After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

How could this be?

Lin Xun, who was supposed to be in Shede Courtyard, having an affair with the Southern Xinjiang witch arranged by the Queen, how could he appear here!

Ye Jin felt vaguely uneasy, as if he was about to meet with a disaster.

"Sister Jin, why do you look so ugly?"

Xiao Xuetang's calm voice made Ye Jin shudder. There was still a trace of fear in her eyes that she hadn't had time to suppress. She looked at Xiao Xuetang and forced a smile and said, "Is... is there? It's probably because today's events were too unexpected. Who do you think harmed Ruoruo like this..."

Ye Jin's inquiring gaze fell on Xiao Xuetang's face, intending to find out some clues from Xiao Xuetang's face, but Xiao Xuetang didn't respond at all.

Xiao Xuetang smiled and said, "Sister Jin has always been well-informed. Why are you so flustered when encountering such a small matter today? Or have you done something wrong and are afraid of being discovered?"

Ye Jin's eyes flashed, and then became fierce. He looked at Xiao Xuetang and said, "What bad things could I do? Xiao Xuetang, stop crying thief! After all, I was accompanying my grandmother and the others in the main hall just now, and the ladies can testify. But you, Xiao Xuetang, have disappeared since you entered the Huguo Temple. Where did you go? Did Xiao Ruoruo's attack have anything to do with you?"

Ye Jin's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Xiao Xuetang.

"I never thought that the eldest lady of the Xiao family would be such a person."

"Yes, it's fine if he doesn't behave himself, but he even doesn't let his cousin go. People like this should be arrested and thrown into a pig cage."

Seeing these people attacking Xiao Xuetang under Ye Jin's instigation, Tianshu was furious and asked Lin Xun, "Master, should we take action?"

Lin Xun glanced at Xiao Xuetang in the crowd. Even though she was being criticized by everyone, she still stood there with a strong figure.

At this moment, the girl's slender and upright back overlapped with the scene in his memory. A trace of gentleness flashed across Lin Xun's eyes that he himself did not notice, and he said, "I have to believe that she can solve it."

If she relied on others for everything, she would not be Xiao Xuetang!

Upon hearing this, Tianshu clenched his fists and retreated again, but his eyes were somewhat unfriendly when he looked at Ye Jin.

This girl doesn’t look very old, so how could she have such a bad mind?

Ye Jin felt very proud when he saw Xiao Xuetang being scolded and attacked.

She didn't know how Xiao Xuetang escaped from her plan today, but... when it comes to manipulating public opinion, how could this group of ancient people be her opponents.

She wanted to trap Xiao Xuetang into proving her innocence!

Even if she couldn't catch Xiao Xuetang committing adultery in public, she would make him the sinner who framed her sisters and had an affair with someone else.

but……

Amid the public outcry, Xiao Xuetang did not fall into the trap set by Ye Jin, but said in a very calm voice:

"Since you keep saying that I was the one who harmed Xiao Ruoruo today, can you produce evidence?"

Ye Jin's eyes dimmed, and then he said confidently: "Isn't Zhang Hua's testimony enough?"

Xiao Xuetang sneered, "How can we trust the words of Zhang Hua, the perpetrator, alone?"

"Secondly, everyone in Kyoto knows that I am engaged to the Third Prince Lin Shaoshu. We grew up together. With the Third Prince as your example, how can you, Zhang Hua, be so confident that I would be interested in you?"

As soon as Xiao Xuetang said this, the group of people who were originally excited burst into laughter.

"That's right. In terms of looks, Zhang Hua is as different from the Third Prince as heaven and earth."

"Yes, Xiao Xuetang is infatuated with the Third Prince. I heard that when the Third Prince was sick last year, Xiao Xuetang copied scriptures for a whole month to pray for him. I don't believe that she has ulterior motives towards the Third Prince, and I don't believe that she hooked up with Zhang Hua!"

"But if Xiao Xuetang didn't ask Zhang Hua out, why would Zhang Hua want to attack her? And what's the relationship between Zhang Hua and Xiao Ruoruo?"

Amid the murmurs of the crowd, Xiao Xuetang spoke quietly, "I heard from the servants in the mansion that Master Zhang has admired my cousin for a long time. The servants in the mansion can testify that you two secretly met in the garden yesterday."

"Zhang Hua, what happened today was not that you wanted to meet Xiao Ruoruo in private, but you didn't expect to be caught by your group of friends and bullied Xiao Ruoruo. Xiao Ruoruo's reputation has been ruined, and you want to join forces to throw this dirty water on me, right?"

When Xiao Xuetang said this, not only Zhang Hua, but even Xiao Ruoruo, who was lying on the Second Madam and pretending to cry, was suddenly at a loss.

Zhang Hua said anxiously, "Xiao Xuetang, you bitch, stop spitting bloody words at me. It's obviously you who's dating me!"

As he was about to catch Xiao Xuetang, but before he could touch Xiao Xuetang, Lin Xun raised his hand and waved...

A green leaf picked casually turned into the sharpest blade in an instant, directly cutting across Zhang Hua's wrist and cutting Zhang Hua's tendons.

Blood splattered everywhere in an instant!

"Ah..." Zhang Hua covered his hand and screamed. The girl, who was originally a little timid, was so scared when she saw the bloody scene that she fainted.

Lin Xun still had no expression on his face. The golden mask glowed coldly in the sunlight, warning Zhang Hua: "If you dare to get close to her again, you won't get your other hand anymore."

Zhang Hua's legs suddenly trembled, and when he met Lin Xun's vicious eyes, he wet his pants.

Seeing how useless he was, the others revealed a look of disgust, which made them more certain of what Xiao Xuetang said.

Although Xiao Xuetang doesn't have a good reputation in Kyoto, she is extremely beautiful. Only a blind person could fall in love with someone like Zhang Hua.

It was because Zhang Hua was so unbearable that the stories he and Ye Jin had carefully tried to frame Xiao Xuetang were all self-defeating.

This makes Xiao Xuetang's speculation just now seem more credible.

Could it be that Xiao Ruoruo and Zhang Hua were having a secret meeting, and that group of playboys found out and took advantage of Xiao Ruoruo? Now that the incident happened, Xiao Ruoruo and Zhang Hua teamed up to throw dirty water on Xiao Xuetang?

Xiao Ruoruo never thought that even though she was in such a miserable situation, Xiao Xuetang could still turn defeat into victory. She was immediately angry and hateful, and looked at Ye Jin for help.

But Ye Jin turned his head away...

In ancient times, women valued their reputation the most, and being attacked by a scoundrel could ruin their lives. But no one expected that under such favorable conditions, Zhang Hua would be so useless and retreat before the battle.

Zhang Hua and Xiao Ruoruo were being used as pawns by Ye Jin without realizing it, and the old lady became furious when she saw Zhang Hua's miserable state.

"My Lord, you are going too far!"

"My nephew has nothing to do with this matter. He was knocked unconscious by them and is injured. Why did you attack him? Are you trying to protect that little bitch Xiao Xuetang?"

Ye Jin's eyes rolled, and then he said softly, "Madam, the Regent has no relationship with my sister, how could he side with my sister? There must be some misunderstanding."

When everyone looked at Lin Xun, there was a hint of complexity in their eyes.

Yes, the regent has never been interested in women, so why is he siding with the eldest lady of the Xiao family today?

What is the relationship between these two...
