Chapter 71: No Way to Defend Yourself



However, all of this was planned by someone, so how could they escape?

Before Su Huaiyue took a step, the curtain of the tent was suddenly pulled open, and Wei Ersao rushed in with the Wei family and a group of officials with unfriendly faces.

"Well, Su Huaiyue, you are really so dissolute that you actually cheated on me here."

Su Huaiyue was instantly exposed to everyone's gaze, and the situation between her and Xiao Li was self-evident.

The tent suddenly became dead silent. Everyone was talking and looking at Su Huaiyue with eyes full of contempt and disgust.

Only Wei Ersao had a triumphant smile on her face, as if she had anticipated all this.

"What's going on? Second sister-in-law, you can't slander people casually."

Wei Yunrou followed and looked at Su Huaiyue with a stern look. The tension and concern in her eyes made Su Huaiyue feel warm in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Che also walked over quickly, and his face darkened when he saw the scene in front of him.

He quickly covered the eyes of Wei Zhi and Wei Li who were following behind him, fearing that the two young children would see something they shouldn't see.

"Mother~"

Li'er's eyes were covered and she couldn't see the situation in front of her. She could only instinctively call out Su Huaiyue.

Su Huaiyue's heart trembled. Looking into Wei Che's fiery eyes, she could feel the anger and disappointment in his heart.

The oppressive feeling emanating from him almost made her unable to stand, but she still tried to straighten her back and said nothing.

The people at the scene had different expressions, but Su Huaiyue still stood there watching everything calmly, without saying a word.

"What a disgrace!"

Madam Wei also arrived, her majestic face full of anger.

She stared at Su Huaiyue, as if she wanted to see through her.

The disappointment in her heart was indescribable. She originally thought that Su Huaiyue had become a better child, but she didn't expect that he was still so dissolute at heart.

Su Huaiyue knew that Madam Wei had always attached great importance to her reputation, and now seeing such a scene, she must feel ashamed.

"Madam, I can explain..."

Just as Su Huaiyue was about to speak, Wei's second wife spoke first, her voice filled with sarcasm and ridicule: "What explanation do you want? Explain why you shared a room with this official last night, or explain why you are so dissolute and have tarnished the reputation of the Wei family!"

"No, I was knocked unconscious and sent here..."

Xiao Li tried to explain himself but was stopped by a look from Madam Wei.

The atmosphere in the entire tent was solemn, and the oppressive feeling made it hard to breathe.

At the same time, Su Huaiyue miraculously calmed down. She knew clearly that the only thing she had to do now was to prove her innocence.

"This was all deliberately framed by someone. I have no idea how I got in last night."

Su Huaiyue's voice was as thin as a thread, but it was firm.

"Who framed you? What evidence do you have?"

Wei Ersao sneered, looking as if the evidence was irrefutable.

Su Huaiyue was silent for a moment, his mind racing.

After a moment, she suddenly looked at the complacent Wei Ersao. The moment their eyes met, Wei Ersao obviously retreated for a moment. It was at this second that Su Huaiyue caught a hint of guilt in her.

But soon, Wei Ersao looked directly at Su Huaiyue again. What was she afraid of? Now that so many people had seen it with their own eyes, even if Su Huaiyue had a hundred mouths, she would not be able to explain it.

Su Huaiyue looked up at Wei Che, but still only saw his stern face and furrowed brows.

Her heart sank slightly.

"Yes! I believe my sister-in-law is not that kind of person. Someone must have framed her."

Wei Yunrou spoke, her voice was like the warm sun in winter, relaxing Su Huaiyue's tense nerves a little.

Wei Yunrou stood beside Su Huaiyue and expressed her position with a firm attitude.

The quarrel attracted the officers and soldiers outside. Lord Li walked in with the officers and was also stunned when he saw this situation.

"Xiao Li, what are you doing..."

When Little Li met Master Li's gaze, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees: "Master...Master, I didn't..."

Seeing this, Old Man Wei hurriedly said, "Master Li, this is a family affair of the Wei family. I hope Master Li will not interfere."

The air in the tent seemed to be frozen, and the atmosphere was still oppressive.

Lord Li smiled awkwardly and said, "Since this is the Wei family's affair, I will not interfere."

He gave a look to the officers beside him and quickly led them out of the tent.

Just as everyone was looking at the scene with anger on their faces, Wang Laosan suddenly emerged from the crowd.

With a smug smile on his face, he shrieked, "No wonder I didn't see Xiao Li yesterday. Turns out he was out enjoying the sight of beautiful women!"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Ersao immediately took over and mocked: "It seems that our Wei Dasao is really quite charming. Even the officials came to support her."

After hearing these words, Su Huaiyue said nothing and looked at Wei Ersao and Wang Laosan as if he were looking at dead people.

But the grievance and anger in my heart are beyond words.

She knew the situation was not favorable for her, so she needed to calm down and look for a way out.

Wei Che felt a headache listening to the noisy discussions.

He looked at Su Huaiyue deeply, and the disappointment between his brows made her heart tighten.

"I believe my sister-in-law! Wang Laosan, please don't slander me."

Wei Yunrou looked at Wang Laosan with anger. She once again stood firmly beside Su Huaiyue, her clear eyes seeming to pierce through all lies.

Not far away, the third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law looked at each other. The third sister-in-law hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing and lowered her head.

The fourth sister-in-law huddled aside, obviously frightened by the situation.

Seeing the chatter growing louder and louder, Madam Wei frowned slightly. Although she didn't like the situation, she remained dignified. "That's enough. As the head of the family, I will handle the family affairs. Please keep your words to yourself."

This loud shout made the noisy tent quiet down instantly.

Everyone shut up, but the doubts in their hearts were still unresolved, and they were still full of suspicion and dissatisfaction towards Su Huaiyue's accusations.

Su Huaiyue took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Wang Laosan with a firm gaze, "Wang Laosan, stop talking nonsense here. Xiao Li and I are innocent. There is nothing dirty going on at all like you imagine."

Xiao Li stood aside. Although he had a splitting headache, he still straightened his back and said forcefully, "There is nothing wrong between Madam Wei and me. It was Wang Laosan who deliberately did something bad. Don't let him deceive you!"

At this moment, Wang Laosan raised the corner of his mouth insidiously and shouted even louder: "Ah, ah, hurry up, Xiao Li, I'm afraid you are not here to repay your life-saving grace."

Hearing this, Lord Xiao Li looked embarrassed and was unable to speak in defense for a moment.

Meanwhile, Wei Ersao, who was standing nearby, interrupted without missing a beat: "Oh, speaking of life-saving grace, it suddenly occurred to me that Su Huaiyue and Adjutant Cheng were also very close a few days ago. Is sister-in-law really that short of men?"

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the tent again.

Madam Wei glanced at everyone present. Although she did not stop the dispute immediately, the displeasure on her face was obvious.

Su Huaiyue frowned, trying hard to suppress the anger in her heart. Her voice seemed particularly calm at the moment, "Second Sister Wei, it's better to keep those groundless rumors in your heart. Adjutant Cheng is an upright gentleman, and we are clear between us."
