"Young man, you have no sense of propriety."

"She's just a courtesan in a brothel; it seems she deliberately seduced me..."

What are you talking about?!

A hurried and angry voice drowned out the murmurs of the crowd. Xin Kui rushed through the crowd, her hairpin askew.

"Liu'er, are you alright!" She held the drowning songstress in her arms, her face full of resentment. "We came here innocently to celebrate Master Qi's birthday. Just because we are of lowly status, are we to be insulted by you for no reason?!"

She looked up at Qi Huaiyu, speaking with great sorrow, making it difficult for others to continue their gossip.

When Qi Huaiyu saw her appear, he was suddenly stunned. He was the one who asked Xin Kui to seduce Qi Huaihe so that Qi Huaihe would lose face. How could she be here!

"you……"

Before he could speak, Xin Kui cried out, "My Liu'er is only fifteen years old and has just started learning the zither from me. Today I wanted to bring her out to see the world, but I never expected her to suffer such humiliation from a scoundrel like you! Young master, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing such a despicable thing!"

As she spoke with increasing grief and indignation, Liu'er also burst into tears.

"Sister Kui, I'm so scared. He said if I don't comply, he'll crush me like an ant. I...I..."

"That's outrageous!" Qi Xinghui, who hated evil the most, immediately looked at Qi Huaiyu upon hearing this, "I never thought you were such a despicable person!"

Qi Huaiyu's face turned ashen; he never expected Xin Kui to pull this stunt.

Looking at the three women together, it's clear that this was Xin Jiuwei's doing!

He immediately looked coldly at Xin Jiuwei, but Xin Jiuwei was not afraid of him at all, because she had her back to the crowd and did not see her smile at Qi Huaiyu.

Qi Huaiyu, you're allowed to frame my brother and cousin in public, but I'm not allowed to retaliate?

The feeling of being unable to defend oneself must be unpleasant, right?
