Don't You Know Family Scandals Shouldn't Be Aired in Public?

In the dead of night, a dozen or so men were seen entering the courtyard from the back gate of the Cui Family.

The Old Scholar Tree woke Zhou Wanwan up immediately.

Zhou Wanwan scoffed lightly:

"Men's hearts are all black. Actually, Madam Cui is quite good-looking."

Her dowry was all given to the Cui Family, so why is the Cui Family treating her like this?

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled softly:

"When a woman has no more use, she will naturally be abandoned, especially since she has terrible judgment in people."

If we had chosen those with good character, things might not have turned out this way.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, and the Old Scholar Tree asked, "What do we do now?"

They can deal with Madam Cui however they want, and we'll deal with Cui Zhiyi the same way.

Move Cui Zhiyi to Madam Cui's room, and then see what those people are up to!

Let's just sit back and watch the show.

The Old Scholar Tree was very fast, and soon switched the two of them.

Cui Zhiyi was sleeping soundly, while Madam Cui was taken to Cui Wanwan's place.

When she woke up, she found Cui Zhining and Zhou Wanwan staring at her intently. Startled, she exclaimed, "Hey! What are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Cui Zhining smiled and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I came to see you."

Madam Cui looked at the room and said, "How did I end up here? Isn't this your courtyard?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "It is indeed my courtyard. I've come to invite you to watch a good show."

Upon hearing that there would be a good show, Madam Cui perked up.

Zhou Wanwan had the Old Scholar Tree lead them directly to the rooftop. She reminded them, "Cui Zhining, no matter what you see, you mustn't make a sound, understand? You can only speak when I tell you to."

Cui Zhining quickly nodded and said, "I understand. I can only speak when Miss tells me to."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly. This Cui Zhining was very well-behaved, and she really liked her.

Now, apart from being able to eat a little, she doesn't have to worry about anything.

The key issue is that Cui Zhining's mental age is not high; she's like a five or six-year-old girl. She must have been affected while she was in the womb.

No matter how capable Zhou Wanwan is, she can't reverse this situation.

Once they reached the rooftop, they heard a voice from inside. "It must be almost done by now, right?"

"This Madam Cui is quite beautiful, how come she looks so young?"

"Indeed! Lord Cui is truly blessed with good fortune in women!"

"Shh! Hurry, the medicine is taking effect."

Cui Wenyuan was discussing matters with more than a dozen prominent families. "We're sure to make a fortune from this grain and salt deal."

Nie Shi'an laughed and said, "Brother Cui deserves the most credit this time."

Cui Wenyuan waved his hand and said, "Not at all, we're all in the same boat. It's more fun when we all make money together."

Everyone echoed their agreement, and then someone rushed over, saying, "Master, something bad has happened! Something seems amiss in Madam's room, and I'm not sure what's wrong."

Cui Wenyuan shouted loudly:

Don't you know that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public?

"Now that everyone knows, let's go and see what the lady of the Cui Family is up to."

A large group of people hurried into the room.

Cui Wenyuan's lips curled slightly; this time, he was determined to nail Zhao Qiuping to the pillar of shame.

Once everyone saw what happened inside the house, Zhao Qiuping would never be able to recover.

Then he can target the Zhao Family, Zhao Family are nothing more than imperial merchants.

All he has are a few stinking coins; it would be easy for Cui Wenyuan to squeeze the Zhao Family dry.

Once they've squeezed dry, it will be Zhao Qiuping's death day.

He squinted and heard sounds coming from inside the house.

A look of shock crossed the faces of all the officials, and one of them couldn't help but say, "This lady's voice is quite loud. Should we leave?"

"Yeah! Isn't it inappropriate for us to come here?"

Cui Wenyuan said with a livid face, "Zhao Qiuping is so shameless, everyone should see her for what she's made of. What do I have to be afraid of?"

After saying that, Cui Wenyuan kicked the door open.

The room was in complete chaos. Many officials covered their eyes, unable to bear the sight. "Oh dear! This is too messy! What kind of order is this?"

"I'm too embarrassed to even look. This is even more disgraceful than prostitutes in a brothel! It's an insult to civilization, a disgrace to civilization!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... This is hardly a lady from a respectable family; she's practically a woman of the night."

"But your wife is quite young!"

Everyone stared at her face, and someone suddenly said, "Why does this not seem like Madam Cui? I've seen Madam Cui before, and she didn't look like this!"

"Oh dear! Something's not right! This is clearly Miss Cui Family..."

Cui Wenyuan's expression suddenly changed, and he roared, "Get out! Get out right now! This is my youngest daughter, Cui Zhining! Zhining, how could you do such a thing?"

Madam Cui trembled with anger. Zhou Wanwan whispered in her ear, "It's time for you to go out. Take Zhining with you."

Madam Cui and Cui Zhining rushed into the courtyard, and Madam Cui wailed loudly:

Zhiyi! What happened to you?

Who are these dozen or so people? How... how could you do such a thing?

Everyone was whispering among themselves, "Is this Cui Zhiyi or Cui Zhining?"

Cui Wenyuan shouted, "Zhao Qiuping, are you blind? The person lying on the bed is clearly Cui Zhining!"

Madam Cui sneered:

"Bullshit! Everyone knows my Cui Zhining only 8 years old, while this kid lying in bed is over 10! What are you up to?"

Cui Wenyuan, Cui Zhining is your biological daughter. After this incident, you actually blame all the mistakes on your own daughter!

I just want to ask, what exactly is your relationship with Cui Zhiyi?

Could it be that you and Cui Zhiyi having an affair?

Cui Zhiyi is your niece! You shameless old man, you wouldn't even spare your own niece."

Zhao Qiuping has no shame; since both her sons are dead, what does she care about her reputation?

Cui Wenyuan clutched his chest in anger and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? These are all officials' wives!"

Zhao Qiuping laughed heartily:

"I only say this because they are the wives of officials!"

Your niece is immoral; she did such a despicable thing before she was even married.

You actually want to pin this on your own daughter? How shameless!

Cui Wenyuan tugged at her sleeve and said:

"Madam, Zhining has mental problems; she'll probably never find Ruyi in this lifetime."

Zhiyi are different; she's destined to marry into a noble family, and her reputation cannot be tarnished.

Zhao Qiuping forcefully shook off his hand and said:

"She's just your niece, not my own daughter. What does her reputation have to do with me?"

Moreover, this is something she brought upon herself; she has no one else to blame.
