40: Chapter 40: Slandering Shen Hanxue 40: Chapter 40: Slandering Shen Hanxue Hearing this, all eyes instantly focused on Tang Xiangdong.

This was no small matter; if true, the Tang Family would definitely sever ties with Tang Qiulu.

“Donglin, you tell us, what exactly happened?” the Old Madam asked.

Tang Xiangdong glanced at Tang Siwen.

He should have been the one to explain this, preferably after Tang Qiulu arrived, but who knew Tang Siwen would already spill the beans.

“Grandma, the truth is Liu Hu is causing trouble for our Tang Family.

I spent a long time setting up a connection with Liu Hu, and I asked Tang Qiulu to go talk to him.

However, I received the news that Tang Qiulu didn’t leave Liu Hu’s farmhouse last night,” Tang Xiangdong said.

Who is Liu Hu?

A scoundrel in Hai City’s grey area.

If Tang Qiulu really stayed there overnight, no need to say more about what must have happened.

Other members of the Tang Family looked on in shock.

None expected the seemingly upright Tang Qiulu would dare to do such a thing?

“Donglin, have you verified this?”

“That’s right, you can eat random things but you can’t speak recklessly.

This matter concerns the reputation of our Tang Family.”

“That’s right, that’s right, it’s best not to speak carelessly without verification.”

These people seemed to be speaking on behalf of Tang Qiulu, but in fact, they were reminding the Old Madam in another way.

How could they miss such an opportunity to kick Tang Qiulu out of the Tang Family!

The Old Madam’s face turned grim, and she said in a low voice, “Donglin, have you verified this?”

“Grandma, I don’t know what Tang Qiulu was doing there, but she didn’t come home all night, and with someone like Liu Hu…

then…” Tang Xiangdong feigned hesitation.

The Old Madam angrily pounded on the table, “If she really did such a thing, I will definitely not spare her!”

“I never imagined Tang Qiulu would curry favor with Liu Hu like that.”

“In the past three years, she has brought enough shame to the Tang Family, who knew she would still do such a thing now!”

“This matter should have been left to Donglin to handle from the start.

Knowing Liu Hu’s nature, he might make this public, and the Tang Family would become a laughing stock in Hai City again.”

Listening to the words of the Tang family, the Old Madam’s expression became grimmer and grimmer.

Just then, Tang Qiulu slowly walked in.

“Grandma, Brother Cheng asked me to organize some documents and deliver them to their company, that’s why I’m late,” Tang Qiulu said.

“Really delivering documents?

Why can’t I believe it?

Did you wash before coming here?

You reek of a stench!” Tang Siwen sneered at Tang Qiulu, fanning the air around her nose with her hand purposefully.

“Tang Siwen, what do you mean by that?” Tang Qiulu looked at Tang Siwen, somewhat angrily.

Tang Siwen gave a faint smile, glanced at Tang Qiulu, and said, “What could I possibly mean, you know it in your heart.

Who knew you were such a woman, already married, and yet looking for other men.”

Looking for other men?

Tang Qiulu suddenly became furious; this was baseless slander that tarnished her honor.

“Tang Siwen, what did you eat this morning?

How could you spew such nonsense?” Tang Han retorted.

Tang Siwen stood up, unwilling to be outdone, and said, “Did it but won’t admit it?

Then tell me, is the problem resolved?”

“It’s definitely resolved,” Tang Qiulu answered.

“Ha,” Tang Siwen chuckled coldly, “Then how was it resolved?

How much did you pay?”

“Didn’t…

didn’t pay anything.” This matter was resolved by Su Changfeng; as for how it was done, Tang Qiulu was unsure, but she was certain no money was spent.

“Haha,” Tang Siwen laughed, “Resolved without paying?

Then you must be quite capable!

Probably used another method, huh?”

“Tang Qiulu, that person is Liu Hu, a figure in the grey area.

Can you handle it without spending a dime?”

Tang Xiangdong could guarantee, something definitely happened between Tang Qiulu and Liu Hu yesterday!

Otherwise, she would not have been capable of handling this.

But Tang Xiangdong did not expect, Tang Qiulu turned out to be a shameless woman, even after sleeping with Liu Hu, she could pretend like nothing happened.

Poor Su Changfeng, now truly wearing a green hat high and proudly.

“Tang Qiulu, what exactly is the situation, explain it clearly!” the Old Madam demanded.

Tang Qiulu looked at Tang Siwen, then at Tang Xiangdong.

Something must have happened while she was not here, and now the Old Madam’s attitude towards her was extremely cold!

“Grandma, the problem is resolved,” Tang Qiulu said.

“What method did you use?

Tell us,” Tang Siwen asked anxiously.

“You probably didn’t leave the farmhouse last night, right?

I don’t care with whom you slept, but the Tang Family’s reputation absolutely cannot be destroyed by you!” Tang Xiangdong shouted.

Hearing Tang Xiangdong’s words, Tang Qiulu’s chest heaved with anger.

It seemed they believed she slept with Liu Hu to resolve the issue.

“Tang Xiangdong, where did you get your information?

Where’s your evidence?

After leaving the farmhouse, I went straight home,” Tang Qiulu responded.

“Went home?

How can you prove you went home last night?” Tang Xiangdong asked.

In Liu Hu’s hands, Tang Xiangdong didn’t believe Tang Qiulu could safely leave.

“There are plenty who can prove it.

After I returned, I bought water from the grocery store downstairs and encountered neighbors; you can check if you really don’t believe.

The grocery store has surveillance, which can be checked,” Tang Qiulu explained.

Tang Xiangdong saw Tang Qiulu’s confidence; could it be that Liu Hu indeed let her go?

This is impossible.

Knowing Liu Hu’s nature, how could he possibly let Tang Qiulu go?

“Tang Qiulu, did you really not go there yesterday?

I put in a lot of effort to get that connection, and you didn’t even go?”

If Tang Qiulu didn’t fall into Liu Hu’s hands, there was one reason: Tang Qiulu didn’t go to the farmhouse.

“Tang Xiangdong, are you dumb?

Didn’t you hear what I said?

I said I resolved the problem; if I didn’t go, how could I have resolved it?” Tang Qiulu laughed.

“Impossible, you’re lying!” Tang Xiangdong didn’t believe Tang Qiulu.

To him, there were only two possibilities: first, Tang Qiulu let Liu Hu sleep with her and the problem was resolved, or second, Tang Qiulu never went and the problem wasn’t resolved.

“Tang Qiulu, tell me how you resolved this issue!” the Old Madam asked directly, seeing that things were unclear.

Tang Qiulu was in a bind because this was handled by Su Changfeng, and she didn’t know the details herself.
