The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich
Chapter 792 - 792 The Truth792 The Truth
He had never thought that Chen Yuanguan would have the leisure to pay attention to every move outside the court when he was clearly handling a case in court.
He did not know how to respond.
After all, he had just said that he and song Qingyan were good friends. However, his abnormal behavior confirmed his lie.
At this moment, Constable Zhang stepped forward and reported, ” my Lord, I found a carriage in front of the Zeng family’s house. I asked a few servants, and they all answered that master Zeng had ordered the Butler to prepare a carriage and silver for him as soon as he returned. He is leaving the city!”
Chen yuanguan squinted his sharp eyes and immediately looked at Zeng Yiming. He shouted, ” Zeng Yiming, tell me, why did you choose to leave quickly and even leave the city immediately when you saw your good friend’s body? ”
Zeng Yiming’s forehead was full of cold sweat, but he didn’t even think about wiping it off. He was thinking about how to cover up the lie and make people believe him!
However, at this moment, someone stoked the fire!
This person was Lin yuelan.
Lin yuelan said to Chen yuanguan, no, to everyone in the court, ” my Lord, you may not know this, but old master Zeng has the habit of kicking his good friends when they are down! Isn’t that right, Elder Zeng?” The first sentence was directed at Chen yuanguan, and the second sentence was obviously directed at Zeng Yiming.
Zeng Yiming’s sharp eyes shot at Lin yuelan, and he asked angrily, ” Who are you? ”
Lin yuelan smiled and cupped her hands at Zeng Yiming. “Oh, old master Zeng doesn’t come out all day. He might not know who I am. How about this? I’ll reintroduce myself.”
Then, she looked at Zeng Yiming seriously and said, ” my name is Lin yuelan. I am the granddaughter of your friend from 20 years ago, Lin Deshan. Old master Zeng, do you know who I am now?”
Zeng Yiming pointed at Lin yuelan in disbelief, stammering.
He had never expected Lin Deshan’s granddaughter, the current head of Lin’s medicine hall, to be so young.
However, Lin yuelan didn’t want to talk to him.
Instead, he turned to Chen yuanguan and continued, ” my Lord, 20 years ago, although master Zeng and my grandfather Lin Deshan were both heirs of the medicine shop, I don’t know if it was fate or someone deliberately arranged for them to become good friends.
“My Grandpa is kind and has full trust in this good friend of his who is his competitor. He has never doubted him.
“He even shared with him some secret prescriptions.
“However, one day, the Lin medicine Hall suddenly gave the wrong prescription and killed a person, causing the Lin medicine Hall’s hundred-year reputation to be destroyed.
“However, my grandfather’s most trusted friend threatened my grandfather to hand over two of the Lin family’s most precious treasures. One of them was Lin’s medicinal manual, and the other was the thousand-year-old ginseng.
“He said that as long as my grandfather handed over these two items, he would use all of the Zeng family’s power to save the Lin family from bankruptcy.
“On the other hand, he secretly got people to spread the news that the Lin medicine shop had killed people. He even said that the Lin medicine shop sold fake medicine, using inferior quality medicine to replace the good. The medicine that was usually free for the poor was actually fake medicine.
“Just like that, as the Lin medicine shop’s reputation became worse and worse, the Lin family was powerless to turn the tables. Fortunately, my grandfather accidentally discovered his good friend’s plot and didn’t hand over the two treasures.
“The Zeng family was furious and secretly colluded with the magistrate to capture my grandfather’s father and force him to confess. In the end, my grandfather used all the power of the Lin family to get my father out, but he was seriously ill and on the verge of death. In the end, he died of regret and depression!”
When they heard Lin yuelan talk about what happened between the Lin family and the Zeng family 20 years ago, they were all shocked.
According to Lin yuelan, the Zeng family was responsible for the Lin family’s bankruptcy.
But Zeng Yiming and Lin Deshan were good friends.
Was he really going to put his best friend to death for the sake of his so-called benefits?
Zeng Yiming heard Lin yuelan’s story and his face turned aghast. He pointed at Lin yuelan in panic and said loudly and guiltily, “You’re talking nonsense!”
Lin yuelan chuckled and said, ” old master Zeng, I’m not done yet. Let me finish and see if I’m talking nonsense.”
Then, Lin yuelan continued, “Why did Lin’s medicine Hall get the wrong prescription twenty years ago and kill the patient? It’s actually very simple. The prescription was changed by someone, and the person who changed the prescription was someone my grandfather trusted. He never thought that the prescription would be changed! Old master Zeng, who do you think was the one who changed the prescription?”
