Chapter 673 A Character that Hates Evil

Mrs. Liu listened to Bai Yunxi's humble tone and looked at her peaceful expression. She turned to Zhang Yiren and smiled.

"Look, Mrs. Bai is a lucky person at first glance. Her son is so up to date and has become a famous teacher. Everything will be fine in the future.

Listen, people who are good at talking are not always nice. As soon as they opened their mouths, they praised both of them.

"Thank you for your good advice. From now on, if Xiaowu encounters Mrs. Liu while walking in the county, please take more care of her." Baiyunxi chuckled lightly and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

"Oh, what you said is ridiculous, isn't it? The child is talented in reading, and even my master praised him. I am not afraid of your laughter. If the dean hadn't been quick, my master would have caught him in front of him."

Madam Liu said, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and laughed,

"My husband is quite young. He had been thinking about taking in a student a few years ago, but he never caught his eye. This time he finally saw one, but he was snatched away by the dean after only two days of fun."

Hearing this, Bai Yunxi was stunned. She didn't know about this, and Xiao Wu had never mentioned it to her. Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Zhang Yiren and found that she only smiled with her lips pursed and did not answer, so this must not be a problem.

Mrs. Liu looked at Bai Yunxi's uninformed look and said aloud,

"You don't know about relationships... When Fucheng announced the list, my husband had an idea in his mind. He just wanted to discuss it with the dean when he came back. He said that he was old and had no intention of becoming an official. You can accept a student, pass on the mantle, and help him become an official.

"Who would have known that before my master mentioned it, the dean had already taken the person under his wing, which made my master feel regretful for a while... My master said that An Sheng was better off following the dean than staying with her. There was no fighting.”

Although afterward, the dean brought him a jar of wine that he had treasured, saying that he was thanking him for enduring the pain of parting with her, this was considered a thing of the past.

Baiyunxi: "..."

So why is her Xiaowu so popular?

Yes, no one dislikes top academics. In her place, she would also be willing to accept a smart and talented apprentice.

Mrs. Liu looked at Bai Yunxi's surprised eyes and burst into laughter.

"My master said that a gentleman should have the grace and magnanimity of an adult, so I came to congratulate you with a gift."

Listening to Mrs. Liu's teasing, Zhang Yiren gave her a look.

"You have such a sharp mouth, most people are no match for you, and I can't speak to you anyway. Fortunately, you have benefited from it, and you can enjoy your mouth."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them couldn't help laughing.

Bai Yunxi curled her mouth and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Sure enough, the speaking level of people differed greatly depending on their location.

While they were talking, the woman at the door came in to report that the county magistrate's wife had arrived with her children.

Zhang Yiren heard the county magistrate's family and turned to look at the two of them, "The Maru people are here, let's go together to greet them."

"Come on, let's go together. This kid is awesome, we can't neglect him. After all, he is a local official, so we have to respect him."

Mrs. Liu stood up holding her mother-in-law's hand and spoke with a smile.

During this period, the imperial court gave preferential treatment to scholars, and scholars were not allowed to kneel when they were in office, let alone when they were elected. Therefore, the families of these scholars do not have the same awe and fear towards the county magistrate that the common people in the countryside have towards the magistrate.

Listening to Madam Liu's tone, Bai Yunxi's eyebrows moved almost imperceptibly. It seemed that she didn't like this Ma Ruren very much.

"Pfft~, the lady who holds the title of judge is not only ruthless in her words, she is also so unreasonable and unforgiving."

Zhang Yiren looked outside the door and patted her hand.

"Even if she is a stepmother, she is also the head mother of the Xie family and the wife of the county magistrate. Sister Liu can't stand it, so she has to endure it, so as not to make herself unhappy, so why bother."

"I understand what you are saying. I just can't stand the way she pretends to be a good wife and mother. If you are really virtuous, you shouldn't occupy your first wife's private property, use dead people's things to keep yourself smooth, and don't be afraid of someone looking for you at night. Is she collecting debt?"

Zhang Yiren looked at her helplessly. This person really had a jealous temper. If we take it seriously, the most blameworthy person is the ungrateful man. If he hadn't handed over his first wife's private property to his step-brother, how could that man have been so new to the house without knowing what he was doing?

Of course, if a slap can't make a difference, Ma Ruren does have a chance. A man who can coax will willingly hand over his original wife's things.

If the Duan family hadn't still cared about their nephew and helped get the dowry back together, Xie Dalangjun's life would have been even more difficult.

The child was alone in Xie's house, which was indeed a bit lonely.

They are all the first wives, and they are naturally hostile to their step-wives. Perhaps this is their fate.

"Fortunately, with the help of the Duan family, Brother Yu has support behind him, so he won't be a lonely tree." If it weren't for the help of his mother-in-law, Brother Yu would be really pitiful.

Mrs. Liu took the tea to moisten her throat and hummed softly,

"I still think the Duan family is too soft, and they should all leave without leaving a cent."

"That's not right. After all, we still have to take care of brother Yu's child. Without his mother, he would be pitiful. If there is no sweetness at all, it will be even harder for him to live in the Xie family... Fortunately, brother Yu has grown up, and everything has changed. It’s over.”

A teenage boy, no matter how scheming he is, can't help but be isolated and disliked by his family. Her father just felt sorry for Brother Yu's situation and always took good care of him.

"Hmph, in the county where farts are louder, anyone can hear their farts. No matter how much you pretend, you are not virtuous, so just rely on..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Zhang Yiren's cough.

"Ahem...Sister Liu, with your temper, I guess the person who sees you will have to stay down and be cautious, otherwise you will bring down the person's face with a gun and a stick."

The other party is Mr. Xie's second wife, who is married to the matchmaker, and he also has a decree. Even though that person was pretentious, he still had to give face to her in that position. If she was embarrassed, she would definitely have to live with her words at the banquet.

Besides, as a lady who holds high positions, she poops and pees at every turn, how indecent it is.

Mrs. Liu also knew that what she said was inappropriate. She coughed lightly and glanced at Baiyunxi.

"Ahem~, Bai family girl, don't mind me. I'm just such a bad person. I always want to say a few words if I don't like it. Forget it, I'll endure it today and won't say another word."

Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of his mouth. It was difficult to hold back such a fiery temper. Once there was a spark, it would explode immediately.

Zhang Yiren looked at her helplessly. The three of them walked out of the hall together, passed through the Moon Gate, and went to pick up the county magistrate's wife.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Bai Yunxi was still quite curious, especially about the horse boy.

Ever since she met Xie Yu and witnessed his dangerous fall from a building, she had a preconceived grudge against this mother-in-law and her son.
