Chapter 246 -247 Just Don’t Wear It!_1

“We didn’t mean it like that——” Those who were gossiping still felt somewhat guilty.

Xiangcai spoke up directly, her voice loud and clear, “Then what do you mean? You’d rather believe a stranger’s few words than trust in Muniang’s character. After all, we’ve known her for a long time. Don’t you know how principled she is? When the Qiao family kicked her out, did she ever ask them for help? All these years, hasn’t she gotten by on her own through her hardships? How could such a woman of principles become someone’s concubine?”

Her words shamed everyone; their faces flushed, unable to lift their heads. Not to mention the great benefits Muniang brought to the village; nearly all the villagers who could embroider worked in Muniang’s embroidery room. The wages they received were almost twice that of the town’s, adding much-needed income to their households. Yet, now they were swayed by someone’s provocations and started to gossip behind her back, which was indeed very mean-spirited.

Suddenly, a foul smell wafted over, and everyone covered their noses and looked to see Mrs. Ji still sitting on the ground. Yu Ze had been gone for quite a while, and she sat there as if paralyzed by fear. A glance down at her skirt made everyone realize where the foul smell was coming from.

The group of women almost jumped away from Mrs. Ji, disdainfully saying, “She was the one who talked the most about others just now, and yet she’s the one who’s least able to handle a scare. Just a look from that man reduced her to this sorry state; it’s so pathetic!”

Xiangcai looked on with contempt, “Who knows if it’s because she’s a coward or because she’s done too many shameful things, huh!”

Having said so much, Mrs. Ji still sat there motionlessly, and even when normally she would love to argue, now she remained silent in the face of Xiangcai’s taunts.

Not wanting to endure the stench any longer, everyone began to disperse.

And truth be told, Xiangcai was right; Mrs. Ji was frightened, especially by the look Yu Ze gave her at the end. It was scarier than any wolf or leopard. He wouldn’t seek revenge on her, would he? After all, she was the one who spread the rumor most joyfully!

When Yu Ze returned home, the whole courtyard was quiet. As soon as the servant saw him, he hurriedly opened the door with respect.

“Where is Lady?” he asked.

“She is talking in the old lady’s room,” the servant replied.

Yu Ze strode off before the servant could even think to stop him or dare to do so, leaving him stomping his foot in frustration.

“What kind of misfortune has befallen us to get involved in such troubles? Initially, when you and Haoli got married while he was simple-minded, I also felt bad for you. But later, seeing the two of you getting along so well eased my concern. After all, those so-called normal men are no treasures either. You and Haoli being happy together is what matters most. But now——” Mrs. Lin had yet to finish when she burst into tears again.

Muniang quickly comforted her, “Mother, isn’t everything fine? I’m alright; why are you upset over such things?”

“What do you mean, fine? I thought once he regained his senses, he would take some of the burden off your shoulders. But now? He’s worse than when he was simple-minded! He just left you and went off. What’s so special about that woman?” Mrs. Lin had only Muniang for a daughter and could not bear to see her mistreated in any way. Everything that happened today made her feel a chill in her heart. Her own unhappy marriage had led to a lifetime of regret, and now how could she let her daughter walk down the same path?

Yu Ze gently knocked on the door, “Mother, it’s me.”

Mrs. Lin was taken aback. Hadn’t he left?

However, Muniang showed no change in expression, simply saying, “You rest now, Mother. I’ll go and talk to him.”

Mrs. Lin wanted to pull on Muniang’s hand and warn her, but looking at how Muniang was, she simply couldn’t bring herself to say anything and stayed silent.

Muniang opened the door to see Yu Ze, her eyes calm and undisturbed, “Mother is going to sleep, don’t disturb her.”

Yu Ze looked at Muniang, having had so much to say, but now he found himself speechless, just gazing intently at her.

Muniang came out and closed the door behind her, then headed straight for her own room.

Yu Ze grabbed her arm, “My dear lady, it’s all my fault. Please don’t be mad, okay?”

“I’m not in the mood to talk about this right now. It’s late, you should go rest.”

“My dear lady—”

Muniang glared at him, “Say one more word and I’ll have someone throw you out, believe it or not? This house is mine, and if you anger me again, I’ll throw you out directly!”

Yu Ze immediately clammed up, “I’ll go to sleep right now, right away! You should rest well, my dear lady.”

Muniang huffed and twisted her body to enter her own room.

Yu Ze shook his head helplessly, he had never coaxed a woman in his life, what should he do now? What did one do when they were foolish? Act cute? Be clingy?

Yu Ze’s face was covered with black lines, he’d rather die than do that.

The next morning, Muniang got up early to wash and groom herself. While Qingya was helping Muniang, she said, “Lady, I heard early this morning that there were many unpleasant rumors in the village, but last night they all vanished and no one dares to talk anymore. It was the master who went back to the village and personally sounded the warning for them.”

Muniang did not respond, and Qingya bit her lip before tentatively adding, “Lady, it’s said that the master was imposing last night, and Mrs. Ji was so scared she wet her pants. The master is still protective of you, lady—he thinks about you in everything, Lady—”

Muniang said in an indifferent tone, “He was the one who started the rumors in the first place, and now he goes to squash them, and I’m supposed to thank him?”

For a moment, Qingya was at a loss for words and decided to drop the subject.

After Qingya finished arranging Muniang’s hair, she glanced at the vanity and offered a silver hairpin to Muniang, “Still using this one?”

Muniang glanced at it, wasn’t it part of the silver jewelry set that he had bought for her long ago? She tossed the hairpin onto the table with displeasure, “Pick another one!”

Qingya responded awkwardly, “Lady, you haven’t bought many pieces of jewelry, there’s only this set, and all were bought by the master.”

Muniang stood up, puffing with anger, “Then I won’t wear any!”

Tears filled Qingya’s eyes, the days when the master and lady argued were truly heartbreaking.

“Prepare the carriage, we’re going to deliver food to Dongxing Building today. On the way, we’ll visit the Embroidery House in town. I can’t completely neglect my duties as the boss, can I?”

“Yes, I had the servants prepare the carriage early. After the lady has eaten, we can leave.”

When Yu Ze saw the servants preparing the carriage, he asked, “Going out today?”

“Yes, today is the day we deliver food to Dongxing Building.”

At the mention of Dongxing Building, Yu Ze’s heart skipped a beat, fearing the worst. How come it coincided like this! Wu Haoli, that fellow, must be gleefully waiting like a cat for a mouse at Dongxing Building! He remembered what Wu Haoli had provocatively said twice, “As for the future, who knows?”

Yu Ze’s face turned dark in an instant.
