At night, when Lin Mei returned to the house, she heard Peaches chattering with anger, and secretly wondered if this matter had anything to do with the "Xiao Pozi".

Every day, even at the gate of the Lin Mansion, there were people pointing and pointing from time to time.

"The eldest girl in the Lin family's mansion can't give birth to a child, and she raised a son before she left the cabinet."

"That's right, you said that if the future in-laws of the eldest girl of the Lin family knew about it, would they dissolve the marriage contract?"

"Shhh, you guys be quiet, the eldest girl of the Lin family is a person with a marriage contract, how could she do such a shameless thing, I'm afraid that there will be some misunderstanding, let's not spread rumors at will, leave some tongue."

"If it were me, I would definitely not be able to tolerate such a daughter-in-law, no matter whether the child was her illegitimate child or not, in case she really couldn't give birth to her own son, wouldn't this cut off her offspring?"

After Lin Mei found out, although she was angry, she also knew that someone was maliciously manipulating the rumors, and her purpose was to ruin her reputation.

Huanxiang was a little scared, on the one hand, she was worried about the identity of the little master, and on the other hand, she was also worried about the reputation of the Lin family, you must know that the Lin family has more than one girl. Several times I wanted to move back to Yishantang with Lin Mei, which would be good for everyone, but Lin Mei disagreed, that is, from the moment she decided to hug Brother Huai, she no longer cared about her reputation.

Even the matchmakers who are good friends with the Lin family also come to the door to knock on the side, and even the big house and the fourth room have neighbors who come to inquire, or that sentence, the Lin family has more than one girl.

Mrs. Qiao's post has not been put down, and she was frightened by this crazy talk, thinking that the sister-in-law of her mother's hall is the most good-looking person, if the rumors are true, this is not a marriage, this is a feud, so she simply sent a mother-in-law to the door to say that Mrs. Qi was in poor health, and she was afraid that the birthday celebration would not be done.

Lin Mei smiled bitterly, anyway, it wasn't good for the Qiao family's marriage, and it didn't work out, but she didn't expect Lin Xi to also suffer this unwarranted disaster.

Although Lin Xi said with a smile on her face that it was okay, it still had an impact on her marriage, and the previous Feng family's withdrawal from the family was pulled out by those three aunts and six mothers-in-law, Lin Mei was afraid that Lin Xi's future in-laws would pick a bone in the egg if they took these two things - nothing to do.

In this regard, he is even more concerned about Lin Xi's marriage.

Rumors stop at the wise, but if they don't come forward to express their attitude, it will only make the wise people think that this is the acquiescence of the person concerned, but this rumor cannot be explained clearly in one sentence or two, not to mention that the person who instigated the rumor has not yet been found.

But the more the Lin family wanted to clarify, the more the rumors spread, the more suspenseful they became, from the Lin family's girl not being able to give birth, and finally evolving into an "illegitimate child", but as for the father of the "illegitimate child", it became everyone's wild conjecture.

From unknown merchants to the stewards of the Lin Mansion, the little white faces raised in outsourcing, the down-and-out scholars, and even the big and small officials in Luoyang have become the objects of the people's obscenity.

Within three days of this, rumors spread all over Luoyang like weeds after the rain. Even Mrs. Zang was alarmed, mainly because the wind was too loud, and all the officials who liked to go to the Red Apricot Restaurant became the protagonists of the gossip, and they had to send the powerful mother-in-law surnamed Wei to the Lin family to confirm.

Lin Mei smiled bitterly.

I didn't expect to be stumped by a rumor one day!

In front of the mother-in-law, he directly told the matter of Yishantang, and the people in the hall were orphans left behind when the refugees returned to their hometowns. I really couldn't bear to see those children begging on the street without clothes and without food, so I moved my compassion and quietly set up Yishan Hall, but the Lin family had a thin foundation and only took in about a dozen children. Brother Huai was brought back from Yishantang, and he was brought back with a seven-year-old boy Pinggui and a girl Xia Xiang who was less than seven years old.

