Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

Just as everyone was gathering around Ziwei, Erkang and Dong'er, discussing Su Jinyao's true identity, Su Jinyao herself arrived at the market. She had come to see if her new plot had worked, but she had not expected to see her evil deeds exposed in public.

Su Jinyao's face flushed red instantly. She angrily pushed through the crowd, rushed to the table, pointed at Ziwei and others and shouted: "Why are you slandering me here! You made all this up, it's too much!"

Ziwei frowned and replied coldly: "Su Jinyao, open your eyes and take a good look! The evidence is clearly laid out here, and everyone is watching. Who is slandering you? You still want to quibble!"

Su Jinyao stared at the evidence, feeling a little nervous, but she remained firm: "Humph! What does this prove? You might have forged it! You want to discredit me like this? No way!"

Erkang was furious when he heard this and shouted, "Su Jinyao, you really won't cry until you see the coffin! We have carefully investigated all this evidence, there is no such thing as forgery! You have done so many immoral things yourself, and now you want to bite back, do you have any shame?"

Su Jinyao's face turned red and white at Erkang's words. She shouted angrily, "Erkang, don't think you are so great! Aren't you just showing off here because your family has some power? What qualifications do you have to judge me!"

Erkang was so angry that he was shaking all over. He raised his voice and said, "Su Jinyao, what nonsense are you talking about! I judge you because of the bad things you did. What does it have to do with power? Stop making trouble here and admit your evil deeds!"

Ziwei couldn't help it and said angrily: "Su Jinyao, stop struggling! Do you think you can deceive everyone forever? Your true face should have been exposed long ago! Look at you, you are always thinking about calculating others, people like you shouldn't be here to embarrass yourself!"

Su Jinyao pointed the finger at Nan'er and said viciously: "Humph! You guys are so protective of Nan'er, what's so good about her? Isn't she just a little girl living in Prince Rong's mansion? You really think you are a royal daughter!"

At this time, someone in the crowd couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "How dare you slander the princess? She is the granddaughter of the emperor and has a noble status. You are just the daughter of a small official, and you dare to be so presumptuous!"

When Su Jinyao heard this, her heart skipped a beat, but she still said stubbornly, "What princess? I don't believe it! If she was a princess, how could she be with Dong'er? You must have made it up to scare me!"

Ziwei was so angry that her eyes widened and she refuted loudly: "Su Jinyao, you are so ignorant and arrogant! Nan'er is a genuine princess. She calls me the emperor's aunt and Erkang uncle. How can her identity be fake? Do you think you can get away with it by slandering her casually? Don't you think about yourself?"

Erkang also snorted coldly and said, "Su Jinyao, you are so vicious that you think everyone else is the same as you. How can you question Nan'er's identity! If you dare to talk nonsense again, watch out for your head!"

Su Jinyao shrank her neck in fear, but still muttered unwillingly: "Even if she is a princess, so what? Didn't she steal my brother Dong'er? Brother Dong'er and I are the ones who truly love each other. If she hadn't interfered, Brother Dong'er would have been with me a long time ago!"

Ziwei couldn't help but raise her voice after hearing this: "Su Jinyao, you are really good at confusing right and wrong! It was you who used all means to destroy the relationship between Dong'er and Nan'er, and now you still have the nerve to say such things! You don't deserve to be with Dong'er at all!"

Erkang also said, "That's right! Dong'er and Nan'er really love each other. They are a perfect match made in heaven. You vicious woman, stop daydreaming!"

Su Jinyao was so angry that she was shaking all over. She shouted at Ziwei and Erkang, "Shut up! What right do you have to say that to me? I have paid so much for Brother Dong'er, can't you see it?"

Ziwei frowned and retorted: "What did you pay for? Is it all those calculations and conspiracies? Do you love Dong'er? You clearly just want to possess him and satisfy your own selfish desires!"

Erkang also said angrily: "Su Jinyao, your so-called dedication is to put Dong'er in trouble and let him be misunderstood? Is this love? It's simply harm!"

Su Jinyao was speechless. She was stunned for a while, then suddenly started crying again, crying and saying, "You all bully me! I know my family background is not as good as Nan'er's, but I really like Brother Dong'er! Why do you treat me like this?"

Ziwei looked at her, sighed helplessly, and said: "Su Jinyao, if you really like Dong'er, you should bless him and Nan'er instead of trying every means to destroy them. If you do this now, it will only make everyone look down on you even more!"

Erkang also said: "Yes, if you still have a conscience, stop it immediately and stop doing those despicable things!"

Su Jinyao wiped her tears, glared at Ziwei and Erkang fiercely, and said, "Don't be complacent! I won't let it go like this!"

After saying that, she turned and ran away.

Everyone looked at her leaving back and shook their heads and sighed.

Ziwei looked at Dong'er and said, "Don't take her words too seriously. She is just a unreasonable person. Everyone has seen her true colors and will not believe her words."

Dong'er nodded and said, "Mother, I know. I only care about Nan'er. As long as Nan'er believes in me, I'm not afraid of anything."

Erkang patted Dong'er on the shoulder and said, "Well, Dong'er, you did the right thing. Now that we have revealed her true face, she can't cause any big trouble. However, we can't let our guard down and we still have to be careful of her."

