Thinking of this, her sorrow welled up, and her voice became even more grief-stricken, “What this servant didn’t expect was that after entering your room, you were actually delirious, completely… This servant couldn’t escape, so the events that followed occurred.”

“Young Master, this servant truly didn’t drug you or set you up, it was purely coincidental!” You know it. Xu Wanning raised her head, her watery, round eyes soaked with tears, looking directly at Yan Xiangze, who was seated above.

Her palm-sized face was streaked with tears, and her bright, pearl-like eyes were full of sorrow, looking at him with dependence and… fear?

Yan Xiangze’s heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously lowered his gaze, avoiding her eyes.

In his heart, he actually already believed some of her words, because the information he had gathered was completely consistent with what she said. Even if there were some discrepancies, they were insignificant.

So what if he was biased!

A woman who could pique his interest was worth his bias.

If she could continue to soften his heart, he might give her a good outcome!

After all, wasn’t she just trying to fly up a branch and become a phoenix?

What he had in abundance was money and power!

“Young Master, Young Master, this slut is talking nonsense!” Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for his son, the Head Steward disregarded his fear and shouted again, “A Fu only knows how to be honest and simple. How could he do something like colluding with others to climb into your bed? It wouldn’t benefit him at all!”

“It’s completely because this slut wanted to latch onto someone of high status that she committed this act of bed-climbing!”

“A Fu is innocent!” The Head Steward kowtowed incessantly, his voice becoming more and more grief-stricken.

“You’re the one talking nonsense!”

Xu Wanning’s eyes widened in anger. Because she was too angry, her small chest rose and fell rapidly. She scolded, “You say A Fu is honest and simple? Has your eyes gone blind when he relies on your status to act recklessly in the manor, even threatening the young maids?”

“Besides, I haven’t admitted that I didn’t climb into bed willingly. It’s just that your son is too disgusting, making me prefer to climb into someone’s bed rather than submit to him! The Young Master is of noble status and extraordinary demeanor. Would I be stupid enough not to choose him over your fat-headed, vulgar son?” Saying this, Xu Wanning glared at the Head Steward with disdain, then looked again at Yan Xiangze, who was seated above.

Anticipating and fearing his reaction, her round eyes trembled slightly, and her hands, which were hanging by her sides, were clenched tightly due to nervousness.

“Slut, talking nonsense!” The Head Steward stared intently at Xu Wanning, his eyes, deeply embedded in fat, filled with murderous intent.

However, Xu Wanning wasn’t afraid at all, and even glared back.

Who doesn’t know how to kill with their eyes!

If gazes could turn into blades, he would have been cut into a thousand pieces long ago!

If it weren’t for his idiot son, would the original owner of this body have chosen to climb into bed?

If the original owner hadn’t climbed into bed, she wouldn’t have died in bed due to fright and other reasons… Wait!

Died in bed?

Xu Wanning raised her eyes in surprise and glanced at the man in the seat of honor, a look of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

Is he so brave?

Isn’t it said that there are no fields that can’t be plowed, only oxen that die of exhaustion?

Thinking of her experiences on the bed last night, Xu Wanning only felt her legs trembling, and a desire to escape suddenly arose in her heart!

She didn’t want to be worn out and die on the bed.

Yan Xiangze didn’t know what she was thinking, let alone know her ability to badmouth him in her heart. He thought she was waiting for his decision.

“Thump!” A not-too-light, not-too-heavy sound made the two people present instantly quiet down and turn their heads to look at Yan Xiangze, who was seated above.

“Let A Fu come in!” Yan Xiangze took a sip of tea, not even raising his head, and said casually.

…

“This servant greets the Young Master!” A Fu knelt down tremblingly, the fat piled on his body trembling along with him.

Yan Xiangze glanced at Huaidan.

Huaidan immediately stepped forward and asked coldly, “The Young Master was drugged, why were you able to coincidentally send someone into the Young Master’s room!” Speaking of which, he was also very unhappy.

The Young Master’s safety had always been his responsibility. He had clearly been very responsible in keeping watch over the Young Master that day, but he hadn’t even noticed someone sneaking in.

This time, it was someone who wanted to climb into his bed, so the result was still good. The Young Master wasn’t hurt, but what if the person who came in wasn’t trying to climb into his bed but trying to assassinate him?

At the thought of this possibility, the murderous intent in Huaidan’s eyes couldn’t be restrained any longer.

Being stared at by his murderous gaze, A Fu was extremely frightened and couldn’t help but turn his head to look at his father, his expression full of pleas for help.

Unfortunately, the Head Steward had been bound by Huaidan with great foresight, and his mouth had been stuffed with a rag. Faced with his son’s pleas for help, he could only helplessly raise his head, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.

Although the Head Steward couldn’t give him any hints, A Fu wasn’t completely stupid either. He knew that he couldn’t admit that the Young Master’s drugging had anything to do with him, but it was impossible for everything to be unrelated to him, because with the Young Master’s ability and status, he would definitely be able to find out something.

