Chapter 143 Visit

"You'er!" When Liu saw Yuan Ziyou coming, she hurried forward and took Yuan Ziyou's hand, asking with concern: "Did you suffer any injustice when you went to the Meng Mansion today?"

"Don't worry, mother, You'er has not been wronged!" Yuan Ziyu hurriedly took Liu's arm and said with a smile.

"If you have been wronged, you are not allowed to hide it. You must tell your mother." Liu thought that Yuan Ziyu only reported good news and not bad news, so she hurriedly reminded him.

Come to think of it, such rumors must have spread among the circle of noble ladies a long time ago. If those noble ladies saw Yuan Ziyu, they would probably try to avoid her and would not even greet her. When Liu thought that her precious daughter might have suffered a great injustice, her heart ached.

"Really, mother!" Yuan Ziyu saw that Liu didn't believe him, so he hurriedly said, "If you don't believe me, just ask Qingying and Qingzhi!"

Upon hearing this, Liu looked at Qingying and Qingzhi behind Yuan Ziyu.

Qingying smiled and said, "Madam, the second young lady has indeed not been wronged."

Qingzhi even said, "Madam, that's not all. The Second Miss also beat up Third Miss Liu and frightened Third Miss Chen so much that she didn't dare to say a word."

"That's how it should be. We must never be bullied!" Yuan Zining clapped his hands in applause after hearing Qingzhi's words.

"Mom, now you can trust me, right?" Seeing Liu who was relieved, Yuan Ziyu took Liu's arm and rubbed it coquettishly, saying with a smile.

Liu let Yuan Ziyou stay beside her and said, "That's good. What did Qingzhi say just now?"

Seeing that his father and two brothers were also looking at him, Yuan Ziyu repeated to them what had happened in the Meng Mansion.

After hearing these words, everyone in the Yuan family was furious. Yuan Qifeng slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "I will go to the Taifu Mansion right now and seek an explanation from Taifu Liu!"

"That's right, she is so vicious. Miss Liu San has a completely black heart!" Liu was also very angry.

Yuan Zian and Yuan Zining were even more furious. Yuan Zian was relatively calm, but Yuan Zining couldn't wait any longer and said, "That's right, now we have evidence. We should quickly seek justice for my little sister."

Yuan Zi'an said quietly, "We should also seek an explanation from Master Chen of the Ministry of Public Administration."

"Of course, you two can go with dad!" Yuan Qifeng nodded.

Just as the father and his two sons were about to leave the house, they heard the doorman report that the Marquis Xuanping and his wife and the Crown Prince had arrived to visit.

"Please go to the main hall!" Yuan Qifeng ordered hurriedly.

"Brother Huo! Sister-in-law!" The five members of the Yuan family hurried to the main hall. As soon as they entered the main hall, Yuan Qifeng clasped his fists towards Marquis Xuanping and his wife.

Yuan Ziyu and several younger generations greeted each other one by one, and then everyone sat down as host and guest.

Huo Lixiu said to Yuan Qifeng, "Brother Yuan, we heard from Wan'er about You's matter. We can't let this matter go. We came to you today to ask for an explanation from the Grand Tutor's Mansion. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Brother Huo, that's exactly what we meant!" Yuan Qifeng said hurriedly.

"In that case, let's go without further delay!" Huo Lixiu stood up and said after hearing this.

When Huo Lixiu heard about this today, he was furious. Yuan Ziyu was the future mistress of their Xuanping Marquis Mansion. To be slandered like this was simply a sign that she didn't take their Xuanping Marquis Mansion seriously.

Such a thing cannot be easily covered up, so naturally we have to find an explanation.

Yuan Qifeng and Huo Lixiu went to the Taifu Mansion. The Yuan brothers and Huo Xifei naturally followed behind them. When Huo Xifei passed by Yuan Ziyou, he whispered to her, "Well done!"

When Yuan Ziyu heard this, he smiled so hard that his eyes curved.

"Sister Meng, let's go back to my courtyard!" Liu said to Meng, "By the way, why don't you see Wan'er?"

As Meng followed Liu back, she said, "This girl went out all day today. Her nanny went to look for her. She wanted to make up for today's lessons, so she didn't come back!"

Yuan Ziyu listened from the side and thought that Huo Wan must be depressed, so she couldn't help but smile secretly.

After Meng finished speaking, she stroked Yuan Ziyu's hair and said, "I'm sorry, You'er, I've wronged you this time!"

Yuan Ziyou laughed and said, "Aunt Meng, I've already taken my revenge right here and now!"

Mrs. Meng thought of the scene Huo Wan had described and couldn't help but smile. "Yes, that's exactly how it should be. We shouldn't provoke others, but we can't be afraid of trouble either. If someone provokes us, we can just fight back. Don't be afraid. Your father, your brother, your Uncle Huo, and Fei'er will all support you!"

"Well, You'er, don't be afraid!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.

When they arrived at Liufeng Garden, Yuan Ziyu stayed with Liu and Meng, and ordered Qingying to go back to Wuyou Pavilion to get some prepared snacks. The three of them ate snacks and drank tea in Liufeng Garden, waiting for news from the men.

Back at the Taifu Mansion, Taifu Liu was taking a nap in his room when he suddenly heard the servant report that General Yuan and Marquis Xuanping were visiting. He was immediately surprised and didn't know why these two people came suddenly. He hurriedly ordered the servant to invite them to the flower hall, straightened his clothes, and hurried to the flower hall.

Although the imperial concubine in the palace is quite favored by the current emperor, the Marquis Xuanping is not only a marquis, but also has military merits. Taifu Liu naturally dare not neglect him.

"Lord Huo, General Yuan!" As soon as he entered the flower hall, Grand Tutor Liu smiled and bowed, saluting Huo and Yuan.

"Master Liu!" Huo Lixiu and Yuan Qifeng did not stand up, but just nodded lightly with a very cold expression.

This made Taifu Liu secretly surprised. He didn't know what the intentions of these two people were. Why did they look like they had bad intentions?

Imperial Tutor Liu hurriedly ordered tea to be served, then said with a smile, "I wonder what brings Lord Huo and General Yuan here today?"

Huo Lixiu gave Master Liu a cold look and asked, "Master, don't you know?"

Huo Lixiu's eyes made Taifu Liu secretly surprised and even more confused: "I really don't know, please tell me clearly, my lord!"

"Hmph!" Yuan Qifeng snorted coldly, "Master Taifu, I, Yuan, have come here today to ask you a question: how did my daughter offend the Third Young Lady of your mansion? To have someone spread such rumors, not only to ruin my daughter's reputation, but also to put her to death? How deep is this hatred?"

Yuan Qifeng's words made Liu Taifu stand up suddenly: "General Yuan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want!"

"Nonsense?" Huo Xifei stood up and said coldly, "The daughter of Master Chen of the Tongzhengsi admitted it herself that it was your daughter who instructed her to spread rumors about my fiancée. Are you going to deny it, Grand Tutor Liu?"

"What?" Imperial Tutor Liu frowned deeply, then turned and asked the servant, "Go see where the Third Young Lady is and ask her to come to the hall."
