt a sense of relief.

It was said before that the daughter of Minister Fu was coming, but she arrived so late that Gu An'an thought something had happened to her on the way.

Fortunately, the person has now arrived safely.

However, this Miss Fu is quite an interesting person.

Such "disobedient and unfilial" remarks are truly astonishing.

After all, feudal dynasties governed the country based on the loyalty and filial piety between the emperor, his ministers, fathers, and sons. Violating loyalty and filial piety was tantamount to challenging imperial power.

It's unclear whether this Miss Fu is rebellious or if the Fu family is different from other families.
