Liu Tang suddenly heard the woman asking a question and stared at Luo Xuening blankly, but he saw that she was Su Jingyi3 in white clothes, with a charming face. Her clear eyes were filled with a bit of impatience, which she did not conceal at all, and was much brighter than that pretentious woman just now.

Liu Tang's eyes immediately lit up. It turned out that this woman was Luo Xuening. He was upset that he had walked into the wrong room and had something to do with that crying woman.

Liu Tang was a well-known lecher in the capital. There were countless women who had been harmed by him. The reason why the eldest lady chose him was because she was attracted by this trait of his.

At this moment, Liu Tang straightened his clothes and stood up straight, but the dandy look in his eyes had not faded much.

He looked at Luo Xuening with deep affection in his eyes: "Ning'er, have you forgotten me? I am your brother Liu, and you are not. Why did you ask me to come here to find you at night?"

The fake affectionate look in her eyes made Luo Xuning feel disgusted. She glanced at him impatiently and said bluntly, "I haven't seen you."

Liu Tang fixed his eyes and exchanged glances with his leader inconspicuously. Before coming, the leader had already told Liu Tang the basic information of Luo Xue Ning. Their original intention was that after destroying Luo Xue Ning's innocence, they had to prove that Luo Xue Ning and Liu Tang had feelings for each other, and that Luo Xue Ning, an unmarried woman, was not faithful to her husband.

However, because of Xia Qingchan's self-sacrifice, the plan has changed, but the point of discrediting Luo Xuening will not change.

"Ning'er, why are you so disloyal? I remember you held my hand and asked me to come to you. There is a mole on your wrist."

This is what the eldest lady told Liu Tang. With such close acquaintance, the relationship between Luo Xuening and Liu Tang is a little hard to explain.

After Liu Tang finished speaking, he looked at Luo Xuening with an ambiguous look, but in his heart he was thinking that if he could rely on the two beauties later, it would be worth his trip.

Luo Xuening pretended not to see his disgusting look, frowned and said: "Yes, there is indeed a mole on my wrist."

This is the truth. Luo Xue Ning cannot escape. When the eldest lady heard this, she curled her lips and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. She pretended to be sad and said, "Ning'er, you, what he said is true. Are you really related?"

"Mother, you think too much. It's just a small feature. Maybe you just heard it from others. Don't be surprised."

Luo Xue Ning said something lightly, blocking the eldest lady's mouth. The eldest lady did not give up, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you serious? You don't know this person?"

Luo Xuening smiled: "Really."

However, Liu Tang got anxious and shouted, "That's not the case. You even accepted the gift I gave you."

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Tang: "What did you give her?"

"It's a jewelry box, made of sandalwood, with her name engraved on it."

Luo Xue Ning immediately thought of the box that Xia Qingchan had sent her that day. It turned out that it was a chain of things. Fortunately, she had destroyed the box.

Luo Xuening turned to look at Luoxia: "Luoxia, is there such a jewelry box in my room?"

Luoxia understood what the young lady meant, and stepped forward and said, "Young lady, all the items in our yard were bought by the madam. How about I go and check them out?"

The eldest lady glanced at the master and servant, raised her chin slightly, and signaled the maid she brought with her to follow. Luoxia was not afraid either. Fortunately, the young lady had already dealt with the evidence.

Within the time it took to stick of incense, Luo Xuening's house had become a mess. The house was searched thoroughly, but they didn't find what they wanted.

Luoxia just stood with her hands folded watching the maids brought by the eldest lady, who were smashing things around. They had already put away the valuables. Since the eldest lady wanted to smash things, let her do it. After she was done, Prime Minister Luo would know about it, and then naturally someone would compensate them with new things.

After searching, there was still no result. Several maids walked out with gloomy faces. The eldest lady saw that her evidence was destroyed and glared at Luo Xuening coldly, but she did not give up their plan.

After taking a glance at Liu Tang, the eldest lady raised her chin again, signaling Liu Tang to make a last attempt. They just didn't believe that Luo Xuening could still be prepared.

"No, that's not it."

Liu Tang was also possessed by the spirit of drama at this time. He looked at Luo Xuening, and a hint of hurt appeared in his not-so-pretty eyes. He lowered his head quietly, his eyes full of disbelief, like a man who had been betrayed.

"Here, Ning'er, I have the love letter you wrote to me. How can you say that you don't know me?"

As Liu Tang spoke, he took out a "love letter" from his sleeve. The handwriting on it was beautiful and Luo Xuening's name could be clearly seen at the end.

The eldest lady snatched the "love letter" and the explicit words on it made her raise her eyebrows slightly. She began to read aloud: "Liu Lang, I haven't seen you for a few days and I miss you very much. I specially invite you to come to the backyard to confess my love for you - Luo Xue Ning."

Such remarks were considered quite open and bold in this era. The onlookers smiled awkwardly upon hearing the disgusting contents of the letter.

The eldest lady threw the letter aside, turned her head to look at Luo Xuening, and asked, "Ning'er, did you really write this?"

In order to forge this evidence, she specially found someone to imitate Luo Xuening's handwriting. Even if the real person appeared, it would be impossible to tell who wrote this handwriting.

Little did he know that the Luo Xuening in front of him had become a different person, and naturally, the handwriting was also different.

Luoxue glanced at the letter and said calmly, "It wasn't written by me."

