967 Prices
In just half a day, the rumors about the Minister of revenue and Duke zhengguo’s mansion in the capital immediately had a big reversal.
The Duke zhengguo’s Manor’s legitimate son had been inexplicably bestowed marriage by the Emperor to the notorious Minister of revenue’s eldest daughter, Zeng Yanli. It was already very pitiful.
They didn’t expect that when the Zeng family’s eldest miss was about to get married, she would be caught in bed with another man. And the person who caught her was the matriarch of Duke zhengguo’s mansion.
It was said that after Duke zhengguo’s Madam saw this, she fainted on the spot.
In this case, Duke zhengguo’s mansion was even more pitiful.
However, the situation had taken a turn.
The Minister of revenue actually went directly to Duke zhengguo’s mansion and even made a fuss in front of the Emperor.
What was the reason?
What was the truth?
Some busybodies immediately learned the so-called truth from the servants of the two families.
The fact was that the Zeng family’s eldest daughter had been caught red-handed in public because someone had set her up.
And the person who set her up was none other than her future mother-in-law, the head lady of the Zhengguo manor, Wen Yujing!
Once this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the noble ladies in the capital.
No one dared to believe such a fact.
However, the two families had already made a scene in front of the Emperor and the Empress.
However, they didn’t know how the matter would be handled.
However, everyone knew that the marriage was still going on as planned.
This immediately attracted the ridicule of the upper-class circle.
Zeng Yanli had indeed been caught in the act of adultery, but she still married the second son of Duke zhenguo’s mansion, Jiang Zhenye.
The cuckold on Jiang zhenyan’s head was really well-made.
Some of them looked at Wen Yujing’s angry and ugly face and immediately sneered. “If you knew this would happen, why did you do it then?”
Of course, these people still congratulated the two families with a smile.

Guo Bing was the first to receive the news.
The more curious he was, the more confused he became. How did Lin yuelan find evidence of Wen Yujing’s scheme against Zeng Yanli in such a short time? And how did she make the people of the Zeng Manor complain to the Empress?
Guo Bing’s curiosity was piqued.
“Miss Lin, please tell me, ” he said, licking his lips. “What evidence did you give to the Zeng family? In front of His Majesty and the Empress, Wen Yujing will have no power to refute.”
Lin yuelan raised her eyebrows and smiled mysteriously as usual. “do you really want to know? ” she asked.
Guo Bing immediately nodded and said, ” yes, yes, I really want to know. Miss Lin, please be merciful and tell me!”
When Guo Bing pestered Lin yuelan and insisted on getting to the bottom of it, Liu Yichen was as curious and puzzled as Guo Bing. How did Lin yuelan do it?
From the time Wen Yujing caught them in the act of adultery to the time she reported to Empress Dowager, the Zeng family had also asked for justice in front of the Empress. At the same time, the matter had also alarmed the Emperor.
The time difference between them could be said to be zero.
Liu Yichen immediately said, ” sister, I also want to know the truth about the Zeng family.”
As he spoke, his eyes swept over Jiang Zhennan slightly. He looked at him as if he did not have such doubts and curiosity at all, causing a glimmer of light to flash in his eyes.
There must be some secret between them.
As for what the secret was, he still had to investigate!
Lin yuelan said to the two of them, ” you’re all very curious, aren’t you? ”
As she spoke, she pointed to the buckets of fermented feces by the wall in the direction of the toilet and said, ” that’s good. As long as you pour these into the fields, it will be fine. After this, I’ll answer your questions. How about it?”
When the two of them heard this, their faces paled.
The feces were dirty and smelly. They were used to being pampered since they were young, so how could they touch these dirty things?
The two of them shook their heads at the same time.
Guo Bing immediately negotiated, “Miss Lin, can we change to another condition? For example, weeding or plowing the land. Is that okay?”
Back in the Lin family village, Guo Bing did help with the fertilizer, but they were only ashes of dried grass. They were dirty, but they didn’t smell bad. He could still accept the stinky bugs.
