"Xu Jinyi!!"
"What on earth did our Xu family owe you that you would come back and harm us like this? Although our Xu family never raised you for a single day, I did give you life!"
"Why do you want to do this? What good will it do you to ruin Wanwan?!" Xu's mother roared loudly. When she thought that after today, their Xu family would become the topic of conversation after dinner, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
Xu Jinyi looked at them coldly, without a trace of fear on his face. "I wonder what I did to make Madam Xu so angry?"
"Xu Jingwan made a fool of herself at the banquet and ruined herself. What does it have to do with me? Why is she blaming me?"
"Isn't what you're doing too funny? Xu Jingwan did something wrong, and the first thing she did was blame me. Is there a saying written on my head that says I'm easy to bully?"
The unbearable feelings that Xu Jingwan had accumulated since the incident finally burst out at this moment. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she screamed at Xu Jinyi with all her might, "Who else could it be if not you?!"
"Xu Jinyi, you did this, didn't you? You know medical skills, so you must have done something to me to make me do this at the banquet, right?"
Xu Jinyi's eyes grew colder. "So, just because I know medicine, I did it? What kind of perverse logic is that? If that's the case, why not ask the imperial physician to check you out and see if there's anything wrong with you?"
"You say I did it, do you have any evidence? I could predict that you would go up and dance, and when you would take off your clothes? Do you think I'm a miracle doctor?"
Xu Jingwan cried, "Who else could it be if not you! You must be jealous of me becoming the Crown Prince's Consort, so you want to destroy me, right?"
Xu Jinyi suddenly sneered, "Xu Jingwan, you're not directing and acting in this drama yourself, just to pin the blame on me and get me kicked out of the Xu family, right?"
Xu Jingwan glared at her with eyes full of anger: "Am I crazy? Why would I frame you and ruin myself? Am I crazy?!"
"Who knows?"
Xu Jingwan cried so hard that she was out of breath, which made her mother and her three brothers very distressed.
"Xu Jinyi, who else would be so vicious as you to harm Wanwan? You must be jealous that the prince wants to marry Wanwan, so you deliberately framed Wanwan to make the prince cancel the engagement, right?" Third Brother Xu stood up.
Xu Jinyi paused, and instead of defending himself, he seemed to be thinking.
Just when Xu's mother was about to condemn her with a cold face, Xu Jinyi's attitude suddenly changed.
"You're wrong. The reason the prince wants to cancel the engagement isn't because Xu Jingwan took off her clothes in public, but because she lost her virginity before marriage and cheated on other men."
"Instead of accusing me of doing this, why don't you ask your good daughter who she was having an affair with?"
"Perhaps the adulterer is the real culprit. He wants to ruin the marriage between Xu Jingwan and Prince Zhao so that he can take the throne."
Xu Jinyi's words made Xu's mother and Xu Jingwan look at Xu Qingyan at the same time.
Xu Qingyan retorted loudly upon hearing this: "Nonsense!"
Xu Jinyi looked at Xu Qingyan suspiciously: "I'm not talking about you, why are you reacting so strongly?"
“Could it be…?”
Xu Jingwan's heart was in her throat, afraid that Xu Jinyi would say something she shouldn't, so she interrupted him: "Xu Jinyi, don't think you can get away with it by throwing dirty water on others, you..."
"Are you defending the adulterer? Otherwise, why don't you tell me who that man is?"
Third Brother Xu frowned: "Wanwan, were you forced by a man? Tell us and we will take care of it for you!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xu's mother frowned and said, "Alright, now is not the time to pursue this. Let's deal with the problem with Prince Zhao first."
"Although the imperial decree has been issued and has not been withdrawn, Prince Zhao has already announced in the palace that he will not marry Wanwan."
"It's not important whether we get married or not. The most important thing is not to make enemies. What do you think we should do about this?"
The three brothers fell silent at the same time, and Xu Qingyan looked at Xu Jingwan with a guilty look on his face.
But Xu Jingwan didn't want to lose this good marriage, and she didn't want Xu Jinyi to take advantage of it.
"Mother, the prince and I have a deep bond. He wouldn't be so heartless to me. He must be angry. Once I explain everything to him, everything will be fine."
Xu Jinyi sneered, "Who would marry a woman who lost her virginity before marriage and has lost her morals?"
Xu Jingwan looked like she was about to cry again, and Xu's mother looked at Xu Jinyi directly and sternly.
"She's your sister. You're still taking advantage of her misfortune and making sarcastic remarks about her. Is that what you should do?!"
Xu Jinyi spoke calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, "What else? When she was flirting with me just now, did she still not want to think about me being her sister?"
"She did something so shameless that it might even bring disaster to my reputation, and I can't even say a few words?"
"I know you're partial, Madam Xu, but I didn't expect you to be so unprincipled."
"To treasure a broken-down girl is truly blind and heartless."
Xu's mother was already angry, and when she was mocked by a junior like Xu Jinyi, she lost all her rationality and immediately raised her hand to hit him.
"Madam, Madam—"
The doorman ran in with a look of horror on his face, as if he had seen something horrible.
The slap didn't land. After taking a deep breath, Madam Xu almost yelled, "What's going on?! Is Princess Xinyue here again?!"
The doorman knelt on the ground with weak legs, trembling all over, his expression even more frightened than the last time he saw Xinyue come to his door.
"Useless thing, who on earth came to scare you like this?"
"Madam, it's the Regent. His carriage has arrived and he said he's here to pick up the young lady."
"What?!" Xu Jingwan exclaimed, her eyes wide as copper bells.
The three brothers of the Xu family also gasped in shock.
Madam Xu didn't even react: "Who are you talking about? Are you sure it's the Regent's carriage?"
"It's definitely the Regent's private carriage, a reddish-brown Ferghana horse, and his personal bodyguard, Zhuifeng."
Xu Jingwan was horrified and almost lost her composure as she cried out, "How is this possible! Why would the Regent send someone to pick her up?"
"How does she know the Regent?!"
How could Xu Jingwan accept this? He was the Regent.
A man who is like a god, a man admired by all the women in the capital.
How could he fall for Xu Jinyi and treat her differently?
Xu Jingwan's eyes turned red with anger. On the most humiliating day of her life, Xu Jinyi actually won the favor of the Regent.
If...if the Regent really had something to do with her, she...
Xu Jinyi raised the corner of her mouth, understanding that the man just wanted to support her.
If you don’t hug someone who has a big leg, you’re a fool.
"Why? If you don't know the Regent, why can't I?"
Mother Xu was also a little confused as she looked at her own beautiful biological daughter. For the first time, she truly felt that her daughter was a beauty of heaven.
Could it be that the Regent has taken a fancy to her daughter?
