Chapter 817: Chapter 817 Farce

Nanny Sun spoke with a soaring spirit.

In the crowd, Xuexue, disguised as a young man, quietly nodded in approval. She thought to herself that Nanny Sun has always been capable of standing on her own. Indeed, she hadn’t misjudged her.

Xuexue had watched the entire farce with Zhang San from beginning to end, finding nothing particularly surprising in it.

Situ Qinger was really too impatient, to actually bother Prince Pu over a brothel’s name, causing him to intervene and ruin the Qinger Building. She couldn’t believe they had such audacious ideas.

In her past life, she didn’t know if she had been blinded by lard to actually be harmed to death by such a person. It really wasn’t worth it.

After all, it was her kindness that had brought about disaster. Therefore, Situ Xueer secretly vowed that in this life, she would never again entertain the notion of so-called kindness.

The woman, upon hearing this, was ecstatic to learn of such good fortune. She grabbed Zhang San’s arm, sobbing with joy, “Husband, husband, did you hear that? The Old Hag is willing to let us off the hook! Our whole family is saved, this is wonderful, sob sob… haha…”

It was as if she had found salvation in a desperate situation – the woman was so ecstatic that she alternated between crying and laughing.

Indeed, it didn’t matter if they themselves died, but at home they had the elderly and the young. If pushed by debt, they could all be driven to a dead end.

Now, Nanny Sun said, as long as Zhang San confessed to being behind the disturbance at the Qinger Building, they would be forgiven a debt of one hundred and fifty taels.

Hearing this news was like finding salvation from desperation. It would be strange if the woman wasn’t crying tears of joy.

Watching his wife cry and laugh alternately, Zhang San was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. He had lived his life in a muddled way, only pursuing pleasure and forgetting that his family at home was suffering. Extending his hand, he used his sleeve to wipe away the woman’s tears, saying with great guilt, “Wife, don’t cry. It hurts me to see you like this.”

“Mmm, I won’t cry. But you hasten and make it clear to them, who exactly asked you to cause trouble here. If you delay, and they regret their offer, our entire family is done for.”

“Alright!”

Zhang San turned around and said to Nanny Sun, “Let’s go in, and I’ll tell you everything.”

Now it was Nanny Sun’s turn to be unhappy. Exposing Prince Pu’s conspiracy required more people to know about it, the better – this way, he wouldn’t dare to cause trouble at the Qinger Building again: “No, whatever you have to say, say it here, in front of everyone.”

She even turned to the onlookers and loudly said, “I believe everyone is very curious about who wants to frame Qinger Building, right?”

The onlookers, as expected, agreed: “Yes! Who is so morally bankrupt to come up with something as vicious as syphilis? Scared me so much I nearly wet my pants.”

“Exactly, I thought I had gotten syphilis too, my heart was thumping wildly.”

“If your heart isn’t thumping, wouldn’t that mean you’re dead?”

“Hahaha!”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Knowing that the syphilis was a baseless accusation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt in the mood to joke around.

“This…!” Zhang San hesitated, uncertain. The power of Prince Pu was not something he, a mere commoner, could contend with.

“Hey, you blockhead! What are you hesitating for? Is our family’s livelihood not more important than some honor? Why are you still thinking about covering for someone else?” The woman standing at the side was anxious. They had finally found a way out, and she didn’t want her husband to ruin it.

Zhang San thought about it too. He was afflicted with a terminal illness; he was already on a dead-end path. He wouldn’t be afraid even if it was the Emperor’s Father himself who appeared.

Having realized this, Zhang San gritted his teeth: “Fine! Since that’s the case, I shall tell everyone here why I came to frame the Qinger Building.”
