Huang Tao glared at Qin Wan and asked, "Is what Prince Lu said true? Do you dare to swear an oath?"

Qin Wan raised her hands repeatedly and said, "I can also swear an oath. I have never seduced Duke Lu, and I have never thrown Shen Nian into the river..."

Lu Yun said, "No, there are many Duke Lu. My brother will also be Duke Lu in the future. You must say that you did not seduce Princess Pingrou's consort, and did not order someone to throw Shen Nian into the lake. Not a single word can be wrong! Don't try to deceive God!"

Qin Wan held up three fingers and said word by word, "I, Qin Wan, swear to heaven that I have never seduced Princess Pingrou's consort, nor have I ordered anyone to throw Shen Nian into the lake. If I break this oath, my entire family will be killed, including all nine generations of my clan!"

After Qin Wan finished speaking through gritted teeth, she looked at Lu Yun and said, "Prince Lu, I will forgive you once because you are my cousin's son, but this Shen Nian has committed adultery twice, and she must not be allowed to stay."

Huang Tao narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Nian who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Come here, bring Shen Nian..."

"Wait a minute."

Lu Ze stepped forward and said, "Since my junior fellow apprentice and Donor Qin have both sworn a solemn oath, one of them must be lying. May I ask why Donor Huang has come here?"

Huang Tao said, "My wife said that a servant saw Shen Nian jump into the lake and commit suicide."

Lu Ze walked up to Qin Wan and asked, "Which servant saw it?"

Qin Wan motioned for the nanny beside her to come out. The nanny walked up to Huang Tao and knelt down, saying, "This old servant saw it with her own eyes. I didn't expect that the young lady didn't commit suicide by jumping into the lake, but was committing adultery."

Lu Ze asked, "From where did you see Master Shen jump into the lake?"

"There!"

The nanny pointed to a location.

Lu Ze stepped forward with a lantern. When everyone approached, he said, "Everyone, stop. This place is close to the lake, and the soil is moist, so footprints can be left. Look, there are more than just one pair of footprints here."

Lu Ze saw a piece of clothing hanging among the flowers by the lake. "This piece of white brocade clothing looks familiar."

Qi Yuning looked at the pieces of white clothing and pointed at Huang Fei and asked, "Why is there a hole in Second Young Master Huang's clothes?"

Lu Ze walked over to Huang Fei's clothes with the fragment and said, "It's a good fit. Why don't you ask Second Young Master Huang to try the footprints?"

Huang Fei repeatedly asked, "So what if I went to the lake? I went to the lake in broad daylight. How could I possibly throw my sister-in-law into the lake?"

Qi Yuning sneered and said, "Master Shuiqing just wanted to see if you had been to the shore, but you confessed so quickly?"

Huang Feilian said to Huang Tao, "Dad, I came here in the afternoon. These footprints don't mean anything at all."

Qi Yuning walked forward with a lantern and found a piece of paper in the bushes. Written on it was Shen Nian's confession letter. She brought the paper to Huang Tao and said, "Master Huang, please take a look at this letter..."

After Huang Tao finished reading, Qi Yuning gave the suicide note to Chen Qian and Ning Wen to read.

Ning Wen angrily said, "This handwriting looks like my son's. My son has never confessed his guilt, but you, the Huang family, are so good as to forge a suicide note and pretend that my son committed suicide out of fear of punishment!

Huang Tao, our Shen and Ning families are not pushovers. We will not let you slander our daughter and kill her for nothing! "

Shen Nian threw herself into Ning Wen’s arms and said, “Foster mother.”
