Chapter 61: Fighting Everyone Equally
Jun Wenying, bewildered, could only stare and look on stupidly.
Seeing her like this, Jun Wenshu's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.
She raised her eyebrows and glared at Jun Wenying, "You have the nerve to steal, but you don't have the nerve to admit it?"
Just like before, she bit Jun Wenying to death and stole the hairpin.
Deng Youning glanced at Jun Wenying worriedly.
At this moment, she was almost as anxious as an ant on hot pan, and her eyes were a little red.
No matter how she proved that she did not steal, Jun Wenshu did not believe her, and neither did anyone else present!
"Princess Youning, I really didn't steal my sister's hairpin!"
"In the morning, my sister asked me to oil her hairpins. I put them on her dressing table after I finished."
"How did it disappear? I really don't know!"
Jun Wenying's voice was choked with sobs, and tears as big as beans fell down her chubby face, making crackling sounds.
Deng Youning frowned.
Although she didn't know what had happened, she was willing to believe that Jun Wenying was innocent.
Jun Wenshu sneered at her words.
"You said you put it on the table. Who saw it?"
Jun Wenying was speechless, as she was indeed the only one in the room at that time.
Seeing that she remained silent, Jun Wenshu stood there with his arms folded impatiently, looking like a winner.
Among the crowd watching, some older officials' family members could not help but scold them in the tone of elders.
"The twelfth princess and the seventh princess have already said that they will not hold you responsible. Just admit it and take responsibility for your actions!"
"Seventh Princess and Miss Deng are really sinful! They both have a troublesome sister."
"As expected of a slave girl, the reputation of the Dongji royal family is almost ruined by the Seventh Princess!"
“…”
These people are going further and further.
He had already started to curse Jun Wenying’s deceased mother.
For the sake of wealth and glory, she seduced the emperor...
Like mother, like daughter, equally shameless.
These words were like piercing ice spikes, piercing Jun Wenying's heart.
She has been used to hearing such words since she was a child.
Although she was a princess, even eunuchs and palace maids dared to humiliate and beat her at will.
She looked at the people around her who were pointing fingers and speaking ill of her, and the tension in her heart finally broke.
She didn't have the strong heart like Deng Youning, so she hugged her head, covered her ears, and closed her eyes. For her, as long as she couldn't see, hear, or think about it, nothing would happen.
It was visibly that her body was shaking.
Being weak and powerless, she could only be framed, insulted and cursed by others.
No way to fight back!
Deng Youning looked at her, as if he saw himself in his previous life.
She clenched her fists. She didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but now she thought of what Jun Wenying had just said about wanting to be friends with her.
Since they are friends, she can't just ignore them.
She took a step forward and covered Jun Wenying's hands that were covering her ears with her hands.
The warm palm made Jun Wenying open her eyes in confusion. When she saw Deng Youning in front of her, she wanted to throw herself into her arms and cry.
The more people comfort you, the more wronged you feel.
Deng Youning held her hand tightly, as if to give her strength.
"Seventh Princess, you also said that when she put on her hairpin, no one saw it."
"Since there is no witness, how can you say she stole something?"
She disliked Jun Wenshu, the crazy woman, from the very beginning and was not afraid of offending her at all. She had enemies everywhere in the capital anyway, so she didn't need another enemy.
"And you, you are wrongly accusing people before the matter is clarified."
"You are all nobles in the capital, and the families of hundreds of officials in Dongji. Is this your upbringing and family tradition?"
She treated everyone equally.
Those who had any sense of dignity were so ashamed by what she said that they gradually dispersed and went about their own business.
In the blink of an eye, only a few people who had a good relationship with Jun Wenshu, Deng Xuelian and others were left around.
"Deng Youning, you are too presumptuous."
"You are just a county lady, but you don't take me seriously?!"
Seeing that she was gradually losing power, Jun Wenshu began to use her status to pressure others.
Deng Youning smiled contemptuously.
She is just the seventh princess. She is the one who even wants to kill the crown prince. How could she care about a princess?
"That's what you said yourself. I didn't think so."
"No matter who you are, you must not accuse anyone before the truth is revealed!"
Jun Wenshu was so angry that she laughed, "Deng Youning, you take yourself too seriously. This is a matter between us sisters, there is no need for you to meddle in our affairs!"
Deng Xuelian also responded, "Second sister, regardless of status, this is someone else's family affair. As outsiders, we should not say too much."
Their two sentences made Deng Youning the target of public criticism for a while.
"Evil girl, please behave yourself!"
Gu couldn't help but step forward. She called a few maids and old women and tried to pull Deng Youning away by force.
But how could they pull Deng Youning, who was skilled in martial arts?
Jun Wenying was afraid that Deng Youning would get hurt in the struggle with the servants, so she shook her head and advised:
"Ningning, please go."
"After so many years, I've gotten used to it."
"I'll take the blame for this one."
There was no light in the girl's pupils.
This is not the first time. From childhood to adulthood, I have been wronged countless times by Jun Wenshu and Jun Wenci.
It would be better if I was scolded by the queen.
At worst, you'll be punished by kneeling or being whipped, no big deal.
"No, if you didn't do it, you shouldn't admit it? Even if the whole world thinks you're wrong, as long as you stick to your heart, I believe the truth will come out sooner or later."
Deng Youning's words were also about herself.
She has never admitted anything about the Deng family, or the injustice and frame-ups that have been done against her, and she is also working hard to uncover the truth.
"The twelfth princess is my friend, I have to take care of her affairs!"
Deng Youning's tone was firm.
Today, Jun Wen is welcoming this person, and she, Deng Youning, will definitely protect him!
Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Gu hurriedly took Deng Xuelian and the Deng family servants to kneel down and plead with Jun Wenshu.
I just hope that the wrong things Deng Youning did will not implicate the Deng family.
When Deng Xuelian knelt down at that angle, she just happened to see the phoenix hairpin on Deng Youning's head.
"Second sister, why are you wearing a phoenix hairpin on your head?"
"Only the Queen Mother and the Empress can wear a phoenix hairpin of this quality!"
"Are you planning a rebellion?"
She exclaimed.
I was also very happy.
Deng Youning is really courting death!
Although the mistresses and old ladies of wealthy families could also wear phoenix hairpins, those they wore were made of kingfisher feather craftsmanship. Even if they were made of pure gold, they would only look like a peacock that looked very much like a phoenix.
But the one on Deng Youning’s head is indeed a real golden phoenix.
When she wears this, it's almost like she's secretly wearing a dragon robe.
"It was Nanny Song who brought her here just now. Could it be that she stole the empress dowager's jewelry?!"
Gu is really good at talking nonsense.
Her words gave Jun Wenshu something to talk about.
"What did I say? They really are just like-minded. Did they make an appointment to steal together today?"
Suddenly, everyone started talking again.
This time the commotion was even bigger, and even in the men's section, countless people crossed the gender line and came to watch the fun.
Deng Zheng discovered that the people in the accident were his own women, who were the first to bear the brunt of the pain.
It’s Deng Youning who is causing trouble for me again!
This is a debt collector.
She won't give up until she has brought disaster to the entire Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, right?
Deng Youning really couldn't stand these people who only knew how to cling to power and kill the weak with just their mouths.
"Shut up, everyone!"
She roared angrily and used her internal energy to smash the stone table in front of her.
