The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

"Oh dear, what strange noise is coming from Miss's room?"

When Grandma Min arrived at the house where Min Baozhen had lived before her death, she was overcome with emotion and stopped in front of the house.

As soon as they stopped, everyone heard rustling sounds coming from inside the house.

The ladies present exchanged glances, and saw awkwardness in each other's eyes.

Every household has its share of clandestine affairs; just by hearing that sound, one can guess which servant and maid are having a secret rendezvous.

What surprised everyone was that the maids and servants of the Su family were too bold and dared to have an affair in the late Madam's courtyard.

The homeowner can handle this privately; nobody wants to expose it to outsiders.

There's already enough gossip at the Su residence today; no one wants to hear about the behavior of the Su family's servants.

Everyone wanted to pretend they hadn't heard anything and leave as quickly as possible.

But the old woman next to Madam Min shouted.

This shout made it difficult for everyone to continue moving forward.

Grandma Min raised her chin, gesturing to the old woman beside her to push open the door.

She wanted to see who dared to do something sordid in her daughter's room.

When Madam Lu insisted on bringing everyone to Min Baozhen's former courtyard to admire the flowers, Old Madam Min guessed that Madam Lu was up to no good, but she never expected her to use such despicable means.

She didn't even consider that the Su family was rumored to have problematic servants; how could she, as the mistress of the house, escape responsibility?

Standing behind Old Madam Min, Madam Lu appeared humble and dared not utter a sound.

Old Mrs. Min narrowed her eyes slightly. No matter what schemes Lu Shi had, they were still too inexperienced in front of her.

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but look at Madam Lu. Strangely, Madam Lu didn't stop her at all, nor did she seem surprised. Instead, there was a hint of eagerness in her eyes.

If it were true that maids and servants were having an affair, it would be a disgrace to the Su family, and Madam Lu would be branded as someone who failed to manage the household properly.

Ms. Lu is not afraid of losing face or bearing a bad reputation.

It can only be said that she arranged all of this.

She must be plotting something.
The entire Su family was scheming to figure out who would bring the greatest benefit to the Lu family, and that would naturally be Su Chengmin.

Tong Huaqiong's mind was buzzing.

Tong Huaqiong quickly calmed down. If it really was Su Chengmin, then it could only mean that he and Gu Taohua were not meant to be. The fact that he was so stupid as to be outsmarted by his stepmother, who was not very bright to begin with, showed that he was useless.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and as everyone expected, a man and a woman were indeed seen embracing inside.

However, they were not maids or servants.

"Yin'er, what are you doing here?"

Ignoring everything else, Lu squeezed past Old Madam Min to the front, and her exclamation clearly reached everyone's ears.

Even if the crowd didn't want to witness the scene inside, they didn't have time to leave.

"Yin'er, Yin'er, what are you doing here?"

Lu rushed to Lu Yin'er's side.

Lu Yin'er's body was weak, her eyes were dazed, her face was flushed, and her clothes were half exposed. However, Lu Shi did not order anyone to put a piece of clothing on Lu Yin'er first. Instead, she shouted loudly as if she was afraid that others would not know.

Tong Huaqiong frowned.

In wealthy families like this, young ladies always have maids and servants by their side. Even if Lu Yin'er is staying at the Su residence, as Lu's own niece, she wouldn't leave her personal maids and servants to act alone, let alone let a stranger come up to her.

There is only one possibility: that the maids and servants were deliberately sent away.

"Where is Miss Biao's maid? Quickly, put a coat on her."

Madam Lin shouted at the maids of the Su family, "What kind of sight is it for the young lady to be lying with a man with her breasts half exposed?"

Lady Lu's ability to manage the inner quarters is truly remarkable.

The maids in the Su household did not move; they were all waiting for Madam Lu's instructions.

Gu Taohua couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she took off her outer garment and handed it to her maid, Su Qing, who then draped it over Lu Yin'er's shoulders. Lu Yin'er looked completely at a loss.

