I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Although Su Shiyan was quite tipsy at the moment, upon hearing everyone's discussion, he immediately and hurriedly explained:

"No, no, I didn't touch her. She came to me on her own. There's really nothing between Cuihua and me. Don't talk nonsense!"

At this moment, Lianhua also came out of the house. Seeing the scene before her, she felt so weak that she could hardly stand. She quickly reached out and grabbed the table beside her, her eyes red as she looked at Cuihua.

When Cuihua saw Lianhua emerge, she immediately knelt down before her.

"Sister Lianhua, you have to believe me. It really wasn't my intention. I just wanted to lend a hand to Brother Shiyan, but I didn't expect him to... to me... sob..."

As she spoke, Cuihua seemed unable to bear it any longer and lowered her head to cry.

The villagers who were originally in a hurry to go home stopped when they saw this scene and stood there ready to watch the show.

Lianhua could no longer stand. She immediately sat down, holding onto a stool, clutching her stomach, panting heavily, and looking at Cuihua with red eyes.

Seeing this, Su Shiyan regained his senses and immediately stumbled over to Lianhua's side, anxiously explaining:

"Honey, believe me, I really didn't do anything to betray you. This was all a scheme she devised to frame me. Honey, you have to believe me. Please don't get angry. You're carrying our child in your belly. It's all my fault. I was careless and let her take advantage of me. But I really didn't do anything to betray you. I swear to God. If you're really angry, you can hit me or yell at me, just don't hurt yourself."

Lianhua withdrew her hand, glanced at Su Shiyan, then at Cuihua standing not far away, not daring to look up and meet her gaze, and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Cuihua, over the years, have I ever wronged you in any way?"

Cuihua shook her head, crying.

"No, no, Sister Lianhua, you've been so good to me. It's my fault... it's my fault for not being able to stop my brother-in-law... he... he... sob sob... it's all my fault, I'm so sorry. Now that this has happened, I really have no face to continue living!"

As Cuihua spoke, she turned her head and tried to rush towards the corner of the table, but Erzhuzi, who was standing next to her, reacted quickly and grabbed her.

"What are you doing? You can't let someone die in this courtyard! Today is Banxia's wedding day, who are you trying to impress with this commotion!"

Although Erzhuzi felt uneasy about Banxia's engagement today, he knew he was absolutely unworthy of her. He had only thought about it privately before.

But if it were really his turn to propose to Banxia, ​​he would never have the courage. Erzhuzi knew that Banxia was good to him because of her kindness and righteousness, and he could not easily trample on that kindness.

Previously, Erzhuzi disapproved of Wei Kezhi's close relationship with Banxia because he felt that Wei Kezhi was not good enough for Banxia. Now, seeing how generous Wei Kezhi was and how genuinely he treated Banxia, ​​Erzhuzi felt relieved. Although he felt a little sad, he still sincerely wished that the two of them could become a couple.

Therefore, he couldn't bear to see Cuihua cause such a scene at Su Banxia's engagement banquet, and he certainly wouldn't let Cuihua die at Su Banxia's engagement banquet. At this moment, Erzhuzi firmly grasped Cuihua's hand and said coldly:

“We all know what kind of person Su Shiyan is. Don’t try to slander him with these things. If you have something to say, say it. Stop making a scene all the time. If you’re going to die, go die outside! Don’t get in the way of this courtyard!”

Cuihua never expected that Erzhuzi, who was always honest, would say such things to her today.

At this moment, she felt even more wronged, but with her eyes red from crying, she looked at Su Shiyan and said:

"Brother Shi Yan, what exactly do you want from me? Don't you want to explain things clearly yet? How long are you going to keep this from me, Sister Lianhua? Shouldn't you just give me a proper status?"

"Hey, what does this girl mean? Could it be that there's something going on between them?"

"Look how wronged this girl is! Why would she risk her reputation for no reason!"

"Oh dear, what a disaster! Su Shiyan usually seems like an honest man, I never expected him to have so many cunning schemes!"

"Isn't that right? You never would have guessed!"

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Su Shiyan became anxious and turned to look at Lianhua, whose eyes were red-rimmed.

"Lotus, believe me, I really didn't do anything to betray you, and nothing happened between me and Cuihua. It was all her doing to frame me, and I can explain everything."

Upon hearing Su Shiyan's words, Cuihua immediately cried out in distress:

"Brother Shi Yan, you've ruined my reputation. How do you expect to explain yourself now?!"

Su Shiyan turned his head and glared fiercely at Cuihua, coldly saying:

“Ever since you moved into our yard, our family has never mistreated you. We've provided you with enough to eat and drink, arranged work for you, and paid you wages. I think we've done enough for you. But I never imagined you would be such a heartless woman. You're so greedy; you're not satisfied with what you've received, you want even more!”

Upon hearing this, Cuihua immediately cried out anxiously:

"You're talking nonsense! What do you mean I didn't? I've always been grateful! I know your family has been very good to me, which is why I've tolerated you all this time!"

Su Shiyan snorted coldly.

"You tolerated it? I should say I tolerated you! Before, out of consideration for your relationship with Lianhua, I covered up those shameful things for you time and time again, hoping that you would realize your mistakes and stop making them. But I didn't expect that you would make one mistake after another, and now you even want to make things worse. I know you want to force me to marry you, right?"

Cuihua was surprised that Su Shiyan, who was drunk, could still analyze these things so clearly. She was also a little scared. If Su Shiyan told her about what had happened before, how would she face Lianhua?

Su Shiyan glanced at Cuihua's flustered expression, then continued:

"Now I've finally seen the light. Before, when you were injured by snake venom, you forced me to carry you home. And you kept subtly suggesting to me that Lotus was unwell and difficult to care for, unlike you who were diligent, sensible, and capable. And that time when I was drunk, you deliberately waited around the corner and even bumped into me. Today you're using the same trick again. I didn't even touch you just now, and you opened your mouth on your own. You said those things that would be misunderstood. Anyone who doesn't know the situation would think that I, Su Shiyan, am doing something inhuman and have let Lotus down. You've been scheming for so long, it's time for me to expose your true colors!"
