Seeing her hesitation, Lin Ran said in a serious tone, "Madam Gu, to be honest, I now have solid evidence that the fire in the Gu family temple was not an accident, but was deliberately set by someone, and the arsonist pretended to be your daughter!"

Madam Gu's body shook violently. She grabbed the corner of the table and asked anxiously, "What about my daughter? Where is my true love?"

Lin Ran replied: "There is a charred corpse, it must be her!"

Mrs. Gu could no longer bear it, her vision went dark, and she fell forward.

Lin Ran saw the opportunity quickly and immediately ordered someone to support her.

Madam Gu quickly calmed down. After taking a few quick breaths, she said in a hoarse voice, "Master Lin, can you let me go ask her first? You guys just stay outside. If anything goes wrong, just rush inside, okay?"

Lin Ran did not refuse. After all, the entire Gu Mansion had been surrounded by people he sent, and no one could escape.

Mrs. Gu quickly calmed down and returned to the backyard. She forced a smile as she entered the house and saw Mrs. Hu wiping her tears with a smile.

She asked calmly, "What happy thing are you talking about?"

Mrs. Hu said subconsciously: "My silly son really picked up a treasure. I never expected Lan Xin to be so considerate. I'm going to snatch your little cotton-padded jacket away now. Don't blame me."

Madam Gu's eyes couldn't help but turn cold. This little bitch who appeared out of nowhere was actually trying to curry favor with Madam Hu. She definitely had no good intentions.

Then let her reveal her true colors quickly and see how she can keep pretending!

She immediately said, "Let's exchange the engagement letter first. I suddenly can't remember your birth date, Lan Xin. Tell mother quickly!"

Chen Xiyue, who originally had a smile in her eyes, was suddenly stunned. She didn't know Gu Lanxin's birth date.

How can this be good?

Before she could think any further, Madam Gu was already impatiently pressing her: "What? You can't possibly not even remember your own birth date? Mother has a bad memory, don't you?"

She stammered, "Mom, there's something I forgot to tell you. When I was at the ancestral temple, a beam accidentally hit my head. I was so dizzy at the time that I can't remember some things!"

Mrs. Hu immediately held her hand and said, "If you don't remember, then don't remember. It's not a big deal. Can't you just ask your nanny to tell her about it?"

Mrs. Gu's tears suddenly flowed, and she cried, "Her wet nurse was burned to death in the ancestral temple. If she doesn't remember, then no one in this world will know. Without the engagement letter, this marriage can only be called off!"

Chen Xiyue immediately became anxious. How could this be possible?

She also wants to use the Gu family as a stepping stone to marry into the Minister of War's Mansion. The Hu family is powerful and can make her road to revenge smoother.

She said in a trembling voice, "Mother, you really can't remember? Haven't you always wanted to see your daughter marry well? Besides, I'm your flesh and blood. How can you bear to watch me give up my happy marriage?"

Mrs. Gu burst into laughter, and her crazy look frightened Mrs. Hu.

She said nervously, "What's wrong with you? Just say whatever you want to say. I'm here to marry into your Gu family, not to play a guessing game!"

Madam Gu pointed at Chen Xiyue and said word by word: "She is not my daughter at all, she is an arsonist!"

Chen Xiyue's eyes suddenly widened, and she said angrily, "Mother, how could you say that to me? Whose provocation did you listen to?"

Mrs. Hu also chimed in: "Yes, why did you go out and not even recognize your own daughter? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Madam Gu said in grief and anger: "Well, since you say you are my daughter, then take off your veil and let me see your face!"

Chen Xiyue explained anxiously: "I put some medicine on my face. I'm afraid it will scare my mother-in-law and mother. Can't I show it to you when I'm better?"

Mrs. Gu turned a deaf ear and raised her hand to grab it.

Before Chen Xiyue could dodge, the veil had already fallen into her hands.

Seeing her face covered with black ointment, Mrs. Gu felt her blood boiling.

I still can't tell who she is?

Mrs. Hu's face turned gloomy and ugly. She said impatiently, "What are you doing? I never thought you would be so crazy that you wouldn't even trust your own daughter. Regardless of whether she remembers her birth date or not, I will recognize her as the daughter-in-law of the Minister of War. You should prepare the dowry and send her off in a grand ceremony!"

Chen Xiyue stammered with tears in her eyes: "Mother-in-law, don't be angry with my mother. She must have been upset by something and that's why she treated me like this. She will be fine!"

Mrs. Gu was almost going crazy with anger, but this evil woman in front of her was still pretending to be hypocritical!

Did she think she could really marry into the Minister of War's Mansion as she wished?

Don't even think about it!

Thinking of this, Madam Gu immediately shouted, "What are you still standing outside for? The arsonist is right in front of us. Come in and catch her!"

By the time she finished shouting, Lin Ran had already rushed into the house with his subordinates.

He said indifferently: "I'm doing business at the Dali Temple!"

Mrs. Hu's face suddenly changed. She didn't expect that people from the Dali Temple were already waiting outside.

As the wife of an official, she knew better than anyone that whenever the Dali Temple came to arrest someone, it meant they had solid evidence.

Presumably, this Miss Gu in front of me really has committed a crime.

She immediately said, "Since I'm here on business at the Dali Temple, I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, he was about to leave quickly.

Lin Ran blocked her way and said, "Mrs. Hu, please stay. I'd like you to be a witness!"

Mrs. Hu smiled awkwardly: "What testimony?"

Lin Ran said quietly: "Catch the witness of the arsonist!"

At this time, Chen Xiyue had forced herself to calm down from the panic. Although she was caught off guard by the Dali Temple's visit, she was certain that they had no evidence at all.

Now the real Gu Lanxin has been burned to charcoal. Who knew that she would be Mrs. Gu’s biological daughter?

No matter what method is used, it cannot be detected!

She said sarcastically, "Has the Dali Temple become so arrogant now that it can inadvertently accuse innocent people?"

Lin Ran said slowly, "Do you think there's no way to examine the body since it's been burned to charcoal?"

Chen Xiyue retorted, "Can you test it?"

Lin Ran shook his head: "Really? But we can verify it with a living person. As long as we can prove that you and Madam Gu are not biological daughters, isn't that enough?"

Chen Xiyue froze. She had never expected this.

She reminded Madam Gu anxiously, "Mother, you can't agree to his ridiculous idea, otherwise where will the reputation of our Gu family be?"

Madam Gu glared at her with hatred: "You are so afraid of being verified, are you guilty of something?"
