The young ladies from the General Weiwu's mansion had disheveled hair and clothes. Several obvious red scratches were visible on their fair faces, and their cheeks were swollen like pig's heads.

Her former poise was nowhere to be seen.

My gaze shifted to the other side.

Whoa, you stinky freak!

That pig's face is even more swollen than the young ladies of the General's Mansion!

More scratches!

Ouch—, several patches of my hair have been ripped off!

Wow, the battle is really fierce.

Huh? The wife of the mighty general and the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family are all wet?

The gazes of the crowd fixed on Madam Hu became intense.

It was summer, and the clothes she wore were quite light. After the summer shirt was wet from the lake water, it clung tightly to her skin, revealing her graceful curves and showcasing her natural beauty.

Feeling the intense gazes of everyone, Madam Hu's face paled even more, looking like a ghost.

What's the difference between her looking like that and being naked?

She already had a bunch of daughters, and was never well-liked by her husband and mother-in-law. Now, she doesn't know how she'll manage in the future.

Hu glanced quickly at Su Mu, and when she saw the disdain and impatience in his eyes, her already pale face turned even paler.

It's all that useless girl Jiang Wan'er's fault!

She glared weakly at the maid beside her, her anger palpable. "You blind fool, take off your outer robe right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the men snapped out of their daze and quickly looked away.

Zhang Xijun also fell into the water, but her mother had already taken off her outer garment to cover her up when she was rescued.

The dying wife and the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, the disheveled daughters, and the broken Su Wanwan!

Su Mu is about to shatter...

Su Wanwan saw Su Mu bring his men over early in the morning. She quickly wiped her eyes with her wet sleeve and sat on the ground, sobbing.

Seeing this chaotic scene, Su Mu felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Saving face is more important than anything else.

He has completely lost face!

As the wife of a general, her private moments were caught in the act by her colleagues.

And those daughters who are still unmarried, he was counting on them to consolidate his position in the court.

In their current wretched state, which noble family would want to marry them?

He's so angry! He's so angry!

When Zhang Xijun saw her father, Prime Minister Zhang, arrive, she burst into tears, weakly saying, "Father, you've finally come! If you hadn't come, Jiang Wan'er would have killed me. She pushed me into the lake, trying to kill me!"

Prime Minister Zhang flicked his wide sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and glared angrily at Su Mu. "General Su, you'd better give me an explanation!"

Su Mu clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and looked at Prime Minister Zhang with a guilty expression. He was about to speak when Prime Minister Zhang spoke first.

Prime Minister Zhang looked at his wife and said, "Madam, let's go back to the manor! Humph!"

"Yes, sir."

The people from the Prime Minister's residence left in a flurry, leaving only the people from the other residences looking at each other in bewilderment.

The remaining people were also sensible and took their leave.

Su Mu's face turned green. He had just been appointed as a valiant general by the emperor not long ago, and he was looking forward to showing off at his mother's birthday banquet and experiencing the superiority of being fawned over by other officials. However, he did not expect to lose face so badly tonight.

"Speak! Who started this?!" Su Mu glared angrily at his daughters and Madam Hu.

“It’s her!” Jiang Wan’er, her face swollen like a pig’s head and her speech slurred, pointed at the sobbing Su Wanwan and said.

"It's her!" The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth ladies pointed at Jiang Wan'er at the same time, speaking unclearly, their eyes somewhat fierce.

Fearing that Su Mu would despise her because of this, Jiang Wan'er hurriedly explained in a slurred voice, "Father, Father, Wan'er didn't, Wan'er didn't!"

She shook her head slightly, her eyes red-rimmed, biting her lower lip, tears welling up but not falling.

Even a beautiful woman would find Jiang Wan'er's appearance endearing.

But now her head is swollen like a pig's head!

It's incredibly ugly!

"What exactly happened?" Su Mu glared sternly at Jiang Wan'er.

His daughter is truly a jinx!
