Lin Yun, dressed in official robes, coldly looked at Cao Jinfang and the people from the second branch of the Han family.
"Good heavens, the master is here. Let's have him examine it."
"Yes, this family's affairs are in such a mess, please help resolve them quickly."
Lin Yun didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the main seat, looking directly at Cao Jinfang.
"Do you know your mistake? You spread rumors and slandered that girl's reputation. Do you know your mistake?"
“Sir, you can’t say that. That child has received favors from her family. Who knows if they taught the child to lie and frame my grandson?”
Lin Yun gave her a cold look. This woman had high cheekbones, triangular eyes, and thin lips, and looked like a sharp-tongued and mean person.
"Hmph, he's just a five-year-old child. How could he know so much? How could he describe those things if he hadn't seen them with his own eyes?"
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this, realizing that this magistrate was indeed extraordinary, having solved the case so quickly.
"Grandma Cao, you're crying wolf! How amusing! You've even managed to make Yu'an stupid. Your family is truly vicious."
"That's right, I think it's your family that should be kicked out of the village, isn't it?"
The wind suddenly changed direction, which was not what Cao Jinfang wanted to see, but she felt a sharp pain in her lower body, and then she couldn't control her bowel movements.
"My goodness, Granny Cao, you're so scared you actually peed your pants?"
Cao Jinfang felt numbness in her lower body and looked at Cui Yulu with a terrified expression.
"Did you do something to me again? You're a witch! Untie me now, or you'll regret it."
Cui Yulu merely glanced at her disdainfully before covering her nose and saying, "I told you long ago that you needed to get treatment for your illness as soon as possible, but you wouldn't listen. Now there's nothing I can do. Good luck to you."
"What? You're the one who cursed me! It must be you! You're a witch! Sooner or later, this village will be destroyed by you!"
Lin Yun couldn't stand it anymore; it was too smelly. She gave a look to the servants she had brought with her.
“Take these people who spread rumors and cause trouble away for a thorough investigation.”
"My lord, please don't! My grandson is going to take the imperial examination. If he doesn't go to jail, it will affect his career. Please, have mercy and don't take him away."
Lin Yun ignored Cao Jinfang and directly ordered the slaves to take away Han An, Han Quan, and Zhao Guifang.
"Sir, this woman is also a master of spreading rumors. Take her away with you."
Cui Yulu pointed at Han Jinling, who trembled in fright and quickly knelt down to kowtow.
"My lord, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please don't take me away."
Lin Yun originally came to feed the horses, but the young master had instructed her to protect Miss Cui and to do whatever she said. So she had Han Jinling taken away as well.
Seeing this, the women watching quickly shut their mouths and quietly left in small groups, afraid that they would be implicated next.
"Cui Yulu, you will die a horrible death! You ruined my grandson, I'll never let you get away with this!"
Cao Jinfang was dragged out, still cursing all the while.
"Woman, if you keep swearing, don't blame me for having someone slap you."
As soon as Lin Yun finished speaking, Cao Jinfang fell silent, staring intently at Cui Yulu until she disappeared outside the courtyard.
The farce finally ended with the arrest of the second branch of the Han family, and the courtyard finally quieted down.
Lin Yun finally had the opportunity to feed the horses.
"This humble citizen thanks Your Honor for clearing my family's name."
Liu Xiuying was about to kneel down before him when he stopped her.
"Old man, there's no need for such formalities. To be honest, I'm just repaying Miss Cui's kindness."
"And who are you?"
"Don't worry, old man, I can handle this. We're not lying."
Lin Yun was thinking about the chestnut horse. After comforting the old man, she hurriedly went to the backyard.
"Yu Lu, you should go and take a look. Don't neglect them, after all, they've helped us a lot."
As for Tiger, she will naturally thank the child properly.
"Grandma, don't worry, it's all over. I'll go check on things right away."
After comforting her grandmother, Cui Yulu prepared to get up and go to the backyard to see if Lin Yun's visit was because Fu Xiaoyu had something to do with her.
"You didn't come here just to feed the horses, did you? Tell me, what does your master want to tell you?"
"Nothing much, I just came to feed the horses and happened to run into your situation, so I was just helping out."
Looking at Lin Yun, whose face was slightly flushed, Cui Yulu recalled that when Lü Silong made things difficult for her at the market last time, it was Lin Yun who stepped in to help. This time, it was Lin Yun who stepped in to help again. Could it be that he had been spying on her all along?
"You haven't been spying on me all this time, have you?"
Cui Yulu asked what was on her mind, and Lin Yun's hand trembled slightly as she fed the horse, but she quickly recovered.
"You're joking, young lady. I really just came to feed the horses."
"There's still plenty of feed left on the horse, so there's no need for you, the head steward, to feed it yourself. Just tell the truth."
Lin Yun hadn't expected this little girl to be so shrewd.
He didn't want to take on this mission in the first place, but it was all the young master's fault for insisting that he come.
Han Yu'an's face darkened the moment Lin Yun appeared; he still couldn't protect her.
He recalled Fu Xiaoyu's words from that night and felt angry again.
Unable to resist Cui Yulu's persistent pleading, Lin Yun finally told the truth.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, alright?"
So Lin Yun told her all the worries and concerns Fu Xiaoyu had about her.
