“Besides, the herbs on the mountain grew in our Cao family’s own land. How did we take advantage of Chu Heng?”

“Hey, why didn’t you say that it was a medicinal herb in the past? I think they were all rotting in the ground, right?” Madam Liu argued with reason. For a shameless person like Madam Xu, the angrier she was, the happier Lady Liu was.

“That’s right. Madam Xu, you’re wrong. Lady Ye kindly taught us how to identify herbs. It’s fine if you don’t come to thank her with gifts, but now you’re even ruining Scholar Chu’s reputation. This is a problem with your character.”

“I didn’t expect the Cao family to think this way.”

“I wonder if the people of the Chu family know.”

“What are you talking about?” Madam Qian came to her son’s new house as usual. Since the courtyard had not been repaired and the village had been robbed previously, she was worried that the building materials would be robbed.

Therefore, she would come over to watch it four or five times a day.

As soon as she walked closer today, she heard someone quarreling.

This time, it was rather strange.

It was actually a group of people quarreling with one person. In the past, the villagers would just watch the commotion, right?

“Madam Qian? You’re finally here!” When Lady Liu saw Madam Qian, surprise flashed in her eyes. In a few words, she told her everything that Madam Xu had just said.

“Madam Qian, do you think the Chu family will do anything about the Cao family’s eldest daughter-in-law slandering Scholar Chu’s reputation?”

“What?” Madam Qian was furious when she heard this. She asked in a harsh voice, “Hey, did you say anything that slandered Chu Heng’s reputation?”

Madam Xu was already furious at the villagers’ words, and now that she was questioned by Madam Qian, her anger flared up.

“So what if I said it? You dare to do it yourself, but I don’t dare to say it?” She was also extremely angry, but she thought of a way. Since the Chu family was unwilling to help the Cao family, she would directly destroy Chu Heng’s reputation. At that time, the Chu family would have something to ask of her. After all, if they wanted to restore their reputation, they would have to make her change her words. When Madam Xu thought of Chu Heng begging her humbly, she was happy and her face became even more smug!

However, Madam Xu did not expect, or perhaps she did not want to think, that Chu Heng was much more important than her. If it really came to what she said, the Chu family would definitely force the Cao family to make her apologize, and not Chu Heng begging her.

Now, Madam Xu, who was not very clear-headed, would not understand this.

“Alright, alright, alright.” Madam Qian was so angry that she said, “So your Cao family is such a heartless thing. Even I won’t allow you to ruin the reputation of my Chu family’s scholars.”

“Everyone is watching. Should we hit such a person?”

“She deserves to be beaten!” These villagers had just been angered by Madam Xu and could not stand her either.

Lady Liu was fanning the flames.

Madam Qian soon pounced on Madam Xu and beat her up.

“Hey… Stop hitting me, you shrews!”

“Let’s see if you’ll still talk bad of others! I’ll make sure to slap you until your face is swollen!” “Quick, pull her hair.”

“Hold her legs down.”

In less than fifteen minutes, with Madam Qian taking the lead and Lady Liu assisting, the news of many villagers ganging up on the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family, Madam Xu, spread throughout the village, and the reason was also spread methodically.

“Madam, something big has happened.”

Ye Muyu was boiling soup in the kitchen when she heard Zhang Cong’s anxious voice coming from the courtyard..
