Hearing Lu Chenyi's sincere apology, Su Yun Chu's expression softened. She looked at Lu Chenyi and said in a low voice, "Young Master Lu, my actions just now were a bit too extreme. I apologize for my behavior."

"Young Master Lu, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that!"

After hearing this, Lu Chenyi looked at Su Yun Chu, smiled, and said softly, "Miss Su, as long as you're happy, you can do whatever you want!"

After hearing this, Su Yunchu smiled, looked at Lu Chenyi, and said playfully, "Young Master Lu, then it's okay for me to beat you up."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chenyi smiled, looked at Su Yun Chu, and said softly, "Miss Su, please come! I'm just afraid you won't be able to bear hitting me."

As Lu Chenyi spoke, he glanced at Su Yun Chu's expression. Su Yun Chu smiled mischievously and said, "Young Master Lu, you can't take a joke! You actually took it seriously!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chenyi's smile deepened, and he said teasingly, "Miss Su, I told you you wouldn't have the heart to hit me. See, I was right!"

Su Yun was speechless upon hearing this! She looked at Lu Chenyi, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Lu, stand there and wait for me to come over."

After saying that, Su Yun Chu rushed forward and pretended to hit Lu Chen Yi. Upon seeing this, Lu Chen Yi was so frightened that he fled in panic.

As Lu Chenyi ran, he said, "Miss Su, are you serious?!"

After hearing this, Su Yun Chu smiled and looked at Lu Chen Yi who was fleeing in panic, saying dismissively, "What else?" After saying that, Su Yun Chu continued to chase after Lu Chen Yi.

A moment later, Lu Chenyi deliberately stopped, allowing Su Yun Chu to catch up. Su Yun Chu caught up, looked at Lu Chenyi, smiled, and whispered, "Young Master Lu, I'll let you off this time! I won't be so polite next time."

Perhaps they were a little tired, Su Yun Chu and Lu Chen Yi drank a large cup of tea and rested for a while before their complexions improved.

Su Yun Chu glanced at Lu Chen Yi and said in a low voice, "Young Master Lu, let's get down to business! You just said you wanted to explain to me, so go ahead, I'm listening!"

After hearing this, Lu Chenyi paused, looked at Su Yun Chu and said in a low voice, "Miss Su, the letter you received last time inviting you to Baima Temple was not written by me. I had no idea about it at all."

"Miss Su, I wonder if you'll believe me if I say this?" Lu Chenyi said, glancing at Su Yun Chu as if eager to know what kind of answer she would give.

After hearing this, Su Yun paused for a moment and thought to herself, "Although Lu Chenyi is a bit hypocritical, he is still a gentleman and would not stoop to doing such dishonest things."

Then, Su Yun Chu paused, looked at Lu Chen Yi, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Lu, I believe you. Because I believe that with your character, you would not do such a dishonest thing."

After hearing this, Lu Chenyi paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Miss Su, for believing in me."

After listening, Su Yun paused, looked at Lu Chenyi, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Lu, please continue!"

After listening, Lu Chenyi paused for a moment, then continued, "Miss Su, last time I met up with several friends to discuss some matters outside. We talked for a long time before gradually returning home."

"Later, it was Uncle Su who came to our door with the clues that the Su family steward had uncovered. Only then did my parents and I learn that such a bad thing had happened to you, Miss Su."

“My father was furious at home. Under his repeated questioning, my sister Lu Linglong finally admitted that she did it.”

"It turns out that she found the words I wrote and imitated my handwriting to write you a letter, inviting you to meet her at the White Horse Temple outside the city."

"And those so-called beggars you mentioned were arranged in advance by my sister Lu Linglong. When the time is right, my sister Lu Linglong will bring Liu Wentao to Baima Temple to catch you in the act of adultery and witness your impropriety."

"By then, whether you were involved with that or not, you won't be able to explain yourself clearly. Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to clear your name."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't know how she had offended Lu Ling Long. Why would Lu Ling Long do something so outrageous to her?

Then, Su Yun Chu looked at Lu Chen Yi and asked in confusion, "Young Master Lu, do you know why Miss Lu is targeting me like this?"

After hearing this, Lu Chenyi paused, looked at Su Yun Chu, and said in a low voice, "Miss Su, I really don't know why my sister Lu Linglong is targeting you like this? I think I overheard her mention that she was a little unhappy because Liu Wentao, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, likes you."

After hearing this, Su Yun paused, looked at Lu Chenyi, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Lu, I can completely understand why Miss Lu likes Young Master Liu. After all, Young Master Liu is such an outstanding person."

“Miss Lu could have competed with me fairly, instead of doing something so detrimental to herself and others.”

After hearing this, Lu Chenyi looked at Su Yun Chu and said apologetically, "Miss Su, it's all my fault as her older brother for not disciplining my younger sister Linglong properly, which led her to do such a terrible thing to you. I'm so sorry!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunchu waved her hands repeatedly, glanced at the self-reproaching Lu Chenyi, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Lu, how can this be your fault! However, Miss Lu still needs to be properly disciplined."

After hearing this, Lu Chenyi nodded and said in a low voice, "Miss Su, I will definitely discipline my sister properly."

After Lu Chenyi finished speaking, he clapped his hands. A moment later, the servant Shi Tou brought in a group of people who were tied up.

Su Yun Chu was stunned when she saw them. Weren't these the same group of beggars who had tried to bully her at the White Horse Temple? Why were they dressed so well this time?

Su Yun Chu looked at the group of people who were tied up, then at Lu Chen Yi, and asked in confusion, "What are these people doing? Shouldn't they be beggars? Why are they dressed so well?"

One of the bound men recognized the voice and looked up at Su Yun Chu. This sight terrified him; he stammered, "Heroine...Grandma...Spare me! Spare me! Please, spare us, we lowly people! Please!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chenyi was taken aback and was just about to answer Su Yun Chu's question when...

The bound man, who appeared to be the leader, glanced at Lu Chenyi, then looked at Su Yun Chu with a mixture of fear and respect. He sneered and said, "Beggars? Heroine, you call us beggars? I used to be the mountain king of this area, with many men under my command! I specialized in robbing those cruel and heartless rich people and distributing the spoils to the poor."

Then, the man sighed again and said helplessly, "But unfortunately, we were targeted by the government and beaten into a state of homelessness. Because we have no skills, we have become scoundrels wandering the streets."

“Last time, a woman who called herself Miss Lu approached me and asked us to pretend to be beggars. She said that the lady who came was kind-hearted and would give us money if she saw that we were pitiful. As long as we kept her in check and waited for her to bring people over, she would give us a lot of money after it was done.”

"But we used to be bandits. When we saw a beautiful woman, we thought of kidnapping her and making her our wife. We forgot about the young lady's instructions for a moment."

"We never expected that we would miscalculate and encounter such a formidable person as you, heroine."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun immediately understood. Lu Linglong probably never intended to do anything so outrageous to her in the first place.

He just wanted to teach her a lesson, but things didn't go as she expected.
