Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

When the ceremonial procession arrived at the Lu family's house, a group of craftsmen rushed forward and began to bang on the door.

Prepare to change the Lu family's fate.

Li Jinglan cheered up and told Zhao Zhengyi to entertain the guests.

He also called Niu Dayi, who had been guarding the door, to come over to help Zhao Zhengyi.

People came to announce the good news in groups, and after one group left, another group would appear.

Li Jinglan simply sat in a room in the front yard and put up a screen at the door to make it easier for her to give orders.

The people who reported the good news today were all from the surrounding area, but no one had passed the imperial examination. Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin hid in the study to talk.

"The innocent will be innocent, Brother Lu, don't worry." Zhou Jin advised him.

"I'm not angry about the lawsuit, but someone is framing my wife." Lu Bozhou understood Li Jinglan.

Li Jinglan would never retaliate against Lu Xuande by setting fire to her own house.

There is no need to use this method to deal with Lu Xuande.

But who is framing Li Jinglan?

"Brother Zhou, I used to think that I could protect my family after I passed the imperial examination. But I never expected that now that I have passed the imperial examination... I still cannot protect my family." Lu Bozhou sighed softly.

"They are scheming but we are in the open." Zhou Jin was very knowledgeable when discussing eight-legged essay, but when faced with such a situation, he didn't know how to persuade Lu Bozhou.

Lu Bozhou took a deep breath and said, "If I want to protect my family, I have to pass the imperial examination and become an official!"

Only by becoming an official and using a large mansion to protect his family would no one dare to bare their fangs against Li Jinglan.

Just when Lu Bozhou was worried, Zhao Zhengyi reported to Li Jinglan: "A group of people came to our house with a girl who was reported to be Mr. Zhou's sister."

"Sister?" Li Jinglan thought for a moment, "Please ask her to come in."

A girl walked in.

It was Zhou Jin’s cousin Zhou Tuanjin.

Zhou Tuanjin was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Jinglan, and couldn't help but say: "What a beautiful fairy."

Then he bowed: "My lady, my surname is Zhou and my name is Tuanjin."

Zhou Tuanjin?

In her previous life, Li Jinglan was on Lu Bozhou's side, and Zhou Jin was from the opposing faction. She had never dated Zhou Tuanjin.

We haven't even met each other.

All we know is that Zhou Jin treats this cousin as his own sister.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Young lady, are you Mr. Zhou's sister?"

"It's my cousin." Zhou Tuanjin answered straightforwardly.

"I went to check the list yesterday and found out that my brother passed the exam. Then..." Zhou Tuanjin paused for a few seconds, "Then I came to find my brother."

Li Jinglan knew a little about the Zhou family's affairs, but she didn't ask in detail. She smiled and said, "Your brother and Bozhou are brothers, so you and I are naturally as close as sisters."

"Since you're here, stay at home for a few days. Guanyu happened to say that she was lonely and wanted to find a companion."

He then instructed Zhao Zhengyi's family, "Go to the study to invite Master Zhou."

After a while, Zhou Jin came over.

Li Jinglan let the brother and sister talk.

Zhou Tuanjin seemed extremely angry and spoke very loudly.

Even though they were in another room, Li Jinglan could hear it from time to time.

"...He said that he had seen that you were a good student, but was afraid that you would not study hard, so he deliberately took your property to encourage you to study."

"What do you mean that it's all their credit that you passed the imperial examination?"

"Don't go back. I don't know how they will harm you if you go back."

……

The day after the provincial examination results were announced, Lu Bozhou was going to attend the Lu Ming Banquet.

The Luming Banquet was mainly held to entertain the newly-appointed scholars in the county.

At the banquet, sheep and pigs were first used to sacrifice to the two sages Confucius and Mencius, and then the sacrificial meat was shared.

Lu Bozhou wrote a poem in class and won unanimous applause.

It was almost evening when I came out of the yamen.

Lu Bozhou saw his own ox cart waiting by the roadside.

