Hao Jian scratched his head awkwardly, "Indeed, a little."

"Then what about after another four hours? Or three days of hunger?"

Hao Jian blinked and suddenly opened his mouth wide, "I understand, isn’t this also that principle, that what you can’t have is always the best?"

"More or less."

"I got it, I’ll go tell the beast right away." Hao Jian said and ran off in a hurry.

As May arrived, the weather became thoroughly hot, and everyone put on lightweight summer clothes. Chai Qin, who had gone out to investigate the Shen Family, and Yang Xiong finally returned.

"Madam, mission accomplished." Chai Qin had tanned quite a bit, but she was in high spirits.

"The Shen Family is indeed despicable." Yang Xiong appeared somewhat indignant.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Ruxin looked at the evidence they had collected, a glint of coldness flashing in her eyes. The Shen Family dared to plot against her husband, so they should be prepared to face her wrath. With this evidence, as long as the Emperor doesn’t show favoritism, the Shen Family will collapse.

"Madam, what should we do next?" Chai Qin looked at Yang Ruxin.

"What happens next is not our concern." Yang Ruxin smiled, "Yang Xiong, I need to trouble you again. Deliver these to the Crown Prince." She took out half of the evidence and handed it over, "Make sure to deliver it personally to the Crown Prince."

Yang Xiong took the evidence, glanced at Chai Qin, and then bowed and left.

"Madam, why don’t you send out all the evidence?" Chai Qin was puzzled.

"Shen Wanxing has been operating for so many years." Yang Ruxin sneered, "It’s impossible to hit the mark in one attempt, so we need a dual strategy."

Chai Qin frowned.

"The evidence in Yang Xiong’s hands is not enough to destroy the Shen Family, but it can provoke the Emperor’s displeasure and suspicion." Yang Ruxin glanced at Chai Qin, "At that time, Shen Wanxing will inevitably struggle to protect himself. Presenting these then will severely slap the Shen Family in the face. By then, even the Emperor will be displeased."

"But isn’t giving them all to the Crown Prince the same?"

Yang Ruxin shook her head, "The Crown Prince has to consider many aspects before taking any action."

Chai Qin frowned even more, still not quite understanding, but didn’t continue to ask. After all, she truly admired the madam’s way of handling things.

In the blink of an eye, it was May 16th. Luo Qiaoqiao bid farewell to her father and second uncle, and married Ma Laiwang.

Although Luo Qiaoqiao was not sold off, Yang Ruxin still prepared a dowry of 200 taels of silver for her.

Although the Ma Family tidied up the house, Ma Laiwang didn’t bring his wife to the family’s old house. Instead, after starting work at the medicinal wine distillery, he applied to Yang Ruxin for a small courtyard.

However, the wedding ceremony was still held at the old house.

Though the Ma Family thought it was a bit inappropriate, they understood, because the Ma house smelled worse than a pigsty. Only Ma Qiang and Ma Laiwang had gotten used to it, and anyone else would be overwhelmed by the stench.

As their son was getting married, they tidied up the house a bit, but it still wasn’t much better.

Although Yang Ruxin didn’t personally attend, since her large belly made it inconvenient, Erni, who attended the wedding, said that as soon as she entered, she turned and vomited, and many people didn’t even step through the door.

But regardless, Ma Laiwang finally got married.

When returning to visit three days later, Luo Qiaoqiao and Ma Laiwang made a special visit to bow to Yang Ruxin. Judging by their appearance, the couple seemed to get along well.
