Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 164: Brothers and Sisters, Gambling

Grandma Dai spat in my aunt's face.

Mrs. Jiao was immediately disgusted. She pointed at Grandma Dai and cursed, "Who the hell are you? What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?

I tell you.

Ying Zhilin just molested my granddaughter.

If he doesn't marry my granddaughter, I will sue him for being immoral and treacherous!

I'll go to the authorities to file a complaint.

If I can’t sue the government, I will go to the Imperial Examination Hall to file a complaint.

Ying Zhilin, I advise you to be sensible and marry my granddaughter, otherwise I will make you study for ten years in vain."

Old Mrs. Jiao thought she had figured out Ying Zhilin's weak spot and was fearless.

Grandma Dai spitted at her again and said, "I was wondering why the Jiao family had such a good family tradition that it went astray later on.

It turns out that I married a scumbag like you.

When your mother-in-law was alive, she would always respectfully call me "Old Sister". How dare you, an ignorant person, call me an old thing?

If it weren't for Ying Zhilin, the grandson of Wenquxing, whose merits and demerits offset each other, the coffin lid of the Jiao family's ancestors would have exploded."

When it comes to quarrels, Grandma Dai has been the leader of Songshan Village for so many years and has never lost to anyone.

She scolded Mrs. Jiao so much that her face turned red and her neck became thick.

He pointed at Grandma Dai and kept saying "you, you, you" for a long time, but didn't utter a word.

Grandma Dai grabbed her fingers and twisted them back: "If you dare to point at an elder, I will find the head of the Jiao family and send you back to your parents' home!"

Mrs. Jiao was so angry that she rolled her eyes and was about to faint.

The other two younger women just felt that Grandma Dai was being arrogant because of her age.

She immediately stood up and started a quarrel with Grandma Dai: "When did it become your turn as an outsider to butt in on our Jiao family's affairs?

Your mouth is so poisonous, your ancestors must have been pissed off to death by you!

Instead of meddling in other people's business here, why not untie your belt, hang it on the lattice, and then go downstairs and kowtow to your ancestors to apologize!"

"That's right. You're old and still don't know how to be polite with your words. Be careful of the retribution on your descendants. Generations of them will be dumb and unable to speak. Ah - hit me!"

The young woman hadn't finished scolding him yet.

Grandma Dai slapped her in the face.

The young woman screamed in pain.

Grandma Dai slapped her again on the other side of her face.

Now, both of her cheeks were symmetrical.

"I am the wife of the head of the Ying clan. Even if your parents come, they have to politely call me aunt. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you yell at me?"

Wen Yan: “!!”

Ying Zhilin: “!!”

Others who joined in the fun: “!!”

I didn’t expect that Grandma Dai, who is usually gentle and loving, would be so fierce when scolding people.

They were all glad that they had never offended her, otherwise they would have been scolded to death!

Ying Zhilin coughed twice and comforted Grandma Dai: "Please calm down. It's not worth it to get angry and hurt your body."

Grandma Dai snorted coldly and sat down aside.

Wen Yan quickly poured her a cup of tea to moisten her throat.

Ying Zhilin turned to the officer and said, "Brother officer, now that the source of the rumor has been found, please go and bring the Huang mother and daughter to court for trial."

The police officers would not shirk their responsibilities after receiving bribes.

He immediately sent two men to the next village to arrest the person.

Ying Zhilin thought about it and came to Ying Zhixue.

He said to her, “Don’t you think I’m biased?

Let's make a bet.

Now you follow the officer to Fulu Village. As long as you can convince Huang Ying'er and take the initiative to clarify the rumors, I will obey you in all future family matters."

"Are you serious?" Ying Zhixue's eyes sparkled.

"If you lose, calm down and study hard at home to learn the rules."

"I can't lose!" Ying Zhixue was full of confidence.

Those rumors were completely false.

Cousin Ying'er likes big brother so much.

They will definitely be willing to stand up and tell the truth to clear each other's name.

She is sure to win this bet!

When she gains power, she will definitely teach Wen Yan how to be a virtuous sister-in-law.

A girl who goes out alone with a police officer is likely to attract criticism.

Ying Zhilin asked two strong-willed aunts in the village to accompany her.

The family served good wine and food to entertain the remaining servants.

Half an hour later.

The officers took the Huang mother and daughter back to Songshan Village and went directly to the ancestral hall of the Ying family.

Many villagers from other villages came with them.

They all saw the officers arresting people and came to join in the fun.

Aunt Jiao rolled her eyes when she saw so many people. She sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying aggrievedly: "We mother and I are so miserable. All our sincerity has been wasted..."

Aunt Jiao cried loudly, but that did not stop her from speaking clearly.

From what she said, it should be known that the three Lin siblings are the real ungrateful people.

Over the years, thanks to her care, I was not taken advantage of by my uncles and aunts.

They are ungrateful.

Ying Zhilin took her daughter's body and didn't want to take responsibility.

Ying Zhixue stamped her feet anxiously and pulled Huang Ying'er's hand: "That's not true. Cousin Ying'er, please be fair!

We were inseparable during those days, and my brother didn't even talk to you alone.

How could I possibly destroy your innocence?"

"Zhixue, you are still protecting him now. Just think that I have misjudged you all these years." Huang Ying'er's eyes were red. She shook off her hand in disappointment and knelt down beside Aunt Jiao.

She held Aunt Jiao's arm and cried, "Mother, please don't beg them for my sake. I can't bear to see you humiliated.

My daughter's innocence has been ruined. Let her die. At least the Huang family's reputation can be preserved. It's better than being humiliated again and again."

Ying Zhixue widened her eyes in surprise, unable to believe what she heard.

The mother and daughter sang in unison and won a lot of sympathy.

Many people sided with her, pointing fingers at Ying Zhilin and calling her ungrateful: "You still call yourself a scholar. But it seems to me that you've read so much that it's all gone to waste."

"How's the saying? Most loyal people are butchers, and most unfaithful people are scholars."

Amidst the discussions, Ying Zhilin remained unmoved by their tactics and instead looked at Ying Zhixue.

Ying Zhixue's face was pale, and her worldview was greatly shocked.

When she found that her elder brother was looking at her, she felt so guilty that she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

She recalled everything that happened on the way back.

She walked side by side with Huang Ying'er.

She first analyzed the pros and cons of the rumor with Huang Ying'er. Her eldest brother might bear the stigma of having an affair without a matchmaker for the rest of his life. If he was used by someone with ulterior motives, he might even be unable to take the imperial examination.

Finally, he persuaded her to come forward to clarify the rumors and promised her a benefit: "Big brother promised me that as long as you are willing to come forward, he will minimize the damage caused by the rumors to you.

He will also prepare a generous dowry for you, allowing you to marry with dignity, and will be your lifelong support."

But how did Huang Ying'er respond to her?

"Zhixue, are you going to force me now? You said before that you only recognized me as your sister-in-law, but it turned out that you lied to me."

Ying Zhixue looked at Huang Ying'er as if she didn't know her.
