“Why? Are you bored?”
“Yeah, there’s nothing to do. There aren’t many people I can talk to in the capital; it’s quite boring.”
“Alright, I’ll bring them along for a short retreat. We’ll come back after Yang Shicheng’s problems are over.”
After the two had dinner, Zhou Ying began to spread out her divine senses to look at Yang Wanning and her brother.
Noticing that they were eating dinner, she went to Yang Shicheng and the others.
They had already collected all the corpses, stored them in the mortuary, and planned to bury them tomorrow.
Although there weren’t many people on the streets, Zhou Ying noticed everyone was gossiping about the Yang family.
In particular, they were discussing Yang Shicheng. Some said that he persuaded Mrs. Cui to kill Mrs. Gu; some even said he had a part in the plot against Yang Wanning and her brother and that his goal was to take over the entirety of Mrs. Gu’s dowry.
However, there were also some who thought he was a fool and had been schemed against by his mother and wife.
No matter what, he was in a disadvantageous position.
The majority labeled him ungrateful and ruthless, while the rest questioned his ability.
If he couldn’t even know how to manage his family, how could he be an official in the government?
Yang Shicheng and his party turned around a corner and bumped into a drunkard. After the drunkard recognized Yang Shicheng, he immediately mocked him, “Minister of Revenue? What a fool. If you can’t even see the people around you clearly, why don’t you go home and tend the farms instead?” “What do you know? Get up, get up.” The butler pushed the drunkard away.
“I don’t know anything, but you should. Could it be you really did conspire with Mrs. Cui to commit murder?”
“You’re looking for death!” Yang Chengsen rushed over and punched him.
The drunkard fell to the ground, but he still managed to kick Yang Chengsen. “You must be the son of Mrs. Cui, ruthless as she is. Come, come, hit my head if you date!”
“You…” Yang Chengsen was so angry that he was trembling. He grabbed a stone from the roadside and wanted to throw it at the drunkard’s head.
Although Yang Shicheng wanted to kill this drunkard himself, he knew that his family could not afford to stir up any more trouble. He immediately grabbed Yang Chengsen’s arm and said, “Stop, why are you bickering with a drunkard?” After saying that, he quickly dragged him forward.
When the others saw this, they immediately chased after him.
The drunkard pointed at their backs and shouted indignantly, “Who’s a drunkard? I’ve never been drunk in my life!”
After saying that, he staggered away.
After returning to the manor, Mrs. Ning saw that the manor was dark and barely anyone was walking around the courtyard. She quickly asked the butler to investigate what was going on.
However, Yang Shicheng was not in the mood to deal with this. He returned to the house to wash up, ate a bite, and went back to sleep.
After Mrs. Ning returned to her room, she saw her daughter eating obediently at the table. She walked over and said, “Ru ‘er, you naughty girl. Why didn’t you wait for mom to come back for dinner?”
“No, mom. Nanny brought the food here, so I couldn’t hold back.”
“Mistress, the food was sent by Young Miss.
“She said she didn’t know when you all would be back, so we should let the Ru ‘er eat first.”
Mrs. Ning was surprised by that. She remembered how Yang Wanning had avenged Mrs. Gu today and wondered if she was trying to rope them in.
After all, Yang Wanyu and Yang Chengsen were more favored by Yang Shicheng.
After what happened today, they had to rope in more people to stand by their side if they still wanted to gain a foothold in the residence.
Ru ‘er was the only child in the residence other than the two pairs of siblings.
“Did the Young Miss say anything else?”
