Chapter 170 Han Nian'an's reputation is completely ruined
Qin's face turned pale. "What nonsense! How can you be so shameless as to tell such a lie!"
"It's true. I have been the prince's person for a long time. If you don't believe it, you can call the prince back and confront him face to face!" Han Nian'an said in a very firm tone.
After that, she yelled at the servants, "Put me down quickly. I might be pregnant. If I get hurt, who can bear the consequences?"
The servants couldn't help but stop what they were doing, not knowing what to do for a moment.
In this imperial city, it has never been heard of any noble lady from an aristocratic family having an affair with a man before getting married, let alone shouting it out in public.
The other guests present were even more shocked by Han Nian'an's shamelessness.
Not only did she have an affair before marriage, but she also claimed to be pregnant. Where did this Han concubine come from? The reputation of the Changning Marquis's Mansion was simply being trampled on the ground.
Feeling the sympathetic, curious or anticipating gazes of the crowd, Qin's vision almost went dark and she felt dizzy.
"Nonsense, it's just nonsense!" Qin gritted her teeth, "Why don't you drag this nonsense-talking slave into the mansion and find the prince back? Today I must expose this slave's lies!"
Although Qin kept saying that it was a lie, no matter whether it was true or not, since Han Nian'an said so, such heavy news was enough to make the whole imperial city boil.
Han Nian'an had been dragged back to the mansion. Qin looked at everyone and finally her eyes fell on Jiang Suining.
"Don't worry, Madam. Since this man has confessed and has no grudge against me, and something like this has happened... let's hand them over to you for disposal. The Jiang family will definitely not say a word to the government."
Qin's eyes were complicated, and the fondness she had before was gone in them when she looked at Jiang Suining. However, due to the presence of many people, she could only bite the bullet and respond slowly.
Soon, Qin returned to the mansion, and all the guests for the day said goodbye and left. However, such news made many people very excited, and they naturally discussed it endlessly in private.
Chu Jingyue lowered her voice, extremely surprised, "Sui Ning, do you think what Han Ning'an said is true or false? Could it be that she is really with Zhou Shizi..."
"Does it matter whether it's true or not? Han Nian'an shouted it out in front of so many people, who would care about whether it's true or not."
"That's right." Chu Jingyue nodded. "But if this news spreads, Han Nian'an and the Han family will be discredited. The remaining daughters of the Han family may not be able to get married. Han Nian'an is really reckless. I'm afraid that the Han family will become the laughing stock of the entire imperial city for a long time to come."
"It's not just the Han family that's involved in this matter. It takes two to tango. If spit is really going to drown someone, Zhou Yihong should be involved as well."
She couldn't be sure whether what Han Ning'an said was true or not, but if it was true, then how could Zhou Yihong, a man, become invisible?
"That's true, but the world in our world has always been very demanding of women. Even I just subconsciously only thought of Han Nian'an and forgot about Zhou Yihong. But..." Chu Jingyue looked at Jiang Suining and smiled, "Han Nian'an has made things difficult for you several times before, and now she has framed you like this. I didn't expect that your first reaction would be to feel sorry for her."
Jiang Suining shook his head, "I'm not feeling sorry for anyone, I just feel it's a little unfair."
As she spoke, she noticed Shen's mother standing beside her, and realized that she had not left, but had been looking at her.
Feeling somewhat puzzled, Jiang Suining bowed to Shen's mother and said, "Thank you, Madam Shen, for speaking for Suining just now."
"Miss Jiang, you don't have to be polite. I am just saying what is on my mind." Mother Shen looked at Jiang Suining with admiration.
Not only is she good-looking and well-mannered, but she is also able to remain calm and rational when being framed, neither humble nor arrogant, and respond calmly. In addition, after what she said just now, although she was framed by Aunt Han, her first reaction to seeing her fall into such a situation was not to gloat over her misfortune, but to consider the injustice of the rumors and gossips. Such a woman is really likable!
only……
Mother Shen turned her thoughts and walked to Jiang Suining, looking at her with a smile.
"Miss Jiang, I have something to ask you, but I don't know if I should ask you this or not."
"Mrs. Shen, feel free to ask if you have anything to say."
"Did you know that Aunt Han would frame you?"
Mother Shen looked directly at Jiang Suining and asked. After asking the question, she quickly added another sentence.
"Ms. Jiang, please don't misunderstand me. I don't have any other intentions, and I don't think there is anything wrong with you doing this, it's just..."
"Yes." Jiang Suining nodded.
"Really?" Shen's mother was slightly stunned.
"It's true." Jiang Suining repeated with a smile.
Mother Shen suppressed her surprise. Could it be that she actually guessed it right?
She just never really believed in coincidences, and she felt that what happened today was just too coincidental, so she couldn't help but ask this question. But she didn't expect Jiang Suining to answer so straightforwardly.
"Miss Jiang, aren't you afraid that this lady will tell others?"
"I believe that Madam has no ill intentions. Moreover, regardless of whether I knew about it in advance or not, it is true that Han Nian'an wanted to frame me. Whether it was the maid or the man who secretly placed the night pearl, they were all arranged by her and have nothing to do with me."
"Sui Ning, how did you know about this?" Chu Jingyue asked curiously.
"When Han Nian'an came to deliver the wedding invitation in person, I guessed that she might want to do something today, so I sent someone to monitor her whereabouts. I found that she bought the night-shining pearl privately and contacted the man and the maid of the Marquis' Mansion, so I roughly guessed her plan."
"So you deliberately gave the Night Pearl as a gift today, and what the coachman said about leaving and coming back, and then catching the person, was also arranged by you in advance?" Chu Jingyue asked again.
Jiang Suining nodded, "Not only that, but also the location where the carriage is parked today, and the red paint on the wall, were all prepared by me in advance."
"No wonder you were so calm just now, it turns out you knew it a long time ago!" Chu Jingyue said with a smile, "Really, why didn't you tell me in advance? I was worried about you just now."
"I'm sorry, it's all just speculation after all. Before Han Nian'an took action, I wasn't absolutely sure that she would do so." Jiang Suining smiled apologetically at Chu Jingyue.
The latter naturally didn't really blame her and immediately said it was okay.
Mother Shen looked at Jiang Suining with some doubt, "Since Miss Jiang was already prepared, she only needed to catch the man who sneaked into the carriage, so why did she need to use the box of night pearls?"
