Su Yurou didn't utter a single word in her defense. Instead, she let out feeble cries. Su Dinghe and Chu Chengye wished they could envelop her in their arms.
Su Dinghe was particularly infuriated with Madam Wu. "Do you have any evidence to support such a slanderous claim against my daughter? If you don't, then refrain from making baseless accusations!"
"What do you mean by no evidence?" Madam Wu retorted. "While she may not have directly interacted with Ruofei, she has frequented the Minister's Estate numerous times. Ruofei's maidservants can all vouch for this!"
Su Yurou clutched her handkerchief nervously. She had no immediate solution to this predicament, so she resorted to whimpering in front of Chu Chengye. "Your Highness, I'm truly terrified. Please, Your Highness, help me and spare me from further slander."
She was staking her position in Chu Chengye's heart.
