Yun Xiangye frowned and said, "How could such a thing happen? Have you reported it to the authorities? I'll follow you and take a look."
Ye Zhimiao said, "We didn't report it to the police. Those people are obviously not to be trifled with. I heard from the people next to us that they have a noble person behind them. I wonder which noble person would bully us like this."
Yun Xiangye asked Run'er to take Nuonuo to Gu Yan. She was afraid that this matter would be difficult and she would not be able to come back for a while. Nuonuo would be scared if she didn't see her at night.
Yun Xiangye followed Ye Zhimiao to the Ye family's cloth shop on West Street. It was a mess inside and a lot of cloth was soaked. Ye Yuan was so angry that he was shaking, and his aunt Ye was crying silently beside him.
Yun Xiangye asked, "Uncle, Aunt, have you offended anyone?"
Ye Yuan said, "We came to Chang'an City and opened this cloth shop. We did business honestly and didn't dare to offend anyone. But who knew a group of people would come and smash our business."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and said, "Uncle, aunt, don't worry. I will definitely seek justice for you. Let's go to the Chang'an government office and report it first."
The rain outside had just stopped. Yun Xiangye went to the Chang'an government office and beat the drum for a long time before a yamen runner came out and asked, "Why are you beating the drum to complain?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Sir, my uncle's shop was vandalized by thugs and ruffians, and over two thousand taels of silver worth of cloth was destroyed."
The yamen runner asked, "Do you know the names of those ruffians?"
Yun Xiangye shook her head, "I don't know."
"I don't know how our government will handle this. Go away, the Chang'an government has a lot of things to do. If your business is smashed, it must be because you are not doing business honestly."
Yun Xiangye frowned upon hearing the official's words and said, "My uncle is an honest businessman..."
"Go, go, go." The official waved his hand to drive Yun Xiangye away and said, "The government office is an important place, it's not the place to take care of the affairs of ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiangye could only frown and leave.
Ye Zhimiao, who was standing by, said, "This official is too arrogant. Sister, why don't I ask the Prince of Xiang for help?"
Yun Xiangye said, "No matter who I ask for help, I can't ask the Prince of Xiang. I will ask Gu Yan to help me."
Ye Zhimiao looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "But sister, haven't you and Gu Yan already divorced?"
Yun Xiangye said, "So what if they divorced? We can't just die without any contact after being wronged. Besides, as an official appointed by the court, he should work for the people and seek justice."
After Yun Xiangye finished speaking, she first sent Ye Zhimiao back to the cloth shop on West Street.
When they entered the cloth shop, Su Zhan was inside and Xu Mengqi was comforting Aunt Ye.
"Cousin." Yun Xiangye said to Su Zhan, "Why are you here?"
Su Zhan said, "I just learned about this as well. I've already found out the origins of those who caused the trouble. It's the family of the steward of the Duke of Wei's mansion, the brother-in-law. He used to rely on his brother-in-law being the steward of the Duke of Wei's mansion to have a bunch of bad friends."
Yun Xiangye recalled the look on Wei Xi's face that had made her wait a few days ago. She frowned slightly and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry for you."
Ye Zhimiao said angrily, "Sister Yun, how could it be you who has wronged us? It's clearly that unfilial daughter Ye Wanhe who has wronged us. She has become a daughter of the Wei family. I'm afraid she thinks that sooner or later we will reveal her identity in Chang'an, so she asked the Wei family to attack us, right?"
