Chapter 73 There are still many good people in the world
"The princess has gone to look for His Majesty and the Queen."
After hearing what the maid said, all of Jiang Yuan's hopes sank to the bottom.
She was not a fool. How could she not see that Xiao Nanyi was deliberately avoiding her and did not want to have anything to do with her?
It was true that she wanted to give Wen Nianxi the drug, but the banquet was held in Xiao Nanyi Palace and she was the host of the banquet. In the end, she was the one who got tricked.
How could Xiao Nanyi escape from this matter!
Outside, Han Gaojie was still shouting loudly, making a fuss about this as if it were some glorious thing. Jiang Yuan was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she wanted to go up to him and tear his mouth apart immediately, so that he would stop biting like this.
"Have you received any letter from home?"
This time, she was the only one from the entire Xindu Marquisate who came to the autumn hunt. As an unmarried woman, she suffered a lot when faced with such a situation, and without the support of her elders.
"The princess sent someone to deliver the letter as soon as possible in the morning."
But Quzuo was only two hundred miles away from the capital, and even if she rode as fast as she could, it would be too late by the time her father and mother arrived. The stigma on her body could not be washed away no matter what.
Jiang Yuan was so confused after such an embarrassing incident today. She couldn't find an outlet for all the emotions in her heart. "Where's Wen Nianxi?"
She suddenly thought of something and asked hastily, "How is that little bitch Wen Nianxi doing now? Has she..."
The maid couldn't help but lower her head even more and said softly, "I don't know."
"It seems that I'm the only one who's in trouble." Jiang Yuan laughed, her face flushed, as if she was still drunk. She slapped the maid on the face with such force that she fell to the ground.
"You bitch hurt me!"
At this moment, another personal maid Qiu'er walked into the hall quickly, pretending not to see the broken teapot and cups, and the mess on the ground, and said, "Miss, Pei Langjun is here."
Jiang Yuan was completely numb at this moment, but after a while, her eyes moved around and slowly regained their luster.
Pei Jian is here!
Jiang Yuan remembered that time in the forest, it was Pei Jian who descended from the sky like a god and saved her from danger. He kicked the malicious Han Gaojie away, leaving him unable to get up for half a day and unable to utter bad words again.
Pei Jian is here to help her!
Of course!
Jiang Yuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and shouted to Qiu'er, "Hurry up and change your clothes for me, and let's go to the front hall!"
In the front hall, Han Lin had already stopped beating because he was tired. Han Gaojie had basically said everything he needed to say. Even if His Majesty and His Majesty asked about this matter, they would have something to say.
To put it bluntly, it was just a matter of love between men and women. The Xindu Marquis' family was not bad. At worst, Gao Jie would have to suffer a little and marry the girl from the Jiang family.
When Pei Zhen entered the hall, Han Lin hadn't noticed yet. Thanks to Han Gaojie's sharp eyes, he caught a glimpse of him and quickly ran behind his father.
He just thought Pei Jian came here to vent his anger for Jiang Yuan. That hole in the woods really hurt.
"Master Pei."
Han Lin turned around and nodded to Pei Jian, "Master Pei doesn't seem to be among the escorts this time? Why is he in the palace now?"
Pei Jian was always sullen, with no emotion visible on his face. He said calmly, "The Censorate has important matters to discuss with the Crown Prince."
His lukewarm attitude makes people feel scared.
Although Pei Jian's official rank is not high now, he is young, highly regarded, and capable. A few days ago, he quietly captured the governor of Lan County, shocking the entire court and the country.
If Your Majesty was not about to go on the autumn hunt, I would have been promoted. The young people are really to be feared.
Although Han Lin married the princess and obtained the title of Marquis Anjing, it was just an empty title after all. When he saw the powerful official, he couldn't help but feel awe.
Therefore, his attitude towards Pei Jian became more and more friendly, and he let the incident of his son being beaten go without mentioning it.
