Jiang Wan’s words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly waking Zhang Caijin up.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by buying on credit under someone else's name? I don't understand!"

Zhang Caijin was only panicked for a moment, then he quickly calmed down and said confidently, "I instigated someone to beat Qian Yu? He deserved it. Who told him to always bully poor students like us in the private school? If he hadn't come up to me, would I have beaten him for no reason?"

Seeing that he was being stubborn, Jiang Wan turned around and gave Wu Quan a wink.

Wu Quan had been told several times by his cousin Fu Wu on the way. When he saw Zhang Caijin in person, he excitedly walked up to him, pointed at Zhang Caijin and said, "You are the one who came to our bookstore to buy on credit! And you used the name of Master Xie Lan!"

After these words were spoken, Huang Ming and the others lying on the ground no longer cared about the pain and all turned their eyes to Zhang Caijin.

Zhang Caijin certainly couldn't admit it, and he immediately retorted: "Don't slander me! When did I go to the bookstore to buy on credit? Don't be in cahoots with Jiang Wan and deliberately frame me!"

Wu Quan was tongue-tied and his face turned red with anger, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence to refute.

Fu Wu next to him could not stand it any longer, pointing at Zhang Caijin and cursing, "Mr. Zhang, you took advantage of my cousin's young age and inexperience, and took things from my bookstore on credit every time. You also used Mr. Xie's name to try to put the blame on Miss Jiang and Mr. Xie. You are vicious and have evil intentions. You have read the books of sages for so many years in vain. You are not worthy of being a scholar at all! Your despicable behavior is a disgrace to scholars and a disgrace to others!"

Fu Wu cursed very happily.

He misunderstood Jiang Wan and Xie Lan just now, and then he caught the real murderer. How could he not be excited and indignant?

Jiang Wan applauded him and praised him, "Young man, you're right. A scumbag like Zhang Caijin is not worthy of being a scholar. He really brings shame to the reputation of you scholars."

She looked at Huang Ming and the others on the ground with an ambiguous look in her eyes, but with a hint of ridicule.

Huang Ming reacted the fastest and questioned Zhang Caijin, "Brother Zhang, I recognize these two people. They are the employees of Qingfeng Bookstore. They said that you went to the bookstore to buy things on credit under someone else's name. Is that true? Are the valuable writing materials you brought to the private school these days all bought on credit?"

Li Quan wanted to speak up for Zhang Caijin and said, "Brother Huang, hasn't Brother Caijin already denied it? These people have bad intentions and may be deliberately trying to frame Brother Caijin."

Jiang Wan burst out laughing and said, "We framed him? Mr. Zhang's family is poor, why would we frame him? Now we have the evidence, Zhang Caijin, you still don't admit it?"

She looked at Zhang Caijin slowly. She was clearly smiling, but her eyes revealed an unavoidable sense of oppression.

Xie Lan also glanced at Zhang Caijin calmly, and said in a deep voice: "If Mr. Zhang doesn't admit it, then we will go to the county government office."

Zhang Caijin felt as if he had been hit on the head with a heavy blow, and his body instantly went limp.

But he forced himself to stand up and wanted to argue a little.

Just at this moment, a group of people came running in from outside, led by a beautiful woman dressed in rich clothes.

She glanced around in panic, saw Qian Yu in a dishevel, rushed over, and burst into tears.

"My little Yu'er! How did you become like this? Who, who beat you into this state? Tell me, I will avenge you!"

Qian Yu was hugged tightly by his mother, Mrs. Qian, and glanced at Jiang Wan with some embarrassment.

When Qian Yu found that she was looking at him with a half-smile, his ears turned red. He slowly pushed Madam Qian away and said, "Mom, I'm fine. Don't cry."

Mrs. Qian cried again, and then called the doctor who was accompanying her to take Qian Yu's pulse and treat him.

While the doctor was examining Qian Yu, Mrs. Qian turned around, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Zhang Caijin and Huang Ming, cursing, "Who is Zhang Caijin?!"

Huang Ming betrayed Zhang Caijin without hesitation, "He is!"

Madam Qian glared at Zhang Caijin, walked up to him, and without saying a word, reached out and slapped him a few times.

Mrs. Qian had long fingernails, so the force of the slaps might not have been strong, but her fingernails left long red marks on Zhang Caijin's face, and even blood was seen.

"what!"

Zhang Caijin was in a daze and was slapped several times by Mrs. Qian. He felt a burning pain on his face.

"I told you to bully my little Yu'er, I told you to beat him up, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you poor scholar will really rebel!"

Mrs. Qian scolded and beat him at the same time. When she got tired, she called the old mother who was serving her to beat him again.

The old lady has been doing rough labor all year round, and her hands are much stronger than Mrs. Qian's.

Before she had hit him a few times, Zhang Caijin's cheeks became red and swollen, and his mouth and nose were bleeding.

Madam Qian was still not satisfied watching from the side, so she ordered the servants behind her, "You, go and clean up those bastards on the ground!"

The servants followed orders and started punching and kicking Huang Ming and his men.

"Ouch, my face!"

"my stomach!"

"My legs are going to break! Stop it! Stop it!"

The screams one after another echoed throughout the small school.

Jiang Wan spoke only after seeing that Zhang Caijin had been beaten almost enough.

"Madam, Zhang Caijin used my cousin's name to borrow thirty or forty taels of silver from Qingfeng Bookstore. I'll spare his life for now. Once he pays off his debt, you can do whatever you want with him."

Madam Qian glanced at her sideways, the anger on her face dissipated a little, and she said gratefully: "Miss, you saved my little Yu'er, right?"

Jiang Wan paused and said, "My cousin saved him."

Madam Qian went to see Xie Lan again. Seeing his outstanding temperament, she was attracted by him and quickly thanked him, "Thank you very much for saving my life!"

Xie Lan nodded, "Madam, you are too kind."

Qian Yu walked over despite the pain and said to Madam Qian, "Mother, it was Sister Wan'er who saved me! If she hadn't given me the pill, I would still be in critical condition!"

Madam Qian cried out, grabbed Jiang Wan's hands and thanked her sincerely, "Miss Jiang, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. I wonder if you are married or not? If not, why don't you be my daughter-in-law? My little Yu'er is sixteen years old and still unmarried, so she is a perfect match for you!"

As soon as she said this, Xie Lan's face darkened.

Why are both the son and the mother targeting Jiang Wan?

Qian Yu blushed, tugged at Madam Qian's sleeve, and said shyly, "Mother, Sister Wan'er is beautiful and kind-hearted, how can I be worthy of her..."

Mrs. Qian was overjoyed. It seemed that her little devil also fell in love with Jiang Wan, otherwise he would not be so shy.

"Miss Jiang, my Qian family has nothing but money. As long as you agree to marry Xiao Yu'er, you will be the mistress of the family, and the financial power of the family will be handed over to you!"

Mrs. Qian agreed generously, as if she had determined that Jiang Wan was her daughter-in-law.

Jiang Wan was stunned by Mrs. Qian's swift and decisive behavior.

She paused for a moment before saying, "Mrs. Qian, I'm already married, so I'm afraid I can't be your daughter-in-law."
