"Yes...it was Miss who asked me to spread it."
Murong Rong's expression changed drastically. Her most loyal maid had so easily betrayed her!
Shen Yujiao's face was pale; it seemed she had taken the blame for Murong Rong.
Mu Wanting continued, "Where is the letter?"
"On the young lady."
Murong Rong wished she could sew Cui Liu's mouth shut; that bitch!
Mu Wanting walked towards Murong Rong, who smiled and said, "Sister, my maid is a bit silly; she doesn't keep her word."
"Is that right? Just show me the letter. Do you expect me to bear such a serious crime? Didn't you always say you were doing what was best for me, your older sister?"
Murong Rong is now in a precarious position. If she gives the letter, her entire scheme will fail. If she doesn't, she will face criticism and have to watch helplessly as her sister is framed.
"Sister, the letter is missing."
"Such an important thing, how could my sister, with her cautious nature, lose it?"
Murong Rong nodded emphatically, and then she saw Mu Wanting rapidly approaching her. Just as she was about to speak, Mu Wanting struck her pressure points, rendering her unable to move.
Mu Wanting searched Murong Rong's body and found a few letters. She opened the letters and boldly showed them to everyone.
"This letter is indeed well written, but please take a look at the date. It was written before I married Shen Xinglan. At that time, Zhao Zhiyuan and I were engaged. Although the content of the letter is intimate, it does not cross any boundaries."
"It's not as exaggerated as the rumors suggest. I wonder what my sister's intentions are in spreading these rumors?"
Murong Rong had her pressure points sealed. Upon hearing this, she blinked quickly. Shen Lijun released her pressure points in a few quick movements, his tone unusually gentle.
"Take your time and tell me, don't let someone wrong you."
Mu Wanting rolled her eyes. Helping outsiders against their own people was indeed a bit foolish.
Even Madam Shen and Shen Linong glanced at Shen Lijun.
Murong Rong said, "Sister, I really didn't spread that rumor."
Shen Yujiao tried to hold back, but she couldn't.
“Sister Rongrong, you were the one who told me that my sister-in-law wrote a letter to Prince Zhao after the marriage. But you have the letter in your hand, so it's impossible that you didn't even check the date.”
Since Shen Yujiao had come forward and spoken out, the others believed her a bit more. After all, the initial rumor was that Shen Yujiao had questioned Mu Wanting, which was overheard by everyone.
Mu Wanting's expression was indifferent.
“Sister, the one who tied the knot must untie it. Since you were the one who spread it, and now there is solid evidence, you should apologize to me and give me justice.”
Murong Rong looked away and spoke with a wronged expression.
"No matter when my sister wrote the letter, my husband traveled a long way to come here. Doesn't that have anything to do with my sister?"
Mu Wanting nodded: "Of course it's related, and you can't stay out of it either."
Murong Rong breathed a sigh of relief, while everyone else's hearts were in their throats.
At this point, Mu Wanting continued.
"I just want to ask one question: was it you who suggested the arranged marriage before?"
Murong Rong's tears fell instantly; her ability to cry on cue was unmatched.
"Sister, what you're saying makes no sense. Everyone knows I love Prince Pingxi. I'm already going to marry him, so there's no reason for me to back out before the wedding."
Mu Wanting laughed: "Who knows? Maybe you got some news and found out in advance that the Shen family was going to be exiled?"
Murong Rong was startled. She knew she absolutely couldn't let her rebirth be revealed, so she cried her heart out.
"Sister, I know you don't like me, but you can't wrong me like this, can you?"
Su Yu was somewhat worried about Mu Wanting, as only Mu Wanting and Murong Rong knew about the arranged marriage.
The two have conflicting accounts, but based on the facts, Murong Rong is clearly more credible.
Shen Xinglan took Mu Wanting's hand.
"When I discovered I had married the wrong person, I sent someone to find Murong Rong. If she really wanted to marry me, she would take the opportunity to switch back. But the servant was kicked out by her dowry maid."
"So I don't think this marriage exchange is that simple."
Murong Rong said with red eyes, "Brother-in-law, you and my sister are now husband and wife, and my husband is on my sister's side. You can't trust what your family says."
"But I don't need to exchange such a good family background for a poor and declining noble family. Anyone would know what to choose."
The members of the third branch of the family stepped forward.
"Regardless of the truth at the time, Mu Wanting is now our third wife."
Murong Rong was furious. Mu Wanting used to be disliked by the people of the third branch of the family, but now they all acknowledged her!
Mu Wanting said, "Sister, you're distorting the truth like this because you think I have no evidence?"
"Then I'll show you the evidence now."
Murong Rong was crying on the surface, but she was not flustered at all. Aren't all marriage exchanges just verbal agreements? Who has any evidence left?
Even if her parents were called in, they wouldn't side with Mu Wanting.
Then, Mu Wanting took out several pieces of paper, which were the changes to the house and land deeds. Previously, the owner was Murong Rong, but later it became Mu Wanting.
But seeing this, everyone just felt strange. Why would Murong Rong give assets to Mu Wanting when she clearly married someone better?
Until they saw the piece of paper behind it, and what was on it.
[Because Murong Rong strongly requested a marriage exchange, these properties are being transferred to Mu Wanting. The marriage exchange will be discussed by Liu Shi with the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion and the Marquis of Yongle's Mansion. Neither party may renege on the marriage agreement. Signed: Murong Rong, Mu Wanting, Liu Shi, Mu Guozhong.]
