Chapter 268
As soon as Wan Xiaoli saw her carriage, she started running towards them.

"Big Cousin, you can be considered to be back. Someone claimed to have exchanged affection with Cousin Maverick and made a private appointment for life. Now he has come to the door with Cousin Maverick's token."

Chen Xingyan didn't expect that such a thing would happen despite all precautions.

"Okay, I see, you go home quickly."

As soon as Chen Xingyan entered, he heard a woman crying.

When Wang was looking helpless and didn't know what to do, when he heard that his daughter-in-law was back, he immediately felt that he had a backbone.

"Daughter-in-law, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Chen Xingyan was much calmer than her.

"Girl, you are always crying like this. We don't know what happened. If you can't explain clearly, I don't think there is any need to invite you to sit here."

The girl's crying movements froze for a moment, then she glanced at the woman beside her from the corner of her eyes, and began to cry softly again.

When the woman saw it, she knew that the young lady was in charge of the house, so she got straight to the point.

It turned out that this woman was the girl's mother, and they were villagers from Xiaoshi Town.

This girl's surname is Wang, she is sixteen this year, and she looks pretty good, but this pretentious appearance is really annoying.

Nanny Lou followed behind Chen Xingyan, looked the woman up and down, and whispered something into Chen Xingyan's ear.

Chen Xingyan was only slightly surprised, but then he recovered.

"Miss Wang, you said that you and my brother-in-law have a private life, what proof do you have?"

That Miss Wang raised her head and said with aggrieved expression: "I have the jade pendant he gave me as proof."

As she spoke, she took out the things, but when Qi stepped forward, she took her hands back.

"Now it's in your Lu's house. If you snatch this thing and deny it, what can I do?"

Chen Xingyan pursed his lips and smiled, signaling Qi to back off.

"You take it, I just came to see if it belongs to him, isn't it too much?"

Miss Wang seemed to be a little scared, with that timid face, if there was a man here, maybe she would really be tickled.

Chen Xingyan took a closer look, and it really was the fan pendant she gave Lu Xiaoniu back then.

However, this thing was still on the fan when Lu Xiaoniu came back last time. It only took a few days, how did it appear in this girl's hand?

Chen Xingyan wouldn't believe it if it was a coincidence!
If it is said that this thing was really given by Lu Xiaoniu, it is even more impossible!

When Lu Xiaoniu came back last time, he said that he would not consider marrying a wife and having children if he failed to pass the examination as a scholar.

Chen Xingyan smiled slightly: "Girl, my little uncle is studying in a private school now, and we can't just rely on your one-sided words to believe your words, so let's send someone to find him, but I'm afraid it will be wrong after all this going on. It's too late, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Ms. Wang and her mother looked at each other, as if they were asking.

"Your Lu family are not going to admit it?"

"That's not true, it's just that this thing looks familiar to me, but I'm not completely sure, so I have to wait for my brother-in-law to come back to find out if it belongs to him. Also, what if the jade pendant is his? It was dropped, and then you picked it up? Could it be that this matter is not clear?"

The weak Miss Wang became anxious all of a sudden.

"How can you say that? If I really picked up this thing, how could I take it as my own? It is said that you are from a scholarly family, how can you label me so easily! Also, whoever said that I will No other evidence? I still have the love poem he wrote to me as proof!"

What he said just now, Chen Xingyan did it on purpose, wanting to see if the mother and daughter had other cards in their cards.

Hearing what they said now, I naturally have some concerns in my heart.

"Then I wonder if this love poem can be read?"

At this time, Miss Wang's face was blushing, and she carefully took out a thin piece of paper from her chest.

Chen Xingyan took it over and took a look, and couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

This love poem is indeed true, and it was copied from an ancient book.

And the handwriting is indeed Lu Xiaoniu's, but whether it was imitated by others, or it was really written by Lu Xiaoniu, you have to ask clearly.

But no matter what, with the evidence of this love poem, Lu Xiaoniu's bad reputation of giving and receiving privately is about to spread.

But it is obviously impossible to forcefully retrieve this love poem.

If the other party dared to come to the door, he had already made preparations.

Outside, Lu Laohan led Lu Xiaoliu and Wang Erzhong to confront several men.

Those guys are all from Xiaoshi Town.

"Well, since you are worried, we have to figure it out. We don't trust each other now, so why don't you make arrangements first, and let's find someone to come back here. Let's discuss it tomorrow. What do you think?"

Miss Wang's mother nodded, then quickly put away her things, and took her daughter out.

Chen Xingyan asked Liangzi to lead someone to follow them to see which inn they stayed in and who they met.

Xiaoshi Town is quite far from Qingshui Town.

For dozens of miles, these people will definitely not go back today.

Moreover, Chen Xingyan always had a premonition that this matter would not come to an end easily.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xiaoniu didn't come back, but he waited for Lu Daxiong to come back.

As soon as several people discussed it, they felt that the matter was too big, and if it was not done well, it would ruin Lu Xiaoniu's reputation. He is a person who is going to take the imperial examination, so he must not be easily calculated by others.

Then they divided into two groups. Lu Daxiong went to the county to find Lu Xiaoniu to ask the whole story, while Chen Xingyan arranged several groups to go to Xiaoshi Town and the county respectively.

It wasn't until evening that Lu Daxiong came back, and the person sent to Xiaoshi Town returned to Lu's Village an hour later than him.

In the evening, after everyone had rested, Lu Daxiong took Chen Xingyan to the town again quietly.

Chen Xingyan was not as careful as last time. After all, these people were ordinary peasants, unlike Cheng Wenbin who brought experienced servants with him last time.

This time, Chen Xingyan directly urged a vine at the corner of the inn, and let it take out the jade pendant and love letter.

What was put back later was a love poem with slightly similar handwriting but absolutely different.

As for the jade pendant, Chen Xingyan also chose a jade pendant that was similar to Lu Xiaoniu's, and even the net underneath was exactly the same.

After doing all this, Chen Xingyan was still worried, so he manipulated the vines to search the room carefully to see if there were other omissions.
