As soon as the old maid from the Sun family stepped out, Hong Hehua, carrying about ten pounds of tofu, approached with a pleasing smile on her face.

The old maid let out a few “eh-eh” sounds, “I’m not buying tofu today, don’t hand it over.”

“It’s not for sale, it’s a gift for you!” Hong Hehua immediately smiled flatteringly.

The old maid, looking at the ten pounds of tofu, was puzzled.

Then she thought it must be an attempt to use her connections, seeking help from her master.

“It’s actually something someone asked us to deliver to Madam Sun. There was an incident in our village where people didn’t understand and forced the sister-in-law to divorce. Although it was unavoidable, it was wrong to upset her parents and brother. Please forgive us and don’t take it to heart…”

The old maid was stunned, her eyes gradually widening.

When had her young lady’s family ever had a divorce?

“Wait a minute, do you know who my master is? Did you get the wrong person?”

Zhao Mingyue, with a smile, stepped forward and said in surprise, “How could it be the wrong person? Isn’t this the well-known family of Captain Sun, Sun Gui?”

“How many Captain Suns are there in Xingcheng? Besides, just yesterday evening, Captain Sun personally went to Qili Village to seek justice for his brother-in-law, insisting that the divorced sister-in-law return to the Liu family.”

Daxi quickly packaged another few pounds of tofu and added, “Please, Aunt, speak a few more kind words to Madam Sun.”

Jiang Daxi, with quick hands, packed five or six more pounds of tofu and handed it forward, adding, “Yes, Aunt, the woman from Qili Village didn’t have a choice. The Liu family is really out of line!

I don’t mean to speak ill of your madam’s family, don’t take it to heart, but since the divorce has happened, could Madam Sun, as the elder sister, persuade her family to let it go…”

The old maid took a deep breath, calming herself, and reassured them, “Alright, I’ll talk to Madam, you wait here.”

No wonder yesterday, even though Sun Gui had a rest day, he claimed he had urgent business in the afternoon.

It turns out he was dealing with affairs related to an outside woman!

Sun Gui had risen to the position of captain with the help of the old master, and just when the young lady was beginning to enjoy a peaceful life, he started taking a concubine and supporting her;

Fortunately, the tofu vendors didn’t know the full story.

If they did, they wouldn’t dare to speak like this!

Zhao Mingyue, Jiang Daxi, and Hong Hehua looked at the old maid’s increasingly serious expression as she turned to rush back inside.

In a moment, she came out with an elegantly dressed woman.

They whispered as they walked and stopped when they saw the others.

The old maid stepped forward and asked, “You said yesterday afternoon that Captain Sun went to Qili Village. What’s the story behind it?”

The elegantly dressed woman stood aside with a disinterested expression.

Seemingly ignoring her, Zhao Mingyue sighed and spoke, “Sigh, it really can’t be blamed on Qili Village. They only brought the woman back because her life was unbearable in the Liu family. Originally, they had divorced, and under normal circumstances, it should’ve been no big deal.

Yesterday, for some reason, Liu Sheng brought a handsome young constable to the village chief’s house and demanded that the Jiang family woman return to the Liu family.

We overheard the young constable saying that ‘his father-in-law’s family is influential,’ ‘his father-in-law and brother-in-law think highly of him,’ and so on. Isn’t that exactly your madam’s family?”

“Exactly, I was close enough to hear Captain Sun say that he was determined to settle this matter, so his father-in-law and brother-in-law could hold their heads high in the village!” Jiang Daxi added.

“That young constable is really handsome, with soft, fair skin. I even wanted to touch his skin to see if it would feel wet,” Jiang Dabo blushed, scratching his head.

Hong Hehua teased, “Be careful, little brother, or you’ll get scolded! You can think about a woman, but you can’t think about that young constable!”

The old maid, seeing her young lady’s face darken at the mention of the ‘handsome young constable,’ and realizing that she was about to explode with anger, nervously tugged at her sleeve to remind her.

These people still didn’t know they had the wrong person, and if they did, they would definitely be too scared to speak.

That way, they would remain in the dark!

Madam Sun was so angry that she was almost spitting fire.

Her face was so dark that it seemed like it could drip water.

She took several deep breaths to suppress the anger boiling within her.

What handsome young constable?

He was nothing but a seducer!

Alright, so his surname is Liu, and his father-in-law and brother-in-law are involved.

How dare they dress up together and act like this?

They really took her for a fool!

Sun Gui truly thought he was enjoying a good life and had forgotten his place.

She took a deep breath and ordered, “Go, bring Sun Gui back here!”

The old maid hesitated and said, “He’s off today, and I don’t know where he went.”

Madam Sun coldly replied, “Where else would he be? He’s either with that filthy woman or at the yamen trying to rally support for her. No matter where he is, go to the yamen and find out. Get him back immediately!”

If everyone around her knew about Sun Gui’s concubine but kept it from her, she would have no idea how long they could keep it hidden.

If it weren’t for these country people not understanding the situation and foolishly bumping into her, she would never have known!

On the other side, Zhao Mingyue and the others stood nervously, looking at each other, unsure if they had said something wrong.

After Madam Sun angrily gave her orders, she looked at their scared faces and left a warning, “No one will know it was you who spoke. If Captain Sun goes to Qili Village again, you’d better tell me immediately!”

Jiang Daxi, with an apologetic expression, kept nodding, “Okay, I understand.”

After the two left, Zhao Mingyue waved her hand and said, “Let’s go, sell the rest of the tofu!”

They were no longer nervous at all, as if nothing had happened.
