Gu Wenheng also received the news at the same time. He had not expected the Wu family to be the first to jump out.
Jin Qianqian said, "Since Wu Kun dared to open a restaurant to provoke us before, it's no wonder his older brother has the nerve to target us.
"These aristocratic families have been entrenched here for years. The government has always deferred to them, which made them forget their place."
As for the Wu family, Jin Qianqian only had a faint impression of a few of the leading madams in their inner courtyard. Being a large aristocratic family, they had likely divided their household countless times, leaving several leading madams across both the main and branch bloodlines.
Gu Wenheng had long been displeased with these aristocratic families. In such an impoverished province, they monopolized all means of livelihood, making it incredibly difficult for the commoners at the bottom to survive.
