Chapter 200: The Final Truth (5)

Bei Chenying's acting talent was truly innate. He swept his gaze over the paper in Su Luo's hand. With just one glance, his brows furrowed tightly, and he then looked toward Su Zian with a complex expression.

That solemn and incredulous gaze terrified Su Zian, making his heart pound incessantly.

And Bei Chenying's hesitant demeanor—wanting to speak but stopping, appearing as if he had something to say but didn't know how—was like a claw scratching at Su Zian, making him feel restless all over.

The corners of Su Luo's mouth twitched; she was truly speechless at him.

Sigh, what could she say?

In truth, Su Zian's actions just now had been truly swift; when destroying the evidence, he was so fast that it was almost impossible for anyone to react in time.

Furthermore, she had been standing far away. By all logic, she shouldn't have been able to grab the scattered white paper. Of course, that was indeed the case in reality.

Then why did a piece of paper appear in her hand? Actually, this had to be credited to Su Luo's talent for bluffing.

She had pulled this piece of paper from her space, and Su Zian would certainly not be unfamiliar with it, because what was written on it was the "Diamond Sutra" she had copied last time.

It was just that because she held it in her hand, no one had discovered it was fake.

The most pitiful one was her cheap father; he stared at this paper, his eyes almost bulging out. If he were to find out that this paper was actually fake… his expression would surely be quite spectacular, right?

"Luo'er! Quickly, bring me that paper!" Su Zian said anxiously.

In truth, Su Luo was genuinely curious about what kind of secrets were written on the real paper that could make Su Zian this anxious.

However, Su Luo would certainly not return the note. If she returned it, wouldn't they realize she was bluffing?

Su Luo slightly furrowed her brows, looking at Bei Chenying and then at Su Zian, appearing very hesitant. After a long while, she spoke softly, "Actually, shouldn't today's theme be about searching for the stolen goods? Father, would you agree?"

How could Su Zian, who had climbed to the position of Grand General, be stupid?

He immediately understood, "What stolen goods? Nonsense! Your courtyard is clean; there is nothing here!"

Su Luo again appeared hesitant, "But… Mother, Brother, and Fifth Sister… didn't they all accuse me of hiring someone to frame Third Sister?"

Su Zian waved his hand and said sternly, "Absolutely not! That was your mother and the others talking nonsense, acting out of selfishness, and causing you to be wronged. Regarding this, Father will make them apologize to you."

How… Madam Su felt that today's sunlight was scorching, making her head spin, and she almost collapsed.

Having been married for many years, she truly hadn't expected that he would accuse her of talking nonsense and acting out of selfishness in front of so many people… This, this was such a serious accusation! Clearly, all these decisions had been made by him.

Not only Madam Su, but the expressions of Su Jingyu and Su Xi were also very poor. They stared at Su Zian in disbelief, then glared furiously at Su Luo.

Who would have thought that even though Su Zian had lowered himself to this extent, Su Luo was still not satisfied.

She looked at the room that had been ransacked into a mess and sighed softly, "Sigh, now that the courtyard has been turned into such a mess, it will take quite a while to tidy up…"

"It's fine! Father will send people to help you…" Seeing the faint hint of sarcasm on the corners of Su Luo's mouth, Su Zian suddenly realized, and with a wave of his hand, he said grandly, "Father will immediately order people to prepare the eastern Ziteng Garden for you to live in. Rest assured, everything will be provided; whatever your Fifth Sister has, you will not be shortchanged."
