You Tingrong and Chi Qinglang stood side by side on the steps. They looked at You Guitai, who was wearing official robes and official robes.

Look at You Tingrong.

You Tingrong looked at him calmly. Only today did she realize that the corners of her father's eyes were droopy. Because he had a straight face all year round and there were deep wrinkles at the corners of his mouth, he was already over forty. He was old.

You Guitai was transferred to the capital less than two years ago. He was just a casual official. He did some unimportant paperwork every day. He was not even close to the powerful officials in the capital. He only heard of Chi Qinglang but never saw him.

.

When You Tingrong thought of this, she couldn't help but feel ironic. If her father recognized Mr. Chi, he would probably laugh out loud and wish to push her out.

After a while, a crowd of people gathered at the door of the study to watch the excitement. Even the waiters from the teahouse across the street leaned against the door, stretching their necks to look at what was going on.

Third Yi Niang obviously knew that You Guitai loved face most, so she opened her mouth and stepped on his sore foot, "What nonsense! The eldest lady is such a well-behaved and sensible person, and the master is kind. Even if you really have a sweetheart, you can't have such an affair."

thing!"

"I don't dare to talk nonsense." Liu'er looked around at the passers-by, "Not only the slaves, but many people coming and going have seen it!"

Following her aggrieved retort, the people around her started talking loudly in twos and threes.

"The girl's family is so shameless."

"Yes, all the elders in the family have come here. How embarrassing! If it were my daughter, I wouldn't be able to see anyone."

"She is still a worthy lady!"

…

You Guitai's shoulders were shaking with anger, and he tried his best to restrain his furious self, and word after word came out of his mouth, "Listen, you say it yourself!"

"My daughter just came here to look for a chess book." You Tingrong responded calmly.

"Miss, you should tell the truth to me." The third aunt lifted up her skirt and stepped forward with a caring face. "If we are really like each other, it will be a good thing and it will save the face of both families..."

"Third Yi Niang is well informed. As soon as I arrived, your maid arrived." You Tingrong raised her eyebrows slightly and stabbed: "Third Yi Niang came out to check the accounts and had to send someone to follow me. She is really well-intentioned.

"

You Guitai's eyes also turned to the third aunt, causing her to hurriedly argue, "Why do you think the eldest lady is so suspicious of me? My aunt is doing this for the eldest lady's safety!"

Chi Qinglang sneered, "In this world, there is actually an aunt who sends people to follow Miss Li, and the girl she sent is so unobtrusive, which shows that she has bad intentions."

Third Yiniang didn't take him seriously at all, and said to You Guitai: "Master, if I hadn't been more cautious, by the time something irreparable happened, it would have been too late to make amends..."

"Third Yi Niang only listened to half a word, but she knows everything about it. Those who don't know, think you taught her what to say."

The third aunt's expression froze and she said with a smile: "The eldest lady is joking. Liu'er has been serving me for a long time and is the most stable and appropriate one. She doesn't dare to talk nonsense."

You Guitai couldn't stay any longer. No matter what happened, he shouldn't become the laughingstock of others in public. "That's enough! Since it's just a misunderstanding, why don't you go back home quickly?"

Third Yiniang clutched the handkerchief tightly and advised: "Since it is a misunderstanding, it is best to clarify it on the spot, otherwise people will think that our You family is guilty!"

You Guitai is not a fool. The third aunt brought him here on the grounds that You Tingrong was missing, and made Liu'er make a scene in the street. She wanted to ruin You Tingrong's reputation and pressured him into agreeing to this ridiculous marriage.

.

Thinking of this, You Guitai almost broke his back molar. His legitimate daughter, who had a great future, was going to end up here!

"What Third Yin Niang said is that since you have done nothing wrong, you are not afraid of others seeing you!"

You Tingrong looked at Liu'er with sharp eyes, "Let me ask you, have you ever seen this young lady having a private meeting with someone?"

Liu'er nodded, "It's absolutely true!"

"Then how do you know about my affair with him?" You Tingrong's lips curled up slightly, "It can't be possible, because we happened to come from the same study room, right? If so, everyone onlookers can explain

It’s unclear!”

