There is a huge open space on the side of the street outside Huanyun Pavilion.
At this moment, the open space was full of people. There were twenty or thirty tables there, and countless people gathered together to talk and laugh.
From time to time they would whisper to each other.
"Tell me, what kind of medicine is sold in the saint's gourd? Is there any happy event for inviting so many people to dinner?"
"The last time the patriarch held a banquet, it was when the second young lady got married."
"It's funny when you talk about it. The patriarch held such a big banquet at that time. It was originally for the saint, but it turned out to be a big advantage for the second lady."
"After all, the second lady is still their daughter."
"Isn't that right? They are both daughters, so what's the difference?"
There were also several tables where people were talking about heart disease.
"Hey, is the second lady's internal disease cured? I heard that all the doctors in the clan have been invited. With so many doctors treating her, she must be cured, right?"
"Forget it, haven't you heard about what happened last night?"
"What happened last night?"
"Let me tell you, I just heard from the person at the next table that yesterday the second lady was going to elope with Mr. Lin, the fish seller!"
"Oh my god, isn't it?"
"I've also heard that Mr. Lin is very handsome. No wonder the second lady is attracted to him. But after all, she is also a married woman now. Tsk, tsk, it's immoral!"
"No wonder the Lin family moved early in the morning. So that's what happened..."
"What does that have to do with today's banquet?"
"When the saint invited everyone, didn't she say that she wanted to celebrate her escape from the tiger's mouth?"
"Didn't she run away with someone back then? Now that she's back, how can she call it an escape?"
"That's right, it's pity that the patriarch is so wise and powerful, but his two daughters are so ignorant..."
"The most pitiable thing is Mr. Li. His wife ran away on the day of the wedding. He finally married another one, and now he has to run away with her again. It's so miserable."
"..."
When the patriarch and his wife rushed out, the open space opposite was already crowded with people, and it seemed densely packed at first glance.
Almost all the available seats were occupied, and there were even many people standing nearby. Those people were obviously there to watch the fun.
Even standing on the opposite side, I could hear the discussion of the crowd. The patriarch's face turned red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't I tell you not to publicize this matter? Who spread the word about what happened last night?"
All the servants behind him lowered their heads.
Hua Yue said earnestly: "Where is Xiaoyin? What is she doing to make such a big fuss? Even if she is angry, she won't make fun of the whole family!"
The clan leader was so angry that he had a splitting headache. However, he couldn't get angry in front of so many clan members, so he could only stand angrily at the door, scanning the crowd with his eyes.
Suddenly, Liu Shengsheng walked to them.
"Are you looking for Xiaoyin?"
Hua Yue frowned, "Miss, do you know where Xiaoyin is?"
Liu Shengsheng nodded, "I know, she went to the woodshed."
"What? What is she doing there?"
Hua Yue asked anxiously: "Are you looking for trouble with Xiaoru?"
Liu Shengsheng raised her eyebrows and said, "No, Xiaoyin is kind-hearted, why would you bother her?"
"Girl, be honest, do you know what Xiaoyin wants to do?"
Liu Shengsheng nodded, "I know, she wants to seek justice for herself."
The patriarch frowned, "Seeking justice? With so many people gathered here, what kind of justice does she want?"
"Lord Patriarch, and Madam Hua, I wonder if Xiaoyin is considered your biological daughter in your hearts?"
Liu Shengsheng asked suddenly.
Hua Yue was very helpless, "What is the girl asking knowingly?"
"If so, I would be relieved. If in your heart
With her as my daughter, I hope you can support her today and cooperate with her later. "
Liu Shengsheng's voice was very calm, and then she said: "Actually, you don't need to cooperate. You just need to stand here, don't say a word, don't make a sound. If you can hold it back, you will be doing her a huge favor. .”
Hua Yue said blankly: "Girl, what are you doing?"
"You will know later. Remember my words. No matter what happens later, you two must be quiet."
The patriarch said coldly, "Why should we listen to you?"
Liu Shengsheng smiled and said, "It concerns your daughter's life and safety. If you open your mouth, Xiaoyin will die."
Of course she made it up on purpose.
But the words she made up instantly frightened Hua Yue, "You, what did you say?"
Liu Shengsheng smiled again, "Just kidding."
After saying this, she put away the smile on her face, "But this matter is indeed related to Xiaoyin's life and death. It is very important to her. I hope you two won't say anything and try to take care of the people behind you." , tell them not to make a sound either.”
After saying that, she walked towards the crowd.
At the same time, Wanyin finally appeared in everyone's sight.
Behind her, Yi Zhou and several men were seen pulling a carriage. After the carriage stopped, the men lifted a dark object down.
That thing looked like an iron cage. The iron cage was very large and covered with black cloth on all sides, as if there was some ferocious beast locked inside.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the black iron cage. People were chattering non-stop, seeming to be curious about what was inside the cage.
"Everyone, be quiet! The banquet will start in a moment. Before we start eating, I would like to invite everyone to watch a good show!"
Wanyin's voice was very loud. She stood on a stool and said loudly:
"There is one thing that has troubled me for a long time. It is about my reputation. Everyone said that I ran away with someone. Today I want to prove my innocence. While proving my innocence, I also want everyone to know all the facts. The truth, but I need everyone to cooperate with me, wait a minute, everyone should be silent!"
Hearing these words, people from all directions fell silent instantly.
Although there were still many people whispering to each other, Wanyin continued: "As long as everyone present can keep quiet, everyone will receive ten cents afterward!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence.
Although he only had ten cents, he had a theater to watch and money to earn, so who would have trouble with money?
But Li Fucheng suddenly rushed in front of her and asked through gritted teeth: "What is in this cage? Is it her?"
Wanyin looked at him irritably, "It's none of your business. I hope you get out of the way."
"Are you crazy? She is not an animal, how can you put her in a cage?"
"You are the one who is really crazy, right? She has treated you like that, and you still come to help her?"
Li Fucheng said seriously: "I'm not trying to help her, I just think it's wrong for you to do this! No matter how big a mistake she made, you shouldn't drag her out to the street to embarrass her! She loves face so much, if She won’t be able to bear it knowing that she is being viewed as a joke!”
