Wan Shuxue thought about her foolish actions and how Shi Ning had secretly watched her say such stupid things.

She felt ashamed and angry, and when she got angry she cried, tears streaming down her face.

"I don't want to talk, and I don't want to stay here. I'm leaving now."

Wan Shuxue cried as she left, not even glancing at her father.

Tang Baozhu pulled Wan Shuxue aside, saying, "If you've been wronged, you can't just run away crying. Stay and explain things clearly."

Then, she looked up at Uncle Wan and said, "Uncle Wan, I'm sorry. I had something to do and wasn't with Xiaoxue, which made her suffer."

The father was strict with his daughter, but that didn't mean he didn't love her.

He looked down at Wan Shuxue, who was crying silently and didn't even want to speak. "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Wan Shuxue looked up at Shi Ning, wanting to say that she had lied to her.

However, she was afraid that her father would be angry and take it out on Shi Ning.

She shook her head silently, her voice choked with sobs, "No one bullied me, I want to go home."

Wan's father looked at Wan Shuxue strangely.

He hasn't even started asking yet.

Tang Baozhu said, "Uncle Wan, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."

Mr. Wan looked down at her and said, "In this situation, if you hesitated, then you shouldn't have said it."

Tang Baozhu was stunned again.

Wan's father said to Wan Shuxue, "The banquet has just begun. Stay a little longer. Aren't you playing very well with Xiao Ning?"

Speaking of Shi Ning.

Wan Shuxue, who was trying very hard not to shed tears, suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes again.

She looked at Shi Ning with resentment, grievance, and hurt.

The puppy's eyes looked like they had been abandoned and were heartbroken.

Ning felt guilty while watching, as if she were a terrible woman who had deceived Wan Shuxue both emotionally and sexually.

"Xiaoxue..."

Wan Shuxue hid directly behind her father, saying, "I don't want to hear what you have to say, I don't want to see you, your affairs have nothing to do with me, don't drag me into this."

Wan's father was even more puzzled.

Tang Baozhu was overjoyed. Looking at Wan's father, she said, "I shouldn't have said this, as it would have ruined the family reunion banquet that Grandpa was organizing."

"However, since it concerns Xiaoxue's reputation, even if I shouldn't say it, I have to say it."

Mr. Wan glanced at Shi Ning's family, then turned back to look at Wan Shuxue, who looked extremely aggrieved.

He then raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

Tang Baozhu wasted no time and said directly, "Xiaoxue told me that Shi Ning is going to help her cause trouble at the family reunion banquet and ruin the relationship between Shi family's young lady Lin Chunyan and my fourth brother Tang Qingshu."

Mentioning this matter, Madam Tang looked embarrassed and angrily interrupted, "Baozhu! Stop talking! Haven't you done enough? Aren't you ashamed enough?"

Her most beloved youngest son had actually slept with a maid!

Madam Tang felt utterly humiliated.

And now, Tang Baozhu actually wants to bring this matter up to the king!

How will the king view the way the Tang family educates their children?

Will the Tang family be given important positions again in the future?

Father Wan glanced sternly at Madam Tang and asked Tang Baozhu, "What's going on?"

Tang Qingshu interrupted anxiously, "Sister..."

With just a casual glance from Wan's father, Tang Qingshu could only swallow the rest of his words.

With Wan's father present, no one dared to interrupt Tang Baozhu.

Even when Wan Shuxue tried to interrupt, she was deterred by her father's fierce glare.

Tang Baozhu then wrote the book in one go.

"Uncle Wan, here's what happened. Xiaoxue likes my fourth brother, but my fourth brother is dating Lin Chunyan, the young lady the Shi family just recognized."

"Xiaoxue was very sad and shared her feelings with Shi Ning, but Shi Ning is, well, a very strong-willed person, and also very loyal."

"So I suggested to Xiaoxue that she sabotage Lin Chunyan's family reunion banquet today, and then arrange some unexpected events at the banquet, so that Xiaoxue would be in the same room as my fourth brother, and be..."

Tang Baozhu hesitated for a moment before saying the most hurtful thing, "If everyone catches them in bed together, Uncle Wan will agree to let Xiaoxue marry my fourth brother for the sake of Xiaoxue's reputation."

Tang Qingshu closed his eyes.

Sister, things are not going according to our plan.

However, the king forbade him to speak or interrupt.

This made Tang Qingshu extremely anxious, but he was also relieved that none of these things had actually happened, even though Ning had this thought at the time.

That's enough to smear Shi Ning!

Wan Shuxue stared wide-eyed at Tang Baozhu, "Sister Baozhu, Shi Ning didn't..."

Tang Baozhu interrupted her, "Xiaoxue, you are very kind. I know you also think that Shi Ning is doing this for your own good, so you don't want to talk about her."

"But that's the truth, and I can't hurt you."

As she spoke, she looked up and pleaded with Uncle Wan, "Uncle Wan, Shi Ning didn't mean it that way; she was doing it for Xiaoxue's own good."

"I hope Uncle Wan won't blame me or take his anger out on Shi Ning."
