Erzhuzi suddenly turned fierce, staring intently at Hongying as if he wanted to devour her.
In Hongying's eyes, Erzhuzi was an honest and simple-minded person who, after being tricked by her, could do nothing but sulk.
The person in front of me seemed like a completely different person, his fierceness tinged with a scoundrel-like ruthlessness.

Hongying felt a chill in her heart. She comforted herself, telling herself that Erzhuzi was just bluffing, and as long as she didn't back down, he couldn't do anything about it.
Hongying retorted, "Erzhuzi, if you treat me rudely, if you dare to lay a finger on me, I'll report you to the authorities and say you raped me!"
Erzhuzi was a little puzzled. This woman was really difficult to deal with. How come she hadn't been scared yet?
He silently repeated Tang Qiqi's words in his heart: be ruthless to the end and don't show any weakness! Whoever shows weakness first will lose.
He glared at Hongying with wide eyes and said fiercely, "You bitch, what are you thinking? I wouldn't take someone like you even if you were given to me for free. Don't worry, I don't hit women."
"You're going to report this to the authorities? Then hurry up and settle this matter. The county magistrate is like a mouse before a cat when he sees Qiqi; he'll sentence him however Qiqi tells him to."
Hongying didn't know if Erzhuzi was telling the truth, but as a powerless widow, she could easily bribe the county magistrate with just a little money. Besides, she and Erzhuzi had nothing between them, so she didn't dare to report him to the authorities!
Hongying was still putting on a brave face. She said slyly, "Then I'll go out and shout it from the rooftops. I'll tell everyone that you bullied me and then denied it, so that everyone knows what kind of person you are!"
Erzhuzi laughed shamelessly: "Go ahead, I'll go with you. I'll tell everyone how you threw yourself at me, how I rejected you, how you got angry and shameless, and how you tried to extort money from me with your child!"
"Don't worry about people not believing me. Qiqi has already gone to your village. She has the money; she'll definitely find a few people willing to testify about your affair with them. There will be plenty of evidence and witnesses. Even if they really believe I had something going on with you, I'm an honest, simple person. I was just bewitched by you. Let's see who's shameless then!"

Hongying could hardly believe her ears. Erzhuzi had actually sent someone to investigate her background. She was afraid that her shameful past would be discovered, so she used this opportunity to vent her emotions by saying how many people were after her and how she had remained chaste.
Once this investigation is conducted, nothing can be hidden anymore. Moreover, judging from Erzhuzi's words, Tang Qiqi went there with money. Even if he didn't do those things, she can still fabricate something out of nothing.
Hongying's defenses completely crumbled; Erzhuzi was even more shameless than she was.
Wait a minute, he was completely at a loss this morning. Suddenly, Hongying realized something and said belatedly, "You keep talking about 'seven sevens,' it must be that little hussy who gave you the idea, right?"
Tang Qiqi had already returned leisurely. She said smugly, "That's right, that's the plan I came up with. But Hongying, I really admire you. You set up such a good persona. You act like a pure and innocent lotus in the village, but you work as a prostitute in town. You've hidden it very well!"
"You're spouting nonsense!" Hongying immediately lost her composure!
Tang Qiqi remained calm and composed, saying indifferently, "Whether this is true or false, we'll know by asking Granny Liu. By the way, your patrons have been praising your skills to the skies!"
Tang Qiqi spoke with such conviction that Hongying knew it was too late to say anything.
Tang Qiqi persisted, saying, "My mother took pity on you and gave you a job. You could have escaped your dark past, but you have a wicked heart. You shouldn't have taken advantage of my Uncle Zhuzi's honesty and tried to bully my family. I will never let you get away with this!"
Hongying slumped to the ground, utterly dejected. "What are you going to do to me?" she asked helplessly.

