Su Luoqing looked wronged.

"It wasn't me who said it, it was my cousin Qin who told me. She said that once when you two were having too much fun at the village outside the city and couldn't separate, it was Li Shiling who went over to help."

You are grateful to him and promised to be his eternal support. Being Li Shiling's support is being Qin Xue's support. That's why Qin Xue can act with impunity in the capital, and she even told me, an orphan, to be careful.

I initially thought she was just boasting, but now it seems it's true. Otherwise, what does this have to do with you, that you need to step in and help?

Ye Zhen taught her all of these words.

She mimicked Ye Zhen's way of speaking, speaking softly and gently, but the words she uttered caused everyone's expressions to change repeatedly.

"Vulgar and uncouth. How can a woman like you use foul language and talk nonsense in public?"

The official's eyes were filled with anger, directed at both Su Luoqing and Qin Xue.

Because what Su Luoqing said was true; he did indeed have something going on with his daughter-in-law, but apart from Li Shiling, no one else really knew about it.

He had even dealt with the servants who had served him that day, but he couldn't kill Li Shiling.

He found it hard not to believe Su Luoqing's words.

Li Shiling betrayed him and even told his secret to the younger generation in the family, allowing Qin Xue to use his weakness to swagger around.

Qin Xue's eyes were red with anger. "I didn't. I didn't know anything about these things."

Su Luoqing is too wicked. She just accused her of scheming against the old eunuch, and now she's wronging her again.

"When you accompanied Li Shuhuai to the Su family to see me a few days ago, you called me aside to talk, and that's what you said. Otherwise, how would I know?"

Su Luoqing blinked and looked at Li Shuhuai with an innocent expression, "You took her to my house, right?"

Li Shuhuai did indeed take Qin Xue to the Su family, and Qin Xue did indeed speak to Su Luoqing alone. At that time, he was instructing the second branch of the Su family to keep a close eye on Su Luoqing.

Having no idea what Qin Xue and Su Luoqing had said, he couldn't help but look at Qin Xue as well.

Qin Xue felt extremely wronged. She had approached Su Luoqing to provoke her, not to say anything like that.

But he couldn't say anything provocative, so he could only say, "I didn't, you're framing me."

Su Luoqing also felt wronged, "How did I wrong you? You said that the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice looks tall and strong, but he is actually a nobody. His wife has been married for several years and is still a virgin."

Finally, pressured by her mother-in-law to have a child, she had no choice but to ask Li Shiling to help her have a son through artificial insemination.

"Oh, so it's the son of the Li family head. The child looks just like him, and the Vice Minister's wife is afraid the secret will be exposed, so she's completely subservient to the Li family."

The Vice Minister of Justice, who had just come with Xie Tingzhou, immediately turned pale.

Having heard that Li Shiling was skilled in andrology, he asked Li Shiling to examine him after being married for many years without conceiving.

Because of that doctor's visit, he knew that his size was abnormal and was afraid of being found out by others, so he never saw another doctor again.

Fortunately, his wife became pregnant soon after, and he and his mother thought it was a miracle from their ancestors.

Some people are now saying that the child wasn't his at all, that Li Shiling leaked his secret, and that he even encouraged his wife to have an affair.

He was a military man by birth, and immediately swung his fist and walked up to Qin Xue, asking, "Is what she said true?"

He cherishes his wife and children very much. If what Su Luoqing said is true, wouldn't he have been a laughing stock all these years?

How can I tolerate this?

Qin Xue was terrified by his murderous aura. "I didn't, I didn't know..."

She really didn't know anything. Pointing at Su Luoqing, she said, "She made it all up."

Su Luoqing was furious, "You dare to say it but not admit it, you still say it... you still say it..."

She seemed embarrassed to speak, "You also said that the Vice Minister's wife disliked the Vice Minister, and complained to the head of the Li family that the Vice Minister was like a rat scrubbing a water vat, always just rinsing it hastily and finishing it."

I was both shocked and embarrassed. How could a young woman like you just blurt out such things?

Now that I've found out you're pregnant, I can understand. You even had an affair before marriage, so it's probably normal for you to say these things.

What I don't understand is, why would Li Shiling, a man, tell you these things? Are you two having an affair?"

Suddenly realizing something, she covered her mouth in shock, "Could it be that the child in your belly is actually Li Shiling's?"

"You're talking nonsense. I don't know anything about those things. I didn't say anything."

Qin Xue was so anxious that she started swearing.

It was clear that everyone was looking at her with disdain and disgust. She explained to them, "Li Shiling is my uncle. How could an uncle say such things to his niece?"

These are all fabrications by Su Luoqing to slander me; I am innocent.

Compared to Qin Xue, who lost her virginity before marriage, everyone naturally believed Su Luoqing, especially since the expressions of the official and the Minister of Justice just now revealed that those secrets were true.

How could Su Luoqing, a female doctor, know these things?

The Vice Minister of Justice lowered his fist and left.

Rather than humiliating himself here, he should go back and interrogate his wife.

The official wanted to stay and try to prove that Su Luoqing was talking nonsense, while the others wished Su Luoqing would say more.

They wanted to hear the gossip and were reluctant to leave. Su Luoqing knew that going too far would be counterproductive, so she didn't reveal anything more. Instead, she said to Qin Xue, "The Li family has never had a daughter who married into the Jiangnan family. How could you possibly be Li Shiling's niece?"

If you don't want to admit it, fine. Li Shiling has learned a lot of secrets about officials through his medical practice. He has so many powerful backers. How can I, an orphan, be a match for you?

However, I witnessed you kissing Li Shuhuai just now. I, Su Luoqing, would rather remain single than marry such a heartless man.

She walked up to Xie Tingzhou and knelt down. "Your Highness, I want to break off my engagement with Li Shuhuai, but the Li family disagrees. They have even had my uncle and aunt keep me confined at home and plan to forcibly tie me to the bridal sedan chair on our wedding day."
