"It is said that Jiang Yuhuan used tricks to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the county prince. A good mother is only as good as her son. The county prince got angry and strangled Jiang Yuhuan."
"No way? Didn't Jiang Yuhuan wake up recently? Where did he learn those methods?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm just a foxy person by nature."
Jiang Yuhuan heard everyone's discussion and probably understood what was going on.
Maybe the rumors outside are even worse, but the noble daughter of a noble family cannot say such things.
Jiang Yuhuan looked at Qi Xiaoyu in the crowd and saw her dodge her eyes, and then stared at Jiang Yuhuan confidently. Jiang Yuhuan knew whose masterpiece this was.
Qi Xiaoyu persuaded her to hold a banquet and went through all the trouble to do it, just because she wanted the British princess to teach her a lesson? Or do you want to ruin her reputation?
Then her calculation was wrong.
"Since anyone is curious, I will explain it carefully. The prince of the county took me as his concubine after discussing it with my father. I was still crazy at that time. I wanted to know why the prince of the county accepted me as his concubine. It would be better to ask him. As for The injury on my neck? Sorry to disappoint some people, it’s not an injury.”
"It's not an injury!" Qi Xiaoyu couldn't help but retort, she was someone who had seen it up close.
Jiang Yuhuan smiled brightly and opened her red lips slightly, "It's a secret skin care recipe I researched. Applying it to the neck can eliminate the lines on the neck."
"You're talking nonsense! You were obviously in pain when I pressed on it yesterday, and you admitted it was an injury!"
Jiang Yuhuan sighed softly, "I'm also surprised. I've been in the mansion for so many days. Why was it okay before? Yesterday, someone spread such outrageous rumors. Miss Qi, only you and Miss Sun came to see me yesterday. Princess Qi came to see me , knowing that there is a mark on my neck similar to a scar."
"Nothing like that, you are obviously injured!"
Jiang Yuhuan avoided answering and looked directly at Qi Xiaoyu, "So are the rumors related to Miss Qi?"
"Who said it was me who passed it on!" Qi Xiaoyu looked as proud as Jiang Yuhuan could not do anything to her.
"Is that Miss Sun, or Princess Qi?"
Sun Jiaojiao and Ning Wan didn't come today, so no one denied it for them. But Qi Xiaoyu did not dare to involve them, and shouted angrily: "Don't change the subject. You are obviously injured!"
"So what if it's an injury, so what if it's not an injury?" Jiang Yuhuan smiled and moved closer to Qi Xiaoyu, "How can you prove that I got the injury by angering the prince, and you saw it with your own eyes?"
"How can such a good person as the prince beat someone for no reason!"
Jiang Yuhuan smiled even more. She leaned forward and leaned into Qi Xiaoyu's ear, "How did you know that this wasn't a little fun for me and the prince...?"
Those two words were spoken very softly, but they were enough for Qi Xiaoyu to hear clearly.
Qi Xiaoyu's expression changed, and she raised her hand and hit Jiang Yuhuan on the face with a "slap".
"You are shameless!"
Jiang Yuhuan didn't hide and was slapped to the ground by Qi Xiaoyu. She covered her face and looked at Qi Xiaoyu with tears in her eyes. She lowered her head and bit her lip in an instant, and said aggrievedly: "Miss Qi, why did you hit me? Just because I am a concubine, can I let you bully me?" ?"
"You are just a slave. If I beat you, you deserve it!"
The people who came this time were all there for the excitement, but they were not like Sun Jiaojiao, who really cared about whether there would be anything wrong with Qi Xiaoyu.
As soon as she said these words, the British princess's face turned cold to the naked eye.
"Miss Qi!" The British duchess warned in a deep voice with an angry look on her face, "Even if she is a concubine, she is still the granddaughter of my British duke. It is not your turn to teach her a lesson!"
The majesty of the Duke's wife instantly frightened Qi Xiaoyu like a quail. She pulled her sleeves and said angrily: "The Duke's wife, Jiang Yuhuan is so abominable, I just..."
"I just want to explain to Miss Qi that the injury on my neck is not a wound, but Miss Qi beat me indiscriminately."
Jiang Yuhuan stood up unsteadily with Sanqi's support. She was fair, and her red palm prints were particularly eye-catching.
"You didn't explain at all. What you said was...is..." Qi Xiaoyu couldn't say it. She couldn't say that kind of thing.
"Sanqi, bring me a basin of water. They won't give up until they see the truth today, and I don't want the county prince to be charged with brutal beatings because of me."
"yes."
Soon, Sanqi came over with a basin of water.
Jiang Yuhuan wetted the cloth with water and put it on his neck.
After a while, she wiped it gently and then took off the cloth, revealing her smooth and clean neck to everyone.
The scars disappeared, proving that Jiang Yuhuan was not lying.
Jiang Yuhuan put down the cloth and said regretfully: "That secret recipe needs to be applied for a long time to take effect. Miss Qi came suddenly yesterday, and I forgot to wash it off, so she misunderstood. Today I was also lucky, thinking that no one would pay attention to my neck, so I wanted to continue applying it, but it didn't work. I think Miss Qi was so stubborn. It almost made people misunderstand that the county prince has a bad temper and beats people if they disagree with her."
"When did I say that the prince was irritable? I clearly meant that you..."
"Oh, it's all a misunderstanding, just let it go." The British prince's wife smiled and tried to smooth things over and wanted to expose the matter. Qi Xiaoyu was so angry that her face was twisted, but she had to let it go.
