A woman asked, "Who are you? Why are you asking these questions?"
"I am a servant boy by Lu Yunzhou's side. When he was studying at the county school, he promised to be engaged to my young lady. It's been several months since we last saw him, and my young lady is a little worried, so she asked me to come and inquire. I just came from Bainiwan. The Lu family is decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. I heard from the villagers that Lu Tongsheng is going to marry a new bride. I just wanted to ask if the person he is marrying is his previous wife."
"Hey, young man, you've come to the right person."
Let me tell you, go back and tell your young lady to stay away from that Lu Yunzhou. He calls himself a scholar? Bah! He's wasted all his time studying the classics.
In April, there was such a wonderful girl in our village, but he rejected her and divorced her. He even abandoned his own child who was only a few days old. You can imagine how cruel that family was, completely driving her to the brink of despair.
A few days ago, she came to our village crying and begging to get back together with her ex. She said a whole bunch of nice things, even kneeling down to plead, and the things she said were just...
I'm not going to say it anymore, it's so embarrassing. Only those scholars could come up with such words. He even wrote love poems for his ex-wife. Everyone thought he was genuinely repentant and wanted to live a good life with her. But then, he suddenly stopped coming. And guess what? While he was begging his ex-wife to get back together, he was secretly finding someone else outside, and he's marrying her today. Isn't that infuriating?
Fortunately, your young lady didn't get engaged to such a scoundrel. Not only would her reputation be ruined, but her life would be over. He's just a farmer's son, all he's good at is studying. He hasn't even achieved anything yet, and he's already thinking about having multiple wives and concubines. If he becomes a high-ranking official in the future, will his inner quarters become a brothel?
However, how could someone as morally corrupt and lacking in virtue possibly become a high-ranking official? Heaven is watching from above!
Young man, hurry back and tell your young mistress and young master to stay away from that bad boy, lest they be led astray.
Let me tell you a secret: I heard that man is also having an affair with a rich family's daughter in town, and he's also involved with many other women in the county town. He's even more promiscuous than a philandering radish. If any woman marries him and doesn't get his favor, she'll be living a life of widowhood.
Lu Tongsheng's mother boasted about her son everywhere in their village, saying how wonderful he was, how good girls were lining up to marry him, and how even the young ladies in town were eager to marry him.
Tell me, isn't that infuriating? Have you no shame?!
The servant listened with great interest; the aunt's story was even more interesting than the storyteller's tale. Having learned enough about the matter, the servant was about to return to report. "Thank you all for telling me the truth today, aunties, which saved my young lady from this calamity. I thank you in advance."
The servant bowed respectfully, mounted his horse, and rode away.
In no time at all, the servant arrived at the Zhou residence, handed the horse to the gatekeeper, and immediately went inside to report.
"Master, Madam, Miss, we have found out everything. The matter is exactly as described in the letter. Lu Yunzhou is indeed getting married today. The young lady is not from this town. The Lu family is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations today. I saw him standing in the courtyard dressed in a wedding outfit with my own eyes."
The younger brother even went to Liujia Village himself, and everything matched up perfectly. He had been trying to reconcile with his ex-wife a few days ago, but she had rejected him.
The servant told Master Zhou and the others everything he had found out. Upon hearing this, Master Zhou slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "You little rascal! You're trying to trick me into doing something underhanded! You're making a fool of me, Zhou Shihai!"
Dafu, gather all the guards and servants in the house, take your weapons, and quietly wait at the entrance of their village. We'll talk after the bride enters the Lu family. I want to see how much guts he has.
"You took so much money from me, and now you've brought this upon yourself? Go and get ready!"
Zhou Yuyan burst into tears after hearing this. "Why did Brother Yunzhou treat me like this? What did I do wrong that made him despise me and want to marry someone else? No, she can't marry someone else. I have to find him and ask him face to face. He said he would only love me in this life. He must have his reasons."
As she spoke, she ran out, but Mrs. Zhou quickly grabbed her daughter and said, "My silly girl, can't you see clearly? That person is just using sweet words to win your heart and then trying to take advantage of you."
Your parents only have you as their daughter, and your younger brother is still young. He might be after our family's property. It's not worth getting upset and shedding tears for someone like that. Luckily, your father saw things clearly and didn't arrange the marriage. If he had, it would have ruined your reputation.
Listen to your mother, stop crying. Your father will handle this.
Zhou Yuyan looked at her father with teary eyes, "Dad, I want to go with you. I want to see him. I want to hear him say it in person."
"No, how can an unmarried woman like you meet a man from another family? Besides, what right do you have to question him? What do those words mean? They just make people say you're throwing yourself at him, that you're not proper, and that you're not a virtuous woman."
My daughter, don't worry, I will definitely get rid of her. She is the daughter I raised with the palm of my hand, how could I allow him to trample on her?
"Xiang'er, why don't you help your young lady back to her room? She should stay home for the next few days and not go anywhere else."
"Dad~"
Zhou Yuyan was helped away by her maid, and only then did Madam Zhou and Master Zhou sit down again. "Master, are you going to the village?"
"Yes, I have to get revenge. I was planning to arrange his engagement to Yan'er after he passed the imperial examination, but I never expected him to be like this. Isn't this a slap in the face?"
"Given our daughter's personality, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle this blow."
"You should try to persuade her more, and encourage her to go out and socialize more to find her a good family again. Although I'm thinking of marrying into a powerful family, I wouldn't push my daughter into a fire pit."
Master Zhou led a dozen or so servants to Baini Bay, where they parked their carriage by the roadside and waited.
Qingwu immediately went back to report to Liu Siyue, "Master, Master Zhou has arrived at Baini Bay with more than a dozen people, and the carriage is parked by the roadside."
"Okay, let's follow them when they enter the village. You keep watch at the crossroads."
Liu Siyue was very excited. She went to the village chief's house and said, "Uncle Village Chief, let's leave in a little while."
Pan Dongmei also insisted on going, saying, "April, take your aunt with you. If things get heated there, the masters won't be able to lay a hand on those ladies. With your aunt there, I guarantee you won't suffer any losses."
"If Auntie wants to go, then let's go together. It's not far from here anyway."
Lu Yunping and his companions had a smooth journey. He chatted and laughed with the driver to pass the time, and before they knew it, they were heading towards Baini Bay.
The servant heard the sound of horses' hooves from afar. He looked up and saw a carriage slowly approaching. As it drew closer, the large red flower on the horse's head was particularly eye-catching. He knew that the people who had come to fetch the bride had returned.
"Master, the wedding party has returned."
"Yes, follow them into the village."
Lu Yunping glanced at the carriage parked by the roadside, assuming it was someone else's carriage that had broken down, and didn't pay any attention. The carriage passed by Master Zhou and his group, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Master Zhou gave the order, "Keep up!"
Two carriages followed me up. Qingwu had also sent out the wedding carriages earlier. He immediately went back to report, "Master, the wedding party has returned and they have entered the village."
"Let's go too, they've also taken two cars."
The people Liu Siyue brought included Feng Shi, Liu Dawang, Liu Youtian and his wife, the village chief and his wife, and several fierce women from the village. They were particularly good at cursing, and the things they said were unimaginable and went straight to the heart.
