After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium
Chapter 44 Counterattack
Su Wan continued, "This jade chain was a token of my love that my husband gave me when we first met. He also promised me that day that he would paint a portrait of me if we met again."
Su Wan learned from her spies in Haitang Garden that her whereabouts had been exposed, so she began to plot. She sent someone to follow Qin's men, but unexpectedly, he found a man. Su Wan understood the plan and went along with it.
Wen was already so shocked that she couldn't speak. Erlang had never taken her seriously, so how could she secretly marry him?
Su Wan continued, "If you don't believe me, you can look at the intersection of the jade rings. It's engraved with my husband's name. I can also ask my husband to verify it. And I also want to ask this person, since this gift is so noble, and you say you're poor, where did you get the money?"
The man panicked when he heard this, "I."
"My mother-in-law has evil intentions. Otherwise, we should hand her over to the government office for investigation."
Qin Shi was immediately flustered when she heard Zheng Yanchen was being called in for a confrontation. Even Chengfeng didn't know about this, and Linglong had already inquired about it, revealing it wasn't a gift from Su Wan's family. Liushang's answers were also cryptic. So, she was trying to make a fuss about it. Could it be that Su Wan had deliberately revealed it?
Seeing Qin looking at her in shock, Su Wan turned to look at Linglong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Let me ask you, who told you to peek at my things? Who told you to slander me?"
Linglong has been panicking since the beginning, "I don't have any?"
"No? You go to Begonia Garden every few days. Are you going there to exchange feelings?"
When Linglong heard this, she was shocked. It turned out that Su Wan had discovered her whereabouts over the past two days?
"You know me well. I can be soft or hard. If you tell the truth today, I will forgive you. But if you insist on doing this, don't blame me. I know you are a good kid, but you must have had no choice. Tell me and I will forgive you."
When Linglong thought of Qiaohui's previous situation, her face turned pale as paper.
She stammered, "Yes, it's Madam Zeng." After all, Qin was the young lady and there was a possibility that she could escape punishment, so she had to think about the future.
When Madam Zeng saw the fire reaching her, her head suddenly started buzzing.
Su Wan turned to the man again, "I have never met you before, yet you dare to collude with people in the palace to frame me. Well, do you really think that I, the wife of the Duke's Mansion, am just a decoration? Then go to the government office."
The man in purple was also panicked after hearing this. He looked at Qin suddenly and saw that Qin's face was also full of surprise.
Qin Shi had been certain Su Wan wouldn't dare go to the government office because her whereabouts were a mystery. Could she withstand the investigation? She was probably playing hard to get. She was about to explain something to Wen Shi, but then she heard the man say, "The man who came to me said he was Madam Zeng's man. He threatened me to do this. If I don't do this, my whole family might be dead!"
Qin and Madam Zeng froze, while the purple-robed man pondered. Though the young lady had been feeling somewhat aggrieved throughout, she never seemed anxious, as if every move had been leading up to this moment. Su Wan must have come prepared. So, no matter what, if he could help her, would she spare his life in the end? After all, the fact that Qin had taken the initiative to use this incident to harm others showed she was of low character and would never tolerate him. Therefore, Su Wan was the safer option.
Thinking this, the purple-robed man crawled towards Su Wan again and said, "Young Madam, please understand. How can I, with my insignificant influence, withstand their threats? I can now testify that it was that nanny who wanted to harm you, Madam."
Su Wan turned to look at Qin, "Sister-in-law, how did you become so stupid now? You were actually bewitched by a servant."
Qin saw the man and Linglong kneeling on the ground, trembling, and confessing to the nanny. The nanny was a member of her garden, and this matter concerned Su Wan and her own reputation, so she would be implicated no matter what.
Qin's face turned grim, and she stepped forward to kick Linglong, "You bitch, who told you to frame me like this? Tell me!"
Linglong immediately retreated in fear. Qin then looked at the purple-robed man and said, "What benefit did Su Wan offer you? Did she promise to run away with you, or did she promise you wealth and glory, only to have you ruin my reputation?"
Facing Qin's counterattack, the man in purple didn't dare to look up, but just lay on the ground trembling.
Su Wan found it very funny to see Qin's desperate scene. Only when she was involved in the matter could she experience the despair of others.
Nanny Zeng's face turned pale at this moment, and she refused to admit it for the sake of her life.
"Young Madam, Young Madam." Nanny Zeng choked and pulled the mad Qin.
Su Wan turned to look at Wen Shi, who squinted at the scene before her. Wen Shi hadn't imagined that Zheng Yanchen had given her this thing, but now that she was so certain of it, she felt it was true. But if Zheng Yanchen were to come, she and Qin Shi would be the ones to suffer from this farce. Wen Shi was truly troubled.
She looked at Aunt Zeng and asked, "Did you do this?"
When Qin heard this, she knew that since the nanny had started to be punished, the spearhead was naturally directed at her. As the nanny knelt on the ground with a thud, Qin also knelt down.
"Madam, I didn't do that. I just overheard the maid say that and started to suspect me. Otherwise, it must be that the maid had some thoughts that she shouldn't have." She then looked at Qin and said, "Madam, please help me explain. I really didn't mean to harm you."
Liu Shang, who was standing aside, snorted and said no, she was the one who shouted the most actively just now.
"If my sister-in-law had acted honestly, there would have been no misunderstanding." Qin said with a grim expression, "Mother-in-law, but what my sister-in-law did is too mysterious, and it is bound to arouse suspicion."
Su Wan sneered, "Sister-in-law, you're such a jokester. I just opened a shop, but how come you're calling it secretive? According to your logic, wouldn't anyone in this world who has their own ideas and doesn't want to make things public be considered a wicked person? Sister-in-law has been deceived and is trying to smear my innocence. If this happened to someone else, how would you handle it?"
Su Wan continued, "Now that the truth is out, sister-in-law is still here making excuses. Do you think I'm easy to bully, so you want to pin this trumped-up crime on me? Don't forget, in this world, the truth prevails, and it's not just the loudest voice or the most unreasonable person who is right. If sister-in-law still wants to continue to act like a spoiled brat, I don't mind asking the elders of the clan to judge and see if your unwarranted slander of others' innocence is in line with our family's teachings!"
Upon hearing this, both Wen and Qin were shocked. Wen hadn't expected Su Wan to be so arrogant, even asking the family elders for help? Did she really have no shame? Even if she might be wronged, it would be embarrassing if it got out.
"But since this thing was given to you by Zheng Yanchen, why are you keeping it a secret and wasting our time?" Wen said unhappily.
"My daughter-in-law just wants to find out who is spreading rumors. This is also for the sake of the situation in the Duke's Mansion." Wen choked and could no longer complain.
"Right now, it seems that this Madam Zeng is a big trouble. My mother-in-law likes to be quiet now, and this matter is directed at my daughter-in-law, so please let me handle it."
