Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 14: Slander Drama (3)

Su Yue stared at the golden hairpin in Han Qi's hand with wide eyes, her face full of unspeakable helplessness and speechlessness. Taozi, who was standing by, was furious. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush forward to scold him, but was stopped by Su Yue in time. Qiuzhu saw that the lady would not let her go forward, so she could only stare at Han Qi with a stiff face.

Su Yue's mind was as clear as a mirror. She knew that this was clearly a big trap! The other party just wanted to catch the handle of their master and servant. Thinking of this, Su Yue felt a wave of irritation surge in her heart. She couldn't help but sigh heavily, and then slightly adjusted her sitting posture to make herself sit more comfortably.

Then, she fixed her eyes on Han Qi, saying nothing, just staring at him quietly. At this moment, Han Qi was already so nervous that he was sweating all over, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. Seeing Han Qi's face pale and legs shaking with fear, almost falling to the ground, Su Yue suddenly turned around and looked at the people around her, and said leisurely:

"With just a tattered hairpin like this, let alone ten boxes, even seven or eight boxes would be more than enough! Could this be the so-called token of love? In my opinion, this thing is probably just a small item I gave him as a reward after he helped me accomplish something."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yue shifted her gaze back to Han Qi again, and asked with a smile: "Am I right?" Su Yue gave Han Qi a chance to change his words, but it was up to him whether he could seize the opportunity or not.

Beads of sweat kept appearing on Han Qi's forehead and sliding down his cheeks. He was so nervous that he was at a loss, his lips trembling slightly, but he didn't know how to explain the situation. In the end, he knew that the Third Young Lady gave him a chance to change his words, but he couldn't. He just repeated the sentence: "The Third Young Lady and I are in love... This hairpin is used to rent a house..."

With every extra word, Han Qi's body trembled more violently, as if a gust of wind could blow him to the ground. Su Yue looked at the trembling man in front of her, wondering whether it was because his master had given him huge benefits or because someone else had some leverage over him that made him so scared. If he followed her words, it would be nothing more than a farce, and it was hard to say who would live and who would die.

Su Yue turned her gaze towards the Second Master who was sitting in the upper position opposite her, her eyes full of resentment and confusion, and asked softly: "Second Master, I believe I have no grudges against you in the past or in the present, so why did you instruct your servants to spread rumors and slander me?" There was a hint of sob in her voice, which made people feel pity.

The third master, who was watching the fun from the side, suddenly realized that he was involved in the incident and panicked. He stood up quickly and said anxiously: "My third niece, please don't misunderstand me. This has nothing to do with me!" As he spoke, he walked up to Han Qi like a gust of wind and shouted: "Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?" Then he kicked Han Qi, who was kneeling, to the ground.

Han Qi collapsed to the ground, looking at the Second Master with horror in his eyes, and tremblingly said, "No... no one ordered me to do this. It was really the Third Young Lady who gave it to me..."

How could the Second Master believe his lies? He kicked him again, "How dare you be so stubborn! If you don't tell the truth, I have plenty of ways to make you live a life worse than death!"

At this time, Han Qi tremblingly took out a bellyband from his arms, as if holding some rare treasure, and tremblingly handed it over, saying softly: "This is given to me by the Third Young Madam..." How dare he mention the token of love? This Third Young Madam was very different from the rumors, and she didn't seem to be easy to mess with. It was still unknown whether he could save his life today!

Su Yue glanced at the bellyband, then glanced at everyone. The Third Madam stared at her worriedly, the Second Madam had a look of contempt and gloating on her face, Cheng Yingzhi, who was standing behind the Marquis's wife, could not hide her excitement, and the Eldest Madam had a look of reluctance on her face, as if Su Yue was going to die in the next second.

Su Yue turned to look at Taozi and asked, "Who took my clothes?"

Taozi was so shocked when she saw the bellyband that she stood there like a half-stuck log. She came to her senses when she heard the young lady's question and answered tremblingly, "It has always been Chenxiang and I who have been collecting them...but Chenxiang doesn't know how to collect them. The young lady was sick these few days and Chenxiang was not here. I was too busy, so I asked Xiaocui to collect them the first few times. After Chenxiang came back...it was Xiaocui..."

"Why are you so anxious? Just go find Xiao Cui and ask her and you'll know." Su Yue was not panicked at all, but she was annoyed. These things happened one after another, which was really annoying. Did these people really think they could do anything to her? They didn't know how to stop when they saw the good and stop when they were satisfied. In today's situation, no matter what, it was impossible to do anything to her, but the commotion lasted for a long time and it was really annoying.

Qiu Zhu walked out quickly to call Xiao Cui, because she was worried about other people going. The room fell into a dead silence again, making the people present dare not even breathe easily.

Su Yue glanced at Qin Yi boredly, fiddling with the teacup in her hand nonchalantly, then cast her eyes on Han Qi who was half paralyzed on the ground, and asked with a smile: "I am interested in you. Are you good at writing poems or singing lyrics?"

Han Qi had never expected that the Third Young Lady would have the leisure to chat with him at this moment, so he replied tremblingly: "Reporting to the Third Young Lady, I know nothing about literature."

"Oh? So you are good at martial arts?" Su Yue continued to ask.

Han Qi sincerely hoped that he could disappear from this world immediately. He knew that if he spoke too much, he would lose. Every extra word he said seemed to cut another wound on his body, but he had to answer, "To answer Third Young Madam, I don't know martial arts at all."

Hearing this, Su Yue couldn't help but chuckle: "So, you have neither literary talent nor martial arts skills, and your appearance is even worse than the Third Young Master's. So what do I like about you?" Han Qi secretly complained in his heart, thinking, how can I know! He could only humbly respond: "Slave... really don't know."

Su Yue: "Ha, then you must be gifted, big and good at sex, huh?" The corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a hint of teasing smile. However, this sentence hit everyone present like thunder.

Especially the third master, who was holding up the teacup to taste the fragrant tea, shuddered when he heard this, and the tea in his mouth instantly gushed out, turning into a mist that spread out. He widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment, and thought to himself: This niece-in-law is too bold!

Han Qi was embarrassed and at a loss at this moment. His face flushed red, as if blood could drip out. Facing Su Yue's straightforward words, he had no idea how to respond. He could only stand there blankly, not knowing where to put his hands.

"I...I don't know..." He didn't quite understand what the Third Young Lady said, but the implication made him tremble with fear. At this moment, Qiu Zhu led Xiao Cui in. Su Yue didn't even wait for them to greet her, and asked directly: "You are Xiao Cui, right? Han Qi said that you gave him my bellyband, is that true?"

Su Yue asked the question so directly, without giving them any hint or time to prepare. Xiao Cui was so frightened that she trembled all over and was at a loss for a moment. She really couldn't figure out why Han Qi would involve herself in this, and in panic she could only deny it again and again: "No, no!"

However, Su Yue did not intend to give others a chance to speak, and immediately asked: "Then could it be that Han Qi stole it privately?" Xiao Cui had no time to think, and answered casually: "Yes, it was Han Qi who stole it."

Su Yue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and looked at everyone in the room with a smile.