Got on the ox cart.

Li Jinglan smiled softly: "Did you drink?"

Lu Bozhou hummed: "I am the new champion, so I have to drink a few glasses of wine."

Then he reached out and held Li Jinglan's hand.

Li Jinglan nodded slightly at him.

Lu Bozhou looked down at her, and saw the sparkle in her eyes through the setting sun that came in through the car curtain.

The ox cart rumbled and moved forward.

In less than a cup of tea, it stopped again.

Get off the ox cart.

But it is the prison on the west side of the yamen.

A yamen runner holding a lantern led the way.

The prison is strictly guarded, with a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.

When they saw Li Jinglan and Lu Bozhou, all the yamen runners pretended not to see them and let them go forward.

After opening the heavy door, go straight down.

The further down you go, the colder the air becomes.

There was also a mixed smell of decay and disgust.

There is a door every few steps.

Go through these doors one by one.

The entire appearance of the prison appeared before Lu Bozhou.

When they reached the door of a prison, the bailiff called out, "Manager Zhang, someone is here to see you."

Shopkeeper Zhang, who was huddled in the cell, jumped up excitedly when he heard someone coming to see him.

But when he saw Lu Bozhou in the light of the flickering torch, he was so scared that he took several steps back.

"Now you're afraid of me, but how could you not be afraid when you slandered my wife?" Lu Bozhou was not a gentle and kind person, and his tone was even more cruel when he was angry.

The shopkeeper didn't even dare to say anything.

Lu Bozhou stared at the innkeeper in the prison and suddenly whispered, "Did my wife really instruct you to set the fire?"

Although Shopkeeper Zhang's body was shaking, his tone was very firm, "Yes."

"Is it someone next to me?" Lu Bozhou pointed at the person next to him with a mask on his face.

Manager Zhang had never met Li Jinglan. It was Zhao Zhengyi who hired him.

Seeing the silk dress that only the wives of scholars could wear, he was certain, "It's her."

"What did she say to you? Say it again." Lu Bozhou said in a soft voice.

Manager Zhang repeated what had been said in court.

Lu Bozhou laughed, "You don't even know who is next to me, and you actually said that my wife asked you to set the fire."

Following these words, the person next to Lu Bozhou suddenly took off the mask on his face, and it turned out to be Lu Shengjia.

Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned for a moment when he didn't expect that the person standing side by side with Lu Bozhou was not Li Jinglan.

There was a rustle behind Lu Bozhou, revealing a corner of light clothing.

"Yesterday, I asked the head of the yamen runners to invite your parents, your wife and children to the yamen."

Li Jinglan's voice was cold, but there was no fluctuation in her eyes.

"Under Sanmu, they confessed everything!"

Hearing this, Zhang's eyes turned red and he shouted hoarsely: "You tortured them."

Li Jinglan did not answer him, but just sighed, "Do you want to let them out?"

When Shopkeeper Zhang heard Li Jinglan say this, he rushed forward and grabbed the railing, "Are you serious? Are you really willing to let them go?"

Li Jinglan said in a gentle tone, "My husband is a top scholar and a kind man. As long as you confess, he will definitely let your family go."

Li Jinglan turned around and glanced at the yamen runner next to her.

A yamen runner turned around and walked out, pulling a little boy over.

The boy saw Zhang and screamed, "Daddy, Daddy, I'm scared! I want to go home."

After hearing that his entire family had been arrested and taken to the government office, Shopkeeper Zhang was completely panicked.

Hearing his son's voice, Shopkeeper Zhang's psychological defenses were completely broken.

"I admit it!"

He prostrated himself on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"I admit it!"

"It was a man named Li who gave me 100 taels of silver and asked me to set the fire, and then put the blame on the lady."

I confessed when I heard this.

Magistrate Xu, who was sitting in the cell next door, exchanged glances with several officials.

"Arrest him immediately!" Magistrate Xu gave the order in a low voice.
