In fact, the three people causing trouble at the entrance of the Yang residence were indeed Wu Weiliang, Wu Huaiyun, and Wu Yuanshuang. They came from Jingzhou to make Madame Yang hand over all her money. One had to know that Madame Yang had been married to Wu Shiqiang for many years, and Wu Shiqiang doted on her. Especially when Wu Shiqiang was still alive, Madame Yang was in charge of the family.
Therefore, even when Madame Yang left Jingzhou and the Wu family, they did not let her go and followed her.
Wu Weiliang was the oldest of the three, and also the leader. He stood at the entrance and shouted, "Madame Yang, if you have the guts to take money from the Wu family, why don't you have the guts to come out and meet people? You took so much money from the Wu family, and now that we're here to confront you, you should at least come out and meet people! If you don't make things clear, we won't let this go. "
Wu Huaiyun put his hands on his hips and raised his head with an arrogant look. He said, "Madame Yang, come out and make things clear."
Wu Yuanshuang was slightly chubbier and dressed in luxurious brocade clothes. He said, "Madame Yang, you took my father's money and ran to the north to hide. It's impossible for you to live peacefully in Lantian County. My Wu family's money is not that easy to take. Come out, get out here. "
The three of them kept talking.
Their voices were very loud and echoed outside the streets.
When the three of them spoke, the people on the streets heard them and started discussing. Most of them blamed Madame Yang, thinking that it must be Madame Yang that caused Wu Weiliang and the other two to come from Jingzhou to Lantian County to cause trouble. After all, flies don't bite a seamless egg.
The people's discussion rose and fell.
Shangguan Yi stood beside Du Qi and shook his head. "Young Master, these people bully a widow and an orphan. How despicable. Such actions were truly disdainful. Especially since the authorities are not stepping in, it's really inappropriate. Why don't I go and solve it? "
Du Qi said, "No rush, let's wait and see."
The current situation was only Wu Weiliang and the other two causing trouble, and Madame Yang did not come out. Du Qi naturally did not need to step in. He would wait and see.
Shangguan Yi nodded and did not say anything else.
He continued to watch the situation develop.
Wu Weiliang and the other two were still shouting loudly, and their voices were transmitted into the residence.
Within the residence, Madam Yang and her three daughters were all there. The four of them stood together, looking incredibly worried because Wu Weiliang and the others were simply too despicable. They had already left the Jing State, especially since they were chased out of the Wu Clan. Now that they had left the Wu Clan to Lantian County, they were still chased all the way here. It was truly too miserable.
Madam Yang was in her early fifties.
He was quite old.
However, Madam Yang had taken good care of herself. Her hair was still the same, but there were some wrinkles on her face. Although she was in her early fifties, she looked like she was only in her forties.
When Madame Yang married Wu Shiji a few years ago, she was already around forty years old. It was already quite difficult for a woman of her age to give birth to a child, especially in the Tang dynasty, where medical skills were not developed, and it was very easy for her to be in danger. Madame Yang, on the other hand, was different. She had given birth to three daughters for Wu Shiyin, and from beginning to end, she had always been doted on by Wu Shiyin.
Unfortunately, after Wu Shiji's death, the four of them became rootless duckweeds. Wu Shiji's late wife had two sons, the eldest, Wu Yuanqing, and the second, Wu Yuanshuang. Both of them were hostile to Madam Yang, and even more so to Wu Zetian and Wu Shun. Therefore, the three of them were quickly chased out of the Wu Clan after Wu Shiji's death.
Madam Yang looked deeply worried, and there were even tears in her eyes. She said softly, "Wu Weiliang and the others have been causing a ruckus outside the residence for several days. Might as well just give them the money. We still have some money in our hands. Just give them the money we brought out, and our days will be peaceful. "
The eldest daughter, Wu Shun, had a gentle temperament and was slightly weak. She was only fourteen years old and had never experienced any hardships. Even though she was often bullied by Wu Yuanqing and the others when she was young, her temperament still did not change.
Now, her young and delicate face was filled with a panic-stricken look. She said, "Mother, there are so many people watching outside. Wu Weiliang and the others are causing a ruckus, and we've lost all our face. How are we going to live in the future? Your daughter also thinks that just give them the money. After they leave, things will calm down. We will also leave Lantian County and no longer live in Lantian County. "
After Madam Yang heard this, she looked at her second daughter, Madam Wu.
