"In that case, shall we call the village head to settle this matter?"

In any case, the women will suffer losses, so the bigger the commotion, the better, because that way the main branch of the family will never be able to hold their heads up in the village again.

"Then let's call the village headman over and let him judge this matter. I'll go and call him right now."

Han Chunying was about to run out to find the village head when she was pulled back after only a few steps.

"Why are you, a young lady, causing trouble? You're making a scene, aren't you? Just stay home."

Liu Meie stopped her, which Han Chunying found very difficult to understand. Was she just going to let them continue to act so recklessly at home?

"Mother, what do you mean? Aren't you annoyed by them?"

"Are you stupid? All they want is money. If we give them enough, they'll be fine. If you go and find the village head, the whole village will know. How will our family ever be able to hold our heads high in the village again?"

"But Mother, can you guarantee that if we give you the money, our family's reputation will be preserved?"

Given Cao Jinfang's hatred for her family, if she isn't subdued this time, her family will likely never have a peaceful day again.

"You're not allowed to go. It concerns your sister-in-law's reputation. You can't go and listen to her."

After finishing her sentence, Liu Meie went back inside to check the situation.

“Grandma, I really didn’t do that. I’m not afraid of you reporting me to the authorities or going to the village head. I’ve done nothing wrong and I’m not afraid of you.”

"Hmph, stubborn as a mule. Let's see how long you're going to keep up this stubbornness."

"You say I have no evidence, but you also have no evidence. You're just spreading rumors about me based on your own words? How can that be?"

“My grandson is a scholar, everyone in the village knows that. How could someone who has studied the classics do wrong?”

Cao Jinfang clung to this point, and under Han Jinling's encouragement, everyone believed her and concluded that Cui Yulu was a prostitute.

At this moment, Han An, who had just woken up, arrived here with the help of Zhao Guifang. When he saw Cui Yulu, a smug smile appeared on his lips.

After being glanced at by Han Yu'an, she quickly pretended to cough: "Ahem, everyone, let's disperse. We're family, so let's not be so formal. I can understand that my sister-in-law has a crush on me, but as a scholar, I know my principles and would never do anything to bring shame to the family. This time, I've decided to let things go. Grandma, let's forgive Yulu. She's still young and has a lot to learn."

After speaking, he coughed a few times, looking as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

I refuse to believe that such kindness can't move this little girl.

“Look at Han An, he’s such a reasonable person. He’s educated, so his words are different. We can’t let this Cui girl get away with this.”

"Aunt Han, thank you for your concern, but I really don't want to hold Yulu responsible. Let's go."

Cui Yulu just coldly watched Han An put on his act. This scoundrel seemed to be speaking up for her, but in reality, he was pinning the blame on her.

That man is really cunning.

"Han An, why don't you tell the truth? You were the one who tried to molest me, and I'm just pretending to be a good guy. You're so insidious."

Cui Yulu's face turned red with anger, like a boiled shrimp. She had never seen such a shameless man before; today was truly an eye-opener.

"What's wrong? I'm so concerned about your reputation, how can you not be grateful?"

Han An looked at Cui Yulu with a helpless expression, thinking, "Let's see how you turn things around this time."

"That's right, Han An is such a good person. He was bullied by this woman and he still spoke up for her. It's rare to see such a person."

"Han Jinling, what business is it of yours? What are you talking about?"

Liu Meie couldn't stand Han Jinling's tendency to constantly seek attention and make herself noticed.

"What did you say? I'm telling you, I've disliked you for a long time. I've said it today, so what? What can you do about it?"

Han Jinling keeps trying to mess with Liu Meie; today, we'll completely ruin your family's reputation.

Soon Zhao Guifang also got involved, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.

"Have you all made enough of a scene? Stop it now."

Han Yu'an's cold voice rang out in the room, startling everyone. They wondered if this idiot was going to hit someone again.

"Han An, you keep claiming to be a virtuous gentleman, but do you still remember what happened when we were children? How did you steal my destiny and take over the life that was originally mine?"

This statement shocked everyone.

Only Cui Yulu looked at him with concern: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me."

Han Yu'an grasped her hand, continuing to look at Han An with a cold gaze: "You and your mother tricked me into coming to town, secretly switched my fate, and even pushed me onto a rock, deliberately making it look like I hit my head. Have you forgotten all of that?"

This shocked everyone even more. No wonder Han Yu'an, who was so smart before, suddenly became stupid. This was the reason.

"I didn't want to expose your true colors so quickly, but you forced me to."

Han An and Zhao Guifang were immediately dumbfounded. This guy had been pretending to be stupid all along?

"Is everything Han An said true?"

The most shocked person was Liu Xiuying. Over the years, she had always been grateful to them for bringing Han Yu'an back, but upon hearing this, she felt a chill run down her spine.

"I've been so good to you all these years, and you've been plotting against my grandson. Now you're trying to harm my granddaughter-in-law. What are you really up to?"

Han An obviously hadn't expected Han Yu'an to return to normal, but he absolutely couldn't admit that Han Yu'an was the hope of this village and the future prime minister.

"Han Yu'an, who told you this? Who remembers things from when you were three years old? Do you believe that? Besides, what does this have to do with your wife trying to seduce me and then pushing me into the water?"
