When they heard that a woman was beating a few scholars, many people shook their heads.

"It is a misfortune for the family if a woman shows up in public."

Another person said: "I heard that a sister was beating up her brother who didn't know how to study and only knew how to fool around every day."

"Well done! He is so young but still doesn't learn well. His family gave him money to study, but he still doesn't want to study? The more sisters like him, the better."

Even the parents of the scholars who were beaten had no complaints when they heard about their sons being beaten.

"Good fight! You should have been beaten hard."

Anyone who urges children to read is a good person.

When she heard that her son was beaten by Li Jinglan outside, she still forced her son to write a policy paper.

Mrs. Li Wu was extremely distressed.

"Prepare the carriage! I want to see why Li Jinglan beat my son."

As soon as Li Wu walked to the front yard, she was caught by Li Chengyue.

"If you dare to step out of this door, don't come back. I can't afford to lose this person!"

Li Chengyue was dissatisfied with Li Jinglan.

But it’s true that Li Jinglan taught Li Pengxuan to read!

Li Chengyue still knows what is important and what is not.

Mrs. Li Wu was so angry that she was shaking all over: "He's my son. Why does a cheap girl like her have the right to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Chengyue slapped him.

"Open the gate and let her go!"

Li Chengyue already knew about Wu Fangfei's affairs at this time, and he was extremely angry when he thought about the suffering his daughter had suffered because of Wu Fangfei in the past few months.

"If you leave, never come back." Li Chengyue roared.

This was the first time Li Chengyue beat Li Wu after their marriage.

In the past, no matter how angry Li Chengyue was, he would at most smash the bench and never hit her.

Not only was she beaten today, but she was beaten in front of so many servants.

Mrs. Li Wu was both angry and ashamed.

With her hair ruffled, she was about to fight with Li Chengyue when a servant suddenly ran in from outside.

A look of panic on his face: "Master, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."

"How can you be so flustered?" Li Chengyue angrily scolded the servant.

"It was my eldest aunt... She, she took our master to the capital! She said she was going to take him to Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint."

"What?" Li Chengyue was shocked.

"Li Jinglan?" Li Wu screamed, "If she dares to touch my son, I will make Aunt Zhao pay with her life."

Li Jinglan brought more than just Li Pengxuan?

She brought all the members of Li Pengxuan's poetry club to the capital.

Li Pengxuan was tied up like a dumpling and thrown in the corner of the carriage.

The scholars in the poetry society were trembling and didn't even dare to cry.

Several carriages stopped in front of Jingzhao Prefecture.

The yamen runner at the door did not dare to neglect the report from Lu Bozhou and hurriedly reported to Yin Zhihai.

At this time, Yin Zhihai was meeting guests at home.

Sitting next to Yin Zhihai was an elegant middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Bozhou deeply and chuckled: "Jingzu's child has grown up so much."

"Uncle!" Lu Bozhou bowed deeply to the middle-aged man.

The uncle that Lu Bozhou mentioned is Yin Zhihai's brother-in-law, and also a member of the Jiangnan Lu family.

His surname is Lu and his courtesy name is Shenyan.

Lu Shenyan looked at Lu Bozhou with a flickering gaze.

The elopement of Lu Bozhou's father, Lu Jingzu, shocked the entire Lu family.

From then on, whenever the Lu family arranged marriages for their children, they would require them to have some contact with the girls to avoid scandals like elopement.

Involved by Lu Jingzu, his wife, who had not yet married him, came to the wedding holding a rooster.

Now he has adopted a son.

However, Lu Jingzu gave birth to three children in Nanli County, and they are so outstanding.

If Lu Bozhou brought his brothers and sisters back to the Lu family as the top scholar.

Lu Jingzu's branch must be headed by Lu Bozhou.

I'm afraid that the adopted son of Mrs. Lu will not have an easy life.

Lu Shenyan had met Lu Jingzu's wife and adopted son. His wife was a gentle and kind person, and his adopted son was smart and filial.

Thinking of these complicated relationships, Lu Shenyan sighed softly.

"You've suffered a lot over the years." Lu Shenyan mentioned the Lu family's small clan with a cold expression, "I will seek justice for you."

After hearing this, Lu Bozhou frowned.

Seek justice for me?

I have been abused for four years, and I have sent messages to Dazong before.

All of them fell into oblivion.

Now that I have won the imperial examination, I am no longer afraid of the Lu family.

Are you going to deal with the Lu clan now?

All my previous tolerance towards Lu Xuande's family was wiped out.

When Lu Bozhou was filled with resentment, the image of Li Jinglan suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Whatever.

For my wife's sake!

Lu Bozhou bowed again and said, "Xiao Zong has indeed done bad things in recent years, but the past is over, and this matter is over. As the saying goes, a harmonious family brings prosperity, and your nephew does not want to pursue it."

Yin Zhihai didn't expect that Lu Bozhou and Lu Shenyan would not get along at all when they met, and he regretted letting the uncle and nephew meet today.

Taking the opportunity to change the subject: "Bozhou is kind-hearted and has the spirit of the ancients."

