The guests, feeling they had been used by Yu Ziling, were not listening to any of her explanations and instead pressed her for an apology, filled with righteous indignation.

Yu Guanguan stood leisurely outside the circle, watching Yu Ziling's anxious face turn red and her neck thick with worry.

The calls for Yu Ziling to apologize grew louder and louder.

Several women even couldn't help but stand up and grab Yu Ziling's arm, trying to pull her over.

"Let me go."

Seeing her initial confidence turn into a farce, Yu Ziling couldn't help but panic. She looked urgently at Ji Mingxuan beside her, "Mingxuan, save me... please save me..."

“Ziling…”

Ji Mingxuan now understood what had happened. He calmly chose to distance himself from Yu Ziling, saying, "Today is our engagement day. How could you do something so foolish?"

"Mingxuan, what... what do you mean by this..."

Yu Ziling looked at him in disbelief, unable to believe that Ji Mingxuan wouldn't help her at this point.

“Ziling…”

Ji Mingxuan looked at her, a flash of disgust and impatience crossing his eyes. He pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Now that things have come to this, apologize to Guan Guan. I think Guan Guan will definitely not hold it against you."

"Why should I apologize?!"

Yu Ziling refused to admit defeat no matter what. She clenched her fists and roared wildly, "Although there is no evidence to prove that Yu Guanguan stole the earrings, Xiao Liu did not say that it was not her. Maybe she instructed Xiao Liu to steal the necklace and then directed and acted out this whole drama."

She pushed through the crowd, lifted the hem of her dress, and rushed to Yu Guanguan, shouting, "Yu Guanguan, you put on this show? Are you feeling smug? No matter if there's evidence or not, in my heart you'll always be a thief."

"It was clearly you and this woman who directed and acted this whole thing."

Just then, a lazy but slow voice came, and a slender figure pushed through the crowd and slowly walked out.

"A full moon?"

Yu Guanguan looked at the woman walking gracefully towards her with some surprise.

The silver evening gown flowed like water, hugging her slender waist, and her cool makeup gave her a cold and aloof air that seemed untouchable.

"Sorry, Guan Guan, I went to check some things, so I'm late." Lou Manyue nodded to Yu Guan Guan.

"Are you... sure?"

Yu Guanguan was taken aback. "What do you mean by calling?"

"Confirm who took the earring," Lou Manyue replied calmly.

"Huh? Isn't it the maid, Xiao Liu?"

“That’s not wrong.” Lou Manyue smiled knowingly. “It’s just that she’s too stupid and too timid, so she messed things up. But stealing the earrings wasn’t her intention.”

“Full Moon, you mean…” Yu Guanguan paused, then an idea suddenly came to her mind.

It seems that some of my guesses were correct.

The guests, hearing the conversation between the two, looked in their direction and whispered among themselves.

"Could there be more to the story about the diamond earrings?"

"The maid wasn't really a thief?"

"Damn, attending this engagement ceremony was absolutely worth it. It's like a blockbuster movie, one thing after another."

"Exactly, thank you Mom for giving birth to me so I can watch."

The Yu family's antics have been so outrageous that the guests have begun to forget their original purpose and are now gossiping with great interest.

“That servant was indeed acting under orders,” Lou Manyue said. “However, it wasn’t just one person, but two.”
