But now that this happened, it seemed to have helped him invisibly.

While Xie Jinghong was thinking, Madam Wang had already begun to sweat nervously, and was also considering whether she should take the blame like the Jiang family did, and then just say that Wang Hongyi just suddenly got lost.

But at this moment, someone exclaimed: "Huh? That man seems to look a bit like the eldest son of the Wang family."

Everyone's attention was drawn there again.

Madam Wang was dumbfounded. She had never thought that someone could recognize her son. But she still argued, "My son is upright and honest. He would never be so rude. Someone must have framed him!"

"Tsk, everyone in the capital knows what kind of person your son is. He seems to be so upright and honest, but he's actually flattering himself." The wife of an official from the Ministry of Rites pouted.

Wang Hongyi is the eldest son of the first wife and is said to be the late born son of the Wang family patriarch. He is pampered on weekdays, but unexpectedly he is spoiled and indulges in luxury and debauchery.

Perhaps Xie Jingce couldn't stand it any longer and thought it was too noisy, so he immediately ordered someone to fetch a bucket of cold water and said, "Whether it's a false accusation or not, we'll make our own conclusion after we see who's in the room. Why bother making a scene here, like a shrew scolding in the street?"

The wife of the official from the Ministry of Rites: "..."

Madam Wang: “…”

You are a shrew, and your whole family are shrews!

But the two of them were determined not to curse out loud, and they both smiled awkwardly and shrank their heads.

Jiang Wanyue smiled secretly in her heart. She was worthy of being trained by her father Ye Shen. She even learned how to curse people.

Xie Jingce raised his hand and signaled, and a bucket of cold water was poured on the two people who were still doing it in the room, and they were immediately chilled to the bone.

The two of them also woke up completely.

"what--"

When Jiang Wei saw the man on top of her, she screamed instantly and subconsciously tried to cover the important parts of her body, but it was impossible. Her clothes had already been scattered on the ground in pieces. She hurriedly picked up a few pieces that were still intact and put them on.

Wang Hongyi also reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream. He looked around in confusion, and when he saw a crowd of people at the door, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The faces of the two were exposed to everyone's view.

"Third sister?" Jiang Wanyue looked at the disheveled woman in the room with a look of shock.

Xie Jinghong frowned slightly and raised his hand to signal Jiang Cheng and his daughter to get up.

When Mrs. Wang saw the two people in the room, her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.

If she could have argued a little just now, now that she had seen the person's face clearly, no matter what she said, it was useless. Could it be that she really wanted her son to marry a concubine's daughter? She could never let this happen!

Jiang Wei came back to her senses when she heard Jiang Wanyue's voice. Her mind was in a mess. She vaguely remembered that this room was clearly prepared for Jiang Wanyue and Wang Hongyi to achieve happiness, so why did it end up being her turn?

It must be Jiang Wanyue, yes, it must be her!

"Jiang Wanyue, you bitch, why did you want to hurt me!" Jiang Wei rushed to Jiang Wanyue like a madman and raised her hand to hit her.

It was too late for Jiang Cheng to stop it. Jiang Wanyue's face changed slightly but she did not dodge. The slap landed on Jiang Wanyue's face.

Jiang Wanyue looked innocent and said aggrievedly, "What did you say, Third Sister? Why would I want to hurt you? Even if I did something wrong, my father would beat me. It's not right for a concubine like Third Sister to teach me a lesson. Is my doing this embarrassing for my father?"

"The late Lady Su was a wonderful person. I don't believe her daughter would frame her own sisters."

"It's rare to see a concubine's daughter teaching a legitimate daughter a lesson."

"You don't know, I heard that after Su passed away, the family finances were in the hands of that concubine. Poor Miss Jiang, the legitimate daughter of the Bo family, has to make a living under the control of a concubine."

"..."

Jiang Cheng's face turned pale and black when he heard this. He immediately felt that his reputation was ruined at this moment. He glanced at Jiang Wei fiercely and slapped her in the face: "Evil creature! You did such a shameful thing and you have the nerve to blame others! You have brought shame to my uncle's family!"

A crisp "pop" sound calmed Jiang Wei down.

"Father," Jiang Wei covered her aching face, tears streaming down her face, "I, I was really framed. I received a note not long after my sister left, and then I came here. I don't know why Young Master Wang is here, wuwuwu."

Her innocence was ruined, but this time, as long as all the blame was put on Jiang Wanyue, she would be the victim. She didn't believe that so many people would still protect Jiang Wanyue.

Madam Wang seemed to understand what Jiang Wei said, and stepped forward and said, "Master, maybe Miss Jiang is resentful because of the marriage a few days ago! My poor son is good in everything except that he is a brainless person. Who knows, he may have fallen into someone's trap."

Everything is good? It sounds better than singing, but no one here believes it. But the phrase "no brains" is really right.

However, what Madam Wang said made some sense. The marriage between the Jiang and Wang families seemed to be a case of the Wang family marrying up, so it was normal for Miss Jiang to be unwilling to marry. Any woman would feel some resentment if she met such a playboy.

Jiang Wanyue was so angry that she laughed. She looked at the two women in front of her, each of whom was more talkative than the actors on the stage.

Jiang Wanyue looked innocent and knelt down to Xie Jinghong again: "Your Majesty, please make the decision. I am the legitimate daughter of the Earl's Mansion. This is my first time entering the palace and I don't even know the route around the palace. How could I have brought my sister here? Besides, I just broke off my engagement with Master Wang a few days ago. He doesn't have time to resent me, so how could he cooperate with me to act like this? Lady Wang keeps saying that it's my fault, but there's no real evidence. I will never admit this crime even if I die!"

Xie Jinghong also had a serious look on his face, but in his heart he was trying to determine whether Jiang Wanyue's words were true or false. Yao Yu'an beside him was also looking at Jiang Wanyue calmly.

He remembered that three years ago, after Ye Qingwu entered the palace as queen, he quietly cut off Ye Qingwu's contact with the outside world. It seemed that Jiang Wanyue had never entered the palace, because he intercepted her several times.

It’s just that the Wang family’s wealth is indeed very tempting, but at the same time, we can’t let the Jiang family down. After all, the relationship between the Jiang family’s daughter and Ye Qingwu is really good. What if…

After a while, Xie Jinghong sorted out the pros and cons. He looked at Madam Wang and said, "As Miss Jiang said, everything requires evidence. Does Madam Wang have any?"

evidence?

Madam Wang was about to cry. Where could she find any evidence? But she soon thought of someone and said, "I saw Miss Jiang leaving with a palace maid at the banquet. Maybe the maid knows something. Your Majesty can call her over and ask her about it. Then we can know whether Miss Jiang has framed someone."

There was a glimmer of cunning in Madam Wang's eyes. She knew that the palace maid had been bribed by her long ago, so even if she asked, she would insist that it was Jiang Wanyue.

Yao Yu'an's lips moved, but he said nothing in the end. He just watched the show.

"I also want to know who is the person behind the scenes." Xie Jinghong nodded and signaled Eunuch Gao to go down and bring people.

Xie Jingce looked at Jiang Wanyue carefully, as if he was thinking about something.

Fortunately, the people arranged for today's palace banquet were all recorded in a book, so it was not difficult to find them, and soon the palace maid was brought up.

Jiang Wanyue and the palace maid exchanged a glance, but it was the palace maid who looked around guiltily first.
