Chapter 1201: Day 1 Chapter 201: Threat Chapter 1201: Day 1 Chapter 201: Threat The carpenter who made the signboards for Su Yunjin last time did a good job, so this time Su Yunjin and Gu Ya went to the same place to have them made.

While Su Yunjin was busy with the signboards, Su Ningxiu encountered some trouble. After the young master of the Wu Family was taken to the Governor’s Office, the old master Wu tried to find a way to save his son.

Old master Wu had three sons in total, two from concubines and one from his legitimate wife. The young master from the Wu Family was the legitimate son and second only to old master Wu in status.

Despite the young master’s frivolous and unruly behavior, old master Wu valued him highly and often turned a blind eye to his actions.

The young master was fond of women, and though old master Wu disapproved of his son’s indulgent lifestyle, it wasn’t entirely a bad thing. The young master had many women, and there was a chance he could father several grandsons.

The ancients valued the growth and prosperity of the family most of all, and both old master Wu and his wife were no exception; they hoped the young master would father many children. The young master did not disappoint, having several sons and daughters. The young master had committed offenses in the past, but the Wu Family had deep pockets.

The troubles caused by the young master in the past were all resolved by old master Wu with some silver. This time, the trouble the young master had caused wasn’t too severe and could’ve been solved with some silver too. However, this time, the young master had provoked Su Yunjin’s elder sister Ningxiu and her family.

Because Su Yunjin was well-connected with the Prince Qi Residence, the Magistrate couldn’t just accept old master Wu’s silver as before and release the young master.

Old master Wu, unable to save his son, was furious and decided to settle accounts with Su Ningxiu and her husband Wang Meng; who had dared to trouble the Wu Family in town?

With Su Ningxiu and Wang Meng’s involvement, his son Wu Min was imprisoned, and old master Wu would not let the couple off easily. He brought a group of people to make trouble at the Wangji Rice Shop.

The usually bustling Wangji Rice Shop scared away its customers after the Wu Family’s visit, and with Wang Meng’s impulsive nature, trouble brewed as old master Wu brought his people to cause a commotion.

Wang Meng threw his fists and joined the fray.

But the Wu Family’s servants were numerous, and despite Wang Meng’s strength, he was outnumbered. Su Ningxiu and Wang Meng were trapped in the Wangji Rice Shop until old master Wu appeared before nightfall, threatening Su Ningxiu and Wang Meng, demanding they go to the County Governor’s Office the next day to admit to false accusations and proclaim his son Wu Min innocent.

Otherwise, the Wu Family’s people would trouble them every day, threatening to burn down the Wangji Rice Shop and even the house of Wang Meng and Su Ningxiu in the countryside.

After making his threats, old master Wu left. Wang Meng, furious, clenched his fists, ready to fight again, but Su Ningxiu held him back.

“Husband, don’t be rash. My younger sister and brother-in-law have many ideas; let’s consult them on this matter. My brother-in-law and sister will help us resolve it.”

Wang Meng suppressed his impulse.

Hearing Su Ningxiu’s words, he closed the shop and went with Su Ningxiu to Su Yunjin’s house. After hearing her elder sister and brother-in-law’s story, Su Yunjin thought about how the young master’s father had the audacity to threaten her elder sister’s family?

Heh!

Like father, like son indeed!

It’s no wonder old master Wu is so shameless.

No wonder he raised someone like the young master.

“Elder sister, brother-in-law, don’t be afraid. The Wu Family doesn’t have the power to cover the sky with one hand in this town; we don’t need to be afraid of them!”
