This terrible teammate is none other than the Fan family!

Madam Fan felt that her son had become an official, and seeing the smiling eunuch delivering the imperial edict, she believed that he was on her side, since officials protect each other!

Then she jumped out and pointed at Yang Cui: "Eunuch Liu, let me tell you, this woman is my former daughter-in-law. She's extremely vicious. Yesterday, she even caused my granddaughter from the other side of the family to be kidnapped..."

"Mother, stop talking!" Lin Shikang said through gritted teeth. After he finished speaking, he pulled Fan Shi behind him and said to Eunuch Liu, "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Eunuch, why don't you go to my humble abode and rest for a while?"

"What misunderstanding? Shikang, you don't need to speak up for her, this bitch..." Madam Fan tried to push Lin Shikang away.

“My mother has been too irritable lately, and she’s talking incoherently. Quickly take her to see Doctor Qi.” Lin Shikang winked at Lin Sanjin, who understood and immediately pulled Fan Shi away, while his wife reached out to cover Fan Shi’s mouth.

"Wait!" Yang Cui blocked his way. "You hit me, slandered me, and think you can just walk away? Lord Lin, it's not that easy. Or is this some kind of privilege of your Lin family? Even the emperor is subject to the law, so does your mother think she's more powerful than the emperor?"

Madam Fan became furious: "You shameless woman, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Yang, don't talk nonsense!"

The Lin family was terrified. If the emperor took Yang Cui's words seriously, the execution of the entire family would be the least of their worries!

Lin Shikang gritted his teeth in anger: "Xiao Cui, this is all a misunderstanding. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. As for your injuries, I will pay for your medicine."

“This incident has damaged my reputation. I want your mother to come to my house, set off firecrackers in front of everyone, and solemnly apologize to me!”

Lin Shih-kang's face was as black as ink.

He had just officially become an official of the imperial court when his mother came to his door to set off firecrackers to apologize to Yang Cui. If word got out, how could he save face?

What would the Emperor think if this reached his ears?

Yang Cui was very pleased with herself. She knew that Lin Shikang did not want Eunuch Liu to know the ins and outs of the matter and wanted to make a big deal out of it and let it go. But she did not do as he wished!

With a smile, Eunuch Liu said, "From what you've said, Madam, it seems a life has been taken. That's no small matter. Lord Lin must handle this impartially and not give the criminals a chance to escape justice! Madam, don't get agitated. Tell us your grievances, and we'll stand up for you! If we can't do it, there's still the Emperor above us!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shikang felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.

Just what I feared most has come to pass!

Looking at the smiling eunuch Liu, Yang Cui felt that he was helping her.

Madam Fan was extremely pleased with herself, feeling that her son was indeed remarkable, even the eunuchs in the capital gave him face.

Like a victorious rooster, Fan glanced triumphantly at Yang Cui, then began to list Yang Cui's crimes in detail...

"That bitch is trying to ruin our Lin family just because my son wants to divorce her. Actually, it's all a misunderstanding. We thought she was unfaithful, which is why we proposed the divorce. We didn't expect that she would find someone else so quickly after the divorce. I bet she's been hooking up with someone for a long time. Shameless slut! A woman going to restaurants and showing her face to a bunch of men every day is simply immoral!"

“Mother, please say less. Eunuch Liu has no interest in these trivial family matters. It’s all a misunderstanding.”

Lin Shikang really didn't want to discuss this issue with Eunuch Liu here. He had a feeling that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

But his mother spared no effort in smearing Yang Cui in front of Eunuch Liu: "She killed our clan chief before, then she killed one of my nephews, and now she's caused my distant granddaughter to be kidnapped. This woman is vicious!"

"It's all a misunderstanding. Let bygones be bygones. It's too difficult for the children if their parents don't get along. Xiao Cui, what did you say?" Lin Shikang's gaze fell on Yang Cui, deliberately mentioning the children in the hope that Yang Cui would stop there. After all, he was the child's father, and it wouldn't be good for the child if the father had a bad reputation.

Yang Cui could understand his meaning perfectly well, but what did it matter that he was the child's father? He had done nothing for the two children except contribute his sperm and sperm!

As long as they have money, Er Ya and San Ya will have a good future, not to mention they now have a first-rank general as their stepfather! Cen Xiao treats them well too.

"I didn't kill your clan chief Lin; he was driven to his death by your own people!"

After saying that, Yang Cui's gaze fell on Eunuch Liu and she continued, "Eunuch Liu, you don't know this, but the Lin family's character is truly disgusting. The father broke the law and went to jail, and the daughter, for the sake of reputation and a better life, encouraged her mother to remarry. When the Lin clan chief learned that his grandson was in jail and his great-granddaughter was like this, he was so angry that he died!"

And the abducted child she just mentioned is named Lin Xiaolian. She was kidnapped while digging for earthworms. It's really not my fault. I know our two families have a feud, but they're throwing all sorts of accusations at me. I'm truly wronged. Not only are they making me pay compensation, but they've also beaten me up like this..."

After saying that, Yang Cui even managed to squeeze out two tears.

"You're talking nonsense!" Madam Fan jumped up, her finger almost poking Yang Cui's face.

Yang Cui was so frightened that she took several steps back, covering her head and crying, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"

Looking at Yang Cui like this, Eunuch Liu thought to himself, no wonder Lin Shikang's promising future was ruined. With Yang Cui's intelligence and such a family member who was dragging him down, it was a miracle that Lin Shikang was still alive.

“Madam Lin, the matter has not yet been investigated clearly. This lady may not be guilty. If you hit someone, you will be the one arrested and imprisoned.”

As soon as Eunuch Liu spoke, Yang Cui knew he was on her side.

Lin Shikang was certain that he would lose face today, and he would have to spend a lot of money to bribe Eunuch Liu. He could only hope that Eunuch Liu would not pass on the message after returning to Beijing.

Fan then calmed down: "Father-in-law, this slut is always good at making excuses! Don't listen to her. She is sworn enemies with our Lin family. She once said that she would not accept earthworms from any member of our Lin family. But now our Xiaolian was kidnapped because she dug earthworms for her. Isn't that a coincidence? Don't you think she should be held responsible?"

“I did not accept Lin Xiaolian’s earthworms. I said I would not accept your Lin family’s earthworms, and that is and it is. I did not accept them before, I do not accept them now, and I will not accept them in the future! Why would Lin Xiaolian dig for earthworms? You should ask her yourself, or you can ask your eldest granddaughter, Lin Daya.”

Lin Daya was startled when she was suddenly called out. In fact, she had been scared ever since Lin Xiaolian disappeared, because she knew that if she hadn't told Lin Xiaolian that she had a way to get Yang Cui to collect earthworms, Lin Xiaolian wouldn't have gone, and if she hadn't gone, she wouldn't have been kidnapped.

She's the source of this whole thing!

When everyone's eyes turned to Lin Daya, she was terrified. She hurriedly waved her hands and denied it, saying, "It's not my fault! It has nothing to do with me!"

"Why are you scaring the child?" Madam Fan glared at Yang Cui.

Lin Daya suddenly said, "Auntie, Xiaolian's earthworms were indeed dug up for you! She was kidnapped because of you!"

These words caused an uproar!