After a few pleasantries, Han Lin asked, "Today my son had some trouble with Miss Jiang. I wonder why Master Pei came here?"
Pei Jian glanced at him.
His attitude was always calm, he seemed to be smiling, and his tone was gentle, but the anger in his eyes could not be concealed at all, and Han Lin saw it.
"That's exactly what I'm talking about."
After he finished speaking, Han Lin's heart sank. Just as she was about to say a few more words, or ask Han Gaojie to howl a few times, several people walked out of the inner hall quickly. They were Jiang Yuan and her maid.
"Pei Langjun!"
Jiang Yuan's eyes were filled with tears. She quickly walked to Pei Jian's side, as if she had seen a savior. Her voice was full of grievance, and she said pitifully, "Mr. Pei, you have to do justice for me! I was harmed by someone. It's definitely not... not what Han Gaojie said."
No matter how domineering a girl is, she will be at a loss when encountering such a thing.
She also couldn't understand why Pei Jian would help her. Obviously, Pei Jian was the most rude person. Many young ladies in the capital were in love with him, but he didn't give them any face. Even someone like Wan Xin was humiliated by him when she came to propose marriage.
But she couldn't care less at this moment.
Maybe she caught Pei Jian's eye?
Who can say for sure about matters of the heart?
Compared to Han Gaojie's vulgarity, Pei Jian is as elegant as a man under the moon, with unparalleled jade quality, graceful and calm.
Just like now, he was looking at her, his pupils were clear and black, serious and calm, making people feel at peace, "You said, someone hurt you?"
Pei Jian asked slowly and calmly, but his answer was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
Jiang Yuan nodded hastily as if she saw the light, "Someone must have harmed me! Otherwise, how could a girl like me do that to Han Gaojie?"
Han Lin and his son, who were standing by, also became anxious when they heard this, fearing that the blame would fall on them.
Han Gaojie reacted quickly and jumped out to confront Jiang Yuan, "Who wants to hurt you! With your flat body without any flesh, it's uncomfortable for you to cling to me. I have been waiting for someone under the ginkgo tree, innocent. But you are so promiscuous, I don't know which lover you think I am?"
"you!"
Jiang Yuan was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die.
Especially in front of Pei Jian, she was humiliated by Han Gaojie and was so angry that she almost couldn't stand steadily.
Pei Jian ignored Han Gaojie's humiliation and stared at Jiang Yuan, asking, "Who hurt you?"
Jiang Yuan was about to blurt out—"Wen Nianxi!"
Pei Jian raised his voice, quite meaningfully, "Think carefully about who harmed you."
Jiang Yuan suddenly woke up.
If it was Wen Nianxi who harmed her, where was the evidence? The banquet was held in the Qing Palace, not the West Garden. How could Wen Nianxi, the daughter of a fourth-rank official, be so well-connected as to poison the Xinchang Princess at her banquet?
Who would believe her?
What's more, behind Wen Nianxi, there is that crazy woman Xiao Nanxi, who will definitely stand up for her.
I can only feel pity for her. Since the accident, only Pei Langjun has been willing to help her, while Xiao Nanyi has long since hidden away.
Obviously, the idea of finding Han Gaojie to discredit Wen Nianxi was proposed by Xiao Nanyi!
She hurt her so much!
"Princess Xinchang!"
Pei Jian's eyes were deep and his face was calm and indifferent, showing no surprise at all. There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips. He looked at Jiang Yuan and asked softly, "Who are you talking about?"
Jiang Yuan was stared at by such a pair of beautiful and deep eyes, and it seemed as if the love was real. She became more confident and said with certainty, "It was Princess Xinchang who drugged me, causing me to lose my original intention and find it difficult to control myself."
"It was Princess Xinchang who harmed me!"
Han Gaojie who kept roaring: ...?
Oh my God!
It turned out that it had nothing to do with him and he was actually the victim!
There are still many good people in this world~
"Jiang Yuan, what are you talking about?!"
