Falling into the mortal world

Lan Xiaotian was now completely innocent. Min Nancheng had a midwife brought in to verify Lin Tian's identity.

Everyone waited quietly for the result behind the curtain. Soon the midwife emerged.

The midwife said with great certainty: This woman is no longer a virgin.

Mother Lan was also startled; what should she do? "We can't explain ourselves now," she said anxiously to Lan Qingqing.

Lan Qingqing comforted her mother with her eyes, telling her not to worry.

Lan Qingqing said: "Just because she's not a virgin doesn't mean she can pin the blame on Xiao Tian. Truly, evil people often do the most wicked things."

Because the case required conclusive evidence to prove Lan Xiaotian's innocence, Lan Xiaotian had to be detained and the trial would continue on another day. Lin Tian, ​​whose theft was proven, was sentenced to three months in prison.

Lin Tian was taken away against her will.

After the court session ended, the elderly couple from the Lin family blocked the Lan family's way and demanded an explanation.

The onlookers were confused and assumed that Lan Xiaotian had bullied someone but didn't want to take responsibility.

Someone in the crowd said: If you're not satisfied with this woman, just marry her and leave her aside. Why make things unpleasant?

Exactly! It's just another woman. Now that the girl's reputation is ruined, how is she supposed to live if he doesn't marry her?

That's right! Since you've taken her body, isn't it reasonable to give her a proper status?

Listening to the discussions in the crowd, Lan Qingqing knew that everyone believed the Lin family was the victim.

Lan Qingqing said to the Lin family: "Truly, shamelessness knows no bounds. I believe the truth about who Lin Tian is involved with will soon come to light."

The second son of the Lin family was now convinced that Lan Xiaotian was the one who had ruined his daughter.

He angrily said to Lan Qingqing, "Second Uncle has never done anything to wrong your family, so why has your family humiliated my Tian'er like this? Now my Tian'er's reputation is ruined, are you satisfied now?"

Lan Qingqing said: The current situation is caused by your incompetence.

If you hadn't let them come here, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. Now that things have come to this, there has to be a resolution. Otherwise, my brother Lan Xiaotian's reputation will never be cleansed.

Lan Qingqing pushed the Lin family members away and left directly. The Lin family members couldn't cause a scene at the county government office, so they could only watch them leave.

On the way, Lan's parents couldn't contain their curiosity. Lan's mother asked Lan Dagen, "Doesn't this county magistrate look a bit like our son-in-law?"

"It's more than just alike! Could this county magistrate be a twin of my son-in-law? Otherwise, how could they look so alike?" Lan Dagen analyzed seriously.

What twins? You guys have such vivid imaginations. He is Min Nancheng.

The people in the carriage froze. What was going on? How did their son-in-law become a county magistrate? That was a real official position! They were all a bit overwhelmed by the news and could only slowly process it.

Lan Dagen asked in shock: "Girl, is he really Nancheng?"

"What do you think, Dad?" Lan Qingqing said.

"Daughter, did you already know?" Lan Dagen asked.

Yes, I only found out about this on my wedding day.

Daughter, why didn't you tell us? This is the county magistrate!

"I didn't tell you because I was worried you'd be too reserved," Lan Qingqing said.

Even after arriving home, Lan's mother was still reeling from the news that the county magistrate was their son-in-law.

It wasn't until the driver said they were home that Lan's mother came to her senses.

When Min Nancheng returned home that evening, he noticed the atmosphere was different; everyone's face was visibly tense. Even the servants were behaving differently than usual, behaving with unusual decorum.

Mr. and Mrs. Lan were also very cautious, afraid of saying something wrong and offending the county magistrate in front of them.

Min Nancheng said: Father and Mother, you don't need to do this. Just act as usual.

"Son-in-law! You are a county magistrate, so our family still needs to observe the proper rules." Mother Lan said cautiously.

"That's right! Your status is different now," said Father Lan earnestly.

Lan Qingqing looked at the two of them with amusement and said, "Father, Mother, you don't need to be so serious. The reason I didn't want to tell you was because I didn't want you to be nervous."

That's right. We should stay the same as before. There's no need for any changes. Also, it's best not to spread the word about my position as county magistrate for now. Otherwise, it'll be too much trouble for the villagers to kneel down to each other every time they meet.

"Alright, whatever my son-in-law says goes," said Mother Lan.

Although he said it was fine, he still felt a little awkward inside. After all, this was a real official. How could he not be reserved?

The reason Min Nancheng didn't want to reveal his identity was that he didn't want others to disrupt this rare peace.

Lan Qingqing broke the awkward silence by asking, "How does the county government plan to investigate Xiao Tian's matter?"

Since Lin Tian is no longer a young woman, she must have a lover. Therefore, we can only start the investigation from Lin Family Village. Min Nancheng said.

In fact, Lan Qingqing thought the same way. Only by finding Lin Tian's lover could Xiao Tian be cleared of wrongdoing.

Min Nancheng's speed was quite good; he discovered something unusual in just a few days.

Lin Tian used to stay at home and never went out except to go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables, so the villagers said that Lin Tian had no contact with outsiders.

The only unusual thing was when Lin Tian went up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables. When she came down the mountain, her hair was messy, her clothes were dirty, and she looked flustered. The villagers even went up to ask her what happened.

Lin Tian said in a panic that she had accidentally tripped and fallen, and then hurriedly went home.

Having a direction makes the search much easier.

Min Nancheng investigated everyone who went up the mountain that day, and finally found the old bachelor in the village.

The old bachelor is over thirty years old and has never been able to marry because of poverty. His parents have both fallen ill and passed away.

Only the old bachelor remained in the house.

The old bachelor was taken to the county government office by the officials, and after being intimidated, he confessed to everything.

It turned out that he had also gone up the mountain to chop firewood that day, and happened to see Lin Tian digging for wild vegetables, so he went up and chatted with her for a bit.

After chatting for a short while, he realized that Lin Tian was also a restless person. He then became lustful, and Lin Tian half-heartedly complied with him.

Afterwards, I planned to propose marriage, but Lin Tian refused to marry me no matter what. She said she already had someone she liked.

They said I was a toad trying to eat swan meat, and I was so angry that I went home. A couple of days later, I heard that she went to her cousin's house.

Lin Lao Er said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense here. How can you make up such a thing that will ruin someone's reputation?"

I'm telling the truth. Lin Tian has a birthmark on her chest. If you don't believe me, you can have it checked.

Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, Lin Tian had no choice but to resign herself to the situation and confess.

The truth finally came to light. The second son of the Lin family couldn't accept the news at all. He simply couldn't believe it had come to this.
