After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Jiang Lian'er narrowed her eyes, hiding all the calculations in them.

"Thank you, Master Zhang, but you are powerless. Jiang Wan is a fierce woman, and she has Xie Lan's support. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for you to go to her alone."

Zhang Caijin nodded vigorously. He had just suffered a loss and couldn't afford to suffer it a second time.

"Then...what should we do?"

Jiang Lian'er smiled softly and said, "I have a good idea, but I have to ask Master Zhang something first."

"What's the matter?"

"Jiang Wan liked Master Zhang before, and everyone in Lushui Village knew about it. I wonder if she had any intimate behavior with you?"

Jiang Lian'er asked tentatively.

Zhang Caijin was stunned and denied it immediately, "Ms. Lian'er, it's true that Jiang Wan liked me before, but she and I are innocent and have never done anything inappropriate!"

How could Zhang Caijin admit in front of Jiang Lian'er that he had physical contact with Jiang Wan before?

Wouldn't this be a disgrace to him? Wouldn't it ruin his reputation?

Besides, there is no hope for Jiang Wan now, but Jiang Lian'er is not engaged yet, which means he still has a chance.

In order to leave a good impression in front of Jiang Lian'er, Zhang Caijin could not admit that he had anything in the past with Jiang Wan.

Jiang Lian'er frowned and said, "Master Zhang, think carefully, has Jiang Wan ever done anything frivolous to you, such as offering herself to you..."

It took Zhang Caijin a while to understand what Jiang Lianer meant.

Did she ask him to spread rumors that Jiang Wan was frivolous and dissolute?

"Miss Lian'er, what you mean is..."

Jiang Lian'er smiled gently, but did not say anything more. Instead, she complained, "Master Zhang, you also know what Jiang Wan has done recently. After she married Xie Lan, she became even more rampant, and she even allowed Xie Lan to beat my second uncle and second brother. There are so many things that I cannot finish talking about. If Master Zhang really wants to help me, then do as you wish. If you use force against Jiang Wan, she has a violent temper and you will definitely not be able to deal with her. It is better to use a soft approach, ruin her reputation, and let her suffer a little. This way, at least I will feel better."

"Otherwise, our Jiang family has been bullied by Jiang Wan all the time, but we can't do anything about her. Wouldn't that make her more and more arrogant?"

Jiang Lian'er spoke softly and every word touched Zhang Caijin's heart.

His eyes lit up, and he couldn't suppress his excitement and said, "Miss Lian'er, you are right. If you can't do anything to Jiang Wan with a hard approach, you should try a soft approach! Let her have a taste of infamy!"

Zhang Caijin values ​​his reputation and face, so he naturally knows the importance of these two things.

The Zhang family had a bad reputation in Lushui Village, so the head of the village looked down on the Zhang family and did not want to do justice for him.

The more Zhang Caijin thought about it, the more he felt that this method of spreading rumors about Jiang Wan would work, but soon he was embarrassed and said, "Miss Lian'er, how should we implement it specifically?"

He is a scholar, and it would not be appropriate for him to speak ill of a woman in public. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Jiang Lian'er's eyes flashed with impatience, and then she smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you don't need to do anything. Just tell me in detail how Jiang Wan pursued you before."

Zhang Caijin pondered for a while, then started talking to Jiang Lianer incessantly.

An hour later, Zhang Caijin walked out of the teahouse.

The conversation he had just had with Jiang Lian'er had deepened his resentment towards Jiang Wan and Xie Lan.

As he was walking, he happened to pass by the bookstore where he had met Jiang Wan last time.

He stopped and looked inside for a moment.

Seeing a stranger clerk in the bookstore, he hesitated for a moment and walked in.

The bookstore clerk asked enthusiastically, "Sir, are you here to buy books?"

Zhang Caijin looked around and asked, "Where is the shopkeeper?"

The clerk replied, "The shopkeeper has gone home to visit his relatives."

Zhang Caijin looked him over and said, "You look unfamiliar to me."

The waiter smiled and said, "My cousin used to be a waiter here, but his wife gave birth these past two days, so he asked me to take over for a few days."

Zhang Caijin uttered an "oh" as an evil idea began to stir in his heart.

He remembered that the last time the bookstore owner tried to curry favor with Jiang Wan and Xie Lan, he specifically asked his clerk to write down Jiang Wan's name and address, saying that he wanted to treat her as a distinguished guest.

He thought of Jiang Wan's humiliation of him a few days ago and Xie Lan's ruthless slap in the face.

Zhang Caijin was filled with anger and immediately thought of a way to take revenge on the two men.

He said to the waiter, "Bring me a set of good writing brushes, inkstones, and paper."

The clerk smiled happily and immediately took out the best set of study items in the store.

"Sir, please take a look. These are the finest pens, inkstones, and paper in our shop. Both the material and the workmanship are top-notch."

The clerk tried hard to sell it, but Zhang Caijin only took a quick look and decided, "Pack it up for me."

"okay!"

The waiter had never seen such a frank and generous customer. He looked poorly dressed, but he didn't expect him to be so generous.

After packing, the waiter smiled flatteringly and said, "Sir, this set is the best in our shop, so the price is a bit higher."

Zhang Caijin didn’t care about the price. He wasn’t the one paying anyway, so why should he care so much?

He asked the waiter, "Have you heard of Miss Jiang Wanjiang's name? She's the girl who came to your store last time and bought a lot of things."

The waiter was startled and nodded quickly, "I know her! Miss Jiang is an honored guest of our bookstore. The shopkeeper specifically asked my cousin to entertain her well. My cousin also told me before he left."

Zhang Caijin pretended to be familiar with the matter and said, "That's right. Today's account will be put on Jiang Wantou of Lushui Village. When she comes to visit us some other day, we can ask her to pay the debt."

As he was about to leave with a bag of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, the waiter quickly stopped him.

"Sir, please stay! If you don't leave your name, I can explain it to you when Miss Jiang comes."

Zhang Caijin would never leave his name. He thought of the slaps Xie Lan had given him and said without even turning his head, "My last name is Xie, and my given name is Xie Lan."

Jiang Lian'er learned about their past from Zhang Caijin. She left the teahouse and found a down-and-out storyteller.

He was asked to exaggerate and spread the news about Jiang Wan's lewd and indecent behavior before marriage, and then to send a young apprentice to Lushui Village to spread the rumors.

After everything was arranged, the second young master of the Liu family sent a servant to the breakfast and lunch restaurant to invite her to have dinner at Zuixianlou in the evening.

Jiang Lian'er went to the banquet in a happy mood. Because she was in a good mood, she gave Master Liu a few smiles, which made Master Liu bewitched.

Two days later, a rumor spread in Luohe Town.

The protagonist of the rumor was a stupid village girl who fell in love with the talented scholar in the village. In order to force the scholar to marry her, she shamelessly offered herself to him and even seduced him. However, the scholar was determined and was not moved by the temptation. Even when the village girl offered herself to him, he did not nod in agreement.

It was also said that the village girl was strong and domineering, unfilial to her elders, disrespectful to her uncles and aunts, and had turned a good family into a mess. She even beat her sisters and brothers, and drove the entire family out of the village, leaving them with no home to return to and having to stay outside.

Fourth Aunt Xie happily came to Luohe Town with her second son and second daughter-in-law to sell pig offal, and happened to hear customers talking about this rumor.

The more she listened, the more familiar it became.

After selling the braised offal, I returned to the entrance of Lushui Village and heard a few gossipers discussing rumors in the town.

She woke up as if from a dream.

Isn’t the protagonist of this rumor my niece-in-law Jiang Wan?
