Nan Chungu looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Who are you? What do you want with my brother-in-law?"

This woman is so hesitant and evasive; there's something fishy about her.

Moreover, he saw this woman spying on his brother-in-law on many occasions.

A brother-in-law can only belong to the older sister; this scoundrel shouldn't even think about getting close to her.

Wu Yingqiu frowned, then smiled and said, "I'm from the Wu family in the next village."

Nan Chungu pouted and said, "What are you doing in our village, you from the next village? You're not here to beg for meat, are you? Let me tell you, we don't even have enough to eat ourselves, so don't even think about it."

Wu Nanshuang, who was eating with her head down, chuckled to herself, and no one from the Nan family tried to stop her.

Having her thoughts exposed, Wu Yingqiu wished she could get rid of the troublesome child in front of her.

"You've misunderstood. I'm here to see Hunter Song."

Nan Chungu took a sip of meat soup and waved his hand, saying, "You have no chance. You're not as pretty as my sister, and you can't compare to her in any way. Go back!"

With a "pfft," someone spat out the meat soup.

"Oh dear, you spendthrift..."

People around her turned to look at Wu Yingqiu. She clenched her fingers and looked unwell.

"Is this how your sister taught you to speak? You have no manners!"

Wu Yingqiu's voice was loud, and several families in the vicinity could hear it.

She seemed to have forgotten whose territory she was on.

“Who do you think you are, barging into our village like this? Didn’t your mother teach you anything?” Li Xunfang stood up.

You can say anyone, just not Nam Gyi.

Nan Zhi is her great benefactor. The young girl is naive and inexperienced; let her teach her a lesson.

Seeing the unfriendly looks from those around her, Wu Yingqiu realized she had made a mistake.

He wanted to show off in front of Song Hanyan, but unexpectedly got the opposite effect.

Of course, the Nan family was not to be trifled with either.

Nan Zhi glanced at Qian Lanfang, and Qian Lanfang immediately stood up.

Qian Lanfang had been restless for a long time, but the old lady had told her to keep quiet and not cause trouble for Nan Yatou.

That's why I've been holding back.

Now, there's absolutely no need.

“You little hussy, my son is already a student of the Imperial Academy. Say what you just said again, let me see.”

Wu Yingqiu took a step back, never expecting that the child in front of her was already a student of the first level of the imperial examination.

In everyone's eyes, Wu Yingqiu was an illiterate shrew.

She has no shame in teaching a lesson to the village's future top scholar.

Under such scrutiny, Wu Yingqiu couldn't stay any longer.

"Song Hanyan, are you just going to watch them bully me like this?" Wu Yingqiu was on the verge of tears.

Nan Zhi, lying on Song Hanyan's body, could no longer listen.

Song Hanyan helped his wife up.

Nanzhi pulled the person into her arms.

"See this? This man is mine. You've come all this way, do you want him or meat? Let me tell you, the meat is from our village, you won't get any. The man is mine, I'm warning you, don't you dare show your face in front of me. Where did you get the nerve to come here? Even the plasterers on the city wall aren't as thick-skinned as you."

"Plop." The meat fell into the soup, splashing Weimin's face with meat soup.

So, our master is actually this irritable?

It seems we were indeed too polite to them back then.

"You, you, you! How rude!"

With so many people watching, Wu Yingqiu didn't dare to act recklessly.

The people of Taile Village looked at her as if they wanted to tear her apart.

Meanwhile, You Xia had already lost all sense of shame and went back.

Looking at Song Hanyan, his mind was entirely on Nanzhi, and he had no time to care about her.

Wu Yingqiu stamped her foot and went back crying.

The families in Taile Village gathered together.

"I didn't realize that girl had such a bad temper."

"What do you mean? If someone else took a fancy to your husband, could you sit still?"

"What! Then break her legs! How dare she try to steal my husband? She doesn't even know her own limitations!"

······

The two returned empty-handed, and Old Mrs. Wu looked rather unhappy.

The daughter is his own, so he can only vent his anger on his daughter-in-law.

"Useless thing. My eldest son is injured now. It's one thing that you can't have children, but you can't even get a meat soup back. You're just a piece of trash."

Grandma Wu spoke loudly, spitting everywhere, as if afraid others wouldn't hear her.

Grandma Nan shook her head. "What kind of world is this? Her own son is a good-for-nothing, yet she blames her daughter-in-law."

Qian Lanfang also sighed, saying that she used to feel wronged because her mother-in-law always criticized her.

But compared to the old lady of the Wu family, her mother is practically a saint reborn.

She was incredibly gentle.

Therefore, in the days that followed, Qian Lanfang took even better care of Old Lady Nan than she did of Nan Qun.

After resting for a night, the main force began its march the next day.

Wei Guo: "My lord, in two more days we will reach the border of Yongzhou."

Song Hanyan nodded, "Yongzhou is the territory of the current Prince of Qi, but the Prince of Qi is not in his fiefdom."

"Then how should we get there from Yongzhou?" Nanzhi asked.

Under normal circumstances, they cannot enter without the consent of the state government, let alone cross Yongzhou.

Song Hanyan pondered, "Since we set off, news of the volcanic eruption should have reached the court by now, and the Emperor must have made arrangements."

“But,” Weimin said, “won’t His Majesty believe Jingji’s story?”

Even before the volcanic eruption, Nanzhi had instructed his apprentice Jingji to hurry back to the capital.

Judging by the days, it should be time.

So now they can only wait and see, and wait for news.

Meanwhile, a fierce dispute was brewing within the imperial court.

Emperor Zhaode looked at the noisy ministers below with a headache.

"Alright!" Emperor Zhaode said in a deep voice, "Haven't we come up with a solution yet?"
