"Qin Wu, if you don't want to, then don't say it." Before Qin Wu could say anything, Qin Yinnuan took the lead and said, "I really don't care what others think of me."
"The innocent are innocent. You are so hostile to me because you are not confident and are afraid that I will steal your man."
"But I can guarantee in front of everyone that I can find a better man and I will never have any other thoughts about a married man."
Qin Yinnuan expressed her ideas generously and even though her words were a little out of line, she won the attention of others.
Even though they had previously suspected that Qin Yinnuan's innocence had been tarnished by Prince Qi, these righteous words made them feel that they had really underestimated Qin Yinnuan.
After all, given her status, there is really no need for her to be someone else's concubine.
Combined with what Qi Xiuzhe just said, half of the people already believed that Qi Xiuzhe and Qin Wu rode back together on the same horse.
But this only made Qin Wu seem even more inferior to Qin Yinnuan and she was outdone.
Similarly, Qin Suhu and others felt that Qin Yinnuan was generous and kind after hearing her words, and she was completely incomparable to people like Qin Wu.
But after hearing what she said, Qi Xiuzhe's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness, and he clenched his hands slightly. She really didn't love him, and her feelings for him were only brother and sister.
...
...
"She was the one who maliciously planned to damage your and Qi Xiuzhe's reputation. You don't need her to clarify, but how will others view you?"
Qin Su or disagreed with what Qin Yinnuan said, "This mess was caused by her, so she should be asked to explain!"
Qin Suhu then said to Qin Wu angrily, "Are you mute? Hurry up and prove Xiao Nuan's innocence!"
Qin Wu sneered in her heart. She glanced at them indifferently and her eyes fell on the people who were watching and whispering.
There was no pain on her face, only a hint of indifference. Qin Wu said, "Maybe everyone saw it wrong that day. I was hurt by the robbers and was scared to the point of giving birth prematurely. Prince Qi rode a horse and brought me back."
"Please don't misunderstand the relationship between Miss Qin and Prince Qi. They are just brother and sister."
Then she bowed deeply to Qin Yinnuan and said, "Miss Qin, I'm sorry."
"What you said makes sense. Those who are innocent are innocent. I shouldn't doubt your innocence and interfere. From now on, I will never go against you for how you and Qi Xiuzhe get along."
Qin Wu spoke very sincerely, but a cunning and cold light flashed in her lowered eyes.
She lied to Qin Yinnuan to prove that her relationship with Qi Xiuzhe was innocent, and she was bound to be humiliated and despised by everyone.
No one in the Qin family or Qi Xiuzhe would care about her. As long as Qin Yinnuan was innocent, they didn't care whether she was dead or alive.
But she wouldn't let them manipulate her anymore.
Her willingness to come and clear Qin Yinnuan's reputation was naturally well calculated.
There must be a reward for every effort, so it’s okay to suffer a little humiliation now.
What's more, if they asked her to lie and clarify the matter between them, wouldn't others discuss the facts?
Facts are facts, and when the truth comes out, the lies they let her tell will backfire on them even more.
"So that's really the case. Miss Qin is not a stickler for details. She would definitely stay within normal limits when communicating with men. How could she hug and cuddle with Prince Qi and do something immoral..."
"We misunderstood Miss Qin. Don't say such things in the future..."
Following Qin Wu's explanation, almost everyone present believed that Qin Yinnuan and Qi Xiuzhe were innocent.
But he looked down on Qin Wu even more.
"A jealous woman is a jealous woman, she is very sinister. If she had come out to explain the situation earlier, we wouldn't have misunderstood Miss Qin's reputation..."
"I think Qin Wu did it on purpose. She just wanted to ruin Miss Qin's reputation. She is really vicious."
"Fortunately, she now knows she was wrong and can apologize to Miss Qin. I hope she can keep her word and stop targeting Miss Qin. You know, she is just a fake daughter and can be kicked out of the Qin family at any time..."
"That's right. Without the Qin family, she is nothing..."
Qin Suhuo and others did not expect Qin Wu to apologize to Qin Yinnuan and say that she would correct her behavior, which made them feel a little surprised.
Qin Suhuo snorted coldly, "Why don't you apologize to Xiao Nuan earlier, recognize your mistakes and correct them? Why do you have to seek death?"
Since she knows she was wrong, she will apologize to him later, right? But he wouldn't forgive her so easily.
Qi Xiuzhe frowned at Qin Wu's figure. She was apologizing to Qin Yinnuan, but he felt that her words had another meaning.
A trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart, and he felt that Qin Wu in front of him seemed to be walking away from him.
But on second thought, it’s impossible. Qin Wu loves him so much, isn’t she doing all this just to win his favor?
She was wronged today, but if she hadn't had people fanning the flames behind the scenes, he and Xiao Nuan wouldn't have been criticized by the people, and Xiao Nuan's reputation wouldn't have been almost ruined.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. Qin will discipline her strictly in the future. Please don't criticize this matter anymore."
"Qin has prepared a small gift red envelope to give to the villagers."
Prime Minister Qin asked someone to prepare some money, and the common people who came to listen to Qin Wu testify for the two of them could get eighteen copper coins.
It wasn't a lot of money, but it was like getting a meal for free, which made the people very happy.
Not only will it clear Qin Yinnuan's guilt, but it will also win over the people's favor towards the Qin family.
It has to be said that every step taken by Prime Minister Qin is motivated by interests.
The housekeeper had asked the servants to take out the red envelopes containing eighteen copper coins, and the visitors lined up to receive them.
There was a carriage parked not far away. A man in gorgeous brocade clothes was holding an apple in his hand and taking a big bite. He watched the scene through the carriage window.
After a moment, he spoke incoherently to the staff around him, "It seems that Prince Qi really loves Qin Yinnuan. For her, he is willing to drag his wife out to take the blame."
"What this prince hates most is a man who is incompetent and makes his wife suffer all kinds of grievances."
"What does the Third Prince mean?"
"Have you heard that a man who doesn't love and care for his woman is unreliable? Well, if the Qi family hinders this prince's great cause, I will kill them. There is no need to recruit them."
"But if the army controlled by the Qi family defected to the Second Prince or the First Prince, it would be disadvantageous to us."
After eating the apple in his hand, the Third Prince threw the core on Han Zheng without any dignity, and wiped his hands with his clothes, "Why did this prince raise you? If you can't use it, won't it be ruined?"
"yes."
"This real daughter seems to be quite scheming. Tell me, should I let her become my third imperial consort? What if she disobeys me and plots against me?"
"If he can get the help of Prime Minister Qin, the third prince will have a greater chance of becoming the crown prince."
"Tsk tsk, if I can convince the Imperial Master, I can become the Crown Prince directly, wouldn't that be even better?"
Staff member Han Zheng, "..."
Third Prince, everything you say is right, yes, yes, yes, yes...
"I was originally very fond of Qin Wu, but unfortunately she only had eyes for Qi Xiuzhe. I really wasted all my efforts. If she had agreed to marry me, she wouldn't have suffered such humiliation today."
Those common people could be fooled, but how could the third prince, who was keeping an eye on the Qin and Qi families, not know whether the person Qi Xiuzhe was holding on horseback a few days ago was Qin Wu or Qin Yinnuan.
Han Zheng secretly thought in his heart, could it be that the Third Prince wanted to steal Qi Xiuzhe's wife by finding such a lame excuse to kill Qi Xiuzhe?
