Chapter 214 A Scammer Meets a Scammer
"I don't understand what you mean, Father. Is there something wrong with this couplet?"

With a "smash," the Grand Tutor slammed the teacup in his hand directly at Chu Xiucheng's feet.

"How have I taught you in the past? It's okay to match couplets, but you should never use them to get close to a girl and ruin her reputation!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiucheng was completely stunned: "Who did I get close to? And whose innocence did I ruin?"

"Are you still pretending?" the Grand Tutor roared angrily. "Lord Liang has already come to our door, saying that you and the second young lady of the Duke's mansion have already had intimate relations and are discussing marriage!"

Chu Xiucheng was so frightened that his hand trembled and he almost dropped the invitation: "Injustice! Who is making this up out of thin air and spreading such nonsense? I have only met Princess Heya once and have never met any second young lady. Isn't this a complete fabrication?"

Upon hearing this, Master Liang became somewhat anxious: "Are you trying to deny or shirk responsibility?"

"Why should I admit to something I never did? What are your intentions in slandering my reputation like this, Miss?"

"You, you not only refuse to admit it, but you also humiliate my daughter like this, it's simply too much."

Chu Xiucheng said firmly to the Grand Tutor, "Father, you know my character best. I have always been devoted to my studies and have never been one to philander. I am not a promiscuous person. Lord Liang's words are simply inexplicable."

Upon hearing his son's words, Grand Tutor Chu was convinced: "That's right, Lord Liang, there seems to be a misunderstanding. Why don't you go back to your residence and ask your daughter properly? Could she have been deceived?"

"But Young Master Chu's seal is here. How do you explain this? It's clear that you used this invitation to invite my daughter to go boating on the lake on the night of Qixi Festival and spend a wonderful evening together."

Chu Xiucheng's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly recalled Liang Jiang's probing words that day, and doubt arose in his heart. He opened the letter and saw a line of small print at the end:
“This wasn’t written by me; it was just an imitation of my handwriting. Besides, on the night of Qixi Festival, I was dragged by a colleague to a banquet where wine cups floated on a winding stream. He can testify to that.”

Chu Xiucheng was very certain, and Liang Erye's heart skipped a beat, and he began to have doubts.

Their daughter and son had never met this Young Master Chu before; they couldn't be so easily deceived by his charms.

He questioned him urgently, "You say it wasn't you, but the seal is yours, it can't be faked, and you also provided the matching couplet. No matter what, you can't escape responsibility."

Grand Tutor Chu observed coldly and roughly understood some of the reasons: "Lord Liang, there's no need to worry. I wonder what the villain who deceived your daughter's innocence looks like?"

Even Master Liang didn't know.

"My son and daughter have seen it with their own eyes. If they saw it again, they would recognize it at a glance."

Looking at the invitation in his hand, Chu Xiucheng had already identified someone he suspected. He whispered to the Grand Tutor:
“Father, it was Xiuwen who told me about this couplet. Only he can imitate my handwriting and get my seal.”

The Grand Tutor's expression changed drastically, but after a moment's thought, he ordered, "Summon this beast to me!"

Chu Xiucheng gave the order, and a short while later, Chu Xiuwen timidly entered the main hall. He only peeked inside and saw Master Liang. He immediately shrank back and turned to run away.

Grand Tutor Chu spotted him immediately and roared, "Where do you think you're going? Get in here right now!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chu Xiuwen could only turn back and ask, "Father, what did you call me for?"

The word "father" startled Master Liang. He had heard rumors that Grand Tutor Chu had once had a one-night stand with a maid in the mansion after getting drunk.

Grand Tutor Chu was concerned with saving face but lacked responsibility. After this incident, he told others that the maid had deliberately seduced her. Instead of giving the maid a proper title, he kicked her out of the Grand Tutor's mansion and married her off to a night watchman.

The maid died in childbirth a few months after she got married.

The night watchman, unwilling to raise someone else's son, sent the child to the Grand Tutor's mansion. The Grand Tutor, fearing that the matter would spread and damage his image, not only refused to acknowledge the child but also sent him to his estate to be raised until he was eight or nine years old before bringing him back to the mansion to serve as a study companion for his legitimate son, Chu Xiucheng.

The dragon has nine sons, each different from the last. The two brothers lived and ate together every day, studying under the same master. Chu Xiucheng devoted himself to his studies and achieved considerable success. This boy, however, had been wild and unruly in the village since childhood, and with a weak foundation, how could he possibly keep up?
Later, he simply gave up and became ignorant and incompetent, making himself disliked by everyone.

As the saying goes, secrets can't be kept forever. Later, it was the maid's brother who made a scene at the Grand Tutor's mansion, demanding that Grand Tutor Chu give his poor little nephew a proper status. This brought the matter to light.

However, the rumors only lasted a few days before being suppressed to appease the public.

It seems that the Grand Tutor has accepted this illegitimate son and allowed him to be recognized as a member of the family.

This person was similar in build and facial features to Chu Xiucheng, but he had a petty and narrow-minded air about him. Standing next to Chu Xiucheng, he was a figure that was hard to describe.

However, a scratch on the other person's neck made Liang Erye's heart skip a beat, and a surge of hot blood rushed to his head.

He remembered that his wife had told him that during her fight with that young master Chu, she had scratched his neck.

His head was buzzing, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave; he couldn't believe it.

Could it be that the person who had physical intimacy with his daughter was not Chu Xiucheng, but this illegitimate son?
Impossible, how is that possible?
Grand Tutor Chu sternly commanded, "Kneel down!"

Chu Xiuwen obediently knelt down.

"I ask you, where did you go on the night of Qixi Festival when you returned home late at night?"

Chu Xiuwen glanced at Liang Erye discreetly and whispered, "Let's go out and wander around."

Grand Tutor Chu slammed his hand on the table: "Why don't you confess honestly? Did you impersonate your brother and secretly meet with the second young lady of the Duke's mansion?"

Before Chu Xiuwen could argue, Liang Erye, who was standing nearby, reacted and suddenly stood up, walked up to Chu Xiuwen, and kicked him hard in the chest.

"So you were the one who lied to my daughter! I'll beat you to death, you beast!"

Despite being beaten, Chu Xiuwen showed no fear and instead became even more self-righteous: "Go ahead and kill me. Let's see who else is willing to marry your daughter."

Master Liang spent his life hunting geese, but he never expected that a goose would peck out his eyes.

If you try to steal a chicken, you will lose the rice; you will lose both the wife and the army.

"My daughter's life has been ruined by you, you liar. I would gladly kill you."

Chu Xiuwen grinned: "Didn't your daughter also impersonate Princess Heya to deceive people into marriage? We're just evenly matched, neither of us can say anything about the other."

Master Liang was about to step forward and make a move when Chu Xiucheng stopped him: "Lord Liang, please calm down. What exactly is going on?"

Chu Xiuwen said with annoyance, "I originally admired Princess Heya. When I saw that my elder brother had matched Princess Heya's couplet, I wanted to take the opportunity to get to know her. So I impersonated my elder brother and sent a letter to Princess Heya, asking her to meet me."

To my surprise, Princess Heya actually kept the appointment and we had a very pleasant conversation. So I didn't tell her the truth and wanted to continue our relationship under the guise of my elder brother.

Who knew that this Princess Heya was actually an imposter, just like me? To marry me, she slipped an aphrodisiac into the pastries, making me lose control and we had sex. Then she clung to me, forcing me to marry her.
