Zhang Tingyu then instructed, "Send someone to keep an eye on what that Miss Qiu is going to do, and lend a hand if necessary."

"yes"

At this time, Qiu Wen was unaware that she was about to receive help; she was busy spreading the story of Wang Hailin's deeds!

Of course, she couldn't do this alone. Wang Hailin had done a lot of bad things, so he naturally had many enemies. Together, they formed a force. Qiu Wen relayed the message from behind the scenes. Even if they didn't know who was behind it, the businessmen who had been bullied by Wang Hailin would also join in.

As a result, her role in the matter naturally became insignificant, and people would only think that Wang Hailin had done too many evil deeds, so it was normal for people to talk about it.

Qiu Wen had planned everything perfectly, and the execution of her plan went incredibly smoothly. Qiu Wen felt it was going too well, but she didn't think much of it. After all, she wasn't very familiar with ancient times, so she didn't suspect anything.

After all, she couldn't imagine who would be free to help her.

"Miss, Wang Hailin's reputation has been terrible lately."

Qiu Wen was also happy, but to be on the safe side, she still said, "Should we keep an eye on Wang Hailin's movements and see what he's up to?"

At the prefectural government office, Lin found an opportunity to meet the prefect.

Wang Qiang looked at Lin Shi, still holding his first wife in some respect.

"Is there anything you need, Madam?"

Madam Lin said with a bitter face, "My lord, I didn't want to come to you, but someone has humiliated me!"

Wang Qiang respected his wife. Although he didn't dote on her, they were still husband and wife, and her reputation was also his reputation.

"What happened?"

Madam Lin said, “When I attended the banquet, a lady said that I didn’t do anything about the prefect’s brother-in-law. I was so ashamed. I thought my brother had done something that would anger heaven and man. But when I sent people to investigate, it turned out that Aunt Wang’s brother had been forcibly buying and occupying other people’s shops. This was not the first or second time.”

"I didn't want to tell you, sir, but the rumors have gotten worse lately, saying that you're condoning your brother-in-law's greed for money. I'm being watched all the time and I'm too ashamed to go out. Besides, Shu'er is about to be engaged. What will happen to my daughter if things continue like this?"

Wang Qiang genuinely didn't know about this: "Are you telling the truth?"

It's no wonder he asked that question; after all, matters concerning the inner quarters are not easy to discuss.

Lin said with a face full of shame and anger, "If you don't believe me, sir, just send someone to investigate. This matter has spread far and wide, and even ordinary people know about it."
