"Duobao, go back and ask my mother, then I'll tell you." Zhao Erni was also completely stunned. Shouldn't Wu Yong be with his aunt? How come he married Duobao's sister?
But she couldn't say anything to Duobao right now.
Qian Duobao didn't pay much attention to it, waved goodbye to Zhao Erni, and Zhao Erni returned to the Mo family and told Li Rouniang about it.
Li Rouniang thought about it carefully and realized that Qian Duobao's sister was the eldest daughter of the Qian family who had taken her to find Erni that day.
She thought that Miss Qian was kind to a stranger like herself, but Wu Yong was malicious and morally corrupt, and was not a good person at all!
Thinking this, Li Rouniang said to Erni, "Erni, you and Dani stay with Grandpa Mo tonight. I plan to go to the Qian family and then come back to pick you up."
"Mother, I want to go with you too!" Erni protested, insisting on going with Li Rouniang.
Li Rouniang had no choice but to nod. Da Ni obediently said, "Then I'll take care of San Ni and Xiao Shan here with Master Mo."
"Good girl, Da Ni." Li Rou Niang patted Da Ni's head, then briefly told Mo Bei and Old Man Mo about the matter, planning to inform the Qian family, since it would be too late to get married tomorrow.
Mo Bei wanted to go to town with Li Rou Niang, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was not advisable for him to be too conspicuous. So he kept quiet and planned to follow her secretly, and then take action if there was any danger.
Li Rouniang rushed to the Qian family with Erni. Qian Duobao was surprised to see Zhao Erni: "Erni, why did you come with Aunt Li?"
The Qian couple warmly welcomed Li Rouniang and her companions into the main room. After tea was served, Li Rouniang asked, "I heard from Erni that Duobao said Miss Qian is getting married tomorrow?"
"Yes, it's quite a fortunate match for us. She was already of marriageable age, but she didn't like any of the several suitors we arranged for her. It just so happens that she took a liking to this Scholar Wu. It's just that the two children are destined to be together," Madam Qian said with a smile.
Li Rouniang said to Erni, "Erni, I want to talk to Madam Qian about something. Why don't you and Duobao go play in the courtyard for a while?"
Qian Duobao happily took Erni's hand: "Erni, let me take you to see my room. My room is so much fun."
After the two children left, Madam Qian asked in confusion, "Madam Li, is there something you want to say to us?"
"It's like this, Mr. Qian, Mrs. Qian, I've met Miss Qian once before, and fearing she might marry the wrong person, I've come specifically to inform you that Scholar Wu is not a good man..."
"Shut up, you audacious woman, how dare you spout such nonsense!" Before Li Rou Niang could finish speaking, a sharp shout rang out.
"Ruyi, what brings you here?" Master Qian asked.
“Father, don’t listen to her nonsense. Wu Lang already told me that he’s not well-liked in the village because he’s an outsider, and many people are spreading rumors about him,” Qian Ruyi said as she stepped forward.
“Miss Qian, I didn’t mean to seriously injure Wu Xiucai, it’s just that he and my little…” Li Rou Niang wanted to reveal the affair between Wu Yong and Zhao Da Hua, but she had some reservations, so she paused for a moment and continued, “After all, marriage is a lifelong matter, so I hope Miss Qian will do more research.”
“What’s there to investigate? When I met Wu Lang, he told me everything. He’s incredibly talented, but his life has been full of misfortunes. He’s a pitiful man. Father, I’ve decided that he’s the one for me.” Qian Ruyi said with a look of deep affection.
"This..." Master Qian hesitated. He had originally thought that although Wu Yong was only a scholar, with his connections, his future would be bright!
But Li Rouniang's visit today made him hesitate again. He thought that he might have been careless and should have investigated her more thoroughly.
"Father, I will marry no one but Wu Lang in this life!" Qian Ruyi said before kneeling in front of Master Qian.
Seeing all this, Li Rouniang felt a pang of regret, but she also knew she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. So, she gritted her teeth, stepped forward, and briefly explained what she knew about Zhao Dahua and Wu Yong.
Master Qian was furious. How dare Wu Xiucai deceive his daughter!
He said coldly to Qian Ruyi, "Ruyi, are you aware of what Madam Li said?"
"Of course I know, but Wu Lang and Zhao Dahua are completely innocent. Zhao Dahua is already married to someone else, but she remains infatuated with me, Wu Lang, and keeps pestering me. Wu Lang really has no choice. It's not Wu Lang's fault, Father. It's just that my Wu Lang is too outstanding." Qian Ruyi didn't believe it. Wu Xiucai had already told her that there was such a lovesick Wu Lang in the village who was pestering her. She was furious when she heard that!
The affair between Wu Xiucai and Zhao Dahua was kept secret, and no one in the village knew about it. Naturally, the people that Master Qian sent out to investigate failed to find out about it.
For a moment, Master Qian hesitated. Li Rou Niang knew that she didn't have any evidence, but she had done her best. What would happen in the future was up to fate.
Li Rouniang bid farewell, saying, "Master Qian and Madam Qian, things have come to this point, and I have said what I needed to say. The rest is up to you to decide. I will take Erni and leave now."
After Li Rouniang and her daughter left, Qian Duobao stepped forward and said, "Father, Mother, Sister, Erni all told me that Wu Xiucai is not a good person. Sister, you shouldn't marry him."
"What nonsense is this child spouting!" Seeing that Qian Ruyi's eyes were looking strange, Madam Qian quickly pulled Qian Duobao away.
