Before the Fourth Princess came to her senses, Jiang Fenghua suddenly stared at her and smiled at her, "Why aren't you talking, Fourth Sister-in-law? Do you know Concubine Han?"

The Fourth Princess' palms were sweating. She said, "I have never seen Concubine Han. I don't know her."

Jiang Fenghua then asked the Second Princess: "Has the Second Princess met Consort Han?"

Zhao Yunhui said, "I have never seen her." Zhao Yunhui had indeed never seen Concubine Han, and she didn't even know there was such a person as Concubine Han. Her life had already become a mess since she married Xie Yu, so how could she care about the concubines in the harem? She no longer had the chance to marry the emperor.

Before Jiang Fenghua could speak, the Third Princess said, "I don't know him either."

The Third Princess might know about it, but she has never met him, and he is not an important person. He has nothing to do with her interests, so she will not ask about it. She will never get involved in matters that have nothing to do with her.

The Fourth Princess had never actually seen the real person, so she thought that no one would suspect her, and no one would suspect her. However, at this moment, Jiang Fenghua looked at her too sharply, as if he had expected it, and she felt guilty.

It was by chance that the Fourth Princess learned from the Bai family that a girl had entered the palace to become a queen and was named Concubine Han. Then she found out that Concubine Han had died suddenly. Jiang Fenghua was also missing at that time, so she connected the two together.

At this time, Zhao Jin and A Chong were also hiding in the crowd. They were also carefully distinguishing the voices. Although the voices around them were very noisy, A Chong still recognized a familiar voice. The person who met Madam Su at the beginning was the Fourth Princess.

He was sure he had heard correctly.

Here, Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai were dumbfounded when they saw that no one acknowledged that Bai Yuhan had ever been the emperor's concubine. This was something that their third brother had personally told the Bai family. How could it have become false now?

Could it be that Yu Han really had never been to the palace? They were happy for nothing.

Bai Yuhan said: "Uncle, Aunt, I'm fine, let's go home first. You misunderstood Lord Jiang and godmother. Thanks to godmother for saving me."

"But……"

"It's okay. I will go home and tell my parents what happened."

At this time, the prefect of Jiangzhou came with Bai Yuhan's parents.

Bai Yuhan was stunned, "Dad, Mom, why are you here? Aren't you in Jiangzhou?"

Mrs. Bai hugged her daughter and said, "You have been away from home for more than a year and have not returned home. We are worried about you. Your third uncle fell ill after returning home." In order to save the third uncle's illness, they demolished the temple built for their daughter, and the prefect announced to the public that everything was a misunderstanding. The Bai family's daughter did not enter the palace to be a queen, but just went out to do business.

Boss Bai was certainly not convinced, but the prefect personally came to the Bai family and asked them to demolish the temple. Although the Bai family was a wealthy businessmen, they were just ordinary people. How could the people dare to argue with the officials? Moreover, they also received news that their daughter was not in the palace at all. The Bai family’s dream of becoming an imperial concubine was instantly shattered. They still thought that their daughter had been a concubine in the palace.

Xiao Yu appeared with the Bai family. He gave Jiang Jinyan a wink, indicating that he would explain everything clearly when he went to Jiangzhou. He also brought Bai Yuhan's parents to Shengjing to clear up the misunderstanding.

Xiao Yu had been standing in the crowd just now. He was not wearing official uniform, but casual clothes and stood in the crowd quietly listening to the discussions of the people. It was obvious that these words were taught by someone, and the people just believed what they heard and did not know the truth. They just knew to agree.

Just like the Bai family, they only knew that their daughter had entered the palace from Mr. Bai Sanye, and they didn't know the specific news in Shengjing. They didn't even know that Bai Yuhan had left the palace a long time ago. Bai Yuhan's case was not originally such a big deal. It was because Mr. Bai Erye and Mrs. Bai Er, who were doing business in Shengjing City, were taken advantage of by others that they went to the imperial city to beat drums and appeal for justice.

Now that Bai Yuhan and the two elders of the Bai family have arrived, Jiang Jinyan asked Mr. Bai, "Excuse me, how can you two insist that Miss Bai is my mistress? And how can you think that Miss Bai was murdered by me?"

"We also heard from others that Yu Han has not returned. We are just merchants. If Yu Han was really harmed, we can't think of a way to save her. I heard that the emperor will celebrate the Lantern Festival with the people. If we come to file a complaint, the emperor will definitely make the decision for us. We can only attract attention when there are more people."

Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "Who told you that? Don't you know whether your niece is a concubine of someone else? Why do you have to make such a fuss?"

Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai were trembling with fear. "We forgot who told us that."

"Did you know that this is a capital crime for daring to come to the Imperial City and beat the drum to appeal for justice and falsely accuse court officials?"

The two men were so scared that they collapsed to the ground. They didn't know it was a capital crime!

Bai Yuhan said: "Second uncle, second aunt, tell me, who asked you to come to the imperial city to spread rumors."

Madam Bai Er suddenly looked in Shu Xue's direction and said, "It's all my fault. I heard it from Madam Li. I learned that Yu Han followed Lord Jiang. They also said that my niece went to be Lord Jiang's concubine. You didn't come back either. We were worried that something happened to you."

"Madam Bai, please explain clearly. Which Madam Li?" Jiang Fenghua asked again.

"That's Madam Li Shao, and the ladies who are on good terms with her." She pointed in the direction of Shu Xue.

Shu Xue looked evasive and said, "It was your niece who was not decent. She rode in the same car with Lord Jiang. We all saw it. Zhang Yumo also saw it with her own eyes. Madam Zhang, Madam Wang, and Miss Wang all saw it. What good girl would go in and out with a married man and act so ambiguous? The Jiang family said they would not take concubines, but they did not say they would not keep mistresses! With Lord Jiang's status and position, it is natural for Miss Bai to want to climb up the social ladder. Now that the matter has been exposed, no one dares to question that she is an adopted daughter. It's just that Yumo has seen with her own eyes that her husband is being ambiguous with another woman."

When Jiang Jinyan heard this, he looked at Zhang Yumo. He thought Zhang Yumo would not think so, but what she said a few days ago did make her angry. He explained: "Mo'er, it's not like what she said. Miss Bai and I are innocent. Mother was also in the car that day. We were going to Jishan Hall."

Zhang Yumo's cheeks flushed, and she was a little embarrassed. "I understand, and I'm not imagining things."

Jiang Jinyan knew she was lying.

"Even Madam Jiang knows about Lord Jiang and Miss Bai. Since we are going to Jishan Hall, why don't you take Yu Mo with you?" Shu Xue said sarcastically.

Feng Jingyuan walked up to Shu Xue and said, "Mrs. Li, you are making up stories to sow discord between couples. What is your intention?"

"I'm telling the truth. What ulterior motive could I have?" Shu Xue was not convinced. She often heard her mother-in-law cursing the Jiang family and Mrs. Jiang behind her back. Her husband Li Cheng was even engaged to Zhang Yumo, so she felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Fenghua glanced at Shu Xue and said, "Madam Bai, Master Bai, you must understand clearly. In the eyes of Madam Li, your daughter of the Bai family is so shameless. Is it Madam Li who deliberately slandered and framed her, or is Miss Bai really trying to climb up the social ladder as Madam Li said? This matter must be clarified in front of everyone and the people today, otherwise Miss Bai may bear the infamy."
