Madam Tang tightly grasped Patriarch Tang's arm with both hands and asked with a sob, "Master, is what he said true? Was my Wan'er killed by Wan Youhua?"

"I don't know either. Don't worry, ma'am. I'm sure Miss Lin knows. This is probably the reason why Miss Lin insisted on having us come to the Wan family." As the patriarch of the Tang family, he quickly understood the reason.

Patriarch Tang and Madam Tang both looked at Miss Lin at this moment. Lin Dai nodded and said, "Don't worry, the play is not over yet. Let's continue watching it. After watching it, you will understand it completely."

In the hall in front, Wan Youhua and Wan Youwen were arguing non-stop. The head of the Wan family stopped them, warned Wan Youwen with his eyes, and scolded him: "Wan Youwen, you must be responsible for what you said and produce evidence, otherwise don't blame your father for cruelly expelling you from the Wan family."

"Oh, father! Just because I am a bastard, you always favor my eldest brother without knowing right from wrong. Well, today you will have a good look at what good things your good son has done. Don't you want evidence? The evidence is in his room. The mask he wore when he raped the girl from the Tang family that day is hidden in his room. Do you know why he hid the mask in his room and didn't throw it away? Because he felt that it was evidence of his success. He is a despicable and shameless villain."

"You're talking nonsense. Even if there is a mask in my room, what does that prove? There are so many people selling masks on the street, and so many people have masks at home. It doesn't mean that I am the criminal."

"Don't give up yet? Bring the witnesses up." Several gangsters were brought in. Wan Youwen walked over and then to Wan Youhua, looking at him and questioning, "Brother, do you recognize them?"

"A few hooligans, you want them to testify for you, can you believe the words of a bunch of hooligans?"

"Hey, Mr. Wan, although we are gangsters, we are still very trustworthy. We came here today to learn some unknown reasons. At the beginning, you told us that you liked Miss Wan and wanted to pursue her, so you gave us money and asked us to pretend to tease her and then you would come to the rescue. But now we know that you don't like her at all. You just want to win the heart of Miss Tang so as to achieve your goal. How can a hypocritical person like you have the qualifications to call us gangsters?" The gangsters folded their arms, stood up straight, and looked at Wan Youhua with squinted eyes.

Wan Youhua was so angry that he wanted to yell, but the head of the Wan family stopped him and walked towards the gangsters. The gangsters lost their momentum instantly: "Who can prove the truth of what you said? Even if it is true, it is just a way for my son to pursue Miss Tang. It shows that my son really likes Miss Tang. How can this prove that he is deceiving Miss Tang's feelings?"

The hooligans were also confused and turned to ask Wan Youwen: "Wan Youwen, you said that Wan Youhua deceived the feelings of the Tang family girl in order to achieve his own goals, so we came here to testify."

Seeing that things were going in a good direction, Wan Youhua pretended to be very angry and distressed and questioned Wan Youwen: "Third brother, you really put a lot of effort into the position of the head of the Wan family. Big brother treated you well in the past, how could you treat me like this?"

Everyone in the audience blamed Wan Youwen, and Wan Youwen was so angry that he walked to Wan Youhua and pointed his finger at him fiercely: "Wan Youhua, why are you pretending? When have you ever been nice to me and to us bastards? You..."

"Enough, Wan Youwen, have you had enough of your nonsense? Do you still respect me as your father?" The head of the Wan family glared at Wan Youwen and blamed Wan Youwen. He was extremely disappointed with this bastard.

"I'm kidding! Dad, no matter what I do, whether it's good or not, you always side with eldest brother. It's obviously him who did something wrong, but not only do you not blame him, you also help him. Why? Just because he is the legitimate son and I'm a bastard?" Wan Youwen's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and he questioned the head of the Wan family loudly and sadly.

"Let me tell you why." Seeing that things were almost done and it was time for her to appear at the climax, Lin Dai stood up, straightened her clothes, walked forward, and looked at the three fathers and sons of the Wan family one by one. Finally, she said to Wan Youwen, "Wan Youwen, do you want to know why? I know."

The head of the Wan family looked at this ignorant child who appeared out of nowhere and scolded him, "Who are you? It's not your turn to speak for my Wan family."

"Are you sure? Why don't you ask the head of the Tang family." Lin Dai gestured to the head of the Wan family to look at the head of the Tang family below. The other guests also turned around and saw that the Tang couple had come. They were very confused as to why the Tang family came today when the Wan family and the Tang family had always been at odds.

Seeing this, Patriarch Tang explained, "This is my distant niece who came to visit her relatives. But she couldn't see her cousin, so I wanted to ask what happened. Patriarch Wan, do you think the current situation is still your family's business?"

All the guests nodded, thinking that this matter was indeed related to the Tang family, and it was natural for the Tang family to want to know the truth.

