"Feng'er!"

Yang was frightened by Xu Wanfeng's remarks and scolded her softly.

Then he turned his head and said to Chen: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Feng'er has always been spoiled by me."

Chen's face turned pale and she could only respond politely.

However, Xu Xingyin, who was standing aside, keenly grasped the key point of Xu Wanfeng's words, rolled his eyes and asked Xu Wanfeng.

"My second sister is seriously injured?"

At that time, she clearly saw that Xu Wanfeng had only a small cut. There might be a scar, but it was definitely not a serious injury.

Xu Wanfeng glared at Xu Xingyin unhappily, "Of course! I can't even stand up now, let alone walk. If I become lame in the future, my life will be ruined!"

Xu Xingyin responded softly, and then used Xu Wanjie's words to interrupt her.

"Sixth sister said that the doctor diagnosed that second sister had injured her tendons and bones, so she shouldn't be lame."

"..."

Xu Wanfeng was caught by Xu Xingyin, but she was not an eloquent person and could only glare in anger.

"Seventh sister, you can't talk like that." Xu Wanmian still looked like a peacemaker, "Second sister, Seventh sister didn't mean to do that, please don't be offended."

Xu Wanjie was very dissatisfied with Xu Wanmian's attitude of whitewashing the situation, and added fuel to the fire.

"Third sister is always kind, but if this isn't intentional, then what else is deliberate?"

Xu Wanfeng also agreed with Xu Wanjie's opinion, and bowed to Old Madam Xu and Xu Xiuzhu with red eyes.

"Grandma, second uncle, please give Feng'er an explanation!"

Xu Xingyin naturally refused to hand over the right to speak to Xu Xiuzhu. He pointed at Xu Wanfeng's feet and screamed in fear, "Ah! Rat!"

"Ah! Help!"

Xu Wanfeng screamed when she heard that and jumped up reflexively, then reacted after seeing everyone's scrutiny.

Xu Xingyin opened his mouth in pretended surprise.

"Isn't my second sister too injured to stand up?"

"me……"

Xu Wanfeng's face flushed and she stammered. She racked her brains but could not think of an excuse, so she looked to Xu Wanmian and Xu Wanjie for help.

Xu Wanjie's brain wasn't much faster than Xu Wanfeng's, but Xu Wanmian took over the conversation readily.

"It's a good thing that Second Sister's injury has eased. As long as she can move around, it won't delay the reception in the next few days. If there is a trick to prevent the wound from leaving scars, it would be even better."

With just one sentence, the topic was brought back to the issue of scarring.

But he didn't mention at all that Xu Wanfeng had deliberately exaggerated her injuries.

Fortunately, Yang was a smart woman. When she saw her daughter's expression just now, she knew that there must be some exaggeration in this matter.

So he stopped nagging her and settled the matter with a smile.

"However, it is just a misunderstanding. How can I continue to disturb my mother's peace? I will take Feng'er back and take good care of her. I hope my second brother and sister-in-law will take care of the gathering at the Chang Mansion."

Chen responded with a smile, "Of course, the Duke's Mansion will definitely entertain the eldest sister-in-law's sister and brother-in-law."

"Mother!" Xu Wanfeng pulled Yang's sleeve unconvinced, "How can you just let it go like this!"

Originally Xu Xingyin didn't want to embarrass herself again, but since Xu Wanfeng said so, she didn't express her opinion at all, which made her seem guilty.

"We really can't let this go." Xu Xingyin smiled faintly, looking very generous, "Dangui, come in."

Dangui came in and held the skirt that Xu Wanfeng had just changed in the tray in her hand.

Xu Wanfeng frowned when she saw this, "Xu Xingyin, what tricks are you trying to play now!"

After a tiring day, Xu Xingyin was also tired, so he turned aside and gave instructions to Dangui.

"Dan Gui, tell everyone everything you have investigated."

Dangui quickly agreed, bowed to everyone, and then told everyone what he had just learned.

"The reason why the Second Miss was chased and bitten by Fugui was not Fugui's intention, but someone tampered with the Second Miss's skirt."

As soon as Dan Gui finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to the skirt.

Under the gaze of everyone, Dangui spread the skirt flat on the ground and pointed at the hem.

"Although the smell is very faint, as long as you put out the incense in the house and smell it carefully, you can smell that this place is soaked in a high concentration of bone soup."

It is well known that dogs have a keen sense of smell, not to mention that bones are a favorite food of dogs.

In this way, it can be explained why Fugui chased after Xu Wanfeng.

In fact, when Xu Xingyin was invited to Funing Court by Old Madam Xu, he had already guessed that he would be blamed today.

Therefore, Dangui was sent to the main house to collect evidence early in the morning.

As for how I discovered that there was something wrong with Xu Wanfeng, it was actually quite simple.

Earlier in the yard, Fugui was only chasing after Xu Wanfeng, while Xu Wanmian and Xu Wanjie next to him didn't even spare her a glance.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. After investigating, she actually found some problems.

While Xu Xingyin was recalling, everyone also discovered problems with the skirt, and Xu Wanfeng was so angry that her face turned blue.

"She knew I was going to deliver something to Xu Xingyin's yard and there was a dog in her yard, but she soaked my skirt in bone soup! Who on earth wanted to harm me?"

The washing, storage, and fumigation of Xu Wanfeng's dresses were all the responsibility of the maids and old women in the main house, so it was naturally not appropriate for others to interfere and check.

Therefore, the remaining things are things that the eldest wife has to find out herself.

"After my aunt and my second sister have investigated the matter, please give me a message so that I can know whether this is a coincidence or..."

Xu Xingyin understood this very well. He paused when he said this and glanced at Xu Wanmian and Xu Wanjie.

"Someone designed it on purpose."

Xu Wanfeng, who was severely slapped in the face, didn't care about being angry with Xu Xingyin at this moment.

The only thing on her mind was to go back and punish the maid who was in charge of clothes and jewelry in the house.

His mother, Yang, also looked very unhappy, but she still agreed with a good temper.

"Don't worry, Jiaojiao. If we find out the truth, we will definitely give you an explanation."

Yang's way of addressing Xu Xingyin has changed from his full name to his nickname, which naturally adds a bit of intimacy.

Yang gave face to Xu Xingyin, so Xu Xingyin naturally reciprocated the favor and said with a smile.

"Since this matter was caused by Fugui, I will naturally take full responsibility. I will invite a good doctor to come to our house someday to take a good look at my second sister and make sure she doesn't have any scars."

Yang knew that Xu Xingyin had invited Mr. Huaigu to treat Chen, so she smiled to save face.

"Good boy, you have a heart."

Xu Xingyin did not want to get involved in what happened next, so he stepped forward and held Chen's hand.

"Mother, I'll take you back to the yard."

Chen nodded, whispered a few words of comfort to Yang, and then left with Xu Xingyin.
