Chapter 53: Chaos

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you saying? I... I'm not drunk? Do I not know myself? And the key... This is my oversight. Previously, when Madam Wang washed my clothes, she forgot to take out the key. It just so happens that I'm wearing the same clothes today, so I found the key and used it."

Qin Xu's eyes were wandering as he spoke. He was obviously racking his brain for an excuse, but even the villagers didn't buy it, let alone Mo Ruyue.

She glared at Qin Xu coldly and didn't even bother to look him in the eye.

"Second Lord Qin, you can't lie to anyone. The key is so heavy, how could Madam Wang not notice it when it was in your clothes? Hmph, you sneaked into your sister-in-law's courtyard in the middle of the night. If it wasn't for the fact that she hadn't moved in yet, do you know what the situation would be like now?"
