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

Finally, night fell. Liu Siyue saw that everyone was asleep. She hadn't taken off her clothes, so she jumped out of bed and quietly went to find Qingwu and Qingye.

When she arrived at the front door, Qingwu saw someone walking towards her and immediately prepared for battle. Liu Siyue whispered, "It's me."

Upon hearing the voice, Qingwu recognized it as the Madam's. "Madam, what brings you here?"

"I'll stand with you and see who dares to lay a hand on us!"

"Madam, it's too dangerous here. You should go back quickly. If a fight breaks out, they might not be able to take care of you."

"It's alright, your wife knows a thing or two." She even did a standing split.

The two squatted at the front gate for a long time, but no one moved. "There's movement over there, Madam!" Qingwu pointed in a direction. It turned out to be the neighbor's courtyard wall. The two watched from a distance and saw a dark head sticking out and looking around in the yard. Perhaps because the range of vision was limited and not clear enough, half of its body was exposed, with its head stretched forward and its entire body basically over the wall.

"Can't we shoot him down?"

Qingwu nodded, took out a pebble from her body, and threw it with a whoosh. It hit the black man squarely in the face. The man cried out in pain, touched his head, and then screamed "Ah!" before falling off the wall.

Liu Siyue and Qingwu pretended to have heard the noise and ran out, shouting "Catch the thief! A thief has broken into the house!" while punching and kicking the thief.

They recognized the voice as belonging to a woman. At this point, who cares whether you're male or female? How dare you spy on someone? Just for that, they'd beat you up first. The woman screamed as she was beaten.

The maidservant in the next courtyard was frantic. The lady had fallen into the next courtyard. What should she do?

Hearing the lady's pitiful screams, she was terrified. "Yes, I must tell the master immediately!"

The woman was beaten until she couldn't cry anymore. Liu Siyue told Qingwu to go outside and shout to call out to the neighbors. There was an official living here, so let's see what she does.

Qingwu shouted at the top of her lungs. She was a martial arts practitioner, so her lung capacity was enormous. Her voice echoed throughout the entire East Alley, making it impossible not to hear.

"Help! A thief has broken into our house!"

Tang Fan was still awake, reading in his study. Hearing the noise, he grabbed his knife and ran out. It seemed things hadn't been peaceful in East Alley these past few days! He opened the door and quickly ran towards the sound.

"Girl, where is the thief?"

"The thief is inside."

When Tang Fan went inside, he saw dozens of women forming a circle. He told them to make way and said, "I am Tang Fan, the clerk of this county."

Everyone stepped aside, and Tang Fan walked in. He saw that the woman was dressed like a man. "Raise your head!" Tang Fan's voice was authoritative, and the woman lowered her head even further.

Tang Fan grabbed the woman's hair and tilted her head back. This thief was in such a sorry state; his face was practically a pig's head. Looking closer, he realized she looked familiar. "Are you Mrs. Xu?"

"Women don't speak."

Madam Xu's maid had already run to the concubine's room and called for Master Xu, "Master, something has happened to Madam! Please save her quickly, or she will be beaten to death."

Master Xu put on his clothes and came out. "Xiao Cui, what happened? Who is going to beat Madam to death?"

After Xiao Cui recounted what had happened, Master Xu slapped her across the face, saying, "Useless thing, you don't even know how to stop your wife from being so unreasonable."

Xiao Cui felt wronged. She had no say in what her master had decided, and if she said too much, she would be punished.

When Master Xu arrived at the Yun residence and approached Tang Fan, he said, "Master Xu, you've come at the right time. Is this your wife?"

"My lord, it's all a misunderstanding. My wife got up to relieve herself in the middle of the night and heard some noise in the neighbor's yard. Out of curiosity, she wanted to see if a thief had broken in. We're all neighbors, so it's only right to show concern. Who knew she would accidentally fall down like that?"

When Madam Xu heard her husband defending her, she quickly chimed in, "Sir, that is indeed the case. My maid, Xiao Cui, can testify to that."

Xiao Cui quickly stepped forward to testify, "My lord, what my wife said is true, I can testify to it."

Tang Fan looked at the people from the Yun family, as if to say, "What do you have to say?"

Liu Siyue said with a smile, "Since it was a misunderstanding, it will be fine once it's cleared up. It was dark, and we acted in a moment of panic. We hope Madam Xu will forgive us."

I'm so sorry to have disturbed everyone's rest.

"Since everything's alright, everyone should go back." Tang Fan left the Yun residence, wondering why there were so many women here and what they did for a living. He had some doubts, but since they hadn't done anything wrong, it wasn't his business.

Madam Xu was furious. She had suffered a loss in silence, and look what she had done to herself! She was going to be laughed at by those concubines, and how could she ever face anyone again?

Mr. Xu launched into a tirade against Mrs. Xu, "Look at you, you're in your fifties, and all you do is fight over men all day long. You have no manners whatsoever as the mistress of the house. You've really disgraced my old face."

"Whose fault is this? It's all your fault. Ever since you brought two concubines into the mansion, when have you ever looked at me properly? How many times have you ever come to my room? You can count them on one hand."

"You can't assume every woman you see will try to seduce me. Do you think I'm that shameless?"

"Alright, I was also at fault. I did neglect you. You should focus on recovering from your injury first, and I'll make it up to you later."

"Yes, sir, you must keep your word."

"From now on, I will treat all three of you equally. You are my legal wife, and I will give you enough respect."

"Xiao Cui, quickly help Madam down to rest, apply some ointment, and ask the doctor to come and see her tomorrow." After saying this, she went back to her aunt's place.

Everyone in the Yun residence had gone to sleep, but Liu Siyue and Yun Chenxin were still waiting for Qingwu in their room.

"Madam, Madam Yun, we've found out everything. That Madam Xu is afraid that the women in our household will seduce Master Xu."

Liu Siyue was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth. "What! What is all this about? Who would want to seduce a middle-aged fat man? Does Madam Xu see every woman as an imaginary enemy?"

Sigh! Another wounded woman; their very existence revolves around men.

"Madam, Master Xu has two concubines who have long neglected Madam Xu..."

"Alright, nothing's wrong. You should go back and rest. Don't stay here. Nothing will happen. It's rather cold at night."

"Chenxin, look at this, Mrs. Xu is practically obsessed with men. Do you think it's worth it?"

"It's not worth it. Why bother with such a heartless and ungrateful man? It's better to have money to spend."

"Yes, take his money and spend it however you like."

But you know what, this Mr. Xu is quite capable. Even though they were in the wrong, he managed to portray himself as the victim, managing to save face and save face.

"No wonder he's a businessman; his mind works really fast."

The next day, the street was crowded with people. A Taoist priest had been invited. He was carrying a whisk in one hand, a bell in the other, and a sword on his back. He walked back and forth in the street, chanting incantations, shaking the bell, and finally tossing it into the air and catching it with the tip of his sword.

The Taoist priest walked into the crowd, flicked his whisk, and said, "Amitabha, the evil spirit has been subdued by my Soul-Suppressing Bell. The sword pierced its soul, and it has vanished into thin air. It can no longer come out to do evil."

Liu Siyue scoffed. Where did this Taoist priest come from, swindling people like this? And these people actually believed him, looking at their worshipful faces, and even gave him 50 taels of silver. How generous!

Just before dinner, the Yun Cloth Shop arrived with a delivery. Three horse-drawn carriages entered the Yun residence directly through the back gate.
