"Yes, Mu Yao fell for me at first sight and even wanted to have dinner with me. But this Shen Yu got lustful and interfered, beating me up." The more Xue Zixuan spoke, the more convinced he became that what he was saying was true.
Madam Xue was furious. "This Young Master Shen is truly lawless! Don't worry, Xuan'er, I'll have your father go to the Marquis of Anguo's residence tomorrow to demand an explanation."
Xue Zixuan dared not let his father go to Marquis Anguo for an explanation, as he was not sure whether Shen Yu had done it or not.
"Mother, let it go. Shen Yu is a favorite of the Regent. I don't want to put you in a difficult position."
Upon hearing Xue Zixuan's words, Madam Xue felt even more heartache, but also a sense of relief, saying, "Our son has grown up and knows how to care for his parents."
Madam Xue knew her son's character well. Even if it was Shen Shizi who did it, it was still unknown whether he was responsible. Even if he was, the other party would not have hit someone for no reason.
If things come to a head later, it might still be Xue Zixuan's fault, which would be troublesome.
"Mother, I must marry Su Muyao. That way, I can become brothers-in-law with the Regent, and then let's see who dares to bully me," Xue Zixuan said.
When he saw Su Muyao today, he thought she was very beautiful and had a gentle and delicate personality, much better than all the girls he had met before.
"Alright, alright, Mother will definitely find a way to help you marry Su Muyao."
What's so difficult about having an adopted daughter?

The martial arts competition in the capital is becoming increasingly popular, attracting more and more spectators.
Zhao Jiao went out to buy groceries that day and couldn't help but walk over to the arena to take a look.
After watching for a while, Zhao Jiao prepared to return to Fengyue Lane, but did not notice that someone was quietly following behind her.
Yesterday, that man came again, bringing Qing'er's handwritten letter. In the letter, Qing'er urged them to infiltrate the General's Mansion and repeatedly assured them that as long as they could infiltrate the mansion and obediently listen to her, she would guarantee them a life of wealth and honor for the rest of their lives.
But Qing'er didn't mention a word about how to guarantee it or what they needed to do, not even where she was now.
Zhao Jiao and Lin Zhengshan naturally wanted to believe their own daughter, but after discussing it all night, they still couldn't come up with a good way to sneak into the general's mansion, and they were very troubled.
They couldn't possibly tell Su Ruojin directly that they wanted to stay at the General's Mansion; Su Ruojin would definitely kick them out.
Knock knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
Zhao Jiao thought it was that man again, and frowned. He comes to urge her every day, isn't that annoying?
Zhao Jiao wasn't stupid. After observing him for a while, she felt that this man was obeying Qing'er, and gradually she stopped being afraid of him.
When Zhao Jiao opened the door, she saw a disheveled beggar standing there.
Zhao Jiao turned to close the door with a look of disgust, "Go away, go away, I have nothing here."
Unexpectedly, the beggar pushed Zhao Jiao aside and walked straight into the courtyard, looking around.
Zhao Jiao was furious. How dare a beggar be so arrogant? She immediately cursed, "You stinking beggar, get out of here or I'll hit you!"
The beggar turned to look at Zhao Jiao, and instead of being angry, he laughed, "Zhao Jiao, I've been looking for you for ages! So you have such a good place in the capital. From now on, we'll be living the high life with you."
Upon hearing the familiar voice and looking more closely, Zhao Jiao's eyes widened in disbelief. "You are... my cousin-in-law?!"
The beggar in front of them was none other than Yao Zhangshi, who had come to the capital with Zhao Jiao!
Zhao Jiao thought she had already returned to Yuzhou, but she didn't expect her to still be in the capital. How did she end up like this?
Originally, Yao Zhangshi planned to return to Yuzhou, but Yao Huihui and Yao Qingfeng resolutely refused to go back.
