Liu Widow Liu was even more dumbfounded and unwilling when she heard Xie Jinyan say this.

How could she let such a big fish that she finally caught slip away?

Moreover, wasn't she妩媚 and charming? How was she worse than his cold wife?

Well, this Master Xie was blind and couldn't distinguish between fish eyes and pearls. Even if she followed him, she would probably only end up feeding the horses.

But she couldn't just let it go like this...

Her family was almost out of food, and her reputation had been ruined by the Wang family. It was difficult to swindle some money to spend.

Today, she had to get something from this big fish.

Thinking of this, Liu Widow simply stopped pretending. She stood up swiftly, blocked the center of the carriage, and said to Xie Jinyan through gritted teeth, "I'll let you pass if you give me a thousand taels of silver, otherwise, I won't move even if you run me over."

Look, look, this Liu Widow was too shameless!

Seeing that the man looked down on her, she directly started blackmailing him.

The villagers clicked their tongues and looked at her with even more contempt.

At this point, Liu Widow didn't care about her reputation anymore.

She put her hands on her hips and looked at Xie Jinyan righteously, saying, "Putting aside other things, Master Xie stayed in my house before, so he should pay, right? You look like a wealthy person, you can't just take advantage of us orphans and widows for nothing."

Heh, the way she said it was really ambiguous.

It made it sound like Xie Jinyan slept with her and didn't pay. The purpose was obvious: if she couldn't cling to him, she wanted to provoke discord between him and his wife.

Liu Widow had always behaved improperly. Hearing her words, the villagers' eyes towards Xie Jinyan also became ambiguous.

The goodwill that had just been ignited instantly vanished.

Xie Jinyan naturally noticed it too.

This Liu Widow was really courting death.

Xie Jinyan snorted coldly, not feeling guilty at all. He just looked at her mockingly and asked directly, "Liu Widow, you said I took advantage of you orphans and widows, what advantage did I take?"

"Furthermore, I wasn't the only one who stayed at your house that day. The money was paid together. How did it become like I have some ambiguous relationship with you? I'm just wondering, do you treat every man like this, and then take the opportunity to make others misunderstand, and then extort money?"

"Master Xie, you should admit what you dare to do. That day, you clearly..."

"What clearly? That day, I also stayed at your house with my husband, has Liu Widow forgotten?" Seeing Liu Widow drifting further and further, Yu Qingwu came out of the carriage again and pulled Yan Qingqing out of the carriage together.

Seeing that there was another person inside, Liu Widow was slightly stunned.

However, before she could speak, Yan Qingqing also said, "That's right, besides Shixiong (senior male apprentice), Shijie (senior female apprentice), there was also me, and our other Shixiong and Shimei (junior male and female apprentices). There were seven or eight of us staying at your house, and the room fee was paid. That day, I slept in the same room with her. Liu Widow has a good memory, she forgot me and Shijie cleanly, but only remembers my Shixiong, and deliberately fabricated such ambiguous words. I don't know what she's thinking."

She was truly a promising child. She hadn't even been taught yet, and Qingqing was already on the right track.

Yu Qingwu laughed inwardly and didn't bother to waste any more words. She just looked at Liu Widow indifferently and said, "Liu Widow, you're saying these things just to provoke our relationship, but I believe in my husband, so your provocation is useless."

"Furthermore, you have repeatedly said that my husband bullied you orphans and widows and took advantage of you. What advantage did he take? We paid for the food and drinks we had before. If you say he bullied you or insulted your chastity, why didn't you say it before, but only now?"

"Of course, there is another possibility, that is, he prostituted you behind my back and didn't pay. If that's the case, I'm willing to pay for him. However, if that's the case, then who are you? Are you a secret prostitute?"

"I don't know, how would your two sons feel if they knew they had a mother who was a secret prostitute?"

After saying that, Yu Qingwu immediately took out a silver note and handed it to her.

However, Liu Widow was frozen at this moment.

Looking at the villagers who were all looking at her, looking at the jokes in their eyes, for a while, she didn't know whether to accept it or not.

If she accepted it, it would be admitting that she was a secret prostitute.

Once these villagers spread the word, it would inevitably reach her two sons' ears. How would her sons look at her as a mother then?

How would others criticize her children?

But if she didn't accept it…

That was a thousand taels, a whole thousand taels.

"Humph, Liu Widow, are you a secret prostitute or not?" Liu Widow was still hesitating, Yu Qingwu asked again, her eyebrows were smiling, and her tone was aggressive.

Liu Widow's face turned red, she bit her lip, and finally said, "I... I'm not a secret prostitute, but you ate and lived here that day, and also broke my furniture, a thousand taels is what I deserve..."

"Liu Widow, the house you live in isn't worth a hundred taels, where did a thousand taels of furniture come from? You're clearly extorting!" At this time, someone in the crowd immediately interrupted her.

They shouted, "I think we should send this Liu Widow to see the officials. She's becoming more and more arrogant in extorting people on the road..."

"Yes, yes, report it to the officials."

"Alright, since we're going to report it to the officials, then Niangzi (wife), let's not reason with her anymore."

"Originally, I thought her two children were pitiful, and wanted to let her off, but now she's clinging to me and won't let go, so I have no choice but to... eliminate the root, anyway, our family isn't short of money to compensate..."

Xie Jinyan sneered and didn't say anything more. He pulled Yu Qingwu into the carriage.

Liu Widow was still in a daze when she heard a horse's neigh.

"Ah!! Murder! Murder!" Seeing that Xie Jinyan was actually going to get serious, Liu Widow was so scared that she immediately fled in panic. Unfortunately, she was too slow. Before she could react, the carriage wheel ran over her right leg.

Liu Widow fell to the ground, covering her bloody leg, howling in pain, and even more in disbelief.

She couldn't believe that the other party really dared to take her life.

The villagers next to her were also stunned when they saw this scene. Although they were secretly happy in their hearts, they were also afraid that someone would really die.

"Quick, quick, go find a doctor!" Someone in the crowd shouted immediately.

Someone else sighed loudly, "Aiya, you young couple are too impulsive, I'm afraid you've completely let Liu Widow blackmail you!"

"Ah ah ah ah, my leg, my leg!" Liu Widow lay on the ground, in so much pain that she couldn't even shout anymore, her eyes were full of resentment, and she trembled as she howled, "You deliberately murdered me, I'm going to sue you!"

"Help me report to the officials, help me report to the officials!"

She screamed, and the surrounding villagers were also frightened, but... no one helped her report to the officials.

Seeing this, Yu Qingwu smiled and winked at Yan Qingqing, "Qingqing, go down and take a look at her. If she doesn't listen, help her loosen her bones."
