Liu seemed to have taken Jiang Yuwei's words to heart, and she nodded at Jiang Yuwei with a resolute look in her eyes:
"Okay, Yuwei, thank you. I've remembered everything you said. I know you mean well, and I will do as you say."
Jiang Yuwei was very pleased that Liu was willing to listen to advice, so she said to Liu:
"Then I'll head back now. I still have chores to do at home. If you need anything later, you can come find me in the courtyard."
After bidding farewell to Liu, Jiang Yuwei headed towards her own courtyard. On the way, she saw a woman with a voluptuous figure walking towards her with a man in her arms. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Xu Qianqian embracing a plump man dressed in fine clothes.
Jiang Yuwei felt annoyed and wanted to leave quickly, but Xu Qianqian deliberately walked right into her path, blocking her way and speaking softly to the man beside her:
“Master Xu, look at her. She’s the woman I told you about. She was harassed by the scoundrels in our village, yet she still acts so arrogantly and domineeringly in our village. She has no manners whatsoever. If it were me, I would have already hanged myself at home with a white cloth. How could I have the face to wander around like this!”
After saying that, Xu Qianqian looked Jiang Yuwei up and down with disdain.
Jiang Yuwei raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Qianqian:
"Hey, isn't this the widow who cursed her husband's whole family to death? You're so tough, hanging yourself with a piece of white cloth at home? Why don't you go die now? You killed your husband and then found some old geezer, what's going on? Aren't you ashamed? You even paraded around our village with your entourage, what? Are you afraid people won't know you've found a living father?"
Upon hearing this, Master Xu's face darkened, and he glared at Xu Qianqian, angrily saying:
"Qianqian, what kind of people are in your village? I told you I didn't want to come, but you insisted. What's so interesting about this run-down village?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei naturally understood Xu Qianqian's intention, and then smiled and said:
"Oh, you probably don't know, but Xu Qianqian doesn't have a very good reputation in our village. She's had shady dealings with several men in the village, and now she's found someone like you..."
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei looked Mr. Xu up and down, and slowly said:
"With a fat, bloated father like you, she has to drag you to our Ningjia Village to show off properly. Otherwise, why would she want you? Is it because you're old? Or because you don't bathe?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Xu Qianqian immediately flew into a rage and cursed:
"You, Jiang Yuwei, are you deliberately trying to make me unhappy? Don't try to drag me into this. I'm a very virtuous woman. Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"
Mr. Xu was so angry at Jiang Yuwei's words that he couldn't breathe and kept pounding his chest. Seeing this, Xu Qianqian was afraid that something might happen to him, so she quickly reached out to pat his back and kept comforting him:
“Master Xu, don’t listen to this slut’s nonsense. I’m with you because you’re a good person. I can see that you’re sincere to me. The gentleness you show me is something no one else has ever experienced. It’s my honor that you’re willing to be with me.”
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei couldn't bear it any longer and started dry heaving.
"No, Xu Qianqian, you're such a good actress! You can say such insincere things without even blushing. I think being a widow is beneath you. You should be an opera singer!"
Seeing that Jiang Yuwei was relentless, Xu Qianqian suddenly regretted stopping her earlier, but with Master Xu present, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.
"Jiang Yuwei, stop talking nonsense. How could you possibly understand my feelings for Master Xu? A cold-blooded and heartless person like you will never understand how deep my affection for Master Xu is."
Jiang Yuwei raised an eyebrow, glanced at Master Xu, then at Xu Qianqian, and laughed heartily;
"Hahaha, seriously? This is the funniest thing I've heard all year! You, you two? Deeply in love? I think you're just greedy for money!"
Upon hearing this, Master Xu's face immediately turned cold, and he looked at Xu Qianqian and said in a deep voice:
"Qianqian, do you love my money or me as a person?"
When Xu Qianqian saw that Master Xu was asking this question, she hurriedly explained:
“Mr. Xu, how can you not believe my love for you? Jiang Yuwei is a madwoman. Don’t listen to her. Let’s go quickly. My parents are waiting at home.”
As she spoke, Xu Qianqian glared at Jiang Yuwei:
"Get out of our way!"
Jiang Yuwei sneered and looked at Xu Qianqian before slowly speaking:
"You wouldn't let me leave earlier, and now you want to kick me out? Too late! I won't let you! If you want to leave, take another route!"
Mr. Xu's face turned red with anger at Jiang Yuwei:
"You, you, you are absolutely unreasonable!"
Jiang Yuwei looked at Master Xu's flushed face and laughed:
"Can I be more unreasonable than your daughter Xu Qianqian? Because she failed to seduce my husband, she sought revenge by having Zhang Laizi from our village molest me. She said that if Zhang Laizi succeeded, she would sleep with him every day. Bah! You treat this kind of trash like a treasure and even followed her to Ningjia Village. Aren't you afraid that the people in our village will gossip about you?"
Upon hearing these words, Master Xu's face turned ashen, and he glared at Xu Qianqian through gritted teeth, angrily saying:
"Xu Qianqian! Was everything that woman said just now true? Are you really that capable?"
Xu Qianqian panicked, immediately took out her handkerchief, and cried with tears streaming down her face:
"Mr. Xu, Qianqian has been bullied like this, yet you still believe her and not me..."
Jiang Yuwei spoke calmly with an innocent expression:
"Don't believe me, just go to the village and ask around, you'll know for sure."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian almost choked on her breath. She quickly steadied herself, leaned softly against Old Master Xu's chest, and wiped away her tears, sobbing:
“Master Xu, I have been wronged so badly that I have nowhere to turn. You must help me. I only trust you. You are my pillar of support.”
Jiang Yuwei added insult to injury:
"Tsk tsk, the backbone? I think she's a complete traitor! In broad daylight, under the clear sky, she dares to hug and kiss you like that on the street. What kind of good person do you think she is?"
Mr. Xu's expression stiffened further after Jiang Yuwei's words, and he directly pushed Xu Qianqian, who was leaning against him, away.
"Ahem, be more mindful of your behavior in front of outsiders in the future, otherwise it won't be good for either of our reputations."
Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but burst out laughing again:
"Haha, no, you're already with her, why are you still worried about your reputation? To be honest, Xu Qianqian's reputation in all the surrounding villages is already ruined!"
