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

Chapter 774 Confrontation
Grandma Su was unhappy at her birthday banquet and went to the Buddhist hall to worship Buddha.

The maidservant beside Madam Lu rushed over to tell her that her cousin and a man had been cornered in the late Madam's room.

Knowing that Old Madam Su disliked Madam Lu and probably wouldn't go to support her cousin, the maid deliberately spoke vaguely, saying that the man's clothes and appearance were the same as the eldest son's.

Grandma Su couldn't bear to hear this, so she threw down her Buddhist scriptures and rushed over.

She wanted to beat Lu Shi and Lu Yin'er, that aunt and niece, to death for daring to cause trouble right under her nose.

Today, Su Chengmin publicly broke her heart. No matter how disappointed she was in Su Chengmin, she would never allow Madam Lu to force Lu Yin'er onto Su Chengmin.

If you're going to scheme, you should scheme against the second daughter of the Lin family, the legitimate daughter; that's the granddaughter-in-law she's after.

At the time, Madam Lu promised her that she would have a way to make Su Chengmin and Gu Taohua break off their engagement at her birthday banquet. She thought that Madam Lu wanted to matchmake Miss Lin and Su Chengmin, so she let Madam Lu do whatever she wanted.

She never expected that the Lu family was so ambitious that they planned to marry Lu Yin'er to Su Chengmin.

When Old Madam Su learned that Su Shihang had asked the Emperor to bestow a marriage between Su Chengmin and Lu Yin'er, she flew into a rage. Lu repeatedly said that she was wrong and would never have the idea of ​​marrying Lu Yin'er to Su Chengmin.

So it turns out they were just paying lip service while secretly going against it.

How could she possibly tolerate this?

The fact that Lu Yin'er was sitting on the ground with a wronged look on her face made her even angrier.

"You two, Lu family aunt and niece, are a pair of worthless bastards. You can't live without a man from the Su family, can you?"

When Old Mrs. Su got agitated, she showed no respect for Mrs. Lu and disregarded the reputation of the Su family.

This was the second time today that Mrs. Lu had been slapped by her mother-in-law. She covered her face, filled with hatred for Old Mrs. Su.

"Seung-min, Seung-min, are you alright? The person who plotted against you..."

Grandma Su stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, finally realizing that the man next to Lu Yin'er was not Su Chengmin at all.

Grandma Su patted her chest, nearly collapsing to the ground due to the overwhelming emotional turmoil.

Seeing Old Madam Su's behavior, Tong Huaqiong and the others became even more certain of one thing: that Madam Lu and Lu Yin'er were indeed plotting against Su Chengmin.

Tong Huaqiong thought about it one more time.

How did Grandma Su confirm that Su Chengmin had been framed?

So, who was Su Chengmin originally supposed to be trapped in this room with?
However, this person became Lu Yin'er, so Old Madam Su couldn't stand it, and the brief alliance between her and Lu Shi regarding Su Chengmin's marriage completely broke down.

Covering her face with a wronged expression, Madam Lu sobbed as she said to Old Madam Su, "It's all my fault. I didn't properly check the guest list for Old Madam's birthday banquet today, and let people who shouldn't have entered the mansion, which made Old Madam worry."

"It's understandable that the old lady mistook this madman for the eldest son in her panic, since the madman's clothes and appearance were similar to the eldest son's."

These words from Madam Lu were not only directed at Old Madam Su, but also meant to explain to Su Shihang and the other ladies why Old Madam Su believed that Lu Yin'er's lover was Su Chengmin.

Su Shihang's face turned ashen. He wanted Su Chengmin and Gu Taohua to break off their engagement, but he never imagined it would be done by ruining his son's reputation.

If it weren't for the need to cover up the scandals of the Su family in front of everyone, he would have loved to write a letter of divorce to Madam Lu.

As her husband, Lu Shi knew exactly what Su Shihang was about to say the moment he turned his back. With tears streaming down her face, Lu Shi said weakly, "Master, this scoundrel is Cheng Min's subordinate. He lured Yin'er here during the old lady's birthday banquet and committed indecent acts... Waaah..."

