After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 67 Returning the Gift

Cui Fangshu was trembling with anger at the scene before her, but she knew very well that such a family scandal should not be easily spread. So, despite her fury, she suppressed her anger and tried to suppress the matter.

But Wen Wan was only focused on leading people in to reveal the truth, and things wouldn't go as they wished.

In an instant, the whole scene became chaotic, and the situation became increasingly difficult to control.

What are you doing in front of my door?

A clear, crisp voice suddenly rang out, and everyone fell silent.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ali standing there in white, like the bright moonlight, or like a goddess living on the moon, pure and aloof.

Everyone munched on their sunflower seeds even more enthusiastically: Hey, there's a twist!

The two Xia brothers were overjoyed: "Little sister!"

Cui Fangshu was clearly displeased: "Where did you go? You made Wanwan call you so many times!"

Before Ah Li could speak, she continued, "Come and meet your sister. From now on, we are truly family. I'm warning you, obediently acknowledge her, and get along well with your sister from now on..."

"Heh~" How could Ali not see that her mother had been guarding against her causing trouble all along? But today, she was afraid she would be disappointed.

"I just won't acknowledge her! She's a treacherous woman..."

Before Ali could finish speaking, Cui Fangshu interrupted her sharply: "Nonsense! Wanwan is the most gentle, considerate, and well-behaved girl, while you are the one who doesn't learn anything good every day, only knowing how to lead your brother astray and slander your sister... Besides, I have adopted her as my daughter, and you have no choice but to acknowledge her!"

Seeing that her mother showed no hesitation in siding with outsiders, Ali merely frowned and continued, "I know Mother wants to acknowledge Wen Wan, but I will never acknowledge a sister who is pregnant out of wedlock and tries to frame me!" Ali spoke each word clearly, like a resounding slap across Cui Fangshu's face.

Enraged, Cui Fangshu immediately tried to hit her: "Don't ruin Wanwan's reputation, I'll beat you to death, you unfilial daughter!"

Before she could even approach, Ali threw out two people: "Mother, why don't you listen to what they have to say before punishing me?"

Seeing the mocking smile on Ali's face, Cui Fangshu's heart pounded. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. She subconsciously wanted to stop the two people kneeling on the ground from speaking, but it was too late.

The two kneeling men scrambled to speak, as if afraid of losing their lives if they were too late: "This old servant is a stable handyman. The Second Miss told me to come to Liuli Courtyard at 7 PM, saying she would reward me with a maid. All I had to do was insist that we were in love and had been having an affair for a long time when everyone arrived. But... but the Second Miss didn't say that the so-called maid was the Eldest Miss! If I had known earlier, I would never have dared to do it even if you beat me to death! Please, Master and Madam, spare our lives! Please, Master and Madam, spare our lives!" He finished speaking with tears streaming down his face, and then began to kowtow repeatedly.

The maidservant beside her hurriedly said, "Master, spare her! The second young lady is pregnant, and she wants to frame the eldest young lady. She ordered me to drug the eldest young lady's wine, and then put the second young lady's pregnancy-preserving medicine and medicine stove in the second young lady's room. After the second young lady finished recognizing her relatives, she will falsely accuse her of having an affair and being pregnant!"

boom!

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, the crowd immediately erupted in excitement: This is getting more and more interesting!

Good thing!

"See? I told you they were going to cause trouble."

"Haha, thank goodness you listened to me and came. This is going to be interesting."

Some even whispered encouragement: "Let them argue! Let them argue! I love watching!"

……

This was a very important matter, and everyone was invited to the front yard.

Xia Deqing knew Wen Wan was pregnant. A month ago, he even facilitated the marriage between Gu Ba and Wen Wan. The two were just waiting for today to be married, but now...

Judging from Wen Wan's expression, he knew that the matter was almost certain.

This child is so foolish! How could he make a mistake at such a crucial moment!

Why fight over love and be jealous? Just quietly go through this ceremony and become a glorious legitimate daughter, isn't that enough?

Cui Fangshu absolutely believed Wen Wan and immediately said, "You're talking nonsense. I, Wanwan, am such a good person. Only..." She glanced at Ali, as if she had found her target, "Only Xia Li would be so vicious. Don't you want her to become the legitimate daughter, so you're trying to frame her? How cruel you are!"

Ali: ...

Yes, she is my biological mother, but only by blood; she is someone else's biological mother.

Even the guards who brought the two men forward couldn't help but speak up. They had been involved in the whole affair and knew the truth, which was even more shocking than this.

Xia Yi stepped forward and bowed: "Master and Madam, I personally interrogated you about this matter, and everything you said is true!"

!!!

Cui Fangshu stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She might not believe Ali, but she had no choice but to believe the words of the leader of the Xia family's private army.

Xia Yi clapped his hands, and three more people were brought up. One of them was an elderly man who squinted slightly and said, "I am a doctor from Xingchuntang. Your family has indeed been buying medicine from me for the past two months, always in the name of the young lady."

Wenwan, like a drowning person suddenly grasping at a straw, hurriedly and aggrievedly wiped away her tears: "The old man said that it was you who went to get the medicine, sister. I wanted to keep it a secret for you, but everyone knows. Even if you don't want your reputation to be damaged, sister, why do you have to frame me?"

She cried so pitifully that the onlookers gradually began to believe her. After all, compared to the infamous Ali, Wenwan had always been a kind and gentle person.

Someone said, "How could the eldest daughter of the Xia family do this? Is she afraid of ruining her own reputation by framing someone else?"

Some people scoffed: "As if she has a good reputation."

"In my opinion, this servant was probably just someone the eldest young lady randomly found to frame the second young lady."

"That's right, she's the legitimate daughter, how could the servants not listen to her!"

"This eldest daughter of the Xia family is indeed extremely vicious. I'm going to spread the word everywhere and see who would dare to marry her in the future!"

"..."

Wenwan nestled into Cui Fangshu's arms, feeling wronged, but secretly pleased that everyone was on her side. She felt victory was in sight and even planned how to continue framing Ali.

But she forgot that this person was invited by Ali. So the old man spoke again: "I was entrusted by someone to come and identify the person who bought the medicine. It is this maid."

He pointed to the maidservant beside Wen Wan, then pointed to Wen Wan herself:

"I suppose the one this lady is holding in her arms is the young lady?"

boom!

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Now everyone's faces were a mix of colors.

Wen Wan was so angry that she was trembling all over.

Damn it! The pregnancy couldn't be made public; her personal maid had always been the one to buy the medicine.

Fortunately, the maid was clever and was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"It's not me. Madam dotes on Miss extremely, and there are several physicians in the courtyard, so I have never gone out to buy medicine!"
