Before Lin Mengya arrived at the courtyard, she heard loud noises coming from inside.
It seemed that the Art Courtyard was very lively today.
At the entrance of the courtyard, there were two tall and sturdy old women. Therefore, although there were many people outside who wanted to see what was going on, they were all stopped.
"What are you doing here? Leave us."
Lin Mengya said calmly. Those who were waiting to see what was going on listened to her and pretended to leave.
But they knew very well that Lin Mengya's presence would not be so easily appeased.
In the courtyard of the Art Courtyard, there were many bustling people. Some of them were serving Concubine De, and there were also many unfamiliar faces. Lin Mengya was covered with jewels and jewelry, and she was very noble. Of course, these people knew that the person in front of them was the legendary Princess Yu.
And Lin Mengya's beautiful face also made these people feel a little stunned. They immediately understood why Prince Yu didn't like Jiang Ruqin.
It was like heaven and earth. Only a fool would let such a beautiful wife stay alone!
"Aunt, I didn't do that. I was framed. I didn't, I really didn't. "
In the main room, Jiang Ruqin was crying miserably. If she had not been caught in bed, people would really feel pity for her.
Unfortunately, this time, she would not be able to make a comeback.
"Shut up! Concubine De, I saw it with my own eyes. The servants I brought here, and the people in Spring Wind Pavilion, are all witnesses. Although our Cui Family is not as prominent as the Jiang Family, we will never tolerate this bitch who has ruined our family's reputation! "
A man's voice came out. Because of his anger, his breath was slightly unstable. But Lin Mengya could hear the determination in his voice.
It would be strange if they could tolerate this kind of thing.
Along the way, no one dared to stop Lin Mengya. When she entered the room, she saw Jiang Ruqin kneeling on the ground, sobbing, in disheveled clothes.
At that time, if she had not been so determined to climb up to Long Tianhao and stupid to be used by others, she would not have been so miserable. But now, how could she be so miserable?
She was the one who had done all this. You reap what you sow, and you can't blame others.
Concubine De sat on the main seat with a gloomy face. No one could tell what she was thinking. However, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. Presumably, he also thought that Jiang Ruqin was too disappointing.
"The Jiang family will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. However, one should not wash one's dirty linen in public. If this continued, it would be detrimental to the Cui family's reputation. Young Master Su, please go back for now. I will not side with Ruqin. "
Since Concubine De had spoken, the furious Childe Cui did not dare to act rashly.
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Mengya agreed with Concubine De. His family was a family of scholars. Although he and Jiang Ruqin hadn't married yet, there was no need to bring shame to the Cui Family because of her.
"Alright, since Concubine De has said so, I feel relieved. Although the Cui family is insignificant, my father is the current Imperial Censor. He values his reputation more than his life. Your Highness, please uphold justice and clear the Cui family's name. "
His words were neither servile nor overbearing. Lin Mengya could not help but look at the Childe Cui again. As for his face, although he was not the most handsome, he had an elegant temperament.
However, compared with the traditional scholars, he was not pedantic at all. He was a good man, but it was a pity that he had such an embarrassing fiancée, Jiang Ruqin.
"Alright, I will definitely give you an explanation. Yun Ruo, see the guest out. "
Concubine De did not hesitate at all. Anyway, Jiang Ruqin had completely disgraced her today. Moreover, the Cui Family was famous for being stubborn. She was afraid that this time it would be difficult to handle.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."
The Cui Family was straightforward, but in this way, Concubine De was in a difficult situation.
She decided to deal with Jiang Ruqin, who was Concubine De's niece. If she did not deal with her, the Cui Family would pursue the matter. It would not be a problem that could be solved in a few words.
Concubine De's face was gloomy. She looked at Jiang Ruqin with disappointment in her eyes. Unfortunately, there was no turning back now that things had come to this.
Inadvertently, she saw Lin Mengya standing at the door. Her heart sank. She knew Qin 'er's character very well. Although she, Su Di, was a little reckless and had done a lot of things that were out of line, she wouldn't dare to do something like publicly having an affair with a man outside even if she was given two more guts.
Could it be that she was behind this?
However, Lin Mengya's face was frowning, and there was no sign of gloating. As for the four maidservants beside her, except for Baizhi, who was innocent, the other three just lowered their heads.
If they were not so smart, they would not reveal any flaws. Otherwise, Lin Mengya really did not know anything.
