The implication is that Su Ruojin did this because she had little money.
The people around Su Ruojin looked at her with even more hostility, and there was a lot of gossip, mostly criticizing her for being too greedy.
Su Ruojin clapped her hands as if she had touched something unclean, and said coldly, "Help me? Mrs. Lin, I have no interest in your Lin family. Stop trying to make yourself look good. I just happened to be passing by and got bitten by a mad dog. What bad luck. Oh, no, it was a pack of mad dogs."
Her gaze slowly swept over everyone in the Lin family, her contempt evident in her eyes.
Cai Fanzhou stood with the Lin family, and Su Ruojin's glance naturally included him.
Cai Fanzhou had never been treated like this before, but this was, after all, a family matter of the Lin family. If he spoke up, wouldn't he become the "mad dog" in Su Ruojin's eyes?
For a moment, I felt a lump in my throat, but I couldn't let it out.
Lin Zhengshan was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand to hit Su Ruojin, but considering his status and the fact that it was in front of everyone, he could not bring himself to hit her, as it would damage his reputation. So he could only clench his fists.
Seeing that dragging on like this would not benefit the Lin family, Lin Wanqing quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zhengshan's hand: "Father, Master, the Regent is still waiting for us, let's go in quickly."
A single sentence instantly extricated the Lin family from their predicament and even elevated their status.
To be personally waited for by the Regent is an immense honor.
Cai Fanzhou naturally understood Lin Wanqing's meaning, and his eyebrows relaxed instantly. His disciple was indeed intelligent, unlike this ungrateful brat in front of him.
He turned to Lin Zhengshan and said, "Prefect Lin, let's go inside. Don't let irrelevant people affect important matters."
"Dr. Cai is right, let's go."
Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao had heard that Lin Wanqing and Cai Fanzhou had waited all day yesterday but had not seen the Regent, so they were a little worried. They came together today specifically to support Lin Wanqing.
No matter what, he was considered the local official of Yanyang, and the regent would have to give him some face.
"These days, it's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin; they don't appreciate kindness, and good deeds go unrewarded." Zhao Jiao glared fiercely at Su Ruojin, then, supported by Zhang Mama, turned and walked towards Juxianlou.
Lin Wanqing helped Cai Fanzhou walk over, glancing at Su Ruojin seemingly casually, without saying anything.
In her previous life, Lin Wanqing was 155 cm tall and weighed 155 kg, which often made her feel inferior.
After her rebirth, as she grew older, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she had grown into a beautiful young woman with a great figure, something she never dared to dream of in her previous life.
With such good looks and figure, coupled with her status as the legitimate daughter of a prefect and her 21st-century wisdom, she was confident that she could secure a lifetime of glory for herself in this life.
But when she met Su Ruojin, she realized that there was always someone better. This person, who had occupied her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Lin family for many years, was superior to her in both appearance and figure.
But so what? Lin Wanqing knew that in this fictional dynasty, in addition to appearance and figure, a woman's background and education were even more important.
No matter how beautiful Su Ruojin is, she's just a country girl. How can she compare to Su Ruojin, the legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank prefect?
Lin Wanqing is like the bright moon in the sky, while Su Ruojin, without the protection of the Lin family, is just a wildflower by the roadside, easily trampled into the mud and turned into a puddle of mud. How can she be compared to her?
Su Ruojin naturally saw the look Lin Wanqing gave her, a look that conveyed a sense of superiority, as if she were nothing but dust.
The coldness in Su Ruojin's eyes deepened; this Lin Wanqing was very cunning.
However, as long as she doesn't provoke her, Su Ruojin doesn't want to have anything to do with Lin Wanqing. From now on, she and the Lin family will go their separate ways.
As Cai Fanzhou and the Lin family were about to walk into Juxianlou, a commotion suddenly broke out among the crowd.