“If Chengmin doesn’t like me, his stepmother, then come at me. Why ruin Yin’er?”

Lu's words were implied as criticism of Su Chengmin.

Since Lu Yin'er can't marry Su Chengmin, let's pin the blame on Su Chengmin.

This will make everyone understand that all of this was orchestrated by Su Chengmin to get revenge on her.

Gu Taohua couldn't hold back any longer and said to Madam Lu, "I hate people like you who keep things half-said. Why can't you just say what you mean? Why do you have to leave things ambiguous and deliberately make people guess? Aren't you trying to say that Su Chengmin instigated this? He certainly doesn't like you as his stepmother, and conversely, you don't like him either. Is it possible that your niece really wanted to marry Su Chengmin, so the two of you conspired to scheme against him, but ended up scheming against the wrong person?"

What Gu Taohua said was the fact that everyone believed.

However, while noblewomen in Shengjing wouldn't gossip about other people's family affairs, Gu Taohua couldn't care less and pointed out Lu's ulterior motives.

Madam Lu cried and said, "Peach Blossom Girl, you are Cheng Min's fiancée, so of course you should speak up for him."

"You shameless woman, what are you accusing me of? Peach Blossom is right, why don't you say it's your good niece who deliberately seduced you?"

Grandma Su was unhappy that Mrs. Lu had dragged her eldest grandson into the mess.

Grandma Su can't control Lu Yin'er and Gao Ming, as long as Su Chengmin isn't involved.

Before Lu could say anything more, Su Shihang shouted angrily, "Enough! Isn't this embarrassing enough?"

Grandma Min took everything in, and after everyone fell silent, she slowly said, "Mrs. Lu, you only found out what happened in the house after you got here, just like us. How can you be so sure that this was caused by my grandson? Tao Hua and I think the same thing. You wanted to marry your niece to Cheng Min but failed, so you took the opportunity to scheme against Cheng Min. I didn't expect to have schemed against the wrong person."

"I'm not praising Chengmin, but he's a hot commodity in Shengjing. Your niece has no family background or connections, so it's almost impossible for her to marry into a wealthy family and become their principal wife in Shengjing. After much deliberation, you two decided to target Chengmin. Firstly, you could control him through Lu Yin'er, keeping him firmly in your grasp. Secondly, you could elevate the Lu family's social standing. Fortunately, Chengmin isn't blind; he only likes the generous and straightforward Tao Hua. Ever since you two got engaged to Tao Hua, you felt hopeless and resorted to this underhanded method to scheme against Chengmin."

The ins and outs of this matter are not hard to guess at all.

Lu tried to defend herself, but Old Madam Min didn't give her a chance and directly accused Lu of scheming against Su Chengmin for the sake of marriage.

Gao Ming tried to speak several times, but was ignored each time.

"Gao Ming, what exactly happened? We want to hear your side of the story." Old Mrs. Min gave Gao Ming another chance to speak.

Gao Ming raised his voice and said, "Grandma, I also want to ask Madam Su why I'm here. I accompanied the Commander-in-Chief to celebrate your birthday, Grandma. Madam Su called me out from the banquet. Everyone knows that Madam Su and the Commander-in-Chief don't get along. I thought Madam Su wanted to use me to persuade the Commander-in-Chief. The maid who led the way brought me to this room and closed the door, and then this is what you see."

"You're talking nonsense." Madam Lu interrupted Gao Ming, crying with tears streaming down her face, "You're slandering me. When did I ever let the maid bring you here? As someone close to Cheng Min, would I order you around? It must be you who helped Cheng Min plot against Yin'er."

Unable to argue with Old Madam Min, Madam Lu simply continued to drag Su Chengmin into the mess.

Gao Ming said angrily, "Why would I help the Commander plot against Miss Lu? I'm not even married yet. I'm an innocent young man, and now I've lost my innocence. What am I after? Should I even consider marriage?"
