When Sheng Junwei said this, there was a hint of mischief in her eyes.

Chen Jinghao's face turned red and white, and finally he asked fiercely: "You sent someone to investigate me?"

Sheng Junwei smiled lightly, with a sly light flashing in her eyes: "Before today, I had never even met you. Why would I bother to check you out, someone who has nothing to do with me?"

Although she had indeed not investigated Chen Jinghao, she had heard about his affairs.

After all, he is one of Han Yueer's craziest pursuers. Even though he knows that Han Yueer has someone in her heart, he still acts as her protector wholeheartedly and is even willing to go against the whole world just to please Han Yueer.

His connections and wealth are resources that Han Yueer can use at any time.

Seeing Chen Jinghao's current appearance, everyone understood that what Sheng Junwei said was definitely not groundless.

Everyone stared at Chen Jinghao with a look of surprise, doubt, and even a bit of undisguised contempt.

Chen Jinghao could feel the strange looks from those around him, and said with dissatisfaction in his tone: "What are you looking at? They are just some broken toys, not rare treasures. Do you have to look at me like this?"

He stared at Sheng Junwei fiercely, trying to suppress her with his eyes, "Don't try to change the subject! How can my trivial matters be compared with you breaking up other people's marriages and snatching away their loved ones?"

Sheng Junwei's expression remained unchanged, and a calm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she had already expected Chen Jinghao to fight back.

She took it in stride: “I’m just stating the facts.”

Chen Jinghao was so angry that his face turned red. He rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to rush over to beat Sheng Junwei.

Upon seeing this situation, several cousins ​​of the Zhang family quickly stepped forward and avoided a conflict.

Facing Chen Jinghao's intimidation, Sheng Junwei remained calm and composed, "Your father, Chen Ze, is a poor boy from the countryside. Although his family is poor, he is extremely smart. When he was fourteen years old, he and his neighboring village got married according to the marriage agreement, and they had their first child not long after the marriage."

"Your father had high aspirations and was unwilling to work hard on the land all his life. After getting married, he discussed with his wife and the elders on both sides and decided to try to do some small business to change his fate."

Fortunately, your mother and your grandparents were very understanding and fully supported him. They scraped together five taels of silver for him as start-up capital. With the five taels of silver in his pocket, he headed for Linhai City alone, full of expectations. "

"In the blink of an eye, he went from being a nobody to a well-known figure in the city. When he made enough money, his first thought was to repay his family. He kept some of the money for business and used the rest to buy a house. The house was not only a symbol of his roots in Linhai City, but one night, he excitedly wrote a poem called "Linhai Residence"."

Chen Jinghao's face froze for a moment.

There was indeed a poem hidden in his father's study, but it was not hung on the wall like other calligraphy and paintings, but was kept in a wooden box like a treasure.

"How do you know this poem?" Chen Jinghao's voice trembled a little.

This poem was like a well-hidden secret, lying at the bottom of his father's box.

If he hadn't secretly seen it out of curiosity in his childhood, he wouldn't even know about it now.

Sheng Junwei did not answer his question, but just shook her head slightly.

"It would be nice if the story ended here. But life is never as it should be. Not long after our family moved to Linhai City, your father accidentally saved a poisonous snake."

Although Sheng Junwei did not mention anyone by name, Chen Jinghao immediately understood that the "poisonous snake" she was referring to was his mother.

"You are the real snake!"

However, Sheng Junwei was not moved at all, and just calmly continued to tell the old story that was buried by time.

"As a royal merchant family, the Mo family has a noble status and powerful influence. Although the eldest daughter of the Mo family cannot compare with those famous families in the capital, she is definitely a character that small merchant families in Linhai City dare not easily provoke."

"The eldest daughter of the Mo family happened to run into bandits while she was out one day, and your father risked his life to save her. From then on, she was completely devoted to your father and secretly fell in love with him. But your father only had his wife at the time in his heart, and no matter what tricks the eldest daughter of the Mo family used, he always stuck to his original intention."

"In order to avoid Miss Mo's entanglement, he also planned to take his wife and temporarily leave Lingyang, hoping that time would dilute everything."

"But the day before he was about to leave, his wife and son suddenly disappeared."

At this time, Sheng Junwei's eyes fell on Chen Jinghao.

Chen Jinghao instinctively wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, they were stuck in his throat.

"Don't rush to refute me. I haven't finished speaking yet."

Sheng Junwei sighed softly, as if she could see through Chen Jinghao's thoughts. "Your father initially suspected that they were kidnapped, and even pointed the finger at Miss Mo. But all the clues and evidence show that Miss Mo and her men simply did not have the time to commit the crime."

"Your father was so worried that he traveled all over the country for half a year, but there was no news at all. But just when he was about to collapse, the news came..."

Someone witnessed his wife quietly leaving Linhai City with a strange man, holding an oil-paper umbrella.

After Chen Jinghao's father learned about this, he drank all day to drown his sorrows. But Mo stayed by his side all the time. In the end, Chen Ze was moved by her deep affection and soon had a son, Chen Jinghao.

However, this seemingly set story turned out to be completely different in Sheng Junwei's mouth.

"You are all wrong. Aunt Mo doesn't need to do those things herself. She is the eldest daughter of the Mo family. If she wants to achieve her goal, there will naturally be countless people willing to do it for her."

Chen Jinghao was very emotional when he heard this: "Impossible! You are talking nonsense! You are maliciously slandering my mother! How could she do such a shameful thing!"

He was furious and tried to break free from everyone's obstruction. He rushed towards Sheng Junwei and questioned her about her ulterior motives.

Pei Yu, who was standing by, was quick to grab Chen Jinghao and issued a stern warning to Sheng Junwei: "Say less! Aunt Mo is so nice. If you keep making up these unfounded stories, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Facing the accusation, Sheng Junwei raised her chin slightly and responded calmly: "Mr. Chen, if you don't believe it, go to No. 20 Jinma Street and take a look. The answer is there, no need to say more."

Yunying stood aside, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Miss, isn't this inappropriate for the original wife? After all, she is also an innocent person implicated."

At this moment, despite the colorful flowers at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, everyone set out on the journey to Jinma Street together.

Chen Jinghao was determined to expose Sheng Junwei's lies and clear his mother's name.

Pei Yu and the Zhang family chose to go together out of their desire to protect Sheng Junwei and their curiosity about the truth.
