Lin Gensheng and his wife were the last arrivals from the Lu family.

Before they came, they heard the people sent by the Lu family tell them why they were asked to go to the Lu family, so as soon as they entered the Qingyuan hall, they saw Geng Shi and his son standing in the hall, and their eyes burst into anger.If it weren't for so many people here, the two of them would have rushed to fight Geng Shi and his son.

Especially Mrs. Xie hated them to death, because she also thought that if Geng Shi went to Lu's house to make trouble like this, Jing Lan's boudoir reputation would be damaged, and it would be difficult for her to get married in the future.

After Lin Gensheng and his wife visited the Yuan family, they talked about how they had verbally agreed to the Geng family, but the two families had not made up their minds, and before Jing Lan returned to the Lu family, they found the Geng family and made it clear that they would withdraw, but the Geng family did not agree. The objection was said again.

They emphasized that the verbal agreement with the Geng family did not count at all.

After hearing what Lin Gensheng and his wife had said, Yuan asked Geng Shi and his son if they had any objections to this.

Geng Shi retorted that he didn't say anything against it at the time because he thought of being neighbors with the Lin family for so many years and didn't want to tear his face.But then his son Ahu became seriously ill, so he wanted to ask Jing Lan for justice.That is to say, he now opposes the Lin family's withdrawal.

After listening to Geng Shi's words, Jing Lan, who was sitting on the chair on Yuan's right, felt that his reason was far-fetched. It was clear that he had agreed to divorce before, but now he backed out.

After all, it was all verbal, without any evidence at all.

Without any evidence, Geng Shi and his son dared to come to the Lu family to seek justice from him, Jing Lan really looked at them with admiration.Now that I refute the reasons of my adoptive parents, anyone who listens to them will feel that they have no confidence, thinking that they are fooling around, and they are purely here to disgust Jinglan.

In other words, their real purpose is to damage Jing Lan's reputation and make it difficult for her to marry in the future.

Jing Lan is not good at marrying, and she will not marry Geng Hu. The Lu family will take revenge on their father and son for this.

Geng Shi and his son wanted to do this kind of thing that harms others and benefits themselves. Jing Lan didn't believe that it was really their idea. She was sure that they must have benefited from others and were instructed by others to target themselves.

Jing Lan could think of several people who wanted to punish her, stepmother Qi, grandmother Yuan, and Xiao Yulang.

First of all, she ruled out Xiao Yulang, because if Xiao Yulang really wanted to target her, he would use Shen Wan's personal relationship with her to make a fuss, and she wouldn't just bribe Geng Shi and his son to use the matter of her verbal engagement and resignation with Geng Hu to make herself famous. Damaged, unable to marry.

If they can't get married, they should be happy because Qi and Yuan are both women. They think that a woman can't get married and no one wants it, which is the biggest blow to a woman.

As for whether it was the Qi family or the Yuan family, Jing Lan also had a preliminary judgment. She felt that this matter should be related to the Qi family.The reason why it was the Qi family was because Geng Shi and his son were looking for the Yuan family.Like Qi's kind of insidious and cunning person, Jing Lan thinks that her method is to stand on the sidelines, not to get involved, and to clean herself up.

But the more this happened, the more people suspected that she was the mastermind behind the scenes.

With such a judgment, Jing Lan couldn't help sneering in her heart, and decided to formally fight with the Qi family.

At the end of the year, the people entrusted by Shen Wan will find the direct disciples of Zhang Tianshi, and then find out how Zhang Tianshi colluded with Mrs. Xin, and confirm that Mrs. Xin was entrusted by someone to bribe Zhang Tianshi to frame Jinglan.As for who Mrs. Xin was entrusted with, maybe she can know a thing or two.

Jing Lan was worried before that if someone entrusted by Shen Wan went to the north to find Zhang Tianshi's direct disciple, the direct disciple only knew that Zhang Tianshi colluded with Mrs. Xin, but she did not know who entrusted Mrs. Xin.In that way, it is still impossible to catch Qi, the poisonous snake hiding in the dark.

