The drama tonight had just begun. With so many spectators watching, there had to be a few acts to make it worthwhile.
The woman in front of them smiled broadly, harmlessly. Everyone looked at her, and their first thought was that this woman must be the long-lost daughter of the Quan Family, separated due to a mix-up at birth.
Most of the people present had never met Su Xiaofeng, so when they saw Xiaofeng’s appearance and demeanor, they thought she compared favorably with many women raised in the Imperial Capital.
However, having been raised in the countryside, and now in the Xu Family mansion in the Imperial Capital, not just any household, claiming outright that the Xu family’s servants started the trouble was a bit naive.
Everyone was clear about the situation in the hall just now, Gu Yecheng merely wanted to take advantage of a beautiful girl and had left under the pretext of an upset stomach when he failed.
This Gu Yecheng, not having succeeded inside, took liberties with the young lady outside, such arrogance from Gu Yecheng was excessive even for him.
Even if Gu Yecheng was capable and respected, how could he think he was above the laws of the Imperial Capital and act indecently towards women or even engage in misconduct?
"Miss, who are you?" Mr. Cheng, standing to the left of Elder Xu, looked at Su Xiaofeng as if he did not recognize her: "This is Gu Yecheng’s issue, I’m afraid it isn’t your place to comment."
"Cheng He, I dislike that remark. Xiaofeng is my daughter, and also Yecheng’s wife. In such a situation, how can she not have the right to speak?" Quan Sifang naturally stood up when his daughter was targeted.
"Wasn’t your eldest daughter long deceased? Where did this one spring from, a secret child you fathered outside?" Mr. Wan looked at Su Xiaofeng with a slight sneer.
Plainly put, he and Cheng He sided with Elder Xu, naturally aligning with him.
"Xiaofeng is indeed the daughter I had with Chu Qing. She was separated from us years ago due to unforeseen events. We have conducted a DNA test, and there is no doubt about this." Quan Sifang looked at the other party, emphasizing each word about this fact.
"She is my wife, and she has the right to handle everything for me." Before anyone else could speak, Ye Cheng made his statement.
Ye Cheng stood there, his eyes deep, he glanced over Elder Xu and others, his lips curling slightly as if he saw through everything.
"Gui Yecheng, I’m sorry." The person who had been kneeling suddenly hugged Ye Cheng’s legs, tears streaming continuously: "I really didn’t mean to bump into you just now, please forgive me, Gu Yecheng. It was truly not intentional."
Xiaofeng chuckled lightly. She walked over to them, prying the person’s hands off Yecheng’s legs, her gaze mocking: "Tsk tsk, you clearly bumped into me, why are you holding onto Acheng’s legs? You should be holding onto mine. You also heard it—Acheng said that I’m fully in charge here, meaning, your fate is entirely in my hands."
The implication was clear, you’ve grabbed the wrong person; any plea should have been directed at her.
Xiaofeng raised her head, scanning the crowd: "Elder Xu, Ye Cheng and I came to the Xu Family with good intentions, to celebrate the wedding and wish the new couple well. Now it seems like Elder Xu doesn’t seem to want us here, first by drugging the drink that made my husband feel unwell, then by sending the most attractive servant to Ye Cheng’s side. Initially, my husband might have just needed to use the restroom, but then she had to claim that my husband touched her."
She let out a light laugh and continued: "And this person here is even more ridiculous, charging at us as we approached. Had I not cleverly swapped places with Ye Cheng at the critical moment, she would have collided with Ye Cheng instead. Elder Xu, such incidents happening within half an hour of each other, don’t you think this is too much of a coincidence? Or is it, perhaps, a situation you orchestrated specifically to try to strip Acheng of his inheritance rights?"
Biting back is easy for anyone.
Elder Xu looked at Su Xiaofeng, his cunning eyes slightly surprised.
Indeed, sharp-tongued, logical, speaking with conviction—it’s no wonder Old Gu, the sly fox, agreed to her marriage to Gu Yecheng. It seems this woman must have something exceptional about her.
