“Yes, I heard she targeted the young madam of the Leng family a while ago. The eldest young master even gifted them a luxurious villa for this purpose. Now that she’s gone to such lengths to prepare for the engagement, it’s tragic that she ends up framed like this.”
Luo Xi blinked, appropriately displaying a look of disbelief.
“Marrying such a daughter-in-law is truly a misfortune for the Feng family.”
“That’s right. The Leng family’s third young lady got married for only a short time before her husband had an accident and died. Shortly after, her in-laws also passed away. With no hope left, she had to return to her family. They say she’s unlucky. Who knows if her daughter will be the same?”
The surrounding crowd began to murmur, speaking without restraint.
Some people didn’t want to see the Leng and Feng families united at all. The Leng family was already powerful enough for them to exploit. If they formed an alliance with the Feng family, wouldn’t that be disastrous for them?
So, in times like this, their words could be as venomous as they could be.
They just wished the two families would just fall out.
Lin Xuan panicked, her previous air of superiority and pride vanishing. She hurriedly explained, “It’s not like that. I didn’t know these were Grandma’s flowers when I had them brought back as decorations. Grandma, you have to believe me!”
“Yes, Mom. The flowers you plant are usually managed by someone. Even if they were moved outside to bask in the sun, they would always be brought back. How could they stay here all this time? If Xuan’er knew these were your flowers, she definitely wouldn’t have touched them. If we need to blame, it’s on whoever put the flowers here, making Xuan’er mistakenly think they were decorations.”
Leng Youran’s face also turned pale, and she quickly stepped forward to explain.
Lin Xuan nodded vigorously. “That’s right. I really didn’t know and thought they were just decorations for the venue, so I had them cut and brought back. It must be Luo Xi. She deliberately placed them here to let me take them and then framed me!”
She pointed at Luo Xi and said.
Luo Xi chuckled at this. “Miss Lin Xuan, I didn’t manage the flowers. Do you think I was so bored that I would move Grandma’s favorite flowers here, knowing you’d see them and cut them? I didn’t even know I had the ability to predict things. Tell me, does this make sense?”
Lin Xuan’s face turned red with anger.
“Grandma, I have two guesses. First, someone must have intentionally placed the flowers here, leading us to misunderstand that they were decorations to frame me. Second, the person who manages the flowers should be held accountable. After all, he said he brought them out to bask in the sun. Why were they left here for so many days without being moved? Could it be that they were deliberately left here to set someone up?” Luo Xi said with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.
“Xiao Li, what’s going on with you?” The old lady turned to the flower manager, whose face had turned stiff.
The manager’s face was pale as he hurriedly explained, “Because of Miss Lin Xuan’s wedding, all the flower management staff were taken away. I was the only one left in the management office, and I couldn’t move them alone. I thought I’d wait until the banquet was over to have someone move them back. I didn’t expect this would happen. Please punish me, Old Madam!”
The old lady took a deep breath, not knowing who was telling the truth and who was lying. She felt completely fooled and furious.
“Then why didn’t the young madam have the flowers moved when she set up the venue? If you had moved them, this wouldn’t have happened at all, right?” Wang Yaru questioned suspiciously.
