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

Jiang Qianqian couldn't bear the skeptical looks from everyone.

So she hurriedly pulled up Jiang, who was still pretending to cry.

"Auntie, I didn't!"

Jiang couldn't cry anymore either, and with red eyes, she comforted her, "I know, I know, Qianqian didn't mean it that way."

He turned his head and looked at Qujing on the ground.

"You scoundrel, how could you falsely accuse my Yiru?"

After hearing what Granny Li said, Mr. Chen relaxed completely.

Standing next to him, Sharon Chan kept her head down, making it impossible to see her expression.

Qin Yao could clearly see that the Jiang family members and the Jiang brothers were tense, incredulous, and anxious.

As for Chiang Kai-shek…

While her words appeared to be in defense of Chen Yiru, she was actually asking whether Qu Jing had been wronged.

Sure enough, Qu Jing realized what was happening the next moment.

"Madam, I didn't! This really is Miss's, Yiru. You gave it to me, even if it's not something you usually wear, it's still yours! You can't deny it so heartlessly!"

Anyway, this dress belongs to Chen Yiru. No matter what others say, as long as he sticks to his guns, no matter how much Chen Yiru says, he can't clear his name.

Who says she can't give him a little garment that no one will know about?

Qujing is confident of victory.

Jiang did not press further, but instead looked at Chen Yiru.

"Yiru? What did you say?"

"Are you really my mother?"

Chen Yiru stared intently at Jiang Shi.

"You immediately comforted my cousin with just a word, but I'm here being watched by everyone, and you don't even glance at me!"

“Granny Li already said the things aren’t mine, but you still won’t admit it and believe the nonsense of this guy who appeared out of nowhere, questioning me?”

"So, are you really my mother?"

When Chen Yiru said this, everyone except the unsuspecting guests froze.

In particular, Chen's father looked at Jiang with a very unfriendly gaze.

“Sister, Mother is just worried and confused. She wants to get to the bottom of things. Don’t overthink it,” Chen Minzhi explained.

Chen Minzhi didn't want her mother to leave a bad impression on her father.

However, Mr. Chen did not accept this.

"My lord!" The expression on Granny Li's face was indescribable.

"This dress definitely doesn't belong to Miss, because the embroidery pattern belongs to Cousin!"

"what?"

"What did you say?"

"This is impossible!"

Several voices overlapped and came from Jiang Qianqian, Jiang Shi, and Chen Minzhi.

Granny Li ignored them and continued speaking to Chen's father.

"A few days ago, the manor allocated money to make clothes for everyone; everyone in the manor received some."

"This fabric was chosen by Miss Cousin, and it was specially delivered to her. The embroidery pattern was also sent by Miss Cousin. The embroiderer can testify to this!"

The embroiderer was quickly brought over.

I had no objection to what Granny Li said, and I remembered it very well.

"Because this material used to be the one that Miss liked, but Miss Biao had already chosen it first. I even asked Miss, and Miss agreed, so the material was given to Miss Biao."

The embroiderer answered meekly with her head bowed.

"I didn't! When did I ever ask for this material? I didn't!"

Jiang Qianqian was so anxious she was jumping up and down.

Fearing she would give herself away, Jiang quickly pulled her back.

"And this embroidery pattern." The embroiderer took the tray from the young embroiderer behind her and handed it to Granny Li.

"The embroidery patterns were all sent over from various courtyards."

Granny Li gave the embroidery pattern to Chen's father.

Then the embroidery on the little garment was displayed.

"Hmph!" Father Chen slammed the tray on the ground. "Fine! Very well!"

"Mr. Jiang, see for yourself!"

Jiang picked up the embroidery pattern, then looked at the embroidery pattern in Li Mama's hand, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

“This…” She hurriedly looked at her son and nephew.

"No! This is impossible!" Jiang Qianqian snatched the undergarment from Li Mama's hands like a madwoman and tore at it frantically.

How could this be! How could it possibly become her underwear?!

"Stop her!" Mr. Chen said in a deep voice.

Granny Li hurriedly went up to retrieve the items, but Jiang Qianqian was unwilling and turned to hide behind Madam Jiang.

"Auntie! Auntie! I didn't do it, how could this be? Tell them it wasn't me! It was Chen Yiru..."

"Slap!" Jiang slapped her without any politeness.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Jiang Qianqian's head was knocked to the side, which stopped her hysterical outburst.

The fire had already passed, and Chen Yiru watched them fight like dogs, feeling extremely pleased.

If she hadn't already known, she probably wouldn't have been able to explain herself even if she had a hundred or a thousand mouths.

Fortunately, I was prepared.

Qu Jing had already swallowed hard in fright at this unexpected turn of events, and he looked uneasily at the Jiang brothers.

The Jiang brothers glared at him, wanting him to continue attacking Chen Yiru.

Qu Jing's eyes darted around, wondering how Xiao Yi had become Miss Biao's.

He had kept it safe all along!

Seeing that Jiang remained silent, Chen Yiru turned to Qu Jing and asked:

"I just don't know how my cousin's undergarments ended up in Young Master Qu's hands?"

"This..." Qu Jing was speechless for a moment. How did he know? He wanted to ask him too!

Qu Jing couldn't say anything, but Jiang Qianqian jumped up again:

"I already said it wasn't me! Chen Yiru, don't you understand?!"

