“No.” Chu Zhao buried his head in his knees. “An Erle told the instructors that I was very irritable when I woke up, as if I had mental problems. Then, on the advice of several young masters from noble families, they tied me up in a dark room. But I clearly remember that I did nothing when I first woke up.”

Qiao Zhen punched her left shoulder with her right fist. "Come on, here's my shoulder for you. Don't be too touched." She forcefully turned Chu Zhao's head onto her shoulder. "Don't worry, don't fret too much. I'm here for you."

"Mmm." Chu Zhao rested her head on Qiao Zhen's shoulder, looking like she was about to cry.

【Chuchu, what exactly happened to Chu Zhao? Have him checked.】

I'll try my best, but really, don't get your hopes up too high.

A short while later, Chu Chu relayed the general situation to Qiao Zhen.

Qiao Zhen received it in her mind.

The gist of the story is this: An Erle secretly climbed into Chu Zhao's bed that day, and the next day, all the scions of noble families unanimously defended An Erle.

An Erle and those people seemed to have a purpose, clearly acting under someone's instructions, but who would have a grudge against Chu Zhao?

Moreover, An Erle doesn't seem like a woman who would damage her chastity just to slander others, but Chu Zhao's family background is not bad either. He is the only son of a first-class business family in the capital, and many people are eager to be called the young mistress of Chu.

Thinking about it this way, An Erle's actions can be explained. However, it's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Chu Zhao is the cicada, An Erle is the mantis, so who is the oriole?

"Chu Zhao, have you offended anyone?" Qiao Zhen asked tentatively, poking Chu Zhao's forehead with her fingertip.

Chu Zhao closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, as if he was extremely unwilling to recall those things.

Qiao Zhen interrupted his thoughts, "It's okay, you can say it when you want to. There's no rush. But don't forget, you have your sisters behind you."
