The second young master of the Lian Family was envious of the Huang Family's withdrawal from the engagement and falsely accused them, repeatedly claiming that Huang Jingshan's poor conduct forced the Lian Family to end the engagement.
He even went around Yan Guan Town to spread the news.
While he was spreading the rumor, he was caught red-handed by Gu Taohua, who put a sack over him and took him to the Huang Family.
The matter of withdrawing from the engagement caused quite a stir. Though most people knew the fault lay with the Lian Family, Huang Jingshan's reputation was also ruined.
It was rumored outside that Huang Jingshan was jealous and intolerant even before marriage; which respectable family would dare marry her when a concubine would just be an obstacle?
Mr. Huang was so upset over the rumors about his daughter's jealousy that he hadn't eaten properly for days, worrying about her future marriage.
However, Huang Jingshan was calm and composed.