Thinking this, his eyes darted around, and after seeing Xu Wanning kneeling quietly to one side, he had a plan.

“This servant doesn’t know, it was all Miss Xu who instructed this servant to do it!”

“It was Miss Xu who asked this servant to send her in. She explicitly said that it had to be at that time last night. At most, this servant just took advantage of the manor’s influence to provide some convenience, but I didn’t do anything else!”

“How could this servant have imagined that it would be such a coincidence that the Young Master just happened to…” He glanced at Xu Wanning, raised his hands high, and kowtowed heavily on the floor, shouting, “Young Master, this servant was just following Miss Xu’s instructions, I don’t know anything else!”

“You’re talking nonsense!” The anger in Xu Wanning’s heart surged to the top of her head, her eyes full of indignation, her eyebrows standing on end. She scolded, “No wonder you grew a mouth, it turns out you use it to fling filth!”

“You’re fat-headed and big-eared for nothing, looking like an honest and simple pig, but your heart is darker than a weasel that bows to a chicken for the New Year. You even listened to my instructions? I’ll tell you to quickly take a rope, go outside, and find a crooked-necked tree to hang yourself from, would you listen? You still listen to me, bah!”

Her straightforward cursing made Yan Xiangze couldn’t help but look at her again. She didn’t notice, her round eyes wide with anger, facing A Fu, her small mouth opening and closing constantly, her red tongue occasionally appearing, making his lips dry and his throat parched.

“You, you’re shameless!” Not expecting her to be so shrewish, A Fu, who had never seen her like this, was dumbfounded, his face full of astonishment.

“You’re the shameless one. You said I designed it? I didn’t know I, an orphan, had such great abilities in this manor, able to go to anyone’s courtyard whenever I want, able to do whatever I want!” The anger in Xu Wanning’s heart had reached its peak. She looked at the Prefect, who had been shrinking there like a quail the whole time, thought of something, and sneered.

“Your Excellency, please say something fair!”

“When did you give this servant such great authority, able to surpass all the masters and call the shots in this huge Prefecture!”

The Prefect straightened up abruptly, looking around blankly, glancing at Yan Xiangze, who was seated above, and finally looked at Xu Wanning, shaking his head, his face full of helplessness.

“Miss Xu, this old man really doesn’t know anything!” He didn’t even call her “WanNing” anymore, which showed how much he wanted to distance himself from her.

He was really wronged to death. Although he wanted to offer beauties to the Young Master, he had never thought of sending someone to climb into his bed, let alone drugging the Young Master.

He was truly sitting at home when the pot fell from the sky.

However, after hearing so much, he also had some clues. Wasn’t it just that Xu Wanning had the heart to latch onto someone of high status, and A Fu had the heart to push things along, wanting to get a beautiful maidservant for free, which led to the bed-climbing incident?

However, drugging the Young Master certainly had nothing to do with them!

As a court official, how could he not know how many people had been offended by the Young Master’s trip south to control the floods this time? Although he didn’t understand why it was aphrodisiacs and not poison that was used on the Young Master, he didn’t know!

Anyway, he didn’t want anything now, he just wanted to get through this calamity as soon as possible!

In the future, if he ever brought nobles to his mansion again, no, if he ever offered beauties to nobles again, he would be a dog!

Thinking this, the Prefect glared fiercely at A Fu, and even gave the Head Steward, who had followed him for decades, a white look.

It was all the fault of this old fool’s stupid son, otherwise, why would he be in this situation? He would replace the Head Steward tomorrow!

He would replace him tomorrow!

“Miss Xu, this servant really listened to your instructions, you can’t cross the river and tear down the bridge, can you?” Seeing that Xu Wanning wanted to drag the Prefect into this, A Fu panicked instantly, but fortunately, he hadn’t lost his composure and continued to accuse Xu Wanning.

“Cross the river and tear down the bridge? You fat pig can’t even do anything human, and you still want to cross the river? If you drown in that dirtied river, who will you complain to!” Xu Wanning was simply furious, her eyes red with anger, looking pitiful and ridiculous, and her words became more and more harsh.

These words were a personal attack, and A Fu’s expression changed instantly.

“In other words, you devised a way to have someone sneak into this Young Master’s room!” Yan Xiangze glanced at A Fu, who wanted to speak, and said indifferently.

Yan Xiangze’s question made A Fu instantly wake up. Disregarding his anger, he wanted to defend himself.

“This servant, this servant…” He was at a loss for words, not knowing how to defend himself.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake from the very beginning.

He shouldn’t have thought that the Young Master might know some of the inside story and chosen to take some of the responsibility upon himself. Wasn’t this handing a weapon to others!

“Huaidan!” Yan Xiangze retracted his gaze and said casually, “A Fu is reckless and intends to harm this Young Master, beat him to death with a stick!” The last two words were like a thunderclap, making A Fu dizzy and disoriented.
