Chapter 514 Will I Listen to Slander?

Zhen Huailin thought that Madam Lin's rescue of him from the heavy rain and bringing him home was their first encounter.

Little did he know, Madam Lin had recognized him long before then.

That year, after he failed the imperial examination, he was returning to his village in dejection when he encountered a heavy rain with nowhere to take shelter. His body was growing cold, and just as he was about to collapse, it was Madam Lin who appeared. She took off her outer garments to wrap him up and called for someone to save him.

Because Madam Lin held him to keep him warm, it resulted in a damaged reputation for her, but he was grateful to Madam Lin, thinking of her as a kind and gentle savior sent from heaven, so he boldly proposed marriage.

To his surprise, Madam Lin did not despise his poverty and married him.
