Ning Shu's voice was steady and firm, like lustrous pearls that landed on a jade plate, lightly knocking on everyone's hearts.
Immediately, all the discussions quieted down. Even Wei Zecheng was speechless, not knowing how to refute. Everyone had different expressions. Xiao Yunyi was sad and happy. The girl he liked was indeed extraordinary. The Seventh Prince became even more excited, while the Thirteenth Princess had an awkward look on her face, saying, "What are you showing off for?" Only Ning Deyuan and He Xin's joy was simple and straightforward.
On the side, Ning Wan, who had been watching quietly, suddenly gasped, a terrified expression on her face. She shook her head at Ning Shu and said, "Elder Sister, I don't know anything!"
Ning Wan blurted out and hurriedly covered her mouth in fear, but everyone's eyes were already on her. The crowd that had just quieted down was in an uproar again, even livelier than before.
Ning Shu turned back and looked at her quietly. Her eyes were cold and she laughed in her heart.
So the ghost beside me was you.
Before, she only thought that Ning Wan's little tricks behind her back were just her younger daughter crying out of jealousy and did not really bear a grudge. She was reborn this time to protect the mansion, but she did not think that she would be stabbed by someone in the mansion.
Wei Zecheng immediately went in front of Ning Wan and encouraged her, "Second Miss Ning, please tell us everything you know. With His Majesty's protection, are you still afraid of her?"
Ning Wan still covered her mouth and did not speak. Her eyes were filled with fear and her eyes were red, looking like tears were about to fall.
Wei Zecheng added, "If you don't say it, are you going to let her continue to harm people in the future?"
If he had only come to carry out the Emperor's orders at the beginning, he had fallen into bigotry now. He was the capital's magistrate and had been an official for twenty years. How many major cases had he solved? Who would have thought that he would be defeated by a teenage girl in front of everyone today? If Ning Shu was really able to get away with it, then he, Wei Zecheng, would lose his face in front of the Duke's mansion today!
Ning Wan bit her lips hard. She struggled for a long time before she was convinced. She slowly took a deep breath and muttered, "Three … three nights ago, I was about to go to sleep, but I suddenly remembered that Da Jiejie's marriage had been bumpy again and again. She must be feeling uncomfortable and unable to sleep, so I hesitated again and again before going to her room to accompany her and help her relieve the depression in her heart. However, when I arrived at her room, I discovered that there was no one inside. Eldest Sister had left at some point. I was afraid that she would take things too hard, so I hurried to ask the servant girl in her courtyard. The maidservants all said they didn't know, until they found an old woman who was patrolling at night. According to the woman, she seemed to have seen her elder sister quietly change her clothes and leave through the small door. As she walked out, she vaguely said something along the lines of, "It's all Young Master Yun's fault for ruining her reputation. I must make him pay with his life …" When I heard that, I was horrified and hurriedly begged the woman not to publicize it … Because of this, I could not sit still for the past few days. I didn't expect the woman to be so timid and still say it … Originally, for the sake of Da Jiejie, I would never say it, but if someone else were to be harmed, I would really die of shame … Please don't hold a grudge against me, Da Jiejie! "
As she spoke, Ning Wan's tears fell. She bent her knees and was about to kneel in front of Ning Shu to beg for forgiveness, but she was stopped by the people around her.
Wei Zecheng laughed loudly and was extremely carefree, "If Wang Erniang's words are not convincing, then the Second Miss of the Ning Residence has come out personally to prove that Ning Shu really wasn't in the residence three nights ago! Then, where did she go? Who can prove it? If she can't prove her innocence, then the incident at the Residence of Yun is her doing! There's no denying it! Lady Ning, what else do you have to say? "
