Faced with Yu's accusations, Constable Wang frowned and looked at Lin Yan.

Lin Gouzi has a terrible reputation.

He's been in the county jail several times.

He wished this person would die sooner.

But now that the person has suddenly disappeared, they have no choice but to investigate.

Despite being stared at by him, Lin Yan remained calm.

She suddenly squatted down, grabbed a handful of yellow soil, threw it at Yu's face, and haphazardly pulled at her hair.

Shouting loudly:

"You wicked woman, if you curse my mother again, I'll beat you to death! People are saying your son ran out of money at a brothel in town and got beaten to death by the brothel staff!"

Xie Rui heard that she had suffered from mental illness before.

Thinking she had suddenly been triggered and had another attack, and worried that she would be at a disadvantage, they rushed over to protect her.

In the instant he lowered his head, he suddenly met a pair of bright and cunning eyes, whose owner secretly winked at him.

He understood what she meant instantly.

His handsome face flushed red as he took a few steps back and let her do as she pleased.

"I'll beat you to death, you idiot! How dare you slander my son! It's clearly your mother who's been cheating on you, that's why God punished your family by turning you into an idiot!"

"Smack!"

A crisp slapping sound suddenly rang out.

It turns out that Lin Zhenghong couldn't stand Yu's slander against his wife and slapped Yu!

He remembered his daughter telling him about how Lin Gou had bullied his wife.

He could no longer restrain himself and took action.

"Watch your mouth. When has your son ever not been kicked out of a brothel or casino? If you really want to find your son, go to the brothel in town and ask everyone if they've seen him come back to the village in the last few days."

It was just a coincidence.

Because they still owed money to the villagers, Lin Ergou and Lin Gou returned to the village secretly that time, and no one saw them.

"That's right, sir, don't listen to this old woman's nonsense. Her son has never been back to the village. A few days ago, we even saw him going to a brothel in town! Besides, Ye's own husband is so tall and strong, how could he possibly be interested in her ugly son? Even if you don't have a mirror, you can still piss, right? He looks like a jar, I wouldn't take him even if you paid me."

It was Aunt Wang who said this.

She would often go to Ye Lan's place to make clothes together, and she had looked down on the Yu family for a long time.

"Yes, sir, her son is a scoundrel. He steals chickens and dogs, gambles and drinks, and does all sorts of evil deeds. He harasses any pretty woman he sees!"

With Aunt Wang taking the lead...

More and more villagers are complaining about the Yu family and Lin Gou.

The head constable understood the gist of the matter and drew his broadsword, plunging it into the face of the still wailing Wang.

"Your son disappeared in town. If you want to report this to the authorities, go to town first. Don't linger at people's doorsteps and make false accusations. Now get back home!"

Startled by Zeng Liang's gleaming knife, Yu immediately stopped wailing.

He got up, dusted himself off, and slunk away.

The incident was thus temporarily resolved.

After Officer Wang and the others left, Lin Zhenghong clenched his fists and clasped them together in gratitude.

"Thank you all for your righteous words today. If you ever need any help in the future, our family will definitely do our best to assist you!"

After chatting for a while, everyone went home, and the once lively courtyard finally returned to peace.

When Xie Rui and his brother returned, Lin Yan gave them all the pastries and fruits she had taken from Master Wu.

With a son-in-law suddenly appearing in the family, Lin Zhenghong scratched his head rather awkwardly.

Feeling somewhat annoyed and blaming myself:

“We haven’t built a new house yet, so our son-in-law will have to make do with this little shabby house. How about this, daughter, Xiaoyan and Xiaoyu will sleep in the east room with us, and you two will sleep in the west room.”

"Let Xiao Yu sleep in the east room with you. He has difficulty walking right now. Xiao Yan and I will sleep in the west room so we can keep an eye on him."

"Okay, your mother and I will go make dinner now. We'll bring it to the west room when it's ready. Go keep your son-in-law company. He's just arrived at our home and might not be used to it yet."

Lin Yan thought that since her parents were cooking with her, she couldn't help much, so she went to the west room.

I originally thought Xie Muqing would hate this place.

After all, the original owner of this body had done such a thing to him, and he wished he could tear her to pieces.

Moreover, he was a prince in the past.

He is also the only direct descendant of the Xie family.

He would definitely be angry and upset if he were suddenly forced to marry into her family, and might even take all his anger out on her.

But she didn't expect it.

When she opened the door, the scene she saw was him teaching his younger siblings to read.

"Young Master Xie? Our home is rather simple, with only two rooms. I'm sorry to trouble you, my younger brother, and me to sleep together for the time being."

"It's alright. I also slept on the same kang (heated brick bed) with my two younger brothers at home. Now that we are husband and wife, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me by my name."

"Hmm, what's wrong with this county magistrate? He's just randomly pairing people up. It really wasn't me who planned it; I've never even met the county magistrate. But don't worry, although I did some dirty tricks on you before, that was when I was still naive. And I know your Xie family would never agree to a son-in-law marriage. We'll get a divorce in a while and just say I'm tired of you. The county magistrate shouldn't pursue the matter any further."

Speaking of this, Lin Yan was really embarrassed.

After all, just a few days ago, Xie Rui was only the son of a concubine in the second wife's household, and his desire to marry into the family was sternly rejected by Madam Xie.

But today, the Xie family's only legitimate son is forced to marry into the family of a peasant girl.

I bet Mrs. Xie is furious!

Do you hate me so much that you can't wait to abandon me?

To Lin Yan's surprise...

After she said she could get a divorce, Xie Muqing did not show any joy on her face.

Instead, she looked pitiful, as if about to cry.
