Chapter 58: What good will it bring you if you frame Nian Yin?
Jiang Nianyin shook her head, "No need, I'm not hurt."
"Fang Fei, be careful where you walk next time! Don't you know that Nian Yin is my best friend in Shengjing?" Bai Luoxue first accused her, then smiled and asked, "Nian Yin, are you here to buy clothes? I'll pay for whatever you like."
The female worker enviously asked, "Nian Yin, is this the young lady from your past?"
She liked to interact with Jiang Nianyin because Jiang Nianyin was well-read and spoke in a gentle and soft voice that made people feel comfortable. Her mother said that if you interact with such people, you will climb up the ladder quickly. Facts have proved that some time ago, when Xiumian Pavilion was selecting people, she and Jiang Nianyin were qualified to continue embroidering handkerchiefs and earn money.
Today, I actually get to meet Miss Dajia.
"Yeah." Jiang Nianyin responded softly.
Perhaps her mood has changed. Now when she sees Bai Luoxue, she always wants to escape. That arrogant look makes her very uncomfortable. But then she thinks that it is still her who has changed, and complicated emotions fill her heart.
Bai Luoxue asked with a smile: "Nian Yin, won't you introduce me?"
Jiang Nianyin pursed her lips and said, "General Bai's daughter, Bai Luoxue, is now General Chen's concubine."
Others looked over. This was the woman their General Chen brought back. I heard that he had forced his original wife to divorce. She was pretty. After all, she was the old general's daughter.
Many wives from wealthy families came forward to flatter him.
With Bai Luoxue's identity, it is only a matter of time before she becomes the general's wife.
"Oh, General's wife, no wonder I felt you were extraordinary from afar. It turns out you're a lady from Shengjing."
"The proprietress of Zhenxinglou, nice to meet you, Madam."
“…”
Compliments came one after another, and Jiang Nianyin was squeezed out.
Bai Luoxue smiled and said, "Hello, sisters. I'm not a wife yet, just a concubine."
"You are so modest. It's only a matter of time before you become a lady." Madam Qi smiled brightly as she stood by, complimenting him non-stop. "Madam, do you still remember my daughter Ya'er?"
"Remember, remember..." She responded and looked at Fangfei, indicating that they could start. It was really too troublesome to deal with these women.
These unruly people who came from such a poor and remote place really talk a lot.
Suddenly, Fangfei touched her waist and exclaimed, "Ouch! Where's the banknote in my purse? It was just here. How did it disappear? Did it fall to the ground?"
"Look carefully." Bai Luoxue urged.
When everyone heard that Bai Luoxue had dropped some silver, they all looked down quickly. "No." "I don't have any here either." "Did someone take it away?"
Hearing this, Bai Luoxue smiled gently in her eyes and raised her hand, saying, "All those present here are sisters from good families. How could they possibly steal the silver? I guess it was blown away by the strong wind?"
She looked ahead and invited.
"Nian Yin, come, let's pick out clothes together."
Fang Fei hurriedly said, "Miss Jiang, I accidentally bumped into you just now. Did you see the banknotes in my purse? If you did, tell me. It's a hundred taels. I can never pay it back in my lifetime."
Jiang Nianyin frowned slightly, feeling very uncomfortable.
“No.”
Suddenly, Madam Qi sneered, "Oh, we don't need the hundred taels, but someone else is short of silver. Miss Fangfei, you are Madam's close friend and you are very polite. We understand that. But Jiang Nianyin is not Miss Jiang. She is just an outlaw, not even as good as the beggars outside. Maybe she stole it."
"I didn't steal it." Jiang Nianyin looked at Bai Luoxue and said with a trembling heart.
Fang Fei put her hands on her hips and shouted, "You said you didn't steal it, so you didn't steal it. That's one hundred taels of silver, enough to turn your life around. Miss Jiang, if you let us search you, won't that prove you didn't steal it?"
They just wanted to watch the fun and join in the fun.
"That's right. Take off your coat and let us search it, then we'll know."
Jiang Nianyin bit her lower lip tightly. She leaned against the corner and said with her head down: "I didn't steal, and I won't accept a body search..."
If you take off your outer clothes outside, your innocence will be ruined.
What's more, there are many male guests around.
Bai Luoxue said guiltily, "Nian Yin, I believe you didn't steal, but rumors can kill people. You don't want your uncle and aunt to hear that you stole anything, right? Otherwise, let Fang Fei search? Anyway, you didn't steal it, you just want to prove your innocence, right?"
Jiang Nianyin held the hem of her skirt tightly.
Qian Junjie shouted in the crowd: "Jiang Jing, you are still delivering firewood, your sister is being bullied by the third sister!"
Jiang Jing pushed through the crowd and saw his sister being pointed at. Anger welled up in his heart. "Nian Yin, come here. Don't argue with them. No matter how you prove yourself, they will misunderstand you because your innocence has long been deliberately slandered by them."
Mrs. Qi and others looked unhappy.
But he looked down on the Jiang family.
"Fugitives are low-quality. My sister stole some silver, and my brother came to protect her? What a shameless person! He's just a firewood deliveryman, isn't he?"
"Enough!" Bai Luoxue shouted angrily. Seeing Jiang Jing being insulted, her heart was very bitter. She forced a smile and said, "Sisters, please be careful with your words. The Jiang family has been very good to me. Jiang Jing, for Nian Yin's sake, can you please spare me a moment to speak?"
She walked to where there was no one.
After a moment, Jiang Jing moved his feet, and Jiang Nianyin held his hand, "Brother, don't go..."
At this moment, she completely understood that Bai Luoxue did not regard her as a friend at all, and approached her only for the sake of his brother.
"It's okay." Jiang Jing smiled faintly. He walked over and looked at Bai Luoxue coldly. "Bai Luoxue, what on earth do you want to do by framing Nian Yin? Don't destroy the last bit of friendship between the Jiang and Bai families."
Bai Luoxue wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and wrapped it around her fair fingers.
"Affection, then Brother Jing, do you still remember the affection between us? Others laugh at me, saying I'm your follower. I've waited for so long, but you never came to propose marriage. And you just came here and you fell in love with Jiusu. Could it be that you've been in this small county for so long that you've forgotten the goodness of the noble ladies of Shengjing and are now interested in country women?"
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Jiang Jing frowned.
Bai Luoxue immediately threatened: "Do you have time to accompany Jiang Nianyin to the government office? She has a hundred taels of silver on her waist. What will happen to her if I report her to the authorities? A commoner would be exiled three thousand miles away, but as a criminal, I'm afraid she will be beaten first and then punished. Jiang Nianyin is beautiful, so you can imagine the consequences..."
A hint of coldness flashed across Jiang Jing's eyes, and he saw that the fabric of his sister's clothes was uneven in front of her belly.
His eyes darkened, "What good will it do you if you frame Nian Yin?"
"There are many benefits." Bai Luoxue looked up, her eyes gleaming. "I've already bribed the county magistrate. As long as I report her to the authorities, she will be killed. I want you to come with me and be my personal bodyguard to relieve your loneliness. I will pay you and secretly take you back to Shengjing. What can that woman Jiusu bring you? Eating wild vegetables for the rest of your life?"
She leaned in closer, seductively.
"Brother Jing, think carefully. Is a woman more important than my uncle, aunt, and Nian Yin? Think about why you were exiled. Only when you have power can you seek revenge."
