Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Judging the Buddha, not the Monk

Why not let it happen then?

"Old Madam Yan, you’ve mistaken someone else for your in-law. I’m not connected to your family in any way. Your in-law is in the Marquis Mansion." Old Man Zeng spoke coldly, showing no courtesy to Grandma Yan.

"This..."

Stunned by this rebuke, Grandma Yan was at a loss for words. Despite her embarrassment, she still had to force a smile.

"Father-in-law, how can you say that? Jin Hua and Yu Lang had feelings for each other from when they were little. Can we let an outsider’s interference ruin the lives of these two children? What do you have to say about that?"

"Who has any feelings with your precious granddaughter? Grandma Yan, did you come to amuse me?" Zeng Yulang stood up, pointed at Yan Jinhua, and looked at Grandma Yan.

"At the time of the broken engagement, I didn’t expose her affair with the young prince of the Marquis Mansion. Did you really think I had forgotten about it?"

"This... no, Yulang..."

"I saw with my own eyes, Yan Jinhua and the young prince of the Marquis Mansion opening a room in the inn, fraternizing in there! I am not blind. If I, too, should take a woman like that home, I might as well adopt a river turtle; at least that would be genuinely green, not tainted by others!"

Grandma Yan wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Her granddaughter’s affair with the young prince of the Marquis Mansion had already been revealed by Yulang, and she almost ground her yellowish teeth to powder with anger.

"My God! I didn’t know that the Yan Family had such a scandal!"

"She hasn’t even married, but she’s fraternizing with men in inns. How shameless can a woman be?"

"Not only is she not married yet, initially, Yan Jinhua was engaged to Yulang. She cheated on her betrothed with other men. If we think this through, if Yulang chose to bring this matter to court, Yan Jinhua could be arrested and drowned in a pig cage!"

Outside the courtyard, whispers of the public echoed.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Yan felt dizzy and almost blacked out.

"Old Madam, Old Madam."

The old nanny beside her quickly supported her, calling out to her a few times and only then did Grandma Yan regain consciousness.

"Evil creature! Oh, such an evil creature!"

Grandma Yan sighed softly, not knowing whether she was cursing her own granddaughter or Yulang for bringing the Yan Family’s scandal to light.

Yes, she used to think that it didn’t matter, as long as her granddaughter had ensnared the young prince of the Marquis Mansion, everything she did was right.

And as the Zeng Family had no power in Jian’an City, and no one to back them up if they decided to take the matter to court, they had the means to make them disappear without a trace.

But now... thinking about it, she was full of regret.

"Yulang, Jin Hua was wrong in the past, but can’t you forgive her this once? Look at her, she realizes her mistakes now. If you don’t marry her, how will she ever be able to get married in the future?"

She looked at Zeng Yulang, speaking with a heartfelt plea.

"Don’t look at the monk but the Buddha, for the friendship I had with your grandmother, you should..."

"I really can’t honor the Buddha you’re speaking about, Grandma Yan. If my own grandmother underground knew about the grievance her grandson had suffered, I don’t know if she would crawl out of her grave to find you."

Zeng Yulang interrupted her again, harshly questioning Grandma Yan.

"Moreover, Grandma Yan, would you let your own grandson marry a woman who has tried to harm his wife again and again?"

"This...what are you talking about?"
