Chapter 40 Clearly a cunning excuse

Holding the heavy silver in her hand tightly, Qiufen was very happy:

"Don't worry, Miss, it's just a small matter, my brother will definitely handle it properly and will never let you down." "

Go." She couldn't wait to hear the good news.

Xiao Jingzhan and Zhu Xuntao had already completed the six rituals of paying the betrothal gifts and asking for the date. The wedding day was set on August 15, an auspicious day for the reunion of the couple.

Seeing that there was still more than a month left, Xiao Jingzhan was going to marry Zhu Xuntao, and Zhu Yingyan's anxiety could be imagined.

Even though Zhu Yingyan had heard from Madam Sun several times that Zhu Xuntao was willing to cooperate with their plan, as long as they could guarantee that she could marry Prince Yu afterwards.

In the past, Zhu Yingyan could cooperate with Zhu Xuntao with confidence.

But recently, Zhu Yingyan has been in trouble. She can't promise Zhu Xuntao, nor is she willing to promise Zhu Xuntao.

Between her and Zhu Xuntao, there has always been nothing that Zhu Xuntao is unwilling to give her, except what she wants.

Zhu Xuntao's words are equivalent to reversing the priorities between her and Zhu Yingyan, and how can Zhu Yingyan be happy.

The selfish Zhu Yingyan even decided in remorse that she would marry Xiao Jingzhan, but if she is not in a good mood, Zhu Xuntao will never be the Princess of Yu!

Since Zhu Xuntao didn't know how much he weighed, Zhu Yingyan simply taught Zhu Xuntao a lesson so that Zhu Xuntao would be alert and know who should listen to whom.

In just one night, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the capital.

As if they had made an appointment, all the mouths were discussing the same thing:

the second young lady of the Zhu family, who was to marry Master Xiao in a month, was not a faithful wife and was rebellious in keeping a stranger in the small farm.

This man had a close relationship with the second young lady of the Zhu family and they had a deep private relationship.

Who knows, the second young lady of the Zhu family is no longer innocent, and the dignified Master Xiao is going to marry her.

This evil wind blew to every corner of the capital at the fastest speed, and those who should or should not hear the news did not miss a word.

After the court session that day, Zhu Lord returned to the mansion with a dark face under the questioning and warning gazes of the other adults. He immediately called Zhu Xuntao to his side and smashed his favorite inkstone at Zhu Xuntao's feet:

"Rebellious daughter, if you don't give your father an explanation today, you will be killed on the bluestone steps at the door. My Zhu Mansion will never allow a daughter as lewd as you!" Zhu Xuntao

knew the scumbag nature of her scumbag father.

Now, the scumbag father didn't even ask questions, but put the shit on his head first. Zhu Xuntao didn't even bother to get angry:

"What kind of explanation does my father want from me for making up something out of nothing?"

As soon as the news came out, Uncle Qian came to the back door of the Zhu Mansion early in the morning, wanting to ask Zhu Xuntao what to do.

Zhu Xuntao asked Qiuyue to tell Uncle Qian: Do not move.

No matter what happens, it will be the same.

"How shameless!"

Madam Sun, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, happened to hear Zhu Xuntao's explanation, and her face turned very ugly:

"The ugly things you did are known to everyone in the capital. You have really brought shame to our Zhu family."

"Our Zhu family has a daughter like you, how can other people discuss marriage? Who dares to marry a girl from our Zhu family? Do you want to ruin all the women in our Zhu family?"

Zhu Xuntao understood:

"So mother also thinks that I should die?"

Madam Sun snorted coldly: "It's not that I think you should die, but you insist on dying."

"For the sake of your reputation and for the other girls in our Zhu family, even if you die, it's a worthy death. Anyway, this disaster was caused by you."

Zhu Xuntao chuckled.

Because her cooperation with them was stuck at the step of Prince Yu's marriage, the biological mother and the heroine simply wanted to kill her and put an end to it?

Du Cheng suddenly said that she had a stranger in the manor. Zhu Xuntao could guess who had leaked this news.

Except for the people of the Zhu family, it was impossible for anyone else to know that she had a small manor.

This small manor was left to her by her grandfather.

"Laugh, how can you still have the nerve to laugh?"

As she said that, Madam Sun stretched out a finger and poked it directly into Zhu Xuntao's face.

Zhu Xuntao was not a dead person. As soon as Madam Sun's finger was stretched out, she turned sideways and hid aside.

If she let her biological mother touch a hair of hers today, she would lose.

Madam Sun didn't expect Zhu Xuntao to hide from her in front of Lord Zhu, and her face turned as red as liver.

Sure enough, this rebellious girl should die, so as not to make her angry and remind her of the suffering and humiliation she had suffered.

Zhu Xuntao didn't take Madam Sun seriously, and turned to look at Lord Zhu:

"Dad, do you really need your daughter to die to prove your innocence and preserve the reputation of the Zhu family?"

Zhu Xuntao looked calm and composed, as if she could really sacrifice herself for the Zhu family without hesitation.

Seeing Zhu Xuntao like this, the furious Master Zhu was comforted and calmed down:

"Tell me what happened first."

"Master!"

Madam Sun was dissatisfied. The reputation of the Zhu family was ruined because of Zhu Xuntao. Zhu Xuntao should be killed.

Even if Master wanted to save Zhu Xuntao's life, he should send Zhu Xuntao to a nunnery and let her become a nun.

Apart from these two results, she would not accept any other results.

She insisted so much for Yan'er, and she didn't believe that Master would not let Zhu Xuntao go easily for Zhu Songyan.

Just thinking about it, Madam Sun felt sad again.

Zhu Xuntao was her child. She let Zhu Xuntao die for her eldest daughter. Zhu Xuntao owed her that.

But what did the old man have to do?

Zhu Xuntao and Zhu Songyan were both the old man's daughters, and Zhu Xuntao was a legitimate daughter.

Why did the old man sacrifice Zhu Xuntao, a legitimate daughter, for a daughter born out of wedlock?

Thinking of Zhu Yingyan, Madam Sun suppressed all her dissatisfaction.

In short, her goal was the same as the old man's, so it was okay.

Among the three people present, Zhu Xuntao, who should have been the most nervous and afraid, was the calmest one:

"There is nothing to explain, because the news is false."

When did she have a close relationship with a man from outside the family?

She didn't even know what Feng Nantian looked like.

As for her keeping a man from outside the family in the manor... Anyway, the latter part was false, and she didn't lie.

With Zhu Xuntao's mentality, Zhu adults began to wonder:

"There is no smoke without fire..."

The main reason was that the rumor was too ugly, which was detrimental to Zhu Mansion and his own official reputation. What

also made Zhu adults concerned was that even if it was false, once this rumor came out, how would Yongjing Marquis Mansion view Zhu Xuntao?

Would Zhu Xuntao's marriage with Xiao Shizi change?

If Zhu Xuntao's marriage was really broken up by the Marquis's Mansion, in the eyes of Master Zhu, Zhu Xuntao's death would definitely be more meaningful than her life.

"Master, Zhu Xuntao is clearly making excuses."

"Such a serious matter, she just said it was fake and turned it down easily?"