"But this handwriting is similar to yours, and this signature is your name."

The eldest lady said firmly. A voice came from behind her: "Sister, you are really paranoid. There are so many people with the same handwriting. And this signature can be forged."

As the voice fell, a seductive figure appeared. Seeing the second concubine swaggering in front of her, the eldest lady became even more furious and said coldly.

"Second Aunt, you are illiterate, so you naturally don't know. Handwriting is formed over many years and it is impossible to change it overnight. How can you fake it?"

Although there were many illiterate women in this era, the eldest lady still wanted to find some sense of superiority in this matter. Her words made the second concubine roll her eyes, but she just smiled contemptuously.

Ever since Luocheng Township stripped the First Madam of her power and handed it over to the Second Madam, the Second Madam had a complete falling out with the First Madam. The First Madam thought that the Second Madam was an ungrateful person who could never be tamed. Of course, the Second Madam's opinion of her was not that high either.

She laughed coldly, still looking charming as ever, "Oh, so that's the case. Looks like we need to ask Miss Four to compare the handwriting."

The Second Aunt said nonchalantly, and the First Lady felt as if she had punched cotton, and glared at her fiercely.

The Second Aunt smiled at Luo Xue Ning and blinked her eyes charmingly. They had already informed each other, so the First Madam's ingenious plan was likely to fail.

"Mother, I am willing to write this on the spot to prove my innocence."

The eldest lady frowned. This handwriting was altered according to hers. Let's see how she can prove her innocence.

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows and sneered, waved her hands, glanced at her with disdain, and casually told the servants to prepare paper and pen.

Luo Xue Ning did not hesitate and copied the letter on the spot. Two letters appeared in front of people, but people were surprised to find that the handwriting of the two letters was completely different.

In other words, the person who wrote the letter was not Luo Xuening at all.

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment when she looked at the unfamiliar handwriting. She had clearly checked Luo Xuening's handwriting before, so how could it be possible that the handwriting had changed?

"Ning'er, did you deliberately blur the handwriting in order to clear yourself of suspicion?"

The eldest lady's old face was full of disbelief, but then she heard the second concubine smile coquettishly and say contemptuously.

"Didn't you just say that the handwriting couldn't be changed in a short time? How come it has now turned into the fourth young lady's fake handwriting? Isn't this just making excuses?"

Facing the second concubine's ridicule, the first lady coldly rebuked: "Shut up, you have no right to speak here."

Second Aunt was not afraid of her at all: "Sister, don't forget, the old man has handed over the power to manage the backyard to me. If such a big thing happened in the backyard, is it appropriate for me not to come and see it?"

But it is not quite appropriate for you, a lady in name only, to be the eldest here.

The eldest lady's face flushed, and she was speechless for a moment. Xia Qingchan's hands dropped weakly. If she cleared Luo Xuening of the suspicion of having an affair, it would mean falling into an abyss.

She glanced around and found a familiar figure in a corner. It was Gu Shuchang. He had not left.

He saw everything that happened just now. Is he also disappointed in himself?

Xia Qingchan felt a dull pain in her heart, and a feeling of humiliation almost overwhelmed her.

But, on second thought, this is also a good thing, Gu Shuchang is a soft-hearted man, he will definitely not bear to see me in such a miserable state.

Xia Qingchan gritted her teeth and decided to make one last attempt.

"You, you have ruined me. I don't want to live anymore. Madam, thank you for taking care of me over the years. However, Chan'er doesn't have that fate. Brother Shuchang, we'll see each other in the next life."

Looking up to the sky, Xia Qingchan screamed loudly. She knew that Gu Shuchang must have heard her. She struggled to stand up and rushed towards the pillar in front of her without hesitation. She crashed into it. Blood flowed all over the ground, staining her pretty face red.

Everyone was still immersed in the letter when they suddenly saw Xia Qingchan lying in a pool of blood. They were horrified. The frightened women screamed loudly, and the sound was terrifying.

Gu Shuchang saw the thin figure lying in a pool of blood, and a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes. He did not care what the occasion was, and ran towards the figure in the pool of blood, gently wiping the blood off her face.

"Chan'er, wake up. Just hold on a little longer. I will definitely save you."

Xia Qingchan's face turned pale. Although she had some calculations towards this man, she admitted that she was moved the moment she saw the man running towards her.

Her eyes were cloudy, but she looked at Gu Shuchang tenderly. She reached out her hand, wanting to touch his face. This man was the last bit of warmth in her helpless life, and she was reluctant to let him go.

"Brother Shuchang, I didn't keep my innocence for you. I can't marry you. I deserve to die. I'm dead. You have to take good care of yourself. Don't, don't disobey me. Remember, I, I love you."

The soft words, one by one, touched Gu Shuchang's heart. Looking at Xia Qingchan's pale face and the increasing amount of blood, Gu Shuchang screamed out of control.

"No, no, Chan'er, please don't die. You still have to lend it to me, and I still want to marry you. Please don't die."

However, no matter how heartbreakingly Gu Shuchang cried, the woman in his arms eventually dropped her arms powerlessly. Her hands ultimately did not even touch Gu Shuchang's face. She raised her lips and fainted in Gu Shuchang's arms.

"Chan'er."

Gu Shuchang yelled out of control. He was so grief-stricken that he completely ignored the triumphant smile on Xia Qingchan's face before she fainted...
