The night gradually enveloped Huajianju, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.
Suddenly, a figure sneaked in, quickly broke into the dormitory, and climbed onto the bed.
In the darkness, Jiang Qingyao noticed someone approaching and turned over to press forward.
Her eyes turned cold and she picked up the porcelain pillow and threw it at him.
The person who came groaned, it was a man's voice.
Then, the maids heard the noise and rushed in immediately, beating gongs and drums.
"Someone, there's a thief!"
"A thief has broken into the house! Help!"
Jiang Qingyao kicked the man off the bed without mercy.
At this time, the lights came on and she saw the person clearly. It was indeed him!
——Prince An.
"Why are you still awake?" Prince An looked surprised, his brows furrowed in displeasure, and he felt very unhappy.
I cursed "waste" in my heart.
Jiang Yunxue, that loser, can't even handle such a small matter.
The beating of drums and gongs in Huajianju soon alarmed the people in the mansion, and the housekeeper rushed over with the servants, old women and maids.
People from other courtyards also came over curiously.
"What? There was a thief in the mansion? Which thief is so bold as to steal in the mansion of the Earl of Ningyuan?" Jiang Yisong was furious and ordered all the servants to grab their weapons.
He had originally planned to spend the night with the beauty and spend the night with her, but now he was treated as a thief, and Prince An's face was full of murderous intent.
"Who are you? Why are you breaking into Huajianju in the middle of the night?" Jiang Yisong pointed at King An's nose and asked.
Jiang Yunxue was panicked. Seeing Jiang Qingyao standing there perfectly fine, she wondered how this could happen.
She had clearly asked someone to put something in the soup, so she should be unconscious by now, powerless and at the mercy of others.
"Father, this might be a misunderstanding. This person is not a thief." Jiang Yunxue explained quickly, fearing that it would displease Prince An and cause trouble.
Jiang Yisong snorted coldly, "He looks well-dressed, but what decent man would break into a woman's bedroom in the middle of the night?"
"He's clearly a lecher, he deserves to be beaten to death."
Jiang Yunxue's expression immediately changed, and she screamed, "Father! Be careful with your words!"
It was the first time Jiang Qingyao heard her father speak human language. She said coldly, "Your Highness Prince An, what do you want to do here so late at night?"
An, His Royal Highness Prince An?
This lecher is actually Prince An?
Jiang Yisong's breathing stagnated and he broke out in a cold sweat. What he had just said offended Prince An, which was a serious crime!
The others were also stunned.
How could such a distinguished figure as Prince An come to the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion?
Old Madam Jiang arrived last and was supported by someone. When she heard the other party's identity, she was surprised.
Prince An's face was terribly gloomy. "Jiang Qingyao has seduced me time and again, so I must come and explain things to her."
Jiang Qingyao: "..." I have never seen such a shameless person!
He did something dirty, but he turned the blame on her and threw dirty water on her.
Jiang Qingyao scoffed, "Your Highness Prince An may not be good at anything else, but he's really good at confusing right and wrong. How can I seduce you?"
"Besides, I already have a fiancé like Marquis Anguo, who is talented, handsome, and of high moral character. Why would I seduce you?"
She was just about to say "Do you deserve it?"
"Jiang Qingyao!" Old Madam Jiang shouted, raising her cane to hit her. "How dare you!"
"Have you lost your mind? How dare you speak to His Highness Prince An like this?"
"Kneel down quickly and kowtow to His Royal Highness Prince An and admit your fault, otherwise I will never forgive you."
Even a discerning person could see that Prince An was lying with his eyes open. It was obvious that he broke into the boudoir at night with bad intentions, and he turned around and slandered Jiang Qingyao.
But Prince An is of noble status and is not someone that the Ningyuan Earl’s Mansion can afford to offend.
Old Madam Jiang naturally would not allow Jiang Qingyao to act on impulse and displease Prince An.
Jiang Yisong quickly spoke up: "It's a misunderstanding, Your Highness Prince An, it's all a misunderstanding."
He pointed at Jiang Qingyao and said, "Qingyao, kneel down quickly and apologize to His Highness Prince An. If you cannot be forgiven by His Highness Prince An, you must keep kneeling until His Highness is satisfied."
It doesn't matter what the truth is. It doesn't matter what happens to a mere daughter. The most important thing is not to anger His Royal Highness Prince An and bring disaster upon himself.
Jiang Yisong was humble and fawning in front of King An, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart that if Jiang Qingyao hadn't been ignorant and obeyed King An, he wouldn't have to be so servile in front of King An.
It really damages his reputation as the head of the family.
Jiang Yunxue also echoed: "Big sister, how can you be so shameless? You can't bear the loneliness and seduce His Highness Prince An. Fortunately, His Highness is handsome and calm, and he is a true gentleman. Now I am explaining it to you."
Everyone wanted her to bow her head and kneel down to admit her mistake, even though she was clearly the victim.
Jiang Qingyao took a deep breath and said, "I didn't."
She won't admit to something she hasn't done.
I cannot tolerate such slander against her without any reason.
The attitude of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion was so clear that Prince An already knew how unpopular she was, and there was a hint of mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Jiang Qingyao, believe it or not, as long as I tell Marquis Anguo a word, he will immediately cancel the engagement."
"A fickle woman who doesn't observe female virtues and attempts to seduce the prince. Who in the capital will dare to marry you from now on?"
He could easily destroy her with just one word.
Seeing Jiang Qingyao's frown, Prince An smiled even more deeply, with one hand behind his back.
"How about this, I'm not unreasonable. Kneel down and kowtow three times, and I'll consider forgiving you."
"Hurry, kneel down now?" Old Madam Jiang urged, raising the cane in her hand again.
Jiang Qingyao observed the expressions of the people present calmly.
Xu and Jiang Yunxue were proud, Jiang Xize, Jiang Huanming, and Jiang Shuning watched the show indifferently, Aunt Su looked gloating, and only Aunt Yun and Jiang Junru could not hide their sorrow.
"Are you worthy enough to ask me to kowtow and admit my mistake to you?" Jiang Qingyao raised her eyelids.
The fire in his eyes burned fiercely, like an inextinguishable torch, burning everything to ashes.
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Prince An had never been told such a thing before, so he tore off his disguise and said, "Jiang Qingyao, don't be ungrateful. Even if I really force myself on you tonight, the Marquis of Anguo won't say a word!"
Seeing him coming, the maids quickly picked up wooden sticks and stood in front of Jiang Qingyao. Even if they died tonight, they would protect the young lady.
Jiang Qingyao: "How dare a dignified prince disregard etiquette and forcibly seize a common woman in public! How absurd!"
"Evil creature." Old Madam Jiang cursed with a dark face, "It's your blessing that His Royal Highness Prince An likes you, so hurry up and give in."
Jiang Qingyao smiled and said, "You are really my good relatives."
When she was humiliated, not only did he not protect her, he also advised her to let the other party do whatever they wanted.
Jiang Junru was extremely anxious. She broke free from Aunt Yun's hand and ran to Prince An. "Your Highness Prince An, please let my elder sister go."
"roll--"
Prince An kicked her away and sent her flying.
Aunt Yun: "Junru!"
Jiang Qingyao: "Fourth sister!"
Aunt Yun held Jiang Junru in her arms. Jiang Junru's face was pale, sweat was on her forehead, and her facial features were rubbed together in pain.
"call out--"
A gust of wind blew, and a whip hit Prince An's face.
