[I knew this scholar was no good. I didn't expect him to have been lurking here for a long time, scouting for good prey and then making his move.]

Unfortunately, the family of the girl in the capital is not stupid. With a little inquiry, they will know what kind of person this scholar is and will not be deceived by a scholar with ulterior motives.

My cousin was different. Her parents weren't around, and she was estranged from my parents. She kept it a secret and didn't say anything. By the time my parents found out, they had already lost their innocence by being tricked by the scholar and had a child.

Phoenix Scholar was quite scheming. He knew that the matter was already settled, and with the child already born, it was a done deal. There was no other way but to marry his daughter to him in order to control his cousin's family.

It’s despicable just to think about it.

Mrs. Shen: “…”

Shameless.

Following Yan Bao's gaze, Mrs. Shen realized why this scholar could deceive the innocent girl. Look at this fair little face, the scholar's temperament is as gentle as jade.

Who would have thought that he was a liar and a scumbag?

Thinking of this, Madam Shen narrowed her eyes and asked Yan Bao and Yue Lingwan to go up first, as she had something to take care of.

I didn’t know that this scholar was so despicable before, but now I know. Madam Shen doesn’t mind being a bad person and getting rid of this scholar first to avoid harming her cousin.

This child, Mrs. Shen likes this child very much after spending the past few days together. She doesn’t want her to be deceived and ruin her life.

Getting married is like being reborn a second time. If she marries a bad man, she will be ruined.

Just as Madam Shen was about to speak, she heard Yan Bao say, "Oh, there's something interesting going on today. It's a good opportunity for my cousin to see the true face of this scholar, so that she won't be deceived by him if she fails the selection."

Mrs. Shen was in high spirits. There was a good show to watch? How could she miss it!

Yue Lingwan saw that it was getting late and wanted to go to burn incense early, but Yan Bao pulled her away and said that they wanted to buy a small windmill. Someone was selling it at a stall and she thought it looked good and wanted to buy one.

Yue Lingwan had no choice but to agree.

Yan Bao picked and chose for a long time, and finally waited for a group of angry people to arrive. They overturned the stall of the scholar and beat him up, scaring many people.

One of the young men, who looked honest and loyal, clenched his fists and beat the man until his face was bruised and swollen. "Zhao Youzhi, are you worthy of my sister? My sister cried until she went blind. To earn money for you to pass the imperial examination, her fingers were deformed from embroidery. And you, with the words that my sister was not worthy of your status as a scholar, abandoned her and caused her to jump into the river and die. And you stayed with my sister!"

"I don't even know your sister... You've got the wrong person, right?" Zhao Youzhi explained, "My name is Zhao Zhi, not the Zhao Youzhi you're talking about."

Some people jokingly explained: "It's obvious that he was wrongly accused. Even his name is different."

"Of course, Mr. Zhao has been setting up shop here for over a year. He's polite, sensible, and cultured. How could he do something so disrespectful?"

"That girl must have taken a fancy to Mr. Zhao and wants to keep him!"

Yan Bao complained about these ignorant people in his heart: [What do you know? He is good at pretending. Not only does he have excellent acting skills, but he also knows how to use a fake name. His name is Zhao Zhi, but he tells others that his name is Zhao Youzhi.]

[My cousin told me that my name is Zhao Zhi, which means "Zhi" in "wisdom."]

[He's so good at changing his name.] Yan Bao wouldn't let him get away with it so easily.

She glanced at Ziyun, who understood and found two people to cry and complain: "You killed my sister Guihua, you are a bad person, you are a murderer, let's go to see the authorities."

When Zhao Zhi heard the word "official", his face changed. He could not stand the investigation of the government, and he immediately retorted: "You are talking nonsense. I didn't harm Taohua. She threw herself at me. What does it have to do with me?"

"Oh, didn't you say you didn't know her? How do you know her name is Peach Blossom and not Osmanthus?"

The man who beat her was furious: "You admitted it, my sister is Taohua, and you killed her, you murderer!"

Scholar: “???”

Why did he admit it?

The crowd was in an uproar: "I didn't expect him to be such a talented person. What a pity for such a foolish girl."

"Don't judge a book by its cover. I'm talking about this scholar. I was thinking of introducing my sister to him. This kind of person is not worthy of my sister at all!"

Ignoring the chatter of others, Madam Shen looked at the frowning Yue Lingwan, knowing that she also despised this scholar who took advantage and refused to admit it, so she deliberately said, "It's really insulting. You dare to do it but not to take responsibility for it."

"He killed a person and slandered the girl's sincerity. That girl is so pitiful."

Yue Lingwan nodded in agreement: "It seems that scholars are not necessarily of good character, and not all scholars are good people. This scholar is not a good person. He deceived people and killed them."

Yan Bao nodded in agreement: "Cousin, please speak more. Recognize this face. Remember this. Next time you come here and see it, don't be fooled. This person is not a good person. He is just waiting to step on your flesh and blood to climb up!"

After watching a big show, Mrs. Shen was in a good mood. After worshiping Buddha and burning incense, she also had a vegetarian meal in the temple. The mountain spring water tofu here is good, and she also took some mountain spring water back to make tea for Shen Shoufu.

When they returned in the afternoon, the scholar's stall was gone.

He was beaten so badly that his parents didn't recognize him, and he was too embarrassed to set up a stall.

As for the poor Taohua, he bought her out with money. After she died, Taohua's family took fifty taels of silver from the scholar and buried her hastily. They used the fifty taels to buy a few acres of land, and they were able to make a living.

After recuperating, Zhao Zhi continued to set up a stall outside the temple.
