The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Without waiting for Lu Xiuzhu to leave, Xie Zhichan asked another question: "Although there are many guests coming and going in your house today, I am very curious, how did a beggar sneak into the house? How did Aunt Qiu shout that the person in the room must be me without seeing anyone in the room?"

These two questions have clearly told everyone that it is the Lu family who is setting up this conspiracy.

After all, Lu Xiuzhu was a newly crowned top scholar with extraordinary intelligence, and he quickly figured out the key: there were many guests in the mansion today, so he specially asked the steward to increase the number of patrols in the mansion; Nanny Qiu was a person in the grandmother's room, and she always worked only for the grandmother.

So, it was his grandmother who set up this trap to ruin his fiancée's reputation, but - why was this done?

He really wanted to turn around and ask his grandmother, but he didn't dare. There were so many ladies watching here. If he also questioned his grandmother, the women present would directly confirm that it was his grandmother who did it.

He could only stand there stiffly, not knowing how to react. He moved his lips, but still didn't know how to answer Xie Zhichan's two questions.

Madam Lu's expression instantly turned very ugly. She didn't expect this girl to be so perceptive. Her questioning was equivalent to exposing the matter to everyone present.

These people are all smart people, how could they not figure it out?

But she suppressed her anger and said to Xie Zhichan, "Sister Chan, you have indeed been wronged in this matter. There are so many things going on in the mansion today. A moment of negligence allowed the bad guys to take advantage of the situation. I will punish the housekeeper. As for Aunt Qiu, she is Qiao'er's mother. She is very clear about who Qiao'er serves in the mansion. I will also punish her for not being steady enough and slandering her. If you insist on getting to the bottom of it, why not let Zhuge'er go to the front yard to entertain the guests, and let all the ladies go away. I will have someone arrest Qiao'er and Aunt Qiu, and we will go to the Chanwu Hall, apply for the family law, and call everyone in the mansion to let you ask clearly, how about it?"

Xie Zhichan couldn't help but admire the old lady's skill, but she was not so easy to control, and he didn't want to flatter her, so he sneered: "Madam Lu, you have already done things to this extent, why do you have to beat around the bush with me now? In fact, I know what you want in my heart. If you discuss it with me properly, I might feel a little wronged. If you do it as you wish, it will be good for you, me and everyone. But you insist on using some tricks in the harem to calculate my life and property. I am a girl from the Weiguo Mansion and I am not easy to bully."

Lu Xiuzhu moved his lips, wanting to persuade Xie Zhichan to stop talking, saying that his grandmother was not that kind of person, but he just couldn't open his mouth.

When Xie's mother heard this, even though she was not familiar with the affairs of the harem, she now understood that the Lu family was actually directing and acting in this matter. She was immediately angry and said, "Madam Lu, even if this matter is investigated behind closed doors, the reputation of the Lu family will not be much better if it gets out. It is better to make things clear while everyone is here. You, the Lu family, should give Sister Chan an explanation for this matter."

At this moment, Old Madam Lu felt as if she was being roasted on the fire by Xie Zhichan and Xie's mother. She didn't know where to put her old face. She felt that within half a month from today, the laughing stock of Kyoto would probably be about their Earl's Mansion in Chiayi.

She couldn't help but said in a cold tone, "It is said that the eldest daughter of the Xie family was sent to the farm to be raised, and she is rude and disrespectful. Today it seems to be true. I have already made such a request, but you are so aggressive and even dragged your mother along. You must make everyone laugh at my Lu Mansion! Don't forget that you will marry into the Lu Mansion in the future. What good will it do you if the Lu Mansion becomes a joke?"

Xie Zhichan smiled contemptuously and said, "Are you still pretending to be confused, old lady? Do you really want me to marry into the Lu Mansion? If so, there wouldn't be this drama today, right?"

Seeing that Xie Zhichan was eager to break all the windows, Mrs. Lu was angry and scared. She almost couldn't breathe and almost fainted.

Lu Xiuzhu lowered his eyelids, looked at Xie Zhichan and begged: "A Yuan——"

Xie Zhichan looked at Lu Xiuzhu and said, "Master Lu, do you also want me to seek so-called justice behind closed doors for the sake of your Lu family's reputation?"

The coldness in his eyes made Lu Xiuzhu feel pain in his heart.

"I--" He didn't know what to say. He didn't dare to look into Xie Zhichan's eyes. At this moment, he could only lower his head.

He couldn't figure out why his grandmother did this, and didn't know how to defend her, so he could only beg Xie Zhichan, "A Yuan - please stop talking -"

Xie Zhichan only met Lu Xiuzhu once in the garden, but he had guessed Lu Xiuzhu's character, weak and indecisive. If such a man was caught between his wife and mother-in-law, he would be a peacemaker.

If she wanted to cancel the engagement today, she had to take another drastic measure, so she ignored Lu Xiuzhu's plea and said, "Then go to Jingzhao Prefecture and report to the authorities, and let Jingzhao Prefecture investigate what happened. Although the one who was harmed and lost her innocence in this matter is you, the maid in the mansion, and the Lu Mansion can choose not to pursue you, but I am the one who was verbally insulted for no reason, and I cannot help but investigate."

When Madam Lu heard this, she immediately recovered from her dizziness. She had guarded the Lu Mansion for so many years, and now half of her body was buried in the ground. She even let her family go to court because of the privacy of the backyard. How could she face the master in the underworld?

She immediately pushed away the nanny who was supporting her, pointed at Xie Zhichan's nose and cursed: "Well, the daughter of you Duke of Wei's Mansion is really good! My Lu Mansion is a small temple that cannot support a big Buddha like you! Now that the marriage has not been concluded, you have already developed a grudge against my Lu Mansion, and you wish that the Lu Mansion would be trapped in the spit of the capital! In this case, it is better to cancel the engagement!"

The word "break off the engagement" was exactly what Xie Zhichan wanted. She thought to herself that we were finally getting to the point of today.

After hearing this, Xie's mother hesitated again and quietly reached out to pull Xie Zhichan's clothes, suggesting that she should just forget it.

The reason she was brought back was because of her status as the new number one scholar. If this marriage didn't happen, Ayuan would probably be sent back to the farm, and her life would be ruined.
