Qin Su'an said viciously, "First, we'll seize her power as head of the household and take control of the family business. Then, we'll find a suitable excuse to divorce her and kick her out, and put an end to it all."
Wei came to the party of Madam Li at the Earl of Dongchang's mansion and exaggerated the matter, saying that Xie Wanyun was ambitious but incompetent, and confused in his work. He first tricked the old lady and herself into taking out their private money to invest in business, but ended up losing all their coffin money.
The ladies were curious and said that Xie Wanyun was a good businessman, so how could he lose so much money?
Wei acted as if she was about to speak but hesitated, prompting the ladies to question her repeatedly. She finally stammered, "It's hard to say. Who knows what she's up to?"
"Oh!" Everyone showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
In the days that followed, Wei frequently visited the homes of the nobles in the capital, making up a story about this incident and telling it to everyone she met. She also listed all of Xie Wanyun's evil deeds, such as disrespecting her mother-in-law, being cold to her husband, abusing her concubine, and forcibly seizing her son.
She had a natural talent for acting, and her tearful performance, with excellent singing and acting, aroused everyone's sympathy, some even shed tears of sympathy.
But these were just old stories, and they didn't interest the ladies much. No one else could teach Xie Wanyun a lesson on her behalf.
At this stage, the Wei family only wanted public support, and it wasn't ready for violence. But Xie Wanyun's reputation was completely ruined.
Xie Wanyun didn't care at all. He went out every day as usual, doing business when he should do business and going out for fun when he should go out for fun. If someone asked him questions with bad intentions, he would just talk back.
Lian Yuzhui became impatient and couldn't help asking Xie Wanyun what his plan was. The latter just said two words: no rush.
The two old ladies wanted to make a big fuss, and so did she. The bigger the fuss, the better. The pustules had to be popped.
The Wei family has been busy these days, spreading rumors everywhere. Apart from providing topics of conversation among the noble families and earning a wave of sympathetic sighs, it seems that there has been no effect?
That day, the two old ladies discussed it and felt that the public opinion had been built up enough and they should ask Xie Wanyun for an explanation.
Qin Su'an and Liu Yun'er naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
Qin Su'an knew that he had no chance with Xie Wanyun, and he no longer expected her to change her mind. He just hoped that he could get some benefits from her.
Liu Yun'er even wished that the Qin family and Xie Wanyun would completely fall out, otherwise she would always be suppressed by Xie Wanyun.
Wei Mingyue didn't want to offend Xie Wanyun, the God of Wealth, so she pretended to be unwell and slipped back home. She also sent her personal maid to deliver a letter to Xie Wanyun, saying that the Qin family was going to cause trouble for her.
Xie Wanyun read the letter and smiled coldly. It was time to resolve the problem. After so many days, she was no longer impatient to play along with this group of people.
That day, Xie Wanyun did not go to Mu Garden, but returned to the Marquis' Mansion. As soon as she entered the door, she was invited to her yard by several servants from the old lady's room.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw two old ladies sitting in the main seats, with Qin Su'an and Liu Yun'er accompanying them on the sides.
The old maids, servants and male servants stood in the yard in a dense crowd, all of them holding their breath.
Xie Wanyun didn't care at all and sat down calmly.
Seeing her calm demeanor, the Qin family members felt suspicious, but they couldn't afford to lose face.
Qin Su'an, as the head of the family, spoke first, saying loudly, "Xie Wanyun! A few days ago, you lost all the money of the two wives, right?"
He was full of momentum, but Uncle Qin was now lame in both legs, his face was sagging, and he looked really ugly with his pair of bulgy eyes.
Xie Wanyun looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at an ugly monkey, full of disgust and contempt.
Qin Su'an felt uneasy when she looked at him, and raised his voice, "You evil woman! Why don't you say anything?"
Xie Wanyun spoke slowly, his voice as cold as ice.
"In business, there are gains and losses. This time I lost money, I can only say it was bad luck."
