When the person came closer, Jiang Suining frowned, "What's going on?"

"My lady, I was waiting for you to come out by the carriage just now, but suddenly a child came to report that someone was looking for me. Not long after I left, I felt something was wrong. When I turned back, I saw this person sneaking out of the carriage from a distance, so I quickly chased after him. When he found out, he ran away immediately, but I still caught him."

Han Nian'an looked at the captured person, who was the one who secretly put the night pearl into Jiang Suining's carriage under his instructions. His face turned pale and his fingers clenched nervously.

"The truth is out now." Chu Jingyue snorted coldly, looking at Han Nian'an, "First the maid poured tea on me and framed me, then she lured the driver away and released the night pearl. It was really a good plan."

Cold sweat broke out on Han Nian'an's back, and he spoke while pretending to be calm.

"Princess Chu, I don't know what you mean by this. Are you suspecting that I am framing Miss Jiang?"

"The truth is already obvious, isn't it?" Chu Jingyue looked at Han Nian'an coldly.

"Of course not. I don't know this person at all. And even if he got into Miss Jiang's carriage, how can I prove that he was the one who put the Night Pearl there?"

“That’s right. I don’t know what a night pearl is. I just saw that the carriage was luxurious and was curious, so I went up to take a look.” The man spoke immediately, as if he was going to deny it until his death.

"So you're saying that you've never seen this night pearl, nor have you ever touched it?" Jiang Suining asked.

"Yes." The man nodded immediately.

"You're lying." Jiang Suining's eyes fell on the man's fingertips, which were stained with red. "The red on your fingertips should be red paint. I just found a little red paint on the night pearl. I was wondering where the red paint came from."

Jiang Suining shifted his gaze and looked towards the wall at the western corner of the mansion's gate.

"Now that I think about it, when I came here today, I happened to notice that the wall at the western corner of the mansion was painted red for some reason. And where my carriage was parked, it was a good opportunity to stand there and peek. I guess it got stuck on your hand by accident, and when the coachman left, you entered the carriage and secretly put the night pearl away, and it rubbed against the night pearl again."

"I..." The man was stunned and subconsciously looked at his fingers, which were indeed stained with red paint.

"It's also on the Night Pearl!" Someone among the guests said while looking at the Night Pearl.

"How do you want to deny it now?" Chu Jingyue looked at the man and spoke.

"I, I..." The man looked at Han Nian'an in panic.

The latter was extremely confused and absolutely could not let him confess himself in front of so many people.

Gritting his teeth, he quickly said to Qin: "Mother, it seems that this matter is really strange, but I really don't know why they want to frame Miss Jiang. Maybe they have a grudge before, why don't you take them back to the Marquis' Mansion and investigate them thoroughly to clear Miss Jiang's name, and also to prevent Princess Chu from misunderstanding me and affecting the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion."

"I'm afraid what Aunt Han said is inappropriate." Jiang Suining said in a gloomy tone, "This person is different from the maids in the Marquis' Mansion. Her origins are strange. She got on my Jiang family's carriage and was caught by my Jiang family's coachman. If it is true as you said, she may have had a grudge with me at some point and deliberately took revenge. She should not be handed over to the Marquis' Mansion for trial."

"But the night..."

"Even the night-shining pearl that he framed, it seems that there is no way to be completely sure that it was the moment when Aunt Han lost it. After all, there are similarities in this world, and there is nothing strange about it."

Jiang Suining interrupted Han Nian'an and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"So, I will trouble you to interrogate me slowly, but I want to send this man to the authorities!"

The words "see the official" suddenly hit Han Nian'an's heart. The words she had just used to threaten Jiang Suining fell on her in the blink of an eye.

She looked at Qin hurriedly, "Mother..."

"Shut up, don't call me mother. You are just a concubine. It's so rude of you to call me mother all the time. Who do you think you are!" Qin's heart was filled with rage, and she wished she could beat Han Nian'an to death.

Now he was shamelessly trying to ask her for help, but Jiang Suining's words were well-founded. The man was caught by the Jiang family, and there was currently no evidence to show that he was related to the Marquis' Mansion. In front of so many people, the Marquis' Mansion naturally had no reason to forcibly detain the man for interrogation.

only……

"Miss Jiang, why don't you give me a favor and hand the person over to the Marquis' Mansion for disposal? Don't worry, no matter whether it's these two people or the person behind the scenes..." Qin glanced at Han Nian'an, "I will never let them off easily!"

If it wasn't related to the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, she really wanted to expose the fool Han Nian'an immediately and let him have nothing to do with her life or death.

By now, everyone has already understood the whole story and Qin's thoughts.

Thinking that she is the wife of the Marquis after all, and since she has already asked this, Jiang Suining should agree.

However, Jiang Suining bowed again and shook his head.

"Please forgive me, madam. I have no objection to letting you interrogate me. But from what my coachman said just now, this man is really scheming. If he really wants to make a grudge against me, he may have other tricks up his sleeve."

"Miss Jiang, my wife..."

"If the gift had not been so perfect, and if the driver had not been alert, I'm afraid Sui Ning would have been speechless. Sui Ning came here to congratulate sincerely, but he never thought that this would happen. I have no intention of disobeying you, madam, but I hope you will understand my fear. If you don't hand him over to the government, I will not be able to rest easy."

The victim had already said so much, so Qin naturally couldn't continue to persuade him and just stood there with a grim look on her face.

Even if this matter needs to be made public, it must not be reported to the government. Once the person is brought before the officials, the private matter will become a public case, and there will be no room for turning back.

Thinking of this, she looked at the man coldly, "Why don't you tell the truth!"

Han Nian'an's heart trembled with fear. Could it be that Qin was planning to ignore her?

She immediately looked at the man, using her eyes to warn and threaten him not to speak.

The man became more and more panicked, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and he was filled with regret in his heart.

Jiang Suining looked at him and smiled gently, "It's okay if you don't want to confess here. When you go to court and are punished, you will naturally have to confess. But if this matter was done by you, it's fine to be beaten and punished. If it was instructed by someone else, you have to think about whether the person you are defending is really worthy of your protection."

As soon as these words came out, the already shaken man could no longer hold back.

"Confess, I confess everything!" The man broke free with one hand and pointed at Han Nian'an, saying, "It was her. I was doing everything according to her instructions. She also gave me the Night Pearl. I'm just a paid minion. This has nothing to do with me!"