These words caused everyone to nod and burst into laughter.

Liu'er looked around nervously and said anxiously: "You just came to this study to have a private meeting with him. It's not a coincidence at all."

"Oh?" You Tingrong sneered, "So, you know him?"

Liu'er choked and looked at Third Yiniang.

"Since you don't know me, I just happened to be interested in the same book as this young master, so we just chatted a few words." You Tingrong said calmly, "Father, the servant who has such ulterior motives to frame the master will definitely be kidnapped.

I'll give him a good beating and sell him out as a warning to others!"

Third Yiniang's face darkened and she nodded towards Liu'er.

"I know him!" Liu'er said hurriedly: "It's because the master doesn't agree with this marriage that the eldest lady has an affair with him."

You Tingrong laughed, "Then tell me, who is he?"

Third Yiniang felt something was wrong. She was about to blurt out the question, but Liu Er blurted out, "This is Xue Shanli, the young master of Qianyi Study."

This time, not to mention You Tingrong who found it funny, all the regulars in the study laughed. Even Xue Shanli poked his head out from the counter, "Who called me?"

For a moment, everyone was talking about it, pointing at Liu'er and saying anything.

"This maid is obviously talking nonsense, yet she is so confident."

"She said she was my aunt's maid. She must have been instigated by someone to frame the young lady..."

"Yeah, you don't even know the person yet you dare to identify him."

…

Third Yiniang's face suddenly changed, her eyes were panicked for a moment, she pointed at Liu'er and said angrily: "You are such a bold girl! How dare you fool the master!?"

Liu'er's face was full of horror when she was pointed out, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Auntie, I don't have this slave..."

"You didn't...did I wrong you?" Third Yin Niang glared at her, "Thanks to me taking special care of your mother, you are so bold and reckless!?"

Liu'er was stunned for a moment, trembling her lips and not daring to tell the difference.

The third aunt then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at You Tingrong with a face full of shame, and said softly: "Miss, it's my aunt who doesn't know people well and has wronged you..."

As the third aunt spoke, she reached out to hold You Tingrong's hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and glanced at the handkerchief in Chi Qinglang's hand inadvertently, "But you are also... so good, why do you do this?

Wouldn't it be objectionable to give one's veil to a man whom he has never met?"

Liu'er also came back to her senses and was reminded by the third aunt, and she quickly testified, "Even if I don't know him, I saw the eldest lady taking out the handkerchief from her arms and giving it to this young master with my own eyes!"

Liu'er specifically emphasized "in the arms" and said it in an ambiguous way.

You Tingrong stared at her acting expressionlessly, Liu Er was exposed and she still refused to let go.

You Tingrong took her hand out of Third Yiniang's hand, grabbed it before Liu'er, and asked: "A girl like Liu'er who talks lies and has ulterior motives, would Third Yiniang rather trust her than me?"

"This..." Third Yiniang was thinking about how to speak.

"It seems that Liu'er has indeed won your trust. I'm afraid that some things are also your instructions, right?" You Tingrong tilted his head and looked at her with a smile.

Third Yiniang pursed her lips unconsciously and twitched the corners of her lips twice. She looked at Liu'er's pleading eyes again and knew that this plan was in vain.

"Of course my aunt trusts the eldest lady." The third aunt smiled softly.

Third Yiniang turned around and looked at the onlookers. She knelt down and apologized: "It was just a misunderstanding and I made everyone laugh." She was extremely considerate.

You Guitai saw that things had finally come to a happy ending, his face looked a little better, and the corners of his mouth were still tight. Whether it was his daughter's moral corruption or his aunt framed his legitimate daughter, he could not afford to embarrass this person. He just wanted to turn a big deal into a trivial one.

.

Third Yi Niang knew exactly what You Guitai was thinking and opened her mouth to him pitifully, "Master, you've been tired for a long day, let's go back home first?"

You Guitai nodded, and Third Yiniang supported him naturally, and whispered to Zhang's mother, "Take Liu'er back quickly."
