The girl disappeared after a while
In the Xu family’s villa
How come it disappeared? Do I need to tell you
Everyone showed a subtle and complex smile, knowing what was going on, and at the same time, the expressions on Mr. Xu's faces became a little weird - they were wondering how Mr. Xu had caught the eye of the imperial envoy and how he could be treated so differently by the imperial envoy.
I see.
A young man from the Wang family couldn't help laughing out loud, and then he covered his mouth to cover it up, muttering, "No wonder, if I had known this would happen, I would have told you earlier. The Xu family isn't the only one with a daughter!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Immediately, someone added, "It's true that every family has a daughter, but not every family is shameless."
The implication is that it was extremely shameless for the Xu family to send their daughter to Shen Chen's bed.
Mr. Xu's face turned pale and blue, he was sure that he had never done such a thing - his alliance with Shen Chen had already been firmly established, there was no need to use these little tricks.
Not only would it be unpleasant to hear if it got out, it would also easily anger the Chen family. This was not what Shen Chen had expected. How could he do such a stupid thing? !
But now his own mother-in-law has indeed come out and said that his daughter is missing.
The old woman in my family would never speak without reason. It is possible that she is really missing, or she may have secretly followed him to the other courtyard.
He knew that Xu Jiaojiao had always been dissatisfied with the Chen family's marriage and had always refused to marry, so the marriage had been delayed. Maybe someone had really instigated her to climb into Shen Chen's bed.
Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It's not just a question of my daughter's innocence.
If this were true, Shen Chen would probably be angry.
This is different from playing with a few maids and singers. The girls of the Xu family are of status after all. Now the news has spread widely, and the impact on Shen Chen's reputation will be too great.
Shen Chen will definitely be angry.
He felt a headache and sobered up immediately. He kicked the woman and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?! The girl is staying at home well. Have you drunk too much yellow wine and don't know who you are?! Go back?!"
Can't admit it.
Even if it is true, you have to pretend that it never happened. Then quietly cover it up and regard yourself as having suffered a loss. You must not let anyone know about it.
His eyes were a little red, and he was anxious to cover up the matter and then go to see what was going on with Shen Chen.
But the problem is, he wants to solve it quietly, but some people don't want to let him get away with it so easily.
Under the sarcasm and ridicule, Master Chen finally couldn't control his emotions and stood up.
There is no father who does not love his children, and no father can tolerate his son being called a fool and ridiculed as a cuckold in public.
At this time, nothing could stop him, as a father, from seeking justice for his son.
With red eyes, he stopped Mr. Xu and asked the old woman, "Say what you just said in front of so many people, in front of these adults, again?!"
For so many years, the girl from the Xu family has always been lukewarm towards his son, and he has accepted it. After all, the girl has indeed been treated unfairly.
But after so many years, the Xu family has never openly said that they want to cancel the engagement!
It is precisely because of this that their Chen family has tried their best to help the Xu family so that the Xu family will not be completely devoured by the other two families.
If the girl from the Xu family really did something shameful, then there was nothing to say, it was what it was. Even if he was ridiculed, he had to seek justice for his son.
You know, it’s not their family’s fault.
The girl hasn't even entered the family yet and she's still a member of the Xu family. It's a shame for the Xu family.
The Chen family is upright and honest, what are they afraid of
Mr. Xu swallowed hard, almost unable to stand, and anxiously wanted to explain to Mr. Chen: "This is not true, why are you making up stories like that?!"
Even if something really happened, it has to be covered up!
But Master Chen refused to listen. He felt that he had treated his eldest son badly since he was a child and felt sorry for him. Now he couldn't control his emotions at all. He just felt that he was being humiliated. "Don't say anything. Let this woman finish her words first!"
There was a good show to watch, and everyone was waiting and watching with great interest.
The old woman trembled and as if afraid that others might not have heard her clearly, she repeated what she had said before.
The girl entered Shen Chen's yard. She saw it with her own eyes. She spoke about it without blushing or panting.
The more Master Chen listened, the uglier his expression became.
In the end, apart from the Wang family, no one expressed any opinion. Even the Liu family sighed and said, "Why don't we go and take a look? This is causing a lot of trouble in the city, and it's not good for the reputation of the imperial envoy. If it's true, then... at most, the Xu family's daughter has married into a rich family! This is also a good thing! If it's false, then it can be proved to be a misunderstanding, and everyone will be relieved. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?!"
They had said everything they could, and now Mr. Xu felt as if he was standing on a cliff. It was neither right to move forward nor to retreat, and he was completely confused.
He wanted to say no, but no one would pay attention to him.
Master Chen was extremely furious, and everyone around him wanted to see him make a fool of himself, or use this as an excuse to bring Shen Chen down, or get some benefits. They were all just there to stir up trouble, and no one wanted to make a big thing a small one.
He didn't even know how he was pushed to the gate of Shen Chen's courtyard. He looked up in a daze at the dark courtyard with only two lamps burning at the gate. He felt that it was a huge monster that had swallowed up Shen Chen and his daughter, and would soon swallow him up.
He took a deep breath.
After tidying up her clothes, she took a step forward under the urging of the crowd. Just as she was stumbling up the stairs, she heard the courtyard door creak open. Shen Chen's guards flashed out and asked them with gloomy eyes, "My lords, what's going on? Has the Oiran already started her performance?"
This guard was recognized by Mr. Xu Dashan, who knew that he was a favored guard beside Shen Chen. He immediately said hurriedly: "We... We just came to ask, is there anyone suspicious here, Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy?"
Qing Feng crossed his arms and looked at him suspiciously before asking, "What suspicious person?"
Mr. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hands again: "Nothing, nothing." He turned around and looked at the people who were watching the show and said: "You also saw it..."
