"Who are you and why are you standing at my door?" asked Lin, who was sitting inside.

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do in this situation.

Little Yining glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground, his eyes flashing with pity, and he stepped forward and said loudly, "Madam, I am here to find Aunt Luo Lezhi. I got lost while playing around earlier this month, and it was Aunt Luo who brought me home. My mother asked me to come here today to thank Aunt Luo."

"Lin Yining?" The kneeling woman suddenly looked up at the little kid next to her, and for a moment she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Madam, we are here to look for Aunt Luo. We heard that Aunt Luo was ill at home and could not teach us. We were very worried and came to see Aunt Luo." Liu Zhenying also hurriedly pulled Yu Ke into the house and asked the maid to put the supplements she brought into the house, making the already cramped space even more crowded.

Zhao Ya behind Xiao Yining also moved, and stepped forward to place a long box next to Lin. "My wife has always been grateful to Miss Luo, but unfortunately my lady is busy with schoolwork and only had time to visit today. I hope my wife will forgive me."

"You are..." When Lin saw these expensive gifts, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

"Madam, you are really forgetful. A few days ago, Miss Luo came back late. My wife was worried and asked me to send Miss Luo back." Zhao Ya replied without changing her expression.

"Could it be the day when Luo will meet her lover?"

"Indeed, I saw this man that night. He was from the Xue family."

Xiao Yining had been looking at Luo Lezhi. Hearing this, she couldn't help but look outside. The entrance of the Xue family had been crowded with people, and was separated by the servants of the Liu family. Her uncle was leaning against the door, looking at everything in the house indifferently.

Liu Zhenying pulled Xiao Yining aside and asked carefully, "Why did Madam make Aunt Luo kneel on the ground? Did she do something wrong?"

Lin's face flashed with embarrassment. She glanced at Zhao Ya and said, "Young lady, please don't ask. Telling you may offend your ears. My daughter-in-law has committed a serious mistake and has a flawed moral character. I'm afraid she won't be able to teach in your mansion anymore."

"Daughter-in-law?" Liu Zhenying widened her eyes and looked at Luo Lezhi in surprise, then looked at Xiao Yining and Yu Ke. Seeing that there was no expression on their faces, she couldn't help but feel a small spark of anger rising in her heart.

"Yes, Miss, I know my daughter-in-law lied to you before. In fact, she is already married." Lin replied with a smile.

"Ma'am, what you said is wrong. We all know that Aunt Luo married a tablet. This matter cannot be kept secret. We can find out by asking around on the street." Xiao Yining replied, looking at the tablet next to Lin.

Yu Ke also lied nervously, "Yes, yes! We all know that Aunt Luo and her husband are deeply in love. Even if her fiancé dies, she will marry into the Xue family."

"I don't know why Madam said that Aunt Luo had moral flaws. When she was in my house, she was always self-disciplined and polite, and she was virtuous and talented. Everyone in our house liked Aunt Luo." Liu Zhenying asked without changing her expression.

Lin's expression suddenly turned ugly. "What she did is not something you delicate ladies can listen to."

At this time, a tear fell from Luo Lezhi's dry eyes, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "You guys can go back. I have no regrets in my life that you can come to see Aunt Luo today."

"Can…"

"Sister Qing, now that the gift has been delivered, it's time to return it." Wang Cheng glanced at the kneeling woman and spoke.

Xiao Yining lowered her head sadly. Aunt Luo usually looked like a proud and bright woman, but behind the scenes she was a poor woman who let her mother-in-law waste her time. The contrast was so great that it was a little hard to accept.

She looked up at Lin and saw that he kept looking at the box, so she stepped forward, took the box away and handed it back to Zhao Ya.

"Since Madam said that Aunt Luo has bad conduct, then I won't give her anything. After all, my father once taught me not to help the wicked." Xiao Yining said seriously.

Lin's expression froze instantly.

"Then we won't send it off." Liu Zhenying also waved her hand and asked the maid to take the things back.

Lin's face turned into a dyed color.

At this moment there was a commotion among the crowd, and a little man struggled to squeeze in.

"Don't worry about it, cousin. I just went to ask around. On the day your aunt Luo was with you, she took her sister-in-law to meet her lover and came back with bruises all over her body. Her mother-in-law was so angry that she made her kneel in front of her husband's tablet and repent every day." Wang Gungun ran to Xiao Yining's side and looked at the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law sarcastically. "If a fool doesn't save himself, others shouldn't save him either."

"What do you mean by that? My cousin is only eleven years old this year. When did he become a lover?" Little Yining pushed Wang Gungun away and said angrily. She looked up at Lin. "Although Aunt Luo got bruises all over her body in order to bring me home, my nanny must have come to apologize. Why are you slandering my cousin?"

"Miss, don't be angry. I did explain everything to this lady that night. Madam, how can you just give me a name?" Zhao Ya immediately cried out that she was wronged, and ran to Xiao Yining to express her loyalty. "Miss, don't listen to other people's nonsense. I don't know how this word could be spread like this. Madam, it's not easy for me to do my job. Please help me explain."

Lin: ...

"Sister Yining, when you and your uncle went out to play and disappeared that day, was it Aunt Luo who saved you?" Liu Zhenying asked.

"Yes, we met Aunt Luo that day and came back together." Xiao Yining said.

Liu Zhenying looked at Lin in disbelief, "Is Aunt Luo punished for this?"

Lin's face was frozen and she hadn't answered yet. At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "Didn't Miss Xue say that her sister-in-law's skirt was stained by a man, and the injuries on her body were also caused by a man?"

Xiao Yining quickly looked around, but did not see the little girl named Lian'er.

"Don't look at it, cousin. That liar is not here."

Xiao Yining: ..., look at what you can do.

"Madam, although this is your family affair, since it involves my brother, we still have to investigate it thoroughly and clear my brother's name." Wang Cheng finally stepped into the house and looked at his niece helplessly.

Several young ladies stood behind him in unison as if they had found their backbone.

Wang Cheng:......

Lin's face was burning hot, and she was fidgeting. "This might be a misunderstanding. I know Ah-Qing and her daughter are mother and daughter. I discussed with her about getting a memorial archway a few days ago, but I didn't expect this to happen. I was panicked for a while."

"Madam, you should explain clearly what this matter is. My cousin's reputation cannot be tarnished for no reason." Zhao Ya reminded kindly.

"I, I, I..." Lin covered her chest, which was heaving violently, and she fainted.

Almost at the same time, Luo Lezhi couldn't hold on and fainted on the ground.

The onlookers: This fainting happened at the perfect time.

"Uncle, this lady's health is really poor. She has to take more than one hundred taels of silver worth of tonics every year, but they are of no use at all." Little Yining said without hesitation.

Wang Cheng: Shut up now, you've implicated me.

"What? Lin's medicine costs so much money for a year, more than a hundred taels."

Xiao Yining's words instantly caused an uproar in the crowd.

"Yes, this medicine was prescribed by Doctor Shangguan. I have seen Aunt Luo go to get the medicine several times as soon as she had a holiday." Wang Gungun also said loudly.

"Wang Gun Gun, shut up." Wang Cheng grabbed his pigtail and warned him impatiently. Then, he looked at Lin's twitching fingers, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and bowed to everyone. "This woman's reputation must not be tarnished, and the same goes for men. Can any uncle or aunt help me ask Jingzhao Yin to seek justice for my brother."
