Chapter 526 Extra: Lu Linlang and Chen Youlin (VIII)

Just as she was watching the show proudly, a maid suddenly rushed out.

She knelt down before the man.

"Please, go back and tell Miss Han that my young lady will cancel the engagement. She wants the future aunt of our Lu family, so we will give her." The little maid cried with snot and tears.

"Our Lu family is just a merchant family, so we can't compete with their Minister of Revenue. The people should not fight against the officials. We really know this time."

These words successfully attracted the attention of the people present.

"Is the Miss Han you are talking about the daughter of the Minister of Revenue?"

"Fiancé, what fiancé?"

Everyone instantly shifted their attention from the mother and son to the maid.

Since ancient times, scandals have been the easiest to attract everyone's attention.

"It's Han Peiwen, the third daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." The maid directly called out Han Peiwen's name.

Han Peiwen, who was drinking tea, suddenly changed her expression.

How dare the Lu family!

How dare they drag her in?

"My young lady has a fiancé. He drove my young lady back home yesterday. I'm sure the neighbors saw it." The maid looked at the shop owners and waiters in the surrounding shops.

Everyone nodded quickly.

The car that Chen Youlin drove over yesterday was the latest model, and it attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as it appeared.

So they were deeply impressed by what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday, when the aunt who had not come sent the young lady home, Miss Han came to our house and asked our young lady to give the aunt up, otherwise she would make us suffer. We never thought that she would attack the rice shop." The maid cried even harder.

"This is too shameless. You want to snatch someone else's fiancé, especially since she is a daughter of an official. You are worse than ordinary people like us."

"That's right."

The onlookers began to criticize Han Peiwen.

Not far away, Han Peiwen almost fainted.

How dare these bastards!

"Go and ask that idiot to refute him. We can't let this basin of dirty water splash on me." Han Peiwen pinched the maid Sheng'er beside her hard.

Sheng'er cried out in pain and quickly replied "yes".

The man who was hired by Han Peiwen to slander the Lu family was stunned. Why was this different from what he had expected? When they were acting, they didn't say that such a thing would happen.

Seeing someone coming to remind him, he loudly denied: "What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Han and I don't even know each other. Don't change the subject. Let's solve the issue of selling poisoned rice first."

Sheng'er also joined the crowd and shouted, "That's right, don't change the subject and slander Miss Han. She is a rich lady, how could she compete with a merchant's daughter like you for a man?"

Lu Linlang was waiting for this moment. With just a glance from her, the guards rushed over to catch the man.

Everyone was shocked by the scene.

"What are you doing? Let me go. Are you going to rape me in broad daylight?" Sheng'er struggled.

"You are Han Peiwen's maid, so you should speak for her. We will find out in court whether this person was brought by your young lady." Lu Linlang walked up to her.

Hearing that they were going to court, the maid was terrified and she subconsciously looked in the direction of her mistress.

Lu Linlang also looked over, and Han Peiwen saw her face clearly.

For a moment, her face turned pale with fear.

How did the Seventh Princess get involved in this matter?

"Han Peiwen, aren't you coming to take your maid away?" Lu Linlang asked loudly.

Everyone looked at Han Peiwen.

She stood up in a panic, turned around and walked upstairs, not wanting to admit her identity.

"My goodness, was it really Miss Han who did it?" The people started discussing passionately.

"No, this matter has nothing to do with my young lady. Don't slander my young lady." Sheng'er defended her young lady at the top of her lungs.

"Whether it is true or not, the truth will be revealed in court. Please follow and be a witness." Lu Linlang bowed to everyone.

"Okay, let's go and take a look together."

The man who had slandered them was so frightened when he heard that he was going to go to court that he ran away.

But how could Lu Linlang give him a chance to leave? She directly ordered the guards to stop him, tie him up, and take him to the yamen.

Han Peiwen was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold. She looked at the backs of Lu Linlang and others as they left, and couldn't understand why the Seventh Princess was involved in this matter.

He didn't have time to think about it. After Lu Linlang and others left, he hurried back home, wanting to collude with his aunt to create the illusion that he had stayed at home all the time.

But I never expected that as soon as I got home, I was called over by my father.

"You evil girl, what good thing have you done to make the emperor angry with me and kick me out of the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?" Han Zhangzhi slapped her hard.

Han Peiwen's head was buzzing from the beating.

It took her a long while to come back to her senses.

"Daddy, I don't know."

"How could you not know? The emperor has clearly said that I should devote some of my attention to raising our children, especially you. What on earth did you do to make the emperor remember it? He made me make sure to teach you well." Han Zhangzhi pointed his finger at her nose and cursed.

