"Master Lin, please stop forcing Yunniang. It's not a big deal for a rich man like you to take a concubine or a concubine. Why don't you admit it and force Yunniang to clarify for you?"

The nosy villagers shouted to Lin An, and then someone echoed, "Yes, Yunniang is so pitiful. She met a heartless man."

"Dad, let me do it!" Lin Shuyue stepped forward and motioned Lin An to step aside.

After Lin An stepped aside, Lin Shuyue stared at Yunniang with her clear eyes.

Yunniang felt a little uneasy because of her direct gaze. She was about to speak but was interrupted by Lin Shuyue.

"Since you know nothing, let someone who knows tell it."

After saying that, Lin Shuyue glanced at the villagers who were watching the excitement, and then said loudly: "Now that things have come to this, I believe everyone knows the purpose of calling everyone here. That's right, I called everyone here today to resolve the rumors about my father and Yunniang in the village today."

Her words startled the villagers, and their gossipy eyes glanced back and forth between Lin An and Yun Niang.

Lin Shuyue saw everyone's reaction, but remained calm, and continued: "After our Lin family settled in Lanshan Village, we believe that we have not let any of you down. In order to take care of everyone, my father took the initiative to ask everyone to grow peppers."

After she finished speaking, her tone suddenly changed and she said sternly, "But what about now? Someone in the village maliciously fabricated facts and falsely accused my father of having an affair with Yunniang, trying to throw dirty water on my father and make our family restless. And many of you spread rumors everywhere without distinguishing right from wrong. What's the difference between you and ungrateful people?"

Her questioning made the villagers' faces stiffen. Several women blushed slightly, some lowered their heads guiltily, and some whispered to the people around them.

At this time, a sharp voice came, "You are too domineering as a little girl. What's wrong with us saying a few words behind your back? Besides, who knows whether this is true or not? Don't be too talkative as a little girl, or no one will want you in the future."

"What did you say? You evil woman, did you eat shit in your mouth? You are so old and you don't do some good deeds. Be careful that someone will dig up your grave in the future!"

Lin An and others were furious when they heard this, and Zhao Xiuyin was even more furious. She rushed up and pointed at an old woman standing in the second row and cursed her.

The villagers around the old woman stepped back when they saw what was happening, fearing that they would be implicated.

"you you!"

The old woman who was cursing was named Hu and was a widow. She was famous for her sharp tongue in Lanshan Village, but at this moment, Zhao Xiuyin's scolding made her face turn red and she couldn't breathe.

After a while, Mrs. Hu yelled hysterically: "I will fight you!"

After saying that, he rushed to Zhao Xiuyin and grabbed her head with a pair of dry hands, but Zhao Xiuyin is no longer the same as before. During the journey of fleeing famine, Lin Shuyue added spiritual spring water to their water from time to time. Along the way, not only the adults, but even Niu Niu's body was several times stronger than that of ordinary children.

Facing the skinny old woman Hu, Zhao Xiuyin was not afraid at all. She grabbed the hand she stretched out and held it tightly, and slapped her in the face with her other hand.

Zhao Xiuyin also knew her limits and didn't hit her hard, which just made her look a little red. Then she just grabbed Hu Pozi's hand to prevent her from hurting anyone.

Stunned by the slap, Mrs. Hu came to her senses and in a rage she tried to grab with her other hand. Zhao Xiuyin grabbed it directly and no matter how she struggled, she couldn't pull it out.

Zhao Xiuyin glanced at Mrs. Hu with disdain and said quietly, "You'd better behave yourself. Although I'm older than you, I killed a wolf when I was fleeing from famine a few days ago."

Mrs. Hu was both angry and scared. This old woman was too strong. She said she had killed a wolf. She couldn't be bluffing, right? But what if it was true... Forget it. I can't win against her. For the sake of my life, I'd better bow my head.

"Well, old sister, please let me go. It's my fault for being so bad-mouthed. I shouldn't have said such things. I will definitely not say them again in the future." Mrs. Hu said embarrassedly with a flattering smile on her face.

"Humph! If I hear you scolding Ah Yue again next time, you will be in trouble!"

Zhao Xiuyin shook off her hand with a cold face and returned to the Lin family in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

Lin An, Qing He and Qing Zhi gave her a thumbs up, Lin Gang and his wife looked proud, and the Lin Lei brothers ran up to her, helped her walk back, and kept flattering her.

The villagers were very surprised. Since settling down, Lin Gang's family had been busy with their own affairs and seldom came to the village, so many villagers almost forgot about them and Erlangzi.

After seeing them today, I didn't expect that this family should not be underestimated. Just an old woman stepped in and subdued the old woman Hu who had caused harm to many people in the village.

"You don't need to worry about whether I will have anyone in the future. Don't try to take advantage of your age in front of me!" Lin Shuyue glanced at Mrs. Hu who shrank back into the crowd. She was not a real little girl, and this vicious curse was meaningless to her.

Then, she swept her sharp gaze over the villagers and called out their names one by one.

"Zhao Xiumei, Luo Dahua, Li Qiuju, Zhao Xiaoyan, Dong Juan, Hu Pozi..."

Every time Lin Shuyue pointed at someone, her gaze would fall accurately on that person. The person who was pointed at would feel a jolt in his heart and would avoid Lin Shuyue's gaze.

The other villagers were a little confused and turned their heads to look at the people who were named, and then they heard Lin Shuyue say in a cold voice: "These days, the rumors about my father and Yunniang in the village are the most rampant among you.

You keep saying that someone saw my father and Yunniang talking in the pavilion alone, so tell me, who saw it with their own eyes?

If you can't tell me, then you are maliciously fabricating facts and framing my father. If I go to the authorities to sue, according to the laws of our Great Zhou, those who maliciously fabricate facts and frame others and destroy their reputations will not only be beaten with a stick, but also go to jail!"

When several people heard that she was going to sue the government, they turned pale with fright and almost collapsed to the ground. The rest of the villagers were also very surprised. As farmers who only knew how to make a living in the fields, they might rarely have the opportunity to deal with the government in their entire lives.

Wang Youzhi glared at those people hatefully. He had already warned the villagers that they could not afford to offend the Lin family, but they just didn't take it seriously.

Now, if he really reports to the authorities, the reputation of their Lanshan Village will be ruined in this area. You know, he heard with his own ears the magistrate calling Lin An "Uncle Lin" last time. Whether to arrest him or not is just a matter of a word from them, right?

"Miss Ayue, it was Luo Dahua who told me. She said that Master Lin and Yunniang... were all her fault. Please forgive me this time!" Dong Juan was the first to stand up and kneel in front of Lin Shuyue to beg for mercy. She cried with tears and snot, and was as miserable as she could be.

Luo Dahua, who was pointed out, quickly pointed at Zhao Xiumei and said in defense: "I also heard it from Zhao Xiumei. She made it sound very convincing. I was also deceived by her."
