"Okay, I've done it for you. You should have gotten over what happened today, so how about we just let it go?"
You thought about it, but I don't like it.
"Oh, you guys started the rumor in the first place, so it's your job to quell and correct it, not to help me.
If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten to mention that what you did caused me serious mental damage. Each of you must pay me 50,000 taels of silver as compensation, and send it to my house tomorrow. Otherwise, humph!"
Wu Huacheng wanted to faint. Could he pretend that he had not spoken to her at all when he fainted?
After finishing the work, it was time to go home. After leaving the yard, he took out another hundred taels and gave it to Yan Dong.
"Thank you all for your hard work today, please give them some extra money for their tea."
The one who was familiar with Yan Dong had a smile on his face.
"I am Ma Dong, the same name as Brother Yan. Madam, if you have anything to ask in the future, please feel free to ask me. I, Ma Dong, will definitely do it beautifully for you."
Bai Zhilan knew that this type of people only cared about money, and if you took them seriously, you'd be a fool. But sometimes, it wasn't necessarily a bad idea to ask them for help when your own family couldn't.
So she is not stingy with money. If someone takes the initiative to express their respect, she will give them a good face.
"I heard Yandong talk about you, and I want to thank you for the information you provided. I hope to hear rumors about the Wu family tomorrow."
"Madam, just wait for the good news. I'll have people spread the word to the restaurants, casinos, and red houses when I get back. I guarantee that the news will spread throughout the capital before tomorrow."
"Okay, Mr. Ma is straightforward and the matter needs to be done urgently. If you don't have enough money, just tell Yan Dong."
Ma Dong is happier
"I understand!"
Bai Zhiyue went back happily, but the Wu family could not feel at peace.
He asked the servants to carry the family and tie up Yun'er and return to Wu's house. He first asked a doctor to check the family's injuries. He was too embarrassed to ask the imperial physician. He couldn't explain why his family members were beaten like this.
Jiang was fine, it was just a muscle injury. Wu Huacheng had more injuries on his back, arms and shoulders, but they were not serious problems. He just needed to rest for a while and he would be fine. Only Wu Shijie's condition was not good.
"Madam, the young master has injured his lungs and two broken ribs. He must take good care of himself during this period, otherwise he might develop a chronic illness in the future."
It can be seen how much strength Wu Huacheng used to hit
When Jiang heard this, she wished she could beat Wu Huacheng a few more times for being so harsh with his own son.
"Doctor, feel free to use any good medicine you have, as long as it can help my son get well soon. He hasn't even married or had children yet, so we can't leave him with any underlying illness."
"Don't worry, ma'am. I will do my best."
Wu Shijie kept crying out in pain, howling.
"Mom, I'm in pain, please ask the doctor to give me some medicine, I'd rather faint, wuwuwu, save me~"
Oh, how miserable it is.
The woman named Yun'er was even more miserable. No one thought of treating her. Wu Huacheng was busy with his own affairs and felt sorry for the money he was blackmailed. He also had to go to the Pingnan Marquis's house to report the news. He had no time to feel the pain of his injuries, so how could he remember others?
He went to Pingnan Marquis Mansion overnight
"What's wrong with you? Who is so bold as to attack the First Rank Imperial Censor?"
"Don't worry about my injury for now. Bai Zhiyue found out about our plan and told me to tell you that she's not afraid of this kind of tactics. If we don't stop, she'll make us suffer."
"You won't be scared by her words, will you?"
"Don't be so ungrateful. If I had just said that, I would have ended up like this, and why would I have come to you in the middle of the night?
She had long guessed it was us who did it, and secretly sent people to investigate us, knowing some of our secrets. If you don't believe me, don't blame me if something goes wrong tomorrow."
"What's unknown?"
"She has found out everything about my family. Unless I have nothing to hide from others, I will be exposed to the Emperor."
"You are being..."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I bought a house outside and raised a concubine. Who knew that my useless son would fall in love with her? The two of them were publicly...
Don't think this is funny. She said that if you insist on continuing to attack, you will be the next one to get into trouble. She is not afraid of our power or our methods. "
What happened today cannot be concealed, so just tell it. We must persuade Marquis Pingnan.
Pingnan Hou stroked his beard and did not laugh at Wu Huacheng. He was thinking that this old guy was always cautious. Everyone in the court knew that he insisted on his own opinions on political affairs. No matter who had a problem, he dared to speak up and criticize them.
Apart from one wife, he had no concubines, and his living and food were always ordinary. Even the emperor was impressed by his integrity and chose his daughter to enter the palace as a concubine.
There was no trace left outside, and even he didn't hear a word about such a thing. It was dug out by that woman from the Bai family within three or four days.
What about his own family affairs? Who in the imperial court doesn't have things that cannot be told to outsiders?
"She knows everything we have to do tomorrow?"
"Of course, otherwise why would she let me tell you? She even knows it was you who came up with the idea."
This is a lie. I said it on purpose for Marquis Pingnan to hear.
"She demanded that we change whatever we said and that each of us pay her fifty thousand taels of silver."
"What did you say?"
Only then did Pingnan Hou become furious and truly felt the fire burning on his head.
"Why?"
"What we did caused her mental damage and made her angry."
"What do you mean by mental damage? Where does that come from?"
"We had people scolding and slandering her, damaging her reputation and making her feel bad."
“That’s just bullshit.”
"She has something that can threaten us"
"Who knows if what she said is true or not?"
"Anyway, I know it's true!"
There was definitely no need to do what they were going to do tomorrow, because the other party had already seen through their plan. However, it would be too much to ask them to send someone to spread the rumor again and pay compensation.
"You go back first, I need to think about this!"
"Anyway, I have to give it to you. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not."
Wu Huacheng had no choice. His affairs were completely exposed to the Bai family. If he didn't do as he was told, the result would definitely not be what he wanted to see.
I've seen how crazy that woman can be before, and I can't beat her, so what else can I do?
Wu Huacheng only felt the pain in his body when he was walking back. Every step he took was so painful that he wanted to lie down on the spot.
"That bitch was so damn cruel."
Don't think about how he was even more cruel when he beat his son
After he left, Marquis Pingnan first sent someone to tell the bribed person to cancel tomorrow's event.
Then he hesitated between believing or not believing that the Bai family had something on him.
"If I destroy everything today, she won't have any evidence even if she knows."
He did what he thought and went to the study alone, driving everyone away.
But he didn't expect Bai Zhiyue was already staring at him.
When he made a request to Wu Huacheng, he knew that Marquis Pingnan would not agree easily.
I didn't know he was involved before, and I didn't actually have any evidence against him, so I followed him just to see what he would do after hearing this request.
Whether something will be exposed, it seems that the bet was right.
