Chapter 169 Innocence

Hu Xin'er sneered, "Madam Guo is truly a strategist! Do you think that by destroying me, Young Master Lu's wife, you can force the Second Young Miss to marry Lu Yunjue?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience fell silent.

The Duke's wife's mind went blank and she was speechless.

The servants looked at each other in confusion. Who could tell them why the cousin of the Lu family suddenly became the young lady of the Lu family?

And the extramarital affair case that shocked the entire mansion today was actually orchestrated by the Duke's wife?

"Are you crazy?" A weak voice came from the crowd, and everyone nodded in unanimously.

Just based on her, is she worthy of Lu Yunjue?

"Xin'er!"

Amidst everyone's questioning gazes, Mu Qing stepped forward and hugged Hu Xiner tightly.

Hu Xiner hugged him back to comfort him, and immediately received countless envious and jealous looks.

Xuanyuan Huili, who was sitting beside her, stared at her with an extremely cold look.

Hu Xin'er smiled provocatively: "Is it disappointing for you to see me standing here innocently?"

The Duke's wife came to her senses and hurriedly protected Xuanyuan Huili: "Stop slandering me. What does your innocence have to do with our Duke's Mansion?"

"Didn't you plan this all by yourself, wanting to frame me for adultery and force Lu Yunjue to divorce his wife and marry Xuanyuan Huili instead?" Hu Xiner asked pointedly.

"This is absolutely ridiculous!" The Duke's wife straightened her back and shouted, "How could the second young lady of our Duke's Mansion, a daughter of a rich family, do such a despicable thing just to flirt with Lu Yunjue!"

At the same time, she glanced majestically at the servants, who were all trembling all over and dared not look or listen to her for another moment.

Some smart people have already started to regret getting involved in this mess.

But her behavior could intimidate the servants, but not Hu Xiner!

"Then swear!"

Hu Xiner threw out a few words lightly, but the Duke's wife froze all over.

"If you tell even a single lie, your daughter will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

The Duke's wife wanted to say, isn't it just an oath? Could it be that God is watching from heaven?

But his mouth was trembling and he couldn't utter a word.

That was her own daughter! How could she curse her own precious daughter?

Hu Xin'er shouted sternly, "What? You, the wife of a Duke, don't dare to swear?"

"You, a junior, dare to offend your superiors!" The Duke's wife was furious. "Is this the family education in the Lu Mansion?"

Hu Xin'er sneered and clapped her hands. "You're cheating now that you can't win? Jing'an, it looks like it's your turn to be useful!"

Xuanyuan Jing'an jumped down from the tree and ran in excitedly: "Master, I'm amazing. I kept my eyes on this bad guy the whole time, and no one noticed!"

"You are so young, but you already have the demeanor of a hero!" Hu Xiner praised with a smile, but her palms were slightly sweaty.

She wasn't sure if Jing'an would speak for her.

After all, the Duke's wife is his real family.

"Everyone, listen carefully! This man sneaked into the house today, and I..."

Fortunately, Jing'an was full of chivalry and proudly recounted the entire process of the man from entering the house to going to the kitchen and finally being carried out.

The servants also came to their senses. The Duke's wife kept saying that Hu Xin'er was having an affair, but when such a scandal occurred in the mansion, not only did she not cover it up, she also allowed the servants to watch.

And this adulterer was actually brought in by Nanny Zhou and carried to the bed!

Even a fool would understand what was going on.

Hu Xin'er bowed to all around and said, "Today, I ask everyone present to bear witness. The Duke's wife brought a man from outside the palace and deliberately framed me for an affair. This behavior is extremely despicable!"

No one dared to respond to him.

Although the servants didn't dare to say anything, dozens of eyes were staring at the Duke's wife and Nanny Zhou.

The Duke's wife was terrified, but she stubbornly said, "You can't trust a child, let alone this little devil Xuanyuan Jing'an? He's always talking nonsense!"

She seemed to have found a punching bag and scolded Xuanyuan Jing'an, "You little bastard, how dare you frame your own elders just for the favors given by others!"

Hu Xin'er was speechless: "For the sake of the Second Young Lady, are you going to scold even your own grandson?"

Xuanyuan Jing'an said angrily: "You are the one who lied!"

The Duke's wife raised her hand and wanted to teach him a lesson!

Seeing that she wanted to beat the only child in the mansion, the servants immediately whispered, "Madam Guogong is going too far..."

"After all, he's not my own grandson! When the eldest lady was alive, the young master was very well-behaved. I think the Duke's wife is doing this on purpose..."

From the servants' chatter, Hu Xiner pieced together the truth.

Xuanyuan Jing'an was born to the late eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke's wife is not the eldest daughter's biological mother, but her second wife!

After the eldest daughter passed away, the originally well-behaved Xuanyuan Jing'an was taken to the mansion to be raised, and then he became more and more naughty.

No wonder she would do anything for Xuanyuan Huili, she is her only daughter!

No wonder Xuanyuan Jing'an was so excited when testifying. It seemed that the Duke's wife was not very nice to him in the past.

General Xuanyuan was busy with court affairs, and he felt that the Duchess's wife was a cheerful and straightforward woman, so he trusted her very much.

Who would have thought that the peasant girl he married home had quietly transformed into a master of house fighting in this square walled courtyard, and how many vicious thoughts she had hidden?

Although Xuanyuan Jing'an is just a child, he still knows who is good to him and who is not!

He just couldn't express himself clearly. Even if he asked General Xuanyuan to take charge, under the influence of the Duke's wife, it would eventually become his fault.

He simply gave up on himself and spent all day causing trouble in the mansion.

The servants' implicit condemnation in their eyes made the Duke's wife feel quite uncomfortable, and the anger in her heart burned even more fiercely.

How many years has it been? How dare someone look at her like that!

That person is her nemesis. Even if he dies, he will give birth to a son to annoy her!

"Mom!" Xuanyuan Huili tugged at the corner of her clothes and stood up weakly.

She originally planned to hide behind the Duke's wife, but she didn't expect Jing'an to appear halfway.

Seeing that the Duke's wife was about to lose her mind, she hurriedly wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes: "Jing'an, how could you help outsiders to anger Grandmother?"

Then he looked at Hu Xin'er with tears in his eyes: "Mrs. Lu, I just saw you lying with someone with my own eyes. How could I have known that you were not in the bed when you came back? So I misunderstood you. I'm sorry!"

This was openly an apology, but implicitly implied that Hu Xin'er had lost her innocence.

Everyone looked at Mu Qing and Hu Xiner with sympathy.

At this time, Feng Ge staggered out, holding his injured head and asking, "What happened?"

When everyone saw him, they thought he was the foreign man brought in by the Duke's wife, and they all called him shameless.

Some people also threw vegetable leaves and eggs.

As a result, another naked man also walked out of the house...

Everyone was petrified, and Hu Xiner silently covered Jing'an's eyes.
