Chapter 471 Just be a human being

Her daughter, Ayin, was going to marry into a noble family and enjoy a good life in the future, so how could she get involved with that poor scholar?

Zhou Lanting deserves to die. He shouldn't have appeared in the Zheng Mansion at all.

Because of him, all plans had to be changed.

"It's reasonable for Hanlin Zheng to look down on Zhou Shusheng's family because of their poor financial situation. But no matter how stupid Lord Zheng is, he won't marry his daughter to your brother, right?"

"She's a little bitch who's been to a brothel and almost lost her virginity. What's there to pick on? It's still unclear whether my little brother wants her or not!"

When the time comes, if she whispers in the master's ear, the master will surely be eager to marry off that little bitch who has brought disgrace to the family.

If she married her brother, she could at least be a leisurely young lady. But what would marrying that poor scholar mean? Nothing!

"It's all your fault." Aunt Xiao pointed at Yu Linlang and the others and cursed angrily, gritting her teeth, "You are so nosy and worried. What does this have to do with you? Do you want to get involved? There are so many unfair things in the world, can you manage them all?"

"I can't control it." Yu Linlang blinked, "But isn't this just a coincidence? If even we stand by and watch indifferently, then... wouldn't this world be over?"

Yu Linlang straightened her collar seriously and said, "Fortunately, I am the light of justice in the world!"

"The light of justice will last forever! Fox is mighty!" The two younger brothers, Qingniu and Linghe, immediately raised their fists and shouted slogans in response.

Chi Tu couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Yu Linlang kicked open the cell door, "Master Zheng, did you hear everything?"

Aunt Xiao, whose face was hideous and as if she was crazy, was startled when she heard the name "Master Zheng", and a look of fear appeared on her face.

Zheng Guang slowly walked out from the wooden fence with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Master! Master." Aunt Xiao rushed forward excitedly, but was held down firmly by two jailers behind the bars.

She twisted her body and stretched out her hands to Zheng Lord, begging, "Master, Master, save me, Master, Master, save me."

"Zheng Guang, if this matter gets out..."

"Sir!" Zheng Guang's unclear mind suddenly jumped, and he quickly bowed to Yu Linlang with a sincere look on his face, "This is a family matter, please don't spread it to others."

Yu Linlang looked embarrassed. "Look at what you said, Lord Zheng. There is no such thing as family and outside when handling a case, right? Hey, look at what this has caused. You and I are colleagues, and I don't want to see you being chased and scolded by the censors."

"To favor your concubine to the extent of neglecting your wife is really... a bit outrageous, you know." Yu Linlang looked at her with a look of disapproval, shaking her head and waving her hands, which made Lord Zheng tremble with fear.

"Yes, yes, yes, Master Yuhu is absolutely right. It is because I did not teach my concubine strictly and indulged her. Master, please enforce the law impartially and do what needs to be done. From now on, I will definitely draw a clear line between me and the Xiao family."

Yu Linlang smiled and raised her eyebrows, "So, what does Lord Zheng mean? Don't let the lawyer come to make trouble?"

"No, no, absolutely not." Zheng Guang responded repeatedly, "Sir, please take a look at this case and do what you need to do. Please don't spread the news."

"Master~~~" Aunt Xiao screamed shrilly, with a look of sadness and resoluteness.

Zheng Guang's heart was pounding, and he dared not look at her even for a moment.

Now he just regarded this vicious woman as a hot potato, which should be thrown away far away. Why would he rush to get close to her and seek trouble?

"Master Zheng, please keep your words to yourself... it seems to lack some sincerity."

Zheng Guang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head slightly to look at the smiling little girl.

Could it be that Lord Yuhu wanted to openly solicit a bribe? Zheng Guang felt a little excited. If she really dared, she would be handing him the evidence.

"Please...instruct me clearly, sir." Zheng Guang glanced at her with a sly look and bowed his hands to suppress his inner joy.

"Hey, Mr. Zheng, you are just pretending to be ignorant, right?" Yu Linlang patted his shoulder with a smile, "Your daughter Zheng Manting is getting married soon, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Master Zheng, please behave like a human being. Why are you looking at me like that? Your daughter is getting married, and you don't have any expression?"

Zheng Guang was stunned, "Master Yuhu means this."

"Miss Zheng has suffered so much injustice, all because of your concubine. She almost fell into a wolf's den and died without a burial place. As a father, your daughter is about to get married, and you have no preparations at all?"

"Yes, yes." Zheng Guang felt disappointed. It turned out that Yuhu was not asking for a bribe from him, but seeking justice for Manting...

"What is it? Tell us what you think." Lord Yuhu became impatient. Why was it so tiring to talk to a fool?

He is slow to react and speaks in a slow manner, which is stupid and ugly!

"If it works, then it works. If it doesn't, then forget it."

"Oh, yes, I will prepare thirty-two loads of dowry for Manting as compensation."

Yu Linlang looked contemptuous, "Sir Zheng, when a wealthy merchant gets married, the price is 64 sedan chairs. Why is it half price when it comes to you?"

"Don't forget that you are still an official. You want to completely disgrace the reputation of Zheng Hanlin."

Zheng Hanlin felt bitter inside, but he kept smiling at Master Yuhu, "Yes, yes, Master, you are absolutely right. Then, I will compensate Manting with 64 loads of dowry."

"Oh, that's right." Yu Linlang nodded, with an expression that said you know what's going on. She raised her hand and patted Zheng Hanlin on the shoulder. "Don't worry. No one in our Demon Suppression Division is a gossiper. Your family affairs will naturally not be spread to others."

"Hanlin Zheng," Lord Yuhu said, as if he was opening his heart to a colleague. "Your dowry can't be too shabby. If you just collect some broken copper and rotten clay pots, you'll lose face if you tell others about it."

"Yes, of course. Yes, I will have someone take good care of it and will not mess around."

Yu Linlang smiled and tapped Zheng Hanlin's collar lightly, "Look at what you said, Lord Zheng. We are colleagues. How can I not trust you to do things?"

Zheng Hanlin smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

"As for the criminal Xiao, she was involved in three cases, one murder, kidnapping, human trafficking, and attempted poisoning. I guess she'll have to spend the rest of her life in prison."

"Yes, yes, it's all up to you, sir!"

"Zheng! Guang!!! You treat me like this, Zheng Guang! Zheng Guang!" Aunt Xiao's screams were heard from the prison.

After Yu Linlang sent Lord Zheng out, she returned to the prison door with a smile and said "Hey" to Aunt Xiao.

"Guess when Mr. Zheng will marry his second wife?"

Aunt Xiao's whole body froze, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Alas, now that you are in prison, your children will be miserable. When the new wife comes, do you think they will have a good life?"

Lord Yuhu knew how to hurt someone's heart, so he turned around and left after saying this, ignoring Aunt Xiao's shrill roar.