But now that Geng Shi and his son jumped out, Jing Lan felt that she had to seize this opportunity to find out that Qi was the mastermind behind the scenes, instigating Geng Shi and his son to ruin her reputation.

In that way, even if the person Shen Wan entrusts to go to the north to find Zhang Tianshi's direct disciples can't find out who was instigated by Mrs. Xin to frame her back then, she can still use this matter to expose that Qi's stepmother is a snake-hearted stepmother. His father divorced her and kicked her out.

If the Qi family was divorced and kicked out of the Lu family, it would be Jing Lan's relief for herself and for her mother who died in vain.

Thinking of this, Jing Lan looked at Geng Shi and his son and Lin Gensheng and his wife standing in the hall with a calm expression.

She also wants to see how her grandmother Yuan Shi will perform next.

As Mother Lin said before, Yuan's handling of Geng Shi and his son's visit to the Lu family to discuss an explanation was not at all the way a woman who had been married to the second wife of the Lu family for decades should have.

If she really protected Jing Lan, she would not have arranged for someone to bring Lin Gensheng and his wife to the Lu family. She deliberately wanted to make this matter worse, damage Jing Lan's reputation, and make it difficult for her to marry in the future.

This is really not something that a real grandmother can do.

But whether it's the Yuan family or the Qi family, they haven't figured it out, but Jing Lan hopes they will do so.Regardless of whether it was the Qi family who bought Geng Shi and his son to tarnish Jing Lan's reputation, or the Yuan family intentionally made this matter worse, their ultimate goal was nothing more than to make it difficult for Jing Lan to marry.

But it's not easy to get married, and Jing Lan sincerely hopes that no one will come to ask for her.

In this way, there will be no pressure from marriage while staying in the Lu family, which can be regarded as lifting Jing Lan's sense of crisis, and she is of course happy to see it succeed.

That's why, after Mother Lin and Qingyao Qingluo said that, she neither went to find her ancestors nor let them go.

After enjoying a good lunch and taking a peaceful nap, he brought Qing Yao and Qing Luo to Qing Yuan Hall where Yuan Shi lived, waiting for his adoptive parents to come.

After Geng Shi's father and son and Lin Gensheng and his wife finished their speeches, Jing Lan watched Yuan's next move with cold eyes.

I saw Yuan Shi called the maidservant next to her to come over and told her to go to Fuhai Hall to report the matter to the ancestor.

Seeing this, Jing Lan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said in her heart: She has achieved her goal of making this matter big, so she will push this matter to the old ancestors, and let the old ancestors come forward to solve the matter, so she can get out Yes, it is really easy to calculate.

After Mrs. Feng heard about this, she immediately came to Qingyuan Hall surrounded by a group of maids and women.

Seeing their ancestor coming, Yuan Shi and Jing Lan hurriedly stood up and saluted her.

Feng asked them to get up with a livid face, and then went straight to the red sandalwood chair with armrests in the middle of Qingyuan Hall and sat down.

Yuan Shi and Jing Lan stood aside.

Looking at a pair of dark-faced farmers, father and son, and two middle-aged men and women standing in the hall, Feng said coldly: "Who are Geng Shi and Geng Hu, stand up and tell me about your relationship with my family, Jing Lan. What's the connection?"

Someone next to him then told Geng Shi and his son that the person sitting in the hall was the ancestor of the Lu family, and they had to tell the truth when they were asked.

Geng Shi and his son had already seen a rich and majestic old woman with white hair come in. Looking at the crowd of people around her, they knew that the person who came was an important figure of the Lu family.

Seeing her demeanor, and seeing her cautious look just now, Mrs. Yuan couldn't help but tremble a little.

