Chapter 42 Are you really heartless?

The two most popular candidates in the capital did not win the favor of Zhu Xuntao.

So how could this "foreign man" who came out of nowhere win Zhu Xuntao's heart?

"Master Xiao, I feel relieved if you can say that. I believe that after Xuntao marries you, you will treat her well."

The more Master Xiao cares about Zhu Xuntao, the more he will value him as his father-in-law and recognize Zhu Mansion as his in-law. With

the help of the Marquis Mansion, how could he stop at the position of Shangshu in his life?

Just thinking about it, Master Zhu stroked his beard happily, and smiled with his teeth faintly visible.

Xiao Jingzhan did not respond much to the Lords. He walked up to Zhu Xuntao and asked, "Are you frightened?"

"Don't worry, I have sent people to find out who spread the rumors and hurt you so much."

Lord Zhu responded, "Yes, this matter must be investigated thoroughly to clear Xuntao and my Zhu family."

"In that case, I will trouble Prince Xiao." Zhu Xuntao bowed, and this was the most emotional way she called Prince Xiao.

Hearing the difference, Xiao Jingzhan's expression softened a little: "Does Taotao have any guesses in your heart?"

Zhu Xuntao shook her head lightly and said softly, "No."

[Oh my god, do we still need to guess about this? If there is no evidence, it must be Zhu Yingyan's work. 】

【She did this to punish me for being disobedient. Of course, she had only one purpose, to ruin my marriage with Xiao Jingzhan. 】

Except for Zhu Yingyan, Zhu Xuntao could never have imagined that another person would do such a thing.

After all, except for Zhu Yingyan, the heroine, other women, no matter how much they admired Xiao Jingzhan, gave up because Xiao Jingzhan was engaged to her.

It's not like all the men in the world are dead, and it's not like Xiao Jingzhan is the only good man left.

There are few young ladies from aristocratic families like Zhu Yingyan who refuses to give up and has the shamelessness to cling to a man who already has a boyfriend.

The demeanor of a young lady from aristocratic family is never just talk.

This time, there was no need for Zhu Xuntao's reminder, Xiao Jingzhan also suspected Zhu Yingyan.

But at this time, if he didn't ask, it would seem a bit unreasonable.

"Master Xiao, since you have already started to investigate, have you found out whether there is really such a stranger in Zhu Xuntao's small farm?"

Why only investigate the rumor spread by someone, but not check the truth of the rumor?

Madam Sun, who came out last, said bluntly that Xiao Jingzhan's investigation order was not right.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Madam Sun, Master Zhu gave her a warning look, indicating that Madam Sun should not talk nonsense in front of Master Xiao.

Mrs. Sun pinched her throat and laughed out of tune: "My daughter caused such a scandal. As a mother, can't I come and care for her?"

Seeing that Mrs. Sun was about to quarrel with Zhu Daren, Zhu Xuntao wanted to leave.

When facing her and her scumbag father, her biological mother was really irrational. She was as excited as a chicken with its feathers raised, ready to kill someone.

In order to end the quarrel that had not yet happened, Zhu Xuntao could only explain with patience:

"First, I do have a small manor, which was left to me by my grandfather. But I don't know who is in the manor, let alone recognize them all."

This is the fact.

There are so many people working in a manor, and no master can recognize all of them.

"Second, I am a girl from a noble family, and it is inconvenient for me to go out. So I have always let Uncle Qian take care of the manor."

"Even if someone comes to the manor, it should be Uncle Qian's idea, and I have no objection."

She is not someone who can go to the manor often.

Not to mention that the manor has taken in a foreign man, even if it takes in a group of foreign men, so what?

Dirty people tend to think dirty things.

When faced with such a situation, an honest person would at most give a kind reminder and would never say so many right and wrong words.

Zhu Da was angry because he was blinded by the interests. Now that he has calmed down, he naturally understands that today's rumors are not a big deal to Zhu Xuntao.

So far, it's all hearsay, without any substantial evidence.

Indeed, he didn't need to be so nervous.

"Do we still need to investigate this matter? Since it's fabricated and not true,

just ignore it. Who knows, the storm may subside in a few days." Xiao Jingzhan shook his head: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Rumors are unintentional, so don't pay attention to them. If someone does it intentionally, they won't stop until they achieve their goal." If

Zhu Yingyan really did it, then her purpose was only one, to prevent him and Zhu Xuntao from getting married.

Before that, Zhu Yingyan would never stop.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingzhan frowned.

He didn't know why Zhu Yingyan had to have him. To him, such a Zhu Yingyan was a big trouble.

Summary: It was his bad luck to meet Zhu Yingyan.

Xiao Jingzhan's people were also very efficient in investigating things.

He had just arrived at Zhu's house and hadn't said a few words when his people handed him the information they had found.

After reading the contents of the letter, Xiao Jingzhan showed an expression of "as expected" and handed the letter to Lord Zhu.

From the first glance at the letter, Mrs. Sun's expression became nervous.

When Lord Zhu raised his eyebrows and glanced at her from time to time, Mrs. Sun felt cold in her palms and hid her hands in her sleeves.

"What a lie!"

If the letter was not from Xiao Jingzhan, the Lords would have torn it to pieces: "Housekeeper Wang, bring Yan'er here to me!"

Housekeeper Wang was startled at first, then he understood: "Yes, Master."

"Wait!" Madam Sun stopped Housekeeper Wang,

"Master, what does this have to do with Yan'er? Yan'er is also a victim. What's the point of calling her here? It will only make her more sad."

The Lords threw the letter at Madam Sun's face without any hesitation. It didn't do much damage, but it was extremely insulting: "Take a look for yourself."

Mrs. Sun ignored the strange feeling on her face and picked up the letter with a slight tremor.

After reading the contents of the letter, Madam Sun closed her eyes, her eyes full of determination:

"It seems that the people under Prince Xiao are only capable of this. They have only investigated half of the matter and handed over the full picture to the master?"

Xiao Jingzhan was not annoyed: "Madam Sun, what is your opinion?"

"I don't deserve your opinion." Madam Sun took a breath secretly, "Since Prince Xiao has already found out something, then there are some things I am not afraid to say clearly. This matter has nothing to do with Yan'er, I did everything!"

Madam Sun looked at Xiao Jingzhan with a little hatred:

"In what way is my Yan'er inferior to Zhu Xuntao? She is better than Zhu Xuntao in every way, and the most important thing is that she is obsessed with you."

"Why can't Prince Xiao see the good in Yan'er and her sincerity towards you?"
