The Cao Family's three sons were very upset, wanting to stop their wives but fearing for their unmarried daughters, they dared not intervene.
With a bad family reputation, it affects the marriage prospects of their children, so it's better for the wives to take their daughters back to their parental homes to avoid the scandal.
After the Cao family daughters-in-law left, the three sons were taking care of Cao Juren while trying to salvage the family's tarnished reputation.
However, the gossiping ability of Linhe Prefecture's people was unparalleled, even better than those from He'an Prefecture. Despite the Cao family's attempts to manage the situation, the bad gossip regarding Cao Juren spread more outrageously by the moment.
While the Cao family was overwhelmed by city rumors, Magistrate Shi and his team finally arrested those involved in the Tong Family case.