"I will make sure everyone in your village and Tangjiagou knows who you are, and I will clear my Uncle Zhu's name!"
Seeing that Tang Qiqi had figured out Hongying's background, Erzhuzi reverted to his usual self, waving his hand and saying, "I'm fine, as long as Hongying doesn't insist on marrying me!"
"We can't let her off so easily. My mother and grandmother treated her so well, but she repaid kindness with enmity. She doesn't deserve any sympathy!" Tang Qiqi said coldly, her smile fading.
"I beg you, please don't tell anyone about me. If people find out I'm a prostitute, how will my three children ever face anyone again!" Hongying pleaded.
"Why didn't you do this earlier? It's no use begging me now!" Tang Qiqi said solemnly.
Xu Lanzhi and Wang Shi were still worried about Erzhuzi and Hongying, so they also came to check on them.
When Hongying saw Xu Lanzhi, she had long forgotten how much she hated her before. She cried and begged Xu Lanzhi, "Madam Xu, please save me! We can't let everyone know about my past. We can't let my child be ashamed to face anyone!"
Xu Lanzhi was completely bewildered. After finding out what had happened, she was also shocked.
Hongying, a woman, became a prostitute to support her child. Although this was wrong, and many people would consider it immoral and outrageous, Xu Lanzhi saw it as nothing more than a mother forced into this situation to support her child.
What angered her was that Hongying was twisting the truth and trying to frame Erzhuzi, which was enough to show that she was an untrustworthy person.

Wang was not so enlightened. Thinking about how she had been fooled by Hongying a few days ago and even recognized her as her goddaughter, she was furious.
She scolded with a stern face: "Hongying, you shameless slut, how could you use such despicable means to harm people, and even make me, an old woman, act as your matchmaker? I'll beat you to death!" As she spoke, Wang hit Hongying.
Xu Lanzhi quickly stopped her, saying, "Mother, don't hit her anymore. Although Hongying did something wrong, she has served you these past few days. Even if she hasn't done anything meritorious, she has still worked hard. Please forgive her!"
Hongying also hurriedly kowtowed to Madam Wang: "Grandma, I know I was wrong, but I truly treated you as an elder and was very filial to you. I will never do such a thing again. I will behave myself and serve you as your maid. Please forgive me!"
Xu Lanzhi said coldly, "Hongying, things have escalated to this point, you can't stay in our family anymore. Take the children and leave!"
Xu Lanzhi spoke so resolutely that Hongying panicked. She grabbed Xu Lanzhi's hand and said, "Madam Xu, you can't send me away. I'm raising three children alone. If you don't take care of me, we'll all die."
"Mrs. Xu, I beg you, I promise I will be a good person from now on and never do anything bad again!"
Xu Lanzhi withdrew her hand and said, "Hongying, I'm willing to help others, but I'm not a pushover. My Tang family won't keep an eye on people with wicked intentions. Considering you've cared for the three children, I'll give you one hundred taels of silver. Take the children and move to another place to live! Leave this place of trouble and start anew!"
Seeing Xu Lanzhi's resolute words, Hongying went to plead with Wang Shi: "Godmother, please don't send me away. I'm willing to be your family's servant. Only in the Tang family can my child live like a human being!"
Wang looked at Hongying with disgust and said, "If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. We won't tell anyone about your past, but you can't stay in our house any longer. Go back now, pack your things, and take the children with you!"

Hongying went to plead with Erzhuzi again: "Brother Zhuzi, it's my fault. I was bewitched and wanted to live with you. I will never dare to do it again. Please talk to Madam Xu and ask her to let me stay!"
Erzhuzi quickly stepped aside and said, "Hongying, you're a terrible woman. You've turned black into white. Who knows what you'll do in the future? Sister-in-law Lanzhi is right. You should stay far away. It's better for everyone that way!"
Tang Qiqi didn't want to listen to her rambling and said directly, "Hongying, I advise you to take the money and leave with the child while I'm in a good mood. Otherwise, if I change my mind, you won't get a single penny!"
Although Tang Qiqi was just a child, Hongying had personally witnessed her methods and knew that this girl was capable of doing what she said.
Having no other choice, Hongying took the silver given to her by Xu Lanzhi, packed her things, and left with the children!
Peach Blossom cried and said, "Mother, didn't you say we could stay with Grandma from now on? I don't want to go back. Grandma, I'll help you with the chores, please don't send us away!"
Although Wang felt reluctant, she was utterly disappointed in Hongying. She said to Taohua, "Child, go with your mother and be a good person from now on!"