"Mother, I have brought my maidservants to pay my respects to you. It's almost the end of the year. Is there anything that you need to add? "
Lin Mengya was very smart, and she had a good reason.
If she deliberately tried to get involved in Jiang Ruqin's affairs, people would think that she was up to no good. But now, she came to ask about what Concubine De needed. Firstly, she must have heard the news, and that was why she came to visit. Secondly, she did not mean to avoid arousing suspicion. Even if Concubine De wanted to suspect her, it would not be that easy.
As expected, after looking at her strangely, Concubine De picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and said,
"Guards, take this girl to the woodshed. Send someone to find this consort's family. Discuss how to deal with this girl! "
Obviously, Concubine De did not want Lin Mengya to watch the show for free.
But it did not matter. Anyway, Jiang Ruqin would be in trouble in the end. They lived under the same roof. Who could hide it from?
"No! No! Aunt, I'm innocent, I'm innocent! I didn't do it, I really didn't! "
Jiang Ruqin burst into tears, and her face was full of tear stains.
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that she would wake up in a prostitute's bed.
What was more unexpected was that she was caught by the Cui family in bed. Someone must have framed her for all of this!
She turned around and looked at Lin Mengya with hatred. Yes, it must be her! In the mansion, only she would do such a heartless thing, and only she would hate her so much!
"It's you! Lin Mengya, you must have framed me! You hate me because I scolded your brother! You hate me! Am I right? You must have done it! Tell me, tell me! "
Lin Mengya's sharp questioning came one after another, but she just shook her head calmly, and her eyes were full of pity.
"Jiang Ruqin, you're right. I admit that I hate you. But think about it, am I that kind of fool? You seduced the prince first, and then insulted my brother. These reasons are indeed enough for me to do that. But have you ever thought that if I really did it, I would choose to do it here? Mother, you're a sensible person. Yesterday, I just had a conflict with Jiang Ruqin, and today she met with such a thing. Obviously, everyone would suspect me. And I came running here. Could it be that I'm really that stupid? "
Lin Mengya's words woke Concubine De up. Concubine De looked at her and believed her words.
Concubine De could tell that Lin Mengya was an extremely intelligent woman from their previous encounters. It seemed that all the evidence pointed to her.
But it was too obvious. If Lin Mengya really did it, she would not have survived to this day. Was it deliberately done by someone with ulterior motives?
Lin Mengya paused and continued.
"Mother, you know that I have always attached great importance to Prince Yu's Mansion. But why did the affair between Jiang Ruqin and the prince spread like wildfire? If I did that, wouldn't I be a fool? Moreover, how could it be so coincidental that the young master of the Cui Family was caught red-handed in bed? Mother, I'm not the one who is most concerned about the marriage between the Jiang Family and the Cui Family. "
Lin Mengya didn't point it out, but Concubine De already understood.
The marriage between the Jiang Family and the Cui Family was more about the collusion of interests. It was just like how Lin Mengya had married Long Tianhao.
Could it be them? No, it was impossible!
"Lin Mengya, you're so eloquent! You must be the one who did this! You want to ruin me! You're afraid that as long as I'm in the mansion, my cousin won't belong to you so easily! It's all you! It's you! "
Jiang Ruqin's face was twisted, and she pointed at Lin Mengya with anger.
Now, her reputation had been ruined. Not to mention her aunt, even her father might not be able to protect her.
At that moment, she wanted to pounce on Lin Mengya and fight with her.
"Enough! How much longer do you want to make trouble!"
Concubine De threw the teacup in her hand on the table with a loud bang.
Jiang Ruqin looked at her aunt in a daze. No, she couldn't let herself be punished like this. She still had a bright future. She couldn't let it be ruined like this!
"Aunt, Qin 'er is your niece. If I'm ruined, won't you feel bad? This woman must be the one who did it. You just need to catch her and torture her. She will tell you the truth. At that time, you can prove Qin 'er's innocence, aunt! "
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart. Jiang Ruqin, Jiang Ruqin. The biggest tragedy of her life was not to fight with her. It was because she was too stupid, hopelessly stupid.
Even if someone came forward to clarify, outsiders would only think that it was a cover for the Jiang Family to protect their daughter.
The rumors about her would only get worse. They would even portray her as a slut who could be slept with by anyone.
Concubine De also thought of this, so she just shook her head with pity. This lass could not be saved at all.
