As more and more people gathered around, Qin Niang cried even more vigorously: "Everyone, please give me some judgement. Does she want me to live or not? My family's village has suffered from famine since I was a child. I barely survived by eating tree roots and bark. If I knew I would be humiliated like this today, I would not have eaten."

She broke down and yelled.

The maid hurried forward to comfort her: "My lady, you have a hard life."

She wanted to help the man up, but Qin Niang sat slumped on the ground, motionless, slapping her thighs fiercely: "I had a miserable life but I didn't give in to depravity. But the eighth lady of the Lin family wanted to kill me. Now that I've been beaten like this, how can I still live in the world with dignity? It would be better to just hang myself with a hemp rope."

As she said this, Qin Niang deliberately stood up and was about to bang her head against the pillar to death. She knew that the maid would hold her back, so she acted very realistically.

The maid quickly pulled him away: "Madam, you must not do this."

Qin Niang shed more tears: "She is so unreasonable, relying on her high marriage to the Duke of Zhenguo to humiliate me like this, what am I still living for in this world, let me go, let me die."

The onlookers couldn't help but talk about it.

"The one who married into the Zhenguo Mansion was the eighth daughter of the Lin family. It's too much for her to bully others like this."

"If such a tough person marries into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, it will be unfortunate for the family. Wouldn't she make a mess of it?"

"My young master is so pitiful."

After a round of discussion, someone gave sincere advice.

"In that case, let's report to the police and discuss the matter there."

Qin Niang was stunned and finally did not go, instead she put the blame on Lin Ruoxuan.

"She is the future wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. How dare someone like me provoke her?"

Soon, Lin Ruoxuan's reputation for being tough spread, and many people in Shangjing knew about it. Some even couldn't help but talk about it in their spare time.

When Gu Nanyuan and the prince went out to have dinner, he heard everyone's discussions, but there was no fluctuation on his handsome face. He walked past everyone with an expressionless face and entered the private room.

The prince was laughing the whole time, but he didn't make any sound. Instead, he used his fan to cover his eyes.

Go into the private room.

The prince laughed loudly, his mouth wide open: "Young Master, I think you are a very special young lady."

When mentioning Lin Ruoxuan, Gu Nanyuan's face was full of smiles. He personally poured tea for the two of them and then said slowly, "Prince, I am dissatisfied with what you said. In fact, I like her personality. If others don't provoke her, she will not fight back casually, but if others provoke her, she will not let herself suffer any loss."

The prince was a little unconvinced and asked meaningfully: "Really?"

Gu Nanyuan nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, she is usually very gentle in front of me. It must be because of her. When a rabbit is angry, it will bite. She is also very kind."

In his heart, Lin Ruoxuan had done nothing wrong, it was all the fault of outsiders.

The prince was a little surprised to see Gu Nanyuan so obsessed with Lin Ruoxuan.

"It seems that the eighth girl of the Lin family is the young master's true love."

Gu Nanyuan said solemnly, "Yes, I will marry her in this life."

The prince closed his fan with a swish and clapped his hands, "Good, you dare to love and hate, I like you. If I meet a girl I like in the future, I will definitely make her like you."

He took the initiative to hand over the tea: "Your Highness will definitely do it, don't worry."

The two had dinner, and Gu Nanyuan accompanied the prince to inspect some of the people's conditions. After he escorted the prince back to the palace, he returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

……

Lin Ruoting was out playing with her sisters when she heard about Lin Ruoxuan. A sinister smile appeared on her lips. She was worried that she couldn't find any evidence to hold against Lin Ruoxuan, but then that stupid girl presented it to her.

It seems that climbing high can lead to a heavy fall.

She didn't bother to continue chatting with them. She found an excuse of feeling unwell and hurried home. Then she couldn't wait to tell Liu Xiaoniang and Lin Ruoxi about this matter.

"My dear, Third Sister, the news has spread like wildfire outside. I still have my dignity to protect. She is really going too far. Where does this put the reputation of us sisters?"

When she spoke, her tone was extremely angry, as if she could cry at any time, looking very pitiful.

Liu Xiaoniang wiped her cheek with a handkerchief and comforted her distressedly: "This stupid little bitch, for that damned girl Lin Ruoxue, she actually disregarded the reputation of the Lin family."

Lin Ruoxi also started crying.

"Young lady, my elder sister's divorce will definitely affect our marriage. Now my eighth sister has made a fuss again. If there are more troubles in the future, what are we going to do?"

Liu Xiaoniang also knew that this was definitely not a good idea to continue in the long run, and she had to think of a permanent solution.

"Xijie'er, Tingjie'er, don't worry. Your mother will definitely fight for you. Since Lin Ruoxuan has the support of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and we can't touch her, we will start with that bitch Lin Ruoxue."

Ever since Lin Ruoxue returned to the Lin family, everyone has been in unrest. No one knows what the old lady is doing, and there has been no movement for a long time.

Lin Ruoting nodded in agreement: "Yes, mother, you are right, why don't you go find father and let him decide?"

Currently, the only one who can be the head of this family is Lin Shiyuan.

Liu Xiaoniang nodded: "Okay, I will go find your father now and ask him to send Ruoxue to a nunnery."

She changed into a plain dress and brought his favorite cakes to Zhongting Hall. She heard his voice before she saw him: "Yuanlang, I'm here."

Seeing that her eyes were red, Lin Shiyuan put down the book in his hand.

"What's going on? Why are your eyes red? Don't you always dislike these plain clothes? Why are you suddenly wearing them today?"

Liu Xiaoniang sighed deeply and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief as she spoke.

"It's amazing that Yuanlang still remembers all this. I've made some of your favorite pastries myself, and I thought I'd bring them to you to relieve your fatigue. Eat them."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xiaoniang sobbed loudly, took out the pastries and placed them in front of the man.

Lin Shiyuan felt more and more that something was wrong, and looked at her distressedly: "Tell me, what happened?"

"I dare not say."

Lin Shiyuan frowned fiercely: "Speak."

Liu Xiaoniang knelt directly on the ground and exaggerated the stories about how Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoxue had ruined the family's reputation outside. Then she cried with tears all over her face, and I felt so pitiful for her.

"The impact of Sister Xue's incident is getting bigger and bigger. If it continues like this, the marriages of the other children will be in jeopardy. And just because the Duke Zhenguo Mansion doesn't say anything now doesn't mean they won't find a chance to cancel the engagement in the future. Now Sister Xuan has gained a reputation as a fierce woman. If she makes another mistake in the future, I'm afraid the Duke Zhenguo Mansion will definitely cancel the engagement."
