Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Yan Nansheng, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she walked forward, and her small body instantly exuded a powerful aura.

She looked directly at the mother-in-law of the Wang family and said righteously, "Mother-in-law Wang, it is totally unreasonable for you to seize other people's dowry like this. It is not worthy of an elder! How can you force your daughter-in-law to use her own dowry to subsidize your sister-in-law!"

Mrs. Wang was a little confused by this sudden accusation and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Sister-in-law Wang Ranran was very angry when she saw that a ten-year-old child dared to speak like this.

"What do you know, little brat? This is our Wang family's family affair, it's not your turn to butt in!"

Yan Nansheng sneered at the words, "Family affairs must be handled with reason! You are so rude and unreasonable, you are simply bullying me! What unlucky family would dare to marry a woman who is eyeing her sister-in-law's dowry?"

The old woman from the Wang family then saw clearly that this was Mr. Yan from the Yan family. Seeing her daughter offend Yan Nansheng like this, she secretly thought that something was wrong.

The Yan family is powerful and wealthy. If you offend them, you will be in big trouble.

Instantly, her attitude took a 180-degree turn, and she quickly apologized with a smile and begged for mercy: "Oh, Mr. Yan, the child is ignorant, you are a generous person, don't argue with her. We were just confused for a moment, please don't take it to heart."

"Tsk..." Someone laughed.

Everyone then realized that Mr. Yan was only ten years old, but he was asked to be more tolerant and not look at how old his own daughter was. It was really ridiculous.

Yan Nansheng folded his hands in front of his chest, looked at the old woman of the Wang family coldly, and said: "Since you know you are confused, you shouldn't act like this. You should be conscientious and you can't deceive others just because Sister Le Ling is kind."

The old woman from the Wang family nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, the young master is right. We will definitely change it in the future." Jiang Leling looked at Yan Nansheng gratefully, and the grievance in her heart was slightly alleviated.

Wang Ranran was very angry when she saw her mother nodding and fawning on a ten-year-old boy. "Mom, he's just a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet. Why are you being so humble to him?"

The people in the shop who knew Yan Xiucai laughed and said, "You don't even know Yan Xiucai, and you dare to take away her sister's dowry. You are really ignorant."

"That's right, is it great to have a scholar brother? What's there to be proud of as a 20-year-old scholar? Scholar Yan was the first in the child examination five years ago!"

"Five years ago, I was only five years old!"

Those in the crowd who didn't know Yan Nansheng yet exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my god! He passed the imperial examination at the age of five! And he even ranked first!"

"I heard that he was rewarded by the emperor and has a close relationship with the Xie family army."

Everyone was talking about Yan Nansheng's glorious past. Every time they said something, Wang Ranran's face turned pale.

Only then did I realize how stupid I had been.

But it was too late to regret now. Seeing Yan Nansheng's cold expression, she was so scared that she started crying.

Jiang Leling, who was standing by, gave a bitter smile upon seeing this.

This is the way my sister-in-law would act. If she can't win the argument, she will cry and make a fuss. She doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, Sheng'er is a scholar.

If this tarnishes Sheng'er's reputation, I would be repaying kindness with enmity.

But when Jiang Leling thought about the fact that she would not be able to escape the sarcasm and ridicule from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law when she returned home, she felt a headache.

It's not that I'm afraid of them, but I think of how my husband never said a word when my mother-in-law and sister-in-law asked me for money and things in various ways. Sometimes he would even say, "We don't have nothing. What's wrong with giving some to mother and sister? We are not giving it to outsiders."

But this money didn't come from the wind, it was embroidered by her stitch by stitch, staying up late into the night.

Sometimes I would work on my embroidery for days at a time without leaving the house, and my eyes would feel extremely uncomfortable.

I always keep some medicinal herbs that are good for the eyes. Although they are not expensive, they can relieve eye discomfort.

But the mother-in-law boiled all these herbs and gave them to her husband, saying that he had worked hard in his studies and he didn't want to damage his eyesight any more.

It's not that I'm stingy and don't even give my husband some medicinal herbs, but can you at least leave some for yourself?

There are countless such things, and I don’t even know how many times I have compromised.

This family is really...

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt, and my eyes gradually turned red.

When Yan Nansheng saw that Jiang Leling's eyes were red with grievance, he immediately decided not to let this weird family go.

If he dares to bully Sister Le Ling in front of outsiders, wouldn’t he be even more arrogant at home?

How dare they bully Sister Le Ling so blatantly? It’s because they think Sister Le Ling has no father or mother and only an elderly grandmother.

Even if she is bullied to death, is there no one to support her?

Humph! Let them know that we will not let anyone who dares to bully our Qinghe Village go like this!

What if I don’t have my parents’ support? What if I don’t have my brothers’ support?

She is her confidence!

Yan Nansheng walked to Jiang Leling's side and helped her up, "Sister Leling, you've been wronged."

"If you have any grievances, just speak up. Fortunately, I saw you today. When I wasn't looking, did you also suffer grievances and just endure it?"

Jiang Leling knew Yan Nansheng wanted to seek justice for her, but...

"Sheng'er, let's go home and talk about this. There are so many people watching here, it's not good for your reputation."

From Jiang Leling's words, Yan Nansheng realized that the reason why Sister Leling endured the bullying of this family was because she was afraid that a fight would affect her reputation.

After all, scholars care a lot about their reputation.

It seems that Mr. Wang from Sister Le Ling's family often brainwashes Sister Le Ling in this way.

The Yan family is considered a wealthy family in the entire Qingshui County, and the girl he married is the daughter of a family that has a close relationship with the Yan family.

So Mr. Wang was using PUA on Sister Le Ling?

Yan Nansheng didn't want to let this family go even more.

Although he was angry at their shameless bullying of Sister Le Ling, he still didn't know Sister Le Ling's true thoughts, if Sister Le Ling still had feelings for that scholar.

If I bring shame to the Wang family, when Sister Le Ling returns to the Wang family, she may be subjected to even more severe torture.

But if this matter is handled lightly, they will continue to bully Sister Le Ling when I am not around.

No, I still have to ask Sister Le Ling’s opinion first.

Thinking of this, while everyone was attacking the mother and daughter of the Wang family, he whispered in Jiang Leling's ear, "Sister Leling, you don't need to worry about my reputation and put yourself in a difficult position."

Jiang Leling looked at Yan Nansheng in a daze, surprised that he would say that.

She quickly shouted to Yan Nansheng in a low voice: "Sheng'er, don't do that. Reputation is the most important thing for a scholar. If your reputation is ruined, it will affect you when you go to Beijing to take the exam in the future, and you will be laughed at."

"Don't ruin your reputation just to stand up for me. It's not worth it." Jiang Leling explained to Yan Nansheng anxiously.

She knew Yan Nansheng's protective nature. If he knew that her dowry had gone into the Wang family's pocket, he would definitely make a fuss.

All my money-making skills came from Yan Nansheng, so I can’t let myself affect Yan Nansheng.
