However, Old Madam Chen refused to give up and shouted at the top of her lungs.

“Just breaking off the engagement is not enough! You have to return all the betrothal gifts we gave to your family during the engagement ceremony! Not only that, your family has to compensate my son with 10 taels of silver! Otherwise, your entire family can forget about living well!”

Old Madam Chen’s words touched Lin Xiujuan’s two bottom lines at the same time.

Her daughter and her money.

Why would Lin Xiujuan be willing to do as she said? Her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Old Madam Chen, don’t take advantage of me! You’re slandering my daughter’s innocence and want my family to compensate you. Don’t even think about it! Your family regretted this marriage. You can forget about taking back any of the betrothal gifts given during the engagement ceremony back then.”

Although Lin Xiujuan scolded her fiercely, she was actually extremely anxious. Her daughter had not returned for the entire night, so something must have happened.

However, she would never believe that her daughter had gone to the county city to find a man!

She knew her own daughter very well. As a mother, she knew how much Liu Yuanyuan liked Chen Dakun and how important this marriage was to her.

How could her daughter go out and find a man!

Old Madam Chen snorted and pressed on. “Your daughter is a little b*tch. She didn’t come back for the entire night and still wants to be innocent? Pfft!”

Zhang Lan endured the waves of dizziness in her head and stood up. She looked at Old Madam Chen and said in an unfriendly tone, “Madam Chen, you keep saying words that destroy a young lady’s innocence. Do you have any evidence?

Without evidence, it’s slander. We can report it to the officials!”

At the thought that her daughter had not returned for the entire night, Zhang Lan’s heart was in turmoil. Now that the Chen family had slandered the Liu family’s daughter’s innocence, her daughter’s innocence was naturally gone as well.

Old Madam Chen was fearless. “Report to the officials? Alright, let’s report to the officials. Who’s afraid of who! Let me tell vou. someone in our village saw it with his own eyes. This is the evidence.”

“If you still don’t believe me, then we’ll all wait here. When the Liu family’s girl comes back, let us all see what the adulterous couple looks like!”

Lin Xiujuan cursed and rushed forward, wanting to tear Old Madam Chen apart.

They were about to fight again.

Chen Dakun came out at the right time and grabbed his mother.

He looked very polite. He first bowed to Lin Xiujuan and Liu Liangcai before saying, “Uncle, Aunt, our families have a marriage arrangement. It’s supposed to be a harmonious matter. There’s no need to make things so ugly.”

“Since Yuanyuan has someone she likes, I won’t force her into an unhappy marriage. Let’s forget about this marriage. As for the betrothal gifts given during the engagement ceremony, it’s fine if you don’t want to return it. After all, I’m not fated to be with Yuanyuan. Consider it as my blessing to her.”

Chen Dakun’s every move was polite, and his words were appropriate. No one could find any fault with him.

However, he blamed the annulment all on Liu Yuanyuan while he was innocent and upright.

Even Lin Xiujuan felt that she would be in the wrong to flare up. She was so angry that her mind was blank.

The surrounding people could not help but praise Chen Dakun for being magnanimous.

“As expected of a student studying under the might of the Emperor. Look at the attitude that he has.”

“That’s right. This is his fiancée, yet to be his wife and yet she has already caused such a scandal. Who can stand it? Child Scholar Chen actually disregarded the past and is willing to give her his blessings. He’s really magnanimous.”

The more they praised Chen Dakun, the more Liu Yuanyuan’s reputation would be ruined.

Just as the Chen mother and son had the upper hand, a horse carriage drove over.

Immediately after, someone shouted, “Hey, look, isn’t it the Liu family’s daughter and the Zhou family’s daughter who got out of the carriage?”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, they saw Zhou Xiaoli and Liu Yuanyuan alighting from the carriage one after another.

“Ah, why is there an official!”

Seeing that there were actually two bailiffs accompanying them, everyone was stunned.

Lin Xiujuan and Zhang Lan were also stunned. They were a little afraid of these two officials.

However, their concern for their daughters won. In the end, they rushed over and grabbed their own daughter.

First, they checked to see if their daughter was injured. Then, they expressed their concern for them.

“How worrisome. I was so worried. Where did you go? Did you encounter danger?”

“Why did you come back with the official? Did something happen?” The others pricked up their ears in curiosity.

On the other hand, Chen Dakun’s eyes widened as he felt uneasy.

Something’s not right. According to his plan, the only person who would come back would be Liu Yuanyuan, who was in a mess and had lost her virginity.

Why was Zhou Xiaoli back?

Shouldn’t she be sold?

He felt even more uneasy looking at the two bailiffs who sent them back.

Indeed, in the next second, a cold gaze landed on him.

Then, Zhou Xiaoli pointed at him and said, “Officer, he’s the one who colluded with the human traffickers and led us to the alley. He knocked us out and kidnapped us!”

Hearing Zhou Xiaoli’s words, everyone was shocked and looked at Chen Dakun in disbelief.

When Lin Xiujuan and Zhang Lan heard that they had been kidnapped by human traffickers, they were so frightened that they almost lost their minds. Their hands which were holding on to their daughter trembled.

Then, they heard that their daughter had been betrayed by Chen Dakun. They immediately glared fiercely at Chen Dakun and rushed over like a madman, wanting to hit him.

“Chen Dakun! You’re so vicious. You’re a scholar. Where have your years of education gone?”

“You don’t want to marry my daughter, so you set up such a vicious scheme to harm my daughter. You’re really vicious. I’ll fight you to my death!”

Seeing that Zhang Lan and Lin Xiujuan were about to hit her precious son, Old Madam Chen was immediately unwilling. She stood in front of her son and shouted, “Bullsh*t, don’t wrong my son. My son is a student studying under the might of the Emperor!”

“Bah!”

When she thought about how her precious daughter had almost been sold to human traffickers, Zhang Lan gritted her teeth in hatred. She wished she could skin him alive.

She spat at Old Madam Chen. “Don’t say that he’s a student studying under the might of the Emperor, that’s an insult to the true students!”

Chen Dakun was panicking, but he was also hoping that Zhou Xiaoli and Liu Yuanyuan did not have any evidence.

Hence, he straightened his neck and said, “Don’t accuse me. Do you have evidence?”

Old Madam Chen also raised her head. “That’s right! Do you have evidence?” Zhou Xiaoli laughed. “Four human traffickers have already been arrested and they have confessed who their boss is. He’s probably arrested by now. Chen Dakun, do you think they won’t give you up?

As soon as her words left her lips,

The two bailiffs stepped forward to tie Chen Dakun up.

Old Madam Chen was anxious to protect her son and stopped them from arresting him. In the end, the bailiff pulled out his saber and she was so frightened by it that she collapsed to the ground.

In the end, the bailiffs tied Chen Dakun up as he howled.

The county magistrate had sent two bailiffs to send Zhou Xiaoli back and to arrest Chen Dakun. Now that they had completed their tasks, the two of them were about to leave.

Zhou Yu and Liu Liangcai thanked the two officers and sent them away. Old Madam Chen was still sitting on the ground, crying her eyes out as she watched her son being taken away.

The surrounding villagers sighed.

“You can’t judge a book by its cover. I didn’t expect the refined Child Scholar Chen to be such a person.”

At this moment, someone who understood the education system sneered. “Child Scholar? Chen Dakun has committed a huge crime of kidnapping people.. I’m afraid that with his title of Child Scholar gone, it will be difficult for him to take the Imperial Examination in the future!”