The scars were fake, so it was untenable that Jiang Yuhuan was beaten because of something like that that made the prince impatient.
Her scar had been treated with Fu Shilu's ointment last night, and it had completely disappeared this morning.
The scars were made deliberately to prevent Qi Xiaoyu from causing trouble.
It wasn't like she didn't see Qi Xiaoyu staring at her scar yesterday, and it seemed like she was thinking of some bad idea.
Today, I just had to be careful when applying makeup to restore the appearance of the scars. Unexpectedly, I got an unexpected reward.
After this incident, the rumors outside should be self-defeating.
The British duchess also seemed to accept this statement, her face brightened slightly, "Now that you have entered the prince's palace, you must always remember your identity."
Jiang Yuhuan bowed his head and responded obediently.
"Girl, it's not good!"
A maid ran over in a panic, and Jiang Yuhuan hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"The girl from Wensihou Mansion fell into the water!"
Only then did Jiang Yuhuan realize that Jiang Li had left at some point.
Under the leadership of the maid, everyone came to the place where Jiang Yuhuan fell into the water.
What he saw was Jiang Li, who was hugging herself and huddled up, all wet. Standing next to her was Princess Sumin, who had left long ago.
"What's going on here?"
"elder sister……"
Just when Jiang Li called her sister with a trembling voice, Princess Sumin said indifferently: "I saw her sneaking around, so I asked someone to stop her and ask her who she was and what she was going to do. I have good intentions, but who knows She was so crazy that she stretched out her hand to push me. So I punished her and threw her into the pool to wake her up."
Jiang Li shook her head repeatedly, "No, it's not like that. I wasn't sneaking around. It was the princess who suddenly asked someone to catch me. I wanted to resist so I pushed her. I didn't mean it. But the princess..."
"You say that it's the princess's fault?"
Jiang Li hesitated to speak. She didn't dare to say it. Everyone knew what Princess Sumin was like.
She was uncertain, and with the support of the eldest princess, she couldn't afford to offend her.
"Concubine Jiang, now that your sister has scratched me, you have to give me an explanation."
Princess Sumin showed the back of her hand, and there were indeed a few red scratches on it.
"Jiang Li, did you catch him?"
Jiang Li trembled her lips, "Yes...but..."
"Apologize."
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Yuhuan in disbelief, "What?! I've already been thrown into the pool, and you still want me to apologize?!"
"If you do something wrong, you should admit it."
Not only Jiang Li, but Jiang Yuhuan also knew what Princess Sumin was like.
Now it seems that there is no difference from her book.
When dealing with this kind of person, you either have to be tougher than her backstage and be tough with her, or you have to be soft and suffer less.
She has no backing, no strong capital, and no reason to help Jiang Li.
She knew very well what Jiang Li was sneaking up on, so it was better to use Princess Sumin's hand to make her retreat.
"I don't apologize, I'm not wrong!" Jiang Li shouted, covering her face and stumbling away.
Jiang Yuhuan looked at Princess Zhaohua.
Princess Zhaohua is Jiang Qiao's stepmother and Jiang Li's aunt. Logically speaking, she should come forward.
But Princess Zhaohua seemed like an outsider, and Jiang Yuhuan knew she couldn't count on her.
So, she had no choice but to step up and clean up the mess.
"Sorry, my roommate is ignorant."
Jiang Yuhuan meant it in a polite way, but she didn't expect Princess Sumin to be serious.
"My sister is not sensible, but my sister is sensible. Why don't you apologize on her behalf?"
Adhering to the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, Jiang Yuhuan readily agreed.
"I apologize on behalf of my sister. She was spoiled at home and bumped into the princess without knowing what she was doing outside. There is medicine for wounds in the house, why don't I have someone take the princess to apply for the medicine?"
Princess Sumin waved her hand, "No, I think you are also a wonderful person, why don't you go with me?"
"But..." Jiang Yuhuan looked at the people behind him, his meaning was obvious.
She is the master, so she can't leave so many people behind.
Unexpectedly, then the British princess said, "Go ahead."
The British princess is the eldest here, and no one else will say anything when she speaks.
Jiang Yuhuan forced a smile and moved to a pavilion with Princess Sumin.
As soon as Princess Sumin sat down, she asked Jiang Yuhuan to pour tea.
Jiang Yuhuan had long expected that Princess Sumin had bad intentions, so she patiently picked up the teapot and poured tea for Princess Sumin.
She stopped when the tea was eighty percent full. Princess Sumin picked up the teacup and put it to her mouth. Before she could take the drink, she suddenly raised her hand and threw the teacup towards Jiang Yuhuan.
Jiang Yuhuan was on guard and spun around to avoid it.
But her hiding made Princess Sumin even more angry.
"How dare you hide!"
Jiang Yuhuan lowered his head, "I don't know where I offended the princess. I hope the princess will make it clear."
"Don't you want to apologize for your sister?"
"I just said it."
Princess Sumin sneered coldly, "Words don't matter, you have to take action."
This is because he didn't spread enough anger on Jiang Li and wanted to make up for it on her.
"If the action the princess said makes me stand there obediently and let you smash the cup and splash the tea, then forgive me I can't do it."
"You are a little concubine, you have no right to resist. Secret guard, slap me!"
Jiang Yuhuan frowned when he heard the word "secret guard".
The secret guards have great martial arts skills, but she may not be able to defeat them.
Immediately, a guard in black appeared, raised his hand and moved towards Jiang Yuhuan's face.