At this time.

The servant came in with Lu Bozhou's film and whispered a few words in Yin Zhihai's ear.

"Is there such a thing?" Yin Zhihai was surprised and turned to look at Lu Bozhou. "Your wife led a few scholars to the government office to complain about her injustice and said she wanted to file a complaint."

Lu Shenyan was immediately displeased, "How can Madam Huiyuan go to court?"

She is indeed a country woman!

Lu Shenyan's first impression of Li Jinglan was extremely bad.

Yin Zhihai, who knew his temper well, held his forehead and sighed: "With your temper, it's no wonder you offended many people on the salt road."

"I'm loyal to my country, so why should I care about my life?" Lu Shenyan smiled coldly, "Besides, these scoundrels tried to rob me on the road, but they failed, didn't they?"

That’s because King Jin sent people to protect you.

Do you think that the time I mentioned you at the tea stall that day was for nothing?

The King of Jin said that day that Lu Shenyan was a man of good fortune.

That’s why you can reach the capital safely.

But these words could never be said to anyone, and Yin Zhihai was left with only regret.

We really shouldn’t have let Lu Shenyan and Lu Bozhou meet.

Sigh: "Let's go and take a look at the government office."

Yin Zhihai did not meet Li Jinglan in court.

Instead, he invited people to the backyard of the yamen.

Li Pengxuan and several other scholars had never been to the backyard of Jingzhao Prefecture, and they were trembling with fear.

When they saw Yin Zhihai and Lu Shenyan wearing official robes of the third and fourth rank respectively.

Several people were completely frightened and knelt in a row.

Li Jinglan bowed like a scallion, "I greet the prefect."

Yin Zhihai interrupted Li Jinglan kindly: "Today I know that our family and your family are relatives. From now on, just call me uncle."

You can call me uncle whatever you want.

The title of uncle is not something that can be used casually.

Li Jinglan glanced at Lu Bozhou who was standing next to her.

sure!

Conquered Yin Zhihai.

This is the call of uncle.

Yin Zhihai will always be in Lu Bozhou's pocket for the rest of his life and will never betray him.

But he smiled and saluted like a junior: "My nephew's wife greets my uncle."

Yin Zhihai pointed at Lu Shenyan again and said, "This is your cousin who is within the fifth degree of mourning!"

"I, your niece-in-law, greet my uncle." Li Jinglan raised her hands above her head and bowed.

Seeing this courtesy, Lu Shenyan's expression relaxed: "Get up."

Although she was a country woman, she knew the difference between inside and outside and knew the etiquette.

Li Jinglan then pointed at Li Pengxuan, who was tied up like a dumpling, and said, "A few days ago, I heard someone spread rumors that Bozhou cheated in the imperial examination, so I paid special attention to it."

Then he explained the whole story.

Li Jinglan has a clear voice and knows how to get to the point when speaking.

After listening to a few words, Lu Shenyan understood and became angry.

A scholar was repeatedly caught up in rumors of cheating in the imperial examinations.

As the saying goes, when the wind blows, the shadow moves.

If Lu Bozhou himself were a green pine tree, why would he be afraid of the winds from the southeast, northwest, and northeast?

It must be because one's own behavior is not upright that one is slandered.

"It is important to be strict in conduct. If you are not strict in conduct, you will be a bandit." Lu Shenyan snorted, "Why do scholars study? Of course, it is to cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country and bring peace to the world. Now you can't even cultivate yourself? How can you talk about governing the country?"

"Bozhou, kneel down facing south! Are you worthy of your ancestors?" Lu Shenyan shouted angrily.

Lu Bozhou couldn't help but clench his fists.

"You old woodcutter!" Yin Zhihai cursed Lu Shenyan in his heart. When he was about to speak up to negotiate, he saw Li Jinglan walk up to Lu Bozhou and kneel down next to him.

"It's all my wife's fault. It has nothing to do with Bozhou." Li Jinglan bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

"Bozhou has been in the capital for the past few days and doesn't know what happened in Nanli County. I was anxious at the moment, so I brought him to the capital."

"I didn't know my uncle and my uncle were here before, and I wanted to write a complaint to sue these people. Now that my uncle has scolded me, I have realized that I was not thoughtful enough."

Lu Shenyan turned sideways and didn't look at Li Jinglan.

You can only teach your son in class, but you can't teach your daughter-in-law in class.

As an uncle, he could teach Lu Bozhou a lesson, but he had no right to teach his niece-in-law a lesson.

Lu Shenyan turned sideways and raised his hand: "I was a little impatient! Get up first."

Li Pengxuan, who was tied up like a dumpling, was already dumbfounded.

How come Li Jinglan suddenly had an uncle who was a high-ranking official?

Li Jinglan stood up and picked up Li Pengxuan like a chicken.

"If your uncle or uncle asks you a question, answer it word for word." Li Jinglan stared at Li Pengxuan.

"Me? What did I say?" Li Pengxuan was confused.

It was clearly Lu Bozhou who knew the test questions in advance, so how did it become my fault?
