Lord Guan was puzzled, "Who is A-Ling?"

He turned his head to look at the butler beside him.

The butler paused for a moment, then subconsciously glanced in Rong Shang's direction.

He then confessed honestly, "Sir, Mr. A-Ling is the young lady's lover."

It would have been better if the butler hadn't said anything, but then he did.

Lord Guan's expression completely changed.

"What?"

His sharp gaze immediately swept over Rong Shang.

"Guan Shuqing, didn't I tell you to behave yourself, stay at home, and wait to marry Shen Changling?"

What is she doing?

"Father……"

I wonder what grievance he suffered.

The woman's lips trembled, and she suddenly sobbed softly, "Father, your daughter knows she was wrong."

“I shouldn’t have disobeyed my father and insisted on being with that man.”

"I...I regret it."

regret?

Guan Shuli frowned; she truly had no idea what this person was up to.

How could she possibly regret it?

But the next second, she cried to Master Guan, "My sister also likes Mr. A-Ling."

"..."

"You, all of you!" Lord Guan said angrily, "Look what you've done while I'm away."

Is it reasonable for two sisters to be entangled with one man?

Lord Guan was furious, and none of the group dared to speak.

Lord Guan was furious. "Bring this man, Ah Ling, to see me."

"Master, Mr. A-Ling went out this evening and hasn't returned."

"Yes, yes." Rong Shang wiped her tears from her face. "Father, I'm injured, and he still won't come to see me. He, he..."

Rong Shang cried, "This heartless bastard."

She's crying so hard.

The butler frowned, now somewhat doubting what A-Ling's true purpose was.

After thinking for a moment, he felt it was necessary to clarify some things. "Master, Mr. A-Ling came back in the evening. At that time, the eldest young lady, the second young lady, and the second concubine were all in the backyard."

The young lady kept saying that she was knocked unconscious by a masked man.

Judging from the second concubine's reaction just now, she must have had a conflict with the second young lady because of this person.

So……

The butler now had a bold idea: "Master, in your opinion, could it be this Ah Ling who caused the injury?"

What?

Guan Shuli's pupils widened. "It wasn't him, it wasn't him."

It wasn't that she wanted to protect that person.

Guan Shuli felt that if suspicion really fell on A Ling, then the matter would never end.

When she denied it, Lord Guan looked at her with sharp eyes.

He scoffed and said to her, "You're still protecting him."

"Tell me, did you already know about this all along?"

"I, I didn't." Guan Shuli shook his head desperately. "Father, there were only the three of us this evening. A-Ling didn't come here at all."

“I admit that I had a small conflict with my mother because of A-Ling’s matter. But then, for some reason, Guan Shuqing suddenly rushed up and pushed my mother down, and knocked me unconscious.”

Do you believe it?

Does anyone believe that?

Obviously not.

The butler said something fair: "I heard the second young lady shouting 'Stop thief!' in the evening, but when I got there, the eldest young lady had already fainted..."

"Old Li!" Guan Shuli couldn't help but interject, "What are you talking about? I was already unconscious at that time. When did I shout 'Stop thief'?"

Someone, “…”

Of course, it was me in disguise.

Well, always keep something in reserve.

The butler said with a serious face, "Second Miss, it was definitely your voice I heard back then."

"Yeah yeah."

Others who heard the cries for help also came forward to testify.

Guan Shuli was stunned, "..."

She really didn't.
