“Father, you are mistaken. Yongxiu has never thought of such a thing.”

"snort!"

Yang Ting refused to believe it. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his opponent.

"Back then at Danyan Tower, I sensed something was wrong with you. I warned you several times, but you remained unrepentant and have now caused such a disaster!"

"My lifelong reputation has been ruined by the efforts of generations of the Yang family, and now you, my unfilial son, are going to destroy it all!"

The Yang family has always been proud to be compared to the family of Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty.

Both are from scholarly families in Sichuan.

Back then, Su Dongpo's family was hailed as "three Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) from one family".

The Yang family already has three Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations), and they are just waiting for Yang Zhen to pass the examination and surpass the Su family.

Yang Zhen stood tall, his eyes clear and bright, showing no sign of flinching or backing down.

"Yong Xiu stood upright and acted righteously, never coveting another man's wife. Regardless of right or wrong, he cannot admit to this vile crime!"

"You dare say you never had any ulterior motives, and that no one ever noticed?!"

"It's too late to say all this now!"

Yang Ting was so angry that his fingers trembled.

"No."

Yang Zhen stared at Yang Ting with clear eyes.

He had no romantic feelings for Su Wanwan, let alone any desire for her.

At most, there was a bit of curiosity and pity for this highly legendary woman.

He was a scholar on whom his family placed high hopes, yet his marriage was not a matter of his own choosing.

He should pass the imperial examination and marry a virtuous woman of equal social standing.

Now that he is over twenty, he is still not engaged. His grandfather hopes that after he passes the imperial examination, he can choose a powerful family for marriage.

At that time, they will be able to choose any of the noble ladies in the capital.

There was absolutely no possibility between Su Wanwan, a widow who had been married before, and him.

He had never had such an unrealistic idea before.
