After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Cao said hurriedly:

"Madam, there must be a misunderstanding! Mo Niang had a miscarriage on her own. What does it have to do with me? Everyone in the neighborhood knows that I love my daughter-in-law the most. Look, I went out early in the morning to buy her some fish to nourish her body after she had a miscarriage!"

As he spoke, he shook the fish he had already killed.

"Pretentious!"

Old Madam Yuan said angrily.

This woman must have used this kind of superficial effort on a daily basis, pretending to be serious in public and stepping on Mo Niang to create a good reputation for herself.

Censor Yuan said directly:

"Ma'am, there's no need to waste time talking to her. Let's go."

As they spoke, the two men led Mo Niang out of the door.

Cao didn't dare to drag them away. There were many masters and servants in the Yuan family, but there was only her and a maid in their family. She would be no match for them if they tried to pull them away.

"Master! Madam! You can't take my daughter-in-law away like this. If you take her away, you are deliberately trying to force me to death!"

She cried and ran after him.

Originally, Cao bought some fish and was greeting his neighbors on the way back. Many of the neighbors were still outside and had not yet gone in.

Now, when they heard her crying, they all gathered around her.

"What happened to the eldest sister of the Sun family?"

A familiar neighbor asked with concern.

Cao immediately wiped her tears and said in panic:

"Sister-in-law, what should I do? What woman has never had a miscarriage? My daughter-in-law has had a miscarriage, and the old man and the old lady blame me for not taking good care of her. They want to take my daughter-in-law back home and divorce my Herong!"

"This is going to kill me. How am I going to explain this to He Rong?"

When the neighbors heard this, they immediately pointed and whispered:

"This is too overbearing!"

"Marrying a rich woman means you'll be bullied!"

"Alas, it's so pitiful to have such a daughter-in-law!"

When Old Madam Yuan heard these lies and discussions, she became so angry that her chest heaved.

Seeing that the neighbors had gathered around, Censor Yuan gave the old lady a soothing look, walked forward, and said to everyone in a friendly and loud voice:

"Since all the neighbors are here, please come and judge the matter between our two families!"

Because Cao secretly showed off from time to time, the neighbors around her all knew the background of their daughter-in-law from a wealthy family.

"This old man is a second-rank official! Two ranks higher than the prefect!"

"I heard that he was once the Prime Minister. He seems really approachable!"

"That's right. He's not arrogant at all. You can tell at first glance that he's a reasonable person."

As soon as Censor Yuan spoke in a friendly manner, he immediately won the favor of everyone.

With a word of praise from the neighbor and a word of help in judging the dispute, all the neighbors are made happy.

Everyone fell silent, waiting for what was to come.

Censor Yuan then continued:

"My granddaughter has a miserable life. Her mother died early and her father didn't care about her. She had to rely on us two old people to support her. As a result, she is timid and cowardly and doesn't dare to interact with others. I heard that she has been staying at home since she married into the Sun family, which is very impolite to the neighbors. As her grandfather, I would like to apologize to everyone here!"

As he said this, he bowed slightly.

As a person in a higher position, his attitude was so humble and polite that his neighbors felt very comfortable and subconsciously were more likely to listen to his words.

The neighbors had hardly ever seen Mo Niang. After hearing what Censor Yuan said, and then looking at the thin, frail, and somewhat timid figure standing beside Old Madam Yuan, who kept her head down, they immediately felt that she was far from the arrogant young lady that Cao had described.

"Looking at what Cao said every day, I thought her daughter-in-law was arrogant and fierce, but now it seems that her whole family is not like that!"

"Yes, her daughter-in-law looks very timid!"

"Alas, although I was born into a rich family, I have no parents to love me. I can only live with my grandparents. I have been a poor person since I was a child!"

Cao was very anxious when she heard the neighbors' discussions, but because of the weak image she portrayed herself as, she had no reason to interrupt.
