After leaving the room, Minister Shen quickly closed the door and then straightened his clothes again.
Upon seeing this, the servant quickly lowered his head.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Master, something terrible has happened! Miss is in trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Minister Shen raised his voice slightly: "What happened?"
"Just now, the young lady took her maid to see the foreign envoys. Who knew that the young lady would hold hands with Lin Shixuan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, in public and even kiss him."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Minister Shen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He glanced at the door and then hurried toward the front hall.
Where did you hear that from?
“Master, there’s no need for me to inquire at all.”
"There were many people standing at the entrance, and I couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard I tried."
Minister Shen quickened his pace, walked through the corridor, changed direction, and headed directly for the door.
How could this happen?
"Lan Xue is not even of marriageable age yet. If this is discovered, her reputation will be ruined."
The servant almost cried after hearing this.
"Master, people outside are saying... saying that... Miss... Miss has already slept with that Young Master Lin."
Minister Shen almost couldn't catch his breath, and twisted his ankle as he walked down the steps.
The servant was startled and hurriedly pulled Minister Chen away.
Minister Shen, his hands trembling, braced himself on the steps. "What did you say?"
"Asleep?"
The servant's eyelids twitched wildly. "Master, please go out and take a look."
"I'm afraid... Miss has really messed up this time."
"Okay, okay."
Ignoring his aching foot, Minister Shen limped to the front door.
He was stunned when he saw a dense crowd of people standing at the door.
"this……"
The commotion of the crowd abruptly ceased when they saw that the gates of the Minister's residence had finally opened.
"What...what are you doing?" Minister Shen asked, voicing his true feelings.
The people standing at the front tugged at their tattered trousers and said, "Minister Shen, your daughter was kissing and sleeping on the ground in public in the street."
"Some people even saw her sleeping with the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenbei."
The woman in red raised her hand: "Minister Shen, I saw your daughter taking off her clothes with him. I was working as a cleaner at that teahouse last time."
Before long, many of the people present began to speak up.
Minister Shen was utterly bewildered.
Then he said weakly, "You, you're sure you saw it?"
"I see it, I see it! Minister Shen's good fortune is just around the corner!"
"Yes, Lin Shixuan might become the top scholar in the imperial examination in the future. Minister Shen, congratulations!"
Hearing that grating congratulations.
Only Minister Shen knew that the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion had fallen into ruin.
Another commoner said, "Minister Shen, we've come to tell you this out of kindness. Will there be a reward?"
"Yeah yeah."
"We didn't even bother to visit the envoy today; we just wanted to tell you about this."
"Although your daughter did something wrong, it's not a big deal, we can accept it."
Money makes the world go round.
【Hahaha……】
Lin Wanwan, held in Lin Chang'an's arms, stood at a distance with Yao Qianshu, listening to the people's words, laughing so hard that drool dripped from her mouth.
[We've lost both our wife and our money; we have to pay it all, and our daughter's reputation is ruined too.]
[That's weird, who's the wingman?]
Lin Chang'an: ...The most cunning one is none other than my younger sister.
[Poor Minister Shen.]
[Madam Shen and her daughter kept the same male lover, and he pitifully went to coax him.]
Lin Chang'an stared wide-eyed at Minister Shen, who was frantically explaining himself in the distance, and felt a chill run down his spine for him.
Meanwhile, Yao Qianshu, who was watching from the side, was thoroughly enjoying himself and would occasionally offer a few comments.
"Lin Shixuan is really bold."
“He would fight with Sister Shen outside.”
"I only bumped into him, but he just grabbed me and hugged me."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Chang'an.
"Chang'an, did you really see them having a clothes-removal competition last time?"
Lin Chang'an blushed when asked the question. Could he really be so blunt?
This guy, he's not even ashamed to ask that question.
"Yes, I really saw it last time."
Upon hearing this, Yao Qianshu clapped his hands.
"Ah, I'll tell my mother about this method when I get back."
“My dad often bullies my mom. I’m telling my mom to have a striptease contest with my dad next time. If she wins, she can warn my dad that he’s never allowed to bully her again!”
Lin Chang'an: ...I think I've run into an idiot!
"Ahem, Qian Shu, don't we still have things to do?" Lin Chang'an asked.
"No, we've already finished it, haven't we?" Yao Qianshu said simply.
Lin Chang'an reached out and patted Yao Qianshu on the head.
"Fool, let's go watch the show at the gate of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Minister Shen will definitely take his daughter to the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion to demand an explanation."
Yao Qianshu then realized what was happening, and a smile returned to his eyes.
"Yes, yes, go quickly."
The two hurriedly ran towards the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.
On the way, they also met Xiao Chengyun and Sun Chengcai.
The four men, forming a gang and carrying a child, rushed towards the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, afraid of missing the start.
Minister Shen was in a hurry to leave, but seeing the people who were reluctant to leave, he gritted his teeth.
"Someone, go to the treasury and get some silver to reward these people."
The servant suddenly looked up. Had the master lost his mind in anger?
These people are ruining the young lady's reputation; the rumors are all over town, and the master still wants to give them money.
Minister Shen roared, "Why aren't you going yet?"
