Shi Si Gongzi must have had his reasons for binding Wu Tangge in this way.

  Chui Rong continued, "Fifth Brother did something wrong, if it were me, I would have buried it deep. But Tao Niangniang seems to want to make a big fuss about it. What deep grudge do you hold against Second Aunt that you must do things this way?"

  She thought for a moment, stood up, "No, no, I have to go back and tell Second Aunt."

  "Old Mother Tao was shocked and exclaimed, 'Ninth Aunt is innocent!'"

  Just now still like a fool, can't even understand a few words, how come just a little while ago, speaking is so difficult again.

  What does "Tao Niangniang can't eat accurately Cui Ying" mean?

  Fortunately, she was eloquent and managed to placate him somewhat, and Cui Rong's anger dissipated by half.

  Actually, Cui Ying would never get angry with Tao Nainai.

  She just watched Tao Huahua act so hard and cooperated with her a little bit.

  After being persuaded by Mrs. Tao for half a moment, she reluctantly nodded.

  "Since you also know you were wrong, I won't hold it against you. However, Fifth Brother still needs to be rescued."

  Just now when she was talking with Tao Nainai, she had already figured out the key points of the matter.

  Her fifth elder brother, she can't even remember his name...

  In short, her fifth elder brother must have really done something to Shi Liu's maid.

  And the plot is serious, it's not as simple as just taking advantage of a few words verbally.

  Otherwise, even if Shi Si Gongzi was violent again, he wouldn't have beaten someone to death on the street, let alone bound them back to the manor and locked them up.

  The old lady must have left out many key details and just used the three words "not square" to get by.

  What her fifth elder brother did must be extremely heinous, so heinous that it cannot be told to the family.

  Otherwise, the Shi family would have to give an explanation for detaining someone. Whether it was Grandfather or Grandmother, or even Great Uncle and Great Aunt going to the Shi's to demand their release, wouldn't that be the end of it?

  Even if it's true that a maid was wronged, the punishment should be meted out accordingly, and compensation should be made. The Shi family may be angry, but they won't turn against the Cui family because of a single maid, and might even send her to the Cui family as a gesture.

  There's no way around it, Cui Ying also felt quite helpless about it, but that was just the values of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

  The lives of the people here are as worthless as straw, even concubines can be sent away at will, let alone a servant girl?

  So she felt that the truth of the matter was certainly not so simple.

  However, she didn't want to know what the truth was after all.

  The more you know, the less stable you feel, and besides, it's not a good thing anyway.

  The top priority is how to get rid of Tao Nainai, this troublesome person, without getting any blame on oneself.

  My second aunt is not a magnanimous person.

  She didn't want to hear in the future that her second aunt had sent someone to frame her.

  Cui Ying thought for a moment and had an idea in her mind.

  She said happily, "I thought of it, didn't Eldest Aunt's sister marry Old Master Shi San?"

  She said with a smile, "Come to think of it, the Cui and Shi families are also relatives. It's better for Auntie Tao to go ask Big Aunt, one word from her is more powerful than me saying a hundred words."

  Cui Lingyue thought the more she thought about it, the more feasible her plan seemed, and she nodded repeatedly. "As a member of the Cui family, even if it's just for her own dignity, Eldest Aunt wouldn't spread these things around randomly."

  Old Lady Tao was anxious because the matter of Fifth Master couldn't be made public, so Second Mistress wanted to take advantage of Ninth Aunt's situation.

  The matter of Wu Ye being locked up has not yet been made public.

  It was a little servant who escaped from Wu Ye's side and secretly told the second lady about this matter, even the second master didn't know.

  That young fellow said that Fifth Master somehow hooked up with a woman Zheng Wang was supporting outside.

  That day was originally going to be spent at Zheng Wang's outer mansion in the south of the city, being intimate with that woman, but somehow ended up entering the wrong house.

  The wealthy families in Shengjing City mostly live in the north of the city, while those in the south are mostly merchants. The house is not big, and it's an old man who guards the door. There's no one else at home to take care of the house.

  Wu Ye had originally wanted to leave immediately, but he heard a faint sound of a guqin coming from the house.

  Because I thought Zheng Wang's mistress lived next door, the lady of this house didn't seem like a decent woman either.

  Wu Ye followed Qin Yin into the inner courtyard.

  The one playing the piano was a beautiful young girl, with only a young maid serving her by her side.

  The old man's lustful heart was stirred up, and he immediately forced himself on the girl.

  Perhaps it was Xiaoyao who slipped out to report the news, and soon after, a couple came in a rage, punching and kicking Wu Ye.

  The fifth master explained his identity, but unexpectedly, the other party not only didn't listen, but also doubled their violence.

  The little servant saw that the man was only concerned with beating up Fifth Master, and the woman was busy comforting and taking care of the crying girl, so he took advantage of the opportunity to slip away.

  He saw with his own eyes how the man beat Wu Ye into a pulp and then tied him up and threw him onto the horse cart before leaving.

  That young fellow had also followed Fifth Master and seen the world, and he actually recognized the emblem of the Marquis of Moyang.

  After inquiring from all sides, it was learned that the man and woman were the fourth son of the Moyangbo Fu and the sixth young lady.

  The young servant originally intended to return to the mansion and have someone go to Marquis Mu's residence to fetch people.

  Fortunately, he was not foolish and knew that stealing Zheng Wang's people was a big deal, let alone forcing Shi Si Gongzi's people.

  It's better not to make this public.

  The little servant then went back and reported to the second lady.

  The second lady immediately sent someone to Moyangbo's house to ask about it, but nothing was ever found out.

  Nor did he know whether it was a non-existent matter or Shi Si Gongzi had never brought anyone into the mansion.

  The two ladies were as restless as ants on a hot pan.

  But she was helpless.

  This matter can't be made public at all, who let her precious son not only molested Shi Si Gongzi's woman but also had an affair with Zheng Wang's concubine.

  Who is Zheng Wang?

  The current emperor's uncle

  The former emperor had so many brothers, but in the end, only he survived, can this be a simple role?

  It is said that he was violent and cruel, and at the slightest disagreement, he would whip people. Once, a censor remonstrated with him for beating an official of the imperial court in contravention of the law, whereupon he drew his sword after the audience and hacked wildly at the censor's house.

  Although no one was hurt, those houses, buildings, ancient trees and famous flowers were devastated.

  The emperor has only this uncle, and he respects him, never interfering with these things.

  From then on, no official dared to remonstrate with him.

  He can be as tyrannical as he wants, as long as he doesn't kill people or set fires, the emperor will let him be.

  The fifth master dares to steal Zheng Wang's woman, if he finds out, he will surely take his sword and kill him at the door.

  So, because of these various considerations, the second lady did not dare let anyone know about this matter.

  The only way she could think of was to rescue the person before things got out of hand.

  It wasn't easy, but the second lady finally found out that Jiu Gu Niang and Shi Jia Liu Xiao Jie had some connections, so she wanted to make a solo bet, taking advantage of Jiu Gu Niang's silly nature, to get this thing done.

  Mrs. Tao thought that she had finally managed to get Old Lady Ji's nose back in line, how could she let her turn it upside down again?

  It would be better for people in the Town National General's Mansion to know about this matter than to let it reach the ears of the Crown Prince's wife.