The current Wu Zetian was not old, only thirteen years old. However, the thirteen year old Wu Zetian's body was starting to develop. Her body was quickly growing, and she was even taller than her elder sister, Wu Shun. However, the expression on her face was even more determined, and she had a resolute look.
Madam Yang asked, "Second Mother, what do you think we should do?"
Under Madam Yang, the eldest daughter, Wu Shun, had never had her own opinions and was easily swayed. On the other hand, the second daughter was naturally intelligent and had a strong personality. She was more tactful and had her own opinions when dealing with matters. Many times, Madam Yang would ask for her second daughter's opinion when encountering matters. In fact, it was Madam Wu's suggestion that they leave Jingzhou and head north.
Madam Wu shook her head and said, "Mother, we've already reached this stage, and countless people are watching. If we hand over the money in our hands now, wouldn't it mean that we've really taken the Wu Clan's money? We didn't take the Wu Clan's money in the first place. Once we hand over the money, even if it's fake, it will become real. We won't be able to defend ourselves. "
"That's why we definitely can't hand over the money right now. Also, we didn't take the money in the first place. This money is mother's dowry, and it's all the money that father gave to us three sisters. Now that we have to give it to that bastard Wu Weiliang, we definitely can't do that. "
"Why should we!"
Madam Wu said, "Even if Wu Weiliang and the others continue to clamor, let them be. There will be a day when they can't clamor anymore. When that time comes, this matter will naturally end. In short, we'll just ignore them. "
Her expression was firm, but even so, there was still fear and unease in the depths of her eyes.
After all, Madam Wu was still young.
She had never experienced great storms, and now that she encountered such a situation, she was still worried.
When Madam Yang heard this, she was silent.
She agreed with Madam Wu's words. In the current situation, once they gave the money, it would be hard to explain. Most importantly, the people that Wu Weiliang received were all wolf cubs and could not be satisfied. Now that they had given the money, they definitely would not be satisfied and might even ask for more. Therefore, Madam Yang was also worried.
The problem was that if they did not give the money, it would be very troublesome.
If they did not go out, there would be rumors flying outside, especially when Wu Weiliang and the others came to cause trouble every day. The neighbors were watching, and this had a great impact on them, causing Madam Yang to be very conflicted.
At this moment, the shouts outside the house were still continuing. Especially Wu Weiliang and the other two, they were constantly shouting and cursing. Each sentence was worse than the last, making Madam Yang feel very embarrassed.
Madam Wu saw that her eldest sister, Wu Shun, did not have an opinion, and saw that her mother was also in a difficult position, so she directly said, "Mother, don't worry about it. Let's go to the backyard. Out of sight, out of mind, let's not bother about this."
Madam Yang was panicking, so when she heard Madam Wu's words, she finally nodded and followed Madam Wu, bringing her eldest daughter, Wu Shun, and third daughter to the backyard.
Outside the house, Wu Weiliang and the other two were still shouting.
Their mouths were full of vulgarities, and they even said that when Madam Yang was in the Wu family, she kept stealing money and taking benefits to fill her own pockets, thus harming the family's interests. In short, it was extremely defamatory.
There was no response from the house. After the three shouted for a while, they finally left.
The commoners gradually dispersed.
Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "Young Master, it's not bad that Madam Yang can keep hiding. As long as she can hide, maybe there is still a chance for this matter to turn around. "
Du Qi shook his head and said, "As long as the Wu family doesn't give up, this matter will not end. Let's go, let's take a look around and see the situation in Lantian County. Also, this place can't be stirred up for the time being. We'll wait for them to stir up trouble before we come again. "
Shangguan Yi was a little surprised and asked, "Young Master, we're still coming? Could it be that you're going to intervene in this matter? "
In Shangguan Yi's view, this was a small matter.
It was not worth Du Qi's concern.
Du Qi said, "Since we've encountered a problem, we naturally have to solve it. If we don't solve this matter, won't it help the evil wind to rise? So after this matter is settled, we'll leave. Especially when we were in the restaurant, the shopkeeper said that the county magistrate is a smart person. I want to see what kind of smart person he is. Also, let the people of Lantian County keep an eye on Wu Weiliang and the others, see if they do anything. "
"Yes!"
Shangguan Yi responded and left with Du Qi.