Madam Lin shook her head and sighed, then ordered her servants to take the young ladies who were with her to the back garden.

"Who is this madwoman? How did she even get in?"

Finally, Madam Lu fixed her gaze on the man next to Lu Yin'er.

The man had his back to everyone.

Both their clothes and their physiques are very similar to Su Chengmin's.

"Looks like he's having an affair," Old Mrs. Min said calmly.

Tong Huaqiong understood immediately. If anyone knew Su Chengmin best, it would naturally be Old Madam Min.

Since that's what Old Madam Min said, then this person just resembles Su Chengmin.

Madam Lu sneered inwardly, knowing that when Old Madam Min saw the adulterer's face, she would be crying.

Tong Huaqiong's gaze shifted to Madam Lu.

"Guards! Guards! Arrest this madman!" Madam Lu shouted to her personal maid. "Such a thing has happened in our mansion. Please invite the old lady and the master here."

The maid took the order and left.

"Ladies, for the sake of my daughter Yin'er's reputation, please stay and be my witnesses. My daughter Yin'er's innocence cannot be tarnished by others."

The ladies were speechless.

He's the one who ruined Lu Yin'er's reputation, isn't he?

Some of the ladies shook their heads slightly, wondering if Madam Lu really knew how to handle things in the inner quarters. Shouldn't she have suppressed such a matter first? Before anyone else could say anything, she had already made a fuss so that everyone knew.

Was she genuinely concerned about Lu Yin'er's reputation, or did she have other plans?
Unable to wait for Old Madam Su and Su Shihang to arrive, Madam Lu abandoned Lu Yin'er and went to grab the man on the ground.

He turned the other person's face around.

The light in his eyes was like the excitement of catching someone cheating.

"Su Cheng."

Just as Ms. Lu was about to unleash her full potential, her expression cracked and her voice abruptly stopped.

This person was not Su Chengmin at all, but a man who felt completely unfamiliar to her.

Ms. Lu felt as if she were in a frozen wasteland, her hands and feet were ice cold.

Old Mrs. Min frowned and sneered at Madam Lu, "What filthy thing dares to appear in my daughter's room?"

"Your niece cheated on me with a man in my daughter's room. Your Su family really doesn't even care about the face of the dead."

Mrs. Lu turned pale and inwardly cried out in alarm.

Lu Yin'er was outsmarted by Su Chengmin.

This person is wearing Su Chengmin's clothes and is about the same size as Su Chengmin. What a coincidence!

Lu Yin'er gritted her teeth and said to Old Madam Min, "You designed this, didn't you?"

Grandma Min was so angry she almost laughed. How dare they put a hat on her head in broad daylight? She was just too kind.

"Listen to what she's saying! Her niece was having an affair in my daughter's room, and she's blaming me? Do I even know who your niece is?" Old Mrs. Min pointed at Madam Lu and cursed, "You shameless little whore, you've been condoning your niece's affair right under your nose. Maybe you even found the man to deliberately taint my daughter's path to reincarnation."

Madam Lu, having been scolded by Old Madam Min, dared not retort. She addressed the crowd, saying, "Ladies, I have some matters to attend to at home. Please return home first. Once these matters are settled, I will invite you all to my residence for a meal and a performance to apologize."

The ladies thought to themselves, "Then we dare not come to watch the opera and drink wine again."

Everyone had their own thoughts. When Lu Yin'er was first discovered, why didn't Madam Lu let everyone go back? Instead, she dragged them along as witnesses. Why is she letting everyone go back now?
Everyone immediately realized that this play was designed by Madam Lu, but a mistake had occurred in the selection of the wicked wife.

Old Mrs. Min naturally wouldn't let Madam Lu have her way, saying, "Why leave? Since you're already here, you should all stand up as witnesses to prevent the Su family from falsely accusing an innocent person."

At this moment, Lu Yin'er slowly woke up, her upturned eyes darting around, and she called out in a delicate and charming voice to the so-called adulterer on the ground, "Cousin Cheng Min." (End of this chapter)
