Zhao Rongrong turned around and found Lin An staring blankly at Yu Niang's back.

"What? Can't bear to part with you?"

Lin An came back to his senses and saw Zhao Rongrong's ugly face, his heart skipped a beat. This Yu Niang was indeed from Qin Lou and Chu Guan, she still didn't forget to seduce him even at this point.

"Rongrong, please stop teasing me. She and I have no relationship at all, so why would I be reluctant to let her go?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Rongrong with disappointment, and then lowered his eyes, "Don't you know what I'm thinking?"

Zhao Rongrong blushed suddenly, and her suspicion of Lin An disappeared instantly. She said coquettishly, "How can I know what you are thinking?"

Lin An's eyes flickered and a determined smile crossed his lips.

When the person Nan Yan sent to monitor Lin An and Zhao Rongrong told Nan Yan what happened that day, a look of appreciation flashed across her face.

Although Yu Niang ended up in a brothel, she knew what she wanted and could take it or let it go.

?

Beijing.

Wuyou handed a stack of account books and a secret letter to Shang Yue, "Your Majesty, we have collected all the evidence against the Zhao family. Do you want to convict them now?"

The Zhao family was the minions of the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was dealt with by Shang Yue. Because the account books and the whereabouts of the embezzled silver were not found at that time, Shang Yue pretended that he had not found the Zhao family.

Shang Yue's main purpose of going to Jinling was to get the account book.

In two years, Prefect Zhao went from being terrified to relaxing his guard, thinking he could rest easy.

Now, the correspondence between the Zhao family and the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the account books of corruption, and the whereabouts of the silver have been obtained.

Shang Yue waved his hand, with a faint smile in his eyes, "Wait a little longer."

She was having a great time now, so how could he spoil her fun?

?

Ever since the incident with Yu Niang, Lin An has completely captured Zhao Rongrong's heart.

After falling in love with Lin An, Zhao Rongrong began to doubt why she liked Ruan Shaoling in the past.

Although Ruan Shaoling had a good family background and good looks, he had a bad temper and a vicious tongue. For Nan Yan, he even embarrassed her in public.

It’s still Lin Anhao, she is all in my heart and eyes.

After Lin An won over Zhao Rongrong, he couldn't wait to get engaged to her in case there were any changes.

That day, after Lin An asked Zhao Rongrong out, he couldn't wait to ask, "Rongrong, have you told Lord Zhao about our affairs?"

Zhao Rongrong bit her lip, her eyes full of apology, and whispered, "I haven't said it yet."

Lin An's status is indeed not very good. If his father knew about this, he would definitely be angry.

What's more, Dad is still angry about her offending Nan Yan. If she tells him now, wouldn't it just add fuel to the fire? She was a little afraid to say it.

Lin An's face was full of hurt, and his tone was low, "Rongrong, did I embarrass you? If only my family background was better, I wouldn't make things so difficult for you."

Seeing him like this, Zhao Rongrong immediately felt distressed.

"Lin An, it's not like that. You're a good person, and your family background is not something you can choose. It's just... it's just that my sister's marriage hasn't been decided yet, and as her younger sister, it's hard for me to say anything." She made up an excuse.

She assured: "Don't worry, I will tell you when I go back today."

After returning home that day, Zhao Rongrong mustered up the courage to tell Prefect Zhao about her and Lin An.

"Snapped!"

Prefect Zhao was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table, his triangular eyes filled with rage.

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. How can you, a daughter of a prefectural governor, marry a scholar with such a low family background?"

Mrs. Zhao on the side also looked disapproving, "Rongrong, your father is right, you two are not a good match, it's not appropriate."

"Besides, most scholars are heartless, especially those with poor family backgrounds."

Lin An is not that kind of person.

Zhao Rongrong stiffened her neck and retorted, "Didn't Miss Ruan marry a poor scholar before?"

"Besides, that poor scholar is from the countryside, and his family background is not as good as Lin An's. Now the poor scholar has become the prime minister!"

"Don't you see who Prime Minister Nan is? He was known as a child prodigy when he was young. He passed the examination for a student at the age of eleven. After that, he entered Jinling Academy and was praised by all the teachers. He won the first place in the imperial examination three times in a row and became the first place at the age of twenty."

"What about Lin An? How can Lin An be compared with Prime Minister Nan?"

"Lin An is also a student. He will pass the imperial examinations in the future."

Looking at this stubborn daughter, Prime Minister Nan didn't know what kind of love potion Lin An had given her to make her so devoted.

"Give up on your idea of ​​marrying Lin An." Magistrate Zhao shouted at the door, "Come here, lock the young lady in the yard and keep an eye on her. Don't let her go out."

Prefect Zhao waved his sleeves and left.

Zhao Rongrong ran over and hugged Madam Zhao, crying loudly, "Mom, wuwuwu... Lin An is so good, why doesn't Dad let me marry him?"

Mrs. Zhao, who originally felt sorry for her daughter, turned her look of distress into disappointment because of her words.

"Rongrong, you are being blinded by that poor scholar."

"No, Mom, Lin An is really fine."

Mrs. Zhao's heart ached, "Take the second young lady away!"

Zhao Rongrong was locked up in the yard, and Lin An was also warned by someone sent by Prefect Zhao.

This Zhao Rongrong is really capable. She actually secretly climbed through a dog hole to find Lin An.

After being bewitched by Lin An, the two slept together.

Even if the prefect was dissatisfied or angry, he had no choice but to agree.

The two quickly got engaged.

Lin An became the prefect's prospective son-in-law and enjoyed the compliments from others. He felt very happy when he saw those people who looked down on him before now turned around and fawned over him.

However, his pride did not last long.

Because of corruption, Magistrate Zhao’s house was confiscated and his entire family was exiled to the frontier. His descendants for five generations were not allowed to serve as officials in the court.

Lin An was afraid of getting into trouble, so he quickly cut off his relationship with the Zhao family.

Only then did Zhao Rongrong realize that what her family said was true and Lin An was lying to her.

Under the double blow, she fell ill and had to drag her frail body to the border, suffering all the way.

Lin An lost the Zhao family, his powerful future in-laws, and could not earn any money, so he had no choice but to go back to look for Yu Niang again.

Yu Niang immediately mocked: "I don't like you, a dog who curries favor with the powerful."

"Do you know why I came out to see you? I just wanted to see your miserable state, so that I can feel relieved."

Lin An's face turned pale and blue, and he suddenly became angry and embarrassed.

"You still think you are something good, you are just a prostitute who has been slept with by thousands of men."

"Pa!" Yu Niang slapped Lin An in the face.

"No match for you, you sanctimonious hypocrite."

That slap in the face made Yu Niang's depression disappear.

From this point on, she and Lin An were strangers.

One day later, a box of love poems written by Lin An to Yu Niang was found on a street.

Scholars value their reputation the most. Lin An suffered from strange looks from others every day. Finally, he could not stay in the academy and gave up studying completely.

Nan Yan didn't expect any unexpected surprises, and Zhao Rongrong's ending was even worse than she expected.

Now that the matter in Jinling had come to an end, she was ready to go to the capital.

????????

Let’s open a new map.

Shang Yue, Yan'er is here, why don't you come and greet her?
