Farming and reading family

She has seen all kinds of things since she lived in the earthen kiln, and now a shrew wants to take advantage of her son.

When everyone heard Gao E say this, they nodded.

Wang's eyes rolled around and she started crying again: "I can't live any longer. My daughter's innocence has been ruined and she's been sent to the government office to bring shame upon herself. I can't live any longer. I'd rather die with my daughter."

As she said this, she was about to pull Tang Furong to hit her against the wall.

Only then did Gao E see the woman who had caused this trouble with her son. She was wearing a rouge-pink chiffon dress and was as fragile as a willow branch in the February breeze.

When everyone saw Wang dragging Tang Furong to death, they stepped forward to stop them.

"Madam Chen, this is a living life. Please don't provoke them." A scholar saluted Gao E.

Gao E looked at the scholar and asked, "Are you a student of Qingtan Academy?"

The man blushed when he heard Gao E ask this: "Not yet."

"Fortunately not." Gao E sneered. "In your eyes, whoever makes a fuss is always right? You don't know what's right or wrong?"

The scholar's face suddenly turned even redder.

Gao E looked at the Wang mother and daughter who were trying to commit suicide and asked: "Are you trying to commit suicide out of fear of punishment?"

The person who wanted to pull Wang's mother and daughter away let go instantly.

Wang stared at Gao E and said, "I will die to prove my resolve."

"Tsk!" Gao E laughed. "With your ambition to throw a tantrum, you still want to die to prove it?"

Wang Shi heard Gao E say this, and her mouth twitched: "Then you can't be unreasonable."

"You should be thankful that I am reasonable. Otherwise, if I said you offended me, I would throw you into jail instead of finding out the truth here." Gao E sneered.

When the people around heard this, they realized it was true. Madam Chen was a second-rank imperial concubine.

The new magistrate was named Lin. He was a scholar who had just passed the imperial examination last year and knew about the deeds of Zheng Yongbo.

He did not seek to make any achievements in He County, but only to avoid making any mistakes, as long as he could complete his three-year term safely.

If I stay in office... then it will be another three years.

"Mrs. Chen." Lord Lin hurriedly saluted when he saw Mrs. Chen.

Gao E stood up and nodded in return. "Lord Lin, someone here said that my son ruined her daughter's innocence and was caught red-handed. Lord Lin, please investigate."

Lord Lin hated Wang without asking any questions. He chose to offend the Chen family instead of anyone else.

In the past, when their family did not have the title, not everyone could mess with them.

"Okay." Lord Lin nodded.

"Zhengyan, tell me what happened." Gao E sat down again.

Chen Zhengyan stepped forward and saluted. "Today, I went to the fields to check on the crops. I saw Miss Tang sprained her ankle and called for help. I couldn't help her, so I gave her a branch to lean on and I walked her back."

"To thank me, she asked me to go to her house to drink some water. I thought it was a big inconvenience, so I drank a bowl of water at the door. Then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was in Miss Tang's room." His voice became smaller at the end.

"I can testify." Suddenly someone stood up.

"What are you proving?" Lord Lin thought to himself that he must not let this kid cause him any trouble.

"At that time, I did see Mr. Chen following Miss Tang, who was leaning on a tree branch." The student saluted.

Lord Lin looked at Tang Furong: "Is that so?"

"Your Excellency," Wang kowtowed. "That boy was just pretending. He followed my daughter home."

"I..." Chen Zhengyan was anxious.

"Zhengyan." Gao E called out to her son, who was anxious to explain himself. "Lord Lin will make his own judgment."

Chen Zhengyan nodded.

"You said her last name is Tang?" Gao E rarely encountered this last name in He County.

"Yes." Chen Zhengyan nodded.

"Who is your father?" Gao E looked at Tang Furong.

Tang Furong lowered her head and said nothing.

"What do you want to do?" Wang immediately protected her daughter.

Gao E frowned and said, "Master Lin, I want to know who this mother and daughter belong to, and who owns the house they live in."

"Okay." Lord Lin immediately sent someone to investigate. "This may take some time."

"It's okay, I have plenty of time." Gao E said calmly, "Besides Wang, who else discovered my son and Miss Tang in the room at that time?"

Wang looked at the maids on the side and said, "You all saw it."

The maids were all servants from the surrounding courtyards, and were invited by Wang to visit her home today.

"I told you that you look down on everyone every day, but why did you suddenly ask us to visit your house today? It turns out you want us to give false testimony for you." A maid immediately distanced herself from the matter.

"That's right." Another woman also realized, "You even deliberately took us to your daughter's room. What kind of daughter would invite others to her boudoir?"

"You..." Wang was a little dumbfounded.

These old women were originally going to testify for her, why did they suddenly change their minds?

These old women are not stupid. Gao E has such a high status that Lord Lin has to listen to her. They can still tell which side to stand on.

"Sir, we were also deceived by her. When we went in, Mr. Chen was lying on the bed motionless, and only his daughter was crying. Without saying a word, Wang dragged Mr. Chen out of the door, shouting and screaming, as if she was afraid that others would not know." A maid said hurriedly.

Women love gossip, and if they turn something into a conspiracy, then it's all a conspiracy.

"Ms. Wang, is that so?" Lord Lin looked at Ms. Wang.

"My daughter has been ruined, and you still want me to worship him?" Wang said crying.

"You keep saying that your daughter's innocence has been ruined, but you are afraid that others don't know that your daughter's innocence has been ruined." Gao E stared at Wang.

Everyone around him thought it made sense.

"I can't let my daughter suffer in silence." Wang argued.

"How many people are there in your family?" Gao E asked suddenly.

"Why are you asking this?" Wang asked alertly.

"If my son really did something to your daughter, why didn't she struggle or scream?" Gao E sneered. "Even if no one is home, there are so many houses here that people around here would have heard it."

Everyone thought so and since today was a day off, many people decided to stay as guests at homes in Yamaguchi.

Wang's eyes flashed: "My daughter is delicate, she doesn't dare."

"Your daughter wouldn't dare, and neither would you?" Gao E wasn't annoyed. When you meet a shrew, you should be patient and not get angry with her. "But she dared to make such a fuss afterwards."

Wang didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Mrs. Wang, what else do you have to say?" Lord Lin took the opportunity to scold.

"Sir, my daughter's innocence has been ruined, and my family is the one who suffered." Wang patted her chest and said, "You can't side with them just because they have a title."

"What nonsense." Lord Lin thought that Wang had gone mad, daring to keep accusing the Chen family.

"Lord Lin, calm down." Gao E advised, "Why don't you first ask her family how they want to resolve this matter."

Lord Lin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Gao E say this: "Wang, now that things have come to this, how do you want your family to resolve this matter?"
