Chapter 637 Li Jingyue Testifies

The young ladies who were beaten also had elders present. They immediately looked angrily at Yu Zhenhuan and questioned her loudly, "Miss Yu, shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?"

"That's right! Although our Lin family can't compare to your Yongning Marquis's mansion, we're not pushovers!"

"If Miss Yu doesn't give us a satisfactory answer today, we will never let this go to the Yongning Marquis's mansion!"

The ladies glared angrily at Lady Yongning and Yu Huanzhen and her daughter, waiting for an explanation.

Just then, Madam Wen suddenly spoke up: "Please calm down, everyone! There must be some misunderstanding here. Let's hear what Miss Yu has to say."

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Madam Wen's eldest granddaughter is the real victim, so why doesn't Madam Wen help her granddaughter seek justice, but instead seems to be helping Miss Yu get away with it?

Lady Yongning also gave Lady Wen a deep look.

Qiao Qinghe sat to the side as if she were detached from the matter, but her mind never stopped racing.

Madam Wen's behavior clearly indicated her intention to win over the Yongning Marquis's mansion.

That's right. It's perfectly reasonable for the two families to unite through the marriage between the King of Chu and Huan Zhen.

After all, the marriage of the King of Chu was arranged before the Crown Prince's rebellion, and it was personally arranged by the Emperor.

Since the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion has chosen to unite with the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, it is even more imperative that it no longer has any involvement with the Enping Marquis's Mansion.

Otherwise, if the three powerful military commanders joined forces, it would be a miracle if Emperor Xiaozhao could still sit securely on the throne!

Unfortunately, the eldest daughter of the Yongchang Marquis's family either admires her cousin, the Prince of Chu, or covets the position of the Prince of Chu's principal wife, or even the foreseeable position of Empress. She is not of the same mind as the Yongchang Marquis's family.

Then look at the attitude of the Lady of Yongning Marquis...

While she wasn't one to suffer losses, she wasn't impulsive either.

Judging from her past actions, she either doesn't act at all, or when she does, it's deadly. At the very least, she inflicts excruciating pain and leaves a lasting impression.

But why did she repeatedly hit people today?

Pushing someone down a gentle slope? Slapping someone? Kicking someone in the chest or abdomen? ...

These are just some trivial lessons, no matter how you look at them.

All of this... seems more like it was done intentionally.

Lady Yongning readily agreed to annul the engagement and even encouraged the Prince of Chu to approach Emperor Xiaozhao about the matter.

Therefore, the Yongning Marquis's family had already been considering breaking off the engagement for some time.

Indeed, the people of the Yongning Marquis's residence are not stupid; they naturally know that Emperor Xiaozhao does not want to see them unite with the Yongchang Marquis's residence.

Finding a way to dissolve the engagement is the best option for the Yongning Marquis's household at present.

Hehe, this is interesting.

Qiao Qinghe watched the reactions of everyone in the room with amusement.

These women who stood up to accuse the real Miss Zhen Huan were clearly with Miss Wen.

It's unclear whether the Yongchang Marquis's family thanked them or hated them afterward.

Yu Huanzhen walked calmly to the front of the group, bowed respectfully, and then turned to Wenxi and the others, saying in a calm tone, "You say I hit you, I admit it, I did hit you."

Her arrogant attitude shocked everyone who heard her say that.

Wenxi and the others were even more furious. Someone pointed at her and exclaimed, "You admit it? Grand Madam, Princess, Prince, look, she admitted it herself!"

Someone suddenly knelt on the ground, crying and pleading, "Please, Princess! Please, elders, do justice for me!"

Wenxi glared fiercely at Yu Huanzhen, then bowed to Madam Wen and the others, saying aggrievedly, "Grandmother, you heard it too, Yu Huanzhen himself admitted it. I beg you to handle this matter impartially and give your granddaughter justice."

In Wenxi's eyes, whether it was Princess Huaiyang or the King of Chu, they were both juniors in front of her grandmother. Therefore, she only needed to persuade her grandmother.

Little did she know that, in the eyes of others, her actions were seen as the eldest daughter of the Yongchang Marquis's mansion completely disregarding the person in charge, Li Sanqi.

As the young ladies pleaded and cried, everyone turned their questioning gazes toward Yu Zhenhuan.

However, before anyone could say anything, Yu Huanzhen continued, "Gentlemen, before you ask Princess Huaiyang and your elders to stand up for you, shouldn't you tell them why I beat you?"

Everyone was taken aback, and a hint of panic flashed across the faces of the young ladies.

“Your Highness, Your Highness the Prince of Chu, and all elders, I did indeed hit someone. However, it was Miss Wen and the ladies around her who started it.”

Yu Zhenhuan said calmly, "They not only attacked me first, but also tried to gang up on me. It's just that they were no match for me, so I beat them up."

"As for why Miss Wen attacked me, it's because the people around her led everyone to slander Madam Qinghe and Miss Qiao Ning, and were disrespectful to Princess Liyang. I couldn't stand it, so I said a few truthful things to put Miss Wen in her place, which made her angry and embarrassed, so she attacked me."

"You, you're talking nonsense!" Wenxi quickly denied, her eyes sweeping over the group of young ladies standing behind the elders with a hint of warning.

Yu Zhenhuan naturally saw Wenxi's gaze, but she still said, "Everyone present here is a witness to this matter."

As he spoke, his gaze swept indifferently over the same group of people.

When they met her gaze, these people either looked away or lowered their heads, and almost none of them dared to meet her eyes.

Wenxi secretly gave Yu Huanzhen a provocative look.

Yu Zhenhuan returned her a contemptuous smile.

Li Sanqi, Madam Wen, and the other elders present all looked at the younger generation.

There wasn't even a single person who stepped forward to testify.

Everyone frowned and looked at Yu Huanzhen with suspicion.

Just then, Li Jingyue, who had been ignored by everyone, stood up from a secluded corner.

She nodded gently to the crowd, then slowly said, "I can testify that what Miss Yu said is true."

"It was indeed this Miss Lin who instigated everyone to criticize Miss Qiao Ning and Madam Qinghe. As for whether Miss Lin was instructed by Miss Wen, I have no idea."

"As for Miss Wen's rudeness towards me and her instigation of others to speak ill of me to my face, I did not take it to heart."

After speaking, Li Jingyue nodded slightly to everyone and then sat back down gracefully.

Li Jingyue's words were calm and composed, yet they caused quite a stir.

"Huh? Miss Wen is really being disrespectful to Princess Liyang! She doesn't take Princess Liyang seriously at all!"

"The Yongchang Marquis's mansion is adorned with flowers and brocade, enjoying unparalleled prestige. It's only natural that they would look down on the helpless Princess Liyang, isn't it?"

"Who can argue with that!"

"Princess Ke Liyang is indeed a princess with a title!"

"Heh, so what? She was never favored by the Emperor to begin with, and now her mother has become a disgraced concubine! Tsk tsk..."

Some say Miss Wen is arrogant, some say Princess Liyang is pitiful, but no one questions whether Wen Xi would dare to be disrespectful to Li Jingyue.

Because, as everyone knows, the answer is yes.
