After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chu Zongling's face changed drastically, and he looked at Qin Yue'er and Xiao Yanzhao with anger, "Is what Lord Lu said true?"

"Uncle Chu, I am innocent. Lu Xingzhi has wronged me in order to clear his brother of the charges." Qin Yue'er immediately denied it loudly.

Xiao Yanzhao also echoed with an unpleasant expression: "Chu Zongling, Lu Xingzhi obviously wants to frame us, you must not listen to him."

“If Chu Zongling doesn’t believe it, he can call a doctor to re-diagnose Miss Chu. Miss Chu was indeed drugged, and the person who drugged her was Miss Qin!
Miss Qin said earlier that when she arrived at the teahouse, Miss Chu had already ordered tea and snacks. In fact, you were late on purpose so that if Miss Chu got into trouble, you could get away with it. But in fact, you booked the teahouse, and before that, you must have bribed the waiters in the teahouse. If you wanted to drug her, you didn't have to do it yourself. "Lu Xingyan glared at the two of them with a fiery look in his eyes.

"You are talking nonsense. You are slandering us. It was clearly you who did it, but you are blaming us. You are so shameless!" Qin Yue'er was furious and glared at him viciously.

Lu Xingyan was not afraid at all and sneered, "You are the shameless ones! Before today, I didn't even know Miss Chu, nor had I ever seen her. If she hadn't asked for help, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess and given you the opportunity to throw dirty water on me!

I, Lu Xingyan, have always been brave enough to take responsibility for my actions, but don't even think about framing me for something I haven't done!"

As he said this, he glared at Chu Zongling unceremoniously.

This old man is old-fashioned and stubborn.

Just because Qin Yue'er had a good relationship with them, no matter how he explained, they wouldn't listen or believe him.

"Besides, is it because Chu Zongling really loves his daughter that he doesn't want her to come out and identify the murderer? You don't believe what your own daughter says, but instead believe what outsiders say. It's really pitiful to be your daughter!" Lu Xingyan became more and more angry as he spoke.

He felt uncomfortable especially when he thought about the bad things that happened to Miss Chu. When she returned home, she not only did not receive comfort from her family but was slapped in the face.

This old man Chu is really hateful.

Chu Zongling's body was shocked.

I thought of the scene when Soo-ya first arrived home.

Because he believed what Qin Yue'er and Xiao Yanzhao said, he turned a deaf ear to his daughter's words and even slapped her in the face.

The image of his daughter crying appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He had never been willing to hit his daughter since she was little, but when she suffered a great injustice, instead of seeking justice for her, he slapped her in the face.

The hand that had hit the daughter began to tremble uncontrollably.

Why didn't he believe his daughter's words, but instead believed the words of outsiders like Qin Yue'er and Xiao Yanzhao?
Just because his daughter has been well-behaved since she was a child and has never done anything out of line, but today she did something that damaged her reputation, he became furious and thought that his daughter was deceived by Lu Xingyan?

Stupid, really stupid.

Chu Zongling regretted deeply in his heart.

Compared to the Lu brothers' frankness, Xiao Yanzhao and Qin Yue'er were obviously guilty, and what they said was full of loopholes.

Is there any need to say who is right and who is wrong?
Chu Zongling closed his eyes, extremely angry.

But for the sake of his daughter, he kept silent.

After all, Qin Yue'er did what she did today just to make Xiu Ya marry into the Canglang Kingdom instead of her.

Therefore, if he blamed Xiao Yanzhao, given Xiao Yanzhao's shamelessness, he would definitely take the opportunity to say that he was responsible for his daughter. Then he would run to the emperor to ask for his permission to grant the marriage, and the emperor might agree.

If that happens, everything will be irreversible.

My daughter must marry far away to the Canglang Kingdom.

This is not what he wants to see.

Because if that happened, my daughter's life would be ruined. Xiao Yanzhao could do such a beastly thing, so how could he treat my daughter well if she married him?
The journey to Canglang Country is long, and if anything happens to his daughter, he can't help even if he wants to.

In a flash, Chu Zongling thought a lot, and then he gave the order to expel them in a deep voice, "I have made up my mind about what will happen today. Prince Xiao, Qin Yue'er, you can go now."

Xiao Yanzhao said dissatisfiedly: "Chu Zongling wants to drive us away? Don't you want to seek justice for your daughter?"

Chu Zongling looked at him with cold eyes, "If it wasn't related to diplomatic relations, do you think you could leave Zongling Mansion?"

Xiao Yanzhao was stunned. When he met the other party's murderous eyes, his heart trembled and he took a step back involuntarily.

After he realized what was happening, his expression quickly turned gloomy.

What does this stupid old man mean? Do you still want to kill him?
Qin Yue'er has also reacted.

Uncle Chu always called her Yue'er, but just now, he directly called her Qin Yue'er. This shows that he has believed the Lu brothers' words and thought that she and Xiao Yanzhao framed Chu Xiuya.

But for some reason, he didn't say it directly.

For a moment, Qin Yue'er felt very flustered, "Uncle Chu, I really didn't harm Sister Xiu Ya, please understand."

"I have eyes, and I can tell right from wrong. No need to say more, just go away, and don't come to see Xiu Ya again. We in the Chu family don't welcome you." Chu Zongling said impatiently.

Qin Yue'er frowned slightly, feeling extremely angry.

This Chu family is really ungrateful!
She snorted secretly, grabbed Xiao Yanzhao who was about to shout and threaten, and left the Chu Mansion.

After the two of them left, Chu Zongling looked at Lu Xingyan with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry for what happened today."

Lu Xingyan was stunned, "You... believe what I said?"

Chu Zongling sighed and nodded, "I'm sorry, but I have my own difficulties and I have to let you down."

What he meant was that he did not directly expose the matter between Qin Yue'er and Xiao Yanzhao just now.

Lu Xingyan understood and quickly shook his head, “I’m not wronged.”

Chu Zongling looked at the pure and upright young man in front of him and suddenly smiled, "You are completely different from Brother Ling."

One is as cunning as a fox, the other is honest and straightforward.

Lu Xingyan scratched his head and said, "My elder brother is smarter and more promising than me. He is naturally different from me."

"That's not what I meant." Chu Zongling shook his head.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at Chu Zongling calmly, and suddenly said, "Although this younger brother of yours is honest and doesn't care about being wronged, as his elder brother, I can't bear to let him suffer any injustice."

Hearing this, Lu Xingyan felt warm in his heart and couldn’t help but say, “Brother, I haven’t suffered any grievances. Now that things have been made clear, it’s good.”

Lu Xingzhi frowned, "Next time, don't save everyone. Not only will you get nothing in return, but you'll also end up in trouble! In this world, there are very few people who know how to repay a favor, but there are many who repay kindness with hatred."

Upon hearing this, Chu Zongling felt extremely embarrassed.

On the surface, the other party was blaming the younger brother, but in fact, he was scolding him for being ungrateful.

"Lord Lu, I did not handle today's matter properly. I actually believed the words of those two evil people. Now it is getting late. I will have someone prepare some wine and food, and I will apologize to you two later."

"No need, bye." Lu Xingzhi refused coldly. (End of this chapter)
