Ji Chunlu looked at Wen Jiaojiao and said, "Explain to me, why did you sneak into the Ji family's backyard alone when all the guests were having a banquet in the front hall?"

Wen Jiaojiao: “…”

She was speechless because the person in the video was not her. She had no idea why the other person pretended to be her and sneaked into the backyard.

Lan Yin coughed lightly, trying to cover up the explanation that almost blurted out, which was because Wen Qingya said she wanted to go to the bathroom in this room.

During her last birthday party, she didn't even enter this room and had no idea what was inside. It was not until she entered this time that she discovered that it was a small home theater, probably a place for the Ji family to have fun and relax. Most importantly, there was no bathroom in this room.

She seemed to have caught a glimpse of the truth of the matter, but now as a bystander, she couldn't say a word.

Ji Chunlu was still pressing Wen Jiaojiao, but Wen Jiaojiao just lowered her head and said nothing, just like she did in countless ordinary days.

Ji Chunlu was furious: "Don't think I can do nothing to you just because you don't say anything."

Wen Jiaojiao then raised her head and said expressionlessly, "I won't say a word until Qingya comes back."

Although the person in the video was not her, she knew Wen Qingya too well. No matter who the person in the video was, he would definitely stay with Wen Qingya all the time.

So in this video, Wen Qingya must have been nearby and not captured.

Now she didn't know the situation and couldn't say anything. Even if she really didn't steal anything, saving herself seemed weak and pale under the power of these dukes. Only the Wen family could save her.

Because the Wen family still needs her spirit.

Ji Chunlu said again: "Wen Qingya's life or death is unknown now. If she never comes back, and you keep silent for the rest of your life, can you deny the fact that you stole?"

Wen Jiaojiao's face was expressionless. "I'm from the Wen family. Why did you, the Ji family, arrest me? I just took advantage of Qingya's absence. But don't forget, Qingya is missing now because she saved you."

Seeing that Wen Jiaojiao was unwilling to speak, Ji Chunlu was so angry that he blurted out: "Don't use Wen Qingya to pressure me. She is the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and I am also the eldest son of the Ji family. How much more noble is she than me?"

Wen Ling couldn't help but sneer at this time: "Miss Wen is still capable, and you are just a young master of the Ji family who depends on Lan Beibei."

"You..." Ji Chunlu's face flushed, and then he retorted: "Isn't Wen Qingya also Lan Beibei's fiancée?"

Both the Wen family and the Ji family chose Lan Beibei. How could Wen Qingya be more noble than Ji Chunlu?

"I can call off the engagement, and I can divorce after I'm married. I'm Wen Qingya first, the Wen family second, and finally Lan Beibei's fiancée."

A familiar voice came from outside the door, followed by a familiar figure coming in from outside the door.

It’s Wen Qingya.

Wen Jiaojiao immediately called out as if she had found her backbone: "Qingya."

Wen Qingya was still wearing the same clothes she had worn when she entered the Hopeless Grassland. Her blue uniform was stained with the juice of the green grass.

Despite this, her bright eyes and upright posture did not look awkward at all.

Everyone's eyes in the room instantly stayed on her. In the dim audio-visual room, she seemed to have a bright spotlight on her.

Baby Blue excitedly stepped forward and took Wen Qingya's hand: "Qingya, you are finally back. I knew you would come back safely."

Wen Qingya sneered, "Of course I have to come back. If I don't come back, how would I know that someone took advantage of me, saved my life, and bullied my family while I was away?"

Ji Chunlu's expression suddenly turned grim. "Why are you bullying someone from your Wen family? We in the Ji family really lost something."

Wen Qingya asked back, "If something is lost in your Ji family, it's because your family members can't keep it safe. What does it have to do with my family members?"

Ji Chunlu pointed at the video in the air: "But the video shows that only Wen Jiaojiao entered the Ji family's backyard on the day of the birthday party!"

Wen Qingya took a step forward and asked Ji Chunlu in a pressured tone, "So? Did you film Wen Jiaojiao stealing something?"

Ji Chunlu shook his head: "Although not..."

Wen Qingya quickly interrupted him: "Since it wasn't filmed, it can't be used as evidence. Don't you have any brains?"

After being scolded, Ji Chunlu didn't dare to say anything, but just silently cast his gaze at Lan Beibei who was standing beside him.

Lan Beibei noticed Ji Chunlu's pleading gaze and gave Wen Qingya a seemingly gentle smile. "Qingya, what did you mean by 'last will be my fiancée'? We're already engaged and we're a family. It's really a bit strange for you to say that."

Wen Qingya said calmly, "It means exactly what it says."

She was tired of cleaning up the mess for this mediocre-minded fiancé. Last time, she was blamed for the princess's incident, and this time, Hopeless Grassland used her safety as a pretext.

Anyway, she has already got what she wanted. Does she really think that Wen Qingya must be with Lan Beibei?

And one stupid one is enough, but he also needs an even stupider follower.

Lan Beibei gave an awkward smile and changed the subject, "Qingya, you just got back. Why don't you go home and wash up and rest for a while? You look a little dirty."

Wen Qingya didn't even look down at her clothes. Instead, she frowned and said, "I came here to take my family back. Do you want me to go back empty-handed?"

Lan Beibei explained: "That's not what I meant. I'm mainly worried about you."

Wen Qingya fired at full force: "Why didn't you worry about me when you left me alone in Hopeless Grassland?"

Lan Beibei: “…”

He made a look at Ji Chunlu.

Ji Chunlu gritted his teeth and continued, "Miss Wen, there's no need to be so angry. Aren't you back safely now?"

Wen Qingya laughed in anger, no longer wanting to communicate with the two people: "Get out of the way, I want to take Wen Jiaojiao back to the Wen family now."

Ji Chunlu stood in front of Wen Jiaojiao and refused, "No, unless Wen Jiaojiao returns the stolen items to the Ji family."

Wen Ling couldn't bear it any longer. How could anyone in one of the Four Dukes' Mansions have someone as stupid as Ji Chunlu? "You keep saying you lost something. What exactly was it? Something that would cause the Ji family such a fuss to find it can't be just ordinary gold, silver, or jewelry, right? Tell us what it was, and we'll know for sure whether Wen Jiaojiao stole it or not."
