"Why, can't it?"

Su Manman felt a chill in her heart. "Your Highness, do you know that if I can't prove my innocence, these people will leave the house and rumors about me will spread throughout the capital in no time. How will I cope with it then?"

The morning glow shone on her face. Under her clear water-colored slim-waisted long skirt, her wheat-colored face had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a firm look flashed in her eyes.

Ye Zhi looked at the woman in front of him and was moved.

He wanted to give her a chance to prove her innocence.

The hateful trouble caused by Yan Baize not only implicated Bai Huanyi, but also the children of several officials who were close to him.

Once the investigation is thorough, the reputation of these girls will be damaged. When their names are known to the public, the officials will lose face and will definitely bear a grudge against him.

On the side of Marquis Yan, Prince Yan is the only son in the Marquis's family.

Yan Baize will definitely be severely punished for this incident. Lord Yan is eager to save his son, and no one knows what trouble he will cause.

There is no benefit in confronting the old man.

After much thought, it would be beneficial for everyone to keep silent about this matter.

Who would have thought that Bai Huanyi, who always acted cautiously, would actually refute his order in public.

In front of everyone, he mentioned again that Prince Yan walked out of Su Manman's house, bringing the matter to the attention of everyone again and asking him to prove it.

Ye Zhi glanced at Bai Huanyi with a cold look in his eyes, but the fierce pressure in his eyes made Bai Huanyi feel cold all over.

She was too eager to bring Su Manman down.

As long as he could lure Su Manman into confessing her secret meeting with the prince and ruin Su Manman's reputation, it would be worth it for her to be punished for disobeying His Highness once.

But what she didn't expect was that Su Manman insisted that she had never seen Master Yan, and that she was not in the house at all last night. She also threatened to confront Master Yan.

"Sister Bai..." Yun Linfang called softly from the crowd.

Bai Huanyi looked up and was stunned.

Last night, the girls following her were terrified all night long. Even after drinking the tranquilizing soup, they couldn't fall asleep.

Early this morning, they got up early and packed their things. Everyone was eager to leave the Princess's Mansion as soon as possible and forget the terrifying experiences of last night.

Unexpectedly, before everyone left, Bai Huanyi revealed what happened last night in front of them.

They looked at Bai Huanyi with complicated expressions, including shock, horror, and pleading... Some people even had fire in their eyes.

Yesterday, if Bai Huanyi had not suggested and invited them to go to Lanxiang Garden, who would have followed them to visit Su Manman, who had nothing to do with them.

If they don't go to Lanxiang Garden, those disasters will have nothing to do with them.

At this moment, they were like the group of onlookers at the gate of Lanxiang Garden, waiting with their necks stretched and happy in their hearts.

Now that the status has changed, who doesn’t have a trace of resentment in their heart?

Why did Bai Huanyi go to visit Su Manman?

Does she really care about Su Manman?

After a sleepless night, these girls had been thinking about all sorts of things and now they knew the truth.

Yesterday, there was a game in Lanxiang Garden.

They were pulled along to become witnesses.

But for some reason, the situation became chaotic. The absence of Su Manman and the madness of Master Yan broke the deadlock, and Su Manman, who was trapped, escaped.

It's a pity that these people who were pulled over to make up the numbers ended up becoming part of the game.

The little girls felt sad, regretful, annoyed and remorseful... but it was of no avail. Their eyelids turned blue and their intestines turned purple.

Following Bai Huanyi didn't bring any benefits to me, but instead brought me bad luck for the rest of my life.

If she couldn't justify herself now, they would fight her to the death.

She wants to marry His Royal Highness Prince Jin. Well, if the world knew that the Crown Prince dropped his pants while hugging her, would Prince Jin still be able to withstand the pressure and marry her as his principal wife?

If they can't marry into a good family, she can't expect to have an easy life either.

Such a threatening look fell on Bai Huanyi, and her always arrogant heart rose to her throat little by little.

She didn't understand these girls in the capital who were good at changing with the times.

If she ruined their good marriage, they would die with her.

Last night, that bastard Yan Baize hugged her and his pants fell off...

If they tell this to others, who knows what kind of stories the people in the capital will make up.

At that time, not only would she not be able to marry into Prince Jin's Mansion, she might even be forced to marry into Marquis Yan's Mansion.

She doesn't want to marry Yan Baize, that devil.

When she thought of that possibility, cold sweat suddenly ran up Bai Huanyi's back like a cold snake, and her face turned pale with fear.

"I...I..." She stuttered with fear. She was usually calm, but for a moment she didn't know how to save the situation.

Bai Huanyi was panicking, but in a flash, an idea came to her mind.

She glanced sideways and gave a wink to the nanny beside her.

"Plop!" The old lady knelt down on the ground with her strong body, and the burning ashes on the ground flew up, blinding people's eyes.

"It's all the old slave's fault."

The old nanny knocked her head against the ground repeatedly, and when she looked up again, her face was covered in dust. "It was because my eyes were dim and I saw it wrongly last night. I spoke nonsense and disturbed the young lady's ears, causing her to say it without realizing it."

As she spoke, she crawled to Su Manman and kowtowed several times.

Blood began to seep from his dark forehead. "Last night in Lanxiang Garden, my young lady never met Prince Yan. It was all my old servant's false accusations. My young lady was young and inexperienced, and I misled her. Please forgive me, Miss Su, and spare my life! Please spare my life!"

Her face was full of wrinkles, and the wrinkles around her eyes were filled with tears.

An old man with blurry eyes easily brushed the matter aside.

Su Manman sneered in her heart and was about to speak when Ye Zhi, who was standing beside her, stepped forward impatiently and kicked her, saying harshly, "Where did you come from, you crazy woman? You dare to make up rumors about anyone, you are going to kill yourself."

"Come here, drag him away and give him twenty strokes of the cane."

Even a strong young man couldn't withstand twenty blows of the stick, let alone an old lady.

This time, even if he doesn't die, he will lose half his life.

Two guards stepped forward and dragged the old lady out.

The old nanny was so frightened that her face turned pale and she kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Highness Prince Jin, please spare me. Miss Su, please spare me. Miss, please help me!"

"Ma..." Bai Huanyi called softly, pursed her lips, and fell silent.

The old nanny was her personal nanny who brought her up since she was a child. They had a very good relationship with each other, which is why they had such a tacit understanding with each other.

In the past, whenever she made mistakes, the nanny would often take the blame for her.

This is also a last resort.

"Ah ah ah..."

Outside the yard, the old nanny's screams were heard, one louder than the other, and finally died away.

Everyone's heart was like riding a roller coaster, going up and down, and they were scared to death.

"Last night, the wind blew over the candlesticks, and the candlelight ignited the curtains, causing a fire in the house." Ye Zhi said coldly, "Don't worry, ladies. The fire is out now, and everything is safe."

"In the back garden there is an early spring peony, a tribute from an exotic country. The flowers are in full bloom in the greenhouse, and they are truly beautiful. If you ladies like them, you may stay and admire the flowers. After lunch, you may return home."

Ye Zhi made the final decision, defining what happened last night as an accidental fire.

Everyone knew there was something hidden, and they tacitly agreed to this conclusion.

At this time, who would have the mood to stay and appreciate the flowers?
