The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is named Lin Fu, and she is a fellow villager of Ye Guyan.

When the Duke of Zhenguo was imprisoned, all officials in the court, including Chen Tanyan, avoided him.

When Lin Fu was in despair, it was Ye Guyan who sold all her dowry and jewelry, helped her to establish connections, collect evidence, and eventually win the favor of Zhenguo Gong, which gave her her later status and position.

In order to repay Ye Guyan, Lin Fu even arranged a marriage between his little daughter and Chen Qiyu.

Now, her arrival can give Ye Guyan's depressed heart some respite.

[Mother, that Lin Fu is the murderer who dismembered your body. She is a bad woman.]

Chen Shuyin, who was originally dozing off, suddenly woke up and hurried to persuade him.

But Ye Guyan obviously didn't believe Chen Shuyin's words, and warned her in a soft voice: "Don't talk nonsense."

Ye Guyan believed that a person who risked her life to save her husband could never be someone who repays kindness with enmity.

Originally, Chen Tanyan disdained to associate with a simple-minded and strong-limbed person like the Duke of Zhenguo.

However, the former is now one of the powerful officials, so Chen Tanyan naturally has to curry favor with him.

He asked everyone to stand up and greet him: "Mrs. Lin, I am so lucky that you can come to my daughter's full moon banquet."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

Liu Wenjin also took a step forward and said politely with a smile: "Sister, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still as bright and charming as ever."

However, Lin Fu did not respond to Liu Wenjin's words. Instead, he walked straight to Ye Guyan, held her hand and said, "Sister Ye, you look much more haggard."

"No problem."

"I brought some small gifts, please accept them, sister." Lin Fu clapped his hands.

Her attendant quickly opened an exquisitely shaped brocade box.

There was a crystal clear snow lotus in the box.

"Qian Mu Xue Lian!" The old concubine was the first to exclaim, and the hand holding the scepter was shaking slightly.

This snow lotus grows on Qianmu Mountain, and there are only three of them in a hundred years.

Taking it as medicine can not only greatly enhance vitality, but also has the effect of detoxifying all kinds of poisons and bringing people back to life.

Everyone else present was amazed.

The gifts originally given to Chen Yunling suddenly became dull and dim.

This also made Liu Mei, who was standing by, feel very uncomfortable.

"This gift is too valuable."

Ye Guyan was about to refuse, but Lin Fu said firmly: "Sister, this is what you deserve."

"Since Mrs. Lin means so well, you shouldn't refuse. Come, Mrs. Lin, please take a seat." Chen Tanyan interrupted their conversation and took the initiative to lead Lin Fu to sit down.

During the meal, Lin Fu spoke again: "Sister, to be honest, in addition to coming to congratulate you, I have something else to discuss with you."

At this moment, Ye Guyan, who hadn't noticed that there was something wrong with Lin Fu's tone, smiled and replied, "You can say whatever you want."

Lin Fu took out a red notebook from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"Engagement documents?" Everyone gasped.

Especially when Chen Tanyan saw the names of Chen Qiyu and Xue Jing written in gold letters on the outside of the document, his eyes almost popped out.

He first looked at Ye Guyan with a reproachful look, and then his face showed an excitement that was hard to conceal.

If he could become a relative of the Duke of Zhenguo at this time, his return to the capital would be just around the corner.

"Go and call Qi Yu quickly." Chen Tanyan urged Ye Guyan subconsciously.

Ye Guyan was about to stand up, but was stopped by Lin Fu: "Sister, it is better for Qi Yu not to show up in this situation."

An ominous premonition was hanging over Ye Guyan's head.

Lin Fu licked his lips and slowly said, "The purpose of my coming here this time is to discuss with you, sister, whether it is possible to change Qi Yu and Jing Er's engagement to Yun Ling."

This sentence made Ye Guyan so angry that he slammed the table on the spot: "Ridiculous, do you know what you are talking about?"

Lin Fu also said apologetically: "I know, but Jing'er has fully recovered now, and has become the disciple of the Three Herb Kings. Excuse me, but Qi Yu is worlds away from her. Sister, you have watched Jing'er grow up, and you don't want her future to be ruined, do you?"

Ye Guyan was trembling all over, and almost gritted her teeth as she said, "How can marrying my son ruin your future?"

Liu Mei, who had been silent all this time, also spoke up at this time, "Even common people know what the four words 'equally matched' mean, why are you playing dumb? We all know what kind of material Qi Yu can become. If he marries Xue Jing, won't it just delay someone else's future? Don't you think so, mother-in-law?"

But Lin Fu did not respond to her words, but continued to persuade Ye Guyan: "Sister, this matter is also difficult for me, but my husband also thinks that if we want to marry, Chen Yunling is the best candidate, and Qi Yu is..."

"I don't agree." Ye Guyan's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Lin Fu.

"I won't mention the favor I helped you get redressed for now, but have you forgotten how Jing'er recovered?"

"I……"

Without waiting for Lin Fu to speak, Ye Guyan directly interrogated again: "You used my son's heart blood as a medicine, which caused my son to be weak and sick, and ended up with such a poor result. Now that the clouds have cleared and the moon is bright, can you be so treacherous?"

Being repeatedly accused, the smile on Lin Fu's face gradually disappeared, and his tone became stiff: "That's why I sent Qian Mu Snow Lotus today. Besides, I didn't cancel the engagement. I just discussed with you to change the candidate. Isn't Chen Yunling also a descendant of your Chen family?"

"Sister, Mrs. Lin is right. We are all family, so why should we differentiate between ourselves? When the time comes, Yun Ling and Jing'er will be a perfect match and bring honor to the capital, and you will also benefit from it, right?" Liu Mei jumped out again and acted as a peacemaker.

"You are turning my son into a complete laughing stock." Ye Guyan felt bitter.

"You've gone too far. I agree with Mrs. Lin's suggestion. Can you be more tolerant?" Chen Tanyan directly criticized Ye Guyan.

The tone of his words clearly blamed him for not considering the overall situation.

Ye Guyan looked at Chen Tanyan with disappointment, and said with a trembling voice: "Chen Tanyan, Qi Yu has never received any love from you since he was a child, but now you have given away his lifelong happiness, and you still say that I am narrow-minded?"

"Snapped!"

At this time, the old concubine slammed the tea bowl down on the table and angrily said, "Do you understand the Three Obediences and Four Virtues? Since Tan Yan has already made the decision, there is no room for you to argue."

Being reprimanded by the old concubine, Liu Mei and Liu Wenjin both showed mocking expressions on their faces.

Ye Guyan's steps were unsteady, and he staggered back, looking at the people at the table.

At this moment, she felt that these people were so strange, and she had been living like an outsider all these years.

Chen Shuyin could feel the trembling of Ye Guyan's heart. She reached out her hand and touched Ye Guyan, comforting her: "Mother, it is right for my second brother not to marry the gold-digger of the Xue family. The humiliation of breaking off the engagement now will be repaid a hundredfold in the future. If they really get married, then my second brother's career will be used by Xue Jing to support a man, and in the end he will be made into a human pig to watch her and her adulterer have sex, and finally his head will be chopped off and filled into the pit in the yard. 】

When Ye Guyan heard this, his face turned extremely pale.
