Chapter 139: As expected of you

After watching a big show, Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Erlang to give some copper coins to the beggars and ask them to spread the news of what happened at the Wu Family's house entrance to the entire county town.

The climax of this story was that the Wu family wanted to force Fourth Son Shi to marry their illegitimate daughter at a hefty price.

They wanted the Shi family to provide 1000 taels of silver as their betrothal gift.

If they didn't have the money, they had to sell their land and house and let them be the new owner of these assets.

The Shi family did not agree and did not want to propose marriage.

However, the Wu family was unwilling and forced them.

In the end, the Wu family betrothed their daughter with 20 taels of silver.

As for the Wu family agreeing to give 1000 taels of silver for dowry, it was omitted in the rumours.

After Xiao Erlang completed his task, all of them returned to the village in a horse carriage.

As expected, this news quickly spread in the entire county town.

The Wu family's "notoriety" also rose in their county town.

Everyone mentioned the Wu family as if they were bandits.

Of course, Mo Qingling was aware about this too.

He couldn't help but laugh. "Jinyu's wife is really not ordinary."

She could actually think of this to deal with the Wu family.

He believed that the Shi family didn't come up with this idea by themselves.

He had met Fourth Son Shi before and he did not seem to be so smart.

His trusted aide was stunned. "Master, you're saying that Shi Qingluo taught her maternal family this?"

Mo Qingling nodded. "There's a high chance she was the mastermind. She is really magnanimous when she needs to be. When she's petty, her heart is as narrow as a needle eye."

He knew a little about Shi Qingluo after interacting with her on a few occasions.

He narrowed his eyes. "Just wait. This matter is not over yet. The Wu family will be dealt with very soon."

After he became Nanxi's county magistrate, the Wu family had caused him a lot of trouble.

It was time for them to be taught a lesson.

Before returning to the village, Shi Qingluo brought Mother Xiao, Xiao Baili, and Xiao Erlang along for shopping.

After watching the show, they obviously had to eat a good meal to celebrate.

After returning home, Liang Youxiao asked Shi Qingluo curiously, "Is this the end? Aren't you going to expose the Wu family's plan for setting your husband and harming you?"

Wasn't this letting the Wu Family go a little too easily?

Shi Qingluo gave him a look suggesting that it wouldn't be. "What are your plans?"

"Isn't it better to torment the Wu Family First before serving them a main course? Else, we are letting them off too easily."

Her young husband had secretly sent people to investigate if there was any evidence suggesting that Xiao Yuanshi or that woman were instigating the Wu family.

They wouldn't be able to investigate further if the matter was exposed now.

If they could find such evidence, it would be very beneficial to bring down Xiao Yuanshi next time.
