Granny Yu frowned, glancing at Ye Caiping with guilt and worry.
She felt that Ye Caiping was innocent; on the contrary, the third young lady was the one with malicious intentions.
But the lady, perhaps bewitched by the third young lady, protected her without distinguishing right from wrong.
She was just a servant...
Granny Yu sighed softly, and was about to turn and leave when a cold voice came:
"What happened?"
The newcomer wore a light blue brocade robe, his hair tied up with a silver crown, and was handsome and relaxed yet extremely noble. It was none other than Shen Zhiyan.
Upon seeing him, the surrounding guests were startled, and then spontaneously made way for him.
Shen Zhiyan walked over to Ye Caiping's side: "What's wrong?"
The Duchess was initially pleased to see Shen Zhiyan and was about to tell him about Ye Caiping's theft.

She recognized the man! He looked like Ye Xuan's husband.
He was present at Ye Xuan's last scholar's banquet.
She was immediately struck by how handsome this man was on Ye Caiping's side.
Li Jiaojiao's face darkened, and she coldly shouted, "How dare you! This is clearly my hairpin! How could I, the third young lady of the Duke's mansion, falsely accuse her?"
"Hmph, Madam Ye, you even brought your whole family to the Marquis's birthday banquet! Your daughter and niece are all here! You've gone mad with poverty! That's one thing, but you even brought your lover in! How shameless!"