Lin Dai looked at the head of the Wan family, smiled mysteriously, and then looked at all the guests: "Everyone, do you want to know why the head of the Wan family has always been speaking for Wan Youhua? Is it really just because he is the legitimate son of the Wan family? Do you want to know?"

All the guests answered loudly: "Yes."

"That's because he knew everything clearly from the beginning to the end. He knew everything Wan Youhua did from the very beginning."

"What? How could this be?" Wan Youwen looked at the head of the Wan family in surprise, and everyone was shocked.

The head of the Wan family's face immediately changed: "How dare you! Although you are related to the Tang family, it is not your turn to talk nonsense here."

"Are you talking nonsense? Let me finish what I'm saying." Lin Dai curled her lips, not taking the head of the Wan family seriously at all. Spiritual energy emanated from her body. The head of the Wan family took a few steps back, shocked in his heart at the powerful internal force. He had no idea that Lin Dai had no internal force at all.

"Well, everyone, let me continue. When Wan Youhua was making an elaborate plan to win the heart of Miss Tang, the head of the Wan family knew about it and found him to warn him to stay away from the Tang family. But Wan Youhua told the head of the Wan family about his plan. After listening, the head of the Wan family just thought about it for a moment and said nothing. Although he did not explicitly agree with Wan Youhua's plan, he did not stop it. Isn't this tacit consent? Moreover, he helped Wan Youhua in this matter. Head of the Wan family, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"Humph, that's nonsense."

"Don't worry, you will admit it. Wan Youhua, let me ask you, that night you and Tang Wan'er agreed to elope together, and Tang Wan'er was waiting for you in the temple, but where were you and why didn't you go?" Lin Dai walked closer to Wan Youhua step by step and questioned Wan Youhua.

"That night, I was discovered by my father before I went out. He ordered people to lock me up in the room all night. I went out only the next day when I heard the servants report that Miss Tang was insulted in the dilapidated temple." Wan Youhua said sincerely and regretfully on the surface, but he hated Lin Dai in his heart.

"Are you sure you were locked in your room by your father for a night?"

"I am very sure."

"You're lying." Lin Dai snorted coldly, and then revealed to everyone: "Do you know how the head of the Wan family helped Wan Youhua? On the night when Wan Youhua and Tang Wan'er agreed to elope together, Wan Youhua claimed that he was discovered by his father and locked in the room. Yes, he was locked in the room, but he was not discovered. It was a play conspired by the two. When the head of the Wan family ordered people to lock Wan Youhua in the room, Tang Wan'er was waiting in the ruined temple outside the city. At midnight, Wan Youhua packed himself up and put on a mask and sneaked out of the room. He did not return to the room until the early morning, so Wan Youhua did not stay in the room all the time."

"You're talking nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove that I went out?"

"Then what evidence do you have to prove that you have never been out?" Lin Dai asked back.

"Of course I have evidence. My servant Wan An can prove that I did not go out all night." Wan Youhua was confident about this. After all, they were his family members. Little did he know that he was falling into Lin Dai's trap step by step.

"Okay, then bring him up and ask him. I want to see how he proves it." Lin Dai looked at Wan Youhua's confident look, but in her heart she was thinking, "Don't cry later."

After a while, the servant Wan An was brought in front of everyone. Wan Youhua immediately pulled him over and asked impatiently: "Wan An, tell everyone, was I locked in the room by my father on the night when Miss Tang and I agreed to elope?"

"Yes, it was the master who asked me to lock the young master in the room."

"So I stayed in the room the whole time and never went out?"

"No, young master, you forgot that you went out for a trip." Wan'an asked the young master with a puzzled look, wondering if the young master was forgetful.

"Wan'an, what nonsense are you talking about? Think about it carefully. I mean, on the night when Miss Tang and I eloped, was I locked in the room all night? Think about it carefully." Wan Youhua stared at Wan'an, motioning him to think it over before speaking.

"Young Master, I remember very clearly that you went out that night. I remember it particularly clearly because you were wearing a strange mask at that time." Wan An said with certainty, which made Wan Youhua so angry that he slapped him.

"Wan Youhua, what else do you have to say? You asked your own people to come. You can't say it's a coincidence? The mask is a coincidence, these thugs are a coincidence, and going out in the middle of the night is also a coincidence. So many coincidences."

Facing Lin Dai's aggressive questioning, Wan Youhua was completely panicked: "Yes, yes, it's all coincidence, all coincidence."

"Humph, Wan Youhua, you really won't give up until you get to the Yellow River. Then let me tell you again why Miss Tang decided to jump into the river to commit suicide. It was not because she was insulted by the gangster, but because she knew that the gangster was you."

"How is that possible? You're talking nonsense. I didn't do that." Wan Youhua was still struggling desperately.
