The beloved is reborn as a substitute, and the tyrant begs for forgiveness every night.

However, Xu Leyao is not an easy person to talk to.

She sighed softly, then pointed to Jiang Xiuxiu, who was standing behind the Third Prince with tears streaming down her face, her expression extremely complicated.

"Third Prince, that is what you say, but today I want to seek justice for my sister. My coming-of-age ceremony was disrupted, but my sister's innocence is gone."

At this point, Xu Leyao looked at Jiang Xiuxiu with a hint of pity.

Upon receiving that look from her, Jiang Xiuxiu immediately realized what was going on.

Before today, they had already imagined all the possible scenarios, so now it was Jiang Xiuxiu's turn to perform.

Jiang Xiuxiu said, crying.

"Sister, please don't blame the Third Prince. I believe he didn't do it on purpose. He was probably just tricked by someone else. My innocence is not important."

That's what they said, but Jiang Xiuxiu's behavior clearly showed that it wasn't unimportant.

When the Third Prince heard Jiang Xiuxiu's voice, a sense of helplessness flashed through his heart.

If Jiang Xiuxiu hadn't spoken up at that moment, perhaps her innocence could have been preserved.

Now that she had spoken, the Third Prince could no longer pretend he hadn't heard her.

However, he hasn't figured out how to handle this matter yet.

Having caused such a scene at Xu Leyao's banquet today, it seems the Jiang family will not let him off easily.

Furthermore, although Jiang Xiuxiu is not related to the Jiang family by blood, she was still raised in the Jiang family.

In this way, even if it's just for Jiang Xiuxiu's sake, they have to seek justice.

The Third Prince's original intention was to win over the Jiang family.

It's impossible to offend the Jiang family to death over this matter now.

He is now in a predicament where he can't back down.

He already had the Third Prince's principal wife, so he naturally couldn't openly marry Jiang Xiuxiu at this moment.

But if she were only to become a concubine, it would be a disservice to what she had done for her today.

At this moment, the Third Prince had already figured it out.

He felt that he had been tricked by his two older brothers, which was why he had acted so involuntarily when he came to Xu Leyao's banquet.

If it weren't for Jiang Xiuxiu disregarding her own innocence to cure him of the love poison, he would probably be dead by now.

With these thoughts in mind, and considering the past affection he had for her, the Third Prince looked at Jiang Xiuxiu with tender affection.

However, Jiang Xiuxiu acted as if she hadn't even noticed his look.

"Your Highness, everything was Xiuxiu's own choice. If anyone is to blame, it's Xiuxiu alone."

After saying this, Jiang Xiuxiu seemed to have made a decision, and then, without looking back, she crashed into the pillar next to her.

She really crashed into it hard, and her head instantly bled profusely.

Seeing this scene, Xu Leyao couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Although they had planned how to prevent Jiang Xiuxiu from losing her life, they appeared extremely sincere.

It seems that Jiang Xiuxiu can still be ruthless to herself.

If such a person is not her enemy, Xu Leyao would be happy to associate with her for a while.

Unfortunately, their identities destined them to be adversaries.

Xu Leyao pondered in her heart, then pretended to be startled.

"Xiuxiu!"

Upon hearing Xu Leyao's voice, everyone realized what Jiang Xiuxiu had done.

Now, no one doubted Jiang Xiuxiu anymore.

If Jiang Xiuxiu can't prove her innocence even in this way, then what other way is there to prove it?

Among them, the young ladies from prominent families couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow seeing Jiang Xiuxiu like this.

If they had lost their innocence due to human scheming, they would probably have had to die to prove it, just like Jiang Xiuxiu.

With this in mind, they began to unite and put pressure on the Third Prince.

A woman of higher status who was not afraid of the Third Prince spoke first.

"Your Highness, the actions of the Second Miss Jiang today should prove her innocence. In that case, wouldn't it be better to bring her into the manor? Why let a woman lose her life needlessly?"

Hearing her words, the others began to echo her sentiments.

Although not everyone agreed with what the woman said, the show was in full swing, and everyone wanted to add fuel to the fire.

Therefore, everyone started discussing it.

Every word he uttered was aimed at persuading the Third Prince to take Jiang Xiuxiu as a concubine.

The Third Prince looked at the scene before him, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

When he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely execute these people in the autumn.

The Third Prince took a deep breath, knowing that even if he ascended the throne, he would never do such a thing, but that didn't stop him from thinking about it.

"Please hear me out. Today I have indeed tarnished the reputation of the Second Miss Jiang, and I am willing to let her enter the manor. I wonder if the Second Miss Jiang is willing?"

Faced with the Third Prince's question, Jiang Xiuxiu naturally had no reason not to answer.

She nodded.

Seeing that Jiang Xiuxiu had agreed, the matter was considered settled. Next, the Third Prince and Jiang's parents would discuss it.

Of course, these matters that need to be discussed have nothing to do with bystanders.

Seeing that the excitement was over, the crowd dispersed.

Xu Leyao also had Shizhu take Jiang Xiuxiu back to the courtyard where she originally lived, and invited a doctor to examine her.

Jiang Xiuxiu's collision was truly ruthless.

Although she is still alive, she seems somewhat dazed and confused.

Her train of thought was no longer as sharp as before.

Xu Leyao never expected that their long-term scheme would end with Jiang Xiuxiu becoming an idiot.

But that’s fine too.

A hint of coldness flashed in Xu Leyao's eyes.

She had never forgotten what Jiang Xiuxiu had done to the original owner of this body.

Xu Leyao originally planned to wait until Jiang Xiuxiu entered the Third Prince's residence, squeeze out all her usefulness, and then let her fight with the other women in the Third Prince's residence.

Xu Leyao had already investigated this matter.

In order to win over the families behind those women, the third prince always married women of high status and took concubines.

Thus, those women naturally all possessed the ability to engage in power struggles within the household.

Putting someone like Jiang Xiuxiu among them is like a lamb entering a pack of wolves.

Jiang Xiuxiu will then have only herself to blame.

Although Jiang Xiuxiu was unaware of this, she was indeed the one who killed the original owner of this body.

Now that Jiang Xiuxiu has become like this, she naturally can't compete with the women in the Third Prince's residence.

In this way, Xu Leyao no longer needs to worry about what happens next.

However, she was still missing a pawn that had been planted in the Third Prince's residence.

Xu Leyao left Jiang Xiuxiu's courtyard.

It's unclear what kind of deal the Third Prince made with Jiang's parents, but in the end, they still welcomed Jiang Xiuxiu into the mansion.
