What if Madam Zhang used the same method to insult their daughter’s reputation?

No one thought that there was anything between Yan Wu and Su Xiaoling anymore.

As for the silk handkerchief in Madam Zhang’s hand that belonged to Su Xiaoling, needless to say, Yan Wu must have stolen it.

A person who knew how to steal a woman’s personal belongings was despised.

When people looked at Yan Wu and Madam Zhang again, they no longer had the attitude of watching a show.

Some of the people who came to help Madam Zhang carry the gifts could not help but beg for mercy.

“High Scholar Su, this has nothing to do with us. We’re not in cahoots with this family. We were also deceived by her and took her money to come here. If we knew that this was the case, we definitely wouldn’t have helped them.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We were also deceived…”

They spoke one after another. They only wanted to cut ties with Madam Zhang so that they would not be implicated by her.

Zhou Heng cupped his hands and said calmly, “Everyone, our Su family is not an unreasonable family. We’re just waiting for the officials to come and take their testimony. Since you’re innocent, we naturally won’t implicate you.”

Zhou Heng made sense. He was very humble, but he did not retreat.

Moreover, he was Su Xiaoling’s fiancé. No one dared to question him for standing up for his fiancée.

Those who came with heavy gifts did not dare to complain and only said that they would cooperate.

Yan Wu looked indignant, but his entire body was in pain. Even breathing was painful.

Madam Zhang wanted to say something, but her chin was dislocated, so she could only make whimpering sounds.

It was impossible to speak or leave.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao looked at Zhou Heng worriedly. Zhou Heng nodded at them. This was the best way. Not only could he protect Su Xiaoling’s reputation, but he could also punish the Yan family.

When Su Chong arrived with the officials, before the officials could ask, those who were in a hurry to cut ties with the Yan family spoke first.

They were only hired by Madam Zhang with money. It was impossible to say that they had a good relationship with Madam Zhang. Even if they did, they didn’t now. Anyway, everything was Madam Zhang’s fault and had nothing to do with them.

They took out all the money they had received to show that they were deceived.

Su Xiaolu raised Madam Zhang’s chin and closed it for her. When Madam Zhang could speak, she immediately cried out, “Lord Qingtian, I’m innocent…”

Madam Zhang still wanted to plead guilty, but she could not confess. However, she had just shouted her wish when she was interrupted by Zhou Heng.

“How are you wronged? Tell me, if your son didn’t steal it, how did he get my fiancée’s personal belongings?”

Zhou Heng questioned sternly.

The officials already knew the whole story and it was useless for Madam Zhang to cry injustice now. All she had to face was Zhou Heng’s questioning.

“Tell me, where did you get it from?”

The bailiff asked Madam Zhang. They had already understood the source of the matter. Everyone knew that Yan Wu and Zhou Heng could not be compared.

Madam Zhang was speechless. Things had completely spiraled out of control. She wanted to bite Su Xiaoling to death, but she was afraid. For a moment, she did not know how to answer.

“Mother…”

Yan Wu called out to Madam Zhang timidly. He was terrified. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say. He only hoped that Madam Zhang could resolve all of this perfectly.

Madam Zhang was burning with anxiety. She turned her head and stared at Madam Zhao. She took two steps forward and knelt in front of Madam Zhao. She hugged her leg and cried bitterly. As she cried, she said, “My good sister, you’re a magnanimous person. Let us go. I was blinded by greed and made such a mistake.”

Madam Zhang thought about it in her heart. She knew very well that she could not handle everyone in the Su family, but Madam Zhao had a weak personality. As long as Madam Zhao relented, this matter would not be so complicated.

She did not dare to target Su Xiaoling anymore. With Zhou Heng around, the more she did, the heavier the punishment she would suffer. It was better to find a way out from Madam Zhao.

Madam Zhao wanted to push Madam Zhang away, but Madam Zhang hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

Madam Zhang cried and begged for mercy. “Good sister, we made an appointment to offer incense that day. You also took a liking to my Xiaowu. I know you blame me for being late and feeling resentful, but there’s a reason. I really wanted to become in-laws with you. It was only when I sent you letters a few times that you ignored me that I did such a despicable thing.”

“My good sister, I really didn’t know that you had the heart to ignore my family. I thought you were angry because I was late that day. If you had cared about me, I wouldn’t have been like this. If you had replied to me that Xiaoling had chosen a good husband, I wouldn’t have dared to ruin it.”

Madam Zhang cried sadly and begged for mercy.

And her words made it clear that there was a reason she was doing this.

That was because they did not know that Su Xiaoling and Zhou Heng were set.

Moreover, Madam Zhao had really interacted with her family. She did this because there was a misunderstanding behind her back.

Madam Zhao clenched her fists. She gritted her teeth and pushed Madam Zhang away.

Under Madam Zhang’s stunned gaze, Madam Zhao said in a low voice, “If you have any grievances, you don’t have to specially tell me to pester me. If you have any grievances, tell the officials. The officials will definitely investigate what happened.”

Madam Zhao was so angry that her body trembled slightly. She knew that she was weak, but if Madam Zhang wanted to use her weakness to shirk responsibility, she would not agree even if she risked her life.

How could she let Madam Zhang ruin her daughter’s reputation so easily?

Madam Zhang had bullied her and wanted to blame her for everything. If it was only about her, perhaps she would not have argued, but this matter concerned Su Xiaoling, so she could not tolerate it.

“That’s right. The authorities will definitely investigate.”

Su Xiaoling’s voice sounded. She couldn’t help but walk out of the house.

She walked to Zhou Heng’s side, took a deep breath, and said to everyone, “This matter concerns my reputation. I can’t stay out of it. I believe the authorities will find out and give me justice, so I’m not afraid.”

“Of course. The government office will definitely investigate impartially. The perpetrators must be punished. Those who are innocent will definitely not be wronged.”

The bailiff said seriously.

Everyone clapped and cheered.

Madam Zhang still wanted to refute, but looking at Madam Zhao’s cold and heartless expression, she finally swallowed her words.

The people hired by Madam Zhang all proved their innocence.

The money they had collected was also returned. This matter had nothing to do with them, so they let them go after a round of questioning. Madam Zhang and Yan Wu were arrested and brought to the government office.

Su Sanlang’s family went over too.

Chen Hu turned around and instructed Madam Qian to take good care of the house before following her.

Madam Zhao held Su Xiaoling’s hand tightly as tears fell. She said guiltily, “Third Sister, I’ve let you down. I provoked a jackal.”

Su Xiaoling smiled at Madam Zhao and shook her head. Her tone was gentle and comforting. “Mother, it’s not your fault. You’re not a god. How can you see through the evil in people’s hearts? Mother dotes on me so much. If you knew this, you wouldn’t have provoked them.”

She would avoid them at all costs, let alone provoke them?
