Chapter 766: Evil people have their own trials and tribulations (2)
Jiang Shuyan's face changed again and again after hearing so many words. She suddenly raised her head, looked at Xiao Yining, and reminded her, "Princess Le'an, you should let me get up."
Xiao Yining pretended to be confused: "Didn't Miss Jiang kneel down and beg me to save her? If you get up, does that mean you won't save her?"
Jiang Shuyan had no choice but to turn to Wang Cheng and said, "Master Wang, I do want to ask Princess Le'an to save my maid, but can you let me get up first and go inside to talk in detail? Making a family member of an official kneel all the time, how is this different from bullying me?"
Unfortunately, Wang Cheng was not moved at all and replied coldly: "Miss Jiang, my niece is a duke, and you are just the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. How can you be insulted by kneeling down to reply?"
Then, he changed the subject, his words gradually becoming more severe: "And you, coming here without a letter is already rude, my niece condescended to meet you, but you gave her orders, this is disrespectful. Now I have to listen to your detailed explanation because of an insignificant maid, it is clear that you are taking advantage of my niece's young age and ignorance."
Hearing these accusations, Jiang Shuyan's face became even uglier. He stood up from the ground again and said unhappily, "Master Wang, stop talking nonsense."
However, the crowd around him had been aroused by Wang Cheng's words and they all agreed.
"That's right, Princess Le'an is still a princess even if she is young. How can she come forward because of a maid she doesn't know? This is too beneath her status."
"It is said that a servant is like his master. This maid was captured by Jingzhao Yin, perhaps because she was disrespectful."
"Not bad!"
"A daughter of a Shangshu family would go to so much trouble for a maid. There must be some unspeakable secret. I'm afraid she might let it slip."
"That's right. The Jingzhao Yinfu is not far from here. Send someone who can walk quickly to ask why and then tell us."
"As the saying goes, there must be something fishy when things are out of the ordinary. This Shangshu is asking for a huge sum of money and is still being aggressive. There must be something fishy going on here!"
"..."
Numerous speculations once again besieged Jiang Shuyan, making her suddenly lose her composure. She glared at Wang Cheng who had put her in such a situation, and endured the humiliation.
She took a deep breath, bowed to Xiao Yining and apologized, "Princess, I was too rash just now. It was only because I was eager to save people that I made mistakes in my words and actions. Please don't take it seriously!"
Xiao Yining secretly rolled her eyes, turned around, and gave the right to speak to the old man.
Wang Cheng also smiled meaningfully, his eyes falling on the place not far behind her, "Since Miss Jiang is so eager to save people, you can tell Lord Jingzhao Yin if you have anything to say, and don't embarrass my niece."
Jiang Shuyan's heart shuddered, and she immediately had a strong ominous premonition. She quickly followed his gaze and saw a team of detectives running towards them quickly. The leader was none other than Zhang Bufan, the Jingzhao Yin, who was desperately holding on to his black gauze hat.
Zhang Bufan looked at the Lin family who was surrounded by countless spectators and groaned in his heart.
Before the person arrived, he shouted to Jiang Shuyan: "Miss Jiang, your marriage was arranged by the Minister of Personnel. It is useless for you to come to ask Princess Le'an for help. You should go back home quickly!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar again, and they all looked at the woman in disbelief.
Jiang Shuyan's face also lost all its color and turned pale in an instant. She glanced at the reactions of everyone in panic and inevitably saw a hint of contempt on their faces.
Zhang Bufan, who was completely unaware of the situation, squeezed through the crowd of people, came to her, and continued to persuade her earnestly: "Miss Jiang, please think about it. Marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. The Minister of Personnel hurriedly arranged a marriage for you because he was also concerned about your reputation."
"Just now your maid has already told you that since you don't want to get married, she should be sent to the girls' school to look for Princess Le'an. Now you are here to look for Princess Le'an's mansion for this matter. If the censor knows about this, he will inevitably accuse you of being disobedient and unfilial. Even the Minister of Personnel will be implicated by you. Go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, an uncontrollable chuckle came into his ears.
Wang Cheng shook his head helplessly and reminded in a gentle voice: "Master Zhang, you misunderstood Miss Jiang. She came here to plead for the maid. It's not what you said that she didn't want to marry and found my niece."
Xiao Yining also turned his head at this moment, and solemnly emphasized: "Master Zhang, Miss Jiang came here to ask me to save her!"
张卜凡：=?0?1?0?1?0?0?0?0(?6?7?4?0?6?7?6?4?0?1?0?3?0?3)完啦，心太急，出大纰漏了！
He hurriedly looked at Jiang Shuyan, only to see that she was shaky and could no longer stand. He quickly ordered his subordinates, "Hurry up and send Miss Jiang to the carriage and send her back to the Shangshu Mansion!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed to Xiao Yining (actually the crowd who were watching the show) and explained, "Princess Le'an, this morning the female students sent someone to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. According to the regulations, I need to interrogate him in detail and then send someone to deliver a letter to this person's mansion for routine questioning."
"But when Miss Jiang's maid arrived at Jingzhao Yin's mansion, she cried out that she was wronged and said that her young lady didn't want to get married. She also said that she had this marriage because of Princess Le'an, and she wanted you to cancel the marriage. So when I heard that Miss Jiang came to find you, I rushed over without stopping to stop her ridiculous behavior."
In just a few words, he explained the whole story clearly, and everyone present showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
Xiao Yining looked confused, looked at Zhang Bufan, and emphasized again: "Master Zhang, I am not a matchmaker!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone among the onlookers kindly reminded him.
"Princess, Miss Jiang wanted to discuss the matter of breaking off the engagement with you, not to save a maid!"
"No wonder Miss Jiang is so persistent, it turns out she doesn't want to get married!"
"If you don't want to get married, just cut off your hair and become a nun. Miss Jiang has broken off several engagements. She doesn't want to do this or that. Who does she want to marry?"
"..."
Everyone was talking about it, and someone told her something that touched Jiang Shuyan's nerves. She suddenly yelled, pushed away the hand that was trying to support her, and rushed towards the Lin family's door.
This sudden change startled everyone present.
Zhang Bufan was startled and rushed towards her, trying to stop her impulsive behavior, but Jiang Shuyan was moving so fast that it was too late to stop her.
At this critical moment, a man suddenly rushed out from the Lin family's gate, stood in front of Jiang Shuyan in time, cried out in pain, and hugged him.
This scene made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Little Yining hugged her uncle's neck in fear, "Uncle, this Miss Jiang is really upset!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Cheng sneered indifferently: "Sister Qing didn't realize that Miss Jiang is closest to your uncle. Your uncle can stop her as long as he reaches out his hand."
Xiao Yining realized it later: ⊙_⊙, it’s true!
