After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

Before Qin Suyu arrived at the Fourth Prince's mansion, she faintly felt a strange aura.

She walked lightly, but she did not expect that the moment she stepped outside the mansion, a follower's hand suddenly reached out and picked up her shoe.

Qin Suyu was startled and her brows furrowed. She subconsciously covered her nose. The indescribable stench was like an invisible devil's claw, tightly gripping her mind.

"Miss Qin Er, these are your shoes."

There was a hint of disgust in the attendant's voice, and he threw his shoes lightly, as if getting rid of some unclean object.

Then he hastily backed away as if he were facing a plague, and the door slammed shut behind him, echoing in the empty courtyard.

Qin Suyu's personal maid, who had been following behind her, was also shocked by the sudden stench and turned pale.

She couldn't help but dry heave, and then she realized that the strange smell she smelled before was not the smell of a rotting animal corpse, but the foot odor emanating from her own lady's expensive shoes.

Qin Suyu's face darkened and she glared at the maid angrily.

The maid's heart tightened, fearing that she would be punished, so she had to suppress her nausea and dared not make another sound.

However, the stench was so strong that she was helpless and could only dry heave while picking up Qin Suyu's shoes. Together with Qin Suyu, they fled the suffocating mansion in a panic and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

The next day, the rumor about Qin Suyu's smelly feet spread quickly in the Qin Mansion like wildfire.

For a young woman who is known for her beauty and temperament, such comments are undoubtedly a huge blow.

Qin Suyu felt so ashamed that she hid in her boudoir all day, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Qin Shizhao was also furious after hearing the news.

He immediately ordered someone to bring Nanny Liu, who was Fang Rushuang's close attendant and had always had a bad relationship with Qin Shizhao.

Facing Qin Shizhao's questioning, she pretended to be confused and asked back: "Master, what's the matter?"

Qin Shizhao's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Did you spread the news about Yu'er?"

Nanny Liu felt nervous, but she had been in the mansion for many years and had already learned how to deal with various situations.

She deliberately raised her voice and said, "Oh, Master, you mean the second young lady's smelly feet!"

There was a hint of teasing in her words, as if she was mocking this sudden rumor.

The other maids and servants in the room almost laughed out loud when they heard what Matron Liu said.

But in front of this majestic head of the family, they could only hold back their laughter and try to recall the saddest thing in their lives to suppress the smile on their lips.

Qin Shizhao was furious when he saw his servants' reactions.

He shouted sternly, "You still dare to quibble?! Come here, Nanny Liu dared to slander the master, expel her from the mansion!"

When Matron Liu heard this, she immediately panicked.

Although she usually likes to spread gossip and stir up trouble, she was not the one who spread the news about Qin Suyu's smelly feet.

She only knew about this from hearing about it from other maids and old women.

Facing Qin Shizhao's anger at this moment, she hurriedly explained: "I really didn't spread this matter, Master, you can't wrongly accuse me!"

There was a hint of fear and reluctance in her voice, but in the face of such irrefutable evidence, her defense seemed so pale and powerless.

Qin Shizhao's gaze was like a knife, stabbing straight at Nanny Liu.

He knew very well that Madam Liu was from Fang Rushuang's courtyard, and the prejudice in his heart was like a vine that had taken root and was difficult to remove.

What's more, Nanny Liu's disrespectful attitude just now made him more convinced that the rumors spreading throughout the mansion must have been caused by this mean servant.

"Normally, your mouth is like the wind by the river, blowing everywhere and stirring up discord. Now that rumors are spreading everywhere, who else could it be if not you?"

Qin Shizhao's voice was low and cold, like the north wind in the cold winter, biting and chilling.

Madam Liu's face froze, and then she shouted at the top of her lungs, "I am Madam's trusted confidant, you cannot torture me at will, I want to see Madam!"

Her voice echoed in the empty courtyard, carrying a hint of despair and unwillingness.

Qin Shizhao sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. "As the master of the Qin Mansion, and you are a lowly servant, I have the right to decide whether you stay or go!"

His words were like a hammer, hitting Madam Liu's heart hard.

His eyes became cold and resolute, and he gestured slightly to the servant beside him.

The servant understood and immediately stepped forward, grabbing Madam Liu like a cheetah and preparing to drag her away.

However, at this moment, a clear and firm voice rang out: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone turned around and saw Fang Rushuang approaching. Her appearance seemed to bring a touch of warmth to this cold courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Madam Liu was overjoyed. She prostrated herself at Fang Rushuang's feet, crying, "Madam, you are finally here! I have been wronged. I beg you to see clearly and seek justice for me!"

Her voice was full of pleading and expectation.

Fang Rushuang glanced at Qin Shizhao, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes.

Qin Shizhao snorted coldly and said to Rushuang, "Madam, this evil servant dared to slander the young lady of the mansion with her outrageous words. If she is not expelled from the mansion as a punishment, I am afraid that other maids and servants in the mansion will follow suit. What a disgrace that will be!"

Fang Rushuang frowned slightly, turned to Madam Liu and asked, "Madam Liu, what exactly did you slander the Second Young Miss about?"

Matron Liu hurriedly defended herself: "I didn't do that. I definitely didn't spread the news about the Second Miss's smelly feet. I am innocent, Madam!" Her voice was full of anxiety and innocence.

Fang Rushuang looked at her, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.

Nanny Liu had followed her for many years, and she knew what she said was true just by the tone and expression of her voice.

So, she turned to Qin Shizhao and said, "Master, Nanny Liu claims that she is innocent. Why not punish her after the facts are investigated? Why rush to expel her from the mansion?"

She paused and continued, "Besides, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on others. If Yu'er didn't have smelly feet, how could others make up stories about her?"

Her voice was calm and firm, as if she was stating an indisputable fact.

Qin Shizhao was speechless after hearing what she said. He could only glare at Madam Liu and signal the servant to take her away.

However, Aunt Liu seemed to see hope. She kowtowed repeatedly and shed tears of gratitude.

At this moment, everyone heard a scream, and then a figure rushed back to the room quickly.

When everyone looked over, they saw that Qin Suyu's face was pale and her eyes were filled with tears. It was obvious that she could no longer endure it.

She covered her face and ran back to her room, leaving the whole house filled with astonishment and discussion.

Qin Shizhao's face was like the dark clouds before a storm, and his anger almost overflowed from his eyes.

He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that his daughter could help him advance in his career, but the current situation made him extremely anxious.

Fang Rushuang appeared unusually calm in the face of her husband's anger.

There was a firm light in her eyes, and although her voice was cold, it revealed her unquestionable determination: "Master, this matter involves a lot of things, so let's put it aside for now and discuss it later."

After saying this, she flicked her sleeves, turned around and left with Madam Liu, her steps firm and calm.
