The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

Mrs. Lin's eyes were red and she looked like a madman, causing everyone present to gasp.

Mrs. Lin couldn't care less at this moment and could only go for it.

Originally, Zhao Huaqin had found Mrs. Lin before, and the two agreed that as long as Zhao Huayin's reputation was ruined, no one would dare to marry her again.

When Zhao Huayin had no place to stand in the capital, the Lin family would come to propose marriage, and their good-for-nothing son would be able to get a Minister of Rites as his father-in-law.

Besides, Zhao Huayin is pretty, and I heard that she is also very good at embroidery. It would not be a loss if my family could get such a daughter-in-law.

Who knew Zhao Huayin would be so difficult to deal with? The Zhao couple even adopted Yan Zhao as their adopted son very early on.

It felt like my plan had already been known to others.

Today's banquet seemed to be specially held to clarify the rumors that had been circulating for Zhao Huayin for so long.

The Zhao family also officially broke off relations with the Lin family, and most of the other noble families in the capital would no longer have any dealings with the Lin family. Mrs. Lin was desperate and could only do everything she could to drag Zhao Huayin into the water.

This was originally a backup plan. If the reputation issue was not enough to implicate Zhao Huayin, they would have to find a way to pin the sorcery issue on Zhao Huayin.

Zhao Huaqin once solemnly assured that matters related to the sorcery had already been arranged.

In this case, Mrs. Lin decided to go all out.

Upon hearing this, the wife of Duke Yu's face, which had been calm just now, was now full of anger, and she shouted sternly,

"Shut her mouth and drag her away!"

Upon receiving the order, the four strong maids in Duke Yu's mansion stepped forward and subdued Madam Lin.

Mrs. Lin still wanted to struggle desperately, but her two fists were no match for four hands, and she was pinned to the ground in a short moment.

Even when he was pinned down, he still refused to behave himself and kept shouting,

"You have all been deceived! Instead of searching her house, you came to attack me. Are you going to allow this kind of evil to prevail?"

Everyone present looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

After all these years, who would dare to easily mention words like "witchcraft" or "black magic"?

Shen Bi was already shocked and angry. How vicious was Mrs. Lin to pin such a thing on Zhao Huayin.

Even if there is no evidence and it is just personal conjecture, it is enough to ruin Zhao Huayin's reputation in the capital.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, everyone will stay away from such things. In this case, I am afraid that all good men will stay away from Zhao Huayin.

Shen Bi felt dizzy due to her anger, but fortunately Yan Zhao was quick to help her sit down, and the maid handed a cup of tea to Shen Bi's lips.

The nanny beside her patted Shen Bi's back gently to help her calm down.

Shen Bi finally recovered, pushed away the maid's hand holding the teacup and was about to stand up and walk forward.

Yan Zhao shook his head at Shen Bi, motioned Shen Bi to sit down, and said softly: "Mom, you'd better believe Hua Yin."

Shen Bi then looked up. Zhao Huayin was still standing calmly beside Mrs. Lin, not showing any sign of panic, so Shen Bi calmed down a little.

Zhao Huayin was not surprised when Mrs. Lin shouted this, and secretly observed the reactions of the people around her.

Some are frightened, some are curious, and some hate it.

Especially the wife of Duke Yu, her hatred for this matter was clearly written on her face.

After a while, seeing that no one was talking, one of the ladies who usually gossiped with Mrs. Lin spoke tentatively,

"I think what she said is sincere and she doesn't seem to be lying. Why don't we..."

"Not as good as what?"

The wife of Duke Yu asked in a cold voice.

"Why don't we go and take a look? If there's nothing, then we can prove our innocence."

The lady mustered up the courage to ask.

"Go and see?"

The wife of Duke Yu was so angry that she laughed.

"How dare you search the home of a second-rank official of the imperial court? Could it be that your authority is greater than that of the city defense battalion and the Dali Temple?"

"Besides, this is just her crazy talk. What do you think you can find? She is crazy. Are you crazy too?"

"I guess they're looking for this."

Zhao Huayin spoke calmly, but her words were like thunder out of the blue.

Everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Huayin, only to see that what Zhao Huayin was holding in her hand was exactly what Zhao Huaqin had placed in Zhao Huayin's room that day.

After seeing clearly what was in Zhao Huayin's hand, even the usually calm Zhao Huaqin couldn't help but change her expression.

This item was originally meant to be kept in Zhao Huayin's room where it could be of great use. How did it get found out?

Mrs. Lin was extremely excited. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she knocked the nanny who was holding her to the ground, pulled out the cloth stuffed in her mouth, and shouted,

"This is it! This is it! Look, this is the evidence. She can cast a spell. Look!"

The four maids had already climbed up from the ground. Upon hearing this, they ignored the pain in their bodies and hurried over to hold Madam Lin down again and cover her mouth.

Madam Yu looked at the doll in Zhao Huayin's hand carefully before asking,

"Where did this thing in your hand come from?"

"To be honest, ma'am, someone put this thing in my room on purpose. I know why, but the person who designed it was not very skilled and was deceived. Although this voodoo doll looks like a real thing, it is a fake and has no effect at all. It can only be used to scare people."

"Oh? It's a fake. Can you bring it over to me and let me see it?"

"Of course it's okay."

Qingshuang took the doll and handed it to the wife of Duke Yu. After taking the doll in her hands and looking at it, her brows relaxed.

"It's really a scam."

"How does Madam know this is fake?"

Someone in the crowd bravely asked.

"Do you remember where the black magic came from?"

"It should be Jiaozhi."

Someone answered thoughtfully.

"Yes, it is indeed Jiaozhi. This Jiaozhi country is rich in chicken wing wood, and the supporting objects of black magic must also be made of chicken wing wood. But the doll in front of us is just made of ordinary boxwood, which can't be used as an object for black magic."

The wife of Duke Yu handed the doll to the maid beside her and showed it to everyone.

The ladies gradually felt relieved when they saw the doll. The doll was indeed made of boxwood. It looked cute and innocent, and was clearly an ordinary doll.

"It's just a cute object. How can it be related to black magic? It's simply nonsense!"

Madam Xu glanced at Madam Lin, who was lying on the ground, with disgust.

"Only those who don't have brains would believe such nonsense. How ridiculous!"

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Zhao Huayin was no longer wary, and there was even some sympathy.

"We are just hosting an ordinary family dinner today, but we didn't expect such a scene to happen. Please ask Madam Lin to leave, and you don't need to come to our house again in the future."

Mrs. Lin was still struggling to say something, but she was held tightly by several old women and could not escape. She could only whimper unwillingly.

From the moment Zhao Huayin took out the doll, Zhao Huaqin knew that she had lost another round. Seeing Mrs. Lin in such a miserable state, Zhao Huaqin's face turned even paler.

He tried his best to maintain a decent appearance, but the handkerchief in his hand was almost torn into pieces.

I didn't expect that the man who claimed to be a sorcerer was actually a liar. I will definitely settle the score with him later!
