Hence the men sent their wives and daughters away. The head monk watched everyone leave and his heart felt like it had been set on fire, these officials were the ones who did the most of the charity. Now that they were no longer willing to trust the temple what would happen to them? They need to suppress this matter, no matter what!
However, the efforts of the head monk were simply useless as there was no way that such a matter could be suppressed. By the next morning, the news of this matter was spread all over the city, the reputation of the temple took a deep plunge and so did the Lai family.
The Lai family had gained even more infamous names, while the men in their family were turned into frivolous beasts who did women in front of everyone. In the eyes of the decent women, the Lai family men were shameless and not worthy of them while those who were looking for fun started to scheme how to get close to the Lai family men.

Women despised the men of the Lai family and the men laughed at them for becoming a joke.
The very next morning, three to four families returned the betrothal gifts of the Lai family. These families were very satisfied with the match that they had set months ago but after such an incident popped out, they could no longer marry their daughters off to such a fire pit. A man molested a married woman in a temple in front of everyone?
What kind of nonsense was this, if someone were to find out that they married their daughter to such a woman then they would be embarrassed and humiliated to the last extent!
One of these men was Old Madam Lai\'s biological grandson, he was set to marry the daughter of an official after a very long pursuit but now all of a sudden his efforts were gone and so was his marriage.
It was a good thing that the women of the Lai family knew how much the Lai family was worth it or else they would have long asked for a divorce. If this was what their men were taught then who knows what might happen to them? Where would they put their faces if their husbands humiliated them like this?
Some of the women however still felt disgusted with such a thing happening, they all had become a joke. Surely, the women in their friend circle would now stop talking to them.
However, if they thought that this matter was the end, they were wrong. Once Fourth Lai\'s incident was aired, his thug-like actions, his tyranny of kidnapping, killing and torturing the poor also aired.
The other sons of the Lai family were also not left behind. The fact that the Eldest Master of the Lai family once poured poison into the drink of his friend only to force the wife of his friend to become his concubine was also aired out loud.
Once this matter rose to the air, the entire Lai family\'s reputation went down the drain once more. Now everyone started to sympathize with the women who were ruined by the Lai family.
At the Lai house, Fourth Lai was woken up by Eldest Master Lai who was brimming with anger. First, he poured water on his half-brother and then slapped him a few times before waking him up. It was bad enough that he acted like a good for nothing all day long but now he even ruined their family\'s reputation. What was more he ruined his reputation! He was the master of the Lai family after Qi Zhen!
Now that his reputation was ruined, even his son\'s reputation was ruined.
When Fourth Lai woke up, he was kicked and punched by his brothers, which startled him.
" What? What\'s the matter?"
" Whats the matter? You did not accomplish anything good and you only ruined everything! You have brought disgrace to the family do you even know that ?"
Eldest Master Lai was so furious that he wished he could kill this man. The only reason he could not get the position of the master of the Lai family was because of that incident from his past, where he poisoned his friend and took his wife as his concubine.
That was one of the darkest secrets of his that he tried to suppress for a long time but now it aired out again!
Eldest Master Lai was really furious as he snapped at Fourth Lai, " Make sure that you marry that Ding woman and then you can fend after yourself as you like."
Fourth Lai was stunned, but then the memories from last night started to come back and he was horrified.
He remembered what happened last night and could not help but hate Madam Ding. That woman really played him well!
How dare that woman scheme against him like this? Was she not afraid of his retaliation?
" I will kill her!" Fourth Lai screamed as he pushed his body off the bed, he was about to charge out of the house when he was stopped by Old Madam Lai who shouted at him, " What nonsense? Who are you killing? Do you want to kill someone despite knowing that all eyes are on you?"
