In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 34 Let's get a physical examination.

Jiang Qingyue never expected that even at this point, Jiang Luoyu would still not repent and would even try to smear her.

"Jiang Luoyu, what nonsense are you spouting?" Jiang Qingyue questioned righteously, "Not only did you fail to kill me, but now you're trying to slander me. You're utterly hopeless!"

"Sister, you've gone too far! Second brother wasn't wrong either. You were captured by bandits for one night, and what was bound to happen has already happened. If it were me, I'd rather be dead!"

The thought that she had to return everything to Jiang Qingyue filled Jiang Chuchu with resentment!

So she couldn't help but step forward, and Madam Lu couldn't stop her in time.

There was still hope, but her hasty decision to jump out will only invite gossip and be detrimental to her.

Madam Lu quickly stopped her, "Chuchu, you can't just say things without evidence." Madam Lu whispered to Jiang Chuchu and winked at her.

However, Jiang Chuchu believed this was the perfect opportunity. She was blinded by jealousy and completely ignored Lu's hints.

"My young lady was rescued yesterday, don't slander her!" Mu Lan has now seen through this family's true colors. If it weren't for her young lady having her own plans, she would have also tried to persuade her to go to the princess's residence.

"Ha, who knows? Just because you say so doesn't mean it is!" Jiang Chuchu was determined not to let Jiang Qingyue off easily this time.

Even if she couldn't change the situation, she wanted to completely ruin Jiang Qingyue's reputation. That way, Jiang Qingyue wouldn't have the face to compete with her for the marriage, and even that marriage would be ruined...

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuchu resented Jiang Qingyue even more.

"I was the one who saved you yesterday. Does Miss Jiang Chuchu have any objections? Or do you think I'm lying?"

Because his identity was not revealed, Qin Xuanyu did not refer to himself as "this king," but instead directly used the word "I."

Jiang Chuchu felt a chill run down her spine. Remembering Qin Xuanyu's identity, she gritted her teeth. She refused to believe that Qin Xuanyu would dare to openly protect Jiang Qingyue in front of so many people. Even if Jiang Qingyue's innocence wasn't proven, it could still be said that the two of them had something going on, and Jiang Qingyue would still be unable to clear her name.

"That's just what you said. Did anyone actually see it? I know you meant well, but, sister, we must be brave enough to admit our mistakes. The Prime Minister's Mansion won't dislike you for this. You'll always be a young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Jiang An was caught off guard by Jiang Chuchu's audacity in interrupting Qin Xuanyu, and had no time to stop her.

However, Jiang Chuchu's words were not without reason.

"Jiang Chuchu, what is your intention in being so eager to confirm that I am no longer a virgin? Do you think that by using rumors to force me to my death, you can avoid returning what is mine?"

Jiang Qingyue saw through Jiang Chuchu's petty cleverness at a glance, and felt even more contempt for her.

"You... how could that be? I'm just stating the facts."

"Alright, so you just think there were no witnesses yesterday? I'll give them to you."

After speaking, Jiang Qingyue nodded to Qin Xuanyu. Qin Xuanyu beckoned, and a middle-aged man stepped forward. "I can vouch for the truth of what this Young Master Wang and Miss Qingyue said."

"Isn't that the manager of Zuixianlou?"

"It's true!"

"Shopkeeper, what exactly happened?"

They never expected that the manager of Zuixianlou would step forward.

"Last night, this young master brought this young lady to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for a stay. He booked an entire floor of private rooms in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, saying that no one should disturb the young lady, and he even sent some men to guard the stairwell."

It was a big commotion back then. Not only me, but many guests who stayed at my Zuixianlou restaurant at the time can testify to it. Some of them even had to change rooms because of it, causing quite a stir. You can easily find out the truth by asking around.

The words of the manager of Zuixianlou directly confirmed Jiang Qingyue's innocence.

Jiang Chuchu never expected it could be like this.

No, she doesn't believe it!

How could Jiang Qingyue always get away so cleanly? It's impossible. Jiang Qingyue must have done something!

Thinking of Qin Xuanyu standing beside her, Jiang Chuchu realized, "It must be you. You bribed the shopkeeper, or coerced him, didn't you!"

"Chuchu, you've lost your composure!" Jiang An quickly stopped her, fearing that if Jiang Chuchu continued, it would lead to irreversible consequences.

"Miss Chu Chu is probably living a secluded life in her chambers. You probably don't know that Zuixianlou is incredibly wealthy, with countless businesses. Even the royal family has to give them some face. I've never heard of such a person being bought off before. As for coercion and bribery, you're overthinking it. He's even willing to offend the emperor. Do you think he could be coerced or bribed by others?"

A voice suddenly came from behind Jiang Chuchu, almost calling her ignorant.

Jiang Chuchu blushed with embarrassment. How could she possibly know all this? How could a businesswoman suddenly become so well-connected?

How could she know that Zuixianlou (醉仙楼) pays a huge sum of money to the imperial court every year, and that behind it stands not only officials, but also the emperor! They have the resources to do so.

With Zuixianlou as our witness, who would dare to say anything more?

But Jiang Chuchu was unwilling to accept it!

She bit her lip, unable to contain the resentment and anger in her eyes. She gritted her teeth, "Who knows if Jiang Qingyue is..."

With a loud "smack," Jiang An slapped Jiang Chuchu hard across the face. "Shut up!"

How could he never have realized that the daughter he raised from childhood was such a brainless person?

He didn't even consider the occasion or who was around before spouting such nonsense. Even a ghost could hear the malice he was showing towards Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Chuchu staggered from the blow, covering her face and staring at Jiang An in disbelief.

Jiang Luoyu stepped forward with a pained expression, looking at Jiang Chuchu's face with a grim expression. "Uncle, what did Chuchu say wrong? She's simple-minded, so she naturally says what she thinks. Is that wrong?"

simple?

Jiang Qingyue almost burst out laughing. If Jiang Chuchu were so naive, the sun would rise in the west.

"Shut up too! I'll deal with your matter when your father arrives!"

One by one, they're all restless. What did he do wrong? They're all coming to collect their debts.

"Let's drop this matter. With the innkeeper and many guests as witnesses, I naturally believe them. Qingyue, you've been wronged today, and I will make it up to you. I'll have your sister pack up and move out of that courtyard; it will be yours from now on."

"Father!" Jiang Chuchu still couldn't accept that her things had fallen into Jiang Qingyue's hands. "That's my courtyard, Father!"

"shut up!"

Jiang An was prepared to let the matter drop, but Jiang Chuchu seemed oblivious to his intentions and continued to make a scene, "No, I won't accept this! Who knows if the witnesses are real or not? Do you think you can just accept whatever you say in a few words?"

Jiang Chuchu was still not giving up, "I demand a physical examination, otherwise, I won't accept it!"

The crowd erupted in an uproar!

For a woman, undergoing a physical examination is an immense humiliation. Regardless of the final outcome, Jiang Chuchu's words were an attempt to completely destroy Jiang Qingyue.

Besides, now that there are witnesses, there's no need for it at all. Jiang Chuchu's intentions are as clear as day!
