Seeing Chen Xiyao accept the apology gift sent back by her grandfather, even if she was slow, Zhou Huaian knew the deep meaning behind it. Looking at the disappointment in his grandfather's eyes, he suddenly knelt down and stepped forward, grabbing the corner of Zhou Zheng's clothes: "Grandfather, I know I was wrong. I don't want to break off the engagement. The child is not my child. You believe in me." After being with that woman, he always asked her to take medicine. How could she get pregnant?

"Tsk~" Master Chen Wu said with disdain.

Zhou Zheng felt ashamed: "Zhou Huaian, do you still want to quibble?"

"Grandfather, please believe me~~~" He told Zhou Zheng about giving the woman medicine.

Zhou Zheng's expression remained the same. He didn't say anything to forgive or disbelieve Zhou Huaian's words, but his eyes were looking at Master Chen San.

After all, Zhou Huaian is the grandson that Zhou Zheng has his eyes on. Unlike his father who is not very smart, he is quite clever.

He saw Zhou Zheng's gaze and understood what Zhou Zheng meant.

Although I felt ashamed, my grandfather always said that if you want to achieve great things, you should not be fussy about small details, so I made decisions without thinking too much.

He knelt down like this, walked to the feet of Master Chen Sanye on his knees, grabbed Master Chen Sanye's feet, and begged: "Brother San, please believe me again, everything I said is true~~" Then facing Chen Xiyao, he suddenly grabbed her hand and hit him hard in the face, crying while hitting him: "Hit me, hit me hard, I really know I was wrong, I will listen to you from now on."

The attitude of admitting mistakes is so sincere.

But Chen Xiyao just felt disgusted. She pulled her hand away coldly: "Mr. Zhou, please respect yourself."

Zhou Zheng squinted his eyes and watched the scene, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Huaian stole a glance at his grandfather. His grandfather did not stop him, which meant that he agreed. Zhou Huaian was delighted. He endured the humiliation of a woman and prepared to use the same trick again.

Master Chen San stretched out his foot to block him:

"Mr. Zhou, this kind of thing cannot be decided by you alone."

Liu Yushi said, "Third Master, since Master Zhou said so, how about this, if the child is not Master Zhou's, we will give him a chance. If he is, we don't need to mention this matter again and just pretend it never happened."

"In order to avoid any mistakes, I will ask Doctor Su to come and take care of the pregnant girl. What do you think, Mr. Chen San?"

These words immediately stopped Zhou Zheng from saying what he was about to say.

Anyway, the child is still in the belly, and there is no way to prove whether it is really his grandson. Originally, he wanted his grandson to insist that the child is not his, to prove that the child is not his. Then if an accident happens, everything will be solved.

Uncle Chen San did not answer immediately, but asked Zhou Zheng: "Teacher, what do you think of my wife's suggestion?" Although he was asking Zhou Zheng for his opinion, his face showed that he was very satisfied with the proposal.

Zhou Zheng's eyes swept over Mr. Chen San and Liu Yu in front of him. Are they so sure that the child is An'er's?

But why?

He could only think of one possibility, that is, early in the morning, the couple discovered that An'er had an affair with that woman, and deliberately helped to save the child for today.

Is that really the case? Using Chen Xiyao's reputation to set up a trap is not like his student's style.

Although someone gave Chen Xiyao proof today, she still felt that there would be some strange voices. People all believed that there is no smoke without fire and flies don't bite seamless eggs.

The woman's reputation will be damaged, and the rich and powerful families are unwilling to marry such a woman.

But before he could figure it out.

Zhou Huaian has already agreed: "Okay, as you said, as long as it is proven that the child is not mine, I will not cancel the engagement."

Mr. Chen Sanye and Liu Yu remained silent.

To others, it is considered as a default.

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes. His years of experience in officialdom told him that there was no future for Zhou Huaian and Chen Xiyao.

As expected of Zhou Zheng, all his guesses were correct. The matter of the child was indeed arranged in advance by Liu Yu, otherwise she and Mr. Chen Sanye would have known what Zhou Huaian was doing outside but pretended not to know.

But even if that woman lied to them and this child was not Zhou Huaian's, Liu Yu would still call this child Zhou Huaian's. In the harem of her previous life, she heard of a secret method. Even if they were not biological children, as long as they were in water and something was added, the blood could be fused together.

So, from today on, the relationship between Chen Xiyao and Zhou Huaian is over. What she gave was not an opportunity, but an end.

Zhou Zheng had nothing more to say and agreed.

Later, Zhou Zheng asked Master Chen San what was the plan for him to return to the court. Master Chen San said that Liu Yu was not fully recovered yet and the time had not been decided, so he took his family and left.

After leaving Zhou Mansion and returning to Chen Mansion, Chen Xiyao had never felt so relaxed. She looked at her brothers with gratitude and knelt down in front of Master Chen San:

"I'm sorry, brothers. I was too willful. I got engaged to the Zhou family and caused so many problems."

Mr. Chen San did not ask her to get up: "Since you know you are wrong, don't do such stupid things again. You have paid the price this time."

Liu Yu felt distressed and wanted to help Chen Xiyao up.

Chen Xiyao shook her head. Even if her friends didn't blame her, she couldn't get up.

Everyone tried to persuade him, but to no avail, so they all left.

After coming out, without waiting for Mr. Chen San to ask, Liu Yu took the initiative to go to the street with him, and met Zhou Huaian outside, having an affair with a woman. After returning, he asked someone to investigate and found out that Zhou Huaian had played with women, and sold out the servants in the yard where Zhou Huaian hid the women, in exchange for the medicine the women took.

As for the child, it was actually the girl who was ambitious. When she discovered her, she had already been pregnant for several months, and her appearance was just a natural result.

This explains why the child and they discovered that Zhou Huaian was having an affair with a woman and the timing didn't match.

Although Mr. Chen San knew everything she had done, when she told him in person, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared.

"Everyone has to make their own choices. Xiyao has paid a heavy price this time."

Mr. Chen thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll tell this to my mother and ask her to persuade him."

Liu Yu smiled and nodded.

She was right. The next day,

The news that Zhou Huaian and Chen Xiyao had broken off their engagement was spreading all over the capital. Although it was Zhou Huaian's scandal that was exposed and there were countless insults against him, among these insults, there were also those that mentioned Chen Xiyao.

First, it was rumored that Chen Xiyao was suspected of having an adulterer, then it was rumored that Chen Xiyao did have an adulterer, and finally it was rumored that Chen Xiyao exposed Zhou Huaian's affair in order to be with her adulterer, otherwise, after being engaged for so long, it would be impossible for her not to have discovered that Zhou Huaian was hiding a woman outside.
