On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Shen Wantang frowned and stared at the boatman in front of him.

"Miss, you don't know that this young lady from the governor's family was really deceived by that pretty boy!"

At this point, the boatman's voice became much quieter, and the squeaking sound of the oars drowned out the boatman's voice.

Pretty boy? He must be talking about that brother-in-law.

But Shen Wantang was puzzled. Although her brother-in-law did not hold an official position, he was considered ambitious. If he passed the imperial examination in the future, he would naturally have a bright future. Why were the rumors about him like this?

"Why does the boatman say that?"

Qing'e looked at Shen Wantang with difficulty, then asked.

The boatman looked around and then whispered, "I'm only telling you two, don't tell anyone else."

Being able to say such words and looking like this, this story must have spread throughout the entire Jiangzhou City.

"That pretty boy, he foolishly seduced the governor's daughter. The daughter was raised in seclusion, how could she know how powerful such a man was? She was so seduced by him that she lost her mind and became thinner day by day. She would not marry anyone else but him!"

The boatman spoke with great emotion, as if he had experienced it himself.

"And then, he actually did something...immoral!"

The boatman's voice became even lower, and his expression was playful.

Shen Wantang's face turned cold, and Qing'e also became angry: "Boatman, where did you hear this rumor from? Don't spread it again in the future! If it gets to the governor's mansion, aren't you afraid that the governor will put you in jail!"

I thought the boatman would restrain himself, but unexpectedly, he became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Little girl, I'm not talking nonsense!"

Suddenly, the boatman slowed down and pointed to the restaurant on the shore, which was the restaurant where Chen Kangjian was recuperating: "Look!"

"At that time, the two of them were caught by the governor's wife in this restaurant. Although the young lady was wearing a veil, the man was disheveled. Who wouldn't know about this? I happened to be rowing past at the time and saw it clearly!"

The boatman narrated this as if boasting.

Just listening to the boatman's description, Qing'e felt distressed for Chen Tao.

Shen Wantang frowned, could it be that there was some deviation in her memory of her brother-in-law in her previous life?

After the story was told, they had just arrived at the destination and the boatman stopped the boat quietly.

Qing'e pinched out a few silver coins and handed them to the boatman, then walked aside with Shen Wantang.

"Miss, don't listen to those rumors. There are so many true and false things in the world. Who knows who is setting this trap for you, Miss?"

Qing'e tried to comfort her, but by then, Shen Wantang already had other ideas.

Shen Wantang went straight to the restaurant that the boatman had just pointed out.

Seeing Shen Wantang coming, the shopkeeper hurriedly went to greet her: "Miss, what do you want? We are taking good care of the man upstairs, so don't worry."

"I'm not here to see him." Shen Wantang spoke slowly.

"Shopkeeper, do you remember the incident with the governor's daughter a few years ago?" Shen Wantang took the shopkeeper aside and asked.

Before Shen Wantang could ask more, the shopkeeper's smile suddenly disappeared, and a layer of gloom covered his face. He glanced around and said disdainfully: "Why are you bringing up this matter for no reason?"

Looking at the shopkeeper's expression, he should know.

"Please tell me the truth about what happened back then, boss." Since that was the case, Shen Wantang stopped asking in a roundabout way.

The shopkeeper, however, had a look of disgust on his face, frowned, and shook his hand: "Miss, forget it. It would be a waste of your ears if you heard it, so it's better not to listen!"

After a few perfunctory remarks, the shopkeeper was about to slip away.

But Shen Wantang was determined to get to the bottom of things, so he grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar and said, "Shopkeeper, you are being too rude."

The collar tightened around the shopkeeper's neck. For a moment, his face turned red and he could hardly breathe.

"I say!" the shopkeeper begged for mercy in a hoarse voice.

Only then did Shen Wantang let go.

Sitting down, the shopkeeper still had a look of disdain on his face and snorted, "Sir, such a good official, the governor has raised a daughter who is such a flirtatious and dissolute person!"

The shopkeeper's words were obviously full of anger, and looking at his expression, he seemed to want to spit in Chen Tao's face.

There was hatred in Qing'e's eyes and she was about to speak but was stopped by Shen Wantang.

"Back then, she came to me with money and asked me to help her and the scholar. I was so foolish that I agreed to her request. But I didn't expect that the incident would become known to the whole city, and my restaurant almost closed down!"

Whenever he talked about this, a chill ran down his spine.

Then he quickly closed his eyes and muttered something, as if thanking his ancestors for their protection.

He looked somewhat sincere, but what he said was hard to believe.

"Can you guarantee that what you said is true?"

Qing'e was so angry that she stepped forward and started arguing.

The shopkeeper was not afraid at all. He raised his head and raised his hands above his head: "I swear to God! If I lie to you, my restaurant will never have any business again!"

For a businessman, this is undoubtedly the most vicious curse.

Qing'e was speechless for a moment.

Shen Wantang pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and asked, "Did you see everything you just said with your own eyes?"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, thinking for a moment: "I guess so, when the young lady came to give me money and pass on the message, she sent her servants, and I saw that the clothes she was wearing were the clothes of the governor's mansion."

With these words, Shen Wantang had a rough idea in his mind. He nodded, turned and left.

After coming out of the restaurant, Qing'e was still indignant: "Miss, in my opinion, the shopkeeper is just a liar! He ruined my cousin's innocence with just one sentence, it's really abominable!"

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows: "Not necessarily."

Qing'e doubted her ears and looked slightly startled. She said quietly, "Miss, what did you say?"

"I say, this nonsense may not have come from any shopkeeper."

Shen Wantang's eyes were bright and he already had an idea.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, Shen Wantang noticed something was wrong. He stood at a distance and asked in a cold voice, "Who is it?"

A dark figure suddenly appeared and knelt down in front of Shen Wantang. A cold voice echoed: "I am Bai Ge, greetings to the young lady."

It turned out to be a white dove.

Shen Wantang pulled people up again and again: "But is there any news from home?"

Bai Ge had a serious expression, frowned and shook his head.

"I am incompetent. I didn't do what the young lady asked me to do." Just as he stood up, Bai Ge knelt down again with a plop, looking at him earnestly, "Please punish me, young lady!"
