Seeing Princess Zhaoyang's angry look, Linglong was so scared that she kowtowed to her desperately.

While kowtowing, Linglong begged for mercy:

"Please spare my life, Princess. I am only following my sister's orders. I did not intend to harm you."

Qiu Shuang was different from Linglong. Although she was also a maid, she was also very scared at this time, but she was Jiang Wan's head maid after all. She took a deep breath, then looked at Linglong and said:

"Yes, it was my idea, and it was only my idea. It had nothing to do with Miss Jiang. I felt sorry for Miss Jiang because she was worried about the battle with the King, but I didn't dare to disturb her, so I..."

Qiu Shuang said this, and after solemnly bowing to Jiang Wan, she lay on the ground and said firmly:

"I know my crime is unforgivable, and I am willing to die as a token of my guilt."

Jiang Wan stared at Qiu Shuang blankly, tears falling, and shook her head and said, "Qiu Shuang, you, you, why are you so stupid?"

Shen Qinglan was not surprised to see Qiu Shuang admit all the crimes.

Qiu Shuang was a smart person. She naturally knew that at this moment, in the face of evidence, she would never be able to turn the situation around even if she did not plead guilty.

On the contrary, if she admitted the crime, her master might be able to help her out.

It’s just a pity that since Shen Qinglan dared to bring them in front of him, this couldn’t be the only evidence.

Before she entered the palace, she had already asked Shuwen to keep a close eye on her, so she knew much more than Jiang Wan.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan smiled, looked at Jiang Wan and Jiang Xiangguo and said:

"Miss Jiang's maid is indeed loyal, but as for today's matter, I will not let anyone fool me."

When Shen Qinglan said this, he clapped his hands, and Ren Wei immediately brought a man over.

That man was the first one who made a fuss to watch the bridal chamber prank just now in the outer room. He was none other than Prime Minister Jiang's cousin, a minor official of the sixth rank.

After the man was brought up, he looked at Prime Minister Jiang tremblingly, his eyes full of guilt.

Prime Minister Jiang's face darkened and he glared at the visitor with some anger.

The man shrank his neck, and heard Shen Qinglan chuckle and say:

"Sir Chen, you can talk to us and tell us what happened. This will clear Princess Zhaoyang's name and give my wife and Prince Zhan peace. Otherwise..."

Shen Qinglan's voice was apparently very gentle, but Lord Chen only felt that this Princess Zhan was very scary.

Even...Princess Zhan had already set her sights on him, and this was how she grasped his lifeline, forcing him to betray Prime Minister Jiang...

Lord Chen looked at Prime Minister Jiang cautiously, coughed and said:

"Cousin, don't be angry. It was you who asked me to find a chance to bring everyone together to watch the fun."

"You also said that as long as everyone sees Prince Zhan and that girl Jiang Wan sleeping together, and then everyone sees that Princess Zhan has a secret meeting with a man from another world, Jiang Wan can become the new Princess Zhan!"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang immediately said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! Don't even think about bringing me up!"

Master Chen curled his lips, shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Cousin, it's useless for you to deny it. We have all the witnesses and evidence. One more or one less won't make a difference."

Prime Minister Jiang was very angry at the reckless words of his cousin.

When Jiang Wan came to him for help, he was thinking of fanning the flames, so he found this cousin.

You have to know that his cousin has always been a carefree person. It is very normal for him to bring up the matter of making trouble in the bridal chamber. No one will suspect anything.

But unfortunately, something went wrong here.

Seeing Prime Minister Jiang was so angry that he was fuming, Shen Qinglan smiled softly and said:

"If Prime Minister Jiang feels that what Lord Chen said is not true, this princess still has a witness. I think there is nothing to refute about what this witness said."

When these words were spoken, Jiang Xiangguo and Jiang Wan's hearts skipped a beat and they looked up.

After a short while, the "madman" who had just been carried away was seen walking over tremblingly with the help of servants.

When the "madman" saw Jiang Wan, a strong hatred burst out from his eyes. He knelt directly in front of Zhan Wang and Shen Qinglan, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Please ask the Princess Zhan to make the decision for me! Everything was arranged by Miss Jiang! I just followed her orders and planned to ruin the Princess's reputation."

"But later, for some reason, Miss Jiang pestered me, and I had no choice but to be with Miss Jiang... Then Miss Jiang suddenly attacked me cruelly! I beg the King of Zhan and the Princess of Zhan to severely punish such a dissolute and cruel person!"

The madman seemed too excited. When he said this, the bandage on his neck began to bleed again, and he looked miserable.

Jiang Wan was really panicked at this moment.

She really didn't expect that this madman was not dead yet!

She thought that after killing him, there would be no evidence, but...

Shen Qinglan looked at Jiang Wan, his eyes full of coldness, and said:

"Miss Jiang, this princess treats you as a friend, but you used this method behind my back and almost ruined my reputation. If the old princess hadn't just had a headache, and this princess and King Zhan hadn't gone to visit her, what would have been the consequences?"

At this moment, the War King also had a cold expression, and looked at Prime Minister Jiang with murderous eyes, sneering:

"Prime Minister Jiang, you really raised a good daughter! I will report this matter to His Majesty tomorrow!"

"I would like to ask His Majesty, Prime Minister Jiang is a model of a scholar, but he can't teach his daughter what is propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. How can the world follow his example?"

Prime Minister Jiang stood there, his expression unpredictable, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But Jiang Wan knew Prime Minister Jiang too well. At this moment, she was already panicking, tears kept flowing, and she opened her mouth to plead with Shen Qinglan and King Zhan:

"Wan'er didn't do that. Wan'er didn't mean it. Wan'er just likes Prince Zhan too much. Prince Zhan, don't be angry. Wan'er doesn't want to be the legal wife anymore. Even being a concubine is fine."

King Zhan glanced at Jiang Wan sarcastically without saying anything, but just looked at Prime Minister Jiang with a burning gaze.

Jiang Xiangguo took a deep breath, took a half step back, put his hands together in front of him, bowed deeply to Huo Zhanting and Shen Qinglan, and said:

"Today's incident was caused by my daughter's distracted thinking. I almost made a big mistake. I beg King Zhan and Princess Zhan to forgive me. I will definitely bring my daughter back and discipline her well."

Prime Minister Jiang had no choice but to admit it.

How could he dare to protect Jiang Wan anymore after Huo Zhanting's threat?

If this matter really came to the court and came before the emperor, it would probably shake my importance in the emperor's heart.

At least, the emperor could no longer trust him as much as before.

After all, how can someone who can't even manage his own household affairs take care of state affairs?

It was also because of this that Prime Minister Jiang had to swallow his anger.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan just chuckled and asked with interest:

"Prime Minister Jiang, Miss Jiang almost ruined my reputation and even tried to frame Princess Zhaoyang. So, is it enough to just take her back and discipline her?"
