Tianliangyuan

Chapter 18 was criticized again.

Madam Xu rolled her eyes. This daughter of hers is already this age, yet she still has a love-struck mind. When will she ever amount to anything?

"We must demand an explanation from the Sun family regarding this matter. However, right now, we need to think about how to salvage Lin'er's reputation. We can't let her alone drag down all the women of the Xu family!"

The old lady was afraid that Wang Ruolan wouldn't do her best, so she had to mention the Xu family girl.

Wang Ruolan guessed her intention, but she was not angry. Even if the old lady didn't say anything, she still had to consider her child.

"Mother, the only way forward right now is to start with those managers."

"what do you mean?"

Wang Ruolan then looked at Xu Lin: "I heard that the shopkeeper and the accountant are both servants of the Sun family, and that they were replaced a few years ago?"

Xu Lin was stumped by the question, glanced guiltily at her mother, and nodded, "Yes. The earliest one was probably replaced ten years ago. It was because the previous person made a mistake that I got rid of him."

The old lady was so angry that she pounded the bed again, exclaiming, "How could I have given birth to such a brainless child!"

"How foolish! How can you let the Sun family touch your own dowry? Are you trying to make your dowry go to waste?"

This statement is a direct accusation that the Sun family is trying to steal Xu Lin's dowry!

Xu Lin hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the problem, and said weakly, "It's not that serious, is it?"

Wang Ruolan snorted coldly: "Xu Lin, I'm not trying to criticize you, but who knows how much money the Sun family has embezzled from your businesses over the years. Fine, you're family anyway, whether you two argue or make up behind closed doors is none of our business. But one thing is certain: now that you've damaged the reputation of the Xu family, that's your biggest mistake!"

Even in front of the old lady, Wang Ruolan showed no respect whatsoever.

Why should this sister-in-law, who caused trouble for her daughter one day, suddenly have to clean up her mess the next?

snort!

Even if we have to make a decision for her, we have to let her go back and cause trouble for the Sun family.

If anyone dares to make her daughter unhappy, then no one in their family will have a peaceful life!

The rumors spread like wildfire, and soon someone inadvertently revealed the Sun family's wealth and that the managers in charge of Xu Lin's businesses were actually servants of the Sun family. This was quite interesting!

Compared to the disgusting things done by the shops under the Sun family's name, the matter of Sun Qingyang secretly seizing his wife's dowry is more likely to be gossiped about by the common people, and it is also more likely to further enhance the Sun family's disgusting reputation!

Within two days, Xu Lin's reputation was cleared.

Not only was he exonerated, but he also gained a lot of sympathy.

Many ladies from prominent families were secretly thinking that Xu Lin was really pitiful!

She was married into the Sun family with a grand wedding procession, but the Sun family was unethical and dared to secretly steal Xu Lin's dowry.

Such families would never dare to let their daughters marry into them.

These rumors initially circulated only among ordinary people, but then spread to some women. By the time Sun Qingyang realized something was wrong, it was too late.

He was impeached again by the censor!

A family with a bad family tradition!

As a government official, failing to cultivate one's moral character and manage one's family is a matter of character.

As a result, Sun Qingyang was once again suspended from his post.

Sun Qingyang was suspended from his post for one month.

The news confirmed that the Sun family had secretly seized Xu Lin's dowry.

Now, even more people sympathize with Xu Lin and secretly laugh at her.

Sun Qingyang was despised by his colleagues, who felt that working with such a scheming and ruthless person was a disgrace to civility!

This time, even Sun Huaizhi, who was in the academy, was affected.

But since Xu Lin was his mother, there weren't many people who secretly mocked him.

However, the Sun family's reputation is truly shattered, and it won't be easy to piece it back together.

Just as Sun Qingyang was in a fit of impotent rage, the steward cautiously reported, "The Marquis of Anyang has arrived with several members of the Xu clan, saying they are here to seek justice for the lady."

boom!

Enraged, Sun Qingyang smashed the inkstone beside him. Did they really think his Sun family was easy to bully?

Xu Lin never expected that her brother would bring several elders with him, and that he would even help her take stock of her dowry so that he could make decisions for her.

If it were someone with a brain, they might actually do as Xu Han says, since her family is backing her up, and she will only have more confidence in her husband's family in the future.

But what can you do when Xu Lin's brain is full of bubbles?

She actually spoke up for the Sun family directly.

Xu Han's lips twitched as he listened. If it weren't for the fact that this was the Sun family's residence, he would have slapped him across the face long ago.

This younger sister is no good; she's not only vicious, but most importantly, she's incredibly stupid!

"Have you thought this through? I brought several uncles and elders here specifically to stand up for you. Rumors are circulating that your dowry was secretly seized by the Sun family. Are you really not going to let us help you investigate?"

Xu Lin glanced at Sun Qingyang beside her and said firmly, "Really, there's no need. It's just some rumors outside. Besides, I've been raising two children all these years, so it's normal to use some of my dowry."

These words effectively blocked the path.

In other words, even if Xu Han finds out that the dowry doesn't match up, it doesn't prove that the Sun family spent it!

It's perfectly normal for a mother to spend money on her children.

Seeing that she was determined to side with the Sun family, Xu Han's initial intention to stand up for her faded.

That's enough. This trip was just to intimidate the Sun family.

Since Xu Lin herself doesn't feel like she's at a disadvantage, there's no point in him, as her older brother, saying anything more.

Besides, Xu Lin is now a member of the Sun family, so even if I am from her own family, I can't interfere too much.

"Fine, think it through yourself. But I still have to remind you, no matter who is in charge of that shop or where the money goes, you must understand the danger of this. There must not be a next time."

"Yes, brother, I remember it all. It was just that the manager was greedy and cunning. Now that the government has dealt with him, I will definitely pay more attention to both the shops and the land in the future."

Xu Han thought this made sense, so he didn't linger any longer.

However, the relatives who came with them all looked disappointed.

As expected of girls, she was very outgoing. She was clearly there to give her face, but Xu Lin just didn't appreciate it.

In ordinary families, the bride might be teased or harassed after her family leaves, but Xu Lin is different; she is the Marquis's own sister.

As long as the Marquis of Anxin's mansion stands, who would dare to bully Xu Lin!

It's baffling what Xu Lin is trying to gain by lowering herself to the Sun family.

Xu Lin may seem to have the highest status in the Sun family, but in reality, her mother-in-law and husband have often coaxed her into spending money.

She simply didn't realize it.

Many people called Xu Lin a fool, but unfortunately, she couldn't hear them!
