Lin Suisui wasn’t only going to invite the county governor, who was still unaware of this matter, but also the citizens of Cloud Mountain City, who were filled with reverence and admiration for this ritual.

Ruan Yu sat in the room as she listened to the vomiting and screams outside, but her expression was calm.

It was only when the shadow guard dragged the county governor, who could no longer walk upright, in that she raised her eyes slightly and looked at County Governor Tang, who was sprawled on the table like a dead dog.

“Does it look nice?”

Hearing Lin Suisui’s question, County Governor Tang couldn’t help but shiver. He turned to look at Lin Suisui, who was sitting at the head of the table. As if he had seen a ghost, he slid to his knees in terror.

“Help, help. This, they…”

“They’re humans that used to live in Cloud Mountain City. Although they’re a little down and out, they’re still residents of Cloud Mountain City.

But because of your negligence, they became like this.”

Lin Suisui’s tone was very calm, but her words still made County Governor Tang, who was used to all sorts of incidents, so frightened that he was unable to get up.

“I really don’t know!”

County Governor Tang took a long time to catch his breath. Then, he explained to Lin Suisui, “Usually, if someone really gets lost, someone will report it to the officials.

However, as you know, these beggars and vagrants usually wander around. Who would pay attention to them?

We thought that they might have gone to another place to stay, but who would have thought that they would be brought here…”

Even after half a day, County Governor Tang couldn’t help but retch when he thought of what he had just seen.

It was too terrifying!

Was that really something a human being was capable of doing?!

“Yes, you can say that no one reported the fact that these beggars were captured to the authorities. But did no one really report them?”

As Lin Suisui spoke, Bai Guo, who was beside her, had already thrown a stack of words in front of County Governor Tang.

“I got someone to ask around. In the past three months, there were more than ten missing people reports of homeless people.

But County Governor Tang, did you deal with even a single missing person report?”

County Governor Tang lowered his head and took a look at the papers. Immediately, he couldn’t help but tremble.

“Also, do you really not know about the ritual, or did you accept the 300 taels of silver from the oracle there as hush money?”

As Lin Suisui spoke, Bai Guo threw two more testimonies in front of County Governor Tang.

“I really didn’t expect this ritual to disregard human lives like this! If, if…”

County Governor Tang didn’t expect Lin Suisui to expose him and he wanted to explain, but he realized that all his explanations seemed useless in front of the evidence.

“County Governor Tang, do you know who the true owner of this ritual is?”

Lin Suisui stared at County Governor Tang for a long time before continuing to ask.

“No, it’s not the oracle…”

County Governor Tang didn’t dare to continue.

After all, he knew very well that the more he said, the more he would incriminate himself.

Did their daughter have to become sisters with a prostitute in the future?

Madam Feng couldn’t help but pinch her handkerchief and chuckle as she said, “Don’t worry, Sixth Master has evil intentions but doesn’t have the guts to carry them out!”

Her eyes were filled with disdain and contempt for her husband.

“Besides, even if he has the guts to welcome Miss Qiao’er into the residence, do you think my mother-in-law will agree?

Even if my mother-in-law couldn’t resist the Sixth Master’s pleading and agreed, do you think the aunt above her is a pushover?

Unless the Duke doesn’t care about his reputation anymore, letting a prostitute enter the Duke’s residence is impossible!”

Madam Feng didn’t panic at all. Instead, she turned around and smiled as she comforted her.

“Don’t worry. 1 know how to live my life.

Even if we’re in a quagmire now, we can’t let ourselves suffer!

Let’s wait a little longer.

With Sixth Master’s current enthusiasm, not only will trying to persuade him be useless, but it will also make him hate us.

We’re all living in this residence, so there’s no need for us to offend him.”

As Madam Feng spoke, she walked in the direction of her courtyard.

Coincidentally, Madam Feng bumped into Ruan Yu, who was coming from another road.

“Auntie.”

Since they had already met, it was naturally impossible to pretend not to see her. Ruan Yu smiled politely at Madam Feng and bowed.

“Sister-in-law.” Madam Feng returned the greeting very politely. Seeing the direction Ruan Yu was traveling in, she asked, “Are you leaving the residence?” “Yes.” Ruan Yu nodded and replied very calmly, “Ninth Master just sent a message saying that my brother is looking for me for something, so I’m going out to meet him.”

“Then 1 won’t hold you up.”

Madam Feng nodded in understanding and didn’t ask further. She took a step to the side considerately and gestured for Ruan Yu to go ahead.

Ruan Yu didn’t stand on ceremony. After she thanked Madam Feng, she turned to leave.

“She’s really beautiful.”

After Ruan Yu walked away, Xi Lai, who was helping Madam Feng walk in the middle of the road, couldn’t help but marvel, “And she also has a good personality.”

“How do you know she has a good personality?”

Hearing Xi Lai’s praise, Madam Feng couldn’t help but tease, “I remember that you’ve never interacted with her before.”

“Yesterday. Didn’t you ask me to deliver snacks to Madam? 1 happened to hear a few sisters in Madam’s courtyard talking about Ninth Young Madam.

They said that she had a meek personality and was very agreeable.

Old Madam Gu and the others were called over to talk yesterday. When they came out, they each received a big pouch. Seeing how happy they were when they came out, they knew that Ninth Young Madam definitely wasn’t stingy. But then again, although Ninth Young Madam has a good temper, our Madam doesn’t seem to like her.

It’s better for you to avoid her in the future, lest Madam scolds you when she finds out.”

Xi Lai nagged at Madam Feng about the news she had heard about Ruan Yu yesterday. Then, she reminded her worriedly..
