Jiang Ling felt this was a family scandal, and since she usually had a fairly good relationship with Zhao Erleng's wife, she simply nodded to her and left in a hurry.

No sooner had she left than Zhao Erleng's wife quickly caught up with her, and upon seeing the basket Jiang Ling was carrying, she suddenly became hesitant to speak.

Zhao Erleng's wife is usually a straightforward person, so Jiang Ling was certain that she had something to ask of her because of this sudden expression.

Thinking back to what happened yesterday, I'd guess it was most likely aimed at Er Ya.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling said calmly, "Come with me to the inn first, Yaojie and Nianci haven't eaten yet!"

Zhao Erleng's wife was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood the meaning of Jiang Ling's words. She gratefully followed behind Jiang Ling.

The two arrived at the inn, and Jiang Ling calmly placed breakfast on the table. Then, Jiang Ling led Zhao Erleng's wife to the backyard of the inn.

It was still early, and most people hadn't gotten up yet, making the place exceptionally quiet.

"Is it about Er Ya?" Jiang Ling cut straight to the point without wasting any words.

Zhao Erleng's wife didn't expect Jiang Ling to be so direct. She blushed slightly and nodded awkwardly, "I...I know I'm ashamed to come to you, but I really have no other choice! Can you...can you just take pity on me?"

Seeing Zhao Erleng's wife looking so humble, Jiang Ling felt a little sorry for her. Although Er Ya was the one who brought this trouble upon herself, the incident still happened in her own village. Moreover, there were people from the capital city involved. If they really tarnished the reputation of Lu Family Village, then all of Jiang Ling's efforts would have been in vain.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling sighed helplessly, "Tell me first, and I'll definitely help you if I can!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Erleng's wife grasped at the last straw and almost knelt down to kowtow.

"Sister-in-law Erleng, hurry up and tell me, what is it?" Jiang Ling probably hadn't rested well, and her temper had become inexplicably irritable.

Startled by Jiang Ling's shout, Er Leng's wife nodded somewhat flusteredly.

It turned out that after leaving Jiang Ling's house last night, Zhao Erleng's family was in complete chaos. Er Ya's mother beat Er Ya up, and Gan Kai was terrified when he saw Er Ya's fierce parents.

But he refused to admit that he had an inappropriate relationship with Er Ya, and even claimed that Er Ya had taken the initiative to seduce him in his room, but he had no interest in her.

Unexpectedly, Er Ya became enraged and took off her clothes in front of him, preparing to falsely accuse him of molestation! He said that he would never marry such a cunning country girl, not even as a concubine.

Hearing Gan Kai's sophistry, Er Ya's father almost slapped Gan Kai across the face. In the end, Zhao Erleng took Er Ya's mother to Gan Kai's room, took the blood-stained bed sheet, and threw it at Gan Kai's face.

Unfortunately, Gan Kai was far more cunning than anyone expected. He claimed that the blood on the sheets was from a sore on his back that he had accidentally scratched, and had nothing to do with Er Ya! Even after a midwife was called in that very night, Gan Kai still insisted that Er Ya might have lost her virginity at some point and was now blaming him.

The stalemate continued until dawn the next day, and the matter remained unresolved.

At this point, Zhao Erleng's wife's eyes were already red. She looked at Jiang Ling and pleaded, "Yaojie's mother, please, can you help our family? I know Er Ya has gotten into trouble again, but she's not even fourteen yet. What are we going to do after this? What family will want her in the future?"

Jiang Ling was helpless after hearing this. It wasn't like modern times where DNA testing could directly detect the results. But... just then, an idea flashed through Jiang Ling's mind.

Jiang Ling rolled her eyes and lowered her voice to Zhao Erleng's wife, saying, "Erleng's wife, I don't have any good ideas either. Let's see if you can fool him!"

"What?" Zhao Erleng's wife looked up at Jiang Ling, her eyes filled with hope.

Jiang Ling thought for a moment, then moved closer to Zhao Erleng's wife and whispered her thoughts.

"This...this really works?" Zhao Erleng's wife stared wide-eyed at Jiang Ling, covering her mouth in disbelief.

Jiang Ling shrugged helplessly. "What can we do? Unless you have a better idea!"

Zhao Erleng's wife bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay... let's... let's take this gamble! Thank you, Yaojie's mother! I'm going back now!"

Jiang Ling remained silent, watching Zhao Erleng's wife leave.

Zhao Erleng's wife nervously walked home, clutching the hem of her clothes.

At this moment, everyone present had different expressions. Zhao Erleng's wife glanced at Er Ya and Gan Kai with annoyance, then turned to her brother, sister-in-law, and husband and said, "Husband, brother, sister-in-law, please come out for a moment!"

Although the three of them were a little confused, they still followed Zhao Erleng's wife out.

"Girl, just say what you have to say! I'm fucking furious!"

"Yeah, yeah! Girl, have you thought of a solution?"

Zhao Erleng's wife's brother and sister-in-law asked noisily.

Zhao Erleng's wife glanced inside the door, and after confirming that Gan Kai wasn't eavesdropping, she lowered her voice and said to the three of them, "Actually, there is a way, it just depends on whether we dare to take a gamble!"

“Er Ya and Gan Kai must have had a relationship. Since they had a relationship, there’s a possibility that she’s pregnant. We can use that to our advantage. We can let him go for now, but only if Er Ya is pregnant for ten months and the baby is born and a blood test confirms that it’s Gan Kai’s. Then we’ll go to their house and make a scene. Anyway, we’re just farmers, we don’t care about appearances like those rich people do!”

"If this matter blows up, it will leave a bigger impression on the Gan family! I heard that this guy has never married a proper wife. I guess his family wants to find him a suitable match. If he causes such a disgraceful incident, which family would let him marry a girl of equal social standing?"
