The scholar kowtowed anxiously, "Grandfather, please forgive my rudeness, but I really have no other choice. Do you remember when the young lady was thirteen years old, she was sent to the Lin family farm to recuperate for about six months? That was when I met her and secretly fell in love with her!"

Lin Yiwan actually remembered that she had indeed been to the farm.

But I have never met this Brother Jing. I believe that the person behind the plot also understands that only falsehood and truth can be most believable.

Sure enough, Doctor Lin fell silent.

The scholar immediately burst into tears and recounted, "Back then, the young lady was naughty and went fishing in the creek behind the mountain. She accidentally fell into a deep pit. I happened to run into her and, concerned about her reputation, I found a rope to rescue her. But when she came out, she threw herself directly into my arms, crying and saying she was cold!"

Everyone was stunned. Is this Miss Lin so vigorous?

Someone immediately spoke up for the Marquis's son: "Look, she remarried on the spot, and even said that the prince was immoral. She knew how to seduce men at the age of thirteen. She should be the one to be thrown into the pig cage!"

This immediately infuriated Lin Ran, and he retorted harshly, "Shut up, my Wanwan is definitely not that kind of person!"

Su Zisheng said sarcastically, "Whether she is that kind of person or not, we need to see what this scholar says. Brother Lin, you have been lying in bed for the past two years, how can you know what kind of temperament she has outside?"

Lin Ran retorted without hesitation: "At least our Wanwan didn't rush to force a paralytic to marry her!"

"You!" Su Zisheng was so angry that he felt ashamed.

The scholar spoke quickly, "Please stop arguing, both of you. I came to the capital to find Wanwan to get a token of love. Back then, I felt sorry for her cold and drowned, so I agreed to her request. She was so grateful that she promised to marry me in the future and even gave me a small piece of underwear as a gift!"

When they saw the pink shirt in his hand, everyone couldn't help but look at him with disdain.

Someone even shouted, "Such a shameless woman is truly disgraceful. Privately giving and receiving is a grave sin and she deserves to be put to death!"

The scholar was immediately anxious. He cried and begged, "Don't execute Wanwan. She was still young at the time and her behavior was inappropriate. Now I'm here. I hope to marry her and live a good life with her. I hope you can show mercy!"

He kept kowtow to everyone, and did not stop even when his head was bruised.

Everyone was moved by him and couldn't help but say, "Lin Yiwan, you're lucky to have such a generous scholar willing to accept you. Why don't you quickly help him up and give him a legitimate identity?"

Su Zining also spoke fiercely, "Lin Yiwan, I never thought you would do such a despicable thing. What qualifications do you have to blame the prince and Chen Zhilan? It was obviously you who violated your wifely virtues first and hooked up with men!"

Lin Yiwan was not angry. Even though everyone scolded and blamed her, she remained calm.

The scholar was already staggering from the kowtow. He originally thought that since things had gotten to this point, Lin Yiwan should stop him to calm things down, right?

But not only was she indifferent, she even looked like she was smiling.

The scholar couldn't help but speak, "Wanwan, don't be afraid. I'm here. I'll definitely take all the abuse. I was afraid you'd be cold, so I ignored your reputation and held you in my arms!"

Lin Yiwan clapped her hands and said, "What a heartbreaking drama! I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I really can't remember myself doing such a jerk thing? Hooking up with a decent scholar? Giving her underwear as a gift? Is that so bold?"

Su Zining angrily accused him, "You did it and you deny it. Do you really think everyone else is deaf and blind? Isn't this pink dress proof? I remember clearly that you like pink the most, and it's all embroidered with evening primrose flowers. Just ask yourself, which noble lady in the capital would use such a humble pattern?"

Lin Yiwan curled the corners of her lips. It turned out that the other party was really putting on a full show this time.

He even found out about Xi Yanhua!

Thinking of the maids who had been driven out of the yard before, she laughed even more wantonly.

She said calmly: "Xiyanhua is right, and Xiaoyi's color is indeed correct!"

Su Zining sneered complacently: "Then you still dare to deny it? In front of everyone, Lin Yiwan, just admit that you are also a lowly and shameless slut!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhan Yan and said, "My Lord, you have seen her character now. As the God of War of the court, how can you marry a shameless and dissolute woman as your wife? Divorce her immediately and make her leave the house with nothing. This is the punishment she deserves!"

Zhan Yan raised his eyebrows calmly: "Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in the family affairs of my mansion? It seems that the lesson just now was not enough. You should have your tongue cut off!"

Su Zisheng was startled. He quickly raised his hand and slapped Su Zining hard. He begged, "My Lord, please don't take Zining to task. She's just concerned about the reputation of the Marquisate!"

Zhan Yan was the first to express his attitude: "I will not admit anything that has not been thoroughly investigated. I want to hear what my wife has to say!"

Lin Yiwan spoke slowly, "Logically, matters like the undergarment shouldn't be discussed publicly. Since he's slandering me like this, I must produce evidence. However, anyone implicated will be executed immediately after the incident. Scholar, do you still insist that this undergarment was given to you personally?"

The scholar was momentarily frightened. He was afraid of death!

He originally thought that by ruining Lin Yiwan's reputation, he could make her his wife, and in the future, he would be able to rise to prominence by connecting with the Lin family.

But I didn't expect that it would lead to such serious consequences.

As he hesitated, Zhan Yan also saw the clues. He shouted angrily in a deep voice: "You slandered my wife's Qingbai and you should be skinned alive. Have you thought it through?"

The scholar was so frightened that he paralyzed himself. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the crowd.

Lin Yiwan caught his gaze in time and saw Zhan Duoer.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, and it turned out to be Madam Zhan who was the mastermind behind all this.

She said slowly, "Ling'er, go and invite the famous embroiderer of the dynasty. Aren't all my clothes made by her skillful hands?"

Ling'er answered without hesitation: "I have already asked the highly respected embroiderer in advance. She can't wait to come forward and clarify things for Madam!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but praise: "Little girl, you're so thoughtful!"

Ling'er laughed innocently: "It's not all my credit, but also Miss Zi'er, she carried the embroiderer here!"

The highly respected lady embroiderer of the time walked quickly into the crowd, saluted Zhan Yan first, and then saluted Doctor Lin.

She cleared her throat and said, "It's well known that Imperial Physician Lin is the most formidable physician in the palace, deeply respected by the nobles. Therefore, his mansion is often gifted with fine fabrics, and the fabrics used in Miss Lin's clothes are all mulberry brocade cotton bestowed by the emperor!"
