The third prince frightened Madam Li so much that she turned pale and shouted to the maid beside her: "Quick, go and call the master!" The maid ran out of the shop in a hurry. Du Wanchun stepped forward and said to Madam Li, "Madam Li, you just heard that Magistrate Li wanted to marry Madam Zhang instead of Madam Liu from the Rouge Shop."

Madam Li squatted on the ground, biting her lip, feeling embarrassed, she said unhappily, "So what? Zhang Qiuhe still hooked up with my master, otherwise why would he come here every other day!"

Madam Xu, the proprietress of the teahouse, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Madam Li, you are really mistaken. All the incense that Magistrate Li bought was given to Madam Liu."

Madam Li's face immediately turned pale and her pupils widened, "What, you said that he bought incense and gave it to that woman?!"

Madam Xu took a melon seed and started to eat it, "Not only incense, he bought a lot of tea from my place and gave it all to Madam Liu."

Madam Li stood up with the help of the table. Perhaps because of her big movement, a large incense burner on the table suddenly fell down and hit Madam Li's head directly.

"Ouch! My head!"

She held her head and cried out in pain.

The maid beside her hurried over and said, "Madam, are you okay?"

Madam Li looked at the broken incense burner on the ground, raised her head and cursed at Du Wanchun, "Your incense burner hit my head!"

Du Wanchun bent down to pick up the fragments on the ground and said, "Madam Li, you have to understand clearly that it was not my incense burner that hit you, but you smashed my incense burner."

As he said, he wiped the ash on the incense burner, "This incense burner is made of white jade, and it is worth at least thirty taels of silver. In this way, you will compensate me with twenty-five taels."

The incense burner looks like white jade, but it is not.

Du Wanchun thought it looked good, so she put it in the shop to burn incense. Today, Madam Li made trouble in her shop and caused her to lose a lot of money. She must get it back!

Madam Li frowned and said angrily, "What do you mean I smashed it! I didn't send you to see the official, but you turned around and said that I smashed your things!"

Zhou Ruiyuan quickly protected Du Wanchun behind him.

Du Wanchun said to the people watching behind him, "Did you see clearly just now? It was Madam Li who bumped into my table and knocked down the incense burner?"

The people watching the excitement nodded and said, "That's right! We all saw it. It was Madam Li who bumped into it!"

"Yes, we all saw it clearly."

"Madam Li, you broke someone's incense burner, you have to pay for it. You can't bully us just because you are the wife of the county magistrate!"

Madam Li is famous for her domineering behavior in Cheng'an County. She is arrogant to the vendors nearby and never treats them as human beings.

These vendors have long disliked Madam Li.

Madam Li listened to them saying this and took two steps back with a guilty conscience.

There was still a wound on her forehead, her face was pale, and she looked very embarrassed.

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Madam Li, pay the money!"

The third prince and Aunt Zhou also joined in the fun.

"Pay the silver quickly!"

The Third Prince's voice was very loud, and Madam Li trembled again when she heard it. She couldn't stay any longer. She took out more than twenty taels of silver with shaking hands, put them on the table, and strode out of the door, ready to find Madam Liu from the rouge shop.

Madam Xu, who was still eating melon seeds on the side, suddenly threw away the melon seed shells in her hand, stopped her, and said with a smile: "Madam Li, don't go to Madam Liu."

Madam Li paused and looked up at her in surprise.

Madam Xu clapped her hands, and seeing that there were so many people, she said loudly: "Madam Li, isn't it enough that you have harmed Madam Liu? She and County Magistrate Li have been childhood sweethearts, and the two families have been engaged for a long time, and you took a fancy to the newly appointed county magistrate and forced him to marry you!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard it. They didn't expect that the young lady in the rouge shop would have such a thing.

Madam Zhou pulled Du Wanchun and whispered, "No wonder Magistrate Li goes to the rouge shop every day. It turns out there is such a thing."

Mrs. Li's face turned pale and she scolded Madam Xu, "You bitch, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Madam Xu smiled slowly and said, "Everyone in Lin County knows that you forced Magistrate Li to marry you, and you found someone to make trouble at Madam Liu's house and killed Madam Liu's parents!"

As she spoke, her voice became colder and colder, "You also found a group of men to bully Madam Liu! And then sold her to a brothel."
