 Chapter 299: Slap in the Face

"What happened?" Ye Muyu responded and when Zhang Cong heard her voice, he hurriedly walked to the kitchen door, panting for breath. He explained, "Madam, it's like this. There's a rumor in the village that the fifth mistress is fighting with Mrs. Cao, supposedly because of Master."


Zhang Cong then relayed the information he had gathered, word by word to Ye Muyu.


After listening, Ye Muyu fell silent for a moment. She never expected that Aunt Qian would directly get into a fight with Mrs. Xu to defend Chu Heng's reputation.


However, she was very satisfied.


Ever since the incident at the name-changing banquet last time, she hadn't treated the Cao family as her own. Even when she encountered them in the village later on, she didn't feel the need to greet them.


Now, the other party dared to speak ill of Chu Heng?


There must be a reason.


"Zhang Cong, go find out what the Cao family's reaction is within their clan regarding this matter."


After giving instructions to Zhang Cong, she called Hu Shi over. She placed the freshly cooked vegetarian dishes into the pot of hot pot soup for flavor making it ready to eat.


"Madam, should I deliver these to the villagers who spoke up for Master today?" Hu Shi asked for confirmation while placing the bowl of hot pot vegetables into a basket.


"Yes, when delivering them, just mention that we made some fresh food at home for everyone to try. No need to say more. We don't want to give others a chance to catch us in a mistake and let Mrs. Cao's family find an opportunity to accuse us."


However, she wouldn't let an opportunity to strike back pass by.


Together with Zhang Shu, Hu Shi, and Nenya, they carried baskets in their hands and delivered a portion to each of the families who had spoken up for Chu Heng during the quarrel.


This news quickly spread throughout the village.


Mrs. Xu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fang, had just brought a doctor to see her mother-in-law's face and passed by Mrs. Liu's house.


Mrs. Liu detained her.


Mrs. Liu was holding a bowl of hot pot vegetables, freshly delivered by Hu Shi.


"Oh, Mrs. Fang, did you receive the fresh food that Scholar's wife sent to you?" Mrs. Liu deliberately turned the bowl in front of Mrs. Fang, letting the fragrance waft into her nose.


Mrs. Fang understood the implied meaning in Mrs. Liu's words and instantly felt a bad premonition.


Could it be that Mrs. Ye sent food to the villagers who defended her husband today? But they certainly wouldn't send any to the Cao family!


That would be too embarrassing.


Mrs. Fang had thin skin and didn't respond to Mrs. Liu's words at all. She hurriedly said, "I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."


Watching the other party hurriedly leave, Mrs. Liu laughed cheerfully.


Mrs. Fang stumbled a bit, her face turning red. What followed on the way back was far worse than this initial encounter. She realized that meeting Mrs. Liu was just the beginning.


"Mrs. Fang, did Mrs. Cao's face really swell from the beating?" This was a question from a villager who heard the news later.


"Mrs. Fang, I heard that Mrs. Ye sent fresh food to many families. They say it's delicious. Did your Cao family..."


Mrs. Fang was afraid that the other party would ask, "Does your Cao family have any?" If she said no, it would be clear that Mrs. Ye held a grudge against them.


If she said yes, she really didn't think they did!


"Mrs. Ye's cooking is so delicious. Thanks to Mrs. Cao, otherwise my wife wouldn't have such a treat."


"Yeah, Mrs. Ye is generous and fair. She just spoke up for justice and even sent gifts to show gratitude."


"Granny, Mrs. Ye is really kind. I heard that Ziluo made it into the top one hundred this time. I'll play with her from now on."
