"Who taught you to say that?!"
Mrs. Jiang moved to a high position and asked Jiang Ning with her old, painted face.
"No one instigated it, but my granddaughter saw it with her own eyes."
Jiang Ning lowered her eyelashes and said seriously.
Seeing the nervous expressions of Shen Manshu and Mrs. Jiang just now, Jiang Ning became more and more convinced that they must have known about Jiang Yanzhou and Shen Qingyao's secret twinning.
It's just that Jiang Yanzhou is the most proud eldest grandson in their eyes. He has been quite successful in his official career since he became an official in the court and earned a lot of good reputation for the gradually declining Duke Protector's Palace. Only then did the officials in the court discover the Duke Protector's Palace. Not completely in decline.
Therefore, Mrs. Jiang and Shen Manshu can turn a blind eye to the matter between Jiang Yanzhou and Shen Qingyao, as long as they do not make too much trouble and only resolve the matter within their own courtyard.
However, Jiang Ning was exposed today, and seeing that they could no longer hide it, they were naturally furious.
"You're talking nonsense. Brother Zhou stayed in the banquet hall entertaining guests all day yesterday and didn't go to the Summer Palace. You, on the other hand, went to the Summer Palace but refused to admit it..."
Mrs. Jiang insisted that Jiang Yanzhou had never left the banquet room and stared at Jiang Ning as if thinking about something.
"My granddaughter has a witness."
Jiang Ning's face was calm, and there was no trace of panic.
"who is it?!"
Madam Jiang suddenly grasped the armrest.
"The eldest son of the Xie family from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion."
Jiang Ning didn't know when she had straightened her back and raised her head to meet Mrs. Jiang's slightly panicked look.
Yesterday, Jiang Ning clearly remembered that she and Xie Chenxu separated at Youshi. From this, she deduced that during the two hours from Youshi to Xushi, Jiang Yanzhou was definitely not in the banquet living room, but waiting for her with Xie Chenxu in a quiet place outside the banquet living room.
"Mother, the eldest son of the Xie family is the head of the Sentence Department."
Hearing this name, Shen Manshu's face showed a rare hint of panic.
Although the female relatives in the back house are not familiar with official affairs, they often travel with the wives of officials from various houses in Jingzhou City and attend various banquets. They do know a little bit about the identities of officials in the court.
They couldn't afford to offend Xie Chenxu, and they didn't dare to offend him, let alone asking him to testify. That was simply shooting themselves in the foot. It would be better to let this matter end here and just put it aside.
Mrs. Jiang naturally heard the meaning of Shen Manshu's words. After looking at Jiang Ning for a few more times, she softened her expression and said, "Sixth girl got up first, but what happened today was also because of you? Go back by yourself." Copy the female virtues three hundred times to serve as a warning to others."
After a few words, he didn't mention anything about the Summer Palace.
"The granddaughter thanked her grandmother."
Jiang Ning stood up and replied obediently as usual.
In this look, the aura of confrontation with Mrs. Jiang just now was completely gone.
Mrs. Jiang stared at her coldly, then told the female members of the Jiang family not to reveal anything about today's events, and then asked them to leave.
After everyone had gone away, she said: "Ask the second roommate to tell Brother Zhou that he will either take that cheap maid as his wife or sell her to a brothel."
"yes."
Nanny Zhang responded and asked her servants to wait until the night was quiet to send a message to Shen Manshu.
After such an incident, it was already afternoon, and the girls could no longer go to class in the Summer Palace, so they simply went back to their own courtyards.
When Jiang Ning returned to Furong Courtyard, Caihe prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones for her. He squatted down and rubbed the inkstone to copy down female virtues for her.
"Girl, you just shook Mr. Xie out like that. What if the old lady and the others really call him over to confront him?"
Xie Chenxu looked very scary. Even if he had that kind of relationship with Jiang Ning, he might not be able to help her.
Jiang Ning chuckled, "They don't dare."
Jiang Yanzhou also pointed out that Xie Chenxu could help him in the officialdom. Mrs. Jiang had no time to flatter him, so how could she let him do such a thing.
"The girl is still thoughtful."
Just now he saw that Jiang Ning was out of danger in Furui Hall, and Cai He's heart dropped.
"But, some people are really impatient today."
Jiang Ning clenched the pen in her hand slightly.
"Girl, you mean big girl?"
Caihe came out in response.
Jiang Ning nodded lightly and lowered her eyes coldly, "Those who dig their own graves will surely reap the consequences."
