“Master Jiang, the reason why Miss did this is precisely for the sake of the reputation of all the women in the household. If we search the courtyards of our own women just because we hear some rumors, it will not only hurt people’s feelings, but also make everyone feel insecure in the future,” Qiao Dameng said in a very disapproving tone.
Mr. Jiang felt much more at ease. Just as he was about to speak, the servant said, "As the saying goes, there's no second chance. This time, some unpleasant rumors have already spread outside. If you can prove your innocence, it won't matter if we don't investigate in the future. But you should at least produce some proof first. This is truly for the benefit of the women of the Jiang family."
This man has been serving Master Jiang for many years; he's over forty and has some seniority.
A hint of annoyance appeared on Old Master Jiang's face again.
Investigating is problematic, but not investigating is also problematic; it really puts him in a difficult position.
The servant added, "Master, the eldest young lady is about to get married. At such a crucial moment, we cannot be careless in the slightest, and we must not give anyone a handle to criticize us, otherwise the Qiao family will have a difficult time in the future."
Qiao Dameng snorted: "I think it's you who's making things difficult for Master Jiang."
He exuded the menacing aura of a soldier, his eyes icy cold, causing the servant to involuntarily shrink back.
"General Qiao really doesn't care at all?"
"What do I care about? My fiancée is innocent and blameless."
"But the young lady specifically forbids any search of matters involving men outside the family—"
“As I said before, this is for the sake of all the women in the household,” Qiao Dameng said in an unquestionable tone.
Mr. Jiang nodded slightly, thinking, "This future son-in-law is quite good."
Qiao Dameng revealed a half-smile: "I heard that when they went to investigate Madam and Madam Wei's courtyards, they just went through the motions, but when they got to the eldest young lady's courtyard, they were unusually serious. It's true that it's inconvenient for Madam and Madam Wei to go there, but is that really the only reason?"
The servant was clearly taken aback.
Judging from his words and expressions, Mr. Jiang also had a vague suspicion that something was amiss.
Jiang Shulan sighed softly: "Father, then search us. It will clear my and Shuxue's names. If it happens again, we don't need to bother with it."
Mr. Jiang sighed and considered it seriously for a moment: "Just this once."
He stood up: "I'm going too, Da Meng, you come with me."
It's clear that Da Meng has deep feelings for Shu Lan and is determined to protect her at all times.
He was very satisfied with his future son-in-law.
Seeing that Master Jiang had also come along, and even Qiao Dameng was there, Wang Shu smiled smugly.
Jiang Shulan originally intended to stop it, she must have sensed something was wrong. Now, Master Jiang is about to witness some filthy things, and Qiao Dameng will be embarrassed and might even want to call off the engagement on the spot.
This is to give Jiang Shuxue a perfect explanation; he might reward her with more gold and silver jewelry later.
"Master, we have followed your orders and searched the young lady's courtyard, but she won't allow us to search, so we've been stuck here," Wang Shu said.
"Having an affair with another man is no small matter. We wanted to clear Miss's name as soon as possible, but who knew she would be so foolish."
"If you're going to search, then search. Why all this nonsense? Do you think you can just make things up about Miss Jiang?" Qiao Dameng rebuked.
Wang Shu couldn't help but shudder and looked at Master Jiang.
"Search it," said Master Jiang.
