No matter how brave Xu Xingyin was, she was still an unmarried girl. How could she have ever seen such a scene?

She immediately retreated outside the door with the other sisters, and asked the maid who was in charge of the farm to go into the house and wake people up.

Not far away, the fire had been put out by the farmers.

Thousands of thoughts were clogged in his mind, making Xu Xingyin unable to make sense of it for a while.

Xu Wanlin and Xu Wanjie were also dumbfounded. No one had expected that Xu Wanru, who had always been the most honest, could do such a thing.

I was caught by them and I was so embarrassed.

Only when Xu Wanru walked out of the door with a flushed face did Xu Xingyin clench his hands and force himself to calm down and make arrangements in an orderly manner.

"First tie up that man for me, and send someone down the mountain to the Duke's Mansion to invite grandmother, father, mother, and fourth uncle and fourth aunt to come up."

"Dan Feng, please ask Miss Eight to come to my yard and sit for a while. I will take good care of her and make sure she doesn't get into any trouble."

"Danying, go and collect all the incense, food, and pillows from the sisters' rooms, and ask a doctor to come and check them one by one tomorrow. I don't believe that there is nothing wrong with the items. They wouldn't make any noise in such a big fire!"

"Dan Gui, please register all the servants who are accompanying us tonight and interrogate them thoroughly to find out who was the first to drink and miss such an important event!"

"Captain Wu, I'd like you to investigate the fire."

Only after arranging all this did Xu Xingyin breathe a sigh of relief.

He severely beat up the maids who had just witnessed Xu Wanrui's incident to make sure that the matter would not escalate further before returning to the yard with the Xu sisters to rest.

It’s said to be a rest, but who can still sleep after such a big thing happened?

The three of them sat on the Arhat bed, each with their own thoughts, but no one spoke.

After sitting there for most of the night, Xu Xingyin gradually figured out something was going on. It seemed that someone with ulterior motives had set up a trap and was waiting for her here today.

I have to say, this person set up a good game.

If I go to bed early tonight, I am afraid that by the time others find me tomorrow, the sisters of the Xu family who followed me up the mountain will be nothing but a pile of dried bones.

Even if someone discovered this and saved their lives, the discovery of Xu Wanru's affair later would also be a scandal. No matter what, it was Xu Wanru who was invited out by himself, so there is no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives would not say that he was the one who allowed his sister to have an affair!

If you put on such a hat, not only yourself, but also the sisters who are traveling with you will be in trouble.

What a cruel plan.

Except for Xu Wanfeng and Xu Wanmian who did not come, all the girls near the Duke's Mansion were captured.

In this case, even if Xu Xingyin used a strand of hair to think, he would have known that it was a trap set by Aunt Liu.

Xu Xingyin was really curious about the man, so after greeting Xu Wanlin and the others, he went to the room where Xu Wanzhi was locked up.

Xu Wanzhi was sitting on the bed, and one could tell from her eyes that she had already cried a lot.

As soon as Xu Xingyin came in, Xu Wanru rushed over and grabbed Xu Xingyin's hand.

"Seventh sister, please don't make things difficult for Bai Lang. I did this willingly. I did this willingly..."

When Xu Xingyin saw Xu Wanru like this, there was nothing she didn't understand. She was worried before that Xu Wanru was forced by someone, but now she saw that the two of them were actually in love with each other. It turned out that they had caught someone else doing something good!

"absurd!"

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin pushed Xu Wanru's hand away in frustration.

"What's going on? If you don't explain this matter clearly, you will be in trouble when the elders come tomorrow!"

Xu Wanru staggered back two steps and fell into a chair. She cried and told Xu Xingyin about her and that "Bai Lang".

Bai Lang's real name is Bai Shaotong, and he is an actor from the Lingxian Opera Troupe in the capital.

At that Hundred Flowers Banquet, Xu Wanru accidentally met Bai Shaotong who was invited to perform.

Bai Shaotong was born with a good appearance and a sweet mouth, how could a girl like Xu Wanru, who was just beginning to fall in love, resist him?

In order to meet Bai Shaotong, Xu Wanzhi often sneaked out of the house to watch Bai Shaotong's performances at the Lingxian Opera Troupe.

The Lingxian Opera Troupe is one of the best opera troupes in the capital, and has huge expenses. They spent all their savings in a short period of time for Bai Shao and Xu Wanru, so they had to borrow money from Xu Xingyin later.

Every time Xu Wanru went out, she dressed up as a maid and looked dirty. Now that she had a rare opportunity to go out openly, Xu Wanru was very happy and secretly asked Bai Shaotong to come.

The two had originally planned to have a tryst here, so Xu Wanru specifically asked for this house which was far away.

As night falls and love deepens, some things just happen naturally.

When Xu Wanru entrusted herself to Bai Shaotong, she felt that she had found a beautiful love like that in the storybooks, but she didn't know that it would cause such an uproar...

After hearing what Xu Wanru said, Xu Xingyin couldn't help but sigh.

The relationship between the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt has always been unharmonious, but they were forcibly bound together because of family interests, so Xu Wanru grew up in the sound of her parents' quarrels since she was a child.

Xu Wanru, who grew up in such an environment, placed all her spiritual hopes on the storybooks.

She always hoped that there would be a great hero like the ones in the novels who could lead her out of this unfortunate home.

Between the ferocious faces of quarreling day and night and Bai Shaotong's sweet talk, Xu Wanru chose the latter without hesitation, even though she knew it might not be a good idea.

This made Xu Xingyin speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

After a long silence, Xu Xingyin handed Xu Wanru a clean handkerchief.

"It's your own choice, we have no right to interfere, but as a sister, I hope you can consider it carefully. Marriage is not a momentary impulse. It takes a lifetime to pay the price."

After saying this, Xu Xingyin turned and left the house.

The moonlight outside was just right, and Xu Xingyin didn't want to go back and disturb Xu Wanlin and the others' rest, so he just sat on the stone bench outside all night.

The moonlight was dim, which made her heart calm down.

This matter was a family scandal, and everyone in the Duke's Mansion took it very seriously. Old Lady Xu and her entourage arrived at the farm early the next morning.

The group went straight into the yard where Xu Wanzhi was imprisoned. The old women and servants stood guard every three steps and surrounded the yard like an iron barrel.

Except for a few elders from the Duke's Mansion and the maids on the farm who knew the situation, everyone else was kept outside the courtyard.

The same thing happened to Xu Xingyin and her sisters. They could only wander outside the yard, worrying.

Although they were right at the gate of the courtyard, they could not hear a word. It was not until Bai Shaotong was taken into the courtyard that they could occasionally hear some crying.

It is said that even an honest judge finds it difficult to judge family disputes. This matter was investigated for two full hours before the Xu family members came out with tired faces.

The sisters who had been waiting for a long time hurried forward to pay their respects, but saw Xu Xiuzhu quickly take a few steps and slapped Xu Xingyin on the face.