After Lin Mei said something aggrieved, she also hugged Pinggui and Xia Xiang together with Brother Huai to say goodbye to Mrs. Wei.

Wei Pozi is also an orphan, she was sold to the Qin family slave since she was a child, she cried frequently several times, and saw three and a half children, the youngest Brother Huai, who was only eight months old as the "illegitimate child" said in others' mouths, and he looked like a tiger, and he laughed when he saw people, and he couldn't help but feel pity.

Under the repeated pleas of the Lin family, he personally went to Yishantang to confirm that Wei Pozi came out of Yishantang and recited "Amitabha" with her palms together, leaving a sentence that Lin Dashan and good people will have good rewards. Then he turned around and went back to Changshi's mansion, and in front of Mrs. Zang and Zang Changshi, he made the matter of Yishantang clear and understood, and praised the righteous deeds of the Lin family girl. In the end, he sued the rumor-monger fiercely.

Mrs. Zang was very angry when she heard this, and counted her husband fiercely, the return of refugees to their hometowns was a major event, and Mrs. Zang listened to her husband boast that this matter was done very safely, not only gave the money to return home, but even those old, weak, sick and orphans were arranged properly. Mrs. Zang was very proud to reply to Master Qin, and praised her husband fiercely, hoping that her father could help her husband in his future.

But the Lin family's Yishantang just slapped her husband in the mouth, and he didn't even know the history of local supervision, so wouldn't it be criticized. Besides, a small Lin family can help and take in more than a dozen women and orphans, is it possible that the Zang family is not even as good as the Lin family? What's more, Zang Changshi reported this matter to the imperial court in terms of history and politics to ensure that there was no legacy of the proper settlement of the refugees, but now if it is known by political enemies, a crime of negligence will not be able to escape, and maybe it will be affected by Qin Taishi.

Therefore, Zang Changshi is also very angry, and his anger is naturally not small, and he ordered a strict investigation of the source of rumors, who would dare to criticize the Lin family now!

Soon, the Lin family's good deeds were intentionally praised by Zang Changshi, and Yishantang was also made public.

In order not to add trouble to the Lin family, Yishantang was also taken over by the government, but the three children who were taken away by the Lin family before were not allowed to be taken back by the government. The number of children, women and children who remained in the church was indeed registered, and at the same time, because of the fame of the church, it did not take long for the number of children, women and children who went to the church to ask for admission tripled.

Zang Changshi knew about it, and he pinched a cold sweat in his heart, but fortunately, he could be regarded as a remedy for this aftermath, and he did not leave any criticism.

Lin Mei didn't do anything, not only accepted Brother Huai as her adopted son, but also accepted Pinggui and Xia Xiang as her righteous son and daughter, according to her words, she didn't have to worry about raising lice too much. He also picked an auspicious day of the zodiac, set up a few tables of banquets, and invited Mrs. Zang, Mrs. Qiao and other official wives who are all well-known in Luoyang to testify for them.

When Mrs. Qiao received the post, she thought about the marriage that changed her mind, and she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to face the people of the Lin family, claiming that she couldn't go out because she was sick.

After Lin Mei found out, not only was she not angry, but she also gave a century-old ginseng, so that she could live and recuperate at home, and when she was well, she would bring the child to the door.

Mrs. Qiao was even more guilty and embarrassed, and wrote a letter overnight to send it to Rizhao, as for whether the two families have fate, it depends on God.

It just so happened that Mrs. Zang's mother's side also heard back, but she wanted Mrs. Zang to help arrange it, go to the Lin family to take a breath, and arrange for the two families to find a chance to see each other.

Mrs. Zang's ancestral home is in Heqing County, less than half a day's journey from Luoyang, I don't know when the news came out that Mrs. Zang's family wanted to marry the Lin Mansion, and the wind of rumors changed at this time, and even the Lin family's donation to charity almost went bankrupt was also pulled out. If you do a good deed and keep a low profile, it is a real good deed, and this is the righteous person!