Dong'er replied, "Father, I understand. I just hope that this matter can be resolved quickly so that I can bring Nan'er back."

Ziwei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dong'er, this matter will eventually be resolved. Let's go home first, and wait for a few days, and then we can bring Nan'er back when the time is right, so that you can be reunited."

So, Erkang, Ziwei and Dong'er packed up their things, left the market with great satisfaction and headed towards home.

Su Jinyao's new conspiracy

After Su Jinyao ran back home, she became angrier and angrier. She paced back and forth in the room, muttering, "Ziwei, Erkang, do you think you can make me surrender like this? I will make you pay the price!"

After thinking about it, she came up with a new plot. She decided to write an anonymous letter to the emperor, slandering Nan'er and Dong'er for their improper behavior, saying that they violated ethics and morality, and being together was a blasphemy against the royal family. She thought that as long as the emperor saw this letter, he would be furious, and then Nan'er and Dong'er would be in big trouble, and she could take the opportunity to snatch Dong'er back.

After Su Jinyao finished writing the letter, she found a reliable person and asked him to secretly deliver the letter to the palace.

In the palace, the emperor frowned after receiving the letter.

"Is what is written in the letter true? How could Nan'er and Dong'er do such a thing?" The emperor asked the eunuch beside him with some confusion.

The eunuch said quickly, "Your Majesty, the source of this letter is unknown. Maybe someone deliberately slandered it. Please don't believe it easily!"

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. However, we cannot just let this matter go. We need to send someone to investigate."

So the emperor sent several trusted ministers to investigate the affairs of Nan'er and Dong'er.

Crisis is coming

Erkang, Ziwei and Dong'er don't know that a new crisis is about to come. They are happily preparing to welcome Nan'er back.

A few days later, those trusted ministers came to Erkang's home.

"Greetings, Princess. Greetings, Lord. Greetings, Young Master." The ministers bowed respectfully.

Ziwei asked in confusion, "Dear ministers, why are you here today?"

A minister stood up and said, "Princess, we are here on the orders of the Emperor to investigate some things about you, the Young Master, and Princess Nan'er. Someone wrote an anonymous letter saying some bad things, and the Emperor asked us to verify the situation."

When Ziwei heard this, her eyes widened and she said in surprise, "What? Someone wrote an anonymous letter to slander us? Who is so bold?"

Erkang also said angrily: "It must have been done by that vicious woman Su Jinyao! Her last plot was exposed, and now she has come up with this trick to frame us!"

Dong'er said anxiously: "What should we do? We clearly didn't do anything, but we are being investigated. If this gets out, it will be bad for Nan'er's reputation!"

Ziwei calmed down and said, "My dear ministers, we are all innocent. Someone must have deliberately framed us. You can investigate. We have nothing to fear. However, I hope you can give us justice as soon as possible and don't let this unprovoked disaster affect our lives."

The ministers nodded and said, "Princess, don't worry. We will investigate this matter impartially and will definitely give you justice."

So the ministers began to investigate. They first asked Erkang, Ziwei and Dong'er some questions, then asked the neighbors and servants around, and also checked some relevant evidence.

After a careful investigation, the ministers found that there was no such thing as Nan'er and Dong'er doing anything wrong, and it was a complete lie fabricated by someone maliciously.

A minister returned to the palace and reported the results of the investigation to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, we have investigated it clearly. Everything in the letter is false. Someone maliciously fabricated it to slander Princess Nan'er and Master Dong'er." The minister said respectfully.

The emperor frowned and said, "Humph! How dare someone do such a thing under my nose? How presumptuous! Do you know who did it?"

The minister said, "Your Majesty, although there is no conclusive evidence to prove who did it, we speculate that it was most likely done by a woman named Su Jinyao. She had some entanglements with Master Dong'er before, and she also used improper means to try to destroy the relationship between Master Dong'er and Princess Nan'er."

After hearing this, the emperor said angrily: "This Su Jinyao is so bold! How dare she slander the royal family? Does she want to die?"

The emperor immediately gave an order to capture Su Jinyao and interrogate her personally.

Su Jinyao's End

Su Jinyao was dreaming at home, thinking that once the emperor punished Nan'er and Dong'er, she would be able to snatch Dong'er back. However, she didn't expect that a group of soldiers suddenly came and took her away.

"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? I am innocent!" Su Jinyao shouted in horror.

The officers and soldiers ignored her cries and took her directly to the palace.

In the palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking majestically at Su Jinyao who was brought in.

"Su Jinyao, do you admit your guilt?" the emperor shouted.

Su Jinyao was so frightened that her legs went limp. She fell to her knees and trembled as she said, "Your Majesty, I...I don't know what crime I have committed!"

The emperor threw the anonymous letter in front of her and said, "Look at this letter. You wrote it, didn't you? How dare you slander Nan'er and Dong'er? You are blaspheming the royal family. You are so bold!"

Su Jinyao picked up the letter, took a look at it, and thought to herself that something was wrong, but she still argued, "Your Majesty, this... this was not written by me! Someone must have framed me and wanted to kill me!"

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "How dare you quibble! I have already sent people to investigate. You and Dong'er have had a dispute before, and you have done many bad things. If this letter was not written by you, who else could it be?"
