Han Zhuang took two steps and turned back to ask, “Has the letter that Master wrote to Madam arrived?”
“You brat…” Luo Qisheng did not know what to say. “No, it’ll probably arrive in a day or two. I’ll get someone to send it to you. Tell Madam not to worry. Everything’s going well on Master’s side.”
“Alright.” This was what Han Zhuang wanted to hear. He had to at least know some information. Otherwise, he really would not be able to answer if Ye Muyu asked about it.
On the other hand, at the city gate…
The Tang couple were dressed in white clothes, and the villagers were also wearing mourning clothes.
Luo An restrained the criminal and entered the county town.
The county town was quite lively at the moment. There were many commoners there.
Seeing this scene, some curious people went to ask what had happened.
Soon, the news spread.
It was said that an ex-servant of Landlord Wang’s family hid in the school of Xingshui Village and killed a student.
As for that student, it was said he had an elder sister at home. They originally planned to have her become a concubine of the Wang famiky’s Third Young Master. Who knew that she was unwilling to be forcefully snatched away, so she secretly hid, ruining the Third Young Master’s reputation and bringing disaster upon the family.
After this rumor came out, someone refuted it. This matter had nothing to do with the Wang family. It was that servant who wanted to help the Wang family’s Third Young Master.
The two rumors spread one after another. In less than fifteen minutes, the entire city’s citizens knew about it.
By the time Landlord Wang heard about the rumors in the county, it was already two hours later.
“Bang!” A vase was smashed to the ground. The middle-aged Landlord Wang, who had a fierce look on his face, was so angry that his eyes were about to spurt out. “What’s going on? Why did you only tell me such big news now?!”
“Old Master, this subordinate has been looking for you, but you said that we were not allowed to disturb you, so we were delayed,” the butler explained carefully.
It would have been better if he did not mention it. Once he mentioned it, Landlord Wang thought of him being schemed against and his business being stolen.
Unable to vent the anger in his heart, he punched and kicked the butler in front of him to vent his anger!
“Even if you didn’t come to me, you should have controlled the rumors beforehand. If you can’t even do such a small thing, what use do I have for you?” Landlord Wang kicked the butler in the chest. The butler almost could not get up. His face turned pale and he quickly knelt and begged for mercy. ‘What’s the situation now?” Landlord Wang took a deep breath and asked.
The butler quickly explained the situation.
“Find out who spread this news. Also, kill Zhang San in the county office. We can’t let him live past tonight.” Landlord Wang was so angry that his head was throbbing. He instantly understood that someone was deliberately plotting against them.
If he did not explain the situation, the other party would spread the news again. This rumor would definitely slowly ruin his family.
However, the commoners were more and more afraid that it had something to do with the Wang family. People were all . The more they tried to cover it up, the more suspicious they would be.
The only thing he could do now was to break this rumor.
‘Where’s that woman called Tang Rou? Is he still in Third Young Miss’s courtyard?” Landlord Wang narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Yes,” the butler nodded. “It was her idea to kill Tang Bao.”
“Since this woman has brought us so much trouble, send her to my third son’s bed. In the afternoon, let him bring her around the county and say that she has long been his concubine.”
“Send another hundred taels of silver to the Tang family’s parents to offer condolences.” Landlord Wang narrowed his eyes confidently. This way, the rumors would be dispelled. Once Zhang San died in prison, the case would be closed..