Now she doesn't even call me "cousin" anymore.

Moreover, with that vicious expression, one might mistake Chen Yiru for her father's killer.

“That’s right, Yiru, how could this be Qianqian’s?” Madam Jiang pulled Jiang Qianqian back before continuing:

"Sir, why don't we hand him over to the authorities and let him tell the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Jing tensed up immediately.

Send him to the authorities? He's just a scholar; if he commits a crime, they'll strip him of his scholar title...

Before he could speak, Chen Yiru had already let out a cold laugh.

"Oh, Mother, didn't you just say you wanted to find out the truth? Why are you sending him to the authorities now?"

Faced with the scrutiny of Chen Yiru and her father, Jiang Shi was already losing face.

Not to mention there were so many people present.

For the first time, Chiang Kai-shek felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

"Then let's get to the bottom of this!" Chen's father declared, making his decision decisively.

Jiang's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

Jiang Qianqian's face turned deathly pale.

How can we figure this out?

They accused Chen Yiru of giving her underwear to another man, and even though she denied it, she still lost all her reputation in front of so many people.

But now it's her!

Jiang Qianqian turned her gaze to her two older brothers, but they were also completely lost in thought.

Chiang Kai-shek slumped in his chair as if he had lost all his strength.

Jiang Qianqian looked back and saw that her mother had her brows furrowed and hadn't even considered giving her any letter.

Her older and younger sisters remained expressionless.

Jiang Qianqian's mind went blank, and she stared blankly at the people around her.

Mr. Chen picked up his teacup and slowly sipped it. After a while, he asked:

"Speak! Who sent you! Why are you trying to implicate my Chen family?"

Qin Yao sighed inwardly, thinking that Chen's father was truly a gentleman, still not intending to tarnish Jiang Qianqian's reputation.

They just want to find out who's behind it all.

He was likely to be disappointed, because they were the same person.

"My lord! No one instructed me. I truly love the young lady."

Qu Jing was, after all, a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations and was knowledgeable about the law. If he admitted to wrongly accusing a woman of dishonoring her, then his career as a scholar would be over.

This was the only way. Qu Jing kowtowed again.

"When we met, Miss was always wearing a veil, and she gave me a small garment, telling me that she was Miss Chen. That's why I thought she was Miss Yiru. But now it seems that the one I have a past with is actually Miss Biao!"

Qin Yao applauded Qu Jing in her heart, thinking that he was indeed quick-witted despite having studied for several years.

"You're talking nonsense! I don't know you at all!" Jiang Qianqian panicked when she saw that everyone was silent and the gazes on her were scrutinizing.

She quickly walked out and knelt down in front of Chen's father.

"Uncle, I didn't! It was him! He couldn't frame my cousin, so he tried to frame me!"

Qu Jing was heartbroken: "Qingqing, how could I? I just heard that Miss Chen is getting married... I was afraid you had no choice but to come here!"

"You're talking nonsense! I don't know you at all!"

"Alright!" Mr. Chen stopped them from making a further fool of themselves.

After watching the show for a long time with no progress in sight, Chen Yiru could only resort to sarcasm:

"Young Master Qu keeps saying that he and Miss Chen are in love, surely he can't only offer one piece of clothing?"

Jiang Qianqian, however, grasped at this straw as if it were a lifeline.

"Yes! Who knows if someone gave it to you secretly!"

"Qingqing," Qu Jing looked at Jiang Qianqian and continued, "You have a birthmark on your chest, have you forgotten? You even showed it to me, a crescent-shaped birthmark!"

This time, not only Jiang Qianqian, but everyone else stared at them with their mouths agape in shock.

Jiang Qianqian collapsed to the ground, unable to believe it.

How did Qujing know about the birthmark on her chest?

Judging from their expressions, Chen's father knew that it was true.

"Now that the truth has come out, let's handle our own affairs!"

Jiang Qianqian is a member of the Jiang family, so it's not his place as her uncle to handle this.

"Uncle, uncle! I didn't! Uncle, uncle, please do justice for me!" Jiang Qianqian crawled over and kowtowed in front of Chen's father.

Mr. Chen ignored her, as he still remembered what she had just said about Chen Yiru.

He already showed great magnanimity by not kicking someone when they were down.

Mr. Chen began to greet the guests.

"Thank you all for coming today to help with my daughter's wedding. The feast is ready, please take your seats!"

Everyone was preparing to leave with Chen's father.

Jiang Qianqian had already turned to her aunt and cousin for help.

But none of them intend to get involved anymore.

They are members of the Chen family, and since their father has spoken, they have no choice but to obey.

The Chiang family will certainly not show up.

They all told her to stop making a scene, and Jiang Qianqian broke down.

She didn't want to marry Qu Jing.

Thinking of this, she stood up. "At worst, we'll fight to the death!"

"Uncle! All of this is... Waaah..."

Jiang Qianqian tried to say something, but her brother suppressed her from both sides and gagged her.

"Uncle, we will handle what my sister has done and will not implicate the Chen family!"

Without turning back, Chen's father led everyone away amidst Jiang Qianqian's despairing gaze.

Qu Jing, on the ground, couldn't contain his excitement.

This cousin is quite nice too!