Han Peiwen was completely dumbfounded. She had never expected that she would be singled out for criticism by the emperor.

Her future is over; no one will be willing to marry her.

Before she could recover from the shock, people from the government office came to her house again.

"A case of poisoning involves the third daughter of your family. We would like to trouble your third daughter to go to the government office with us."

Han Zhangzhi almost fainted from anger.

My daughter is actually involved in this case?

"My daughter is sick and cannot go to court. Just let the housekeeper go." No matter what the truth is, Han Zhangzhi would never let his daughter go to court.

If he went, the Han family's reputation would be completely ruined.

"Sir, please don't embarrass us." The leading yamen runner looked helpless. "This matter is supervised by the Seventh Princess herself, and Miss Han must be present."

"Why is the Seventh Princess involved?" Han Zhang was stunned. After a moment he had to agree to this request and let Han Peiwen go with him.

As everyone knows, the Crown Princess is not to be messed with, but the Seventh Princess is also not to be messed with.

Her biological mother, Concubine Min, was very favored, and her maternal family was the richest merchant family in Daxia, and they were literally the emperor's money bag.

For the sake of the An family, the emperor will favor the seventh princess more.

Now he can't stand the Seventh Princess complaining again.

"No, this has nothing to do with me. I won't go." Han Peiwen turned around and stepped back after hearing this.

"Your maid has been brought to court. Today you must give an explanation to the Seventh Princess." Han Zhangzhi was not used to her, so he directly found a servant, restrained her, and sent her to the yamen.

When she arrived at the yamen, Han Peiwen saw Chen Youlin and Lu Linlang standing side by side. The question that had been puzzling her mind was finally answered at this moment.

There is no such thing as Miss Lu Qi. Miss Lu Qi is the Seventh Princess.

Han Peiwen's face turned pale when she thought of the harsh words she had said.

On the other hand, the man could not stand the intimidation and told the truth that he had accepted money to slander Lu Ji Rice Shop.

Although the maid Sheng'er kept saying that the matter had nothing to do with them, it was of no use.

Han Peiwen stood there in a trance, listening to the questions from the adults in the hall without saying a word.

"Miss, don't embarrass the Han family." The servant lowered her voice and handed a dagger to her.

Han Peiwen understood the hidden meaning of her words and nodded with tears in her eyes.

She took a deep breath and shouted out loud.

"I have never instructed anyone to slander Lu's Rice Shop. I have a clear conscience. If you insist that I plead guilty, I will die to prove my innocence."

After saying that, he stabbed the dagger into his own abdomen.

But she miscalculated.

Chen Youlin reached out and knocked her dagger away.

She and Lu Linlang both looked at him in surprise.

"Don't think that you can escape everything by dying. The evidence is conclusive. There is no point in doing this." Chen Youlin said with a cold face.

The courage that she had accumulated before disappeared completely, Han Peiwen's legs went limp, and she fell to her knees on the ground.

She doesn't want to die.

"I admit it. I admit it all."

She muttered to herself.

The truth came to light, the reputation of Lu Ji Rice Shop was restored, and Han Peiwen was thrown into jail.

After leaving the government office, Lu Linlang looked at Chen Youlin with a mixture of curiosity and admiration: "I didn't expect you knew martial arts."

"Otherwise, how could my parents feel at ease letting me take over the overseas business at the age of fourteen. I started learning martial arts from a young age with a master from the Huang family, the number one martial arts family in Lingnan." Chen Youlin smiled slightly.

"So that's how it is." Lu Linlang suddenly realized.

…

After Lu Linlang returned to the palace, she asked her father to grant her a marriage.

Lu Yanshi agreed.

Half a year later, Lu Linlang and Chen Youlin got married, and after marriage they ran a business together.

With the support of both families, their business grew bigger and bigger.

Lu Linlang also became the richest among the sisters.

Fifty years later, Lu Linlang successfully replaced his maternal family and became the richest businessman in Daxia.

Most of the money she earned in her life was invested in various research and development projects in Daxia, making outstanding contributions to the technological development of Daxia.

She only gives money and does not interfere with other people's research and development. All scientific researchers in Daxia respect her very much.

On the day she died, all the scientific researchers came spontaneously to attend her funeral.

Because of her selfless dedication, the status of Daxia merchants has been improved and they are no longer looked down upon as before.

Merchants who had cooperated with her industries also spontaneously attended her funeral.

Lu Linlang's name is firmly recorded in history books.

Thousands of years later, everyone knows that there was such a talented businesswoman in history.

Everyone remembered her name, Lu Linlang, rather than simply Princess Daxia.
