The Lord Liu laughed, the heavens were helping him, he had initially thought that if he could wait until the day his position in Qingyuan County disappeared, there was no possibility of promotion, so the heavens sent him a good thing, he waved Sun Gui's hand to keep him company, "Go with me to county office, draw out this good thing and clearly write it out. I want to send an urgent report to the capital, if it is adopted, it will benefit the people of the world!"
"This …" The Old Man Sun immediately tried to refute his words, but how could Liu Jiqing possibly listen to his instructions? He left without saying a word, and the only thing he could do was to follow behind him. Once he reached the county office, he would be able to draw a clear picture of the principle behind the wheel.
Jiaoniang did not know about these things, she was still on her way home, wondering about the progress of the sauce at home, and whether Tieh Dan had studied properly. When he got home, everything was as usual, and the icehouse was already dug and ready for reinforcement.
Lin Family Village was a large village, and the village chief took over the responsibility of being the village chief. Previously, because of the conflict between Lin Lanzhi and his subordinate, he had also intervened quite a bit. However, after Jiaoniang punished Lin Lanzhi and gave the tofu recipe to his family, he couldn't tell what was wrong with Jiaoniang no matter how hard he tried.
As the leader of the clan, she had to think about the big matters of the clan. There were a few respected elders in the village who disliked Jiaoniang, and as a woman, she would appear outside all day, with no name, and yet she walked so close to Ye Xuan. Everyone was afraid that Ye Xuan would be angry, but they did not dare say anything.
But the Patriarch was not a person who couldn't understand, how could Jiaoniang allow himself to be squashed like usual? The great young master of Wu Family went to Jiaoniang's house every two to three days, and the rich people of the village also received great rewards because of Jiaoniang's road, furthermore, Jiaoniang even gave money to the village to repair the road.
The family head naturally refused those unreasonable requests, but for some reason, for the past few days, his youngest son, who was spoiled by his mother, had asked him to heal the village's gossip time and time again.
There were a lot of people in the village, I already knew about everything in half a day, and the most noisy thing in the village recently wasn't Bai Ling's matter? It was unknown where the news came from, but it said that she had caused Wang Lao'er's death and was planning to pay the bill and escape. "If you have nothing better to do, then go and help your big brother pick the water to water the land. Don't be like a long-tongued woman and talk to those girls all day."
Wang Lao'er is from our village, right? The children that he left behind are naturally my village's boys as well. Now that others criticize him like this, what will he think when he grows up? In my opinion, the villagers are too idle, they are so tired from watering that they can't even control their own mouths.
Lin Kang had been weak since childhood, and his father was also the clan leader. His family members doted on him so much that their hearts hurt, but when he grew up, he developed a unruly and unruly personality. The village chief took his words as him being soft-hearted and a woman being criticized. However, he was not the one in charge of this.
"Why didn't you go to the academy?"
"The teachers from the county academy are not here. They're on vacation."
"Then why don't you just go to the back courtyard and read the books, don't bother with these perverted things, if you don't take the exam this year, come back and see if I'll break your legs!"
The patriarch picked up a wooden stick and went to hit him, Lin Kang bounced and left, "Why did you hit me when it's warm!"
Just as he walked out of the living room, Lin Kang's expression became fierce, with a kick, he kicked the errand boy that his father bought for him to the ground, "Quickly go and see if Cuilian is home or not!"
The errand boy hurriedly got up and ran back to the village without even patting the dust off his face.
Lin Kang frowned, the rumors and rumors that she had spread these past few days were actually a little closer to the truth. That Bai Ling had indeed come from Jiangnan, but she was not some slut, and marrying Wang Lao'er was also because of Wang Lao'er's pressure. Wang Lao'er was even older than her father, so how could a young girl marry him?
Moreover, it was very likely that Bai Ling's child was Lin Kang's and not his. Originally, he thought that after everyone had forgotten about the matter, he would marry Bai Ling and make her his concubine. However, this matter of life and death was seen by Cuilian and if Cuilian made everyone know about this, he would definitely make her unable to bear the consequences.
However, ever since Cuilian and Jiaoniang had played together, Cuilian went home and cried that she did not have the face to stay at the Lin Family Village, causing her parents to be extremely worried. A good lady was at the age where she was waiting to be married off, and if news of this were to spread, she would definitely not be able to find a good family, and could only send her child to stay at her aunt's house.
When Lin Kang's errand boy went to investigate, he found that Cuilian's home was completely empty and both his parents were busy working in the fields. He heard from the old man next door that Cuilian had long been sent to his relatives' house by his parents. Lin Kang was also suspicious after hearing this, this Cuilian had long been scared witless by him. Furthermore, his father was the Patriarch, even if she saw him, she would still hesitate to write him down.
Then who said it?
Two days later, the news came from who knows where. Everyone said that the reason it did not rain was because Wang Lao'er was dead, so Wang Lao'er and Lord Dragon King were brothers. The ghost and immortal duo ate and drank in the Dragon Palace, but one day, as Wang Lao'er was eating, he suddenly cried out and Lord Dragon King immediately asked them why, and Wang Lao'er told them his grievances in the human world. The Dragon King was furious, the sky would not rain. This was a god's fault to the world!
The city wall and that crazy fortune-teller ran around the streets, telling the evil story to everyone. People were always superstitious, and what they did today was unusual. Even those who didn't believe it would believe it two-tenths of the time after hearing the same story.
At that moment, everyone was anxious, they were afraid that Prince Long would be angry for too long, if he wasn't angry like the previous dynasty with just three years, he would be done for, and they hated Bai Ling for harming their benefactor, and even dared to harm Duke Long's brother, so they had never seen such a bad woman before.
Bai Ling inserted the door, and didn't dare to go out for three days. The outside of the door was filled with unclean things. In the past few days, someone had been standing outside her door cursing and swearing, before going to work in the fields. After finishing the work, they would return and continue swearing. Even the children in the village, who were half grown up, were making up nursery rhymes as they ran outside the door.
The weather was hot, and the foulness outside the door stank. Bai Ling had packed up all his belongings these few years and only wanted to escape the moment it became night.
Other people didn't know whether those rumors were real or fake, they only vented their anger and helplessness on her. Only Bai Ling himself knew that these rumors were not fake at all. Because of this, she taught her maid a lesson, but this maid was also bought by her later, so she didn't know anything about her past.
Just who was harming her?
