Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

The four young masters of Lingshui did not gain any advantage from Liu Siyue and were even humiliated. They were very angry, especially since Young Master Wu was slapped. He had been pampered since childhood and was delicate and precious. He had never suffered such humiliation.

Alright! This little firecracker is mine! Once I get my hands on her, let's see how arrogant she can be then, hmph...

This young master is just waiting for her to be kneeling on the ground, crying and begging for his favor. A scene appears in his mind: he is sitting and drinking tea, and the little chili crawls a few steps to his feet, saying, "Young master, I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. I will listen to your words and serve you comfortably."

As Wu Gongzi pondered this, he suddenly chuckled. The other three looked at him, "Brother Wu, you just got slapped, why are you still so happy?"

"Haha, I've thought of something fun, you'll see later. Let's go to the Spring Dream Pavilion now and let this young master relieve his pent-up desires."

"Brother Wu, have you lost your mind? It's broad daylight, and Chunmeng Tower isn't even open for business yet!"

"If I go, she'll have to open for business."

Several men called for the door of Chunmeng Tower to be opened. As soon as the doorman saw that they were their distinguished guests, he immediately put on a smiling face, "Gentlemen, you've arrived so early. The tower isn't open yet. The girls were exhausted last night and are resting now."

When the madam came out of the building and saw that it was these four gentlemen, she stood on the second floor and called out, "Oh, gentlemen, you've arrived so early?" She came down the stairs with a swaying gait, holding a handkerchief.

"Aunt Chang, we brothers missed you yesterday, so the girls in the building were really looking forward to it, that's why we came early."

Madam Chang looked troubled. Young Master Wu took out several hundred-tael silver notes and put them in Madam Chang's hand, saying, "Make sure the girls get some nourishment later."

"Oh dear, Young Master Wu is so considerate. Gentlemen, please wait downstairs for a moment while I go and inform the ladies."

"No need for you to trouble yourself, Aunt Chang. We can go in ourselves."

Chang's mother couldn't stop them; the four of them went upstairs in a hurry, and she followed closely behind.

"Gentlemen, please be patient. Let me knock on the door. Do not disturb the other ladies' rest."

Madam Chang led the four men to the girls' room they frequented. The other three chatted and flirted, but Young Master Wu couldn't wait and started making a ruckus, creating quite a commotion in the building. Miss Hongyu screamed in agony.

Mother Chang frowned as she listened. What was wrong with Young Master Wu today? Had he taken the wrong medicine?

He emerged from the room with a smug look on his face, went downstairs, and took out another 100 taels of silver. "Give this 100 taels of silver to Miss Hongyu so she can recover properly. Tell her not to entertain any more customers these days."

*Knock knock knock*, the door of the Spring Dream Pavilion was knocked on again. The madam was furious; one knock after another in broad daylight—what was going on?

"Young Master Wu, please have a seat. I'll go see which fool is causing trouble again."

As Madam Chang walked to the door, she saw a servant boy with injuries on his face. "Madam Chang, I'm here to tell you that something has happened to my young master."

Who is your young master?

"Gu Nanting, Young Master Gu."

"Come in!"

When Gu Nanting's servant entered, he saw Young Master Wu sitting there drinking tea and eating snacks. "Young Master Wu is in trouble. Wu Xiaoliu is dead."

Young Master Wu stood up abruptly. "Tell me what exactly happened?"

"I don't know either. When I came out of the clinic, I was on my way to find some young masters when I ran into an acquaintance. He told me that the servant boy next to Young Master Wu had died and that the body was being kept at the county government office for someone to pick up."

I didn't believe it, so I went to the county government office myself. Sure enough, it was Wu Xiaoliu lying there. The people in the office said he had fallen to his death.

They even produced a doctor's diagnosis, stating that the person had hit their head on a bluestone slab, where a pebble had become embedded in their skull, causing them to bleed to death.

"You wait here for your young master. I'll go to the yamen first."

"Granny Chang, arrange a carriage to take me to the county government office."

"Alright, Young Master Chang, please wait a moment."

Inside the county government office, Magistrate Fang heard about the incident from several yamen runners, and also heard about the Four Young Masters of Lingshui harassing respectable women on the street.

"Young Master Wu said on the street that the sir was his brother."

Fang Zhihua slammed his fist on the table in anger, "Damn it, this is going to get me killed!"

What a coincidence! Could it be that the mysterious master has made his move again? I hope he won't hold a grudge against me; I've been very well-behaved lately and haven't done anything wrong!

"Sir, shall we call a coroner to examine the body?"

"No need, the doctor at the clinic said he hit his head and died from it."

If a coroner were to examine the body, the result would definitely be different. That blood hole is clearly not something a stone could fit into on its own. It would take a lot of skill to make such a deep blood hole.

If the Wu family comes to cause trouble, this is the result: they'll kill themselves.

Upon arriving at the county office, Young Master Wu immediately questioned Magistrate Fang, "Your Honor, my servant has died without any apparent cause. Have you investigated the cause of his death?"

Magistrate Fang disliked his arrogant attitude, as he completely disregarded him as the magistrate.

"The cause of death has certainly been determined. The clinic issued a diagnosis: he fell and died."

"How is this possible? How could Xiao Liu have fallen to his death for no reason? Lord Fang, you must investigate this thoroughly. Otherwise, if the Prefect finds out, you will be guilty of dereliction of duty. This is a matter of life and death, and we cannot take it lightly."

"I have no need for Young Master Wu to tell me what to do. Young Master Wu, watch your words and actions in public. When did we become brothers?"

"Lord Fang, I'm just flattering you. Don't be ungrateful. With just a word from me, I can get the Prefect to remove your official hat."

"Hahaha~, Wu Yonglu, do you think I'm easily scared? Go ahead and sue me, but hurry up and get your men out of here, or I'll have them thrown into a mass grave."

"You~"

Fang Zhihua suddenly stood up, grabbed Wu Yonglu's finger that was pointing at him, and twisted it hard, causing Wu Yonglu to scream like a pig in pain. Fang Zhihua then pushed Wu Yonglu, who fell to the ground.

Wu Yonglu staggered to his feet, rubbed his backside, and said to Fang Zhihua, "You just wait," before turning and leaving.

"Sir, what should we do with the body?"

"Send two men to the Wu family's doorstep." He wanted to make his stance clear and hoped that the mysterious man wouldn't come looking for him.

Wu Yonglu returned home in a rage. "Father, Mother, you must stand up for me! I've been bullied!"

Look, someone broke my fingers.

Wu Yonglu was Madam Wu's darling, and she was so heartbroken that tears were about to spill from her eyes. "Someone! Someone! Quickly go and fetch a doctor!"

Master Wu slammed his fist on the table. "Who on earth hurt my son? How dare they bully the Wu family?"

"My father is that county magistrate Fang Zhihua. Xiao Liu, who serves me, died for no reason. His body is left at the county office. I asked him to investigate the cause of death, but he actually made excuses and said that Xiao Liu fell to his death and told me to take the body away."

How could this be? Xiao Liu, a perfectly healthy person, how could he possibly kill himself by falling? I got into an argument with him, and he hit me.

"Fine, he's nothing but a dog under your uncle's command. I'll write a letter right away and have your uncle teach him a lesson. He must come to your door in person to apologize."

When the doctor arrived and examined Wu Yonglu, he said, "Young Master Wu's finger is fine. The bone is not injured, but the cartilage is bruised from being pulled so hard. It may swell up in a while. Apply some ointment and let it rest for a few days, and it will be fine."
