Lin Daming originally guessed that Shi Wen instigated her daughter to fall into the water because she herself had taken a fancy to Ying Xiucai and wanted to use this to establish a connection with him. Her jumping into the water was to gain a reputation for bravely saving a friend.
This guess was infuriating, but with no evidence and uncertainty about the truth, he couldn't say much.
But he didn't expect there was a deeper reason behind this. According to his daughter, Shi Wen not only wanted to scheme against his daughter for a good reputation but also wanted to match her daughter with her cousin Qin Cheng?
He knew the situation of the Qin Family well, as he was a pork seller, interacting with many people daily. The topics his neighbors discussed were varied, and many involved Qin Cheng. Plus, the Qin Family had some relations with the Shi Family, seeking help like borrowing money during tough times.
