The two argued for a long time before Shen Qingru finally took her hand away very "reluctantly", with the left side of her face already a little red.
Jiang Ling was speechless after seeing it clearly. She saw it clearly when Wu Wanying slapped her. Because she had just recovered from a serious illness, her hands were not strong enough and the people around her did not hit her hard, so it was just a loud noise and not even a finger mark was left. These red marks now were caused by her covering herself.
Why don't you be the heroine and take over her job as the green tea girl?
Of course, you can't expose this to someone's face.
"Who did it?" Zhou Jing'an frowned as he looked at the red mark, and looked at Wu Wanying and Jiang Ling. It was obvious that these two were responsible again.
Wu Wanying stepped forward. "It's me, so what?" Anger was still evident on her face. "She sent someone to drown me in the lake, and I nearly died. I was lucky to have slapped her."
Before Zhou Jing'an could say anything, Shen Qingru weakly retorted, "I think there must be some misunderstanding. Miss Wu and I have never had any contact, so why would I go to such great lengths to find someone to harm you? It must be a misunderstanding."
Her weak appearance, choked voice, and half of her face red really make people feel pity for her, Jiang Ling thought silently.
"Misunderstanding? The villain who drowned me in the lake said someone told him to tell me not to covet those who didn't belong to me, and let me go to hell with those wishful thinking." Wu Wanying sneered, "When I was struggling to death, I grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go, asking him to tell me who was trying to harm me. He got tired of my questions and just said his last name was Chen before knocking me unconscious."
Jiang Ling exclaimed in her heart, "Wow, what a guy!" Shen Qingru's proxy said exactly the same thing. Moreover, this villain must have been in a hurry to get off work, as he actually gave Shen Qingru away so easily.
As soon as Wu Wanying said this, everyone fell silent again. Shen Qingru looked delicate and weak, but could she really have such vicious means?
Shen Qingru saw that everyone was secretly looking at her, and she felt so angry that her teeth were itching. The people under her were not doing their job well and actually exposed her. It would be fine if she died, but not only did they expose her, but they didn't kill her either. It was so stupid.
She didn't show any emotion on her face, and replied with tears in her eyes, "Maybe someone is setting me up. I'm just a girl, how could I have the intention to hurt others? And where would I find someone who would hurt you?" She glanced at Jiang Ling vaguely, "Someone must have set me up."
Jiang Ling:......
Is Shen Qingru talking about her?
Everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Ling again. Jiang Ling thought speechlessly, these people are really just going with the flow.
Zhou Jing'an also looked at Jiang Ling. If he had to choose someone to trust, he would definitely choose Shen Qingru.
After all, Wu Wanying and Jiang Ling have criminal records. They always found excuses to pester him, intentionally or unintentionally belittling Shen Qingru, trying to destroy their relationship.
It is really difficult to resolve the issue of preconceived notions at the moment.
Jiang Ling also understood what Zhou Jing'an meant. He must be doubting himself.
This classmate Xiao Shen is really capable. It seems that she has successfully established a positive image. She turned the topic to herself in just a few words.
The male protagonist must be thinking that he is going to quibble again. He will definitely grab Shen Qingru and argue with her, which will probably be mixed with the crushing and belittlement of status in his words. Then Shen Qingru will bow her head with a sad and dejected face and admit her mistake, saying that she had no intention of offending the legitimate daughter of King Jingnan and will never make him angry again.
Well, now I will be added to the hero’s little notebook again.
Not only the male protagonist, but even the onlookers would label her as a bully.
Tsk, she is not the original body, she won’t be led by the nose like this.
-
Wu Wanying was still questioning Shen Qingru in disbelief, asking her not to accuse others without reason, saying that Jiang Ling was harmed by her and was afraid of her now, so how could she frame her? These words were like sharp swords, not only did they not hurt Shen Qingru, but instead made the people around them feel that the two were bullying the weak. They thought that maybe this was a drama directed and acted by her and Jiang Ling themselves to attract Zhou Jing'an's attention.
Jiang Ling saw that the wind was blowing in a different direction and Zhou Jing'an's brows were furrowed deeper and deeper. She felt helpless. This little Wu classmate really didn't learn from his mistakes and even lost his rationality.
She rushed out to save the situation, but did not help her to curse. Instead, she timidly pulled Wu Wanying's sleeve and whispered to her, "Wanying, stop talking. Maybe... maybe there really is a misunderstanding. You and I were just unlucky and ran into bandits. It has nothing to do with Miss Shen... Miss Chen."
Her voice was so soft that except for a few people who were nearby, no one else noticed. But seeing her with her head down, her face pale, and her body tense, they all felt even more strange.
This is really not like Jiang Ling.
Zhou Jing'an saw that her face was pale, just like the last time at Cheng's farm, and his mind paused for a moment.
"Jiang Ling! Why are you so cowardly? She almost killed you." Wu Wanying looked as if she was disappointed in her child.
Jiang Ling bit her lip and said nothing, but just advised her to calm down, "This is the Chen Mansion, and we are still at the banquet. Let's talk about this later."
She didn't believe that the owner of the house didn't know about such a big commotion. Chen Lianyi must be watching the show in the dark, wanting to wait until the matter became clear before coming out to act as a peacemaker.
She wouldn't agree to it. She was acting so enthusiastically, don't even think about giving her a break.
As soon as this was said, someone said they had sent for Chen Lianyi. They were all wondering why she hadn't come yet, given that something had happened at their party. Sure enough, Chen Lianyi rushed in, "What's going on? Why are they arguing out of the blue?"
