When the enchantress Ruonan giggled and said that it was absolutely right, all the maids and servants present glared at her.
This female bandit deceived Hua'er and kidnapped her son-in-law, intending to rob him of his money and kill him. She was so shameless. If her son-in-law was not so lucky and capable, he would have been robbed of his money and killed by this female bandit!

Contempt value +100
Alienation value +100
... ...
The maids and old women present almost simultaneously developed a strong dislike and contempt for the witch Ruonan, and decided to distance themselves from her and put her on their blacklist.
The demon girl Ruonan instantly felt the reaction of the crowd. Because as soon as she finished speaking, she felt that the temperature around her dropped several degrees instantly, as if she was in an ice cellar, and goose bumps appeared on her body.
She discovered the reason with a quick glance, and everyone present looked at her with cold brows and angry eyes.
It would be strange if it wasn’t cold.
However, not everyone.
When the seductive woman Ruonan glanced at Huaer, she couldn't help but smile slightly. Huaer was the only exception.
Indeed, all the maids and old women present looked down upon the enchantress Ruonan, with the only exception being Huaer.
Because Hua'er already knew all this, she reacted more violently than anyone else at first. But after spending several months together and going through so many things together, their relationship finally improved and warmed up.
"I also heard that Miss Ruonan had known my husband long before Jingnan?" Li Shu asked curiously.
"I guess so." The seductress Ruonan did not deny it.
Ah? This female bandit actually knew my uncle before? Then why did she kidnap him and kill him when she saw him again? She showed no mercy at all. This female bandit is really cold-blooded!
The negative emotions of everyone present towards the evil woman Ruonan soared again.
"I heard from the villagers who traveled with my husband to Huaining County for the county examination that a man and a girl robbed them on the way. I wonder if it is true..." Li Shu asked with interest, smiling.
What
It turns out that they had known each other before, and the female bandit had robbed my brother-in-law once? ! ! !
Everyone present was stunned.
"Yes and no..." The enchantress Ruonan couldn't help but frowned when she mentioned the past.
"Oh, why?" Li Shu asked with interest, but she added sympathetically, "If it makes Miss Ruonan embarrassed, then forget it."
"This is not a big deal. We did rob them at the beginning. To be exact, we robbed everyone except Zhu Ping'an. But in the end, we were robbed by Zhu Ping'an..." said the evil woman Ruonan, gritting her teeth.
"Nonsense, my son-in-law is just a scholar, and he is still alone, how could he rob you bandits?" The maids and old women present began to question, thinking that the evil woman Ruonan was confusing right and wrong.
"Although I don't want to admit it, this is the fact. Believe it or not." The seductress Ruonan was too lazy to explain.
"I also heard that my husband saved your life. Is that true?" Li Shu asked again.
"It is true. During the Anqing Prefecture Examination, I was injured and drowned, and he rescued me to shore..."
The enchantress Ruonan nodded, brushed it off with a simple remark, and gritted her teeth slightly. During this time, Zhu Ping'an took great advantage of her.
Hearing this, the maids and women present were even more indignant. My son-in-law saved your life, but you turned against me. Not only did you not know how to be grateful, you even kidnapped my son-in-law and tried to kill him for money! !
"Ruonan, it turns out that your uncle was robbed by you when he took the county exam. It turns out that your uncle really saved your life. Then what will you do in Jingnan..." The chubby little maid Huaer pouted.
After the kidnapping incident in Jingnan, Huaer knew that Ruonan and her uncle had met twice before Jingnan. Every time they met, Ruonan shouted and killed her uncle, but she didn't know the specific circumstances. Unexpectedly, the truth turned out to be like this. The first time they met, Ruonan robbed her uncle who came to the city to take the imperial examination; the second time they met, it turned out that her uncle really saved Ruonan. Back in Jingnan, when Ruonan kidnapped her and her uncle, her uncle said that he saved Ruonan's life. Ruonan retorted that he didn't know whether it was saving her life or taking advantage of someone's misfortune. Huaer thought there was a misunderstanding. Unexpectedly, her uncle really saved Ruonan and saved her life, but Ruonan still kidnapped her uncle... ...
"Hua'er, Jingnan is full of misunderstandings. Who asked him to raise the grain prices so high when there was a food shortage after the flood? I thought he was a corrupt official who made money from the disaster without caring about the lives of the people..."
The seductive woman Ruonan explained helplessly that she didn't care whether others misunderstood her or not, but she couldn't ignore Huaer.
"Well, it's all over. Ruonan and the others have reformed. Uncle Ruo and the others in the village are all working under my husband. If you think about it carefully, Ruonan is one of us too."
Li Shu said with a smile.
"We dare not associate with the female thief..."
"We treat her as one of our own, but does she treat us as one of her own? How can one of our own rob one of our own repeatedly..."
A group of maids and old women murmured in low voices.
"What are you mumbling about?" Li Shu glanced at them, and everyone stopped talking reluctantly.
"Zhui'er, go to the storehouse and get two rolls of gold-woven brocade, and a box of pearl hairpins, and give them to Miss Ruonan as a meeting gift."
Li Shu glanced at the enchantress Ruonan and gave instructions with a smile.
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Zhuier opened her mouth in disbelief and uttered a confused sound. This female thief robbed her son-in-law time and time again, but he didn't tie her up when he saw her in person. Why did he give her such a generous gift when he met her
"What? Go quickly." Li Shu scolded with a smile, "You are usually like Shancai Tongzi, why did you turn into a Pixiu today?"
"I'll go right away." Zhuier turned around reluctantly and glared at the witch Ruonan before leaving.
"Miss Zhuier, please stay." The demon woman Ruonan called Zhuier to stop her, then clasped her fists towards Li Shu and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Li. As the saying goes, no merit should be accepted. I have not done anything, so how can I accept Miss Li's gift?"
"You don't know how to appreciate a favor..." Zhuier and the others whispered, "Maybe you are used to snatching things, so you think it's too little..."
"Hehe... Miss Li, I'll be the child's mother soon, Miss Ruonan, just call me Madam." Li Shu giggled and covered her mouth, her tone slightly heavier on the word 'Madam', and then continued, "We are all family, a small gift for meeting each other, the gift is small but the sentiment is great, Miss Ruonan, don't be so formal."
"Young Madam..." The demon woman Ruonan paused for a moment, then smiled, "Thank you, Young Madam. Forget about the gift. I really don't want to receive anything without merit. But if Young Madam insists on giving me a gift, then I will make a shameless request."
"Please tell me, Miss Ruonan. As long as I can, I will not let you down." Li Shu said with a smile.
"I have been living with Hua'er for some time. Now that Hua'er has returned to your house, I am homeless. I hope I can stay in your house for a while. I hope the young lady will agree." The demon girl Ruonan clasped her fists and said.
"Hua'er is back, you can just live in the same yard as before, how come you are homeless?" A girl pouted.
"Huh, she wants to stay here. Is she up to some bad intention?" Someone else also thought so.
"Haha, what's the matter? I've already had someone clean up Miss Ruonan's room. Miss Ruonan is my husband's guest, so she is naturally my guest. How can I kick a guest out?"
Li Shu replied with a smile.
"Ah, it has been packed long ago?" The enchantress Ruonan couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that. She was very surprised.
I thought it was going to be a tough battle, so I put all my effort into it, but ended up shaking my waist...
"Of course. I'll have someone take Miss Ruonan to check it out later. If there's anything missing, just tell the housekeeper to buy it."
Li Shu's smile did not diminish at all.
