Lin Family's Crisis; Encounter with Antagonist's Fate!

Gu Lan had a favorable impression of this scholar.

At the age of hard study, he understood and cared for his family, spoke elegantly, was humble, and seemed to embody the qualities of a scholar in this world.

Since they parted at the entrance of the government office that day, several months had passed in the blink of an eye. He didn't expect him to end up in such a plight!

"This doesn't make sense. With the business dealings my wife and his siblings did before the New Year, it should be enough for a living. How could they be in such a sorry state?"

Gu Lan was puzzled. He slowly got up, instructed Old Yang to continue drinking, and went over to take a look.

At this moment, urged by the shop assistant, Lin Lu hadn't left yet. Instead, he walked over with some hesitation and whispered a few words. It seemed to be something embarrassing, as he spoke hesitantly.
