After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 228 Take it out on her behalf

"That's right, how much money can a woman earn? It seems like she's the only one living in that yard.

You don’t know, but at night you could hear the sound of piano playing coming from that courtyard, and I also saw a man coming out of it several times.

Tsk tsk tsk… I never thought there are such ignorant people around us. You really can’t judge a person by his appearance.”

Another woman also began to speak: "As for her, I seem to have heard that she was divorced by her husband's family.

What kind of abilities can an abandoned woman have? All she has are those little tricks. One time, I saw a lot of people in her yard in the middle of the night, including people from the county government. It seemed like she was involved in a lawsuit.

The more she talked, the more exaggerated it became. She even said that she was surrounded in the middle of the night because she helped Qu Yuanxun. These women really had a mouth full of shit and started spewing shit.

After hearing these words, Lin Lin turned around and went to her own courtyard without even looking at the women.

She knows what she is like, and she has her own career to pursue, so why should she care about the rumors spread by these common women?

She and they are no longer on the same level.

Lin Lin doesn't care, but Qu Yuanxun does. The things these people are talking about are about him and Lin Lin.

It was he who taught Lin Lin to play the piano, and it was he who asked Lin Lin for help with the case. He didn't know what these women said about Lin Lin behind her back.

If he hadn't sent Lin Lin back this time, he would have had no idea that Lin Lin was being criticized. It was all his fault.

"Lin Lin! We don't want to shoulder this reputation. Follow me!"

Qu Yuanxun grabbed Lin Lin's wrist and wanted to take her with him to argue with those women, asking them how they could talk about others behind their backs.

Lin Lin pulled her hand away. The mouths were on other people's bodies. Could she block their mouths?

"Forget it. The innocent will be innocent. My time is precious and there is no need to waste it on them. Master Qu doesn't need to send me off anymore. Playing the piano is just my hobby. I don't care whether I am good at it or not."

After saying that, Lin Lin returned to her own courtyard and closed the door.

She said she didn't care, but what she meant was that she wanted to stay away from him and not let him teach her to play the piano.

Originally, the relationship between the two was good, and Lin Lin even let him get close to her and talk to her a little. But now, all that he had worked so hard for was ruined by the gossip of these women.

Qu Yuanxun was so angry that he walked directly towards the three women. His deterrent power was fully displayed at this moment.

"Shut up, you gossipy women, you like to talk about other people's shortcomings and ruin their reputations. You should reflect on yourselves..."

Qu Yuanxun was a scholar, it was impossible for him to beat someone up right away. Besides, he never beat women except when doing office work.

The three women waited for Qu Yuanxun to come closer, not taking it seriously, thinking that Qu Yuanxun was just Lin Lin's adulterer.

Lin Lin dressed so well that she even replaced the gate of her courtyard. Her life was so extravagant that it made people jealous.

They can only slander her for doing a shady job to show off their purity. If they have money to go to the Tea House for a cup of tea, they will not say such things.

"What are you talking about? You're even protecting her. You're a handsome man, but you're hooking up with an abandoned woman. You must not be a good person.

You think you are her only patron, but you don't know how many men she sees in one night, so pretentious, bah..."

It was the first time that Qu Yuanxun was insulted by a street shrew. He clenched his hands and wanted to go up and tear the mouths of the three women opposite him.

"Really? You live nearby? Do you know everything about Lin Lin?"

Qu Yuanxun endured it. Since Lin Lin didn't care about these gossips, he would take care of them.

Another woman spoke up, "We live here, but we saw with our own eyes that the woman living in that courtyard was not disciplined. Don't be fooled by her. She specializes in cheating men out of their money."

After these people finished speaking, Qu Yuanxun gritted his teeth, took out a flare from his sleeve, and fired it towards the county government office. In less than a moment, all the bailiffs in the county government office rushed to Qu Yuanxun's side.

When the three women saw this, they were stunned.

How is this going?

Why are all the people from the county government here?

"Come here, bring these three people who insulted me and slandered others to the county government office. I will teach them a lesson.

Also, according to the laws of this dynasty, those who do not keep their wives in good order will be punished. I will follow your majesty's example and ask the husbands of these women if this is how they discipline their wives."

As soon as the word "this official" came out, the three women knew they were in big trouble. In Wenzhu County, the only person who dared to call them that was the county magistrate.

"Yes, sir, I will find the husbands of these ladies right away."

The three gossipy women were furious. How could this be allowed? If their husbands were arrested and taken to the county government office because of them, they would definitely skin them alive when they got home.

"My Lord, I was ignorant and wrong. I will never again dare to curse you or speak ill of others. Please let us go."

"Since you know you are ignorant, I will naturally find someone to teach you about this. Gossiping and destroying someone's reputation is no different from killing someone by slow slicing. Come, take them away."

This place is not far from the county government office. The fact that the county magistrate was able to fire a signal flare to call the yamen runners out shows how angry he is.

When they got here, more than a dozen yamen runners didn't dare to speak, so how dare these women?

Late in the night, the three were brought to the county government office, and soon the husbands, children, and family members of these women were also brought over.

They are not criminals, they are just morally corrupt.

Looking at the crowd of people in the room, none of them had received much education, and their families were just ordinary people who made a living by hard labor.

"My Lord, I have done nothing wrong. Please investigate carefully and do not wrongly accuse me."

The man who was arrested was about 40 or 50 years old. He was caught by the yamen runners late at night and had a confused look on his face.

"Come here, bring them stools, and also call the chief clerk over to me."

More than a dozen people, anyone who had any connection with these three women, were called over. Everyone was very scared and had no idea what was going on.

Qu Yuanxun spoke only after everyone was present.

"It's late at night, and everyone is tired after a day's work. I understand you, but Wenzhu is under my jurisdiction, and someone dared to harm the interests of Wenzhu County. I cannot ignore this matter.

Meng Zhubu, write down the names of these three women, and who their husbands are. Stand up."

Facing the county magistrate, the men were afraid and hesitated. Finally, under the gaze of their families, they had no choice but to stand up.

"Sir, I am Wang Sufen's husband!"

"I...I am her, Ma Xianhua's man!"

Another one also said: "I am Wang Feng's man."

Several people now began to understand that their family members were taken to the government office probably because their women had caused trouble.
