The princess quickly ordered people to search Dujuan's body, and sure enough, they found the empty bottle of red crested amaranth hidden in her sleeve.
Zhan Yan said coldly: "It turns out that Princess Xinya is the thief crying thief, you are the real culprit behind all this!"
A trace of panic suddenly flashed in Princess Xinya's eyes. She didn't expect that the slave girl was so stupid. She did all the bad things and even left the bottle of poison on her body!
So stupid!
Without hesitation, she rushed over and kicked Dujuan to the ground.
She gritted her teeth and angrily scolded: "Whose instructions did you receive to dare to do such a vicious and evil thing?"
Dujuan immediately understood what she meant. She was trying to divert the blame.
In desperation, she could only identify the culprit.
She quickly replied, "It was Miss Su. She was angry at the Marquis because she couldn't marry into the Lin family. That's why she forced me to poison Xiaobao and slander the Marquis!"
Su Zining, who had just been helped over by someone, almost fell headfirst to the ground. It was such a huge blame that she couldn't bear it!
She fell to her knees with a thud, practically rolling and crawling to the princess's feet to argue: "I am innocent, please investigate!"
Princess Xinya spoke with tears in her eyes, "Su Zining, I treated you as a good sister, but you secretly encouraged my maid to do such evil things. Don't you want to stay in the capital?"
Just one sentence reminded Su Zining that, yes, if she didn't take the blame, she would never be able to step into the circle of wealthy ladies again.
She already had a bad reputation, so this could be added to it.
Besides, Xiaobao is fine too. The princess is such a kind and generous person that she will definitely let him off easily.
What’s more important is that she can’t afford to offend Princess Xinya at all!
She is a member of the royal family. Not to mention how much King Zhongyong dotes on her, even the current emperor is very indulgent towards her.
As long as she can make the list, why worry about not being able to walk around the circle of noble ladies in the future?
After figuring this out, she changed her words and said, "Princess, please spare my life. I just hold a grudge against Lin Yiwan, and that's why I was blinded by greed. Please, for the sake of destroying Qingbai in your house, forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again!"
Lin Yiwan was about to applaud Su Zining. She was indeed smart and knew how to act pitifully to seek forgiveness from the eldest princess.
Sure enough, a complex struggle flashed across the eldest princess's face.
She angrily scolded: "Do you know that if you do something like this, I will beat you to death!"
Su Zining kowtowed and apologized: "Yes, I was wrong, but I have also received retribution. My reputation in the Princess's Mansion has been ruined!"
The eldest princess interrupted without hesitation: "Shut up! Never set foot in the Princess's Mansion again, or I'll chop off both of your legs!"
Su Zining sobbed sadly: "This servant has taken note of this. Thank you, Princess, for sparing my life!"
Just when Princess Xinya thought she could escape punishment, Zhan Yan spoke coldly, "I'm a little confused. Why is Miss Su able to order Her Highness the Princess around? Or do you two have some shameful plans?"
Lin Yiwan immediately added, "My husband is right. I find it very strange too. If you didn't know, you would think Du Juan was Su Zining's maid!"
Princess Xinya wished she could find a hole to crawl into, and cursed Lin Yiwan in her heart. Couldn't she just shut up?
Meeting the eldest princess's suspicious gaze, she hurriedly explained, "Aunt, I ordered Du Juan to deliver gifts to Miss Su a few times before, so they are quite familiar with each other. She was bribed, and Xinya really didn't know!"
The princess said sullenly, "You can't wrongly accuse Madam Yan just now. You must apologize to her immediately!"
Zhan Yan immediately spoke up: "The reputation of our mansion cannot be restored by just talking!"
Princess Xinya could only suppress her anger and ask, "How does the Marquis intend to resolve this matter?"
Zhan Yihou replied slowly, "You have wronged Wanwan. Either go to the government and apologize, or kneel down in front of everyone and kowtow to her and apologize, loudly saying you were wrong!"
Princess Xinya was so shocked that her whole body trembled. She didn't want to choose either of these two options!
Who the hell is Lin Yiwan? Is she worthy of me kowtow to her and apologize?
Even though she is now Madam Yan, she is still a loyal dog of the royal family.
Don't even think about asking her to kneel down and apologize, she will never agree!
She refused without hesitation: "Zhan Yihou, please don't go too far. I kneel to the heavens, the earth, and the emperor, but not to Lin Yiwan. I am the princess of the royal family. You ask me to kowtow to her and apologize. Aren't you afraid of shortening her life?"
Zhan Yan frowned and asked, "Does this mean I have reason to believe that Princess Xinya feels that she is innocent of the slander?"
Princess Xinya puffed out her chest proudly and said, "That's right, ignorance is not a crime, so Marquis Zhan Yi should be more lenient and generous. Don't dwell on such a small matter and damage your reputation. That would be more harm than good!"
Zhan Yan sarcastically said, "I saw Princess Xinya entering and leaving Nanfeng Pavilion yesterday. Can you also tell everyone about it?"
As soon as the words fell, it was like a huge rock suddenly smashing into the lake, instantly making the atmosphere on the scene turbulent.
The ladies all stared in shock. What? Princess Xinya actually went to Nanfeng Pavilion?
There are all these handsome young men in there who use their looks to attract other people!
Is she so unrestrained?
You used to scold others harshly, but you have experienced it yourself a long time ago.
Now pretending to be pure again is a bit shameless!
All kinds of unpleasant discussions hit Princess Xinya's ears, making her face turn ashen and ugly with anger.
She angrily retorted: "Don't try to slander me. I, I have never been to Nanfeng Pavilion!"
Zhan Yan spoke calmly, "My Lady, you are not guilty of slander. I am simply returning the favor!"
"You!" Princess Xinya gnashed her teeth in anger, wishing she could go up and tear Zhan Yan to pieces.
But she was just thinking about it in her mind. After all, she couldn't do it!
Because her father once told her that Zhan Yan was the living devil, and she should not provoke him when she saw him, otherwise, with his skills, he would definitely tear a layer of skin off her body.
She originally wanted to deal with Lin Yiwan, but she didn't expect that Zhan Yan would protect her like this.
This really shocked her!
The eldest princess said with disgust: "Xinya, your knees are not that precious. Precisely because you are a child of the royal family, you should set an example. Kneel down and apologize to Madam Yan immediately. Even if your father were here today, he would make the same decision!"
Princess Xinya's face was filled with humiliation, and she thought to herself, my father would never do that!
He can only break that bitch Lin Yiwan's neck!
Is she worthy of kneeling?
She is the baby that her father holds in his heart!
Only the eldest princess would be partial and help that bitch.