Immediately afterwards, Geng Shi stammered about the purpose of bringing his son to the Lu family. Facing Feng, he felt more guilty than ever.

After he finished speaking, Mrs. Feng asked Lin Gensheng and his wife to speak.

After the two families finished talking, Feng yelled at Geng Shi and his son angrily: "Since it's a verbal engagement, it can't be counted. You think our Lu family is where you can come whenever you want, and you can make trouble if you want? Since you have no real evidence, say that my family Jinglan is engaged to your Geng family's Ahu and divorced, spreading rumors and causing troubles, and damaging my family's Jinglan's reputation, I will not let you off! Someone, tie up Geng Shi and his son, and send them off! Go to the Jinling government office and sue them for spreading rumors to ruin the reputation of my Miss Lu family, and let the magistrate Mao adults severely punish them!"

Geng Shi and his son didn't expect this old woman to be so powerful, she was about to take them down and send them to the Jinling government office for punishment as soon as she opened her mouth, and they panicked immediately.

After the father and son glanced at each other, their legs softened, and they knelt down towards Feng Shi, begging her to let them go. They didn't intend to ruin Jing Lan's reputation, but they were confused for a while, and Geng Hu couldn't let go. Jing Lan, I just came to the Lu family to look for Jing Lan.

At this time, Yuan Shi also spoke, and she whispered to Feng Shi: "Old ancestor, if we send them to the Jinling government office, the trouble will be even bigger. Even if we take the truth and spread it, there will be a lot of gossip. In particular, some people will say that our Lu family is bullying others, Geng Hu and Jing Lan are indeed engaged, but our family hates the poor and loves the rich, so we forcibly resigned..."

Jing Lan stood beside Yuan's ears, and heard Yuan's words clearly. Before the ancestor could speak, she said loudly: "Ancestor, the great-granddaughter thinks that Geng Shi and his son should be sent to the Jinling government office. I am not afraid of people." Talking gossip, I'm just afraid that if the matter is not clear, it will be over."

Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Geng Shi and his son kneeling in the hall and said, "I don't believe what Geng's father and son said. They came to me to ask for an explanation when they were confused. I also don't believe that Ah Hu really can't let me go. This matter , Someone must be instigating behind the scenes, Geng Shi and his son were bribed to come to the Lu family to ruin my reputation."

Having said that, Feng and others saw Geng Shi and his son lower their heads in a panic, especially Geng Shi's hands on the floor tiles were trembling slightly.

Seeing this situation, everyone in Yannian Hall, including the Feng family, believed what Jing Lan said, that Geng Shi and his son were instigated to come to Lu's house to deliberately say something about their engagement and withdrawal, which would damage Jing Lan's reputation and make Jing Lan feel bad get married.

Feng's complexion became even darker. After she stared at Yuan, she lowered her head, and then fell silent for a while.

She thought that this matter was based on what Jing Lan said, and Geng Shi and his son were sent to the Jinling government office, so that the magistrate Mao could thoroughly investigate who was behind the scenes instigating Geng Shi and his son to ruin Jing Lan's reputation.It's better to let this matter be dealt with in the Lu family, so as not to make this matter worse, and try to preserve Pan Lan's reputation as a boudoir.

After thinking for a while, she asked coldly: "Geng Shi, Geng Hu, tell me, who made you come to Lu's house to make trouble?"

Geng Shi and his son were so frightened that they sweated profusely, Geng Hu didn't speak, and Geng Shitou was buried very low. He thought of the 100 taels of snowflake silver at home, and the 200 taels of silver that he would give after the promise was made.If he admits it, not only will the 300 taels of silver be lost, but he will also offend the Lin family and the Lu family, which is a big loss.If he gritted his teeth and refused to admit that he was instigated by others, at most he would be sent to the official to be punished, but the money was still there.For money, go all out.

With a heartless heart, he said: "...what the villain said just now is true...no one ordered us to come to Lu's house to make trouble..."
