The merchant's rebirth led to the complete downfall of the Marquis's mansion.

Upon hearing Jiang Su's words, everyone except Qin Yao's group changed their expressions.

Some people have even started criticizing Qin Yao.

"What a misfortune for our family! If we let her into the family, the Jiang family's century-old reputation will be ruined in an instant!"

"Yes! How could the Qin family raise such a woman!"

"A woman who exchanges letters with a man before marriage should be drowned in a pig cage!"

……

Jiang Su was quite satisfied with the current situation, but just to put on an act, he still had to look heartbroken in front of Qin Yao.

"Yaoyao, I never thought you were this kind of person, actually with a servant..." she said, turning her head away as if she were very sad.

Ha! If he hadn't been talking about himself, Qin Yao would have believed it.

"Young Master, what is this? What are you talking about?" Qin Yao looked at him, puzzled.

“Yes! The young master can’t just take out some things and try to convict our young lady!” Zhao Mama chimed in.

"Hmph! They won't shed tears until they see the coffin!" Jiang Su handed the letter directly to the clan chief.

The clan chief then distributed the food to the people next to him.

"It says 'To my benefactor' on the letter. Although no reply was written, you should be able to read your own handwriting!"

Jiang Su continued:

"It is also because my Marquis's mansion misjudged people that we encountered such a harlot! Today, I ask everyone to bear witness that Qin Yao is unworthy to be the heir's wife of the Marquis's mansion, and is not fit to be the mistress of the house!"

"However, considering our past relationship, I can allow you to enter the manor as a concubine!"

"As for this servant, leave him to me to deal with! That was also a condition for you to enter the manor."

Jiang Su finished speaking with great pleasure, as if he were enjoying the prospect of victory, but he soon realized something was wrong.

Because none of the people he brought supported him!

Qin Yao, in particular, showed neither fear nor apprehension.

Instead, he looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot. Jiang Su was furious and wanted to say something more, but the clan leader behind him interrupted him.

"Your Highness has misunderstood! It is clearly this Miss Xia who is having an affair!"

"What?" Jiang Su turned his head in surprise.

This surprised not only Jiang Su, but also Qin Liu, who had been forced to kneel on the ground. He raised his head in surprise.

"It's outrageous, absolutely outrageous! Who is this Xia Qiutang woman? How dare she so blatantly write such obscene things!"

An auntie threw the letter away, her face contorted with disgust.

Jiang Su hurriedly picked up the letter from the ground, and his eyes widened after reading its contents.

"This...how is this possible?!"

"Xia Qiutang? Why does that name sound so familiar?"

Qin Yao looked at the aunt who was speaking, and sure enough, the name sounded familiar! It was her who had been spreading rumors lately!

"Give it to me! Impossible, it must have been switched!" Jiang Su shamelessly snatched the items from his uncle and aunt's hands.

Then he pointed at Qin Yao, "It must be you! You framed Tang'er, you vicious woman."

Jiang Su has long since lost his elegant gentleman persona and has revealed his ugly side.

His eyes were wide open in anger, bloodshot, and his face was contorted with rage.

Qingzhi and Qiuliu stood in front of Qin Yao, watching Jiang Su warily.

"Miss," Qin Liu looked at Qin Yao, "these letters were all given to me by you!"

"Slap!" Master Lin, who was prepared in advance, slapped him across the face and then had someone gag him.

Master Lin didn't believe it at first, thinking that he was just confused for a moment. He didn't expect that his words would put the young lady in an unjust position.

Granny Zhao stepped forward and unleashed a torrent of abuse on Jiang Su:

"Your Highness is extremely rude! You brought the person, you told the story, you were the one who investigated the items, and you found the letter. Now that the truth is out, you're turning around and accusing me. What's wrong with you?"

"Is the young master determined to pin this crime on my young lady today?!"

It was inappropriate for Qin Yao to step forward at this moment, so she hid behind them and wiped away non-existent tears with a handkerchief.

"I! I didn't..." Jiang Su looked at the letter in his hand, utterly unable to defend himself.

What did he say? That he faked the items and that he personally placed them there?

Just then, Jiang Su suddenly had a flash of inspiration and changed the direction of his finger, pointing at Qin Liu on the ground.

"It must be him!"

"It's him! Yao Yao is clearly my benefactor, yet the letter says she's having an affair with Miss Xia! It must be him, forging the letter to ruin Miss Xia's reputation!"

Jiang Su reacted quickly; unable to pinpoint Qin Yao, he decided to distance himself from Xia Qiutang.

But who would believe that?

The group of people behind him shook their heads.

"The facts still need to be investigated and clarified. Isn't it too early for Prince Jiang to make such a judgment so quickly?"

Granny Zhao rebuked him without any politeness, immediately assuming that the young lady was immoral upon hearing that she was a young lady.

Now that the target has become Xia Qiutang, she should be cleared of suspicion immediately.

Their minds are completely clouded by their biases; no wonder the young lady suddenly gave up.

They must have suffered a lot at the hands of these two scoundrels before they finally realized what had happened.

Granny Zhao didn't like any of these people, so she immediately started to chase them away.

"Alright! This whole blunder is finally over. The Qin family has some family matters to attend to, so we won't see you off!"

Originally, everyone came just to go through the motions, and that was indeed the case, but Jiang Su's outburst made everyone lose face.

Everyone looked displeased, but they couldn't lash out because they were in the wrong.

The clan chief stroked his beard, his gaze towards Jiang Su carrying a deeper meaning. However, since Jiang Su was family, he still had to protect him to some extent.

“Young lady of the Qin family, this matter was not considered properly by your nephew, the young master. Your nephew, please apologize to the young lady of the Qin family.”

With the clan chief speaking, Jiang Su dared not disobey and reluctantly bowed, saying, "Sister Yao Yao, I apologize for my rudeness."

Qin Yao didn't respond.

The white-bearded clan chief didn't care and continued, "Since that's the case, then the informant is making a false accusation. Your son, handing over the person will give the Qin family's young lady an explanation and resolve this matter."

"This..." Jiang Su's face turned pale. Where was there an informant?

Where is he supposed to find someone to help him?

"Your Highness, this man has harmed me so much, are you still going to protect him?" Qin Yao asked him with red eyes.

Jiang Su had no words to express his suffering. His uncles and elders behind him no longer wanted to get involved, so they all took their leave, leaving Jiang Su standing there dumbfounded.

"Little sister Yao Yao! Don't worry, I will definitely punish the liar severely when I get back! I will give you justice!"

Jiang Su slipped away without a trace in no time.

"Miss! Why didn't you stop him? He made a scene, ruined Xia Qiutang's reputation, and took the opportunity to break off the engagement!"

Granny Zhao was puzzled; this was such a good opportunity.

Qin Yao shook her head, "It can't be withdrawn! Jiang Su will at most receive some punishment."

If Xia Qiutang is ruined, how can she marry Jiang Su? The two of them are locked in a relationship, and now is not the time to ruin her.

The more important thing now is to deal with Qin Liu!
