After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 330 Cen Mingzhu Comes to Cause Trouble

Xiao Shuang hurriedly returned to see Cen Mingzhu with the news. "Madam, I found out that Madam Zhu had previously hired a tutor from out of town at a high price to educate that bastard child. The coachman took Madam Zhu to Dongmen Village, to find the family that had served Madam Ke."

However, Madam Zhu did not see the person. That family kept their mouths shut. Madam Zhu tried to coerce or bribe them, but they did not budge. However, the servant found out about the gentleman.

The man's surname was Tang. He was from Luzhou and stayed in Dongmen Village for a period of time before leaving. Almost all the villagers in Dongmen Village had seen him. According to the villagers, Mr. Tang left for two or three years and then returned to the village to marry the niece of the Su family in Dongmen Village. The woman's surname was Ke.

This servant suspects that Madam Ke is a relative of the Su family, which is why the Su family is protecting her so closely. This servant also sent someone to inquire carefully about the Su family's situation, and only then did I learn that the Su family has a daughter who married into the Shen family village. Mr. Tang stayed in the Shen family village for two or three years. This servant suspects that Madam Ke was hiding in the Shen family village before, and then Mr. Tang left after marrying Madam Ke, and we don't know where she went, but the Su family must know their whereabouts.”

"The Su family?" Cen Mingzhu smiled contemptuously. "They're nothing but peasants. They've sent people to their doorstep. I'd like to see how tough they can be!"

Xiao Shuang turned pale with fright. "No, Madam! Although the Su family are just peasants, everyone in Dongmen Village is surnamed Su. I've heard that their village is very united, and the Su family has a high status in the village. They are related to the township head and village chief. The high-yield grain seeds were developed by the Su family. The Su family is also registered with the county government. I'm worried that the prefect knows about the Su family."

"If you really send people to our door to interrogate Ke Shi about her whereabouts, the Su family will definitely report it to the authorities. Although the Zhu family is the most powerful family in Zhaohua County, they can't defy the government!"

"Hmph! Do you think I, Cen Mingzhu, am afraid of them!" Cen Mingzhu slammed her fist on the table in a fit of rage, her eyes filled with resentment. When did she ever stop doing what she wanted to do?
Xiao Shuang quickly knelt down, "Madam, of course you are not afraid of them, but this servant feels that there is no need to cause trouble. Shen Family Village! We can go to Shen Family Village to ask. Ke Shi hid there before, so there must be many people who know the truth."

Cen Mingzhu took a deep breath, her face grim, and walked out. "Hurry up and prepare the carriage!"

The master and servant arrived at Shenjiazhuang by carriage and found that the houses in the village were quite nice, indicating that it was a wealthy place.

Cen Mingzhu frowned subconsciously. "Was the Ke family hiding here before? They really know how to find a place to hide!"

"Yes, I guess so!" Xiao Shuang said, quickly getting off the carriage and asking the villagers for directions until she found the workshop where Tang Yu was teaching.

Cen Mingzhu walked in haughtily, chin held high, and frowned in disgust. "Where is the Su family?"

Shen Ergou and Shen Tian looked at Cen Mingzhu suspiciously, but did not answer her.

Xiao Shuang stepped forward and shouted sternly, "My master is asking you a question, are you deaf?"

Shen Ergou and his sister exchanged a glance, then turned around and busied themselves, completely ignoring them.

"Madam, look!" Xiao Shuang was furious.

Cen Mingzhu snorted coldly, "A commoner is a commoner, they don't know any manners at all!"

Shen Tian suddenly slammed the wooden basin down, startling both the mistress and her servant.

“We only understand human speech, not dog barking! You don’t even know the most basic etiquette for entering a house, and you’re talking about rules with your grandma here? Bah! Who are you! Dressed like butterflies, with makeup on your faces thicker than a brothel woman, you’re all slovenly, get out of here right now!” Shen Tian’s outburst shocked Shen Ergou, who was standing to the side.

After regaining his senses, he gave Shen Tian a thumbs up with satisfaction, "Girl, you're awesome!"

"You...you dare to curse me! You deserve to die! You all deserve to die! Xiao Shuang, beat them to death! I will take responsibility if anything happens!" Cen Mingzhu had never suffered such humiliation in her life, and she was so angry that she lost her mind.

Shen Ergou immediately shielded Shen Tian behind him, shouting, "Who dares to touch my sister!"

Cen Mingzhu came out secretly without Zhu Yixuan's knowledge. Apart from the coachman and Xiao Shuang, she had no other help, but that was enough.

At her command, the driver and Xiao Shuang rushed forward, one clinging to Shen Er Gou and the other charging at Shen Tian.

Shen Ergou and the coachman got into a fight, and Shen Ergou yelled at the top of his lungs, "Help! Someone's bullying us!" Xiao Shuang was obviously very experienced in fighting, and she immediately grabbed Shen Tian's hair tightly.

Shen Tian screamed in pain. Although she had never been in a fight, she had worked for many years and was much stronger than Xiao Shuang. She simply rammed into Xiao Shuang, knocked her to the ground, and frantically scratched her face.

Seeing Xiaoshuang at a disadvantage, Cen Mingzhu was furious, "This is outrageous! Outrageous! You lowly commoner!"

While cursing, she grabbed a wooden basin from the side and smashed it hard against Shen Tian.

Huang Xinghua witnessed this scene as she entered the room. Her eyes turned bloodshot, and she was so enraged that she lost her mind. "Ah, I'll kill you!"

She is strong and has a robust physique.

Cen Mingzhu turned pale with fright and threatened, her voice trembling with fear, "Stop right there, or I'll take your life!"

Enraged, Huang Xinghua couldn't hear anything. She stepped forward and slapped Cen Mingzhu twice across the face, then grabbed her hair and dragged her to the ground, stomping on her.

Cen Mingzhu screamed in agony.

"Ma'am, ma'am!"

Xiao Shuang and the driver were frantic and rushed over to rescue Cen Mingzhu.

Shen Ergou wouldn't budge no matter what, shouting, "You dare bully my sister? I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"

The coachman panicked and shouted, "Our lady is from the Zhu family in the county town, and she is the beloved daughter of a fifth-rank general in the imperial court. How dare you lowly commoners treat her like this? The general will definitely not let you get away with this!"

Huang Xinghua and her son were truly frightened.

Shen Ergou gave Huang Xinghua a wink, and Huang Xinghua quickly helped Shen Tian up. After confirming that Shen Tian was alright, she immediately called Su Tai over.

At this moment, the villagers also ran over from the fields and pointed at Cen Mingzhu and her two servants.

"What happened?" Su Tai already knew what had happened from Huang Xinghua, and she looked at Cen Mingzhu and her two servants with great hostility.

Cen Mingzhu, who had been helped up by Xiao Shuang and the coachman, was so angry that she went berserk. She glared fiercely at Su Tai and her group, "You lowly people! You just wait, I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death!"

Su Tai frowned. "Madam, it's normal for you to get beaten up for causing trouble. Please watch your mouth! If you spew any more filth at me, I'll throw you out!"

"You? You're Su Tai?" Cen Mingzhu narrowed her eyes, looking at Su Tai with resentment.

Su Tai remained remarkably calm. "So what if it's me?"

"Where is that bitch Ke?" Cen Mingzhu didn't want to beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

Su Tai suddenly realized what she meant and laughed, "Who do you think you are? Why should I tell you?"

"You shameless woman! Don't push your luck! What right does a lowly peasant woman have to defy me!" Cen Mingzhu looked at Su Tai and the others with arrogance and disdain.
