Chapter 41 I don't believe it
"Yan'er cried when this word came out."
"Although Zhu Xuntao made the mistake, they have to bear all the bitter fruits together."
"Master, for the sake of the unmarried daughters in the family and the married girls in the Zhu family, this matter must not be taken lightly."
Zhu Xuntao lowered his eyes and kindly reminded:
"Investigate, we must investigate. But I must not have the problem, right, Dad."
Master Zhu was stunned and reacted quickly:
"Yes, the problem must not be with Xuntao. This official must find out the person who spread rumors and make trouble, and restore Xuntao's innocence!"
Whatever Zhu Xuntao did or did not do, he must and can only not do.
The marriage with the Marquis's Mansion cannot be lost either.
When something happened, he tried to cover it up.
What he wanted to find out was not the truth of the matter, but to cover it up!
He almost got confused!
"Grandpa?!" Madam Sun screamed.
Zhu Xuntao had caused such a big disaster, and the old man wanted to let it go and still protect Zhu Xuntao?
When did the old man value Zhu Xuntao so much that he even ignored Yan'er and Zhu Songyan, that bastard?
She didn't believe it!
"Master, what would happen if Aunt He and Zhu Songyan knew about your decision?"
"It's just a woman's opinion." Lord Zhu was much calmer now, "With me here, what can they think?"
Thinking of what Madam Sun had just said, which was to actively convict Zhu Xuntao, Lord Zhu warned Madam Sun again:
"Didn't you hear what Xuntao said just now? The rumors outside are false."
"Someone can't stand the good fortune of my Zhu family and doesn't want Xuntao to marry Prince Xiao, so they come to ruin the reputation of my Zhu family."
"Okay, tell Yan'er that she doesn't need to worry about it. I will handle this matter myself, and it won't affect her."
"Also, you are the mistress of the house, remember to keep everyone's mouths to me."
"If I hear anything, I will beat and sell off any servants who dare to gossip."
"And you... I think Aunt Wang and Aunt He are willing to help you with the chores, so that you won't be too tired and can't even take care of your job."
The Lords said this without giving Madam Sun any face.
The Lords' hearts were not on Madam Sun, but they had always given Madam Sun some dignity as a wife.
Today, the Lords didn't care about that and almost tore Madam Sun's face off and stepped on the ground.
Madam Sun's face turned blue after being treated like this by the Lords, and she glared at Zhu Xuntao fiercely.
And again... Zhu Xuntao, who was being scapegoated, was indifferent and didn't want to even look at Madam Sun.
"Master, Prince Xiao wants to see you."
The butler came over in a hurry, and when he saw Zhu Xuntao was there, he showed Zhu Xuntao a flattering smile, which surprised Master Zhu.
Madam Sun frowned, and Butler Wang was the best at currying favor with the powerful.
Zhu Xuntao's reputation outside was so bad, why did Butler Wang look at Zhu Xuntao like a pug, and the only thing missing was wagging his tail at Zhu Xuntao.
Wagging the tail?
If Butler Wang had a tail, he would really want to wag it at Zhu Xuntao.
The masters stood up:
"Master Xiao is here... How does Master Xiao look?"
Butler Wang laughed happily:
"Don't worry, Master. The first thing Master Xiao said to me after he was invited into the mansion was to ask if the second young lady was frightened by the crazy words outside."
Master Xiao was so concerned about the second young lady that he didn't even have a trace of doubt when he heard such a rumor.
How could he not see that the second young lady had such ability earlier, and actually captured Master Xiao's heart firmly.
Butler Wang himself is a man, and if the same thing happened to him, he would definitely not be able to do it like Master Xiao.
Not to mention Steward Wang, even Zhu adults were a little surprised:
"Prince Xiao actually... doesn't care at all?"
Steward Wang flattered:
"Prince Xiao and the second young lady have a bond stronger than gold, so they will naturally not be fooled by rumors."
"Prince Xiao trusts and cares about the second young lady very much, and he is still waiting outside now. Is that right..."
Steward Wang turned his flattering eyes to Zhu Xuntao.
Prince Xiao came here at this time in order to see the second young lady. It
would be useless if other people went, and Prince Xiao would be happy only when he saw the second young lady.
"Good, very good, Xuntao, you are really Dad's good daughter."
After confirming it again and again, Zhu adults were overjoyed.
Zhu adults looked at Zhu Xuntao a few more times with curiosity, he really couldn't see that the second daughter had such ability.
Seeing her silent and unpleasant appearance, he thought that Prince Xiao was very reluctant to marry her.
But it turned out that Prince Xiao still liked Xuntao very much.
No matter what means and which side the second daughter used to capture Prince Xiao's heart, he was quite satisfied with the final result.
"Xuntao, don't let Prince Xiao wait, you go with your father to see Prince Xiao, so that Prince Xiao can rest assured."
Before Zhu Xuntao could be surprised by Xiao Jingzhan's performance, she was speechless by the words of her scumbag father.
Xiao Jingzhan rushed over at this time to comfort her.
Why did she want to make Xiao Jingzhan feel at ease after hearing it from her scumbag father?
Without hesitation, Lord Zhu walked in front and let Zhu Xuntao follow.
Steward Wang was very tactful and gave up the seat behind Master Zhu to Zhu Xuntao.
After Zhu Xuntao took a step and walked behind Master Zhu, Steward Wang followed Zhu Xuntao's steps and walked out slowly.
As for Madam Sun, Xiao Jingzhan was still waiting outside, so who had time to pay attention to Madam Sun?
Being ignored by everyone, Madam Sun gritted her teeth and hurriedly followed.
She really didn't believe that Zhu Xuntao had caused such an ugly incident, but Xiao Jingzhan really didn't mind at all. Is
there any man who is not afraid of being cuckolded?
"Uncle Zhu."
After seeing Lord Zhu, Xiao Jingzhan looked behind Lord Zhu and saw Zhu Xuntao.
Lord Zhu was very good at observing people's expressions. With just one glance, the smile on his face became more brilliant.
Well, Zhu Xuntao was his good daughter.
"Thank you, Prince Xiao, for coming to visit Xuntao today. Prince Xiao, you don't believe those rumors outside, right?"
Xiao Jingzhan answered with certainty: "I don't believe a word of it."
Even though he didn't know who the male protagonist in the rumor was, he knew it must be false.
At the moment, the only person that Zhu Xuntao could be interested in, besides the suspected prince, was the deceased Prince Yu.
Why did Xiao Jingzhan use the word "suspected" when mentioning the prince?
It was actually that Zhu Xuntao said "I want to get married" on the spur of the moment, and as a result, everything she thought and did afterwards was directed at Prince Yu.
Not to mention that he, the fiancé, had nothing to do with her, Zhu Xuntao had never even mentioned the prince once.
With Zhu Xuntao's attitude, Xiao Jingzhan really couldn't believe that Zhu Xuntao was really interested in the prince.
