Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Old Madam was furious and glared at Madam Liu. “There are so many people coming and going out of the temple. Are you asking me to investigate right here as you want the Lu family’s reputation to be damaged?”

This stupid thing.

Lu Xiang held Old Madam’s hand and smiled nonchalantly. “Since Aunt Liu wants an answer, let’s go back to the room and close the door to ask in detail.”

Madam Liu, you asked for this yourself. Don’t you hug your daughter and cry later.

Did she do it on purpose?

Yes, that’s right!

Otherwise, how could Madam Liu experience the thrill of falling from the clouds to the dust?

Seeing how calm Lu Xiang was, the old lady instantly calmed down. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Lu Mingzhu’s face darkened with jealousy. They were both her granddaughters, but why did the old woman dote on Lu Xiang so much and treat her so indifferently?

She was beautiful, obedient, and sweet-tongued. How was she worse than the arrogant Lu Xiang in any way?

If the old woman liked her, she wouldn’t have stopped her father from taking her mother in as his legitimate wife.

Wang Er was tied up. Old Madam sat while the others stood. Nanny Wen stood outside with the maids to prevent outsiders from peeping.

The old lady’s room was filled with the faint smell of sandalwood. In the middle of the wall of the outer room, there was a white jade statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. She held a bottle in her hand and looked kind. On the incense table, there was an open Guanyin Heart Sutra.

The old lady’s face darkened. Although it was said to be an interrogation, she was so angry looking at Wang Er who was kneeling on the ground, that she did not know where to start asking.

Lu Xiang asked, “What’s the name of the Fourth Miss you mentioned?”

Lu Mingzhu frowned. Damn it, she had forgotten about this question.

However, it did not matter. As long as Wang Er followed Hua Mei’s instructions, Lu Xiang would definitely be in trouble.

“Lu Mingzhu,” Wang Er said firmly.

Heh, the maid who came later was more reliable as she had told him her name. Otherwise, how could he make it seem realistic?

As Lu Mingzhu was thinking, she suddenly heard her name come out of Wang Er’s mouth. She was so shocked that she was dumbfounded. “Grandmother, I’m innocent. I don’t know this person.”

Madam Liu was furious. She rushed up and kicked Wang Er. “Bullsh*t. Mingzhu is the third daughter of the Lu family. Who asked you to slander the third daughter like this? Is it the fourth daughter?” This b*stard was unreliable. Who had he heard the name from? At this moment, Madam Liu was also extremely regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have warned him.

Madam Liu was so angry that she blurted out without thinking.

Aunt Fang’s eyes lit up as she watched from the side. It looked like the matter would blow up.

The Old Madam’s face darkened. She slammed the table and said angrily, “How dare you! How dared you slandered Xiangxiang and said that she would set up Lu Mingzhu without distinguishing between right and wrong. Madam Liu, is your brain filled with grass?” She would never allow anyone to slander Xiangxiang.

The Old Madam glared at Madam Liu with a cold gaze, like an ancient well which carried an indescribable coldness.

Madam Liu immediately realized what she had said and quickly defended herself. “Old Madam, I didn’t…”

Before she could finish speaking, the old lady interrupted her fiercely. “No buts. Do you think that I’m old and stupid? Do I look like I’m easy to fool?”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Madam Liu choked back her words and almost choked to death.

Lu Mingzhu twisted her handkerchief with both hands. Seeing how the old lady was so protective of Lu Xiang, the jealousy in her heart grew immensely.

With hatred in her heart, she suddenly thought of something. Lu Mingzhu turned around and glared at Wang Er. “What evidence do you have to prove that you know me?”

Words alone are not proof. She could not panic.

She asked Hua Mei to give Lu Xiang’s jade pendant to Wang Er. As long as he took out the jade pendant, everyone would know that Lu Xiang was the one who had an affair with Wang Er. At that time, she would be able to prove that Lu Xiang had asked Wang Er to frame her in order to clear her name.

Old lady, take a good look at your beloved granddaughter. See what an indecent person she was.

When Madam Liu heard this, she immediately felt that she could crush Lu Xiang to death again.

When Wang Er mentioned her daughter’s name, it involved her precious daughter’s reputation, so she couldn’t calm down.

“Of course I do,” Wang Er said confidently. “The Fourth Miss was attracted by my literary talent. Although we have never met, we have exchanged several letters. She said that she admired me and wanted me to propose marriage, so she asked a maid to send me her token of love.”

“Where’s the token then?” Aunt Fang quickly asked.

Wang Er twisted his body that was tied up like a dumpling. “Untie me. I’ll show you.”

“Untie you? What if you run away?” Aunt Fang snorted.

The house was filled with either the old, weak, women or children. If this man really wanted to run, who would be able to stop him? It would also be difficult to explain the physical contact that might happen during the tussle.

The drama was far from over. Of course, they could not let him slip away.

“Nanny Wen…” the old lady called out.

Nanny Wen pushed the door open and entered the room. Old Mrs. Wen said, “Go and search if there’s anything in his arms.”

Hearing this, Nanny Wen felt around Wang Er’s chest without hesitation. She was an old woman and was not afraid of being accused of being shameless. No one would believe her if she said that she was taking advantage of a young man.

All the servants standing outside heard what happened in the room. If what he said was true, it would be a huge family scandal.

Soon, Nanny Wen found a jade pendant and her expression changed.

When everyone saw her expression, they could not help but hold their breaths in anticipation.

No one noticed the smile in Lu Mingzhu’s eyes. It was only because there were so many people present that she did not dare to make it too obvious.

As long as it was ascertained that Lu Xiang was having an affair, she would definitely have a good laugh when no one was around.

Nanny Wen retracted her hand and everyone saw a smooth jade pendant lying in her palm.

Exclamations rose and fell.

“Oh my god, there’s really a jade pendant.” Lu Yue gasped and then covered her mouth in mock realization loudly, as if she wanted to see the world in chaos.

Wang Er snorted proudly. “I already said that I know your Fourth Miss. Hurry up and untie me.”

A triumphant smile flashed across Madam Liu’s eyes, but she looked at Lu Xiang in shock. “Fourth Miss, this… this seems to be the jade pendant you often wear.”

Lu Xiang smiled faintly and looked at Madam Liu. Her deep eyes were filled with a force that made one’s heart tremble. “Aunt Liu, Grandmother just asked you to think before you speak. Why are you making the same mistake now?”

“I…” Madam Liu’s face turned green and white after being mocked by Lu Xiang. She was furious.

Lu Mingzhu said at the right time. “Mother, don’t talk nonsense. Fourth Sister is not such a person.”

At this moment, Wang Er was a little stunned. He had never seen the Fourth Miss before and did not know who the mastermind behind all this was. He was at a loss.

In her previous life, before Lu Mingzhu framed Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang had already generously given in to Lu Mingzhu and willingly became the fourth daughter of the Lu family. Therefore, when Wang Er pointed out the fourth daughter, there was no need to mention her name. Everyone merely looked at Lu Xiang without any doubt.
