Chapter 321 Scandal (3)
What a high-sounding excuse! What a righteous face!
If she hadn't known the inside story, Shen Miao would have applauded Old Madam Shen for acting this way. Her eyes were filled with mockery, as expected of a singer and actress, her acting was truly lifelike.
Sure enough, after Mrs. Shen said this, she immediately won the favor of everyone.
"As expected of a noble family, they are truly daring and responsible."
"If that's the case, then Miss Jing will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."
"It's true that the Shen family has an upright family tradition. Madam Shen's choice is truly wise."
"I didn't expect Madam Shen to be so magnanimous."
Some people praised Mrs. Shen for admitting her mistake and making amends, while others felt sorry for Jing Chuchu who had suffered such a misfortune inexplicably. As for Chen Qiu, he was almost unanimously portrayed as a shameless pervert by everyone.
At this moment, a hurried cry was heard outside: "Chu Chu! Chu Chu!" Looking up, the person Shen Miao ordered finally called Shen Xin and his group over.
But this was not a big deal. They hadn't called their colleagues from the officialdom. Only the three Chen Xin brothers and Luo Xueyan were present. It was Jing Guansheng who walked in front. He strode forward, and the ladies made way for him. Jing Guansheng stood at the door and didn't enter, but stared blankly inside, as if struck by lightning.
"What's going on?" Luo Xueyan asked anxiously.
Chen Ruoqiu wiped her tears and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. This is not Qiu'er's fault. It was all caused by drinking."
On the way here, Shen Gui and Shen Wan had already heard about this. Shen Gui wished Shen Xin bad luck and immediately put on an ashamed gesture: "It's all my fault. I should have stopped Qiu Er when he was drinking. If he hadn't been drunk, how could this have happened?"
"Second brother, don't blame yourself." Shen Wan sighed: "No one wants this to happen, so think about the current situation."
"What else can I do?" Jing Guansheng's eyes were red. "My sister came here with no reason, but someone plotted against her and tarnished her innocence. Naturally, I have to give an explanation!"
"Watch your mouth!" Chen Xin got angry when he heard it: "I watched that brat Chen Qiu grow up, there's no way he would do such a thing!"
"That's right." Luo Xueyan sneered, "Jing Chuchu isn't some stunning beauty. When Qiu'er was at the border, so many men wanted to marry him off to women. Any of them would be prettier than Jing Chuchu. Is Qiu'er stupid to sacrifice his future for Jing Chuchu?"
Chen Xin was a ruthless character who killed enemies on the battlefield and would not be easily persuaded. Luo Xueyan was even more aggressive and would not speak tactfully. Her blunt words made Jing Guansheng's face turn pale. As for Old Madam Shen, she was so angry that she was speechless this time.
But thinking about it, they did have a point. Although Jing Chuchu's looks were not bad, they were not rare in the world. Jing Guansheng's claim of plotting against her was a bit too much.
Shen Miao wanted to laugh. In her previous life, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan had also protected Shen Qiu in this way. Unfortunately, everyone knew Jing Chuchu's innocent appearance before, and at that time, under the watchful eyes of the public, what else could she say but to admit defeat. Madam Shen had called so many noble ladies from the capital to come and "witness", simply to leave Shen Qiu with no way out.
"With all the evidence, how can you argue?" Jing Guansheng said angrily, "How could my sister, a weak woman, force herself on Shen Qiu? I thought Shen Qiu was a gentleman, but I never thought he was just a face, not a heart. I'm going to report him to the police!"
Reporting it to the police would go from being a family matter to a major event known to everyone. Old Madam Shen angrily shouted, "Enough!" She softly said to Jing Guansheng, "Guansheng, you are my nephew, and you know how I have treated you these days. I love Chuchu so much, and if others agree to let her suffer, I will not! Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
