"Mom, are you really going to let them spread rumors? They're putting you on the fire!"
"I would be fooled if I cared about such a small matter. If I don't care, what can you do to me?"
"That's right. If this method is really useful for a weak woman in this world, it will be useless if we don't pay attention to it."
"That being said, he pissed me off when he did that."
"How is Mom going to deal with him?"
"Use the person's method!"
"Congcong come here"
Congcong flew in slowly and took eight-character steps on the table.
"What are you doing? You're smart but you're stupid."
Bai Zhiyue was speechless. She often teased him by calling him "silly bird" and he still held a grudge against her.
"Okay, stop calling me silly bird and just tell me whether you'll do it or not!"
As soon as she looked at him, Congcong stood at attention.
"Go, go, go, you just know how to threaten me."
"Call a few helpers to go to Yushi Wu's house to find out the situation. Communicate with his fellow family members and see if we can get some useful information."
"The Wu Huacheng family, who are so poor that they can only afford to live in a house with two courtyards and not even a few decent furnishings in the house?"
"Um!"
Ever since it brought a flock of birds to our house for a few big meals, we have become good friends, so every household in the capital has talked about them.
"Okay, wait for my news."
"Mother, so many daughters sent by high-ranking officials may not be granted the title of consort, but Censor Wu's daughter was granted the title of consort. The emperor must value him very much."
"It's not necessarily that he values it. The Emperor doesn't like concubines in the palace whose families have too much power. Although the Censor is of the first rank, he has always claimed to be loyal to the Emperor.
Censor Wu didn't belong to any particular faction, and the Emperor didn't want the censors watching him every day. He wanted to recruit someone into the harem and use his sharp tongue to win over others. He was just using him, not necessarily favoring him.
Not someone you want to meet.
"Is that so? Then it's okay for us to move him!"
"What could possibly happen? If one falls, there's always another. The Emperor has no shortage of big talk."
Congcong came back before dark.
"Yueyue, I'm back!"
"Did you find anything useful?"
“It’s a must, absolutely!”
The rumors in the capital have spread so widely, I don't believe she won't come forward.
[Marquis Pingnan was quite proactive this time, and quite a few people showed up.]
[Humph, you're just like me, embarrassed by the Bai family last time, and you're holding a grudge against me.]
[But what if her father still refuses to step forward? ]
[I have already thought of a countermeasure. I will ask Pingnan Hou to find more people, pretend to be civilians, stir up public anger and make trouble outside her mansion. Even if she doesn't care about the rumors, her reputation will be ruined.
Join a few more people and report her. Don't even think about getting away with it.]
"They're planning to have their men disguise themselves as civilians and surround our house, hoping to provoke unsuspecting people into causing trouble."
"It's no surprise that Pingnan Hou was behind us. They were the two who wanted us dead the most at the time."
"What else did you hear?"
“This melon is huge.”
"I'll go tell the Marquis of Pingnan about this. You go get the money and recruit more people. Then, follow behind the Marquis of Pingnan's men. Make as much noise as you can. Even if you get caught, don't be afraid. Let them insist you're following the Marquis of Pingnan's men. Do you understand?"
[My father is really amazing. This is killing two birds with one stone!]
[Humph, that old bastard Pingnan Hou wants to use me to get ahead, so I will use him too.]
"Do you know where his son Wu Shian got the money? What did he do with it?"
"Did you find out where he kept the silver?"
"Smart! The Wu family looks poor and usually pretends to live an ordinary life, but in fact they have a lot of silver hidden in the house, all built into the wall.
I personally saw Wu Shian remove a wall brick in Wu Huacheng's room and take out dozens of silver ingots, and there were still many inside.
"Oh, what an honest censor! Their mouths are the source of their wealth. For example, if they want to report someone, and the person doesn't want to be reported, they have to pay him to shut his mouth.
For example, some things can be big or small in their mouths, and if they want to make it small, they have to give them some money to sweeten their mouths. Integrity? How many officials in this world are truly honest, upright, and dedicated to the government? I am afraid that they can't survive."
"The biggest news is not that there are silver walls in his house, but that his son bribed some people and went to live with his father's mistress."
[Here I come, darling! Look what I bought for you?]
[Shian, why did you come so late? I missed you so much. Nothing can make me happier than having you come to see me.]
"Having said that, his hand didn't hesitate at all as he took over the gold bracelet that Wu Shian bought with the money his father gave him."
[Oh, that's perfect! How did you know I need this size?]
[Just touch it a few more times and you'll know. I know you can't even hold it with one hand!]
【Death~】
"Shared by father and son?"
"Yes, it's probably because Wu Shian himself has no money, and the censor's money is strictly controlled. The family's monthly expenses are limited, and he doesn't have any extra money to go out and drink and find women.
Ever since he found out that his father had a mistress outside, the first thing he did was not to tell his mother, but to follow her to the mistress's house.
Then he was irresistibly attracted to that woman. After finding out his father's schedule, he would go there whenever he had time. Taking advantage of his father's orders to do things, he would always give her extra money.
"This woman is amazing, making money on both ends. But this is a good opportunity to embarrass Wu Huacheng."
"Qinglian, go deliver a letter to the Censor's wife and tell her I have something to discuss with Madam Jiang. Tell her in front of Censor Wu. I'm sure he'll persuade her to come even if she doesn't want to. Lead her to Linglong Pavilion and offer her a cup of tea."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Hongying, go call Yandong!"
"yes"
"Aren't you afraid she won't come, mother?"
"Of course I won't miss it. Censor Wu must want to know what I have to say to her. He might think I'm worried about the rumors and wants him to help me put in a good word with the Emperor."
"Will he rip you off?"
"Heh, let's see who knocks who!"
"Madam, you called me!"
Yan Dong answered from outside the door
"Come in, I have something for you to do."
"What's the matter, ma'am?"
"Didn't you say you knew some street thugs? Here are 100 taels of silver. Tell them to call some more brothers and beggars and go to Yongkang Lane to wait for instructions."
Yan Dong didn't ask what the matter was. He just took the money and went to find someone. Anyway, he just had to follow orders.
"Let's go, let's go to Linglong Pavilion and wait for Mrs. Jiang."
After two cups of tea, Mrs. Jiang arrived.
He was about forty years old, dressed casually, but his eyes flashed with disdain for Bai Zhiyue.
"Mrs. Jiang, please take a seat."
“Madam Rongfu is so polite. I have never interacted with her before. Why did you come to see me?
I believe you are aware of the rumors outside. You are still showing up in the restaurant at this time. Madam, you are not afraid of what people say, but I don't want to be implicated."
