Lin Hanyan was about to make a decision when a man with magnetic presence suddenly came in.
"Han Yan, is what she said true?"
The people in the yard turned around and saw Huangfu Zhenlou standing at the gate with a grim face. It was unknown how long he had been standing there.
"A town hall?"
Lin Hanyan was flustered for a moment.
Fortunately, she calmed down quickly.
"Zhenlou, don't listen to her nonsense. How could I possibly like Ye Shaoxuan? He..."
Before Lin Hanyan finished explaining, Ye Ningshuang suddenly shouted, "Lin Hanyan, I swear to heaven that I have never told a lie, or I will be struck by lightning, do you dare?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes fell back on Ye Ningshuang. At this moment, their hearts began to beat fast.
Miss Ye even swore that she would be struck by lightning, so...
In ancient times, people believed in ghosts and gods and in retribution. Oaths such as being struck by lightning were considered the most poisonous oaths.
Lin Hanyan didn't expect Ye Ningshuang to be so ruthless. She didn't know how to react for a moment, but her face looked quite ugly.
This reaction made everyone believe Ye Ningshuang even more.
Huangfu Youlan stared at her in astonishment: "Sister Hanyan, how can you be with my brother and... you are really going too far."
She always thought that she was the most worthy of her eldest brother and shared all her little thoughts with her, but she didn't expect that she was such a fickle and two-faced person.
Huangfu Youlan's face looked ugly, not to mention Huangfu Zhenlou, who looked extremely ugly.
Lin Hanyan panicked and waved her hands to deny it: "I didn't, I really didn't, I..."
Huangfu Youlan said angrily, "Then you should also swear an oath, swearing that you have never told Ningshuang that you like Young Master Ye, and have never thought of marrying him."
Lin Hanyan felt aggrieved and angry, and wished she could kill Huangfu Youlan immediately.
"I don't need to swear any oath. I, Lin Hanyan, didn't do it. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I have a clear conscience."
"Youlan, I know you like my cousin. Don't worry, I won't compete with you for him. I like Zhenlou. The relationship between my cousin and I is just brother and sister."
Huangfu Zhenlou took a step forward, his eyes no longer filled with anger as before: "Really?"
"Since you don't believe me, why are you asking me?" Lin Hanyan turned her head away coldly.
"Go away, and don't come to see me again. I don't want to see you again."
Huangfu Zhenlou immediately regretted it: "I..."
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I believed the rumors and hurt you. I apologize to you. Don't be angry."
"I promise you that I will never believe rumors easily again, and I will never doubt you again."
Huangfu Zhenlou made the assurance with a guilty look on his face, and the people around him gradually began to believe Lin Hanyan.
Ye Ningshuang was both angry and anxious, but because she was anxious and also because she was not good at speaking and had a straightforward personality, she didn't know how to defend herself for a moment.
"Hehe, if you only liked Huangfu Zhenlou from the beginning to the end, and you and Ye Shaoxuan were just siblings, then why did you refuse when Madam Ye proposed to marry you to Ye Shaoxuan? And instead you looked so shy?"
Su Qiao watched the show outside the yard for a long time and had no intention of showing up, but he didn't expect that even after all this, Lin Hanyan could easily save the situation.
She had no choice but to appear at the gate of the courtyard, fanning herself and smiling.
"You think everyone else is a fool!"
