Listening to the laughter around her, Mrs. Chang's forehead veins throbbed and she knew that this reason was somewhat untenable, but she still spoke with her neck stiff.

"If it weren't for someone from your house doing this, how could such a coincidence happen in the world? My daughter offended you at the palace banquet, and right after you made those harsh words, my master got beaten up!"

She wanted to call, but it was too late. But now she understood why Master Chang had been promoted to such a high position in the Princess's Mansion for several years.

Mu Qingli looked at her and shook his head slightly, a flash of sympathy in his eyes. It was obvious that there were too many idiots in the family.

She thought about it and finally had the energy to discuss this matter with her, "Madam Chang, your daughter often speaks without thinking, which is fine, but you are also an official's wife, can't you think before you speak?

Everyone in Beijing knows that I just returned to Beijing, and my grandmother is far away in my hometown. There are only three of us at home, my mother, my brother and I. If someone in our family can enter and leave your house as if it were no one's home, then don't you need to replace the guards of your house?

Even if we don't mention this, as you said, the person who offended me was your daughter. If I sent someone to beat her up, why didn't I beat her but your master instead? Doesn't this sound very contradictory?

Or did you two mother and daughter receive orders from someone to throw this basin of dirty water on my head?"

She had solid reasons and kept a calm voice when explaining the matter to her. Her calm demeanor made her seem more convincing.

Qilan and Qixue watched their daughter perform with a smile. Seeing that Mrs. Chang could no longer kneel, they let go and stood back beside the girl.

Now even the onlookers around couldn't help but nod in agreement and join in the support.

"That's right. Which of these wealthy families doesn't have a bunch of guards in their house? I heard they even have shifts. How could they get beaten in their own house with so many people guarding it? Then what kind of guards do you have?"

"That's right, your guards are too unreliable. Madam Chang, instead of making things difficult for a little girl, why don't you go back and replace your guards?"

"Hahaha, change it quickly. Who knows, your master might get beaten up again in the mansion someday. What will you do if there's no one to frame him?"

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that General Mu's daughter had to leave the capital to recuperate because of Princess Hui'an's serious illness. I didn't expect them to start causing trouble again just after the little girl returned."

"How could this fragile-looking girl possibly do such a thing? The people who framed her seem even more arrogant and domineering."

Chang Yun watched as the other party solved the dilemma with just a few words, feeling anxious and angry, and couldn't help but point at her and yell.

"Why are you pretending? You must have hired someone to beat up my father. You said it in the palace at the time. Jinghua is a big city and there are many families that have been in trouble. Who else could it be if not you? Don't you even admit what you said?"

Qilan was a fearless person, and she was already furious seeing the mother and daughter opposite her framing her daughter.

He also sneered with a sullen face, "Miss Chang, how dare you repeatedly cause trouble for my daughter? I don't know who is writing love poems and complaining about it every day in the boudoir. Isn't this exactly why you are targeting my daughter?"

If they hadn't seen the Chang family members always jumping around out of curiosity and secretly checked, they would never have known that Chang Yun was so ambitious that she even dared to covet their future son-in-law.

"Ah~ No wonder Miss Chang bribed our maid to tamper with my daughter's clothes last time. It turns out it was because you liked Gu..."

Qi Xue cooperated very well and covered her mouth with a cry of surprise, but only uttered her last name. However, the unfinished words made people even more curious.

When Chang Yun heard the word "love letter", she was stunned as if struck by lightning and almost fainted.

There were only two words left in my mind, circling over and over again: It’s over!

She clearly wrote and destroyed each love poem, so how could she let others know? The Mu family must have planted someone in her room. How dare they do this!

Little did they know that Mu Qingli really didn't know anything about love poems. He glanced at the two girls and said nothing, only complaining in his heart.

As expected, no matter whether a man or a woman is beautiful to a certain extent, they are very attractive. Fortunately, her husband is not the type of person who likes to flirt with other women.

The people of Beijing loved to watch the excitement, and at this moment they all gathered together and whispered to each other.

"Goodness! Now, the ladies of Beijing are learning to write love poems before they're even engaged? What would happen if their future husband's family found out?"

"That's right. If my daughter dares to be so useless, I will break her legs."

"You even bribed the maid to tamper with her clothes. Isn't this a clear attempt to ruin the girl's innocence? So it's all because of a man?"

Seeing that the topic around her began to deviate and people were talking about her daughter, Mrs. Chang's expression suddenly changed.

Finally, he glared at Mu Qingli and his master and servant and didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly pulled his daughter away from the scene, and even regretted it when he left.

Seeing that the girl from the Mu family was always straightforward, she thought of pretending to kneel down to the other party and using public opinion to step on her and the Mu family, so that the reputation of their family could be restored.

But she had never expected that her two maids would react so quickly, which made her knees not bend at all. The feud turned into a joke in their house and even involved the Princess's Mansion.

Seeing them leave, Mu Qingli did not stop them. Instead, he raised his hand and bowed to the people around him to express his gratitude, looking as if he was feeling wronged but he would not say anything.

"Thank you all for speaking up for our Mu family. If you hadn't been so perceptive and not been deceived by their lies today, I'm afraid that after Madam Mu knelt like this today, I would have had no choice but to hang myself tomorrow."

She deliberately exaggerated the situation to make it sound serious, weakening her own guidance and making the people believe that what they were doing was right. Many people even came out to comfort her.

The master, his servant and his two companions thanked each other and got on the carriage to set off again, leaving only the onlookers who were still chatting with each other.

But no one noticed that the curtain of a carriage that had been parked not far away was slightly lifted, revealing a pair of deep eyes.

After a while, the curtain was lowered and the carriage quickly left the place, leaving behind only a light laughter in the wind, which was hearty and pleasant.

"I never thought there were so many interesting people hiding in Jinghua. Life is getting more and more interesting."
