Chapter 979: Chapter 977: Lu Ying’s Trap Design

“Ninth Princess Consort, this Master is an elder in the Su family. Regardless of what he has done, you all should show respect!” Lu Ying stood out at the right time to speak in front of everyone, stealing the spotlight.

“This Miss truly understands propriety! And she is also very pretty!”

“This is General Lu’s daughter from Bamboo Leaf Pass, well-born and good-natured. I’ve heard she’s talented in both literature and martial arts!”

“Alas, it’s a shame. Such a lady would be a suitable match for the young general!”

These words reached Wu Jinyan’s ears, and everything that had happened at Bamboo Leaf Pass replayed in her mind.

Su Qinghe also scoffed, “I will put aside the matters between you siblings for now, but as the patriarch of the clan, I cannot stand by and watch this wedding continue!”

He handed over the items in his hand to Su Qingzhi with a stern tone, “Qingzhi, you fool, look at this carefully for yourself! After you have looked, do you still dare to let them hold the wedding?”

“Grandpa!”

Su Hao, seeing Su Qingzhi confusedly accepting the items from Su Qinghe, instinctively hurried to grab them. However, Su Qingzhi sharply scolded him, “Stop right there! If you dare move, I will throw you out of the Marquis’s Manor!”

“Grandpa!” Su Hao had no choice but to stand still, but the things on that paper would obviously ruin his wedding with Wu Jinyan.

He couldn’t bear it. Just as he was about to make another grab for it, Lu Ying, with sharp eyes, sprang into action along with him. The paper, scrolls, and official documents in Su Qingzhi’s hands were all scattered on the ground.

On the surface, Lu Ying was stopping Su Hao, “Su Hao, you must not lay hands on the Old General. He’s your own grandfather, after all!”

Underhandedly, however, she kicked, scattering the items in front of everyone.

A proclamation was blown to Su Miaoyan’s feet. Su Miaoyan was about to catch it when Xiao Yu swiftly waved his folding fan, shielding her face and preventing her from touching the object.

Su Miaoyan’s eyes widened, “Brother Yu, what is that? Why won’t you let me catch it?”

Xiao Yu’s expression was cold as he protected her and took a step back, “It’s nothing good, don’t touch it.”

The events of today were clearly a trap that had been carefully laid out in advance.

Whether the Su siblings were planners or victims, it had nothing to do with him. He would not let Su Miaoyan get involved and be tainted by scandal.

His young girl was pure and adorable.

“A hefty reward for whoever has seen this lady and brings her to the government office!”

“This young woman encountered danger at night. We hope the public will unite to find her!”

“Eh, isn’t the woman in this portrait Miss Wu? It’s signed by the county magistrate of Bamboo Leaf Pass. Could it be that she encountered danger at Bamboo Leaf Pass?”

“God, she hasn’t been assaulted at Bamboo Leaf Pass, has she? That’s why she’s hastily marrying the young general?”

“So this is why the patriarch came to stop the wedding!”

“Is the child she’s carrying of the Su family bloodline?!”

“You’re talking nonsense! The child Yan’er is carrying is mine. Shu Yan, throw out anyone who speaks out of turn!”

Su Hao shouted coldly.

Shu Yan hurriedly moved to expel people, trying to retrieve the scattered papers.

But it was too late to stop the rumors.

Everybody looked at Wu Jinyan, pointing at her bulging belly, gossiping and conjecturing wildly. Some even started to fabricate stories that Wu Jinyan was a spy from the enemy country, infiltrating Su Hao’s side to gather intelligence, and that she was carrying an illegitimate child in order to muddy the Su family bloodline.

“Shut up, all of you shut up!”

Su Yingxue bit her teeth in hatred. The mouths of these people were genuinely vile, catching them off guard!

“Yingxue, come back!”

Su Qing’s face was dark as he instructed Su Wei, Su Dingwei, Qin Wan, and others to escort the guests out, leaving only the Su family members in the hall.
